live on NSB 4th Jan 2014

The first half of this show is dedicated to one of our all-too-rare forays into the world of deep drum’n’bass, starting with leftfield autonomic/progressive and gradually getting tougher and trippier; we then switch into psybreaks, and finish off with some tasty midtempo glitch. There’s some really beautiful tunes in here that I never normally get a chance to play, I urge you to check it out with an open mind.

DnB special
live on NSB 18th Feb 2012

One of our all-too-occasional DnB specials… focusing on the Offworld-style progressive vibe (with plenty from that wonderful label), this is optimised for a sunny afternoon, albeit with a little bit of growl towards the end…

(By the way, if you like this, you might also like this and this…)

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…

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.
