New vinyl delivery from BBS
New Drum & Bass tunes that I had to have physical copies of arrived at the office today:
Back to Your Roots, No Escape, Warehouse / Destroyed, No Soul, Reservoir / The Feed, Midnight Special, Jump / Flatline, Ni Ten Ichi Ryu (Teebee Remix) / Sidewinder (Infiltrata & Hochi Remix), Be There 4 U, Falling / Out of Time (Calyx Remix), Dance All Night (Calyx Remix) / Freak Seen (not audio links you mp3 hungry fools!).
Their arrival prompted a discussion on the desirability to add a turntable to the office, which was mostly suggested to up the Lounge atmosphere. We’re talking retro here. Though I have low expectations of this transpiring I think it’d be pretty fantastic to listen to my collection at work.
With the the package sitting open on my desk it was a hard last three hours of the workday.
When I got home I rolled Back to Your Roots over Jump and felt a bit like a DJ Friction biter, only because he introduced and basically got me hooked on Back to Your Roots via his essential mix *. Additionally he starts Next Level 2 with Jump and I played around with a non-disruptive looping effect (called ‘roll’) on my DJM-800, which I suspect Friction also used on Next Level 2, but damn that songs lends itself to mashing & looping… soo good.
* also see - and a much better mix - Madd’s set with a fucking brilliant mashup of this song.
