"I felt compelled to make this mix during my mandatory hotel isolation period, depicting certain moods I was flowing in between; reflective, sensual, longing, hope... suspended in time. The tracks are very special to me and remind me mostly of missing loved ones. I really wanted to focus on speech and lyric - especially female vocals. The mix is actually a vessel for femine energy and some of what that represents to me. Snippets from the “100% Genuine” CD released on Rephlex records have been woven throughout the mix, a collection of real phone recordings from a dating agency."

@roza-terenzi aka. Katie Campbell, has escaped Berlin lockdown and is currently on the first leg of her NZ tour, starting with Beacon Festival in Auckland. 

She delivers us a pretty special mix for our 24th instalment in the series - a little more down-tempo and reminiscent of her iso-diaries while in NZ quarantine.

No Moon - Where Do We Go From Here?

The seventh edition of my mix series Get It is here, and this time it's dedicated to breakbeats, with a luscious selection of modern breakbeat tracks, mixed lovingly on vinyl by myself. There are deep tracks, crazy tracks, minimal stuff, moments that remind you of old skool ragga jungle, and nods to the early 90's breakbeat hardcore sound. Enjoy!

Get It 007: Get Broken (Modern Breakbeat Mix - All Vinyl)

A new addition to the Dekmantel family & a firm BR favourite too, it's the brilliant Roza Terenzi.

It's impossible to talk about the sound of DjRUM without using the word cinematic. Whatever he does, it has a feeling of grand importance, widescreen elegance and moving emotion that elevates it way above a dance floor soundtrack. Throughout the course of his career, the UK artist has drawn on downtempo, blurred the lines between drum & bass and dubstep and always imbued his music with spoken words snippets, piano and chamber instruments. His Portrait With Firewood album was a real high-water mark in 2018, and last year his latest outing on R&S once again managed to draw on every aspect of electronic music and come up with something all his own. 

His mix for us this week is a perfect ethereal rave that finds plenty of beauty in the sparse rhythms he draws on from the worlds of garage, techno and drum & bass. There is a delicacy and elegance throughout, even when the beats hit hard and fast as they do at the overdriven and manic mid point. The amen breaks come thick and fast after that, but eventually melt away to propulsive ambient soundscapes that suspend you in time and space. Blissful.

Swapping styles, the A side is rounded out by Run - a melancholic slice of rolling break switching to drift away to.

A totally improvised set recorded live for BBC1Xtra using Reason again mixing up some old samples. Some of it is not technically squared off in the correct way for the non-dancing techno zombies :-). This is old school - going with the feeling.
