Drum and bass with: Sandtone – Mesoscale

I’ve been enjoying the Amol Rajan ‘we need jungle’ viral remix meme, albeit Jungle was never my thing. But I do like a bit of light drum and bass. So here’s a classy example care of Sandtone. Sandtone is a Salt Lake City-based artist with a 12-year background in music production. He has “an academic foundation in Earth science and a love for southern Utah’s geology.” Here’s new track Mesoscale. Mesoscale means intermediate between micro and macro. But there’s nothing middling about this track. It piles on the dreamy with more than half an eye for an evil bass line. It opens with typical hi ht ..read more

Drum and Bass on the rise with: Left-6teen – Levitate
ACID TED » Drum and Bass

Ease into Christmas with this delicate drum and bass track Levitate from new artist Left-6teen. Left-6teen is from Manchester, UK but is clearly highly US influenced in writing, referring to “Based out of Manchester” but this has that UK ease with genre blending. Levitate is a light, sparkly tune. It mixes a rich bass line with high end dnb beats and a stutter vocal that comes over like a chopped guitar line. And then the whole thing is washed through keyboards. The track is relaxed, sophisticated and slightly stunning for a first release. There’s a confidence in the production and the way th ..read more

Friday is getting down with Lux Galore and some light breakbeats. Lux Galore is an artist from Copenhagen, Denmark specialising in vapourware and breakbeats. Here’s his new singlesellingthedream 家から遠い which features some nifty guitar work from RJ Pasin. sellingthedream 家から遠い is a delicious blend of a fabulous light guitar riff from Pasin, some pitched vocal, and breakbeats. It’s a heady concoction. The central guitar riff is memorable and uplifting despite its brevity. That’s a classic but hard thing to deliver. No surprise that Lux Galore says “When I heard the RJ Pasin-sample, I instantly k ..read more

Beats go boom with: 2 SiiK – Silver Surfer

West Coast drum and bass from 2 SiiK. 2 SiiK is a drum and bass DJ and producer from California. His work has a bass heaviness and an explosive party sound. Here’s new track Silver Surfer. Silver Surfer is pitched as a drum and bass track. But it doesn’t quite have the dnb beats we’d be used to in the UK. This is a bit more Freeform and owes as much to US dubstep as anything else. This is an unashamedly upbeat, bouncy party anthem. Not subtle and it simply doesn’t care. You want lift off in a club, you want this. Opening with an upbeat keyboard line and bouncing beats this offers a glittery a ..read more

Purposeful drum and bass with: Valdy – Purpose
ACID TED » Drum and Bass

I’m struggling a bit ahead of Mondays funeral but here’s a track to gladden the heart. Some drum and bass from Valdy. Don’t really know anything about Valdy, save that he’s a new producer from the UK. But musically there’s a lot of maturity here in the construction of the tracks. Here’s Purpose from a twin track release with Distance. Purpose opens with a bit of sub bass menacingly swirling around a one note piano line. The bass comes on stronger before the beats are unleashed. The combination of that piano line and some pretty hardcore beats is intriguing. It offers a touch of pop dynamic wi ..read more

Liquid drum and bass roller from: Children of our Stars – Bliss #dnb
ACID TED » Drum and Bass
by acidted
6M ago
I’m not sure I can cope with any great intensity to start this week. Here’s Children of our Stars with a light liquid drum and bass roller called Bliss. Children of our Stars are a duo from Munich, Germany. Their work is characterised by a mix of orchestral and electronic. This blend can be a bit too sweet for my tastes. But on new release Bliss they mix sharp dnb beats with a piano that allow light and dark, sweet and sour, classical and electronic to work in harmony. Bliss has a fair bit of an early 00s feel to it. Think Kosheen in the way that the female vocal acts not only to deliver lyri ..read more

Drum and Bass or Jungle? Suso or Cxnterfeit #DrumAndBass #Jungle #Electronic #NewMusic
ACID TED » Drum and Bass

A couple of drum and bass or jungle tracks from Zuso and Cxnterfeit. Zuso (Gabriel Cuenca) is from Sydney, Australia and here’s a lovely atmospheric drum and bass single Higher. Higher is an almost weightless track. Or at least initially. Full of floaty synths with wide open spaces and light skippy drum and bass beats. It’s kind of a shock when the bass comes in to undercut all that has gone before and to give the track a presence and depth that really takes this track to somewhere special. A proper track for summer or if not that a springtime full of delayed blossoms as England is right now ..read more

Bass is a wonderful thing. Done right it can cut you in two or squash you like a bug. And the bass on Inversity’s new single is just brilliant. Inversity is a new music producer from Québec City, Canada. He has an interest in an atmospheric and uplifting type of sound. And that’s what you get on Enlight. A long time DJ for his youtube channel (2013), Inversity started producing in 2019 after being influenced by many drum & bass and trance producers.  Released on his own Inversion Recordings, new single Enlight takes the soaring synths of trance and marries them to precise beats and a ..read more

Ambient Sunday does drum and bass with: Children of Our Stars, and Moleman #Ambient #DrumAndBass

I didn’t have anything properly Ambient that I fancied this week but liquid drum and bass did tickle my fancy. Here’s tracks from Children of Our Stars, and Moleman. Germany’s Children of Our Stars say that they like “Combining orchestral elements with electronic music.” Not always easy bedfellows but new single Wastelands manages to straddle the divide successfully. Wastelands arrives on tickles of piano and angelic vocals. Beats skitter around but it’s when the punchy bass arrives that things really take off. This is all about the stars above and the earth below. A five minute soaring excur ..read more

Today’s three offerings have a focus on the beats that runs from hip hop funk, through breakbeats to drum and bass via artists Hot Mustard, Amparo, and Karim Kahar. Hot Mustard is first up. This is the US-based instrumental recording duo of Jack Powell (Guitar) and Nick Carusos (Bass). They take hip hop and slam it into funk and sixties sounds. It comes over a bit like DJ Shadow on steroids. Here’s Mustard Green the new single from the duo, ahead of their new album Seconds (due March 2023). This is a big muscular funky tune with big blasts of brass. Mustard Green opens with chopped guitar and ..read more
