This is NOT the James Zabiela I’m used to!

I found this mix via an account I follow on Soundcloud.

There are just SO many new mixes available, and with streaming services like SC and Mixcloud, it’s easier to listen. However,  time is precious! And I can’t ever hope to listen to everything I see linked on facebook/twitter or the soundcloud news stream, but I’m glad I gave this one a listen on my wireless headphones @ work last week.

This mix features some of his signature scratching and button mashing, but instead of progressive and tech-house, it’s contrasted against some smartly chosen future garage/dub tunes that are currently all the rage with all sorts of DJs and producers. He hits the techno switch towards the end, it’s a fantastic build-up over the 90 minutes.

A brief interview was posted to the RA page for this mix HERE.
