Pearsall - I never went to Speed ... I did go to Metalheadz [2-part mix set]

[Pearsall]

Hey! I'm super excited to kick off 2023 with a very special mix project: a two-part, 50-track mix set dedicated to reimagining nights at two of London's most influential drum n' bass nights ever: Speed and Metalheadz! One mix is focused on the light side, the other on the dark, but taken together they provide a really good overview of just how creatively amazing that period was. Enjoy!

[luka]

obviously its bad. but is it the sort of bad we can enjoy?

 

[Mr. Naga Pickle]

Yeah same. I also did not go to Speed but did go to Metalheadz. Sup.

 

[Pearsall]

obviously its bad. but is it the sort of bad we can enjoy?

as I remember you hate No U-Turn stuff, so I wouldn't bother with the second mix at all (I like it, though!)

as for the first one, well, I guess it depends on how much you like Bukem-type tunage - if you think it all sounds a bit 90's hair commercial, then I guess not, but if you like it smoooth then it might be enjoyable?
