Law - All Source Direct Mix

Witness one of the meanest crews, Rupture London's DJ Mantra and Double O, taking over this episode of Bass Music.

Mantra and Double O have both been consistently sharing their artistic vision within drum&bass and jungle scenes for many years, and since their first forays in Shoreditch in the early 2000s, the name Rupture has blossomed into one of the most revered names in jungle music.
