Martyn is the finest example of an artist who exists outside traditional genre boundaries. Ever since the mid-90s, the Dutchman has operated in his own adjacent worlds while drawing on UK bass hybrids, techno and electro to cook up singular rhythms and unique moods. The 3024 label head has always used his platform to bring through new talent, and now also mentors young artists with his own Patreon program. This sits next to his ever spell-binding performances in the club and eye-opening monthly Darkest Light show on NTS, which is a deep dive into his love of jazz. 

This week's mix is a 70-plus minute snapshot of Martyn's sound, which is as timeless as ever. From the crispness of Detroit electro to the off-beat thump of bass via his deep techno lit up with glistening electronics, it is a perfect blend of body and head and one full of brazen moves. There's a switch to jazz-laced broken beat and low, then the slow wobble of dubstep before a rebuild towards old school jungle that proves this is the sound of a true master at work.

“Flavours” is a vibrant, energetic Drum & Bass journey that fuses bold rhythmic momentum with intricate texture work. From the opening bars, the track pushes forward with crisp breaks and deep bass weight, while melodic flourishes and rich synth layers weave in and out, offering an evolving emotional palette. The production balances raw drive with refinement — sharp percussive hits, filtered transitions, and atmospheric touches evoke both club-intensity and immersive listening headspace.

This is a track for both the dancefloor and the late-night headphones: it carries weight in its low end, clarity in its highs, and character in its sonic detail. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline or seeking sonic depth, “Flavours” delivers.

IDEAS LOST Pt. 2

Hey there, KNODE boys here.

Five years ago, a ransomware attack wiped out every project file we had from our sessions together. We were fortunate enough to recover some of the WAV renders of a few of these projects, but they are in the form of sketches and early works in progress. In the years since, we've each been doing new things and exploring different sides of our creativity—solo work, collaborative projects, live sound, and things completely removed from the world of music. In the interim, these files sat untouched while we wrestled with what they represented to us: unfinished work, unrealized potential, a reflection of our vision. While spending the last five years trying to re-build a catalogue, holding onto these felt wrong. It honestly felt like we could not let go of work that was lost, as it represented a time in our lives where we were both excited for what the future of our project could look like. Releasing them didn’t feel like an option either, as we both struggle with perfectionism and the thought of people hearing half-baked music made us both nervous.

Despite this, we decided to compile an “album” of the surviving WAV renders from this time, incomplete ideas that we never thought would see the light of day. Our ideas as artists often get stuck in the space between intention and execution, never quite becoming what we imagine in our minds. This is our attempt at a making peace with imperfection by showing the work as it existed and not as what it “should have been”. This release also marks a turning point, honoring what we made back then while giving ourselves permission to move forward separately and together in new ways.

If you've ever struggled to finish something, to release something that doesn't feel "ready," or to move on from work you've outgrown - this is for you. We hope this inspires you to let go too.
 
All love,

Dan and Tim - KNODE
