The mix on Soundcloud

In this mix Myom showcases an ever-evolving continuum of roots conscious but progressive, non-nostalgic productions in the 170 bpm range. It is a compilation of darker drum´n´bass tracks that expand the boundaries of the genre, by layering their rhythms over a half time feel and incorporating influences from footwork/juke, trap, dubstep and jungle.

Fresh tunes by classic artists like Digital & Spirit, Dom & Roland or Amit meet a new generation of productions from the likes of Om Unit, Fracture or Stray. If you need prove, that drum´n´bass is still an interesting electronic music genre, that hasn´t dumbed down to just another generic, in-your-face club sound, listen carefully.

By carefully choosing his selection, layering tracks to carefully transform atmospheres and craft evolving vibes, Myom slowly draws you into the mix: At first you´re just tapping your foot, then nodding your head until you find yourself bouncing frantically around the room, before you are released with a stomping, emotional finale.

Musical explorer Myom´s podcasts don´t just promise a musical journey, they deliver with meticulous selection and mixing. His more than 15 years of experience behind the decks shine through his podcasts, that document his continuing effort to push the art of the dj mix. His recordings are unedited live takes with slight imperfections, because Myom favors ‚real‘ over ‚perfect‘ anytime.
