Smiley gets serious.


Well it's Sunday night, and for me that means having the day off for riding, chilling, and then likely heading out to hear some drum and bass at lovely Tommy Africa's. I stayed away from Drum and Bass for many years beacause my theory was that even the cute little yellow smiley face DJ above turns aggressive when the Drum and Bass hits, and that just wasn't my style. But perspectives change and sometimes it's just a case of hearing the right stuff at the right time. Tonight, while I cook supper, with thoughts of the evening slowly creeping into my mind it turns out a a little Benny Page was the right stuff. First up we have a remix he did of Kenny Ken's track "Every Man". I'm not sure how exactly to describe this track but it's got a groovy reggae vibe, with some fun vocals that are always good to hear. Next up is Benny Page's own "Can't Test" has a similar vibe to the first track, with a smooth almost sexy sound to it.

However, the final track I would like to share is probably one of those tracks that would have initially turned me off of Drum and Bass, and similar tracks still generally aren't my style but for whatever reason I f'ing love Neckbreaker. With a slow build you totally don't see it coming and then out of nowhere shit gets twisted! Enjoy!
