COMMIX - mix up FABRICLIVE 44 - but will they turn to techno?

“To be honest, a lot of the drum & bass scene depresses us at the moment" say Commix, the D&B producers who impressed all and sundry with their debut album last year, Call To Mind - none more so than Goldie, who gave the Cambridge duo the only album deal in Metalheadz history.

The tracks he’s released—such as the deep, rolling anthem “It’s Over”—have destroyed dance floors worldwide, while bringing innovation to the often conservative genre he toils within..." via tobes read full interview at news2.bigshotmag
