Fracture’s 0860 project continues to transmit. The latest episode, All Of The Massive, is presented as a 4 track EP featuring the much requested title track, previously only available as part of the 0860 mixtape, and 3 brand new fuzzy but fat Jungle tracks laden with radio chatter, characterful breaks and an authenticity that only a deep love of the culture can provide.

‘All Of The Massive’ pays homage to the UK Bleep & Bass sound that early Hardcore and Jungle drew on - warehouse acid riffs communicate the message until a lush and upbeat rave piano line intercepts the broadcast before crashing back into after dark mayhem.

‘What A Rush’ features an excited and passionate sample of Kool FM legend MC Freddie Supreme which sets the scene for a lush, drawn out and euphoric Lucky Spin style journey - “Oh my gosh, what a rush!”

The adverts were often as important as the music on Pirate Radio, providing listeners with information about the latest events - where they were and who was playing. ‘Selectors On Rotation’ is inspired by this bridge between radio and club.

‘Graveyard Slot’ closes the episode with a track strictly for the late night listeners. The 2am - 6am window on Pirate Radio is often where DJs would play the deeper cuts.

“I’m still here, still doing it and still excited. This project and concept still has so much more to give and I’ve been encouraged by the listeners to continue and expand the work. I’m not stopping here and you can expect more in the near future”.

Alongside the music there will be new interviews, new mix archives and new broadcasts via Fracture’s pop up radio station 0860.fm, serving the community with history and knowledge on which to build and take the culture forward.
