Reviews & Discussion
I remember the first time I heard this in Tower Records (yes, Tower Records) I was blown away with how fresh everything sounded. We have all these components and sounds that are completely reminiscent of the older, mid-90's vibe, but such diversity that you really remain interested in the mix the entire time. Much like his mix for Breakbeat Science, this mix by Clever defies what most people have been playing for ages. It's nice to see someone embrace this sound and try to push it farther. A great compilation by one of my favorite labels.
This mix gives me hope for drum and bass. The comparisons of this material to labels like Certificate 18, Partisan, Metalheadz, Good Looking, etc. are all spot on. Here you have a sweet selection of tunes that are unquestionably modern productions but they bring that old 94-96 vibe that had seemed lost for so long. Sweet drums, low bass, and that diversity of sound that most modern jungle producers couldn't even dream of make this mix absolutely essential for all those old jungle fans sick of the trends that have run rampant through the music since about 1998.
