Second mix of the day, and it's one which has been on repeat for days on end. I discovered it by accident, and I've been hooked ever since. Yes, it might look like a mystery mix, as the title doesn't really explain much. Guessing it the date on which this mix was composed. But nothing else can be relayed from the title. It's a mystery, until you actually press play, and in an instant, you are immersed into the world of Jungle, Drum & Bass, and Breakbeat. And that's a wonderful world to be in, right?

The mix was made by Random One. And if I'm brutally honest, I don't know who's behind the name. I might have started following this individual on Soundcloud because of a previous mix, but the name does not really ring a bell. I've tried, but cannot find a previous mix or review. So, even though Random One has got a shit ton of mixes on Soundcloud, this is my introduction. And he's certainly not stopping: mix after mix being published.

I went into this mix blindly, and came out a happier man. As said, it's a nice mixture of Jungle, Drum & Bass, and Breakbeat. And while the first mix of the day was focussed on House Classics, and when I wrote it, the sky looked bleak and it was miserable, during this current mix, the weather has turned: the sun is shining, still cloudy, but nice and pleasant outside. Is that maybe a sign, for you to listen to this mix? A sign from above?

A very solid mix. Looking at the tracklist, it didn't get me too excited, as none of these names rang a bell . But the music, that's certainly more important here, right? And the music, is very good.

The mix is 70 minutes long, but certainly not boring. Random One takes you on a journey, and it's a pleasant journey. Not too hard, but also not too soft. The right speed, and the right amount of BASS. It's a very good mix to check out, with a great intro track, but also a fantastic end track, which I have to say, is certainly my favourite one. 'Equilibrium'. I could fall asleep, just listening to this song. Beautiful.

Random One's mix is a pleasant one to end the Monday with, and start the next day. Unless you don't like any of these songs. In which case, you can sod off. If you don't know what good music is, and you don't like any of these songs, I dont know how to assist you, or help you in general.

Check this one out right now! You'll thank me (and Random One) later!
