The first important thing to note about this mini mix is that it loops back into itself... It essentially begins where it ends. The loop also represents how all music comes round in cycles.
Drum and bass is a real tour de force at the moment and everyone across the dance music spectrum is feeling its presence. It’s heavily infiltrating the charts, creating its own narratives on social media and leading the way for a lot of progressive new sounds within dance music. I strongly believe dance music is all one family and I wanted to show that in this mini mix, starting at present day, it will show you where D&B comes from and serve as a mini history lesson.
* This is by no means a fully comprehensive list, as there are so many tracks I could have included! But 5 mins is the challenge, so enjoy!*
