Not liquid, just vocal...

Not too hard, not too soft...    Just right.

Thanks.

Drum & Bass Sessions - Nearest Misses

Let's get dark, this time, compliments of Trex...  Joe Kehoe has been crafting dance floor weaponry for quite some time.  He has releases on a plethora of labels including Dispatch, Audioporn, Mac II, Critical, and Metalheadz.  He also runs his own label- Trust Audio.  His basses are unique and rib-rattling and he never fails to deliver.  I can't wait to hear what he does next...

If you are here then you probably already know his music, if not check him out here @djtrex.

D&BS - Hello Dark E09 - Trex

He creates dark, deep, pristine minimal-funk...

It's the one and only DUNK.

Dunk is a prolific producer with bangers on labels such as Dispatch, Encrypted Sound, Pick the Lock, C.I.A., Grid, and V Recordings.  While not producing as 1/2 of the Jam Thieves duo, Dunk has honed and mastered his own signature style that many imitate, but few can pull off.

I am thankful that I have so many top-notch tracks to choose from- there's almost too many.  So, part 2 will be coming along shortly.

You can grab a free track, 'NERD' over here---> https://soundcloud.com/dnbspread/dunk-nerd-free-download

D&BS - Hello Dark E10 - Dunk Pt.1

T>I, otherwise known as Mat South, has been making bangers for over two decades.  His music is championed by worldwide heavyweights such as Andy C, Dj Hype, and Dj Marky.  T>I has released music on a plethora of labels including Critical, Grid, Serial Killaz, Souped Up, Metalheadz, and C.I.A.  

He has a distinct sound- often sounding stripped-down on first listen, but packed to the gills with clever sound design, fun drum programming, and a wicked ear for a vocal sample or two.

T>I's remixes are also sonic beasts.  Whether it's his flip of Hybrid's 'Raised in the Jungle', Ray Keith's 'Renegade', or Dj Brockie & Ed Solo's 'Represent'- T>I melds his own sound into the tracks flawlessly.  He's a djs dj and producer.

You can find his music @t-i here on Sound Cloud

Extended Rinse E05.1: T>I Part 1

I know.  It's Tuesday.

Just a little mix with some heavyweight tracks...

There are several of Commix's unreleased tracks in here.  @sephiadnb dropped a heavy slice of dystopian drum futurism- you can snag it on his page for free.  The new @ncseventeen NC-17 LP dropped- and it's a stunner, so I put a couple of those tunes in as well.  And I topped the mix off with some vintage Break, Calibre, and not too-new Dunk cuts.

Thank you for listening, commenting, and sharing,

Cheers.

D&BS - Monday Dribbles

Mental health...  It's in the news, on your phone, in your head.  It's okay to not be fine all of the time.  It's okay to feel down or- it's okay to feel anything.  But feelings are transitory.  They will pass.  Radically accept whatever it is and move on to the next challenge.  If you know someone who is struggling- reach out.  Your effort could make all the difference in the world.  The people who need help the most are the least likely to ask for it or appear as though they need it.  😔
Wow- Season 5?!  I never could have imagined making this many mixes let alone people actually listening to them.  I am humbled by every listen and comment I receive. I know it takes time to write a comment or to listen to an hour-long mix.  There is an endless supply of music out there so the fact that someone chose to listen to my effort is remarkable.

I wanted to make this season special- dark, deep, and curated rather well...

There is some intense dark'n'heavy bass work from @angalardub- 'The Disease' will infect your ears.  @mahsiv delivers a wicked slice of bass pie with 'Strictly'.  It's going on a year old but will still knock your ear drums in.  @viruldnb's track 'Animal Instincts' might be five years old, but sounds fresh AF today.  @teejdnb delivers with the sonic delicacy that is 'Lunacy'- top fucking notch there.  I think there are three or four @resslekdnb tracks in here, each one a subtle banger with super-clean sound design.

The biggest of ups to all the producers making these tunes- us djays would be nothing without you all giving us something to play.  

Thank you for listening, commenting, and sharing.

Cheers, 
Arleigh

Knuckles - D&BS S05E01

T>I, otherwise known as Mat South, has been making bangers for over two decades.  His music is championed by worldwide heavyweights such as Andy C, Dj Hype, and Dj Marky.  T>I has released music on a plethora of labels including Critical, Grid, Serial Killaz, Souped Up, Metalheadz, and C.I.A.

