Gray Matter 2 | Deep Drum and Bass Mix

50 minutes of deep drum and bass, featuring releases from Ilk, Andy Skopes, PRTCL, Thing, Seba and Method One, Bungle, and more in the tracklist.
After getting good reception and some thoughts, I've decided to revisit the '5 States of Matter' and turn it into deep DnB mini-series.
This set concentrates on heavy duty vibes, with ample bits of oldschool breaks and jungle, then dive into dark and heavy territory, and wrapping up with some deep selections.

I'm a software engineer. As long as I hit the play on whatever stuff this guy makes, no matter what my previous mood was, I instantly get "into the zone". f1rstpers0n, you definitely are a productivity enhancer.

[@georgebenfield]

Civil, Survey, Architecture, Structural Engineer CAD tech here, im on like that too!! This guys mixes are a shot in the arm!!

[@ExecutionSommaire]

same here dude, you worded it perfectly

[@adamstrange5000]

THIS IS TRUE DRUM & BASS. Not those other tracks that just have the same pop song beat throughout the track with no changes in the drum pattern.

[@thecodelico]

Okay DnB and this UI LOOKS SOO FUCKIN AMAZING

[@JohnDoe-mv5yn]

Most interesting visuals I've ever seen.

[@FishyDizzle]

Yes

[@CoREeu]

[@djmj12714]

Fresh and hot off the turntables!

[@f1rstpers0nmixes]

oh boy it'd be smokin if i start spinnin wax :D

[@djmj12714]

Nothing like the smell of brand new vinyl... better than sex? I'd have to think about that for a while! ... OK, I've thought about it, No!

[@djmj12714]

I'll have you know, this set has been on a "rinse and repeat" cycle for the last day and a half, "Bungle - Distance" really smashes it right proper!

[@BentleyDKR]

f1rstper0n delivers once again! Great shit!

[@Aruvee]

yeah, visuals are sweet indeed.

[@xXxKAMIKAZExXx]

Love the visuals!

Funny story, true story.. It was 1995.. I was 11 and cruising the 7th grade . A really good friend of mine from school had an older sister that was about 18, 19 or so. .. She had a live in boyfriend. He was a DJ. Being it was 95/96 and being from the Midwest (Milwaukee, WI) home of Drop Bass Network, Dan Doormouse, Steve Centrific, Big Bad Joe aka DJ Hyperactive, Delta 9, just to name a few, well naturally he was a Hardcore DJ. I remember liking it.... lot. Well one day i was over at my friends house, and they were spinning records. And ill never forget this day for the rest of my life. Every detail is singed into my memory. My friend and I merely wee lads, so were allowed no where near those decks. Ever. . this day was the exception. .. I was asked if i wanted to pick a record...Nervously I thumbed through the milk crates of records. I can still smell them. I picked the one that i thought was the "coolest looking" to me. It had weed leafs on it , and said Ganja Records across the sleeve. So why not? I took the record out of the sleeve, lined the hole in the center of the record with the spindle. Ever so carefully i laid the record onto the felt slip mat on the spinning platter. Grabbed the head , moved the arm, and placed the needle onto the vinyl just where and how i was instructed to . The very second i flipped the volume fader up I was hit with rhythmic snares and high hats in such astonishing syncopation coupled with the deepest , most extraordinary bass scoops that my brain could hardly process... Jungle... It was instantaneous love at first note. From that very moment i have been in love with DnB. And its been quite some time. Im 33 years old, going on 34. Ive been listening to DnB for 23 years. 70% or 2/3 of my life. Id like to believe i have a keen sense to discern between whats good DnB and whats not. ((Now Of course there are those who you know whose track it is just by the first few seconds of a track , but... thats not what im talking about here.)) Im talking about the few that sit atop of the list of my favorite DJs . Those few whom their mixes are timeless. That every time i put one one it will always hit the spot and satisfy. This is a very very slim list, my friend. And you're on it. You should be very proud of yourself and what you do. . I dont speak for everyone or anyone but myself, but i know for a fact that Im not the only one who puts your track selection, your knowledge of them , your flavor and mixing style above a great deal of DJs that have been around for many years. I remember a long time ago i sent you a PM asking you when your going to be opening for d-bridge. You humbly scoffed it off as if i jest. I was 100% serious. Whatever you're doing, keep it up . And dont think the same doesn't go for your Dub Techno mixes , either. big big ups. Cheers from the Mil.
