Unchained Mix Series 040 - Mars Kasei (US)

Mojo provides an energetic mix, showcasing what talented producers are able to do with a nice break. In the mix he blends breakbeat, with electro and jungle. He makes good use of old school sounds such as acid, classic rave stabs, tape delays and the amen break. Along the old school he got new school interpretations of the older sound. Mojo likes forward thinking music and good mixdowns, with an old school touch. Thats why we think his mix enriches our guestmix palette.

Whilst a well-known force in underground bass in New Zealand for some time, Paige Julia is now being embraced by the global music community as one of the very profound artists emanating from the south pacific island’s thriving Drum and Bass scene. 

In the run up to her Dreams EP out on Unchained this June, we asked Paige to put together a special mix for us. Packed with plenty of her own dubs, this is a rich selection of both the elegant and tastefully dirty end of jungle, half-time and drum'n'bass.

Unchained Mix Series 042 by Paige Julia (NZ)

王若迷 (Wong Yeuk Mai) hails from Hong Kong and grew up on the front row of nu-metal band shows and has deep roots in heavy-weight music. Her musical taste was shaped by the early days of attending Psychedelic Trance gatherings by Psyonic Boom in 2013 and DnB nights by Heavy Hong Kong. After listening to lots of bass music she was inspired to DJ in 2014; from then on she has been keeping herself busy with gigs.

王若迷's specialty is Hi-Tech at 180bpm+. Her selection aim was to first make herself dance, but now the new direction in recent days is to express more of her musical tastes.

Her heavy and naughty style is well received in the Hong Kong underground DnB and psytrance scene - there are no signs of stopping for 王若迷.

Unchained Mix Series 043 by 王若迷 (Hong Kong)

Woah (FREE DOWNLOAD)

Sent from upon Odin's great bastions of Valhalla. A journey. A message. A hapless event and mission throughout Europe of the Middle Ages. As many of that gods before them hath tried, and, to only fall as victim to. The rebirth of Drum & Bass, risen through the ashes of an event so forlorn by time itself, only the chosen few may even harness the overwhelming and seemingly catastrophic power that in turn brings renewal of life and the god within all of us. ‘Ragnarok’ from our next highlight artist ARCANE UNDERGROUND from Kelowna, Canada, takes you on a medieval journey back to the misty treacherous shores of 8th century Scandinavia, embarking on a quest like never before seen, felt or even heard.

Arcane Underground - Ragnarok

4/D mix
For the mind,  when it needs rhythm and subtle blends and a few sly cuts 

Different wayz!!!😏😏😏🤫🤫🤫 15/8/25.

Javano lands in our premiere spotlight today with a deep, moving slice of leftfield 170 business. Undoubtedly influenced by the now decade-old Autonomic movement, Southbound is an exploration of unusual rhythms and cinematic soundscapes; the string section in the bridge is just blissful. Look out for this one dropping July 10th via Javano's Brackwood Audio imprint.

Javano - Southbound [Premiere]

Veteran tech-stepper Trace returns to CNVX, this time teaming up with Kid Drama and Berlin based Survey, delivering 4 chunky chuggers doused in 90’s nostalgia in the Raise EP.

First up is the title track, Raise. Kid Drama joins Trace to produce a heavyweight sonic fizzer of a bassline, guaranteed to destroy a rig (or live stream from your kitchen) coupled with a stab that sounds like it could be straight off a Lucky Spin record. This track is set to please fans both old and new.

Survey jumps in the mix on Detroit, a tense, almost Source Direct string leads before dropping into sub-heavy drums and snarling reese-like bass. Tight engineering and razor sharp sounds complete this apocalyptic stepper.

Timps is a collaboration filled with industrial oil drum hits. Angry bass waves wash over a minimalistic beat peppered with vocal edits. Attention to detail is paramount here, with a cheeky throwback edit towards the end of the track.

Old-skool intro chords to start and film-like vocal before dropping into a clash of fighting breakbeats over a subsonic bassline. As the track progresses, we hear the introduction of techno elements wrapping up the final collaboration on this second CNVX outing for Trace.

Label: CNVX
Artist: Trace, Kid Drama & Survey

PREMIERE: Trace & Kid Drama - Timps (CNVX015)

We're hyped to have a techstep legend in the premiere spotlight today! Taken from his new EP for CNVX, The Dreamer sees DSCI4 boss Trace teaming up with Berlin duo Survey for a retro-future sci-fi roller; from the spacey pads of the intro through the crunchy breaks and modulated basslines, this is the soul of late 90s dark D&B brought up to the minute with 2020 production techniques, and it sounds glorious. Look for this coming August 14th on Bandcamp!

Title: 2010 Again EP
Cat No. CNVX016
Release Date: 18/09/2020

Kid Drama returns to his label for the first time this year after the well received Ideal Form EP, he continues with his trademark infused mix of autonomic and 90s tech step to create the 2010 Again EP.

Pivot is an 8 minute journey which goes against the current disposable, quick hit club style tunes of today. Drawn out like a long unfolding trip, which could quite easily be the lovechild of Matrix and Krust, the progessive bass stabs and zaps build without any breakdown over the
span of the track. A hypnotic almost technolike offering.
