Chalk up another mix in the 9:59 section. This mix is a little random, as I pretty much took a few records that were in the front of my flight case and decided to grit my teeth and see how well (or poorly) they would work together, but at the end wasn’t quite as gash as I thought it would be!

OK I’ll be honest here- I have very limited experience playing dubstep but I think I did ok with this one. Every month I buy a couple dub-oriented tracks and with the rise of the genre over the past two years some of them are really tough to avoid since they’re so good! This ten minute mix focuses on some of the deeper tracks out there from the likes of Data, D1, and Martyn. Even though I have no ambitions whatsoever playing dubstep music outside of my bedroom, it’s still good practice playing different styles of music that I am less familiar with!

Haven't had a chance to drop a 10-minute session on you recently, until now of course! The hard techno one I did back in 9:59 installment 02 has proven to be the most popular one so far, so here's another techno oriented one. I'm about 99.9% sure I will never have the opportunity to play records like this outside my bedroom considering the fact that many think tracks like these are too abrasive or dated, but they're a lot of fun to mix and I love the brutalist simplicity. Mostly turn-of-the-century stuff here, give or take a couple years. MP3 only right now, but will post youtube video soon!
