Since 2016, London based Forest Drive West has been building a rapidly growing catalogue of releases, receiving critical acclaim for records on labels such as Livity Sound, Hidden Hawaii and Rupture London. He's a dope selector too. Enjoy!

ITPS068 FOREST DRIVE WEST

my dj set recorded live on a radio station that I have now pulled ties with due to their failure to stand up for Palestine and for censoring pro-palestine artists.
you can't find the youtube streams or recordings of these online anywhere else.

free Palestine, from the river to the sea <3 

recorded live 30/08/22

This is part 1 of 3 of the recording from my set at Nowadays Nonstop on April 7, 2024.

I played from 9am-3pm, between JASSS and Bearcat, and it was one of the most creatively fulfilling sets I can remember playing – one of those sets where the audience, environment, atmosphere, tech setup, phase of the moon, whatever, all somehow lined up for a full 6 hours. And happily, the recording is maybe my favorite I’ve managed to capture to date. Huge thanks to Kristin for inviting me and to everyone who was there that morning.

Cynthia Matisse @ Charles Bronson / 15.11.2024

deep, dubby and groove-filled session from one of our favourite artists who’s music we can’t get enough of, andy martin.

andy has such a distinctive sound, it’s so easy to recognise one of his tracks in a mix as he bridges together his mexican and jamaican roots through a futuristic style that spans across techno and dub leaning towards rich textural influences. it’s honestly quite hard for me to go a mix or radio show without including one of his andy’s tracks. his output is strong with his first release out in 2009 and has been steady ever since! whether that’s self-released, via his imprint mole audio, that he runs alongside didier dlb and where you’ll find collaborations with lee scratch perry and gavsborg, via labels such as ssensorial and discos movimiento or his ambient works which have led to andy performing in musuems, art galleries and festivals like mutek. there’s a touch of andy martin in every corner.

Untitled 909 Podcast 222: Andy Martin

Fever AM with Rhyw & Gonno - 26 April 2025

For this set I played on 4 CDJ 3000’s and a V10 mixer, using both of its internal effects processors. For every No Way Back set, and for most sets, I try to prepare new hardware remasters and edits of things that I think would be fascinating recontextualized in this setting. But for NWB, it is even more special, a peak moment, so I try to have new records I’m working on in the studio to test out. For this set that means the hardware mixes I’ve been working on for Torrvo and for Andy Toth can be tested, I’m working on this hardware mixing and remastering tone palate, so I spread that to some edits to give them a whole new power. Playing at No Way Back cannot be put into words, though we try every year, it really is inexplicable without experiencing it. It’s the environment you most want to be in, the space is totally transformed, the sound is dialed in, the audience is so ready, very giving and open, and the feedback you get is incredible. People are up for a ride – we start at the Tangent and end up going to the other side of the universe. Freedom within and without. There’s no place I’d rather be, so I thought I’d share this much sooner than we usually do. Enjoy the ride.

@polygonia shares a mind-melting and expansive mix accompaniment to her new album 'Dream Horizons' on @dkmntl, on which she flexes full creative freedom.

"A reflection of shifting dreamscapes, this mix traces the arc of 'Dream Horizons', my new album on Dekmantel. It mirrors the album’s wide stylistic and tempo range — traversing pulses, textures, and energies, swelling into a feverish rush before breaking apart and exhaling into a halftime echo. Genres dissolve and reemerge not as contrasts, but as fragments of a shared vision."
