DRIFT Mix Series

After a long hiatus, a few side projects and a full cover redesign, we finally return to the DRIFT mix series for episode 34. This one's a special one, with Edinburgh-based rising producer, record cutter and DJ 'The Last Days of Pompeii' taking control. Entitled 'Sound in Motion', he creates a vibrant collage of his favourite soundtrack, soundscapes, monologues and dialogues from cinema and television. With genres spanning ambient, modern classical and with the occasional indie throw back the mix reimagines soundtrack scores and movie scenes. Included below is the track/watch list which I encourage you to check out and do some further watching/listening. The Last Days of Pompeii's deep knowledge of film and visual media comes through as he blends memorable title sequences and deep cuts from foreign films with excerpts and monologues to create a truly immersive one hour listening experience. Enjoy x

Continuing the DRIFT series in style, episode 36 comes in hot in the form of a longer form mix from Gary. Well versed in blending bass heavy club tracks, he takes a step back to share some of his favourite chilled tracks with us over the course of 90 minutes. During this time, he steers through a truly varied range of music spanning the downtempo range, from blissful electronica, through hip hop instrumentals and vocals, to percussive and emotive tracks from all corners of the globe. Despite the range of genres and style, the mix has a steady flow, the expertly curated tracks are overlayed expertly and the show stands testament to Gary's ability as both a selector and a DJ.

For episode 37, we're delighted to shine the spotlight on talented, Northampton-based DJ, Moose. With residencies on London stations Mode and Voices, he regularly fills the airwaves with forward thinking and exciting uk club sounds, focussing on leftfield music from garage to jungle. Alongside this, he is a skilled producer and boasts a string of excellent releases over the last few years including recent gems on labels Solitude and Profound Sound. 

Stepping back slightly from his usual style for this mix, he sticks to the genres he knows well but explores the more chilled out end of the spectrum, with choice selections from artists such as Om Unit and Yoofee. His aim for his contribution to the series was to touch on a Sunday afternoon feeling, using tunes he’s always had but never found an opportunity to play through normal channels such as club and radio. In his own words, not getting to play them as much genuinely improved the mix as it was a lot more fun to mix & was super excited putting the tracklist together, being something different to scheduled programming. This perfectly mirrors the DRIFT philosophy and we're absolutely delighted to be able to share it with you on a Sunday afternoon!

Frazer Ray - 06 March 2023

Three years after their first collaboration, culminating in the release of “The Passenger”, Om Unit and Martyn are back on 3024 with another four track exploration of tempo and vibrations on a new EP called “AJ^6”.

The two ‘veteran’ producers have been highly prolific over the past years, with Om Unit making waves with his massive Acid Dub Studies project as well as new work under his Philip D. Kick alias, and Martyn spearheading and mentoring a robust group of new musicians responsible for no less than five (!) compilations on 3024. What brings the two producers together in the studio once again is the constant hunger for new and interesting sounds on the outer rim of the ‘bass continuum’. Instead of tirelessly rehashing old tropes they are continuously inspired to write new music that’s both current as well as firmly in their aesthetic profile.

‘Basilisk’ and ‘The Trenches’ are great examples of the duo blending odd tempos with dub wise heaviness. ‘Basilisk’ has already been doing some serious damage on the dance floor with its punchy 107 beat structure and headzy breakdown, while the almost imperial march of ‘The Trenches’ introduces a bubbly bass line. ‘Illroy’ and ‘Dragonfly’ both inhabit a dreamier, more melodic universe and have a timeless, ambivalent quality to them, somewhere between a lost b-side of an early 00s Hospital Records release and something on Scuffed. Enjoy!

Miri Malek is a Fife-born, Scottish-Iranian DJ & Producer playing a powerful blend of low-end influenced selections, with a focus on stranger textures and dark, percussive grooves. They are the founder of Dwam, a Berlin-based interdisciplinary platform running events and arts residencies.

For their DRIFT mix, Miri Malek expertly threads together deep, pulsating leftfield cuts with mutated dancehall and ethereal downtempo to create a seamless mix of experimental electronic sounds. They had this to say about it:
"Life has been pretty hectic lately, so I took the moment to slow down and get cuddly with some wiggly rhythms and long comfy blends".
