This superb drum n bass remix from Calibre has been hanging around on the Greco-Roman Soundcloud for months and ,strangely, has had bugger-all plays. “Gabriel” featured recently on The Nextmen Podcast to which every single one of you should subscribe
Dig out your MA2 Bomber Jacket and reload your gun fingers, here comes the unstoppable DJ Fu with a tearing mix of Jungle classics. So authentic you can actually smell a warehouse full of crack pipes and pitbull terriers.
Play this mix really loud and by track 7 you’ll have a guy called Terry outside your house doing hand breaks turns in his Sierra Cosworth.
The chances of you being a better DJ than Fu are vanishingly small. Catch this guy playing and you’ll stagger home with your tail between your legs only to throw your turntables in the bin.
Proper talent.
Bit of a cunt, mind.

DJ’s are of course preceded by their reputation. You want a rough idea of what your going to hear when you stagger into a party.You’d be pretty upset if paid to see Digweed and he played electro-swing all night (or even for a moment). But as DJ’s get known for playing one genre or another you don’t really get to enjoy their broader musical horizons. And when you do get the chance to hear tracks from the “other” crates it can be real treat.
Drum and Bass veteran DJ Lee has toured the planet playing for Goldie’s illustrious Metalheadz crew.
A veteran of the mix and blend Lee has racked up more hours behind the decks than you’ve had sat on your sofa wishing you were him.
So when he offered to craft an exclusive deep house mix for this little corner of the internet I nearly choked on my chai-latte.
The golden ears of a partially deafened professional DnB DJ have picked out some superior house tracks that might have drifted under your radar. Expertly mixed and deftly programmed this deep house excursion goes to show that DJ Lee can spin a lot more than drum and bass and deadpan sarcasm.
