Got a message from NSE lately in which he asked me to blog his latest mix. Sure thing for me because he already got me with those 49 minutes of proper beats. It’s worth two or three listens so grab it as long as you are able to.
Thirty eclectic minutes of bass music delivered by the Dutch Icicle who is probably one of the most skilled producers Drum & Bass has seen to date.
This week we’ve got Hamburg-resident Skyence on the ones and twos. I only discovered his stuff recently, but I’m already a massive fan – check out his myspace page to hear his blend of dubstep, soul and deep electronics; I can’t wait for ‘Definition’ to be released – it’s not often you come across a new artist who is not only really good, but also boasts immaculate production skills. Definitely one to watch in 2010, and as I mentioned before, don’t forget to check the free Echodub album which features his stuff. Thanks to Skyence for this mix – hope you enjoy it!

Had this mix on my hard-drive for a few months now. Definitely deserves to be posted here. Keep an eye on Skyence. He’s working on his album right now!
Head-nodder! Out on Downbeat Productions.
Sound is a bit distorted due to live recording. Should be out later this year. Original is a freebie on XLR8R!

This week heralds the release of their debut album, Crooks & Lovers, which sees Campos and Maker spread their loose and dreamy sound over a short but sweet 35 minutes. They’ve been busy touring with their current live set-up, recently playing at Berghain for Sub:stance’s 2nd birthday, but this week’s RA podcast sees the pair eschew the instruments for a specially tailored showcase of where their musical heads are right now. We shot them an e-mail to ask about the mix, plans for DJing in the future and their current live show.
