Advent Day 1 - Rory Hoy - LSM Xmas 2022 Mix

Pecoe: https://soundcloud.com/pecoe

It's fair to say that Pecoe's release rate in 2022 has been off the scale and while I feel pretty confident in saying he's not released something every week of the year, he's released that much that I would have to go and check. Most of what he has released throughout the year has carried his signature funky breaks sound, but a couple of curve balls were thrown out in the form of two excellent disco-led EP's on Rare Wiri and Spa In Disco. Still laced with funk, the two four-track EPs added another string to his bow and showed that there is more to his production work than the well-crafted funky breaks jams we've become accustomed to. 

In keeping with the theme of those two EPs, we have another slice of nu-disco from Pecoe to bring you for day five of our advent calendar. In The 80's is an intense, deep and captivating groove that's easy to get lost in until the bassline kicks in to literally rock your world! It's a little something different from what we're used to from Pecoe, but that's how we like it and like it we do! Download for free on the player above.

Advent Day 5: Pecoe - In The 80's

Advent Day 4: JMT -Love is the Answer

High Rollaz: https://highrollazrecordings.bandcamp.com/music

On Advent Day 14, we dip into the world of Drum and Bass - particularly of the liquid kind - with a sublime mix from Peterborough-based Nick 'Sincere' Porter. 

A bonafide member of the old skool, Nick has been promoting the music he loves since the late 80s/early 90s with his High Rollaz club night. Fast forward to present times and while his club night remains, High Rollaz has now become the name of his record label and radio show on Future Sounds Radio. The music found in Nick's mix reflects the type that can be heard on his radio show and what you can expect from his label brilliantly and it could easily be one of the best Drum and Bass mixes you've heard in a while. 

Opening with an intro featuring his brother from another mother, Rayan Gee of rave legends Shades of Rhythm, Nick gets the ball rolling with the latest release on High Rollaz - Twilight - and then proceeds to serve up an incredible selection of liquid funk and deeper liquid Drum and Bass. The flow and progression of the mix are a joy to the eardrums and warm your cockles this mix most definitely will.

Nick mentioned to me that there are plenty of forthcoming High Rollaz releases in his mix, so if you're loving what you're hearing, hit the follow buttons on the links below to stay in the loop of when they'll be heading your way.
