A bit of a different angle on this series here, more twists and turns thru different sub-genres and genres. I enjoy using spoken word, samples and different elements of electronica and breakdowns to swerve into different vibes. Alot of complex drums, jungle, spacey crossovers, smooth liquid and rollers, some halftime and dubsteppy tunes. Not for everyone but I like to push the limits every now and then. Will be hosting releases from other artists in this series as well as some team ups. These mixes are also designed to play seamlessly back to back. Enjoy 👊🎧

Abstract Series

I've got a new Session from the String Series for you guys this week. It's something special and a little different from my usual mixes. I've put a lot of time and effort into putting this one together. There's a bit of Liquid, some Downtempo, Electronica, a nice section of Atmospheric, some Jungle and a sprinkling of transitional tracks to help meld together the  different sub-genres and BPM's. I put it together to kind of play like a movie from start to finish. Like I said, it's a bit different, some may like it some may not but I enjoyed the process of creating it and I hope you enjoy the ride of listening. 

Shout out to my boy Bewarnd of Mobile Unit for mastering the mix for me and the homie D:RC for his beautiful artwork. 

Enjoy,

Sw3rv3 _String Series III Key To Life

Greetings Sound Stream Sessions listeners, dj's, artists and producers. We appreciate your support of the page over the years, giving us ears to listen to the music we put together and being the lifeblood of this culture we all find such enjoyment in being a part of.

I wanted to give you all something different this time as well as challenge myself to create something new, 'a bit of a break from the norm' if you will. This session started as something completely different in my head, different title, tracks, vibe etc. I put together some nice bits and pieces, using some Electronica tunes seasoned with different samples from movies, documentaries and classic hip hop but the overall vibe just wouldn't come together. Under advice from council (lol) I decided to just 'Lean in to the weirdness'. So that's what I did and this is what came out.

It's a Spacey intro featuring a rendition of Einstein drawing us in to the trip, After that Jazz and Funk vibes start us off with an abstract tone, followed by tracks ranging from dark to vibrant, atmospheric to experimental, with a different angle on mixing here, focusing more on ambient and smooth transitions, sometimes changing vibes abruptly. I know I'm taking a bit of a chance on this one but hey, that's where true creativity comes from right. 

Anyways, hope you dig it. Intended to be more of an experience than a traditional mix. Taking Inspiration and blend style from the Electronica and Hip Hop Realms. 

Hat tip to Chief Dubz for inspiration from some of his mixing style, Colin Pierce, Static, and D:RC for their feedback and input and doubling back to D:RC, shout out for his dope, vibe fitting artistry.

Abstract Series _00 (Sw3rv3) 'Against All Odds'

So here we are once again with another installment of the Abstract Series_ Volume 3 but the 4th mix in the sequence just to keep you ten toes down. B. Helix and myself, Sw3rv3 decided to team up for this one and we've got something special and unique for you guys this week. It's a new year and we're approaching from a different angle just to keep things fresh. To start things off, We composed an original Electronica tune for the session titled 'Simulation Theory' which sets the stage for an abstract and multifaceted journey. Sw3rv3 starts us off with some techy vibes, working from back to front on this first section, leading with some of the heavier tracks of the 2 hour set, dropping a couple bangers and drum heavy tunes from Benny L and Soul Intent. Afterwards we fall into some aesthetics with airy electronica sounds by Inhmost. Following the break we roll into the 170 realm with various accents and energy. After the transition to Disc 2, B.Helix brings the listeners a different sound with the same abstract approach and similar style in sequencing. Utilizing various vibes, genres, and subgenres, He takes us on a ride thru laidback electronica sounds, driving tribal rhythms, spoken word, and smooth, artistic transitions between various spectrums of sound, closing the session with the airy and calm self produced track 'Velvet' (Available for free download here: https://on.soundcloud.com/kxaePkxPfNdEfqJL7 ). A truly talented artist of the craft and member of the culture. 

This two hour session came together well I think, Discs 1 and 2 compliment each other nicely, We hope you enjoy the story. As always we appreciate you taking the time to listen and sharing your feedback. Let us know what you think in the comments and give a like and a share if you're feelin' the vibe. Keep it Locked!

Abstract Series_03 (B.Helix & Sw3rv3) 'Simulation Theory'

When I put together Volume 1 (Synthetic Rebellion) I'd given up on a mix i'd been working on, dealing with a bout of writers block, threw all my different tunes into a single palette and just mixed whatever came to mind. It was a different mix than anything I'd ever played before but it was cool, not focusing so much on linear mixing but just a flow of sounds, tracks, and samples that blended together. Anyways, that's what bore the Abstract Series. Oftentimes real creativity comes on the heels of frustration. 

That mix caught the attention of B.Helix as he shared a similar mixing style and he showed interest in collaborating with me on the concept. He's an artist and producer with a long history in music, not just electronic music but playing instruments, promoting, and just generally being involved in the music scene for a long time. Ben is a talented and humble musician and I'm honored to have him and his loyal listeners here to contribute to this thing we call Sound Stream Sessions, which started as a simple way to share and post mixes amongst my friends here locally, and over the years has taken on a life of it's own.

