Spectrum Drum & Bass

In 2000 the Defunked record label was launched.

Here, gleaned from the early years of the label, are my favourite tracks. Enjoy :-) Carlito & DJ Addiction – Supergrass Fellowship – It’s A Mystery Mathematics – Jersey Deep...

As the Spectrum shows were drawing to a close, we focused more on mixes from former guests. Spearhead/Future Retro label head BCee was a repeat guest, and subsequently during 2009 a presenter on the show. Unfortunately he was unable to appear on Spectrum before we finished, but to mark his involvement and in appreciation of the many fine tracks he provided, I spun out this mix. This is recorded di...

I've always maintained that D&B is an incredibly versatile music style, and I was certain that it was possible to create a mix that was relaxing and would induce sleep. I used to play this low when in bed, and I never stayed awake until the end... Shy FX & T Power – Everything feat.
