The latest edition of my radio show, The Blackdub Sessions, on Sub FM. This month I started off a little differently after finding a folder of 140 beats on my computer. Half an hour of that and half an hour of rolling Drum & Bass. For the second hour I invited Belgian rollout technician, M-zine to put a guest mix together and he didn't disappoint. Enjoy the show!

My opinion from everything I’ve learned about Fixer is as follows: this title already fits your clean, conceptual daily drop style and is strong enough to stand alone, but final polish will come from cohesive metadata and artwork.
