With this mix, I have focused specifically on progressive deep drum and bass. 
I first discovered this type of music a few years ago through Reeko. Since my sound is so diverse and I enjoy playing techno as well as bass music, DnB, and jungle and blending all those together, I was fascinated by how Reeko manages to create a very technoid atmosphere and mood at the speed of DnB or halftime DnB, forming a sound that felt very new to me, yet was not too hard or overpowering, but can sound very soft, soulful, and textured. 

It’s the genre that best reflects my diverse sound and the emotions I’m trying to evoke. At this intersection somewhere between techno, bass music, DnB and progressive trance, it blends psychedelic trippy textures with pulsating hypnotic rhythms. It feels dark, sometimes dramatic, with a tribal or ritualistic undertone, sometimes even mystical and otherworldly. It’s very immersive to me, with spatial effects that create a sense of depth and forward motion without relying on obvious drops or formulaic structures. In every genre I play I almost had the biggest weakness for melancholic and emotionally deep music, which is also portrayed in this mix.

I hope you’re somewhere quiet and mentally and physically in the right space to close your eyes and let it create it’s own atmosphere in your head.

With love,
Cynthia
