Pearsall - Squat Rocking 8: The Darkside (Techstep Drum & Bass)



"For the 8th edition of my Squat Rocking series of mixes dedicated to the sound of the UK free/squat party scene, I decided to shake things up a little. The previous instalments have covered the core sounds of the scene: acid techno/trance and hard techno, but with this mix I wanted to tip my hat to dark drum n' bass, a crucial element of the free party scene back when I was a regular attendee in the late 90's/early 00's. The drum n' bass dj's on the free party scene regularly aired some of the nastiest, filthiest, most gruesome tunes ... perfect sounds for stomping about to in a gloomy warehouse! I've tried very hard to capture that vibe in this mix, which covers 15 of some of the most no-holds barred techstep bangers in my collection. Enjoy!"

I don't usually look for energy drink brands as a way of finding new tunes - but Red Bull's list of top mixes of 2016 had a few blinders:

Claire Morgan - Claydrum podcast:



Traumprinz - Live at Planet Uterus:



Hymns - Making Waves Underground Podcast



Never heard of any of these people before - but all these are crackers....

Great to see Rob Hall doing more regular mixes- shame none of them can be downloaded. It's the ten year anniversary of his 12 monthly mixes, isn't it?
