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.
