Phidippus & Trezon "Cocaine & Brandy"

A beautiful, intelligent and underdone drum and bass mix

Drum and Bass and Chicken Undercooked Mix 2012-2024

I’ve complained in the past about modern music needing a jolt of innovation without coming off as pretentious. Phidippus seems to epitomize the desire to make great music while refusing to keep to one specific formula, making his trajectory as an artist fascinating to watch. I find Phidippus to be an immensely underappreciated musician who just needs one big hit to make his name reverberate throughout the densely packed world of electronica, and I hope that that day comes sooner rather than later.
