Crissy Criss brings you a free super 7hr drum and bass mix!
Drum and Bass | Thursday 16th July 2015 | CHEF
One of drum & bass’ most important ambassadors, Crissy Criss has become an established force both in the studio and the DJ booth. Now after touring the UK and smashing venue after venue, one of the scene's most exciting selectors has found the time to put together Altitude; a seven hour snapshot capturing the energy and variety of drum & bass.
A new breed of mix, Altitude is the first blend from Crissy Criss after leaving Radio 1 - and it's well worth the wait: "I kept quiet for just short of a year, with no online mixes after having a weekly platform at BBC. I wanted to do something special – something that hasn't been done. I'm all for doing something different and all for putting the work in for the most unique genre of our day."
Featuring tunes from labels such as Hospital, Ram, Technique and Viper to name just a few, Crissy Criss pulls no punches, and uses a seven hour canvas to paint an ever changing, sonic picture. Packed with exclusive new music and dubs from exciting acts like The Prototypes, Optiv & BTK, Bad Company UK, TC, Taxman, Kove and more, Altitude also includes brand new productions from the man himself. As you'd expect from someone known for breaking new artists, Altitude squeezes in deadly tracks from upcoming names such as Etherwood, Skope, Kronology, Sinprint and Signs and many more.
Featuring legendary basslines from tracks like Mind Vortex’s ‘Against the Grain’ and Dimension’s ‘Whip Slap', as well as synths from arena fillers like 'Out The Blue (feat Alice Gold)' and hooks from anthems like 'Mr Happy', 'No Problem' and Andy C & Shimon’s classic 'NightFlight', Altitude is one of the most exciting mixes you'll hear this year.
The product of years of turntable mastery and one of the most exciting times for drum and bass, Altitude will give every junglist a seven hour shot in the arm, and give new heads a taste of the most varied, growing and authentic scenes on the planet. Crissy Criss had this to say about the mix: "To be honest, I just wanted to play some music. I wanted to bring the club energy and mixing style that comes out of me and make it accessible around the world to everyone, for free."
