Drum and Bass Mix - Vol. 1 - "The Thief and The Oasis" - June 2012

Now available on Soundcloud:
/ the-thief-and-the-oasi...
Had this one on my mind for a while and needed to get it out. A spicy drum and bass set featuring songs with a decidedly Middle Eastern sound. Couple of distinct artists fit this mold, Amit and Sunchase, but I've got a few other tracks in the vault that pare well. If you're liking some of these tracks, you should know most of the transitions in this set are really long (maybe as long as 2 minutes in and out) so the live tracklist changes after the incoming track is mostly dominant...so if you hear these tracks elsewhere, they will not sound exactly as they do here. Hope you enjoy, feel free to comment, share, and if you like this set, please subscribe so you don't miss future uploads...here's the track list:
1. "Motherland" - Amit
2. "The 47" - Method One
3. "Glimpse of Truth" - Kemal
4. "Village Folk" - Amit
5. "Alluvion" - Electro Soul System & Sunchase
6. "Isida" - Sunchase
7. "The Yearning" - Unknown Error
8. "The Duststorm" - LM1 & The Square
9. "Renaissance" - LM1
10. "Deadzone" - State of Mind feat. Axiom
11. "Sands of Time" - Sunchase
12. "Wings" - Chooga
13. "Rakshash" - Zeal, Litta & Ketz
14. "Hear My Call" - Dom & Roland

I really love the long transitions, for me this is what makes mixing an art, what it's all about. I was out of (good) music again and wham, this comes along. Just awesome.

[@hronomartihrom9763]

Excellent thank you

[@ferfiti]

one of your most underrated sets

[@Taken804]

+ferfiti Thanks Ferfiti!

[@sekalf2]

No problem, glad you liked it :)

[@Taken804]

Thanks goblin...and yeah, these tracks are special....

[@Taken804]

This set is so cool (and not cause of my mix but the tracks are fantastic) and its not getting enough run. That's OK...I'm happy a few DnB fans are digging it!

[@Taken804]

I have not heard that one...nice track. Thanks again for suggestion.

[@doorochi]

Very good stuff!

[@Taken804]

I may have but i dont recall that particular track, i'll check it out soon. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@Taken804]

Glad you approve C222...its a bit different but I tend to mentally group tracks as I listen to them over and over...sectioning them off by their similarities. I'll have a few more of this type of set coming up but I've got to get out a couple of others I have in the works first. Be on the lookout for a straight DnB set, a little on the light side, but not liquid. Hope to have it up sometime next week.

[@Taken804]

Thanks!

[@1notveryfamousnotverybad]

Very good, nice tracklist.

[@penfold850]

mighty mixin

[@Doompaul23]

amazing dnb

[@Taken804]

Thanks Gobblin!

[@DrakDrakoTako]

this collection need much more Clicks

[@Taken804]

+Kartos Kartes Yeah...this one sort of flying under the radar, a different sound that everyone gets into. Different vibe but I love it. Thanks for the listen.

[@Taken804]

I've been working on smoothing out the transitions and it takes a lot of work upfront, at least for me at this stage. My ear is becoming very adept at finding weak or jarring slides between tracks. I hope you'll subscribe and comment...I need you guys to keep me on my toes and working to get better.

[@Taken804]

Missed your comment somehow....thanks for the props, and the listen!

[@sekalf2]

Im sure youve heard it, but a great track you might like is Fanu - Siren song.. it got that middle eastern feel to it

[@Polly543]

Mate this is totally beautiful!

[@Taken804]

Thanks...and I'm sorry its been 2 months before I responded. I try to get to every comment but I think my iPad has been losing comments when I've entered them. Anyway...thanks for the listen!

[@ZAAzar]

Like other people have said, this is SO underrated. Love the sounds! كتير حلو!

[@Taken804]

+Xjorukmír Azhar thanks mate...appreciate the love

[@demaloe]

Damn!

[@Taken804]

I know...the vibe turned out really well with this one. And I truly appreciate the props...I've been a fan for a long time but just started to mix a little more than a year ago. This mix was like my 4th or 5th ever and to get praise from long time DnB fans/djs mean a hell of a lot. Thanks for the listen and I hope you'll check out some of the other mixes...especially Vol. 2! Peace!

[@Taken804]

Most welcome azz...and I subscribe to Panda but agree with you, most of the tracks are not very good. 'Course I'm really picky... Thanks for listening!

[@ВладимирМартыненко-ъ7ь]

неплохая музыка.

[@Taken804]

+Владимир Мартыненко Спасибо!

[@Taken804]

Thanks...I love this mix, the mood and tone turned out so great. Thanks for the listen...

[@switchest26]

Ive been mixing DnB since 1994 and for some reason this mix makes me want to run about with a spear and shield attacking wild animals :D Big up ya chest!

[@driftermorrelo]

Hello! This is really awesome! Do you know how this sub-gerne of dnb is called?(if it's a sub-genre or a style or whatever) I want more of this sort of music.

[@Blyfycyfyfyf]

I totally dig this mix. @T4KEN, are you still in business?

[@Taken804]

I don't think this style has a name, and if you go to Ishtur's Guide to Digital Music or whatever its called, don't believe the hype! We don't need a bunch of bullshit subgenres for every sound. Just follow up with the artists I've included....especially Amit. They'll do other tracks with similar sounds...

[@FuNoK83]

nice... i like drops and long trnsitions... dont like fast switches!!!
