One part of legendary bass trio Noisia, Dutch composer and producer Thijs de Vlieger (AKA Thys) released his Unmoved Mover / Unwound EP at the end of last month. The pioneering bass trio decided to have 2020 be their swan song after two decades, though the year has thrown a wrench in their plans (as it did for all of us), but this has allowed individual members to focus more on their own individual projects. Thys released a dance soundtrack last year and has continued with more remixes and collaborations.
Now he steps up for a Magnetic Mix in connection with the EP. It reflects the type of music he is making and inspired by at the moment. He keeps things moving in the drum and bass ethos with 32 tracks in 60 minutes, jumping between genres and throws in some unreleased IDs as well.
“This mix is more of less a map that pencils out the edges of my world right now. It has some of my favorite club music tunes of the last few years as well as some unfinished and forthcoming music by myself and my friends,” explains Thys.
“Slowly moving from 124 to 160 in the space of an hour, it shows clear signs of my roots in DnB and bass music, as well as indicating both the more subtle and more experimental directions I'm headed for in the future. Also, in the typical DnB mixing style, it manages to smoothly fit 32 tracks in just an hour!"
Listen to the mix now below.
