Mix of the Month January 2010: dBridge & Instra:mental

There is no doubt that dBridge & Instra:mental are at the top of their respective games right now. Through their Autonomic Podcast, DJ sets, NonPlus+ label and soon to be Autonomic label they have been writing, playing and supporting some of the most beautiful music being made anywhere right now. It was no surprise that they were asked to step up and produce the next installment of the legendary FabricLive mix series, FabricLive 50. If this promo mix is anything to go by, the actual mix is going to be something truly incredible.

I seriously can not recommend this mix highly enough.

More incredible music: Plus Ultra

duncan — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 09:50:47 +0000

I am super excited about what is happening in drum and bass right now. The last twelve months has seen an explosion of experimentation, new talent emerging, and some of the old dogs are definitely learning some new tricks.

Plus Ultra is a fusion of one of the scenes most successful and experienced producers, D Bridge, and one of the new school (well, kinda), Instra:mental. These two heavyweights have come together to produce one of the most innovative mix series I have heard in a long time.

The Autonomic Podcasts seamlessly fuse drum and bass with the duos other influences. Things like minimal techno, IDM, dubstep, and stuff I have no idea what to call. They also feature plenty of tunes from the two artists themselves.

These are definitely not drum and bass mixes. They are just full of incredible music.

If you are an electronic music fan in general then you should definitely be subscribed to these podcasts.
