More fresh beats, this time for March 2026 and we’ve got some absolute pearlers for you. Kicking things off Amoss’ lowkey growler Ghost Signals mixed into MC Fats & Inja’s good time tune Good Good Rhythm. Rainforest has released an uncharacteristically dark LP on Offish astutely called Murk Patterns, from which we have Ashen and the title track.

Shouts to Andy Odysee for his barnstorming The Moving Finger 2026 from Broken Circuitry Vol. 7. Cymatix – G-Force is a bone rattling good time from his recent Unfinished Business LP. Out The Dance is a sneak peak of from the forthcoming album on The North Quarter by Lenzman & Redeyes, The Quiet Space Between. Speaking of collabs, Space Cadet & Footnotes get together for a joint release in the form of Brave Hearts by DRS & Zar and featuring vocals by Aya Dia.

On the classics side of things we have AK1200 – Juniors Tune (Digital Remix) into A Sides feat. MC Fats stone cold Arctic.
A sneaky unreleased Rufige Kru remix of lan Brown’s – Illegal Attacks which fits like a glove with Blocks & Escher – This One.

Even though February is a short month it hasn’t been short on great music with killah tracks from artists old and new. Calibre kicks us off with his remix of Chopin featuring Sun Ra Arkestra. Mineral dropped his Echoes Of Departure EP on Modern Convenience with the 8 minute plus epic The Quiet Beneath being a standout.

A lot of OG headz dropped new tracks in February including Kemal’s  return to D&B with Dom on the Dom and Friends EP and their nasty roller The Seed. Total Science joined forces with Kubla for Rack ’em Up on CIA and Breakage combined with Riko Dano to drop their jungle tinged banger CTRL on DIgital Soundboy.

It doesn’t get more classic than Cool Hand Flex’s rave staple Melody Madness and we’re treated to the lesser heard Outrage AWOL Remix and a fresh 2020s take by Bladerunner. And last but not least we dropped the tempo for some Dub love from DOA’s own Rollin who’s Wonky saw a reinterpretation by Duder in the form of the  Warm & Easy Remix off the exceptional Dubs on Acid – Volume Three. If you like Dub then you need this LP, not just because proceeds go to a good cause, but because the music is head noddingly great.

I kicked off The Ear & Drum in December 2008 with the intent of slinging up the odd mix and highlighting the artists I was feeling at any given moment. 17 years later almost to the day I’ve hit my 300th mix, and to celebrate I thought I’d throw down all the tunes over the past couple of years that I thought were extra special.

There is too many to go into, but know that this 2.5hrs is what you would get if you stuck me in front of a crowd and said, ‘Play whatever you want.’ There’s no given genres here, just a selection of absolute choons mixed within an inch of their lives.

To any and all who have supported the blog down the years, thank you so much and this one is for you.
