Whilst Music internet has been ruminating for the past few months over having to choose between Drum OR Bass in the current economic climate, the 25th instalment for our AV Mix Series sees generous helpings of not just DnB, but also Reggae and eclectic Rare Grooves. The sounds are supplied by none other than TWINHED, veteran of the local junglist and Drum & Bass scene, a mainstay of the former +65. Drum & Bass via Home Club, and one half of producer-duo Altered Statesmen. Mixed both on vinyl and digital, this is a journey through an extensive personal music collection informed by shifting geographies through TWINHED’s global traverses (UK, Italy, Singapore).
