The Sounds Of The Innerground CD

XRS and Marky's Innerground imprint has long been a reliable source of summery drum and bass. Here, the duo collates some of the label's best output to date across two discs (one unmixed, the other mixed). Although the mix is impressive, it's the first, unmixed disc that really stands out. As you'd expect, there's plenty of soulful shufflers, where the musical goodness is only matched by the energy of the skittering junglist rhythms. Of the plentiful highlights, check Random Movement's sun-flecked "Down Somehow", Marky's delicious "A Disco Funk Organization", Submorphics soaring, string-laden "Summer Soul" and T>I's sub-heavy roller "2nd Chance".
