The Down Low: Session 058

Leave a comment

It has been the longest time since I’ve dropped a Down Low, but it’s good to be back. These are lower BPM sets dedicated to tunes that aren’t D&B, but mainly produced by D&B artists. This time around we have some downbeat, house, techno, chill-out and even a bit of trip-hop.

On the D&B producers not producing D&B list we have Ivy Lab kicking us off with Lucy and Olo from the Infinite Falling Ground P.t 2 LP along with Naibu with Minato from his incredible San Soleil LP, both from last year.  Bristol duo Mystic State features heavily with My Only, Pt. 18. Il, Alocasia and Close 2 Me on the highly under-rated Chikara Project label’s Connections Vol. 2 compilation from back in ’23.

A percy of mine has always been the amazing trip-hop mix of D’Cruise’s Sega Rally from the bonkers ’96 Club Saturn compilation, as is the bass monster Closer by Photek released by Tectonic in ’11. Rounding us out for D&B artists is Rainforest’s Legacy from last year’s Ascended Warrior LP and Hyroglifics’s Hotwire from his ’23 I’ll Wait, I Guess LP.

13th Way (Yin)

I missed doing one of these in 2024, so the 13th and 14th Way i did together, recorded in Liverpool, summer 2025.

This way – the 13th Way – is Yin…more ambient…but there’s still a bit of NRG towards the end!

Good for bathing, walking, looking out of a window…

Ear & Drum: Session 293 – Dusting Off

Leave a comment

I recently did an all Calibre remix set and was alerted by Silent Dust of None60 Records fame, that I had missed not one, but two Calibre remixes of his tunes on the label. Now I knew None60 because of their excellent Government Fun – Hours EP and a few of their other releases, but I really didn’t know much about Silent Dust. So down the rabbit hole I went…

It turns out Silent Dust & DRS – Refuse (Calibre Remix) is one of THE Calibre remixes I’ve been hunting for the longest time. And it also turns out that Silent Dust is also an incredible D&B (and Hip Hop) producer with a style very much in my wheelhouse. So two album purchases and a great deal of listening later, I have produced this all Silent Dust mix to a) make up for missing out on these in my former mix and b) because you really need to hear some of these tune!

Andy, this one is for you.

DOA Infinitely Slow Mix 2021

Leave a comment

8DJs, 80+ tunes and nearly 4hrs of tunes.

This is the slower 140BPM version of the DOA Infinite series that sees a bunch of talented DJs taking turns in going back-to-back across the internet and the globe.

To say this is a bunch of eclectic tunes is doing this mix a major disservice, and if you’re looking for something that is going to introduce to some new music and artists then this is exactly where you want to start!

The Down Low: Session 042

3 Comments

Back on the Down Low with a mix dedicated to one of electronic music’s best kept secrets Synkro. This man’s ability to lock in a groove and still keep a laid back vibe is second to none and I heartily suggest you track down some of his amazing music.

This mix is definitely for laying back and chillaxing to, so perfect for the weekend and after hours cru. I love all the stuff in here, but if I had to call out some tracks Synkro’s – Look at Yourself is a slice of house perfection, Future Sounds of London’s – Cascade remixed by Odyssia treats a classic with the respect it deserves and Photo’s – Totem is a dance floor monster while still staying relaxed in vibe. A very neat trick.

I hope you get as much out of listening to this one as I did mixing it. It is possibly my favourite Down Low Session so far so kick back and enjoy the ride.

Tender – Ear & Drum Session 147

Leave a comment

Bringing you a bit if a mixed bag this time around. A lot of the tunes here are from the exceptional New Blood 018 compilation from Medschool. For those that don’t know, New Blood is an annual release of fresh talent and unheard of producers and this years release was the best in a looong time so I had to throw down a mix to celebrate.

We have some Trap stye D&B on Tender Love by the oddly named A. Fruit, UK Grime inspired Who Run Tingz by Trigga & Chimpo and whole host of deeper beats from the likes of Amoss, Martsman and Dom & Roland.

Tender – 1hr of Fresh Beats

A. Fruit – Tender Love
SQUASH! – One!
OX7GEN – Trinity
Marcus Intalex – Ninety One
Martsman – Krine
Dom & Roland – A Broken Heart
Amoss – Flat Spots

Trigga & Chimpo – Who Run Tingz
Martsman – Kickoff
Blocks & Escher – Something Borrowed, Something Blue
Dexcell – Without You (Anile Remix)
Amoss – Timedrops
