this is super siiick! what's this chune? lovin this mix G !

Destination USA! For the latest expedition in our 1 More Mix series, we head all the way to Philadelphia for this almighty D&B session from Des McMahon.

A man of many shades and styles over the years; in many ways his musical journey reflects the development of bass culture in the US from moombahton to dubstep to drum & bass. 

In the past he’s managed Reid Speed’s evergreen Play Me Records and taught at the renowned Icon Collective production school but more recently he’s been focusing on his own craft and specialising in drum & bass.

An early protagonist in the current wave of North American D&B – a territory where the genre is reaching exciting new peaks not witnessed in at least two decades – Des played his last multi-genre set while supporting Skrillex in the mid 2010s. 

Focussing fully on D&B, despite industry peers telling him he was making a mistake, he’s now a frontrunner in the new generation of headliners in America alongside the likes of Justin Hawkes, Reaper, AIRGLO and Skellytn, who he actually use to teach.

In light of his new release on his own label Des McMahon Music – Epitaph / Hard Truth – we caught up with Des to chat about his career so far, the rise of D&B in America and the importance of DIY culture. Listen to the mix, look at all the words, get acquainted in our exclusive interview: https://1-more-thing.co.uk/audio/1-more-mix-056-des-mcmahon/
