Parsnip ~ Interviewed on 2SER's Static

Pre-order: https://debba.bandcamp.com/album/bassweight-nostalgia-vol-3

'Bassweight Nostalgia Vol. 3' continues @debbauk’s self-released series, exploring the depths of UK bass and club music. The next instalment contrasts light and dark - two sides of the same late-night dancefloor euphoria.

Balancing radiant melodies and pressure-heavy low ends, this release traces Debba’s evolving sound palette through chrome synths, vocal flickers and dense percussion.

Premiere: Debba 'Blush'

Killer mix by our swedish friend and always curious digger, globetrotter and scuba diver Marco Gegenheimer aka MLiR (Modern Life is Rubbish). Here's a few words about the mix from the man himself: 
"Here is a part of a 5 hour set that was recorded at the lovely Kasheme in Zurich, a place that feels like home to me. I brought a lot of records there from my collection with many different genres and nugs. Big thanks for having me on the MI series. Enjoy!"

French producer @marino2dj lands on @useless-seconds with 'AS_FWD', bringing big soundsystem material with the weighty sound palettes of dubstep and dub steppers.

The massive low-end power of ‘homie’ carries suspenseful synths, sharp drums, and a classic but tasteful vocal - all topped off with gunshot samples.

Premiere: marino2 'homie'

A true craftsman of deep, timeless house and techno, XDB delivers a mix that captures the essence of his sound: hypnotic, patient, and beautifully refined. Drawing from decades of collecting and playing records, he pieces together a journey that feels both classic and current, with subtle shifts and warm textures woven throughout.

“The invitation to contribute to the fabric podcast series and do my debut in the club, playing room one together with Craig Richards and Peach, added big time to an already fantastic year.

What I did for this mix, was going through the shelves to pick a bunch of solid records in combination with a selection of my newest purchases, included a few promos and some unreleased dubplates. Deep stuff as always, but also a quite diverse mix, 32 tracks in total stretched into a 2 hour journey for your listening pleasure. I hope you enjoy”

He makes his fabric debut on the 15th November.

Up-and-coming DJ and Rinse FM resident @delilahsaxena makes her debut in the Mixmag Lab London with a house music masterclass – delivering a serious amount of groove to the @chaoslabel takeover.

The next release on Ben Hemsley’s label @beberecordings brings together two hotly-tipped artists of the moment, @samalfred567 and @newtoneamsterdam, in a special two-track collaborative EP.

Title track 'Energy' sets the rhythm of the release with punching grooves and driving house intensity - a captivating mix of chunky kicks and throbbing bass carve out the intro before this dense dance roller opens out through spiralling pad patterns and bright fills.

Premiere: NewTone & Sam Alfred 'Energy'
