• Doc Scott feat. MC Justyce @ Blue Note - 20/01/1997 | mirror (320kbps, 97mins)

Chris @ Metalheadz posted this set over at DOA wondering where drum and bass has gone wrong. In said thread there are some good points on the changes that happened to the music. Too much focus on getting the loudest pressing, most tearing midrange and a miseducated crowd that will only respond to obvious rave signals are the main issues in my opinion. Old story and there is surely enough talented people and dope beats out there so please go buy the music and enjoy this nice little set straight from the Blue Note Club, London back in 1997.

Oh and Chris also dopped this info:

This is one of many…I got 10 + sets so far out of the 500 from blue note, hanover grand, dingwalls, heaven etc…

… looks like there is loads more to come!

Back in time again, its Fabio playing some wonderful tunes on this recording from back in 1995. Classic! This one should appeal even to those who didnt like the probably most commented set in BB history. Picture taken from the Fabio Interview @ Timeout London late 2007.

Tracklist anyone?

• Jonny L - Essential Mix 04/05/1997 | mirror | torrent (192kbps, 117mins)

host: dnbshare.com | info: jonnyl.net, myspace.com/jonnylrecords

Jonny L’s latest hardcore tributing tune “Oh Yeah” made me dig my harddisc for his Essential Mix back in 1997 … High quality beats with alot of depth and flavour. This Mix does not dissapoint.

Taken from the 1Xtra Press Office:

Presenters leaving the station as part of the schedule changes are:
DJ Flight
L Double
[...]

More Hip Hop / RnB, less Drum and Bass. Baileys show is being moved to Flights former Spot on Wednesday. A move from underground to mainstream. Personally i think Flights Show was the freshest, most cutting-edge one on 1Xtra and it will surely be missed alot.

Thumbs Down.
