Mix: Quexotic Cover: Progressive Drum’n’Bliss Special:
live on NSB 31st Jan 2011

Covering for Beatmassa’s show, it was a beautiful sunny afternoon here in Southampton so I took the opportunity to pig out on delicious daytime DnB.

If you like this, don’t forget to check out Chilliquid Drum’n’Bliss if you haven’t already – by popular demand, there will be a followup to that one coming at some point… but in the meantime, here’s 2.5 hours of pure drum’n’bliss for your pleasure…

Oh, and a casual glance at the Label column below should explain why I’ve just gone and added Camino Blue to the watchlist…

Ali Mobius had been rolling some tasty dnb on the show before this one, so I decided to carry on in that vein.
Kicking off with the kind of laidback progressive dnb that I touted on my mix Chilliquid Drum’n’Bliss, then getting tougher, glitchier, more psychedelic and neurofunked, before the time machine circuits kicked in and we pay a visit to some absolutely classic mid-90s dnb, jungle, and then further back to the sound of the underground that first got me dancing, early 90s oldskool breakbeat hardcore. Bring the noise!

Mix: Chilliquid Drum’n’Bliss

Here’s something a little different for you… laidback deep and progressive dnb, minimal to liquid, designed to soundtrack a sunny day. I didn’t plan it this way (well, I didn’t plan it at all, I never do…) but it’s ended up dominated by just two recently-released EPs: New Blood 010 on Med School, and Lm1’s Blue Mountain EP on Offworld. But perhaps the fact that I’ve built almost a whole mix from them just serves to highlight the quality and variety on offer from those labels at the moment. Between this sort of thing and the twisted psychedelic techstep and neurofunk I’ve been pushing on my shows for a while, the prospects are looking good for a renaissance of inventive and beautiful dnb this year… as is the case with breaks. This is shaping up to be an amazing year of breaking new ground with the broken beat.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this little mix. As always I’d love your feedback. If it pushes your buttons, don’t forget that I now regularly serve up a slice of the tastiest dnb alongside the future breaks at 7pm UK time on the first and third Saturdays of every month on NSB Radio.
