Niłch’i (F 109) is no stranger to ambiance and sound design and this is no exception! The opening piano chords and pads are rich, deep and carry a weight behind them and that’s only the beginning. The focus shifts most notably with what appears to be a jaw harp(?) of all instruments and a more ethnic, folk sound with some tight and complex break beats to tie in to the main genre of the song. Everything ebbs and flows like water through out from the chimes to the one shots and reverberates so cleanly and mysteriously. I absolutely adore the very deep and gritty bassline that punches through at times and the dynamic range really shines through with these iterations. This is truly a unique masterpiece and truly immerses you into its world!

Nicolas Dominique – The Spark of Inspiration | Liquid Drum & Bass
Embracing the peaceful and positive vibes from that Coco Pommel artwork, this equally positive and gorgeous instrumental from Nicolas Dominique is such a soothing trip and the heavenly melodies are lulling the soul along the powerful bassline, for a blissful experience!
Nicolas Dominique – The Spark of Inspiration | Liquid Drum & Bass
An inspiring piece to say the least. Nicolas always dishes out a masterful helping of ambiance in their songs. In fact they have a hand in sparking my motivation and design choices. The Spark of Inspiration is a fast-paced atmospheric masterpiece with a piercing melody that doesn’t give us much information to go off but thats the beauty of it. Its not about the song its what YOU make of the song. What do you enjoy? What inspires you?

Daniel Ingram – Open Up Your Eyes (Tripon Remix) | Neurofunk
Tripon is back with a really cool twist on Open Up Your Eyes! Starting off with some sharp and eerie plucks the track quickly builds into an absolute banger with an intense bassline with a shuffled rhythm adding to the madness! Tempest cuts through the mix surprisingly well and the ‘softer’ part that we all know from the original also gets the full treatment with a calmer atmosphere and a little room to take a quick break before we get back into the meat of things! This is one of my favourite remixes of this song to date and if you’re looking for a unique remix, you’ve got one right here!
Lorris – Rafales | Drum & Bass
Lorris bringing out a great D&B track Inspired by Rainbowdash and Omnipony! Another reject from P@D: Skyward but none the less its still Shining! Its a very embracing melody yet very Intense! I like the contrast between eachother and it does my ears great pleasure with listening to it as I’m writing down this HMH article! I look forward to hearing both more from Lorris, as I look forward to Skyward. Great work Lorris!
Lily Stilson – Witches | Drum & Bass / Drumstep
Lily Stilson brings us a fast paced and exciting piece of witchcraft, originally intended to be released around Halloween, however just because it’s a little late doesn’t make it any less fantastic! The atmosphere and mix are very clean and with the constantly evolving bass line and seamless switch ups with the drums, it makes for a fun experience!
UndreamedPanic – Dark Crystals (Nevermourn Remix) | Drum & Bass
You’re in for some tasty DnB greatness with Nevermourn’s gorgeous spin of UndreamedPanic’s Sombra-themed track! A new take on the Rarity vocal chops and that lead are making for quite the fresh experience, as a delightful DnB remix of the original unfolds!
bank pain – Empire Past (Ponytronic Remix) | Neurofunk / Halftime Drum & Bass
[ASOS] Budzy – Influences | Drum & Bass
Budzy’s track from A State of Sugar Ice Cream is a tasty Drum & Bass beauty bringing much dreamy vibes, perfectly fitting for some alone time to reflect while gazing at the night sky. That featured line from Applejack sure makes it even more emotional, and it’s such a delight to have on the album!