Volume 4.

B.Helix is ridin' solo for this fifth installment of the series using his signature style of blending different vibes and bpms, all while painting a coherent piece of art for the listeners to lose themselves in. 

He starts us off with an erie, suspenseful intro, fitting the artwork crisply, flowing into a steady and smooth vibe with jazzy and atmospheric undertones. From there, we're off as he melds a wide range of sounds, utilizing tribal vibes, house, and experimental electronica, weaved together tightly at the seams. Never a dull moment, keeping the listener engaged, flowing efficiently thru various genres and tempos.

Definitely one of my top picks from the Abstract Series as the session represents the concept behind it so well. Buckle up folks. Enjoy the ride! 

Thanks for listening and keep it locked!

Abstract Series _04 (B.Helix) 'Realms Unknown'

Greetings and happy Friday guys and gals. I've got a fresh volume of the Abstract series for you to kick off the weekend and as wifey gets closer to bringing us our newest addition to the family it may be my last session for a while. 

Didn't intend on this one, it kind of just happened. Those kind of mixes are usually the most fun for me as i'm sure most of our DJ friends out there can relate.

'Re-Imagination' starts off a little different from the other Abstract mixes with some high energy rollers and vocals, slowly descending into more diverse vibes as the session progresses. A lot of different flavors here; rollers, funk, jazzy, a bit of minimal, progressive, atmospheric, drumfunk, and electronica. A little something for everyone, with a section featuring 4 tunes from Dash off his new EP's as well as 3 tunes off of Sevin's Freebies LP. It's a fun mix and i think it expands the frame of the Abstract Series a bit, which has been a nice outlet for more diverse selections on the page.

Hoping to feature some fresh talent in the series here soon so keep an eye out for new Abstract mixes and if you're interested in being a part of it, send your music to stricktlyswerve@gmail.com or hit me up here on SC.

As always thanks for listening and keep it locked!

Welcome to another volume of the Abstract Series, number six and this time we're excited to be welcoming a new artist to the Abstract adventure. Beknoxx blesses the page with a new facet of sound for the series with 'Thinkin' Of You'. A deep and emotion drawing halftime session from this talented veteran of the Drum & Bass scene, fellow member of Mobile Unit, and Resident DJ for Sound Stream Sessions. Bryan starts us off with the engaging and suspenseful track 'Understanding' from Hidden Element & Physics then meshing effortlessly into 'Forgotten Scores' from Hatti Vatti & Es.tereo, keeping the vibe spooky and full of diverse sound and depth. An excellent addition to the Abstract Series, B.Helix and myself are honored and excited to have him aboard, I'm sure you will enjoy the ride, so give it a listen, like and share if you're feelin' the vibe and as always we thank you for listening.

Abstract Series _06 (Beknoxx) 'Thinkin' Of You'


Ok so hear me out...This one's a little different. 

We've been working on 'Two Tokes' for a couple months now, it kind of took on a life of it's own through the creative process. With previous collaborations, B.Helix and myself have done large sections and meshed them together, with this one we wanted to use a different formula. Six sections, three from both of us, alternating through the course of the mix. Starting off with an abstract mesh of samples (TF?) from myself, melding into a delicious tune from The Cinematic Orchestra featuring Roots Manuva, which kind of sets the tone for the journey. Abstract 7 is more of a Cinematic Journey of Sound, utilizing various cultural sounds and styles. Both of us tried to meet each others styles halfway, delving into hip hop, lyrical flavors, driving middle eastern sounds, live, big room tracks, deep vocals, complex drums, deep and trippy breakdowns, ambient sounds with spoken word, original production from B. Helix and various tracks peppered with eclectic samples to add a bit of flavor. 

Our Magnus Opus as a duo thus far I believe.

We Didn't really have a plan going in as to the overall feel of the session but it began to take shape as the set evolved. 'Two Tokes' is an auditory trip, a journey of sound. Take the time to listen all the way through if you can and you'll see what we mean. Hope you enjoy the ride, we enjoyed the creative process.


As always, thanks for listening! Let us know what you think in the comments and give a like and share if you enjoyed the ride.

Abstract Series _07 (B.Helix & Sw3rv3) 'Two Tokes'

Welcome back to weird, and the Abstract series with myself Sw3rv3, and the homie B. Helix, for another wild ride through the Ether. This session was inspired by our recent set together at Fuzz's 50th birthday party event here in Roanoke VA this past July, it was a great show and fun to get together and throw down for a live event. Great atmosphere, great music, good times.

As usual We've got two different flavors of different in the same session for you today and we're sure you'll enjoy the dish.  Plenty of Psychedelic, Electric, Eclectic, and Soulful sounds here, some deep spoken word joints with blaring baselines accented of course with a wide array of multicultural vibrations and you know I had to throw just a bit of Drumfunk/DnB in there to make things complicated. 

It's good to be back. Let us know what you think in the comments and give a like and share if you're feelin' the vibe. Thanks for listening and keep it Locked!
