by Pearsall
American in Berlin! I've been a dj since 1997, playing across a wide range of dance music genres, as you can see from the variety of mixes. I love it all! Want recommendations? Drop me a DM and I'll hook you up. I sometimes play at Berlin clubs, but mostly I am a hardcore vinyl collector and bedroom mixer. Check out my blog at www.sonicrampage.org/blog

100 Circles Vol. 3: Adventures in Modern Drum n' Bass
The third volume in the 100 Circles series — dubby halftime, rollers, heavy hitters and a deep, atmospheric finish, built from what was left over after Volumes 1 and 2, and featuring "Seeing Faces," an unreleased track I made with @tim-reaper Blog post:...
-
100 Circles Vol. 2: Adventures in Modern Drum n' Bass
The second volume in the 100 Circles series - halfstep and juke, deep atmospherics, hard-rolling rollers, and full-force dancefloor tunes, built from what was left over after Volume 1. Blog post:...
-
100 Circles Vol. 1: Adventures in Modern Drum n' Bass
The first in a four-part series digging through years of crate-digging in drum n' bass and jungle - one hundred records, one hundred circles, split across four mixes. Volume one opens deep and half-tempo, then rolls harder as it goes. Blog:...

Trackheadz Gone Wild (A Third Jerome Hill Tribute Mix)
After a bit of a break, I'm back with a killer third tribute to London techno legend, @eromehill ! Mostly proper techno but with some fun electro and breakbeat bits thrown in as well Blog link:...
-
The Bristol Rollers Appreciation Society 2 (Bass Scoops Special)
This was a mix I did recently for @bassscoops - I wanted to go deep into my collection and put together a mix of amazing Bristol drum n' bass, and I think I delivered! All of these were released between 1996 and 1999, and it's a real heads selection - lots of remixes, compilation tracks and...
-
Streets are Watching (Old Skool Jump-Up Mix for People's Station)
One of my favorite eras for drum n' bass was the early jump-up sound in the mid-90's. Rugged breaks, wobbly basslines, rugged hip-hop samples - this was a truly banging style of rave music that still sounds incredible today. In this mix, originally recorded for the mighty @peoples-station, I drop...
-
Thrive in 95 (1995 Jungle Mix)
Let's kick off 2026 in some style! This is a mix of tracks released in 1995, possibly the greatest year in the history of jungle / drum n' bass music - on this mix you can hear a bit of everything, from ragga to rollers to deep atmospheric tracks to face-shredding tearouts. There's a few big...
-
(Not Really) Live in Kreuzberg [UK Funky Set for Seshington]
This is a re-recording of a set I played for the Seshington crew in Kreuzberg, Berlin in October 2025. It was a daytime party so I brought along a selection of (mostly) UK Funky and just had some fun! In fact, I enjoyed it so much I decided to re-record it and throw it online - I hope you enjoy…

(Not Really) Live In Edinburgh (Old Skool UK Hard House / Hard Trance)
This is a re-recording of a set I played at my friends' Andy & Lizzie's 25th anniversary party back in July. I first met Andy and Lizzie when they came to our first Rampage night at the Wee Red Bar in Edinburgh all the way back in February 2001, and we've been great friends ever since! This set…

