In what could, possibly, be the biggest story in drum & bass circles is the apparent return of Kemal. If you’re relatively new to D&B, then you might not be aware of how big this is for the scene. Kemal and his production partner, Rob Data, aka Konflict, smashed every dance in the late 90s […]
You know what you do when you’re jacked up on caffeine and feel like you could move mountains with just your brain, but you need a suitably dark soundtrack to do it? You listen to a mix by techstep don, Technical Itch. If you like what you hear, hop on over to his Bandcamp page and […]
The long running partnership of Houston, Tx’s own dynamic dnb duo of Arqer and Realtime have always been synonymous with quality tracks with their own unique flavor. Many do not know they are both percussion educators when not working on production and have released their debut album, “Crossroads” on Patrol the Skies Music this year […]

DJ Flight – Calibre Tracklist: Uncut – Chinese Silk (Calibre Remix) Calibre – Vice Version – Hustle Calibre – Light Years Calibre – Breathe Calibre […]
One of the blessings of this blog is that I’m inundated with new music on a weekly basis. Some of it is fantastic and some of it just okay, but I know that, whatever I think of it, someone else put in a lot of time and effort making it. Ultimately I am very thankful […]
There’s a small atmospheric drum and bass community on Reddit (/r/AtmosphericDnB) that I follow and one of the users put together this wonderful little collaborative playlist that he’s titled Intelligent DnB. There’s a ton of golden era atmospheric inside and outside the realm of GLR/LGR’s back catalog and it clocks in at more than 48 […]
Earlier this week, DJ Barely Legal posted her recent mix from BBC Radio1’s Diplo & Friends show. It’s a fucking banger and you need to listen to the whole thing as she seamlessly blends a lot of high quality bass genres. Just click the link below to be taken to the BBC page for a […]
Just a smooth lil rollers mix from Paul T & Edward Oberon to start off your Monday.
