Drum & Bass 1992
1992 - 050511 Mia Cinco De Mayo Essay (320kbps)

I don't always listen to Drum and Bass. But when I do, I listen to myself.

Stay 'Ardkore my friends.

This was the first mix I made with my Xone 92 mixer and new turntables. I have a rule for myself with this mixer... Never use the effects in sets pre 1996 because no one used wanky effects before that time. Since this one is 2000-2003 DnB effects happen to work well. Mind you, I don't go overboard with them like a certain famous DJ did on a certain famous label's mix CD.

It's Cinco De Mayo today so its time to share it again with the internet. Its not bad, I really like these tunes. Well, I must because I bought them when they came out by going to the local jungle store every week.

All tracks played from Vinyl unless noted.

It looks like I have a hard time making a DnB set without Dylan's Ghetto Dub and Digital's K2. I sware those are the two best DnB tunes from the 2000s. One tune is an original 93-style 'ardkore tune in modern times, and the other is a mashup of World Dominance's Compression and DJB & EZM's Shockin to the Break of Dawn. It doesn't get much better with modern dnb...
