Recorded live at Bloc Festival last year, this hour-long mix is a testament to one of the most fertile periods in UK music history. The energy levels are through the roof, as Ben UFO thrashes his way through golden-age jungle by the likes of Photek and Doc Scott. With SP:MC and GQ on the mic, and the roar of the crowd in the background, it's not hard to imagine the darkness and the sweat and the thundering vibrations coursing through your feet.To those complaining about the MCs, Ben UFO left a message in the SoundCloud comments: "MC culture has always been a vital component of this music, and by extension my musical upbringing," he wrote. "It was a total privilege to play alongside SP and GQ, both legends in their own right. This is a rave recording—if you can only bring yourself to listen to clean, unmixed recordings you can feel free to go elsewhere, but maybe this music isn't for you." That raw, ecstatic rave energy is palpable here, and—alongside Ben's deadly selections—it's what makes this mix so thrilling.
