Grit & Sugar - my first proper non-d&b mix as Ben XO… I've been finding a lot of the gritty/nasty electro stuff quite inspiring lately, and Noisia's 130bpm stuff is mint. Been listening to my friend Tom Miller (aka The Digitalist) on Digitally Imported's Electro House channel as well, and here's the result of a little splurging on Juno / Trackitdown / Beatport and a little scrounging online…
