Drum & Bass Sessions - Your Mother's Favorite Dj's Favorite Dj

I've been injured all week, so I haven't been able to do much.  I thought I would work out some sets and listen to some new tracks...

So here's one.  It's not my usual slap-chop mixing style, if that's your thing.  Comment, like, share, but most importantly-  ENJOY.

Big ups to @danwhitdan for his Mirror in the Bathroom flip- fucking epic.  @jaycutofficial for the Geradeaus remix- sick. @dunkdnb & @blackoppsdnb for their new EP which is slamming!!!  And last but not least, @veak for his DOPE AF Ghostface Killah remix which leads this mix off.  👊🏼🫡

D&BS - Oi Oi, What's That in Your Knickers?

Midas Touch presents KINGS VIII - Dunk & Black Opps

D&BS - Daft Cunts BassWork

D&BS - Magnetic Resonance Imaging Error

So I'll throw this out on to the Internet for fun...

The mix is just bits and bobs that I took off SoundCloud.  Nothing fancy.  There is one terrible, inexcusable transition- it's really unforgivable, and some bangers, and low-key bangers- all mixed with love in the name of good fun.

Enjoy the weekend.

D&BS - Stupid People Breeding

Need for Mirrors makes trough tracks - his words.  Regardless of what he calls them, they bang in their own, special way.  Not too much energy, but not chill at all.  He releases music at a prolific rate- this is but a drop in the bucket.  He is wickedly consistent and I've yet to hear anything but quality from him.  Granted, my mixing probably doesn't do his music justice, but I tried.  🙃

Check him out @needformirrors as he's also a label owner.

While this is a mix that focuses on Mirrors, it's bookended with some tracks from Codename John/Grooverider.  😯

Big ups for listening.  Please comment, share, and enjoy!

Drum & Bass Sessions S04E07 - The Need for Mirrors

Sinister.  Heavy.  Fierce.

pa has releases on many labels, though this mix focuses mostly on his Grid output.  He puts out dance floor bombs that still retain their darkness.  But, a lot of his productions carefully balance lighter elements and sounds against his clinical and crisp sound design.  Most importantly- THEY ALL SLAP HARD.
 
Big ups to @pamuzik-1 for all the records.  Be sure to check out his artist page for new releases and downloads.

Tracks include:  
Remember Me
No Seeds
Final Love
Mouth Almighty - my personal favorite
Minimal Man
Annabelle
Dragon Fist VIP
Watchers
Friends
Infection
Dragon Town
Addicted to Love
Ready
Ghost Town
Attitudes
Now Selecta
Merky Water
Set It
Japanese Fist
Fight My Uncle
Bounce
Cyanide
Monkey Style
LSD

Thank you for listening.  Please feel free to comment, share, or critique.  Most importantly- Enjoy.

EKKAH - SUMMER MIXTAPE

"Rupture are proud to present the debut album from Double O entitled 'Firm Meditation'.

Co-founder of Rupture alongside Mantra, Double O has long been an understated pillar of the crew. After a prolific run of singles, EPs, remixes and Lost Tape releases, the time has come for his first LP.

The album has formed organically; built with honesty and passion - not for money, validation or from any time pressure, but as an illustration of who he is and what he does. Double O approaches creativity straight from the heart and the studio is more than just a daily retreat for him; its been a routine, a necessity and a firm meditation since the early 90s.

Deeply rooted in his history and culture, influences in dub, techno and hardcore are felt throughout. Double O is revered highly amongst the Rupture crew, but he remains humble, true and has returned this respect straight back into his music, to create a body of work that’s spiritual and straight from the soul"

He creates dark, deep, pristine minimal-funk...

It's the one and only DUNK.

Dunk is a prolific producer with bangers on labels such as Dispatch, Encrypted Sound, Pick the Lock, C.I.A., Grid, and V Recordings.  While not producing as 1/2 of the Jam Thieves duo, Dunk has honed and mastered his own signature style that many imitate, but few can pull off.

I am thankful that I have so many top-notch tracks to choose from- there's almost too many.  So, part 2 will be coming along shortly.

You can grab a free track, 'NERD' over here---> https://soundcloud.com/dnbspread/dunk-nerd-free-download

D&BS - Hello Dark E10 - Dunk Pt.1

This man needs no introduction. He's been producing cutting edge drum & bass since the 1990's.  Current Value has releases on most major dnb labels as well as a fantastic remix that he did for Bjork.  The man is epic as are his productions.

His bass lines are utter insanity- dark, twisting, and ever-evolving ear worms.

Check the man out here @tim-e-aka-current-value

New Best RNB 2025 Mix & Hip Hop Club R&B Songs Party Mix 2025

I love drum&bass...  But my first and forever love is Chicago house.  I love it all.  Well, not all- no country or trance.  Apologies.
Let me hear the weird shit...
I couldn't do this without all of the amazing people making music for me to play for fun...  Your talents are appreciated.  I'm not a pro...  I just play music for fun so that I have something to listen to.  Maybe you like a mix.  Maybe not.  Keep listening and the odds are that one will hit with you.  I know there is SO MUCH CONTENT on here and other sites, so the fact that you stopped here, read this, or listened to part of a mix means a lot.  I don't want to play out.  I just want to rock your headphones to get you through a rough day, a workout, a commute- whatever it is you need.
Thank you to the listeners, the commenters, and the sharers...  Much love.
Cheers.
