# Techstep

Techstep is a dark subgenre of drum and bass that was created in the mid-1990s.

## Style

It is characterized by a dark, sci-fi mood, near-exclusive use of synthesised or sampled sound sources, 2-step kicks and snares and influences from industrial and techno music, what some writers have described as a "clinical" sound. Although described as having a "techy" feel, techstep's relationship with techno should not be overstated. It shares the technique of creating a high-energy collage from abstract, synthetic noises, including samples, bleeps and squelches: it rarely uses instruments that have not been processed by effects. Similarly, quantized drum-machine kit and percussion sounds are favored over naturalistic human breakbeats. However, it usually adheres to drum and bass norms in other regards, especially in terms of musical structure, with the emphasis on the "drop". Techstep saw jungle music's obsession with bass change, from aiming for low and deep to exploring timbre, artists aiming to outdo each other with ever more distorted and "twisted" bass sounds.

## History

Techstep developed from jungle music and hardstep around 1995. The name of the genre was coined by Ed Rush and Trace, who were both instrumental in shaping the sound of techstep. In this case, "tech" did not refer to the smoother style of Detroit techno, but to the raver, more caustic hardcore sounds that were popular in Belgium in the earlier part of the decade, often known as Belgian techno. Techstep was a reaction to the appearance of more pop and virtuosic musical elements on jungle and drum 'n' bass tracks, which were seen as an adulteration of "true" or "original" jungle. Instead the genre was infused with a simpler, colder sound that stripped away most R&B elements, and replaced them with a more hardcore sound, and ideological influences like dystopian films like Blade Runner and RoboCop. One of the first incarnations of the techstep sound is DJ Trace's remix of T-Power's "Mutant Jazz" which appeared on S.O.U.R. Recordings in 1995. This remix, co-produced by Ed Rush and Nico, features the trademark stepping beats and distorted Reese bassline which would become symbolic of the techstep genre. The Torque compilation (No U Turn), the Techsteppin' compilation (Emotif), Breakage LP (Penny Black 1997), and Platinum Breakz 1, 2, and MDZ 01 (Metalheadz) feature some selections of techstep tracks.
Some of the original techstep producers eventually developed the neurofunk style. These included early pioneers Ed Rush and Optical. Artists such as Teebee and Noisia further developed the Neurofunk sound. Moving Shadow and Metalheadz were important labels in the development of the style.

# Josina Z. Machel

Josina Ziyaya Machel (April 1976) is a human rights activist from Mozambique, who was listed on the BBC's 100 Women list for 2020. Her parents were Samora Machel, the first independent president of Mozambique, and humanitarian and politician Graça Machel (née Simbine); her step-father was Nelson Mandela. Machel founded the Kuhluka Movement which aims to end the stigma of domestic violence and support its survivors.

## Early life

Machel was born in Maputo in April 1976. She is the daughter of former Mozambican President Samora Machel and Mozambican politician and social activist Graça Machel, who later married South African politician Nelson Mandela. Her father had chosen the name of his first wife, the feminist activist Josina Machel, as a tribute to her. Machel's father died in a plane crash, which some consider to have been murder, when she was 10 years old. After her mother and Nelson Mandela began a relationship, Machel moved to South Africa and, following their marriage, became Mandela's stepdaughter.
Machel studied Sociology and Political Science at the University of Cape Town, then studied for an MSc from the London School of Economics, in the same discipline. Her MSc dissertation was entitled 'AIDS: Disease of Poverty or Patriarchy’. One output of her research was the publication of the article 'Unsafe sexual behaviour among schoolgirls in Mozambique: a matter of gender and class', which was published in the journal Reproductive Health Matters.

## Activism

In October 2015, her then partner Rofino Licuco, a Mozambican businessman, assaulted her so severely that one of her eyes had to be removed. At the time of the assault, Machel was threatened and intimidated by men connected to Licuco, as well as receiving threatening phone calls from Licuco himself. Despite this, in August 2020 the Court of Appeal in Mozambique overturned the guilty verdict against Licuco, on the grounds that there were no eyewitnesses. As of December 2020, Machel was yet to receive justice.
As a survivor of domestic abuse, Machel has turned her personal trauma into a collective struggle, by founding the Kuhluka Movement, which in txopi (one of the languages in Mozambique) means Reborn. The organisation aims to challenge gender-based violence in South Africa and provide safe spaces for survivors of domestic violence there.
She is also the co-founder of the insurance company Protect Her-Life which provides emergency help for women, through its insurance and emergency health packages.
Additionally, Machel is a trustee of the Graça Machel Trust. She is a director of the Samora Machel Documentation Centre. She has also worked for the ABC Atlas Mara in Mozambique and other international organizations, including the Emerald Group, and the Zizile Institute for Child Development.

## Awards and honours

Machel has been nominated for several awards and honours, including:
* "Trailblazer Award", awarded by American SOHO (Saving Orphans through Healthcare and Outreach) in 2016.
* Inaugural member of the Mama Albertina Sisulu 100 Women of Fortitude Group.
* 100 Women List, chosen by the BBC and published on 23 November 2020.

# Jock Aird

John Rae Aird (18 December 1926 – 14 June 2021) was a footballer who played for both the Scotland and New Zealand national sides.

## Life and career

Born in Glencraig, Fife, Aird started his professional career with Burnley, whom he joined from Perth junior side Jeanfield Swifts in 1948.
A feisty but consistent left-back, he earned international recognition towards the end of his seven-season spell at Turf Moor, making his Scotland debut against Norway in May 1954, at the age of 28. He was then selected in the squad for the upcoming World Cup finals and was one of only 13 players who actually travelled to Switzerland, the SFA opting not to use the full complement of 22 permitted. He played in both matches at the finals as Scotland capitulated in the first round, losing to Austria (1–0) and Uruguay (7–0).
The following year, Aird left Burnley and emigrated to Gisborne in New Zealand. There he played for Eastern Union FC, eventually earning selection for the national side. Aird played two full internationals for New Zealand in the space of a week in 1958, both matches against Australia, with him scoring for New Zealand in a 3–2 defeat in the first game, and then scoring an own goal in a 2–2 draw a week later.
He then moved to Australia in 1959, playing for and latterly coaching Sydney Hakoah.
Aird returned briefly to Gisborne in 1960 from Sydney and played in non-competitive matches for Eastern Union. Unable to get a clearance from FIFA to transfer back to Eastern Union, Aird then took a renewed contract from Sydney Hakoah in January 1961, in which he was offered £15/week as a part-time player, £6/week as coach, further employment opportunities, fares for his family back to Sydney, and a retainer of £5/week in the off-season.
Jock Aird died in June 2021 at the age of 94.

He then worked for Egyptian Public Works, for Verrucci's successor Moustafa Fahmy, and with Antonio Lasciac on projects that included interior design, mansions, apartment buildings and mausoleums for a wealthy clientele.
In 1929, despite being a Catholic, he won the competition to become the Chief Architect of the Waqf Administration. In this capacity, he designed a number of mosques and religious building between 1929 and 1941, most prominently in Alexandria. He also worked on the restoration of older monuments, including the Mosque of Muhammad Ali and the Al-Rifa'i Mosque in Cairo.
Like thousands of other Italian Egyptians, he was dismissed and expropriated during World War II at the initiative of the British authorities, and interned between 1941 and 1944 at Camp Fayed in the Suez Canal Zone. In 1946 he converted to Islam, and in that period again worked for the Waqf Administration, now as an external consultant. He also designed the Islamic Center of Washington. From 1954 to 1960 he worked in Saudi Arabia on the decoration of the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. He died in Cairo in 1961.
