Here’s an episode that returns us to the well-trod path of drum’n’bass music, most of it Autonomic in variety. Things start out oldschool with Roni Size and his Reprazent project. Next up is Astrophonica label-head Fracture, except from an EP out on Autonomic powerhouse Exit Records. After that, a track from Lightless Records head Fanu,…

Tune in tomorrow night, Wednesday the 17th, at 11 Eastern/8 Pacific for a brand new episode! This one is drum’n’bass, mostly of the Autonomic variety, plus a rather random curveball to keep everyone on their respective tarsals. Yup, this boy has secured himself another compilation! A new one from Samurai Records, celebrating a decade of…

Another exercise in offensively eclectic, this episode begins with Chicago shoegaze and ends with Trukish psych-rock. In between it visits some hip hop (in ironic celebration of my newfound Insulin resistance), some French disco, some Latinx club, some Hard Drum, some techno-produced hip hop, some deconstructed club, some club remixes of various provenance (R&B, Russian…

This episode ran a little long. Seven minutes or so. The main idea was to do a Plaid sandwich, with the album version of “Maru” at the beginning and the excellent Orbital remix of the same at the end. So when the (also excellent) penultimate track, “Inside of Me,” went over time, I plowed forward.…

And so, this episode, at least to an extent, felt like me relearning how to do a mix. Which is odd, since I only took a week off. Possibly the retro feel is due to the subject matter, which takes us back in time somewhere between four and twelve years. Yes, this is shamefully, shamelessly…

There was a time not too long ago when almost every episode was footwork and jungle and the area where the two genres have been bleeding into each other of late. Drum’n’Werk, 160 BPM. I had to force myself to do anything else. This episode, after a short break, returns to that territory. No fewer…

“if you call that music…” Yeah, so I’m over a month late getting this episode posted up here. I’m kinda running out of things to say, I feel like? This episode is 140 BPM. It has some grime, it has some d******, it has some faster-paced future club, as would be expected for such a…

A Step to the Music episode that… well, it’s another 160 BPM episode. It starts with 90’s D’n’B and ends with 90’s D’n’B. In between it’s a mix of Footwork and Autonomic, a tour of the zone where juke and jungle collide and swap flava like a jambolaya. Once again, this mix hits HARD! Roni…

This episode pokes around the Hard Drum area of hybrid club music. Things start off with Ballroom House auteur LSDXOXO’s remix of Missy Elliott, and from there launches into a spree of African-inspired rhythms. Things wrap up with Jersey Club auteur DJ Jayhood, before winding down with some French trap. The mix is fast-paced and…

This latest episode starts with a wash of gentle surf and ends with a wash of applause. In between it goes all over the place, taking some odd routes. The idea I went into it with was taking episode 143’s description of “Jungle vs Footwork” and making it a bit more of a fair fight.…
