Drum and Bass mix

It's been quite a while since I last posted up a mix, although I have been getting a bit of practice in nonetheless. So here's a new drum and bass mix, to celebrate British Summer Time!

The tracks selected are all several years old, but don't expect to hear many 'classics'. This selection represents a selection of my favourite tracks which seemed to be off the radar of top DJs.

Will hopefully appeal to fans of the darker side of drum and bass. Feel free to comment…

Oldskool jungle tracks

Here are a few oldskool jungle tracks I've written several years ago. Seemed about time to put them up in a podcast, as they weren't very prominently linked to before. Have been meaning to do this for a while, and if time allows more could I find time I might dig some more out.

These were all written using 8-bit breakbeat samples I created on the Atari ST using Mastersound. These were chopped up into tiny pieces, then sequenced using Fast Tracker 2 on the PC. Now turned into MP3z using XMPlay and Lame for your listening pleasure! Enjoy.

Darkside Drum & Bass mix

I did this mix a while ago now, but haven't had chance to upload it as I'm currently without an internet connection at home! The mix starts off with some techy stuff and winds down with some old classics.

Saturday afternoon Junglism

I found some great old school CDs in Shipley's charity shops (they have a few), but nothing I didn't already have. This is either frustrating or reassuring, depending on how I look at it. I walked back and did a jungle mix, got a bit excited in the process and went a bit crazy on the high speed Amen breaks. Had to calm it down a bit towards the end!

New Year's Rave Mix

What better way to kick off the New Year than another mix of classic rave. Bringing things up to date there's even a couple of 1992 tracks this time! It was difficult to resist the temptation to play L.A. Style's "James Brown is Dead", to balance things up you also get "James Brown is Still Alive" from Holy Noise.

Much needed remixing and MP3 tagging
I've remixed a couple of tracks here, tweaked the graphical equalizer and added some reverb etc. I even managed to persuade XMPlay to repeat properly with a fade out too. This sounds so much better than the defaults, so I'll be sure to give similar treatment to the other XM files. I even put on ID3 tags too, but had trouble picking a genre; so Christian Gangster Rap it is!

Jungle Mix
This mix session is basically old school jungle, with tracks by Remarc, DJ Trace, Ray Keith etc. There's no shortage of tearing "Amen" tracks, some ragga influenced others just plain dark.
