Play The Prodigy - Omen (Edit) [right-click to download] (6081 KB)
Two tracks from the new Prodigy album, probably one of the best examples of Drum and Bass in the mainstream. I always bring them up when people tell me they don’t like DnB :)

This had me dancing at my desk
Play Moris And Minor - Is This The Groove (Ian Carey Rmx) [right-click to save] (15019 KB)
When something gets you unapologetically dancing at your desk, it means that, yes this is the groove. Remix action from Ian Carey. Original from Moris and Minor (I can’t find their website to save my life, sorry).

Play Falco Lombardi - The Girl Oceanic Demo [right-click to download] (4510 KB)
Have you heard chiptunes? If you played any NES games you definitely did, if not, well it’s 8-bit video game-y sounding music. Well, chiptunes have got a bit of a resurgence in recent years, people love their nostalgia I guess.

Justice comes around
Play Battle School - Justice for Justin [right-click to download] (7014 KB)
Justin Timberlake is another guilty pleasure I have, one that I begrudgingly accepted over the past year. I secretly hate mashups because they’ve lead to my enjoyment of some pop music. I don’t want to lose what little “cool guy” cred I’ve accumulated over the years. Well, I hope...

How we as people should want to roll
Play People Project - People (Bro Remix) [right-click to download] (10108 KB)
One of the Drum and Bass artists that I’ve been introduced in the past year, is Bro a member of the Northern Ontario Breakcore Squad. Most of his tracks are heavy on the grind and noise, but this song is less aggressive. I love the rolling jazzy beats in this. You can find more tracks from Bro and his...

Electro Numb
Play Linkin Park - Numb (DJ ZAM Remix) [right-click to download] (15233 KB)
Linkin Park is one of my guilty pleasures, at least older Linkin Park. None of the newer stuff hooks me in like their first two albums. I’ve taken to finding remixes and mashups to fuel my addiction for catchy rap rock. DJ ZAM comes to the rescue with an electro-ized Numb/Encore. [via Digital Eargasm]

Someone needs to put this song in a video game
Play Subkulture - Erasus (Escapist Mix by Brent Young) [right-click to download] (6131 KB)
I don’t know exactly what this subgenre is called it’s somewhere between industrial, electro, metal and nu-metal. This is soundtrack music, video game music, the kind of thing you want playing as your Infernus hits the highway and escapes the cops. This is the first I’ve heard...

Does Uplifting DnB exist?
Play Temple Scene - Too Far Gone (Alex Gloworld Remix) [right-click to download] (4693 KB)
I know Uplifting Trance is a genre, but does Uplifting DnB exist? I found this a few weeks ago when I was on my first TheSixtyOne binge. It starts off feeling like some uplifting, melodic trancey-thing then kicks off rolling into some Liquid/Jazzy DnB.

This is what Electro To DnB should sound like
Play RipOFF Volume 2 [right-click to save]
The normal life cycle for a mix I download is pretty short, play it once and delete it. Unless it’s really good, in which case i save a copy in my mix sets folder and then delete it. Well I’ve now listened to this mix 5 times and I think it may be a permanent fixture on my iRiver. It’s exactly what I imagine when I think about the sound...
