160FT DEEP MAFIA (YLTCU, CDNephew, Teleport100m & Plisken)
Keep Hush Live: Conair Presents
When a crew calls themselves 160FT DEEP MAFIA, you know you're in for something fast, dark, and uncompromising. This Keep Hush Live session for Conair Presents is a blistering tour through drum & bass and footwork, a set that operates at a heart-pounding 160.8 BPM average and dares you to keep up. The vibe is that of a clandestine bunker session, all focused intensity and sub-bass pressure, where every amen break is a call to arms. Technically, this is precision chaos. Locked into a tight BPM range between 158-162, the mix is a relentless assault, with the key of 7A providing a tense, minor-key backdrop for the frantic rhythms.
The energy balance leans into the low-end for its rolling basslines and the mid-range for its sharp, choppy vocal samples and synth stabs. The mixing is aggressive and rapid-fire, paying homage to the quick-cut styles of jungle and footwork, creating a disorienting yet exhilarating momentum that never lets the floor settle. The crate digging here is expert-level. They open with the sinister, wobbly intro of Buu E. Radley's "Get Da Cheese," immediately establishing a dark, techy tone.
The inclusion of Jake Robertz's "Set Me Free (Sinistarr Remix)" is a punishing, modern dnb roller, while DJ Rashad's "Ghettotekzedit'10" serves as the perfect, chaotic footwork homage to close the set. Throwing in a track like Jimmy Wopo's "They Want" at this tempo is the kind of genre-blending audacity we live for. The journey is a high-velocity sprint: from the ominous intro of "Get Da Cheese," hitting a peak with the relentless drive of the Sinistarr remix, and culminating in the raw, edited glory of DJ Rashad. This 160FT DEEP MAFIA live set is a full tracklist for the speed freaks and bassline connoisseurs.
