Jousey

A Twisted Frequency Takeover in Wellington promises drum and bass in its pure, unadulterated form, and Jousey's set is a focused, rolling meditation on the genre's deeper, more atmospheric side. The room is a pressure chamber for sub-bass, where the air itself seems to vibrate at 161 BPM. Jousey maintains a tight 158-162 BPM range, largely operating in the expansive, melancholic key of 12A, which gives the set a consistent, immersive quality.

The energy is profoundly low-dominant, with that 0.71 average signifying a deep, resonant foundation of sub-bass and warm pads over which intricate, Amen-break inspired percussion dances. It's a lesson in suspense and release within a high-BPM framework, where atmospherics are as important as the breakbeats. The selection is impeccable: opening with the 24-minute odyssey of 'Technimatic - Inner Sanctuary' is a bold, patient move that draws the listener into a world of lush synths and rolling drums.

'J:Kenzo - Skatta (V.I.P)' is a dark, dubwise roller with immense weight, 'Cesco - Up the Place' injects a shot of classic, jump-up energy, and 'Sam Binga - Ayo' closes things with its unique fusion of dancehall vocals and D&B rhythms. The journey is a deep dive: from the extended opener 'Inner Sanctuary', through the heavy subs of 'Skatta', to the vocal-led finale of 'Sam Binga - Ayo (feat. Redders)'.
