Summer 2010 in Three Mixes Part One

During the course of Summer 2010 I have listened to a lot of mixes in a lot of styles, it has been tough to narrow it down to my three favourites with many strong contenders. The quality of the three mixes that I have chosen are undeniably good and they represent where my tastes are currently based musically in that the styles of the music included on them are certainly quite juxtaposed. These are three mixes that are well worth a listen.

I start with two hours of high octane dubstep from the dubstep super group Magnetic Man. Benga, Skream and Artwork deliver an outstanding and at times pounding journey through the summers big hitting dubstep anthems. Approached as more of a DJ set than the live performance the essential mix showcases a fair few tunes from the groups forthcoming album, highlights being the anthemic single "I Need Air", the hypnotic "The Bug" which has a vocal remnant of Adam Freeland's "We Want Your Soul" and the Ms Dynamite featuring banger "Fire". If you were at a festival this summer and took in some dubstep this mix is sure to bring back some memories!
