While some artists frequently post mixes or sets for all to enjoy on SoundCloud, many artists choose to keep them at a minimum to entice fans to enjoy their live performances in person. So, when a rare mix from the latter type of artist comes to light, it’s always a trip knowing what vibes they create in a live setting with their song selection and progression. My favourite part of these elusive mixes is the odd throwback tune thrown into the mix, as it offers insight into the origins and influences of some of my favourite producers.
This exact scenario happened a few months back when an infrequent mix from Chee blessed my SoundCloud feed, only to be amazed by his unusual yet uncanny track selection. The track that surprised me the most was the cinematic ‘On Our Own’ from Modestep and Culprate, a true gem from the former’s 2015 London Road album. As two pioneers in heavy bass music, there’s no denying that Modestep and Culprate have their fair share of classics. Hearing ‘On Our Own’ brought back a huge wave of nostalgia, with influences from garage, dubstep and drum & bass all coming together to hit you right in the feels.
