Ever since I saw my first real DJ in the early 90's, I've always been fascinated by how seamlessly two songs could be mixed together.  Sometimes the transition would be good, and sometimes it would sound amazing!  That feeling when the blend is so perfect, it gives you goosebumps.  In this mix, I tried my best to duplicate that feeling 25 times in a row.  

I was digging through my back-catalogue, and chose my favourite Liquid tunes from the past 5 years that I hadn't fit into a mix yet.  Harmonic mixing, long smooth blends, and plenty of double-drops.   Watch the ride!

DJ Surgeon - Doubling Back (Apr 2021)

"It is only after the deepest darkness that the greatest light can come; it is only after extreme grief that the greatest joy can come." -Malcolm X

So much suffering has gone on in the world these past two years, and continues even now. This set was recorded with many mixed emotions, and with hope and expectation that light comes after darkness.

Light After Darkness

Atmospheric Drum & Bass Revival is a Facebook community of circa 2.8k members dedicated to the past, present and future of the Atmospheric Drum & Bass sound championed by the pioneers of the sound LTJ Bukem & Fabio back in the day.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/atmosphericdrumandbass

We decided to start a new mix series to showcase the considerable DJ mixing talent of our community and make the mixes availability to stream and download here on Soundcloud.

Our first mix is from Illesta (aka Michiel van den Berg) from The Hague in The Netherlands.

The mix is with a fine selection of lesser played gems from back in the day tightly mixed completely on 100 % vinyl.

Solid Steel in association with Serato (30th July) DK takes charge of hour 1 and straight in with two hot new tracks from Big Dada. New signing DELS with the excellent 'Shapeshift' (and a great video to match), followed by the grandaddy of UK hip hop, Roots Manuva with at track from his upcoming EP alongside Wrongtom. A nod to Melvin Bliss (RIP) and his well sampled track 'Synthetic substitution', before we up the pace with Flore and Total Science & S.P.Y. Chali 2na hits the button marked dubstep, plus more wobbles from Cakeboy and Toddla T, remixed by Benga. Big Daddy Kane and PE represent the old skool (and a taste of the second hour) and it sounds like Fred Wesley's 'Blow your head' inspired an African version by 'Rob' on the superb Afro-Beat Airways compilation. Mount Kimbie, L VIS 1990, Sepalcure and Bunny on Acid bring the first hour to a lush close.
