MISTAJAM PLAYS ‘THE EVE OF THE WAR’ ON RADIO 1 & 1XTRA

MistaJam played ‘The Eve of The War’ on his Saturday Radio 1 & 1Xtra simulcast show.

After the play MistaJam said, “We were just talking in the studio about the first time that we heard the original ‘War Of The Worlds’ (he makes a raspberry sound), that’s basically what it made me do, aliens are coming, aliens are coming. That’s Drumsound and Bassline Smith taking the new ‘War Of The Worlds’ to a Drum & Bass realm. Liam Neason never sounded so ravey.”
