The latest in a series of mixes from the biggest drum & bass website has been put together by the biggest character on the scene: Bond villain, Eastenders character and Björks old flame, Goldie. Disc one is melodic and soulful with hits such as "Circles by Adam F, "Brown Paper Bag by Reprazent and "LK by Marky & XRS, each track uniquely twisted. The pick of the first side is John Bs massive anthem "Up All Night, a crossover producer first discovered by Goldie himself. Disc two is darker but no more aggressive, epitomised by the growling bass and explosive triplet break of Bad Company signature tune "The Nine. It features both older tracks like Alex Reeces "Pulp Fiction and post-millennial classics such as Pendulums "Vault. Famous for his golden teeth and equally glittering album Timeless, this is no less than one would expect from the legendary multi-talented artist: a tasteful mix of his favourite tracks from days gone by.
