Hi my name is marlon. This is my mix for the 2025 Subset event at MÄX. Thanks to the organizers for this amazing opportunity.

About me: I started enjoying DNB in 2018 and fairly quickly got into DJ´ing. With being a DJ comes playing at events which in Munich (my hometown) is quite difficult since there aren't many. Taking things into my own hand I bought a sound system and a generator, got some friends together and had some amazing raves. After that I moved to Romania and more or less played for myself, until I found some brilliant people that enjoyed DNB just as much as I did. They had started this Festival called Forest Beats, on a private property in the Romanian mountains.  If you have the chance and like DNB as much as we do, give it a try.

In May 2024 I moved to Züricher Oberland and haven't had much chance at playing for a crowd, until now.

Hope you enjoy it :)

A.M.C WEEKENDER INSPIRED MIX BY MYSELF FEATURING DNB CLASSICS AND SOME PERSONAL FAVOURITES FROM ALL CORNERS OF DNB

HISTORY SESSIONS - 3HR SPECIAL

“This very well may be my favourite mix in terms of creativity. This mix tells a story, it’s captivating and touches all the parts of my soul. If you like Dark, Techy and Heavy DnB that talks then you will love this mix <3”

Although Ana Crusis’s taste in music is heavily spread out across genres, when mixing on the decks you can find her focusing on everything Dark, Techy and Heavy. She likes to push boundaries and break barriers of what would be considered “acceptable”. This can be shown in some of her outerworldly deep twisted concoctions and high BPM’s.

When mixing Neuro Ana Crusis is notoriously known for mixing between 180-185bpm.

In this mix you can expect the full spectrum of Ana Crusis - starting things off Techy and Dark whilst slowly building up towards the heavier side of DnB.
In this mix you can notice how the tempo builds up throughout. Starting at 176bpm and finishing at 183bpm.

Ana Crusis’s ethos is quality over quantity and that quality has no fear of time.

Ana Crusis - Full Spectrum Artist Spotlight

Hailing from Buckinghamshire, Wilman is a rapidly emerging force in the UK drum & bass scene. Since stepping onto the decks in late 2023, Wilman’s rise has beennothing short of explosive—earning a reputation for his dynamic sets, 
 deep musical knowledge, and unmistakable passion for the rave.

A true connoisseur of DnB, Wilman seamlessly blends a spectrum of subgenres
including jungle, neurofunk, rollers, old-school jump-up, and dancefloor. His eclectic yet calculated tune selection, paired with high-energy mixing and an innate connection to the crowd, guarantees an unforgettable experience every time he steps up.

Wilman’s love for the music runs deeper than the decks. A raver at heart since the age of 18, he channels that same energy and spirit into every performance—
delivering sets that are both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Drawing inspiration
from the golden era of late '90s and early 2000s DnB, Wilman crafts his sound with a fresh, modern edge.

Currently signed to @foundationpresents_, Wilman has already made an impact
across the UK, playing in cities such as London, Brighton, Bournemouth, Cardiff,
Milton Keynes, Hitchin, Aylesbury and Hemel Hempstead. With gigs stacking up
and momentum building, he’s firmly establishing himself as one to watch in the
scene.

He's already shared lineups with some of the genre’s heavy hitters, including The
Upbeats, Kara, SMG, Joe Ford, Waeys, T>I, Aries, Skylark, Spektiv, and One87—
proving he can hold his own among some of the best in the business.
Whether it's a gritty roller session or a full-blown dancefloor tearout, Wilman brings the vibes, the selections, and the energy every single time. With a serious work ethic, a sharp ear, and a deep-rooted love for the culture, he’s not just making noise—he’s making a name.
