The only constant Is.. by Rory James

DnB has been really filling my cup lately. Before a few months ago, It was a genre that never grabbed me. Things changed and I’ve been slowly collecting what, to me, are the best tracks - just as I always try to do, no matter what I decide to play. I did my homework and, as with any genre, you gotta sift through all the BS to get to the good stuff. A little over two decades of spinning and it's my first ever Drum & Bass mix.

This shit lit a firecracker in my ass - giving me intermittent flashbacks of how good it felt when I first got into underground dance music. Ironically, as upbeat and fast as it can be, it engulfs me with a sense of tranquility...It's been so refreshing both chillin and rockin out to these cuts. I can only imagine what the UK rave scene was like back in the 90s. I may have missed out on a pivotal moment in the scene and art at the time, but I am glad I feel the way I do about it at this time.

That being said, I dedicated this mix to tearing down those mental 'fences' that need it, having the strength to walk away from anything that holds us back, and to the inevitability of change as part of our human experience.

Enjoy :)
