Keep Hush Live: Sherelle presents
Swisha takes the stage for Sherelle’s Keep Hush Live presentation, and we’re thrust into a world where drum & bass tempos meet footwork’s frantic cut-ups. The vibe is high-energy and slightly unhinged, a room full of dancers ready for the 160 BPM assault. This is drum & bass with a strong footwork influence, averaging 158.8 BPM and heavily leaning on the 12A Camelot key for a cohesive, driving feel. The energy profile is fascinating: over 81% low-end dominance means it’s all about sub-bass pressure and rhythmic complexity, with mids at 14% providing just enough melodic glue.
Swisha’s mixing is fast and precise, chopping between tracks like 'Thunderball - It’s Your DJ' and 'DJ Rashad - Work 07' with juke-inspired flair. The BPM stays locked in the 158-162 range, ensuring a relentless pace. In the dig, 'Psyfactor - Outwards' is a highlight for its atmospheric pads and rolling breaks, while 'Erykah Badu - On & On' gets a twisted, footwork edit that’s both nostalgic and fresh. 'Hedex - Rhythm & Gash' is a crowd-pleasing D&B anthem, and 'DJ Rashad - U See Dem Hoez 09' pays homage to the footwork godfather.
'The Marx Brothers - Hello I Must Be Going' adds a surreal, sample-based interlude. The journey begins with the classic vibe of 'Thunderball - It’s Your DJ', peaks with the chaotic energy of the footwork edits, and winds down on the deep, reflective notes of 'DJ Paul - Floating Around In Xtc'. This Swisha DJ set tracklist from Keep Hush is a masterclass in bass-speed fusion.
