After an episode of bad vibes and an episode of good vibrations, this episode forgoes any commentary on The Troubles and just focuses on the drum and the bass. Several Bandcamp Day purchases from Samurai and Methlab form the backbone, which supports everything from Autonomic brooders to Finnish bangers to Brazilian rockers, before ending up…

This is ostensibly a drum’n’bass episode, and for the central chunk of its running length it behaves accordingly. HOWEVER, the path it takes to get there meanders for a bit through rockstep, hip hop, and some dance-y post-hardcore. The other end of the mix walks back down a similar path, through sped-up footwork and motorik…

Eh! Oh! It’s another 160 BPM episode! As usual, that means some footwork, some neo-jungle, some straight DnB, and a little bit of dance rock (in this case, the bread on this drum’n’werk sammitch). What else is there to say? It slams, and the coda brings the funky motorik goodness. Is it just needlessly repetitive…

This episode starts things off with a protean track from Morwell, which spins through various permutations of jungle breaks. From there, we’re once again in drum’n’werk territory, sliding around between footwork and 160 BPM drum’n’bass, finding all the gradients of cross-influence in between. Heavily represented are Fracture, who appears with a track off his recent…

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…

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…

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 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.…
