Ani MollerOne o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock rock

As I love drum and bass, and I know most people reading my site probably don’t, and I am often saying to people who are a little bit interested in drum and bass but think it is all clanging and tin cans and for mentals with big pants and shaved heads, I thought perhaps I will start to more regularly share the music I am raving to on my iPod when I walk down the street.

So, to start, here is Survival’s May mix for DOA (Dogs On Acid, the biggest drum and bass forum on the entire internets, apparently). It is full of the deepness, and the deepness is what I crave.

So, what is “deep”? How is this different to liquid? Tech? Jump-up? Wobble? Acid rave nu-house breaks? To be honest I am not the best person to explain that. I know it when I hear it, but I can’t tell you why I know it. Just like I can tell you that I think a track is by Commix, or Lynx, but I can’t really pin-point the reason why I know that. So I think what I’m saying is that drum and bass is a feeling. Sometimes you get it in your chest, sometimes you get it in your loins, sometimes it comes out in your hands rave style spirit fingers, or perhaps you suddenly bust out doing the running man.

(I’m sure I could tell you the different between the genres if I sat down and tried to be slightly coherent but instead I will tell you to read Wikipedia.)

So, anyway, here is the mix. Download it. And make sure you check out the second to last song – Draw by Break/Fierce/Nico. Bad!
