After over a year on dub as one of the most anticipated forthcoming releases on Force Recordings, SenseNet’s return to the imprint arrives in the form of ‘We Will Reprogram’ & ‘You Were My Ghost”.

Staying true to her love of storytelling and atmospheric textures, SenseNet’s ‘We Will Reprogram’ is sure to transport listeners to another realm. Her new track continues the tradition of heady 90’s dance music that wasn’t afraid to take its time in order tell an epic story. Starting off the journey with the calm before the storm, you’re led along the way with entrancing slide guitars winding around needle point breaks on top of a warm bed of sub-bass that underpins the first movement of this 10 minute opus. Fan’s of SenseNet’s music will know, however, that it’s all a ruse, and ruffness is coming in a BIG WAY. And just when you think you’ve hit the the heaviest turbulence, at 7 minutes in she drops 32 bars of pure drum ‘n bass indulgence, leaving you breathless at the drop! Fans of ‘We Will Reprogram’ who’ve been bubbling for its release need wait no longer.

Moving from strength to strength, ‘You Were My Ghost’ on the flip backs up the release with more of what SenseNet’s known for; Storytelling. One of her greatest assets as a producer is her ability to envision a theme, weave vocal samples into a complex story and then build a structure of complex breakbeats, emotional pads, strings and atmospheres around that theme. Here you’re taken on an emotional trip that slowly builds from the very beginning, getting more and more intense with each bar, culminating in a beautiful ambient breakdown. But she won’t let you settle in for too long, shaking your headspace after the drop with her trademark complex drum programming and poignant vox samples.

Looking back on her still fresh and developing body of work it’s songs like these that help cement this lady’s spot amongst some of the brightest Jungle & DnB producers in the game today!

Although she’s a new producer in the Drum ‘n Bass scene, her musical roots go back decades as a classically trained pianist who has dabbled in a variety of musical instruments and genres. With Past Gift and Purple, she wanted to pay homage to the rich history of DNB with the classic Amen Break.Her penchant for finding samples and telling stories, combined with her musical sensibility leads to two tracks that will not only give you that heavy bass punch, but will also move you emotionally with beautiful melodic breaks and undertones reminiscent of the intelligent days of Jungle.

In the words of legendary label owner and producer, Andy Odysee of Odysee Recordings (Source Direct, Odysee, Circuit-Breaker), Past Gift, is a “beautifully crafted bit of hefty Deep Amen business”. No other words could better describe the title track from this debut release by SenseNet.

Scene newcomer SenseNet flexes her production muscles with a deeply introspective and inspired take on ‘Limerence’ that brings the original vibe so far left field it’s almost completely re-imagined.  SenseNet’s twist-up brings new organic beats, immensely lush pads and sonic textures running throughout and a room vibrating sub that warms the entire experience from end to end. This is Sci-Fi Drum 'n Bass!

Peace, Love & DNB Earthlings

Excerpts are from Martin Luther King Jr.'s final speech "The Mountain Top" the day before he was assassinated. Stories say how he had been increasingly harassed while in Memphis with threats on his life and he was quite worried if he would make it out of TN alive. He was also very sick due to the stress of traveling and the constant threats he was dealing with, and almost didn't speak that night. But he didn't want to let down all the people who came to hear him and carried on with all the strength he could muster. His words are particularly haunting knowing his fate the following morning.

Streetlight Vol 1

With You

SenseNet (Cheney) is a female DJ/ Producer based out of Asheville, NC USA with roots in the Florida electronic music scene. In 2019 she released her first single “Past Gift” on Force Recordings, with a follow-up remix of Airstrike’s “Limerence” in early 2020. Later this year she’ll be releasing her first collab single with her partner and fellow producer, A1-Voodoo on Force Recordings. Most recently you can find her track “With You” on Repertoire’s compilation album “Streetlight Vol. 1” set for release in July of 2020. Coming up in 2021, she has her first release on Tuff Love Dubs, a contemporary jungle label exclusively releasing on 10” vinyl dubplates. She’s also written a special charity track, “What You Said”, with all proceeds benefiting The King Foundation to help promote racial equality here in America and abroad. 

As a DJ, she’s heavily influenced by the Industrial genre (Trent Reznor, Nitzer Ebb, Jackyl & Hyde) & classic artists like Herbie Hancock, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd. She loves going from atmospheric jungle to hard-hitting amens, then back into dark & ominous two-step vibes. Taking cues from the mixing styles of Doc Scott, Coco Bryce, and Sonic, she doesn’t limit her sets to any particular era, and you might hear her mix a classic jungle track by Omni Trio or LTJ Bukem, alongside current releases from Dom & Roland, Blocks & Escher, and Seba.

She has a degree in Fine Art and has been playing piano for 35 years with a foundation in classical theory, which continues to be the corner stone on which she writes her own music. In the future, she plants to start her own label “Subsong”, focusing on Space Ambient music containing synth heavy textures and soundscapes, a style that you can hear echoed throughout her DNB compositions.

You can find her every Friday night on Twitch where she's been DJ'ing a weekly DNB stream "Straylight Sessions" since 2018 along with her partner as a way to keep the scene and history of Jungle alive and well here in the states. Through playing classic tracks and educating viewers about the full 25+ year span of this culturally rich and sonically diverse genre, they love sharing their knowledge and passion for the music with old and new fans alike.
