Atlas & K Super - Upfront Selection | Certain Sounds 2nd Birthday Mix Drop

When we thought about adding a Drumfunk set to this mix drop only one man sprung to mind, Manchester's very own Earl Grey.

The producer/dj has spent the last few years gracing the scene with his recognisable funked up and laid back style of Jungle and Drum and Bass, with 
releases on labels such as Inperspective and Hypercharger to name few. 2020 saw the release of highly regarded HY CH AD which features the track 'Blue Rhythm', the opening tune of this mix and a perfect start for our Drumfunk feature mix.

He became a firm favorite among the Certain Sounds crew after playing at our Certain Sounds x FNR event in summer of 2019 stepping in for Artilect and smashing out a set not to far from the vibes what he's dropped for us today.

A quality ending to our mix drop from one of the North's finest dj's & producers!
