Commix – Dusted (Selected Works 2003-2008)

Outfits like Commix come once in a lifetime, so anytime we can peer into what they’re working on when they aren’t creating their varying masterpieces, like their seminal debut album Call To Mind. Seemingly birthed by their appearance on Radio 1 with Fabio (where they ran through a bunch of unreleased bits), the demand for their locked-down tracks from the five year span of 2003-2008 must have been deafening. So, here you go. 12 awe-inspiring slices of vibrant Drum & Bass from years gone by, from some of the scene’s brightest. The Commix boys had this to say about the project:

“When we wrote ‘Call To Mind’ we really wanted to make sure every tune on the album worked as part of the whole. We wrote loads of tracks and some of them just wouldn’t have worked on the album. Tracks like ‘Golden’ came close to being on there, but we worked really hard to make sure everything on ‘Call To Mind’ fitted together perfectly.

‘Dusted’ is a collection of music that we made at that time, all of which didn’t appear on the finished product. We get asked so often about all of these and now that we’re working on a new album we thought it was time to let these ones go. This is the end of an era for Commix and our next album will be the start of a brand new one for CMX.”

Dusted (Selected Works 2003-2008) ([METHCD015]) is due out March 5th on Metalheadz.
