What a welcome surprise it was to hear that Mixmag had focused their attentions on Medshool and the Blood Pressure compilation (MEDIC27), by commissioning a mix from BluMarTen and Mutated Forms. Below you’ll find 1 hour and 15 mins of unmissable track selection from two quality outfits heralding from a broad generational range. Download mix here - Mixmag battle
BluMarTen kick off true to form, with no nonsense mixing and a key eye on the ‘Full Journey’. The fellas offer deep sub basslines as a key theme to the piece but keep very attentive to a variation of drum patterns. Dipping into the 90’s for the beginning BluMarTen approach the end of their portion of the mix with some highlights from the Blood Pressure album, paying homage to Mutated Forms by dropping Feels Like (MEDIC27). There’s a seamless blend of styles and tempos during the mix of Dillinja - Silver Blade and Urbandawn & Rotate - Blue Forest Grotto which ought to be consumed instantly. Easier the winning portion of this mix comes at the end, where a blend mix of Blade Runner Blues by JDL and Broken Man by Commix leaves a serious hunger for more.

The Mutated forms offering is a mixed at a much quicker pace, where the boys have sought to offer a tapestry of varying sounds. The mix focuses on the harder angle here, so be prepared to be rocked. As always it’s nice to hear a nice variation in beats form yet another artist as this mix picks up pace and drops it also, making for a really thoughtful journey as well as a roller coaster of thrills. I might be showing my age but it’s always a thrill to get fed Adam F Circles, even if it is the Andy C mix (which is still a tasty beast). After much pressure from the boys it’s also a really nice feeling to have Frederic Robinson - Roadtrip blaze through the mix.

It’s always worth keeping an ear on the long running Datatransmission podcast series as the mixes are often of a high quality and informative and the offering from Med-Schools Unquote is no exception.
Unquote is one of the lead ambassadors for the new Russian Drum and Bass sound. His vibe is encompassed in deep basslines, big orchestral synth layers and minimal beats, wrapped up with highly polished production techniques.
In this Podcast Unquote seeks to bring that style and include similar tracks from others including Blu Mar Ten, London Elektricity, D-Bridge and Kharm together. This mix represents a forum for the cold side of Drum and Bass, although the warm basslines are always welcome.
