2012 Drum & Bass ODYSSEY

One of the best DnB release's of 2012 so far. A continuous mix of original rough tunes from Astro Raph. With chillout, ambient, jazz, rnb, blues, jungle, breakbeat, electro, dubstep, hardcore and old skewl influences; this one blows away Astro Raph's previous release, 2010 A Drum & Bass Odyssey, featuring a lot of tracks from the 2010 release upgraded, remixed and remastered.

First track has a minimal jungle feel, lot's of empty space and very simple guitar riffs.
The album really begins with the second track. Jumping right in and quickly gaining momentum with the next few tracks, making your way to smack down in the middle of ground zero. Featuring the freshly retouched bangers "Black Light" and fan favorite "The Warning". Also in the mix, a remixed version of "Dream on", perhaps my favorite cut. Includes brand new (previously un-released) "Buty" (from 1995) "Heaven Is Here", "Really, Really Fresh" "Dubplate Masha" and "Jam Hot".

You can listen to the album on soundcloud from front to finish. I personally can't wait for this to be available for download in some capacity. Unmixed versions I can drop in my mix. Astro Raph told me it's in the works. Stay tuned!
