Today’s Resident Advisor podcast features a mix from Commix, a group reknowned for their drum and bass sound; however lately their sound has taken a shift towards the house and techno vein.
Similar to Blu Mar Ten, Commix is renowned for drum and bass however a close listen to their releases shows that they pay little attention to expectations and instead draw influences from a wide range of slower and more soulful styles. This is most evident in Commix’s latest release ‘Re:Call To Mind,’ a remix compilation that tapped the production duties of Marcel Dettman, Sigha, Burial, and A Made Up Sound to name a few.
Similar to their latest release, this podcast draws heavily on the house influences of Commix’s George Levings and Guy Brewer. Quite an enjoyable podcast that has been turning the heads of dnb and minimalism fans alike.

TweetThere is, and always has been, a lot on offer within the drum & bass scene. There is loads of stuff that we are really into. Some really cool producers making some wicked experimental stuff. But at the same time, much like any scene, there are some really bad productions too. So bad, in fact, that it would be hard to actually describe it as music. It’s also a shame that the worst stuff seems to be the most popular within drum & bass, as it generally scares off your average intelligent listener before they’ve had a chance to seek out the good stuff.
