DJ DB Presents Shades Of Technology: A Drum And Bass Journey

DJ DB Presents Shades Of Technology: A Drum And Bass Journey

DJ DB, the founder of Breakbeat Science (the first all-jungle record store in America) is a big proponent of accessible jungle. On this mix CD for his own F1-11 label, you can hear DB s attempt to push jungle up from the underground. Straying from the more popular and purist hard-edged tech step styles, DB mixes in tracks with vocals, some jump-up (definitely considered not cool by junglists), and even--gasp--melody. Don t think this means there s a lot of fluff. From the dark, moody opener, Exocet s Demon Seed, to the tough beats of Krust s dynamite hit Warhead from 1998, this is jungle at its best--with all genres sharing center stage and mixed with flawless precision. --Tricia Romano SKU : ADIB00000I4FI
