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 🥁

NSMA-MIX-019-ALICIA

Very excited to welcome @aliciasteanson to the mix series. This ones been on the cards for a hot minute and it does not disappoint! Alicia is a producer & musician making deeply rhythmic, off-kilter dance music inspired by a love of club culture and the avante-garde. Residing in London, she cut her teeth working at Phonica and studying contemporary music, a combination that has seen her develop a passion for obscure and unusual soundscapes.  

Her sonic vision was realised recently on her mesmerising latest work  ‘Archangelic Collapse’ which dropped as part of the ‘In Clusters’ compilation on Mor Elian’s Fever AM no less. Five minutes of oblique sound design that we’ve come to expect from her radio mixes, readjusted for the dark corners of the club.

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

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...

Our first mix comes from London-based experimental composer, Nicholas Worrall aka @Wordcolour. 

An exhilarating hour of bright, moody textures and intricate electronics. 

Where his exceptional 'Blowing Up The Workshop' mix, was an intimate manifession of ambient-led sounds coloured with ASMR and vintage film samples (and lauded as RA’s Mix of the Day & Pitchfork's Best 20 Mixes of 2019 no less), here he flexes a more grittier selection of tracks destined for peak-time club listening.

@alexis_andrews hosts the eleventh instalment of our mix series, bringing a fine tuned balance of bass weight and experimental broken rhythms from across the club. Having cut her teeth at Balamii Radio (behind the scenes and as a resident), her DJing has placed her on the frontline of the UK's ever evolving take on forward thinking club sounds and seen sets alongside Loraine James, Objekt, dj bus replacement service, Batu, Courtesy, Minor Science + more. With a production debut on All Centre earlier this year, Alexis is on fire...

Pressure Dome head honcho @Yushh pops by for a chat and to deliver NSMA-MIX-014 today, having become one of the most inspiring new forces in the UK Underground with her intricate brand of low-end electronics and ear for refreshing production talents. 

Yushh dropped a lethal weapon in ‘Team Boot’ earlier this year (shouts to the Woozy crew @emma-jane-g & @sputnik_one) and continues to fight on the frontline in Bristol, as her collaborations with Syz begin to see the light of day and following a brilliant recent release on her imprint from Delay Grounds (featuring a rude Suze remix).  Brollys at the ready ☔️

We couldn't think of a better way to start 2021 than with a mix from one of our own, @unpersonuk. 

The experimental sound designer from the Steel City has quickly gained a reputation for his unique lane of deeply atmospheric and percussive bass-laden electronic production. We released his EP 'The Ghosts That Gave' on our label at the start of lockdown and he recently contributed to Crack Magazine’s esteemed mix series with a brilliantly conceptual social commentary. With new music creeping around the corner, unperson takes a deep dive into the fog with a carefully spliced collage of sound design and delicate ricochets.

Having recently dropped his 'Reconstructed Club' EP on UK bass weight up-comers Control Freak Recordings following a brilliant collaboration with Max Winter on Or:la’s Cead label in 2020, @Keplrr jumps into the deep end with 1hr of techy, rolling club gear and low end sonics to prime us all for Boris' long-awaited club return this June. And by club we mean merky sweatbox basement, hopefully.

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.
