Jungle on di Net

I am sitting up late doing exactly what I'm not supposed to be doing...playing on the computer. My tendency to stumble around the internets like a lost drunkard pays off sometimes. I spent a few minutes searching for Sound in Motion by Origin Unknown (Andy C and Ant Miles) and ended up stumbling on this kid http://www.djrolley.co.uk/. The site is awesome. More drum and bass for me...I love this guys taste in toons, not just toons, but seriously rugged mixes. Some are his, others are remixes of other mixes, all floor smashers. I dunno about you, but I like my drum and bass to have drum and BASSSSS. Electro and indie rock influences are all well and good, but influence not takeover. Its called drum and bass, stands to reason that would be your primary sounds. You can't just throw a breakbeat under a nouveau faux punk track and call it drum and bass.

Music is the Answer....

Isn't it though? Think about how much music has been a part of your life. For me, its always been there and every significant event in my life has a soundtrack. Sometimes I even planned it that way. The theme music for my "first time", A New High in Drum and Bass. While the event itself wasn't truly planned, the music had to be and was...ambient jungle. Yes my friends, I am a junglist. I'm also a determined extrovert so I've ended up in musical places all over the aural map. What events do you playback with a song, mix, or album in mind?
