The story
For this mix I wanted to showcase some deeper sounds under the 120bpm threshold and then move into more banging territory. I think there are quite a few gangsterish influences in the middle section, with the hip hop, and D&B refixes. Even though I like the attitude and delivery of gangster rap I am usually ambivalent to it's subject matter, as long as a mix isn't satured with it then I think you can read other things into the drug refernces and death threats – musically they are too intersting to ignore. The rest of the mix is just rich with fantastic beats, like the Instra:mental track that blends so well with 'Pence' – killer tribal drums.
