I've had a renewed interest in dnb recently, in part due to the rise of the 'autonomic' sound thanks to dBridge and Instra:mental, as well as other more stripped back, dub-wise tunes from the likes of Calibre (whose recent dubstep output is excellent) and Rockwell (whose forthcoming release on Critical with Untold is sounding fresh). Southampton has had a great 12 months of dnb, with nights like Raygun Youth, Release, and Wax bringing some incredible fresh sounds to the city.
A DJ Competition at the last Release served as a good excuse to delve deeper into the scene, so here's a 40 minute mix featuring most of the tunes I played at that night as well as some others.
Big up all the organisers, judges, djs, and dancers! Big night.
