A prolific & singular figure in jungle & drum and bass, Dillinja produced a body of work in the 1990s and 2000s that set a high water mark for club production finesse. Even now, most top producers in the genre are sure to have some secret weapon samples titled "Dillinja bass". DJ Persuasion and Dev/Null pull together two hours of his finest tracks, including anthems, rarities, well worn favourites and unreleased dubs on this In Focus.

Hugh EMC has been played on NTS shows including City Rhythms w/ Mack, with H-Nigga Groove first played on 4 October 2017.

HUGH-EMC In 1988 underground Hip-Hop artist Hugh-EMC hooked up with one of the Bay Area's most popular DJs, "Scratch Master T (now known as DJ-X1) and formed the group Hugh-EMC and DJ Rock. They released the now classing single, "Its the Game", helping to create what would become the "Frisco" sound. In 1989 the duo released the EP (Extended Play) "Pimp Style". This four song EP was recorded with one of Too Short's original producers, the highly talented Al Eaton. Selling over 4,000 copies, Hugh-E parlayed this success into a project that he will forever be identified with - The "Gangsta-Knowledge" EP… All songs from this EP are considered classic's but the song "H-Nigga's Grove" better known as "Keep a Bitch Broke" is a Bay Area Anthem. This song has remained popular ever since and can still be heard on commercial Radio stations such as KMEL and of course on 89.5FM KPOO where Hugh-EMC has a weekly Hip-Hop show every Saturday from 7pm to 10pm. Hugh has been deep in the game and is an original member of the infamous "Outta Control Fillmoe" Gang. Hugh once a drug dealer and gang banger, now uses his underworld back ground and street connections to work with youth and the homeless population in San Francisco. Recently reunited with DJ-X1 the long awaited release of The” BAY AREA ORIGINATORZ” was received with rave reviews by the streets, critics and the underground Hip-Hop heads. Still sticking to his “Gangsta-Scientist” philosophy the album is filled with gritty street stories coupled with words of wisdom and uplifting knowledge. Hugh EMC is currently working on his “The Hip-Hop Manifesto” lp. “The Hip-Hop Manifesto is an album filled with anger and angst. It is an album filled with vocal protest against corrupt policing, corrupt politicians and the racial injustice suffered in America. On “The Hip-Hop Manifesto” Hugh-EMC also speaks about his issues with mental health and how mental health issues affect the inner city. Hugh-EMC is using this current project to spear head his “Hip-Hop Manifesto Movement” were he is asking all Hip-Hop artist from all genres to make a pledge to make more conscious music and to become more involved in their communities. With this level of passion and intensity Hugh-EMC promises to be even more prolific in the coming years.
