I have been listening to and loving this podcast for a wee while now, but hesitated to post it, reasons undetermined. The podcast is by D-Bridge and Instra:mental, and is something a little different from the usual mixes I post. Autonomic is a new sound of drum and bass; this is drum and bass 2009 (10/11/12/…?).
So, what makes this so special? It’s all about the influences. Think Boards of Canada, think Burial; think power ballads, think minimal house, think ’80s, think funk, think love songs without words. Mix it with drum and bass and you get Autonomic. The podcasts are a mix of influences of the sound (so, not drum and bass at all), and of course the drum and bass being produced from these influences. For me, with Boards of Canada being my #1 played artist, I just find this sound completely irresistible. It is basically mixing my favourite melodic sounds with my favourite beat. Fucking. Awesome.
Layer 6 was just posted, which in my opinion is the best one so far. And they get better each time.
I suggest you get this on the download and have a wee listen.
Now Jake will not have to be RSSed to my brain anymore!
