_wirehead::s_mix_recordings

Hello. I wanted to record a set that would represent a "project declaration". Meaning, this is meant to show off specific influences I have from the musical landscape, demonstrate where I think my own music fits into said landscape, and also provide an example of what kind of tracks I would play out. This is more of an example of what I might play in a higher energy, later slot in a night :D

Expect to hear some darkstep [or skullstep if you are feeling //e|d|g|y//], neurofunk [this genre means too many things now], technoid [fake, old, necromancied from 2002, obscure, hard to find, is this just neuro?], some deep/dark/minimal/techy drum and bass for pacing [we need more adjectives to lump together here instead of creating a cohesive genre name], and a splash of crossbreed [DnB's double salted black liquorice].

There are some unreleased tracks by myself that I think are just barely good enough to put in a mix :D. 

I had a lot of fun making this mix, and I hope you find something you're looking for in here.

Recommended Use Cases: 
- Programming after that regrettable 4th cup of coffee
- An anxiety riddled midnight walk in a poorly lit city park
- Sets of 20 on the leg press
- Vandalize your home office

I recently had the pleasure of DJing at a house party for a friend's birthday party. It was the 1-2am set time, last of the night. There was a Rane One MKII (that thing is sick), so myself and others played sets for the first time on said controller. There are a few moments in here where I leave an effect on, or a high pass doesn't work because you have to toggle it on (which I am not used to). I think I did a good job of improvising around mistakes when they happen, and I had a lot of fun putting this set together. My goal here was to showcase a really broad spectrum of the darker, techy side of drum and bass.

Just as well, I played my own song in the middle that I've been working on for the last 2 weeks. It somehow has turned out quite playable, despite not a tonne of effort on the mastering end of things there. I think it's just easier to master less busy arrangements without it coming out super crispy. It's an industrial hardcore / crossbreed track with big buss-distorted kick/bass stuff in it. I think it's quite fun, and fits into the set well.

Shout out to the hosts, the other DJs, all my friends who were there, and birthdays (and those who have them).

Till next time <3
