DJ Pain – Road To Oblivion

I first came across DJ Pain about a year or so ago, when my good friend Trick from the mighty Rhythm Incursions put me onto his ‘Day The Earth Stood Still’ mix, one of the most well put mixes I’d heard in a long time. Not only did it feature all sorts of tracks I’d been bumping for a while, it was also ladden with choice vocal samples from the movie of the same name and other sources, the whole thing lovingly mixed and put together over an hour of head nodding goodness.

As luck would have it, DJ Pain has just released a new mix, ‘Road To Oblivion’, continuing on the same track of delivering some of the best beats of recent years laced with choice samples and mixed the way it should be. And of course this wasn’t going to pass the Rhythm Incursion guys, so they’ve very cleverly decided to podcast the new mix. Like his previous, this is very much one of those mixes which is much more than just a bunch of tracks continuously mixed together, and instead takes the approach of telling a story of sorts and immersing the listener into the DJ’s audio world for the length of the mix.

So get on it, not now but right now. You can subscribe to the R-I podcasts here (and I seriously recommend you do as the guys have been putting through some incredible shows recently) or alternatively if you’ve still not got your head round podcasts you can download the mix directly here.

Seriously though I can only recommend you subscribe to their podcasts and check the regular weekly shows on Resonance FM (which are also archived at Samurai FM) as R-I is one of the finest radio shows in recent years, showcasing a wide range of music and beats for anyone who likes their shit a little different and most definitely banging.
