Here’s another concept mix of mine, this time focusing on futuristic flavours in todays Drum’n’Bass. In the recent years there has been a fair amount of progressive glitch / idm / minimal / techno influenced sound coming mainly out of Neurofunk / Technoid scene and we can also see harder D’n’B camp crossing over to more experimental territories especially in regards to drum patterns. This set aims to showcase such tracks which I think are often pinned under neuro/angerstep tag and kind of slept on.
Techniquewisely I tried to match the complexities of tunes used so there are a lot of cuts, tricks and unusual blends, sounds flowing in and out of each other etc. The purpose here was to go slightly beyond the formula of a standard promo mix and really merge the elements together to create a perfect listening machinery…
…which is also reflected by the mix’s cover. Partial inspiration here was Goldie’s Saturnzreturn album art with its skull-like device which made (at least me) wonder what exactly is it I see.
Right, enough talking – here it is:
