LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT MY G

For the next edition of the AWK cast we have Berlin-based artist ZE:NA serving up a fresh blend of UK flavours. Effortlessly oscillating between dubstep, grime, 2step, ukg and more, this mix will certainly lift your spirits, even on the rainiest of summer days!

Remember ZE:NA's name as she's sure bound to make some more big waves in the local scene soon.

Also, don't forget to check out one of her recently founded Rise nights, raising money for Rise Foundation e.V, a local Homeless Support Charity.

🦈 The shark is back — CounterStrain style.

A wild fusion of 90s merengue-house energy and modern underground bass, this edit of Proyecto Uno’s “El Tiburón” flips the classic into a neon-lit beach rave.

Expect tropical synths, VHS grit, and club-floor bite — built for dancers who remember the old school but live in the future. 🌴💽

🎛️ Remixed, reimagined, and reloaded by CounterStrain.

My CD was wearing out, so I decided to upload it to the only music provider I use. I do not own any right over the uploaded tracks. If you do not want these tracks to be publicly available (which is a shame because they're really good), then please, drop me a line at adubsteplover@gmail.com, and I will make the playlist private. Thank you.

Apparently, my CD album was one of the first 100 copies, so it's missing track 8 (Benny Ill vs DJ Hatcha - Highland Spring [Tempa.]).
