I found a nice mix between this, one of the songs of Burial's first album and Icicle's Breathing Again.

I've always found Jungle to be a shit to mix. Anyone who can mix Acid Rain VIP by Equinox is a god in my eyes.

it's almost impossible to mix with dubstep most times - you will quickly recon that it works better with house music around 120-125 bpm. most his stuff is around this tempo ;)
you can mix Distant lights (kode9 rmx) as well as pirates and unite (they are all quantised and 138-140bpm)....gutted is doable as its 137bpm but tough as far as untrue is concerned archangel, near dark and homeless are the only tunes mixable with dubstep but you need to pitch chase constantly and confidently as its not made on a grid and isnt quantised so it has no regular exact tempo but it is doable

ego / mirror actually mixes perfectly with dubstep but at about +8 and is quantised....

if you like burial and want more stuff thats easy to mix at dubstep tempo check out Late & Clubroot

ive snuck pirates and gutted in to a few mixes. only at house parties mind when its very late/early and if you grand national it, it doesnt matter.

would love to find a place for etched headplate in a mix. pretty much my number 1 burial tune of all time

How is this hard, for 99% of dubstep its pitch up just a tad (.7 ish) and its in time... as a side note, double drops with footcrab or dj q remix of woo really well

Conventional tunes have a 24 bar intro. Eyez' intro is 28 bars long, with four bars of silence leading into the drop. I guess all you need to do is start the tune 4 bars earlier than normal, but that's easier said than done if you like to mix out of the second drop of the previous tune, which often has a beat-less breakdown..And you have the SHITTEST DECKS KNOWN TO MAN.
