Back to the old skool... back to your roots...
Well this might not be quite back to the old school but it's definitely a trip down memory lane. I recently came across an old drum'n'bass mix from the days when I lived, ate and breathed at 170bpm. With my partner in crime Phibre we dreamt of taking over the world armed with a killer snare and a junglist vibe. While our visions of grandeur were somewhat hijacked by Pendulum, their hybrid guitar'n'bass'n'crap sound and a maturation of our sonic palette, quality D'n'B is always guaranteed to get my feet steppin' and the fist a'pumping.
This here is a mix I did back in 2004 on a pair of crappy 1200s and a jaded Nu-Mark mixer. Starts off with a bit of a reggae vibe that slides nicely into some tunes from the golden era of jungle only to be shattered by some hard crunching sounds towards the end (not quite Speaker Wrath hard but tough enough for me). The mixing's not too tight and the sound quality is a bit scratchy but I think it'll go nicely in the car stereo or as a soundtrack for a long run...
btw if you're wondering where mixes # 1-3 are... so am I. Who knows - maybe they'll show up sometime soon...
