Show 'Nuff
(Originally uploaded September 2004)
Having company on a Friday night can be somewhat more tiring than it seemed a few years back, but this selection of tunes took care of clearing away those cobwebs… Said company prompted a trip down drum’n‘bass lane. The mix starts in a dense sea of beats which could leave some gasping for air with Dillinja featuring heavily (literally) but ends altogether more sanely on the softer side of d’n‘b.
My purchasing of drum’n‘bass has weaned of late but I do still pick up the occasional twelve and lots of mix cds but I don’t have my ear as close to the ground as back in the 90s. A favourite here is Roni Size’s Fashion on V Recordings. He’s someone I have seen at numerous gigs and events over the years and have chatted to on a few occasions. I’d like to see him and the other Full Cycle team on their home turf as I’ve heard Bristol has a vibe to experience… Grooverider’s mix of his Share The Fall was a favourite when I was staying in a flat-share in Crouch End. The neighbours used to get so annoyed with our constant drunken antics that on a Sunday morning, they would turn their speakers to face my flat-mates wall and play the Sunday prayer services at a high volume, knowing that we were hungover because of the noise we’d made the night before. Shocking behaviour on our behalf really. You can’t beat a good dance at a drum’n‘bass night and I look forward to wherever my next one may be… Show tracklisting.
