The Rhythm Society: Dance Camp '26

Deep liquid and soulful drum & bass campout mix

It's hard to believe it was 32 years ago when I discovered Jungle, Drum & Bass, Liquid, Techstep, and all the other branching sub-genres of what started as a mashup of dub, dancehall and rave culture. At the time I was briefly living in Los Angeles and discovered Aron’s Records on Highland Ave - one of the stores stocking all the Drum & Bass coming out of England. It's here I met Tomas Palermo, DJ and music writer with deep wisdom on all that touched Jamaican culture. He was working at Aron's and pointed me to countless gems.

Fast forward to 1999 and I was invited to play the chill room for our summer all-night Rhythm Society event called "Playtime." I played a "chill" set of atmospheric Drum & Bass — many in the set sourced from Aron's. It became one of my favorite of my mixes because it perfectly encapsulated what I love most about the genre: the dual nature of slow and calming melodies with energetic double-time rhythms. When the two are on equal footing, my brain does a happy dance.