When I think about the sound of drum & bass, T>I's tracks are what I think about.  They are funky, fluid, street-level nasty, and catchy AF.  These are the sounds of the future and the best sounds from a hazy past.  Mat's remix of Zinc's Sharp Shooter is one for the ages- it slaps.  His work with Grid boss Turno, his EP with Trex on Metalheadz, his collab with Saxxon- all pristine and timeless.

Check out T>I's work @t-i and support the artist...

Thank you for listening, commenting, and sharing if you are so inclined.  Mixing this was a pleasure, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did making it.

Cheers, 
Arleigh

Extended Rinse E05.2: T>I Part 2

You've landed in my Drum & Bass Sessions...  Get locked in and enjoy the ride as there should be something for everyone in here.  

The new EP from @t-i T>I, D*Minds, & Run in the Jungle is MASSIVE.  Every tune on the release absolutely bangs.  The new release from @minorformsuk Minor Forms slaps, the new Ep from @log1n is wicked, and the new @the_emperor Emperor release.  Need for Mirrors delivers again with U.R and Sense of Wonder- both solid and expertly crafted tunes.  

Thank you for taking the time to listen, comment, and share.  I truly appreciate every listen I get.

Enjoy!

Coin Purse Thievery - D&BS S05E02.5

Yep.

90% all vocal.

It's okay if it's not your thing...  It will be someone's.

Thank you for listening, commenting, and sharing.

Special thanks to @nitro_b for supporting me and guiding me on this journey.  Thank you buddy. 🙏🏼

Enjoy.

Throated - D&BS

Welcome to the latest episode of Hello Dark...

You would be keen to think that Oli has been in the game for decades, but you would be wrong.  At barely a quarter of a century old he has had releases on plenty of major labels such as Grid and V Recordings. His bass lines are immediately noticeable, but he shifts and drifts through sounds and sub-genres with wicked precision.  Mr. Lewis is in this game for the long haul, and the scene is better for it.

Big up and a debt of gratitude to Oli himself for supporting this project and providing a plethora of unreleased tracks and dubs.  He's pure class through and through.

Check out his music @olilewisdnb, and you can find links to his socials there.

Thank you for listening, commenting, and sharing if you're moved to do so.  But most of all, enjoy the music.

Cheers, 
Arleigh

D&BS - Hello Dark E12 - Oli Lewis

Fall in and fall out...


Thank you for listening.

The Void - D&BS

It's almost time to play dress up and walk around asking strangers for treats!!!!!  Here is something to listen to while you trick.

Thank you for listening!!!!

Tricks For Treats - D&BS

I received a text from my best friend today.
The message instructed me to watch and listen to a mix by the aforementioned.
I did.
Now I feel terribly about myself and my track choices.
So I made this to cleanse my pallet of nasty jump up business.

Thank you for listening, leaving a comment if so inclined, and sharing if the music moves you.

My Best Friend Listened to a Camo & Krooked Mix So I had to Make This - D&BS

I am so fortunate that I get to play other people's music...  I think a lot of people take this for granted, as though other people's music will always be there.

It won't be.

Thank you for listening, leaving a comment if so moved, and sharing.

EZ everyone.

RESET - D&BS

There are people in your life, that when missing, truly leave a hole in your soul.  We get older.  Our priorities change.  Some of us have families of our own...  There are multitudes of reasons to lose touch with someone.  I am guilty of falling off and not communicating very well, but I am trying to do better.  You never know when a call or text to a person can make their day or save their life...  

If you don't want to comment and you've made it this far then maybe reach out to someone that you've lost touch with or have just put off speaking to.

Thank you for listening, commenting, and sharing if you're so inclined.

LOSING TOUCH - D&BS S05E02

Disclaimer:  These are tracks that I played throughout 2023- they may not have all been released this year, but they are my favorites.

This is the first hour, maybe, so appetizers I guess...

I am thankful for having a platform to put my mixes onto, for every time someone listens, leaves a comment, or messages me, my close friends, my family, and of course- my cat.

Special thanks to all of the producers out there messing with synths and putting tracks together...  No producers, no djays.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving - The Best of 2023 Part 1 (Possibly, but this is most likely a rough draft.) - D&BS

So here are some more of the best tunes I played this year.

