VA - Drum & Bass Selection Volume 6 (Collector’s Edition)

The Worlds First Ever Drum & Bass titled album brand, the legendary trailblazing compilation album from the inception of D&B returns! For many it was their first introduction into D&B and Jungle, and as the worlds first ever TV advertised Jungle or D&B album it holds an important place in the expansion of the genre. Now the Drum & Bass Selection Series takes off from where we last visited the brand… straight into Volume 6 as if its never been away!

Drum & Bass Selection Vinyl Collectors Edition is packed this time with collectible foundation tracks hailing from the period of the creation of this iconic album series and the evolution of Jungle to Drum & Bass, cut with two tracks per side on heavyweight black vinyl for DJ use.

The triumphant return is a must for all collectors and especially vinyl completists that loved the original series of releases, and as you’d expect its packed full of exquisitely curated D&B cuts from some of the jungle music scenes most recognised producers. This amazing compilation collects together foundation jungle pioneers such as Mampi Swift, Dextrous, Marley Marl, Dubtronix, Sponge, and Cool Hand Flex.
