This is the third chapter in a four-part series, recorded in January 2012. A return to the raw, unfiltered sound of classic techstep. Spanning 20 tracks and running for 1 hour and 20 minutes, this mix dives into the darker, grittier corners of drum and bass.
It opens with a menacing track from the incredibly dark EP by The Redeemer, a collaboration between The Panacea and DJ Scud. From there, it journeys through gems like Double Zero by iLL Figure, released on Emiotiff's sublabel, and iconic staples like Teebee’s Into Submission and Decorum’s Contrax. The mix also features rare and lesser-known tracks such as Item A’s La Playa from the Czech imprint Obushek, Crime Audio, and the 1999 French release La Cible Mouvante on Smokers Inc.
At 56 minutes, the mystery deepens: a track pressed on a whitelabel with the engraving obscured, leaving its identity unknown-even to the compiler. Perhaps a listener will solve the riddle?
