Drum & Bass Optimal Prime
Stress Factor Podcast Episode #178 - Optimal Prime Guest Mix

This time we were asked to provide a guest mix for the 5 year running DnB podcast series Stress Factor run by DJ B-12 and Scottie B from the US and UK respectively, who are well known for their solid weekly mixes. Our Drum and Bass set follows a very similar vibe to the regular Dub Cutz series and contains just as many tracks and time as usual; however to mix things up a touch we have included a variety of tracks that we've been fond of over the last year. Some of these included will be familiar to the regular listeners of our shows, but we have of course featured some new tracks including a few exclusives too.

Optimal Prime - Yago Dawn is a very new track of ours that gets a sneaky first play in this show and you can expect to hear a techy edgy track with a minimalish sub low drop. In addition to the exclusives, we also feature another new one from Kyrad and personally for us, one of our favourites to date and that is Kyrad - Circumspect (apologies for the misspelling of the name during the show). In addition Drifta is getting a two track ep release (Drifta - Feel the Heat) over on Higher Level Records at the beginning of the Christmas month, but you can take a fresh peek at it now in our November Stress Factor Guestmix. Finally, Naiive has just had his first release on Terabyte records with his amazing two track EP and we include the B side "Naiive - Lost Within" later in the set.

Another shout to point out is that Bluewire - Windswept appeared a while back in our older shows and is currently free to download, as is Xanadu & Modu - Ghost in the Machine, both excellent tracks indeed. We hope you enjoy the show and expect to hear from us with another new Dub Cutz show very soon.
