Ok I won’t lie this weeks show was pretty darn good if I do say so myself. It has everything I like in a mix with the added benefit of not having had any errant mixes rear their ugly head. Anyways. As with everything there’s always an ebb and flow and I feel like this is a good representation of how my style has morphed over the past six month while still holding on to some stuff I’ve really loved from the past. Enjoy.
Oh and the absolute star of this show is without a doubt Quest – Wind Tunnel. This is NOT a tune to sleep on.

Yay we’re all caught up.
This is my latest studio mix and I’m really happy with how it turned out. It has everything I want out of a mix. Smooth transitions, peaks, valleys and heavy heavy sub bass. This is all a testament to the quality of music that’s being released right now. DJG is doing amazing things, Headhunter also killing it, and of course Scuba is on fire as always. In the ocean of really shit music that gets released under the dubstep banner it’s a nice feeling to go through my crate and see so many amazing plates.
Enjoy.

Alright now we’re talking. I recorded this in late summer last year when I really figured out where I wanted to go style-wise. Very heavy on the tech-y stuff throughout and going in to some more reggae stuff at the end. I’ll go ahead and admit it though, the last few mixes are somewhat non-effort. Not bad, just not exciting.

This was recorded a few months after 1.1, somewhere around March of ‘09. I still really like this mix quite a bit. Good variety of tunes but I don’t know why I dropped that Subscape tune at the end. Anyways still totally worth a listen.
