A vital genre health check from the longest-standing, highly respected scene authority: Drum&BassArena 2018 distils the essence and importance of drum & bass and jungle in 2018„ And the results are off the positivity richter scale. Boundaries have blurred, subgenres are less regimented, DJs are mixing across the spectrum, collaborations are popping off left, right and centre, artists are setting up forward-thinking new labels and there™s a deeper connection between the originators and newcomers than there has been in years. To put it simply; Drum & bass has never felt, sounded or behaved as exciting, uncompromised and united as it is right now and Drum&BassArena 2018 captures this with clarity, depth and knowledge. No other genre-specialised album comes close: This isn™t hyperbole, this isn™t conjecture, it™s not even a tightly-coiled string of words to create hype for the product. This is a fact. And you only have to dip your raving toes into any of these creatively-curated, dynamically-arranged CDs to witness this. Representing the full cycle and widest possible spectrum of the unique UK-bred, globally-spread genre, there™s a powerful sense of energy and ideas at play across the collection as we™re ricocheted from madness to meltdown with every chop, switch and blend. From jump-up™s new general Macky Gee to jungle™s most talked about man-of-the-moment Benny L via the unstoppable Luton fusionists A.M.C & Turno via certified scene figureheads such as Andy C, Marcus Intalex, Spirit, Total Science, Shimon and the established 2000s alumni Rockwell, Alix Perez, Break and The Prototypes and beyond, Drum&BassArena 2018 documents exactly how exciting, forward-thinking and open minded drum & bass is right now„ We have reached a crucial part of the genre cycle: After every mainstream peak a scene retreats, refocuses and revitalises the core values and what they stand for. While D&B was still battering the top 10, fast-tracking a whole new generation™s heartbeats to 170BPM, seeds were being sown on the underground„ And now the harvest is ready to feast on. Enjoy.
