If you love drum and bass, I can't think of anywhere else in North America that holds it down so proper for the junglists. Toronto rules. I'll start promoting WEMF when the lineup gets released, it's the annual 3 day festival, if anyone from across the boarder or anywhere within driving distance of Southern Ontario (big place, I know lol) and not tooooooo far away are interested in coming. We're also having the second annual Canada Day festival again this year. Instead of spamming posters and promo, I'll just link
Digital Dreams here. Last year there was a surprise dnb stage. Funny story. London Elektricity was billed for a few days prior, and we were confused as to why the flyers hadn't been printed, and meanwhile we're promoting DD at house parties, and when we didn't promote it at Loadstar, we got yelled at, but we were confused as to why they wanted deep house and trance promoted at a pure dnb party? Well yeah, that surprise Bass Stage was added to the bill and the PROMOTERS WEREN'T TOLD ABOUT IT lol.
It's been a while since I posted actual music.
Free liquid vibe. I actually really appreciate Alicia Keys as a musician; albeit I'm unfamiliar with all of her material (maybe I just think she's hot lol), so I was curious as to how this would sound, and it's pretty nice. Entirely unfamiliar with Friske too, so it was a nice surprise.

So a few pages back I was being a whiny baby about iTunes selling me 256AAC files when I wanted 320mp3, or at least to be
offered ALAC. One of my arguments as to why I wasn't going to bother converting it to mp3, even just to play the tracks on Traktor (my main reason for being miffed is aac sin't supported by Traktor) was because it didn't make any logical sense to me how the quality could be the same, if the bitrate was going higher, and the file wouldn't. So anyways, if this hasn't confused you so far, this track Visitation in 256aac is 11.8MB, and after iTunes conversion, it's 13.9MB in 320mp3. So, not that I know how it works, but to my insufficient knowledge of what compression is, it's almost as if AAC is like a zipfile of sorts, and can be unzipped into a larger package (heh). Colour me surprised. Looks like I'll be going back to iTunes for cheap releases, and just convert them to 320. I'm not afraid anymore.
I am so ready for you iTunes.
Hazard is bodmon as always. This one's been in the circuit for almost a year with no release date in site. Speculation is it'll be on a four track Hazard EP forthcoming, or on a Critical release. Kasra's been playing it out a lot, this clip is from Fabriclive 65, which was mixed by Hazard himself. Bodmon mix btw:
And this one I heard 'for the first time' with my M-100/BH combo; the details that I've never heard before are incredible
All this variety is exactly why I love drum and bass.