Thank you for listening, commenting, and sharing if you are so inclined.

Christmas Eve - The Best of 2023 Part 3 - D&BS

It's not a best of...  But the holidays are tough for a lot of people- myself included.  Hopefully some bass and drums will help with traveling and what not.

Thank you for listening.  I hope you all have/had a great holiday!

Resentments - D&BS

Well, it's been a while...

Welcome to 2024 and a new episode of Hello Dark.  While this is not the darkest of dark episodes it does sound pretty wicked thanks to the spotlight of the mix - Teej.

Teej is Bristol based and has releases on, well, a LOT of labels.  He has released on Sofa Sound, 31 Recordings, Flexout, OCC, Trust Audio and more.  His productions are razor sharp with intelligent sound design and dark, sometimes minimal grooves.  Check out his music on SC @teejdnb

Thank you for listening, leaving a comment, or sharing if so inclined.

Enjoy!

Teej - Hello Dark E13

Mixed on 20.01.24

It's cold and wet.


Thank you for listening.

Inside - D&BS

Boy in the Corner

Happy Friday everyone!  

I threw together a little mix- all Flexout releases.  I will probably do several of these as I love their sound and overall vibe.

Thank you for listening, leaving a comment, or sharing.

Enjoy your weekend!!!

FLEX'D - D&BS

Welcome to another episode of Hello Dark...

I reached out to @angalardub and asked if I could take a go at making a mix of his work.  I had no idea how prolific of a producer he is- he makes top-notch, minimal drum & bass bangers, breaks tracks, and other electronic music.  The productions are always tight and on point.  While the tracks themselves may have a minimal aesthetic, they are very dense.  Also, his basses are wild.

Check out his work on SC @angalardub
Download his tracks and see his discography @angalardub.bandcamp.com/music

Thank you for listening, leaving a comment, or sharing!!!

Hello Dark E14 - an galar dub

Risky Business

Happy Easter...  Or weekend.

This was more difficult than I initially thought it would be- mistakes were made, no edits were.

Stay safe.

Thank you for listening, commenting, and sharing.

Enjoy.

Pink Panties & Xannys

Here's a little mix of jump up, bootlegs, and other nonsense.

Enjoy your holiday or Sunday.

Cheers.

BUNNY HOP

I found this old mp3 file on a hard drive in my closet. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don't think it's me.

Edit-
Yeah, it's me.  No, I didn't find this on an old hard drive- I mixed it.

Cheers & enjoy.

The (April) Fool

Welcome All- 

This is a mix about inclusion rather than exclusion.
@transfrequencies-label is a label that I have had the utmost pleasure and honor to work with.  They have some new Eps heading out shortly and they are not to be slept on...

Ekkle's tune 'Wicked' is exactly as it states- it's a fierce sonic assault on the ears and should get dance floors quaking.

Malush has an EP coming out as well, and ALL of the tracks are bangers. Be sure to check it out...
https://soundcloud.com/transfrequencies-label/sets/malush-antimatter-ep-tfr036-out-soon-on-transfrequency-recordings?si=3933b701c2e44caf8e664c6accb1efad&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

We also have a classic tune from @extime 'RollWithThePunches' does just that- it's a ballistic roller and is pristinely produced...

Cadenzo @deluxe-83 should not be slept on either...  Several of his tracks make an appearance here, with 'Stoic Hook' being a dance floor WMD.  It's ridiculously well crafted and I can't wait to hear what 2024 has in store for him.

There are a lot of great tracks in this mix, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did making it.

Thank you 🖤

Transitions

I play whatever the fuck I want to play...  No agenda.  I prefer exquisitely-produced drum & bass but have a soft spot for rough and grimey sounds.  

Time is precious and limited- I deeply appreciate any time you spend listening to the mixes I make.  There is so much content out there...  Thank you.
Also- I fucking love drum & bass...  And I make a lot of D&B mixes.
None of which would be possible without all of the amazing producers making killer tunes to play!!!!  
I also like and repost many tracks without commenting...  It's nothing against you or what you have made.  I obviously like it, not that I matter.  Sometimes I like things that I may not play but still appreciate...  We are all in this together in one way or another, so act accordingly...  😅

Enjoy and thank you for listening.
