Mixtress b2b Pete Cannon | London
Keep Hush Freeform Weekender powered by Relentless
Mixtress b2b Pete Cannon at the Keep Hush Freeform Weekender is what happens when breakbeat scholars decide to rewrite the rulebook in real-time, a drum & bass and breakbeat hybrid that feels both academic and utterly feral. The room is a pressure chamber of amens and sub-bass, with a crowd locked in a 168 BPM head-nod, united in the pursuit of the perfect roll. Averaging 168.4 BPM across a tight 162-171 range, the set uses 12A as a harmonic anchor, with shifts to 3B and 10B introducing darker, more complex moods. The energy—50% low, 38% mid, 12% high—creates a balanced assault where drums and basslines dominate, but melodic snippets like vocals cut through the chaos.
Their mixing is technical and fearless, blending junglist breaks with contemporary bass experiments. For highlights, Cheff the Boy's 'You're the One' is an 18-minute opener that builds from ambient drift to breakcore frenzy. ByteMapper's 'Memory Is a Fickle Thing' offers glitchy introspection, while Fracture's 'Give Me Love' feat. Fox brings soulful liquid D&B warmth.
Fcukers' 'Play Me' is a minimal roller, and 808 State's 'Pacific' Groove Jeep Mix is a vintage rave relic expertly placed. The journey begins with the epic build of 'You're the One', peaks in the nostalgic rush of Goldie's 'Inner City Life' remix, and closes on that same high, leaving us breathless and craving a rewind.
