I have always loved drum & bass, especially (IMO) the golden age of the late 90's. Almost every DJ worth their salt where dropping a classic D&B track into their sets. Check out Oakenfold's Global Underground Olso & New York sessions to see what I mean. Everything but the girl also got the message and knock out some brilliant D&B tracks, some of which I have selected on the mix. Hope you like.

Love it. Thanks
OPENING TRACK!!!!!!!! - Yes, yes, YES. Hypnotic synth swirls, zaps, and chimes lead into low decibel pads. Wait for the pan flute. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/07/1c/b8/071cb8413592760558f89386b79c34eb.jpg - 8:20 mark - Very Nice. Female vocal loop, zappy keys, and floating chimes. 13:10 - Flowin'. Female vocals, "Movin' on from yesterday," wonky bones (Rhodes), jazzy piano accompaniment. 18:00 - AURA STANZA. http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/galleries/x701/79661.jpg - 28:20 - Smooth cooldown. Undercurrent buttons with bongo percussion. 31:30 - W h o o s h. Cautious uncertainty female vocals. The unsettled bassline reverberance adds exhilaration. https://generationrush.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/1013164_1411383409109079_1446956752_n.jpg - 42:45 - LOVELY. Gliding bass viola riff, steel chamber drums. 48:30 - A CLASSIC. Female vocal hook, "Take me up," true ambient and operatic vibez. All vets will recognize this track. 53:30 - Compelling female vocals, "We belong, reach for the stars," as the piano does just that. 57:15 - Coda....ensoulment female vocals....as lights and shadows rapidly pass (Moog).
- You ever have those days where you need a couple "breather" moments? This ambient d&b voyage is an easy listen. The instrumentation offers Zen and aura vibez with some Tracey Thorn distinctive vocals. There are other well-placed tracks with the same disposition, however, this isn't gloomy. For golden age (late 1990s) d&b fans that want breezy melodies and taps (high snares), this is tranquility. (59 mins 30 secs - Breezy & Tranquil d&b)
