Liquid Drum & Bass from my early days... Still slaps tho.

Old Flame (2013)

Spring is just around the corner 🌱 and festival season will soon be upon us! To celebrate the upcoming summer season, I put together a mix of some of my favourite vibey tunes that I've been playing out over the past few months, along with some new discoveries. I also included a couple unreleased tracks from my upcoming EP 👀. If you're enjoying the mix, please like and repost, and let me know what you think in the comments 🙏

See you on the dance floor, 
Ryan

Glitch Mob Opening Set

I’ve been hearing about this Vancouver Island festival for years from some of my favourite people.  One of B.C.’s most beautiful beaches, well curated diverse lineup focussing on Island Talent, while pulling some big names.  I missed the deadline to apply last year, and wanted to be sure to come on strong this year.  I mixed this one time in my studio based on a closing slot I performed at Kwench’s Halloween Jam a week previous.   It was a sweaty mess and I figured it would be a strong demo.  I hope it gets you all the way down and maybe I’ll see you at Pacheena Bay Music Festival for summer 2025.  Enjoy the track list and support the artists featured on this mix!

Incredibly hyped to announce Rusted Rhythms Vol. 2, which features a new mix from Foxtail. An incredibly diverse blend of downtempo, IDM, glitch, psychedelic bass, ambient... the list goes on. This mix is a mysterious journey into the mind of the vulpine soundsifter, littered with obscure, thought-provoking samples, eerily vast soundscapes, and some of the squelchiest gurgles to ever bless the airwaves

Broadcasting from the holler of Asheville, North Carolina, Ryan Laffler aka Soul Candy offers an omnivorous exploration of broken beat. This mix moves through glitch, hip-hop, British breaks and back again, with brief downtempo respites to help listeners catch their breath. These rhythms include old school hip-hop throwbacks, deep selections from names both legendary and unknown, and weighty cuts from the cream of the contemporary glitch crop; Kursa, Seppa, Detox Unit, Monuman and K.LO. It’s all sewn together through an aggressive mixing style - Soul Candy takes risks when splicing together tunes, creating those one-of-a-kind musical spaces that make a mix memorable.

DJ Surgeon - Bass Tan 6 (July 2020)

From a young age Freebound has always been fascinated with all types of music. Growing up across the water from Detroit, the sounds of Mo Town were the first strong influences of his musical journey. You would find everything from hip hop, soul, funk, alternative rock, blues, classical music, celtic, folk, or bluegrass in his tape player. His deep and unbiased love for music followed him to the West Coast where he fell in love with electronic music and festival culture at Shambhala Music Festival. 

Benny has been staying busy the last few years playing 4 years at Shambhala, 3 years at Envision, Bamboo Bass Festival, Bushwacked, The Tree Planters Ball, Rock the Block in Cumberland, and numerous other clubs and festivals along the West Coast from Canada to Los Angeles.  

He's been managing The Radio Stage at Bass Coast, The Pagoda at Shambhala, The Boog at Boogaloo, La Brisa at Bamboo, The Lapa stage at Envision, and The Grand ARtique at Lightning in a Bottle. 

Benny is also the Co-Founder of Lickity Split - a Burning Man art car that hosts a wide array of international dj's and hands out thousands of ice cream cones and freezies on the playa, 

He has recently entered into a collaboration with Shinji called Dr. Suits, make sure to keep an eye on this project. 

Being constantly surrounded by such a wide variety of the freshest music around has kept him constantly changing, evolving, and fine tuning the music he is passionate about and the sound he strives to deliver. He also loves you and hates writing in the third person 
Bless ❤
