In the lead-up to Love International 2021, we’re launching Transmission to Tisno on crackaud.io – a series of b2b mixes from separate locations, featuring festival favourites and new artists joining the line-up this year.

SPE:C boss Darwin links with London-based DJ and fellow sub-bass fiend Parris. Their b2b is expectedly heavy as they race through tracks from the likes of LCY and LSDXOXO, before meandering through misty-eyed vibes thanks to a touch of trance.

FELIX - Drilling Company [SPE:C 015 12] PREVIEW

Darwin (@darwinspec) juggles many different roles in dance music as well as she juggles her records in the DJ booth. The Canadian-born, Berlin-based artist runs her own REEF parties at Berghain, and has nurtured a wealth of emerging talents on her SPE:C label. She is also the founder of Clean Scene, a climate action collective that wants to explore a more sustainable future for dance music. They recently authored a stark report about the industry's carbon footprint, which you can read through cleanscene.club/report.pdf. 

Darwin's sound is rooted in various UK styles, from bass to dubstep, garage to breakbeat. That is evident in the 100-minute mix she lays down for us this week. It opens with thoughts about environmentalism and some indigenous jungle recordings before grinding through chunky Afro drum patterns and supersized bass. The pressure builds throughout, the cavernous rhythms grow ever more muscular as the urge to snake your body becomes overwhelming. It's a perfectly balanced, well-controlled mix that showcases the irresistible power of heavyweight bass music.

After his killer track z50 on the SPE:C 5 year compilation Alex R returns to us with his debut EP "Last Attempt". With dreamy submersive dub rhythms and dank breakneck drums Alex takes SPE:C to new corners of the club on these three cuts.

Crocodiles serve to remind us that, in life, we cannot always be placid. We must use the primal power of the crocodile to fight our battles ahead.
