Drum’n’Bass

A deeply personal tribute to Ian Miley, aka Blackmass Plastics—an uncompromising underground artist, DJ, and friend. Tracing his life from his teens through rave culture, free parties, Teknivals, and decades of fiercely original music-making, it portrays a restless, curious, and principled figure. Despite severe illness and physical decline, Ian’s creative drive never dimmed, expanding into synthesisers, sculpture, and design. His music—dark, stripped-back, and purposeful—remained rooted in the original rave spirit. He lived and created without compromise: a true underground soldier. Obituary by The Reverend
