Heatwave - Immediate Sounds (MP3)

Caribbean Rave Music?!?! What's that? Take a cross section of bass-line heavy music (garage, jungle etc.) and remix it up with classic dancehall toasters - BAM! you've got a beachfront Caribb-rave. Gabriel Heatwave 'longside Ben Dubstar have a new party on July 19th - Immediate Sounds @ The Others (Stoke Newington, UK). This mix serves as a sampler of what you can expect to hear. A dope-ass selection of hype vocals & tasty drum patterns.

B Traits - Ruff Mix (MP3)

Recently B Traits did a mix for DnB Arena and it is a scorcher BUT dnb arena doesn't quite get the whole sharing over the web idea and has built their mp3 player so you can't link to it directly. So instead check out this demo mix from this up and coming She-Jay from Vancouver BC (wtf is up with Vancouver DJs runnin' tings?!?) Loads of storming basslines and ruffneck bidness! Been a while since DnB was exciting and B Traits seems to be stirring up the pot. Oh yeah and be sure to peep her MySpace (source link) she's hotter than DJ Rap and got some real crowd moving skills.

Genres: dnb, jungle

DJ DB - The Prettiest Breakbeat (MP3)

For all of you new-jacks who are getting loose with "neu-rave" on your iPizzy. Check out this "OG rave" mix circa 1992 from one of NYC's hardest working DJs - DJ DB. You might have heard of DB from his famed US DnB store Breakbeat Science or from his recent DnB mix CDs. But that is just a small slice of DBs prowess. He has been in the game since WAAAAAY back in the day. And this mixset is a great example of DB's sound back in the NASA days. Unlike most Old School mixes this is not just a collection of 140+ bpm CDs cut mixed together. Witness the sounds behind rave and the birth of drumandbass.

Genres: darkcore, hardcore, jungle, old school, rave

Aaron Spectre - Live in Boston @ Beat Research (MP3)

Aaron Spectre aka Air Inspector aka Drumcorps has been busy lately with new tracks droppin' like rain and a sporty new remix for Math Head. But he is still able to find time to rumble the foundations at some of Boston's finer establishments. He dropped us a note about this recent mix "more on the dance friendly dubstep / jungle side of things.". And true to his word it is a tremendous bassline workout that does not go "too crazy" on the whole breakcore freakout tip.

Genres: bass, breakcore, dubstep, jungle, ragga

DJ Dymond - The Hunger (MP3)

DnB has been bubblin under the surface with some killer cuts going un-noticed due to heads being spent on the whole "Brwaarwrr" monster basslines sound. The liquid funk style has been bringing DnB back to it's roots with some soulful ass grooves. And DJ Dymond is definitely driving the buzz home with this cool ass mix of quality dnb cuts. Remember back in the day when heads would wince when you called it "intelligent"? This is definitely not some shoe-gazing intelligent "Drum and Space" but then again it is not your fist-clenched beer soaked turbo-boy-bassline freak out.

Genres: dnb, jungle, liquid funk
