MIXED BY Calculon + Dave Owen

In junglist lingo, one might refer to Calculon and Dave Owen as a couple of "badman selectas." You would follow this by making your fingers into the shape of tiny guns and yelling "boh boh boh" and jumping up and down in front of the turntables. Today's mix is a tough selection of lightning jungle breaks (put down by Dave in the second half of the mix) tethered to futuristic rhythms for an au courant take on the timeless drum and bass sound, offered by Calculon in the first half of the show. Yes, it's a tag-team people. You ready to strap on those camouflage cargo pants?

Touching on footwork syncopations, screwfaced hip-hop swagger, and lovely R&B hooks, these two DJs takes us to the outer limits of the 160 BPM sector—a welcome palate cleanser if you've spent the weekend stuck in an endless house groove like I have. Buddies Calculon and Dave Owen are fresh from ripping SXSW alongside other characters like Slick Shoot, Umbertron, Chrissy Murderbot and friends at the Loose Squares SXSW jumpoff this past Friday, so we're geeked to share our exclusive mix so we can say you heard it here first!
