17 Years Of Soulful Drum & Bass
11 January 2010
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.

Quality of sound is great; I am not familiar with this genre, but it seems ideal to play while working on the Web. Thanks

Some of those tunes are epic! I'm not a massive fan of drum & bass but I don't mind their clubnights though!

Saw Bukem and Conrad play just 2 nights ago in Brisbane. Great set by the boys and had the place rocking. I'll be sure to check your mix out when I get home from work.

Really enjoying the mix, Cameron. Drum & Bass is among the best music to work to, for me. This mix in particular feels like it will be good for early morning work.

This kind of music is exactly what I like to listen while I need to take my mind of things. Great mix, especially because you can see how the genre evolved during those 17 years.

Some of them are a litlle too fast for me (still stuck to "air" in the office - I know 90s are gone) but I like your concept. Very energetic.

While I don't recognize as many songs as your 139 mix (at least we have the song list I was going crazy trying to figure it out last time) I like the style of this remix a lot more. Keep up the good work and I can't wait for the next one.
