Dunfyboy's Drum & Bass Mix

Worst mix ever.
No, not really, but it's been a pain in the arse.
You know what it's like, I'm sure it's happened to everyone; you finish a mix just before you go abroad to watch your footy team get humped by a 2nd division Swedish outfit in a UEFA cup qualifier. "I'll write down the tracklist when I get back. It'll still be fresh in my mind". Bollocks you will. 9 months later you decide to post the mix to your podcast and think "Shit! No tracklist!". So, having spent this morning swearing a lot, and this afternoon listening to hundreds of tunes and going "No, that's not it" or "That's the right tune, but not the right mix", here it is, complete with the fucking tracklist.
Hope it was worth the effort.
I've never been a huge fan of Jungle or Drum & Bass, but a lot of rave and early hardcore tracks had jungle elements in them so there's always been some I liked. It seemed to me that most jungle producers & DJs seemed to concentrate so hard on the breakbeat they forgot to put a decent tune in there too. Anyway, mid-nineties I gave up on D&B and stuck to hardcore & happy hardcore, but always sort of drifted back every once in a while, like in 1998 when I heard "Walk This Land" on "Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels", DJ Marky & XRS's version of "Carolina Carol Bela" in 2002, or when Pendulum released "Hold Your Colour" in 2005.
So, here it is. Some tunes from way back, some more up to date.
Enjoy.

Remember to check out www.dunfyboysmixes.blogspot.com for future mixes. There's a couple on there already and more on the way.
I've been listening to dance music for ever (at least, it feels like it) and mixing for the past 15 years. It was hearing Eon's "Spice" that really hooked me, followed by other classics like Joey Beltram's "Energy Flash" and Orbital's "Chime". After that, I fell in love with the breakbeat-driven rave tunes like The Prodigy's "Your Love" and Urban Shakedown's "Some Justice". This lead onto early English happy hardcore and the harder sounds coming out of Scotland & Holland.
In the second half of the 90s, happy hardcore got cheesier and all hardcore seemed to be turning into gabba. The countless remixes meant there wasn't really anything new for me and I pretty much gave up on hardcore in 97/98, turning to trance instead. Luckily, I'd gotten into big beat two or three years before that so, plenty of breakbeats there to keep me happy. This lead onto nu-school breaks and the dirty, heavier sound of electro house has got me back into house.
So far, my mixes have been download in the UK, Ireland, Finland, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Serbia, Greece, Morocco, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Brasil, Argentina, Canada, the US and Mexico. It's kinda weird to think of all the little zeroes and ones from my computer spreading all over the world and (hopefully) making a few people smile along the way. If your country's missing from the list, let me know.
After a little Googling, I see my podcast has been mentioned on a few sites and forums, no thanks to me. Thanks to all who have spread the word.
I hate to sound like an attention whore, but it takes time to create and upload these mixes (not to mention make the artwork) so if you download a mix or sign up to my rss feed below, please take the time to leave a comment. It's good to hear from you and find out what you think of the mixes here.
Now, get downloading.
