Sutton based DJ Gauge comes correct with a mix that’s 100% Calibre! As you’d expect it’s smooth vibes all the way and packed full of soulful, rolling liquid. Not much more to say so check out the mix below and grab it as a free download from his Soundcloud page.
Calibre has always been a quiet, enigmatic legend; he doesn’t play out regularly, nor does he often deal with the press, and he’s never bothered to maintain much of an online presence, preferring to let his tunes speak for themselves. Good for him then that they speak volumes, in a soothing, soulful tone of voice. Already held in immense esteem by most of the drum & bass community, his induction into the Fabriclive hall of fame merely cements the position he’s been occupying for well over a decade.
Those familiar with Calibre’s output will find few surprises but plenty to love on his mix for Fabric. Comprised mostly of his own tunes or remixes, the rest of the material comes from the likes of Lynx, dBridge and Marcus Intalex. The mix is an effortless journey through deep, soulful, melancholy drum & bass, and the selection is complemented by absolutely pitch perfect mixing from one tune to the next.

To celebrate the recent release of the beautiful Follow You Around / Contract single on Blu Mar Ten Music, Stray has compiled a top notch mix spanning all the styles of drum & bass. Starting out with some smooth liquid rollers, then venturing off into darker territory, and featuring some absolutely outstanding tracks such as Amit‘s Killer Driller before finishing up with the A side of the single, this is thoughtful d&b at it’s best.
Check out the single and the mix below!
Spectrasoul‘s latest single sees them moving away from their drum & bass roots and into other tempos. While the original is a decent slice of deep house, the remixes are far better; Kito has delivered a quality dubstep rework, and liquid funk legend Calibre has provided an absolutely beautiful drum & bass mix. The trademark crisp breaks sit perfectly alongside a warm bassline , crisp breaks and a soulful vocal to form a deep, silky roller. One for the 5am crew!
Check it out below and grab yourself a copy of the single from the Shogun shop.
