Bailey drops a Drum & Bass 'History' set live alongside MC Moose going back as far as 1989 to the foundations of Jungle and Drum & Bass

I've been meaning to look back at this mix for some time, ever since I mixed and earlier version live on radio, so here it is, 26 track's selected from the iconic 'Shelflife' series. 

This was not an easy mix to compile, with over 100 tracks to choose from it took me a bit of time to finally come up with the final track selection (room to do a PT2). So I hope you enjoy the mix and that I have given this phenomenal producer and series the love and respect it deserves. 

Please feel free to repost and share, as always it would be much appreciated. 

All links are contained in my Linktree: https://linktr.ee/dj_trademark

Enjoy the mix :-)

Calibre The Shelflife Mix

💞 OUT NOW: “Just Hold You” ft. Daniela Jamal & Colin Hector 🌊🎤
A powerful liquid DNB duet from Instinct Music | A timeless anthem of connection

“Just Hold You” is one of the most emotionally rich tracks I’ve ever released—a liquid drum & bass banger featuring the incredible duet of Daniela Jamal and Colin Hector. Their voices blend beautifully, creating a heartfelt story of longing, closeness, and the simple power of being there for someone.

🎶 Smooth, melodic, and deeply moving, this track is built around one core feeling: the need to hold on to what matters. Daniela and Colin bring soul, vulnerability, and strength to every line, making this one of the most unforgettable collaborations in the Instinct Music collection.

💭 Like all my music, “Just Hold You” is drawn from real life—love, loss, comfort, and the moments that define us. It’s a DNB anthem I hope stays with you long after the final beat.

💖 Thank you to everyone who’s supported me from the beginning. Your love and feedback keep this journey alive. If you’ve downloaded or played my tracks, I’d love to see where they’ve landed—your mixes, your memories, your moments. Tag me, share the vibe, and let’s keep the music flowing 🌍

📲 Follow me on SoundCloud (Instinct Music) for unreleased tracks and early previews. Or wait for the full release on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, and more.

✨ Some tracks are just special. This is “Just Hold You.”

Gears & Rust is the story of a transformation — both sonically and spiritually. The debut album from Leeds-based producer and songwriter S.O.B.A starts in serenity and ends in fire, guiding listeners through a journey of clarity, conflict, and catharsis.

The first half breathes with liquid drum & bass textures, soft harmonies, mellow rap verses, and atmospheric storytelling. Tracks like “Old Pine Woods” and “Southern Moon” feel like morning mist and memory — warm, reflective, and rooted in nature and nostalgia. Here, the lyrics float between moments of love, recovery, and inner peace, woven through vinyl crackle, field recordings, and emotive melodies.

But as the album progresses, the tone shifts. “Babylon Tricks” signals a pivot: the drums hit harder, the message grows sharper, and S.O.B.A’s pen turns militant. From there, Gears & Rust descends into the rave — fusing jump-up chaos, dubstep growls, and layered wordplay that explores addiction, resistance, ambition, and rage. Tracks like “WorkRate” and “Melter Mode” are aggressive and raw — rave weapons with hidden messages coded in rhyme, distorted basslines, and second-drop switch-ups designed to shock and awaken.

By the time the title track “Gears & Rust” lands, the contrast is clear: this album isn’t just about sound — it’s about survival. The gears keep turning, even when the body feels rusted. The soul fights on, even when scarred.

From dusk-lit riversides to smoke-filled basements, Gears & Rust is a sonic diary of a man rebuilding himself — one beat, one bar, one breath at a time.
