Thus far the series has featured breaks, drum n&#8217; bass, electro, grime, dubstep, and UK Funky, and with this edition I wanted to do a bit of digging into the whole UK Bass sound, that nexus where various strands of club music meet, mingle, and cross-pollinate in a flurry of heavy, heavy bass. Obviously this isn&#8217;t a totally new thing for me &#8211; I have mined this seam before in my mixes <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2011\/12\/pearsall-taste-the-rainbow\/\">Taste The Rainbow<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2013\/12\/pearsall-presents-machines-in-love-uk-bass\/\">Machines In Love<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2014\/04\/pearsall-presents-the-robots-are-restless-a-boddika-tribute-record-store-day-special\/\">The Robots Are Restless<\/a>, and, to a degree, in <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2013\/01\/pearsall-presents-drop-the-hammer-9\/\">Drop The Hammer 9<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I actually really like this kind of music, but I don&#8217;t buy it frequently enough to pretend that I can do any kind of comprehensive &#8216;upfront&#8217; mix, so every now and then I enjoy just throwing together some bits from my collection for the sake of my own listening. I mean, let&#8217;s get real &#8211; some of the tunes I&#8217;ve used here are both pretty old and pretty overplayed. But that&#8217;s ok, I&#8217;m just a hobbyist putting together mixes for my own enjoyment; well, and for other peoples&#8217; enjoyment too. I can&#8217;t lie and claim that I don&#8217;t enjoy getting positive feedback on the mixes, obviously that&#8217;s a big part of why I put these mixes online!<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I am quite pleased with this mix &#8211; I deliberately tried to mix up the styles on this one, and I hope that I have succeeded in joining the dots between Wen&#8217;s weird spacey grime, Addison Groove&#8217;s chugging juke, S-X&#8217;s thundering trap, the crunchy electro vibes of Jon Convex, Trevino, Trusta, and Untold, Royal T&#8217;s beatless grime, the dark house of Boddika and Joy Orbison, and the slowed-down jungle mayhem from Dismantle, Skream and Special Request.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, that&#8217;s all I have to say about this mix &#8211; it&#8217;s just a little thing I banged together last weekend, and I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>Next up over the next few months: Mala tribute, No U-Turn tribute, post-2000 acid house and techno mix, Nuclear Hyde tribute, maybe some more jungle, and God knows, lots of other stuff!<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_3736\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3736\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