Repertoire Records 2015-2024 [21st Century Music 003]
One of the best jungle / drum n' bass labels of the last decade has been Hertfordshire's @repertoiresound. I love how fearlessly label bosses @drumtrip and Ben Repertoire have curated the label's sound, putting out everything from murky halfstep to powerful rollers to lush atmospherics to...
-
Pearsall presents Rampage Revisited 2 [Early 2000's Hard Dance!]
I'm back in Edinburgh this weekend to celebrate my dear friends Andy & Lizzie's 25th anniversary, and to celebrate I've put together this mix to look back at Rampage, the Edinburgh club might where I first met them. Rampage was a great if not spectacularly successful club night that I co-promoted...
-
Yaman 1994 Hardcore Jungle (Mix for People's Station)
When my friend Vali from @parallaxrecordings asked if I wanted to drop another Yaman Productions tribute mix for @peoples-station I was all over the idea! Last time around I did a tribute to the 1993 crop of mixes, pulling together tracks from that year's selection of mixtapes. This time around...
-
Modern Dubstep 2014-2024 [21st Century Music 002]
Very excited to present the next mix in the 21st Century Music series, where I dig into my collection to pull out some gems from the first 25 years of this century. With this edition, I decided to have some fun with dubstep from the last decade - heavy bass, dread vibes, deep atmospheres. One for...
-
Proper Techno 2000-2005 [21st Century Music 001]
This year I'm kicking off a new mix series to celebrate the first 25 years of this century: 21st Century Music! Each mix will contain only music from this century. To kick things off, here's a mix of proper techno music from the beginning of the century. This is very personal for me, as this is a...
-
Squat Rocking 11 - Organgrinder Records 1997-2001 (A tribute to a key old skool London acid techno label!)
The 11th edition of my Squat Rocking series — dedicated to the sounds of the London illegal raves of my youth — is a special tribute to an obscure but brilliant label: Organgrinder Records. Run by Zebedee and Lawrence, Organgrinder never had the name recognition of labels like Stay Up Forever,...
-
Pearsall & K-Tech - Firestorm (recently rediscovered 2003 acid trance banger!)
This is an old track that I made with my friend Jamie, aka K-Tech, in his home studio in Barnet, North London, in the summer of 2003. It was then lost for over 20 years until Jamie recently found it on an old external hard drive ... which was a big score! I was very excited to hear it again,...
-
There & Back 012: December, Early Happy Hardcore 1993-1995
Happy hardcore is a funny one - a byword for the cheesiest dance music known to man, with the tackiest aesthetic. Whistles, white gloves, glowsticks. Saucer-shaped eyes, rictus grins, pumping fists. Hi-vis vests, cycling masks full of Vicks vapo-rub, tracksuits. As hardcore split into jungle and...
-
There & Back 011: November, DJ Zinc Breakbeat Garage 2000-2004
After the multi-genre mash-up that was There & Back 010 I decided to get more specific for the 11th edition in 2024's crate-digging mix series; in this case to really dig into and explore DJ Zinc's brief but really awesome run of producing breakbeat garage in the early 2000's. Those of you who…
more -
There & Back 010: October, More Bass Explorations 1996-2023
For the 10th mix in the There & Back series, I go deep joining the dots between different bass music styles over time, via a heady mixture of grime, dubstep, electro, breakbeat, UK bass, and even bits of bassline and Jersey club. Phew! Recorded in Berlin, December 2024 100% Vinyl (88:36, 203 MB,...
-
There & Back 009: September, Hardcore 1992-1994
For the 9th mix in my There & Back series of crate-digging mixes, I return to the golden era of old skool hardcore, 1992-1994, for some serious crate-digging efforts! It's crazy to think that these tunes are now 30 years old, but of course there's no sign of them ever settling down. I wanted to...
-
There & Back 008: August, UK Funky 2008-2011
I've always loved the UK Funky sound - it's as if classic American funky house was kidnapped and taken to a South London council estate and fed on a strict diet of soca, African percussion, dubstep, grime, UK garage, and broken beat in order to produce something that was completely London and...
-
There & Back 007: July, More Techstep B-Sides, Remixes & Album Tracks 1996-1999
I really love the techstep drum n' bass sound of the mid to late 90's, so here's another exploration of the more obscure side of this era, focusing on b-sides, remixes and album tracks from some of the scene's best-known names, as well as some more obscure artists. Some of these tracks I've NEVER...
-
There & Back 006: June, Fun Under 130 BPM 1996-2023
This year's crate-digging project continues with this fun tribute to stuff that happens below 130 bpm. I've never really been a house head, but I do have some bits and pieces, so I really enjoyed putting together this mix. It's a pretty serious crate-digging project, connecting the dots between...
-
There & Back 005: May, Bass Explorations 1996 - 2023
For the fifth installment in the There & Back series, I've put together this multi-genre mix that involves lots of crate-digging to join the dots between electro, breaks, UK garage, jungle techno, and bass music. I'm really proud of this mix and hope you enjoy it as well - how often do you find...
-
There & Back 004: April, Techstep B-Sides, Remixes & Album Tracks 1996-1999
For the fourth mix in 2024's There & Back series, I'm exploring the more obscure side of the classic 90's techstep drum n' bass sound, focusing on b-sides, remixes, and album tracks. Luckily for me, this is a very rich vein to mine! Tons of cool tracks featured on this mix ... enjoy! If you liked...
-
There & Back 003: March, Super Rhythm Trax 2014-2023
A little tribute to one of my favorite labels of recent year's, @jeromehill's peerless Super Rhythm Trax! Featuring a whole bunch of retro-flavored chunky, funky, quirky, acid, house and techno. Read more about the mix:...
-
There & Back 002: February, UK Techno 2010-2024
Crate-digging is fun! This is a mix I've done, originally planned for, uh, February, where I've made a mix of UK techno (loosely defined), which covers all angles, which means that the mix starts off pretty stripped-down and minimal, then goes through some chunky modern acid house, then into some...
-
There & Back 001: January, Rolling Drum & Bass 1994-1996
I'm kicking off a new mix series for 2024! Every month I will do a new one hour(ish) mix devoted to some serious crate-digging. For January I'm starting with a rollers special ... enjoy! Read more about the mix here:...
-
One Last Night: An Om Unit Tribute Mix
For my final mix of 2023, here's a special present from me to you - my tribute to my favorite artist of the last decade ... @omunit! I recorded this mix in literally our last night in our old flat in Wilmersdorf before we moved out after ten years - it seemed like a nice bit of synchronicity to...
-
Small Window to Chill [90's Trip-Hop & Downtempo Mix]
If you've been following Sonicrampage for a long time, or even for a short time, you're probably aware that I love fast music! What I haven't typically done in my DJ career has been to make mixes that are more, shall we say, mellow. Let's change that! Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but…
more -
Eurotrash 9 [Old Skool Hard Trance Vinyl Mix]
This is the ninth edition of my long-running Eurotrash series of old skool European hard trance mixes, and it's an absolute banger! This version features some absolutely essential tunes from German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Belgian, and British labels ... plus a cheeky tune from myself! Really...
-
Berlin Underground Bass Alliance Promo Mix [Old Skool Hardcore at Mensch Meier 25-08-2023!]
On the 25th of August 2023 I'll be joining the @parallaxrecordings crew for a sick party at Mensch Meier in Berlin, along with the Subland and Impulse crews. Expect an amazing night! As a promo for the party, I've done some crate-digging to put together this selection of insane old skool…
more -
Half Shelf Dubby Dip 1 [Old Skool Dubstep Vinyl Mix for Begrime]
This is a mix I made in May for the @begrime crew, with a very simple concept: I took out half a shelf of older dubstep records, and made a mix from what I found there! Read more about this mix:...
-
Rinsessions Revisited [Old skool grime vinyl mix for Begrime!]
I think the best ever single grime tape pack / mix release was @rinsefm's amazing Rinsessions Vol. 1, which was released in 2005. A true landmark release, it featured six mixes from some of the scene's leading names, such as Roll Deep, Ruff Sqwad, Slimzee, Plasticman (now known as Plastician)…

