Hey crew,

I've decided to start a new mix series called Soul Sessions that will focus on the soulful, liquid end of the drum & bass spectrum. The first volume features plenty of fresh tunes with a few older faves thrown in for good measure. Check it out, all feedback welcome!

Thanks mate!

Also up on SoundCloud if anyone has link issues: HERE

Just the d&b I like! Kudos for the cover and series concept too, not many people go the extra mile to make their mixes something out of the ordinary.

Quality is represented here. I have been waiting a while, but had no doubt that it would be worth it...which it very much is.

I'd love a Soul Sessions - Classics series full of all that good early-mid 00 liquid business.

Will do mate.. probably not the next mix, but I like your thinking!


I posted this link in the NEAT FREQs thread, but also meant to add it in here. This mix is a recording from a few weeks ago featuring myself and DJ Halogen live on NEAT FREQs. Halogen is originally from Renmark and was one of the DJs who helped get me started back in the day. He often plays funk, soul, disco, house, breaks, etc., but also has a nice little DnB collection up his sleeve!

Really feeling your selections on this one, liked the call and answer through the first few tracks, nice to hear a theme and structure

How intentional was that and did you plan the entire mix or once it was rolling let it flow?

Thanks for the mix!!

I definitely had a good idea of what tracks I was going to use, but I guess a lot of it just came together nicely in the final mix. The better you know your tunes the better you're able to match them with others IMO. A lot also comes down to dropping in a new track at the right time... but I think that 'the right time' is simply a matter of opinion anyway!

I've been wanting to lay down a new Soul Sessions mixtape for months, but simply hadn't had the time to do it. Underground Sound DJ Competition has been a massive project for me and I've been working on it for around 4 months already. My turntables have also been living at The Oriental for the comp, which has made it all the more difficult to record a mix.

Needless to say, I've finally managed to get Soul Sessions Vol. 2 recorded and it is currently going online!!!  :lighter:
