Reminiscing on the golden age of drum & bass with this record on the 25th anniversary of the DJ-Kicks series.
Stenny – Upsurge
Starts off as an IDM thing, then at some point turns into a drum and bass thing.
Calibre – Planet Hearth
Downtempo bass music for relaxation and early morning or late night walks.
Yak – Termina EP
I could swear I heard at least half of these tracks in the past decade. In the crossroads of “nothing new” and “sounds classic”. Anyhow, Stampede is something that’s new and instantly recognizable – soundtrack to a car chase in an action movie.
Throwing Snow – Loma
First got hooked on this one when I was looking for something with broken beats and jungle rhythms, and I was happy to find this record. But then there are quite some flavors of electronics piled up here, all pretty much good flavors.
Skee Mask – Compro
From ambient to rhythmic noise to breakbeat.
Richard Spaven - The Self
Some tracks are not for me on this one, but the one titled Law is just amazing. Post-rock meets breakbeat meets jazz.
Touchy Subject - Skyward EP
IDM infused with some glitches and breakcore beats and jungle rythm and dub. Surprisingly powerful, exciting.
