Andrew: - This mix explores the “Grey Area” sound, which in my opinion is some of the most interesting, forward-thinking, and unique music being made right now. A collection of artists associated with and influenced by Samurai Music sub-label Horo are examining how techno, drum & bass, and ambient music intersect with one another through varying time signatures, BPMs, and beat patterns. It’s a sound which is more than the sum of its parts, and it’s been a big inspiration to me since discovering it. The mathematics of how it works is fascinating, and what’s really exciting is that its underlying principles are generalisable to other styles of music. Even though the “Grey Area” sound is predominantly darker, moodier, and grittier, it’s possible to apply its philosophy to a wide range of styles and vibes. The potential for experimentation and creativity that discovering this music has created for me has me feeling as excited as I did when I first learned how to DJ. Capturing that excitement is what I’ve essentially tried to do with this mix: honour the original creators of the sound while also interpreting it in my own way and applying it to other styles I love as well.
