With the end of the mixtape era due to advances in CD technology, there was a death, in a sense, of getting a mix that featured a different style of electronic music on each side. It was almost as if you were receiving two distinct, yet complimentary mixes at the same time. The Back2Back Sessions is a conscious return to the essence and lost art of the mixtape. Each BACK2BACK series displays 2 DJs giving their own unique treatment to a 35-40 minute mix with MC XYZ lacing the mixes with his words.

B2B Vol 4 - SHORTEE:
On the decks right now from Los Angeles, CA representing Urban Assault. Back2Back Sessions Vol. 4 jumps off with the ill stylings of DJ Shortee!!! Shortees mix is nothing short of a whirlwind tour through drum n bass with a splash of hip hop as she brings her tablism skills to this high energy mix. Shortees selection of songs will please the ear of most drum n bass heads who like high energy variety filled with double drop madness. Songs like Gangsta Jazz run at a million miles per hour while Craze and Infiltratas Gangstas give the mix a rough LA style touch to it. And not only does she give us the massive Nervous but serves up the Subfocus remix blended with Fresh's original! The true skills of Shortee, though, comes through as she shows off her world class scratchin skills over drum n bass (which any tablist will tell you is not the easiest genre to tackle)! Using the turntables as an instrument to compliment drum n bass music sets this mix and Shortee apart from most. The mixes, cuts and scratches all unite at warp speed so dont blink throughout this mix cause you may miss something special, boom!!!

B2B Vol 4 - ORIGIN:
Side B of Vol. IV sees Origin deliver a mix that one would expect from one of the USAs top producer/DJs; one laced with exclusive previews, remixes and soon to be released material mixed seamlessly in a way to cater to heads across the spectrum of drum n bass!!! This mix features some top notch production talents from some of Americas top flight guys behind the computer and mixing board. Basic Operation & Dopplers, Restless is an eerie song whos drums keep it running like a marathon while the Gridlok produced Fingerprints is a move to an aggressive edgy sound for anyone who wants to give their speaker cones a workout! The Origin produced Tron is a standout tune whos mood shifts when the sound (listen and youll find it) comes in and takes the entire song down into something a bit deeper. Not only does the mix use the works of some of the best producers stateside but also some of the top MCs. With the likes of MC J-Messinian, MC Dino, MC Sharpness and MC Dre (who blazes an Infiltrata with Hochi tune, so much so we cant give it all to you, ha) on tracks, this mix also embodies the potential of drum n bass when a producer and MC work side by side to create something. Turn your speakers up and dont adjust the sound on this one!!!
