Based on a mix I did live on Twitch for an online stream party called 'Grounded', hosted by DJs Nachtraaf and Fritz.

DrumAndBassNL Live - FLUX/X takeover - 27-11-2022 [liquid funk]

A (live) mix I did at the online radio show Open Source Radio in Nijmegen. On this show, the FemDem and State of Unrest joined forces to provide OSR with an afternoon full of drum and bass with only female DJs. 

This mix is full of deep stuff, rolling stuff, new stuff, old stuff, and new stuff sounding like old stuff. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks to State of Unrest and the FemDem for having me. Follow them here:

Drum 'n Bass/jungle dj stationed in Delft [NL]. Versatility is my hallmark. I like to play 'niche' and oldschool-infused dnb that sounds spacey; whether it's light and atmospheric or dark and techy 👾

Also, sometimes I play other stuff if I feel like it. Lots to discover!
