I'll be delving into the sounds of South Africa by night, so here's a little teaser mix for a taste featuring Black Motion, Bhizer and V.O!

So often, I never get around to actually releasing the mixes that I've recorded. Perfectionism is a trait I'm slowly trying to eradicate. But I've flirted a lot with ego death this year, and sometimes we just need to be our Self Less.

Self Less

Outer South.

A distant sonic utopia. Some called her the shapeless world. Transmitting frequencies frozen in time from the depths of the cosmos. Sounds free from the constraints of borders and genre, birthed from the nexus between cultures, where beautiful fusions are formed.

These are the first signs of life from the fabled planet in aeons.

This is Transmission • One

NRG 9000

Over the past 5 years, South Africa has developed into a thriving hotbed for Drum & Bass and Jungle music, pulsating through the country's collective consciousness and creating a bustling underground filled with top music, exciting new talent and pitch-perfect crossovers with labels, artists and listeners from all around the globe. This track is no exception. SA talent Dopplershift has linked up with the big boss Melinki's enigmatic Four Corners Music imprint for an exhilarating, breakbeat-infused effort, with a deep, pulsating sub that's akin to a deep-sea submersible, and a warm vocal that fuses lovingly with the stirring, jungle-tinged wobbles and bounces of yesteryear. Thoroughly refreshing.
