Marking the 1 year anniversary of the We Dont Mess About Podcast (which began May 26, 2014) is Episode 016 featuring more of the underplayed and underloved gems of music. Beginning with a serious vibe courtesy of artists such as Break, Klute and Blu Mar Ten, this mix hits you hard and heavy before going back in time to some of the smoother jungle sounds. As always, the WDMA podcast serves is an educational trip.
Tracklist:
1. Break - No Destiny [Commercial Suicide]
2. Klute - Learning Curve [Commercial Suicide]
3. Bad Matter & Martsman - Cold Love [Lightless]
4. Fre4knc - The Source [Samurai]
5. Blu Mar Ten - Damage [Blu Mar Ten]
6. Electrosoul System - Outer Heaven [Ketama]
7. Seba - Nightwalker [Purified Audio]
8. Intersperse - Equanimity [Looking Good]
9. ASC - Ethereal Images [Covert Operations]
Break is a legend. With 2 albums, 76 singles/EPs and countless appearances it's hard to say anything other than this man brought the beard to drum and bass. 'No Destiny' from 2005 is no exception. Deep bass through and through.

The underplayed flip to 'Hell Hath No Fury', Klute's 'Learning Curve' is a punk take on dnb with a truly unique sound. This is one of my personal favorites. Ten points to whomever can identify the vocal sample for me!

An extraordinarily underplayed tune from Fanu's label, Bad Matter & Martsman bring breaks like no other. It's a cheap record too! Get on it.

An astounding record from last year, 'The Source' by Fre4knc hasn't gotten nearly enough love. Sure as hell is hard to find these days though.

Off the album 'Love is the Devil', Blu Mar Ten's track 'Damage' hasn't gotten much play despite being a banging bass-heavy tune. Well worth checking out!

I've said it before, and I'll say it over and over again. Electrosoul System's 'Fish Eat Duck' album is my favorite album of any genre, any style. 'Outer Heaven' is taken directly off of it. Do yourself a favor and go listen to it cover to cover. You'll be glad you did.

Moving into jungle, Seba's vastly underknown classic 'Nightwalker' is among my favorites. Smooth drums and keys to bring you into a new realm.

Another damn good track from the lush Goodlooking era, Intersperse's 'Equanimity' demonstrates itself to be a roller not to be passed up.

The mix closes with one of ASC's earliest tunes, as well as the very first release on Covert Operations. Smooth vibes from 2000, and a damn cheap record worth picking up.
