Flashback : M Beat

I meant to do this post a month ago and could not get all the things I wanted into it. With that in mind, these are great tracks and they need to be relived. 


M Beat ft. General Levy - Incredible





M Beat ft. Nazlyn - Sweet Love






M Beat ft. Jamiroquai - Do You Know Where You're Coming From

Flashback: High Contrast

Yes. Yes. And Yes... this is a hot track. High Contrasts' "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vidda" from 2007's Tough Guys Don't  Dance,  is a classic. Few can deny the feel behind this track. It is one that makes you move... even if it is just one finger. It is the first track I ever heard from the artist and soon after I got the album. I have yet to come across a track by High Contrast that I do not like. So, here it is, the track that started it off (for me at least). Enjoy!

Flashback : Un-Cut "Midnight"

2003 -- This is classic. The trio known as Un-Cut (Jenna G , 2D, Darren) helped shape the sound of drum and bass vocally and this is one of those tracks known for it. I love how Jenna sings on this. The beat? It is definitely one that makes you bob your head. Get ready to play this one a few times over and over.

Something For Your Ears - Metasyn

Metasyn is a collaboration from (The Queen of Drum 'N Bass) DJ Rap and newcomer Chemical Hero. The band fuses rock with drum 'n bass into something refreshing. Any fan of DJ Rap is sure to love this venture as well. Here is the video for the first (and much anticipated) single, "Back To Life."

Revisited.... (Videos) Burial And Photek

The names Burial and Photek are well known in some dnb and dubstep circles. If you don't know them by now allow me to introduce you to two of my favorite tracks.



Burial - Archangel

The first time I heard this track I was amazed. I listened to it over and over and over and it became a ritual to listen to it several times everyday. There is something beautiful lying deep within this stripped-down track. Nothing in it is overdone. It is sheer perfection to my ears.








Photek - Ni Ten Ichi Ryu

This drum and bass track is one of my favorites. It gives a great vibe... perfect for when you want to just get up and dance or just relax and nod your head. A definite recommendation for any mix you want to put together.







I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. For more information on these artists please check out:
