Mac II Records

DJ Randall

DJ Randall needs no introduction with releases on Ram Records (alongside Andy C), Moving Shadow, Reinforced as well as his own imprint Mac II and not forgetting his role in the legendary A.W.O.L. His new CD, Street Rollers will be hitting the shops at the end of the year - so look out for available tour dates!

Randall is definitely a natural when it comes to mixing, saying that the basics took him only a week to learn back in the mid 80s. However, he still had to continue refining his skills by studying music and making tapes every week. One of these tapes, in turn, got him a regular slot on legendary pirate Centreforce FM in 1989. It was here his reputation really started growing. Randall's style has always been fluid and probably always will, but changes in his selection have been noticeable in the past couple of years, with more emphasis on darkside flavas than before. This can be illustrated crudely by his transformation from AWOL resident to Metalheadz regular. Randall is simply reflecting what's going on around him and, even though some might say his sound has got 'darker', he inhabits that overlap between 'jump-up' jungle and 'darkside' drum & bass. He's always had broad tastes and, as long as those beats are running, there's easily enough room in his set to contrast a wide range of sounds, believe him when he says it's a drug and he needs a fresh fix of tunes in his box every week.

"Too Hot To Handle, Randall" has skills and a such a style that he is a favourite with crowds from Finland to Finsbury Park. He is one of the original Jungle Dons with sets that will blow your mind every time - and just wait until you hear a Randall J-Tek set!
