A collection of Palindrome sounds from a wide range of styles, from downtempo to drum-n-bass.

Refuge - Palindrome Sampler 2024/25

This track bounces between an easy downtempo feel and drum-n-bass feel at double the tempo. It loosely follows a day in the life of a nudibranch -- a type of sea slug which can have amazing colorings and breathes through its tail plume --carnivorously munching its way through sponges, corals, anemones, hydroids, bryozoans, tunicates, algae and sometimes other nudibranchs.

CrunchMunch (DnB/Half-Time)

Refuge

The feeling when something is about to start... Something big, something unknown, but you know you want to be there when it happens. This track was born in a late-night jam with Pym, and was pretty much wrapped up by dawn the next day. I wish every tune came together so easily!

Decteria

This track wants you to know that everything is going to be OK. Original upload replaced with a tighter, more refined mix for the wider population.

Populoid 34

Here we have a dialogue between protector and protected, a shelter in the storm, a wellspring of care, and voice that beckons us out of the wilderness. Written for my mom for her birthday in early 2024, who helps me see so many things and see them clearly.

palindrome is the alter-ego of bay area breakbeat&glitch-hop DJJD, who has been twisting faces and nodding headz for fans at undergrounds and clubs here since 2006.  Always a lover of the ambient and downtempo worlds as well, palindrome is committed to immersing the senses with atmosphere across a range of tempos and feels.  palindrome's dj sets draw on sounds and artists from around the world, while his original productions also traverse a wide set of genres, from Ambient to Jungle, and some cuts that defy easy classification like the 11+ minute epic "Doris's Day" written for a friend's new baby, Doris, as the imagined soundtrack to her first journey outside walking on two feet.
