As always, submit your own release or someone else's, it can be by #FediMusicians or not, hosted on #Bandcamp, #Faircamp, #JamCoop, #Mirlo or #SelfHosted, as long as it is by an #IndieArtist (but bonus points for supporting Bandcampers today, as it's the last one for a while).

Today, I'm making a track from scratch again. I'm building a small, dirty roller loop within an hour, all from the ground up without using any loops or final samples. As usual, you can find the project on my Patreon.
You ready to hear about some #OPM (other people's music)? I'm going to try something different this week and add all of the music I'm covering in one thread, with the blog containing slightly longer versions of all of these linked at the end. LMK what you think of this format.
A pleasant track that twists up the mellower side of drum and bass with an early ‘10s French reggae hit (Stand High Patrol’s “The Big Tree”). The breaks here are almost decorative rather than propulsive, so it feels aimed more at lounging back with a blunt than frantic dancefloor detonation, but that’s fine by me – I like my drum and bass on the chilled-out side these days.
Well, would you look at that? Another downtempo track, this one leaning into drum and bass! We got a theme going! This one turns the chill up to MAXIMUM and the production to minimum, with some minimal breaks hung with shards of synths doing most of the work. About halfway thru the breaks kick up a notch (tho stay chill) and some nice strings float in to pretty things up.
It's been a while since the last release, but now there's finally something new and deep at 172bpm. Berlin-style drum & bass. (bandcamp codes on patreon & youtube)
For #BandcampFriday today I finally released my dreamy dnb album Spaceship Submarine.
It's 5 euros and it would mean a lot to me if you bought it. I've been without my usual paying work for a couple of months and my progress in saving so I can move to my own place and move on with my life has backslid.
Wheelchair Rollers - I'm rolling into the darkness. I tried out a new mix where I slowly transition from bassline rollers to deeper tracks. 👉 https://youtu.be/tQEQb4SqPgA
