For our first mix of the year, we have Calgary-based Drum & Bass DJ and promoter, Swayze, who truly embodies the collective and cultural spirit of the genre. Representing Sub Chakra, a collective engaged in spreading soundsystem culture, Swayze is an incredibly important cog of Calgary's thriving Drum & Bass scene.

When asked to deliver a mix for Unchained, Swayze dug deep into his influences that originally got him to love the genre.

"This mix was created with a few things in mind for myself, for one keeping it true to the sounds I love and the ones that originally got me into drum & bass. The softer lighter sounds but with those heavy rollers also."
