Darkstep Warrior- The Essential Classic Drum & Bass Mix

At the dawn of the new century, a new sound was born. A sound that would forever change Drum & Bass. From the dark and cryptic minds of immortal producers like Ed Rush & Optical, Dom & his Roland, Technical Itch, Stakka & Skynet, Loxy & Ink, Klute, Calyx, TeeBee, & the Don himself, Konflict a new evolution of this wicked genre would begin. New labels would form, and older labels would grow to showcase this dark apocalyptic sound for decades to come- RAM, Renegade Hardware, Moving Shadow, Underfire, & Virus Recordings would allow this variant to grow and to prosper. This transformative sound would change the genre for generations eventually taking its next step in evolution into Neurofunk. From this, Techstep was born. With those signature kicks, snares, & heart pounding bass, this essential classic mix will bring you the dark industrialized sounds of these renowned producers as you take a journey through this seamlessly crafted early techstep experience.
