Easy all crew,

We've been busy stockpiling the music vaults at the MOB camp and felt it was time to showcase some of the forthcoming releases from the label.

Inspired by top selectors such as @selectabwoy @alegriaabada - @sekldnb wanted to plan a well constructed and enjoyable mix covering the full spectrum breakbeat drum and bass.

@sekldnb "I've gone in on this mix from the start - For the intro I rebuilt Blowfly - Sesame Street without the vocal at 121BPM and transitioned the tempo up to 170BPM whilst reconstructing one of my forthcoming tracks from the source break, you won't hear another mix like this."
