Weekend Warm-Up No. 11: Liquidity

Weekend Warm-Up No. 11: Liquidity

Words and list by Kevin Madert

There’s perhaps nothing more uplifting than a well-executed liquid drum ‘n’ bass tune. Need proof? Look no further than the kick-off track of this ten-pack, Fred V & Grafix’s “Major Happy”; those subtle pulsations atop that eternally familiar 808 drum pattern are aimed straight at your feels. That’s not to say it won’t get heavy – Blokhe4d and Dirtyphonics can attest to that. But even as it builds and crashes like some great sonic wave it still maintains that sly smoothness; nary a trace of the oft-abrasive tendencies of drum ‘n’ bass to be found.

Tracklist:

Fred V & Grafix – Major Happy
Sigma – Nobody To Love
Sub Focus – Out The Blue (Ft. Alice Gold)
Maduk – Don’t Be Afraid
ShockOne – Home (Ft. Reija Lee)
