Had a quiet day off work, so I decided to put a little Dubstep/Drum & Bass mix together. Some brand new bits, some old skool classics and some tracks that you may have missed out on. Listen/download below and find the tracklist after the jump. Hope you all enjoy.
Over the past couple months Professor Green has let go of four massive tracks from his upcoming sophmore album, At Your Incovenience, but after having had the album for a few days now I can safely say that it is without doubt one of the most solid and well-rounded releases of 2011. I've always been a huge fan of Pro, ever since the Jump Off days, but Alive Till I'm Dead was a rather underwhelming listen considering his lyrical prowess on the mic. However, AYI sees the Hackney-born rapper at his very best, effortlessly finding a happy medium between tongue-in-cheek musings and dark/thoughtful tracks, which is backed perfectly by the ecletic selection of producers that has drafted in. Below are two of my favourite tracks from the album - How Many Moons is a huge Dubstep number produced by Hospitality signed duo Camo & Krooked and Trouble is a laid-back Jungle influenced track, which is produced by TMS and features singer/songwriter Luciana, who was made famous through Bodyrox back in 2006. An amazing album from an incredibly talented and hard working artist, which you can pick up on October 31st HERE. Time to listen again...
BOOM! Here is Drum & Bass legend Cyantific's monstrous remix of the second single to be taken from Emeli Sandé's forthcoming debut album, Our Version Of Events. Pre-order the EP for Daddy HERE and pre-order the album HERE. One of the biggest talents out there right now.
Here is the incredible Drum & Bass remix of Rizzle Kick's second single from their forthcoming debut album, Stereo Typical, which comes courtesy of Mark System. You can pick up this, the original and a remix from Sonic Eclipse HERE. Big tune.
Using a sample from one of my favourite Wu-Tang Clan tracks, here is a massive Drum & Bass grinder, which is available on Mr Alf E's new EP, Wu-Tang. Pick up your copy HERE - must have.
As part of Jaguar Skill's incredible takeover show on Radio 1 last night; DJ Wire, best known for being Example's tour DJ and the label manager of MTA Records (Chase & Status), dropped a monstrous 10 minute mix, which included a few of his favourite tracks at the minute, some fresh MTA material and even a new track of his own. You can listen/download the mix below, listen to the whole show HERE and find DJ Wire on Twitter HERE. One of the best DJs in the world.
A lovely new Drum & Bass mix from Bedfordshire-based Greg Douglas. Mixing could do with a bit of touching up in a few places, but the majority of it is very tight and the tracklist is flawless. Listen/download in the SoundCloud player below, catch the tracklist after the jump and follow him on Twitter HERE. You would be silly to not want this on your iPod.
Here is a snippet of the monstrous Wilkinson remix of Midnight Run, which is set to be the third single from Example's number one album, Playing In The Shadows. Out soon on Ministry Of Sound, the official EP will include remixes from Wideboys, Funkagenda, Sheldrake, Flux Pavilion and this Drum & Bass beauty. Buy tickets for his April 2012 Arena tour HERE.
Released today on Hospital Records, here is the title track and one of my favourite tracks from Camo & Krooked's highly anticipated sophmore album, Cross The Line. Over the past few years the Austrian duo have created their own unique sound, built up a huge reputation as one of the most forward thinking acts in Drum & Bass and gained a very loyal fanbase along the way - this album is another step in the right direction. Get your copy HERE.
Available on October 16th, here is an incredibly smooth and laid back Drum & Bass remix of T.E.E.D's stunning new single, Garden. Was massively disappointed with his live show at Wakestock, but I'm still a huge fan of his production, and when you get a D&B legend on one of the remixes, you know it's going to be a bit special. Pre-order the EP HERE, and check out Jesse Rose's remix HERE. Orlando Higginbottom knows his music.
