NSMA-MIX-SERIES

Excited to be hosting a b2b between two important figures for a special next addition in our NSMA-MIX series. @banoffee-pies head honcho @autumn-bpr goes b2b with @jessica_dj of the @rhythm_sister collective for a spin down memory lane, as they re-visit their Drum & Bass roots. 

Long-affiliated with the Bristolian underground, the duo founded @headroom_dance Festival just around the corner in Abergavenny, Wales in 2019. The festival has a forward-facing policy which makes a conscious effort to create an inclusive dancefloor by weighting ticket distribution heavily towards women, trans and non-binary folk. 

Both known for their wide and eclectic crates, sink into this as we welcome in the weekend 🥁

Surgeons Girl is a pianist studying at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire who continues to apply her classically trained ear for musicality in a singular, exciting and extremely modern way. Having released an EP on Livity Sound earlier this year, SG works with analogue hardware, vocals, piano and generative visuals to produce a vivid blend of ambient and dub-influenced UK-leaning techno beats and bleeps. Announced today as part of the 10 Years of Livity Sound compilation release alongside stalwarts and new names alike (Two Shell, Forest Drive West, Jurango, DJ Plead, Facta, Batu etc), today felt like the perfect time to drop this brilliant mix. Enjoying your "Freedom" with care won't you now x

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by a specific sequence of notes that’s nestled in many musical pieces.
 
An essential example is Tangerine Dream’s ‘Love On A Real Train’, from their soundtrack to the 1983 film Risky Business. But it’s also there in Steve Reich’s ‘Music For 18 Musicians’ (which premiered in 1976), and quite possibly in earlier works I’m yet to encounter.
 
After decades of noticing the same sequence reappearing in tunes I love (and countless hours of blissful listening), I’ve recorded a mix in tribute to these evocative, eternal tones.

Whilst each track is a ‘relative’ in some way, the selection is by no means exhaustive. Indeed, in keeping with the concept, many favourites have been withheld.

Special thanks to Anastasia for the gorgeous artwork, and to Will, Chris and Laurel for your inspiration and encouragement. You guys are the best.

I hope this sparks more conversations and discoveries with anyone who resonates.
 
In the meantime, enjoy!

James Frances: Music For A Late Night Love Train [RLO9]

Okokokok. Yes now. Turn up Tuesdays are here and in full effect spearheaded by Netil's finest @fae95! FAE's spirited sets of UK focused bass-weight and garage skips have been turning heads from London to Leeds for a hot minute by now, but with recent sets at The Cause, Wigflex, Keep Hush & more things are looking like they're only just getting started for this newcomer. Her NSMA MIX is a rich and brooding canvas of club energy that makes its near impossible to not get why she's one of London's best kept secrets. If you're tuning in from elsewhere, take note. We're sure FAE will be slinging it your way v soon...

This was a lot of pressure and i was very nervous ! Peak time/end of night techno after one of my favourite artists playing a live set. Decided to keep it a bit more trancey and heavy than Sams twinkly techno. 

Hope you enjoy & let me know what you think !

Oneman - 7th June 2018

Recently announced for a residency at Sheffield’s institution Hope Works (the first club he ever went out to, *applause* please), this next NSMA-MIX from @porterbrook has been in the tank for a hot minute but we’ve saved it for a special occasion – as we strike our 20th mix in the series! At the helm of the Groundwork parties, Porter has become known as a party starter in Sheffield (past sets alongside Bruce, Batu, Re:ni, Laksa etc.) and is a extremely talented producer, having put out a handful of brilliantly versatile bass-heavy eclecticism via Intervention, Electroménager and his own label. Today though, it’s mostly dnb weapons… no worries.
