The last piece of evidence I needed that drum & bass had staged an epic comeback? One of the newest tracks by Valencia-based theBasement Discos (usually strictly house music dealers) applies the Amen break for a few measures.
It’s a rich time for jungle lovers, not just because of all the new music coming out (and interesting infusions of genres like the one mentioned) but because there’s renewed attention on all the great selectors and producers that came before. Here’s one I knew next to nothing about but loved: An hourlong mix by DJ Sage (released by indie LA label Moonshine Music in 2003), featuring a variety of early 2000’s tracks from across North America, including a few selections produced by Sage themselves.
Hat tip to Technopagan: Listen to them spin techno, gabber, and remixes on their Lower Grand Radio show iHateMondays every first Sunday from 6-8 PM PT.