Random Order Selection 4 [Begrime 15-03-2023 All-Vinyl Grime Mix]
Random Order Selection is a series I've been doing for @begrime on @subfmradio for a little while, just grabbing a bunch of grime records and improvising my way through them. No plan, just vibes! This is the fourth edition, from mid-March. Enjoy! My other Random Order Selection mixes:...
-
The 90's Sessions Vol. 2: A Chemical Brothers Special
There are few dance acts bigger than @thechemicalbrothers, so putting together a tribute to them is a tall order, no two ways about it. This is my attempt to thread the needle, pulling together a selection of their 90's stuff, from famous singles to album tracks to obscure b-sides to remixes. I...
-
Berlin nach Wien [Deep Dubstep Mix - Perfect for Long Journeys]
This is a mix I recorded last month when traveling from Berlin to Vienna (hence the title); it's a selection of some recent(ish) dubstep tunes that I like. No real theme - I just hit record and improvised! Lots of great tunes on here; the perfect soundtrack to a long journey. Read more about this...
-
The 90's Sessions Vol. 1 [Full-length mix of classic 90's electronic music!]
This is a mix I did quite a while back that I've never put on full on Soundcloud; I previously did only a 30 minute chunk (which I've now set to private). It's a lot of fun! The whole concept was to dig into my cd collection and pull together some tracks from some of the big name dance artists of...
-
City Groove: A Quick Luca Lozano Tribute
One of my favorite producers of recent years is London-born, Berlin-based @lucalozano, a multi-talented producer, dj, designer, label boss, and artist. His tracks show a distinct old skool sensibility (you know, right down my alley), mashing up bleepy house, old skool Detroit techno vibes…
more -
Stranger Beats: A Stranger Tribute [Thumping Modern Techno with an Old Skool Twist]
One of my favorite techno dj/producers is Rotterdam's own @whoisstranger, so I'm really excited to present this tribute mix of his own productions, collaborations, and remixes. Modern techno with a classic twist, all mixed by myself on vinyl. Enjoy! Read more about this mix:...

Butterz is the Sound [Special all Butterz mix for Begrime - 15.06.2022]
For my latest set for @begrime on @subfmradio I've delivered a selection of some of my favorite tunes from the amazing @butterz label (plus a couple extras that weren't released on Butterz, but that are 'spiritually Butterz' IMO). As usual, recorded live in one take on vinyl, with minimal prep....
-
Eurotrash 8 [Old Skool Hard Trance 1995-1999]
Here is the latest edition of my long-running Eurotrash mix series, dedicated to the best of 90's European (and a little UK) hard trance and hard acid. This edition is a little bit more sedate than some of the others, starting at 135 bpm and ending at 150 bpm, but it's still packed full of...
-
Dreaming of Berlin [Free Download at Bandcamp - 90's Style Fast Hard Trance!]
For this Bandcamp Friday I'm re-releasing my 2013 track 'Dreaming of Berlin', which was originally made as I was moving to Berlin. (Almost) 9 years later I'm still loving life here, and wanted to share this one again, as I think it's pretty cool! It's especially appropriate since there's been a...
-
Keysound Recordings Special [Recorded for Begrime 23.03.2022]
This is a mix I dropped last month for @begrime on their @subfmradio show - a special mix up of some tunes from one of London's most interesting labels: @keysound-recordings! This is definitely not a definitive selection from this label, basically it's just a mix of what I own on vinyl, but I…

Rethinking Missed Chances: The Return of Jungle Techno
Here's a mix that I'm really excited to share! This is a selection of modern jungle techno, all mixed on vinyl. The title is a reference to the fact that the brief flowering of jungle techno in the early 90's was a real missed opportunity, as this style of music is just basically awesome -...
