TECHNIMATIC d'n'b DJ set in The Lab LDN
Liquid D&B sets always attract the absolute softies of the rave scene, and The Lab LDN is full of them today. You've got lads who normally scowl at 174 BPM closing their eyes and having deep, emotional epiphanies by the water cooler. It's proper lovely, even if half of them look like they're about to start crying into their lagers. Soulful, rolling, and deeply emotive, with the sunset streaming through the blinds of the Mixmag office.
This TECHNIMATIC live set glides at a crisp 172.9 BPM. Bouncing effortlessly between 12A, 4B, and 3B keys, the harmonic mixing is liquid gold. The energy balance is perfect, with a heavy sub-bass foundation supporting those sweeping, euphoric mid-range vocals. The TECHNIMATIC The Lab LDN tracklist is an absolute masterclass in soulful Drum & Bass.
Blending LTJ Bukem's legendary "Horizons" with the Ivy Lab remix of Anushka's "Never Can Decide" shows ultimate respect to both the foundation and the future. They start the emotional rollercoaster immediately with the opening track, their own "Perseverance". The absolute tear-jerker moment is DRS & LSB's incredible "The View", before they roll out smoothly with the closing track, "Tectonic".
