A mix recorded live (2006) in Birmingham, UK, it captures my respect for the Black British sound and it's range. Drum n' Bass (Jungle to some), never really had a real chance in America. It wasn't commercial enough to receive the attention it needed to thrive and survive. Quite honestly, I believe it takes a certain kind of intelligence to be understood, in the sense that it's not only one of the many voices of the African Diaspora, but that it's geographic location creates the unique sound/story. Fortunately, I went to the UK, in search of the sound, with the mission to bring it home. Drum N Bass is to England, what GoGo is to Washington D.C. The sounds of both places are undiscovered by the global ear, upheld by the communities that breathe it and respected by those outside of it that recognize its significance! Take a listen and explore!
