TECHNIMATIC d'n'b DJ set in The Lab LDN
Sometimes you need a break from the four-on-the-floor march, and Technimatic in The Lab LDN provides the perfect sanctuary: a liquid drum & bass set so smooth it feels like being submerged in warm, melodic syrup. The vibe here is one of focused appreciation, a room of people who understand that DnB can be about introspection as much as it is about acceleration. They hold a steady 172.9 BPM, using the complementary 12A and 4B keys to weave a tapestry of soulful pads, intricate breaks, and warm, humming basslines.
The energy is perfectly balanced between driving rhythm and atmospheric depth, with the mid-range melodies carrying the emotional weight. As a duo who are also prolific producers, their own tracks form the backbone: ‘Perseverance’ is a poignant opener, and ‘Music Is Music’ is a nine-minute journey in itself. But the digs are exquisite: Seba’s ‘Never Let You Go’ (Blu Mar Ten Remix) is a liquid classic, DRS & LSB’s ‘The View’ is soulful storytelling, and LTJ Bukem’s ‘Horizons’ is a foundational gem.
Dropping the Ivy Lab remix of Anushka’s ‘Never Can Decide’ adds a touch of future-swing flair. They start with their own ‘Perseverance’, build to a peak with the lush complexity of Konsciencebeatz’s ‘Beyond’, and close the circle with the sturdy, rolling grooves of ‘Tectonic’.
