abstract science djs mixes

In the world of inspiration, some forces stand above and ring out louder than others. Chris Widman-- producer, co-host and co-founder of Abstract Science Radio-- stands among them. With over 25 years at the helm of Absci Radio and +1,000 episodes delivered to the Chicago airwaves and beyond, Widman's legacy is nothing short of phenomenal.

For this episode, unleashed in the wake of the full moon in Aries, as the seasons turn towards the sublunary majesty of decay and repose, join us for a massive 90-minute journey into the bass-driven, subterranean impulses of contemporary sound design. As a whole it is remarkably spectral, propulsive, tectonic in its weight, and revelatory in its resolution. 

From Chris, "...this mix was commissioned long ago. during which time, the great andrew weatherall died, inspiring me to scrap a carefully curated playlist + compile something new along the slower tempos the "guv'nor" championed. the result weaves together related threads of techno dancehall, dubwise breakbeat, blunted electro, african/diaspora club (+ inspired versions), + inescapably, two favorite weatherall projects."

AW/OA 052: Abstract Science for the Guv'nor [mixed by Chris Widman]

this is not my cataclysmic nye DJ mix, it is a tribute to the set i was supposed to perform + the space it was to celebrate.  starts with deep dubstep, breaks + 2 step garage, then moves into drum n bass + jungle.

CHRIS WIDMAN cataclysmic tribute mix [2023]

Beyond / Below B17 by @chriswidman of @abstractscience. Received January 2024.
Photo by Chris

"The vision + photo of a winter sunset on Lake Michigan became the starting point. From there, the mix evolved into three movements that were influenced by the Metro/Smartbar "23 Hour Party People" chill room sets through which I first got to know Hi-Vis. Even though it is intended for deep listening, it sounds best at high volume with proper bass."

Fennesz “We Trigger the Sun “
Monolake “Allure Publison”
Purelink “At Nest“

As an artist, the Welsh grime machine has been setting pace for years with his high energy 140 instrumentals. Having worked with some of the biggest names in the scene, it’s no surpise that his new single 'Shiva' is pure dynamite. Encapsulating Middle Eastern styled strings and rolling 808s, Dubzta has supplied us with an instrumental guaranteed to tear apart any grime dance. We look forward to what Dubzta has to bring for the rest of 2018.

Filthy Gears with Logan - 20th June 2019

The second producer on this project to get his first 1Forty release is Hayz. Whilst Leeds has had a Grime scene that has been quietly bubbling away for a few years on the MC front, there has been very few 140 producers come through. Hayz is hellbent on changing that now he is sat on the music ready to release. Like NothingNice he has taken a couple of years or so to learn the craft waiting for the right moment to get his music to a high enough standard and now his debut release is upon us we can expect to hear not just these instrumentals perfectly suited for live grime sets, but he also enjoys making more stand alone grime influenced dubstep tracks taking influence from old Plastician work which we can expect to hear before the year is out.

Hayz has been on the 1Forty radar for some time as he initially came through as an upcoming support DJ on the Leeds circuit. Whilst being a strong tastemaker for grime he also conveniently mixes up Funky and other underground UK Bass music in his sets making him the perfect addition to 1Forty’s reliant list of DJs. Having played a number of 1Forty Takeovers and affiliated shows in 2018 and 2019 including Shy FX NYE at The Warehouse, Holy Goof’s Globes Tour at Church and 1Forty x Krudd at Wire this lead him to be picked up by Detonate to open up the o2 Academy in his home city for the first time in June. Now with bringing his production to the table you can expect to see his name a lot more frequently over the coming months.

Howitzer fires off two high-powered, 160bpm weapons for Sweetbox, returning to the Diffrent Music sister label for his second solo outing, after the success of last summer’s ‘Blackjacks’.

Lead track ‘Lemonhead’ rains down a fiery combination of militant drumwork and oppressive bass stabs. There’s an atmospheric tension and relentless quality to this one that’ll have ravers hooked from the first stomp of the kick drum to the outro’s last smouldering crackle.

‘Foundry’ takes a similar sound palette but approaches via a more sleuthy route. Sludgy low-end pulses meet a plodding beat, with each mean step chained together by the kind of yawning groove that can’t fail to have shoulders dropping in the dance.

Both tracks will be available digitally from Friday 22nd November, with a super limited run of 10” pressings available at the Clashmouth Drum & Bass Label Market on Saturday 9th November

Jakebob has definitely delivered the goods. His remix is on a 140 tip but this time it's with a Grime heavy twist. The song dips and swerves whilst  encapsulating the true sound of Grime.

Rame x Fork And Knife - Test Me (Jakebob Remix)

Secondly is Never Change and this is at the other end of the spectrum. This track brings nothing but vibes, ready to clart any set with a drum pattern that sets pace around the very low end bass and a brilliantly arranged synth to match. This release is nothing short of fantastic and we can't wait for you to get your ears round it

All guitar in this project was recorded by me; I was listening to a lot of juke and footwork at around the time so the Killa P Edit came about through that. If you download this album through bandcamp, the footwork instrumental comes as a bonus track.
