And now for something completely different...

It is an obvious thing for me to state that I have a big heart for all things techno. It has been the genre which, over the years, has allowed me to express many things and to explore various regions, both artistic and geographically. However, it is by far the only genre which can count on my continued attention. When it comes to dancing and experiencing music on a dancefloor I find that, alongside techno, drum and bass is the one for me. The inherent energy and rhytmic structures of this style are what I appreciate the most. I've spent many nights in various venues listening to sets of high-octane breaks, with as a highlight a visit to London's legendary The End club, which used to be a true haven of drum and bass on Friday nights.

This month's Patreon mix is titled Memorandum, of which I have posted this excerpt on Soundcloud. It is my tribute to drum and bass, not via a selection of classic tracks but through a observation of contemporary breakbeat science. I used to dj drum and bass for a while and have kept those records safe, but I felt as if an exploration of today's sounds was more appropriate. There is a lot of creative music out there, invoking amazing sonic landscapes. A lot of drum and bass producers are very talented sound designers, and true experts at creating a landscape which in my opinion can be both alienating and extremely danceable. Please enjoy.

The full mix and track list can be found at https://www.patreon.com/posts/61896061 - alongside many other exclusive mixes and music recommendations. Have a look :)
