V/A - Hospital Mix.Seven (Danny Byrd) |
|
||||||
|
From Bath (with Love), DJ/Producer Danny Byrd brings us a quantum of drum & bass on this near hour long mix. He started over 10 years ago on the local scene joining Hospital Records in 2000 on which he released the singles ‘Do it Again’ and ‘Changes’ being one of the first producers to mix D&B with soulful house, garage and R&B influences. After loads of gigs and remixes, he released his debut album Supersized last May and this high speed mix of no less than 25 tracks includes his tracks from the album ‘Labyrinth’, ‘Red Mist’, ‘Feet Won’t Touch The Ground’ and ends the CD with the manic ‘From Bath With Love’ featuring 007 female vocals by T-Lace. All your usual Hospitality suspects are represented starting with London Elektricity, Cyantific, Commix, High Contrast and Nu:Tone. In fact, some of the standout tracks come from these old hands, like ‘Attack Ships On Fire’, ‘All Hell Is Breaking Loose’, ‘Balaclava’, the monstrous ‘Tutti Frutti’ and two previously unreleased tracks, ‘Space Zombie’, ‘Eastern Promise’. But on the subject of “two previously unreleased tracks”, Mistabishi (of whom I know nothing) steals the show. First with a track called ‘Heavens Sake’ (with more 007 female vocals) and then one of the early tracks of the year called ‘Printer Jam’ - no prizes for what that sounds like. Whether it’s old or new tracks, Mr. Byrd’s mix is seamless but never dull as, if you haven’t guessed by now, there is a large cinematic quality to it. His most recent high profile appearance was on the cover of Computer Music magazine with his top production tips but when he’s not at Hospitality nights in London he’s all over the place and is a busy as his No. 7 mix. Definitely worth getting as it’s so reasonable priced and I’m going to find out more about Mistabishi as a matter of some urgency. Forthcoming Gigs Links |
