NICKY BLACKMARKET
"The baseline of modern UK electronic club culture wasn't written in lines of code—it was forged in the heat of Soho basement vinyl shops. If you don't respect the foundational weight of the plates, the whole ecosystem collapses."
Nicky Blackmarket stands as a foundational architect of the global Drum & Bass movement. Operating from the counter of the legendary Blackmarket Records on Soho's D'Arblay Street throughout the 1990s, he sat precisely at the epicenter of production, curation, and raw distribution. Nicky wasn't merely tracking trends; he was actively dictating the physical flow of test pressings and exclusive dubplates to the selectors who structured the sound of modern jungle.
In this definitive sit-down, the legendary pioneer tracks his relentless runtime behind the wheels of steel. From navigating the pressure points of the original warehouse explosion to fostering fresh underground talent for tomorrow's sound systems, Nicky remains an uncompromising champion for the music. Dive into the feature broadcast below to uncover the authentic narrative of London’s definitive sonic blueprint.

DJ BROCKIE
Long before forging the sonic foundations of the modern Jungle movement, Brockie's developmental baseline evolved through an intricate matrix of raw hip-hop, deep sound system weight, and rare groove pressings. This cross-genre background fueled his historic leap into structural breakbeats, setting off an artistic trajectory that directly ignited the underground blueprint of London in the early 1990s.
Commanding global dancefloors continuously since 1988, Brockie stands as an absolute architect of the culture. In 1991, he transformed pirate broadcasting forever by co-founding Kool FM 94.5—cementing its position as the longest-running, most culturally vital Drum & Bass institution across the electronic landscape.
