Admist a world-wide plague some Dickhead with a Radio Show & a DDJ-RB decides to smash out a couple DnB mixes with some funky tunes as well. "BuT OlLiE yOu HaTe DrUm N bAsS" Yeah, well, too bad karen. While this is true and usually I think most COMMERCIAL DnB is over-played garbage, this mix is an exception because it's got a bit more focus on breaks, I doubt you'd hear any of these on old GeorgeFM ;) Have a Listen!
Oh boy oh geeze, first show down in Level Tres. On this one, good ol' friend of the show Jared asked If he could do a mix & you know what his audio quality wasn't that bad so I said you know what? Go for it champ! And oh god what a mistake that was. His actual mixing was okay but the fact that he played Mackey Gee and I stood by and let it happen is somethig that will haunt me for the rest of my days, listen within....
