Summary: DJ Shadow, Roots Manuva, Martyn, Kahn, Raadsel, Sam KDC ++ monthly DnB mix w Beatski.
This weeks mention has to go to the Calibre, with Beatski featuring 4 tracks from the Irishman during his mix… including tracks from his latest long player Condition (Signature). We will continue to feature the release on the program over the coming weeks. (If new to the program/blog, Beatski hosts a monthly drum’n’bass session on the second program of every month)
Condition is my drum and bass follow up to EVEN IF. I originally wanted to make an album that was more dance floor influenced, to have a more light hearted approach, in some ways it has that, but I couldn’t stop myself from making the deeper material. For years I have wrestled with the subtle side of drum and bass, my journey has been one that tries to attain the simple groove, to keep removing the layers of this music, this album is an expression of this, and how I’m still feeling the underdog waiting for the cycle… it came about as it always has and thats the way its supposed to, enjoyable and moving fast to discover the stillness.
