44BEATZCAST 20:01
From serene Buddhist chants and Tibetan soundscapes to kinetic trip-hop, breakbeat and the big-beat innovations of The Chemical Brothers, 44BEATZCAST 20:01 traverses a vast musical terrain. Deep-house and tech-house flavours arrive courtesy of Hot Since 82 and Laurent Garnier’s deft remixes, while Boys Noize injects electro-house vigour. Funky disco grooves from Les Cappuccino and jazz-infused twists by Red Snapper segue into synthwave echoes by Jensen Interceptor, before classic acid beats, minimal techno and drum’n’bass meet cinematic strands from Jeff Wayne, and U2’s ageless rock resonance brings it home.
As ‘Tisarana Vandana’ unfolds, Burmese monks’ chants open a meditative portal, bridged by Tibet Project’s Himalayan drones. Red Snapper steeps us in trip-hop with ‘The Tunnel’, before The Chemical Brothers’ ‘Taste of Honey’ and Les Cappuccino’s disco-house ‘Get On Board’ galvanise the groove. DVA’s ‘Worst’ (Sinjin Hawke remix) and Jensen Interceptor’s ‘Automate’ inject futuristic energy, while AQXDM with Aquarian & Deapmash deliver sleek minimal techno on ‘Leisure Techno’. Melodic pulse arrives via Will Lister’s ‘Patience’ and Hot Since 82’s Raxon remix of ‘Tilted’, then DJ T’s ‘Marching Theme’ and 69’s ‘Funk You’ revive breakbeat and electro-funk.
Renato Cohen’s ‘Magica’ casts late-night spells, Boys Noize’s ‘The Bomb’ erupts with electro-house force, and Laurent Garnier’s ‘Basic’ remix refines minimal techno. Acid undercurrents surface in Spektre & Matt Cooper’s ‘The Chemist’ and Johnny D’s ‘Underwater’ remix. Alfonsvs’ ambient ‘44th Romance’ and Dibu-Z’s ‘Isolated Particles’ grant reflective pause, before James AV’s ‘Security’ revs with raw techno.
Jeff Wayne’s ‘Epilogue, Pt 2’ nods to cinematic grandeur, and Deemphasis’ ‘End of Cycle’ closes a drum’n’bass chapter. The Quantum Mechanics’ ‘Atomic’ reboot reignites electro, Colin Dale’s ‘By Any Means Necessary’ honours classic house, and Pinch’s ‘Walking With Shadows’ delves into dubstep. 454443’s ‘Nilachale’ drifts in ambient haze before Kyoto Jazz Sextet’s Ron Trent remix of ‘Rising’. Jullian Gomes’ ‘Temple of Snakes’ and Clark’s ‘Upward Evaporation’ blend progressive house with IDM nuance. Finally, U2’s ‘The Troubles’ delivers a poignant rock climax, leaving you suspended between eras and emotions.
