Let’s just come out with it: Gobe’s recent departure for the great white north has left The Big Reds slightly splintered (although we’re all counting on some amazing reunion gigs at some point later this year
). Nevertheless, all three members are taking this hiatus as an opportunity to develop their individual skills, styles & image. Case in point, the latest podcast from Rhythmicon. Whether alongside his fellow Big Reds (Gobe & Frame) or playing a solo set, Rhythmicon has always been a steady mixer of head-wise tech stylings & dancefloor heaters. A malleable DJ, the newest sub⎹div podcast sees Rhythmicon project a sleek, streamlined version of underground bass music; 2step slink, UKFunky & cavernous dub all interact here, rounded out with one of the most fitting desserts in existence: classic Photek. Words from da healer…
Rhythmicon: “When creating a mixset, I try to find a theme, then collect a pallette of tracks that fit into that vibe. My goal is to put something together that you can listen to, put away, then come back to a while later and still be able to connect to that original sound. In this case, I think there’s a coastal influence coming through; lots of rainforest atmosphere, melow pads, and intricate percussion. I wanted to include a spectrum of styles, so there’s hints of dub, future garage, breaks, jungle & UK funky. I hope you enjoy listening.” Download & tracklist after the jump…
