A Blue Perspective: <p>

Download 17 Years Of Soulful Drum & Bass (100MB MP3)

Drum & bass is often associated with an aggressive, intensely electronic sound; but its draw for me has always been the promise of drum & bass as the new jazz, the new soul.

Lush melodies, warm synthesizers, intricate beats, double bass and soulful vocals -- these are all the things which I want to hear from my drum & bass. To commemorate a new decade, I decided to look back over my listening history, pick out my favourite soulful drum & bass tracks and put them into a DJ mix.

If you've never listened to (or liked) drum & bass before, give the mix a listen. It's slightly less frenetic than my 139 Mix Tape, but you might be pleasantly surprised. For existing fans of drum & bass, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy 24 tracks spanning 1993 to 2010.
