The monthly "Clen's List" playlists comes from the great music that comes across on Soundcloud each month. Of course this wouldn't be possible without the work of all the producers, reposters, promoters, and suggestions from others, so thanks and big up to everyone out there sharing and producing these sounds.

Another goal of these lists is to promote the artists producing the tunes. There are some really incredible less known productions that float around and just don't wind up in the "spotlight". By including these productions in the lists, hopefully these great works get their time in the spotlight.

Look out for a new list around the end of each month.

Whoever is listening, thanks and enjoy!
~Clen

P.S. Overtime the lists lose tracks that were originally included. I do not know if this is due to artists removing their tracks from Soundcloud (or the tracks get bought by a record company and then removed), or if there is another reason. I will try to keep these lists as up to date and as close to how they were originally as best as possible. As of February 2014 the original list will be in the bottom of the description.

Such Music has made it to its 21th release and to mark the occasion the drum and bass record label is releasing a “best of” compilation. Such Music Fundamentals will give fans — old and new — a chance to travel back over the past four years and dig deep into many of the original tracks that have shaped Such Music.

Fundamentals Volume 1

4Everest - Journey Within (Utah Jazz Remix)

Furney is a quality Drum & Bass making machine!! He finds the perfect formula to rock the dance floor with his heavy shuffling breaks, balanced perfectly with emotive samples that help create an intense musical experience. The We Are Living EP is another example of why Furney is one of the most treasured producers in the Liquid D&B scene. "We Are Living", kicks things off in impressive fashion, with it's epic vocal, acoustic guitar plucking, trippy efx, Amen Drums, and driving bassline. This one's a classic!! "Elmalougalou", takes over next, where Furney is able to create a much funkier, dance floor vibe. This is an older Furney tune, but as you can tell, his music definitely stands the test of time. The song chugs along with its chunky, syncopated breaks, bouncing bassline, acoustic guitar, and epic horn samp les. Another Classic from Furney! "Rolling Down Time" takes a bit deeper, rolling approach to things. The mood is created by trippy pads, echoing vocals and efx, punchy drums, a booming bassline, and a ripping mid bassline. Soothing vocals drift over the top of the chaos and help put you in a trance. Deep! The final track of the EP, "Blue", wraps things up with its impressive Amen Drums, Jazzy horn blasts, deep pads, and haunting vocals. Once again, Furney drops another classic EP... Don't sleep on this one!!

Will Miles- Permission Slip

Greekboy returns to Soul Deep with 4 tracks of Liquid goodness.  "Ethnicus Stylus", starts things off with its long drawn out pads, ethnic vocals, 808 bassline, and popping drums.  Essential sounds for the deeper sets.  "Mrs. Hope", takes over and features a heavy drum sample, airy pads, and psychadelic sounding guitar and efx samples.  After the track rolls on for awhile, a big amen drum loop drops in to take the track to the next level.  Energy!  "Clip Clap", is a heavy atmospheric roller that features long, epic pads, a hip hop style vox, electric guitar plucking, and echoing efx.  A heavy amen loop drops into the mix to complete the liquid assault.  "Night Lessons", finishes things off with style, with its rattling drums, heavy tambourines, winding pads, and bouncing 808 bassline.  If you're a fan of Greekboy's music, then this EP will satisfy your craving.

Greekboy - Clip Clap

Carrying on from the vibe of 'UNDER YOUR SPELL,' this track, 'KING OF TAVOLARA,' is another piece of music inspired by my experiences on the beautiful and mystical island of Sardinia, Italy.  Off the nearby coast in the town of San Teodoro, a small island looms in the clear blue waters: Tavolara.  The Kingdom of Tavolara is a tiny kingdom claiming independence in the 19th and 20th centuries in Tavolara Island, off the northeast coast of Sardinia. Set up by the Bertoleoni family, sanctioned by Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, it claimed to be one of the smallest kingdoms in the world...

Get your copy of the Hospitality In The Park compilation here: https://HospitalRecords.lnk.to/HospitalityInTheParkso

In 2016 we grew our high-energy club night into a true drum & bass celebration, Hospitality In The Park. The 10,000 strong party drew together DJs, fans, listeners, singers, live acts and MCs together to showcase every shade and style encompassing a 174 heartbeat. As the Finsbury Park fun continues and round two promising even bigger stage takeovers and a myriad of artist weaponry, we present an equally bursting drum & bass double disc, the ‘Hospitality In The Park 2017’ LP.

In the same vein as our all-day summer special, this huge 70 track mash-up spans across a full 360’ perspective of the genre; representing the established, up and coming, soulful, obscure, liquid, innovative, dark, techy, neuro, jungle style and everything in between.

Included are over 25 brand new exclusives from reputable drum & bass titans Danny Byrd, S.P.Y, Makoto and Keeno, there are VIPs from Metrik and Nu:Logic, remixes from Hugh Hardie, Total science, Camo & Krooked and Calibre, and a ‘Bullet Proof’ banger from Krakota.

Across two mixed CDs we’ve drawn for this year’s surefire summer weapons with Fred V & Grafix, The Prototypes, 1991, High Contrast, The Upbeats, Breakage in the mix. With this year’s Incubator stage pulling artists that are rising through the ranks, up and comers’ Whiney, Unglued, GLXY and Kyrist bring exciting new offerings to the compilation.

Both fans and artists came together from all over the globe last year and we expect no less in 2017. Equally, this compilation gives an international perspective covering all corners of the globe from Japan’s Mountain, the USA’s Flite and Ownglow, the Netherlands Black Sun Empire and New Zealand's Shapeshifter.

Drum & bass is stronger than ever and it's here to stay. See you at the park!
