abstract science podcast as1095 | drop bass network

DROP BASS NETWORK retrospective mix + new music from SCORN, JK FLESH + AIR MAX ’97 on this ABSTRACT SCIENCE podcast, with CHRIS WIDMAN + HENRY SELF. WIDMAN begins with downtempo beats, drawing on shoegaze, distorted drone + IDM, followed by left-field drum ‘n bass in a similar vein. For the second hour, HENRY compiled + WIDMAN mixed a DROP BASS NETWORK retrospective set ahead of their resurrected EVEN FURTHER rave (8/8-8/12) + first-time digital release of the label’s archives on BANDCAMP. The Milwaukee, Wisconsin founded label + rave promoters are midwest legends + had a big influence on the young ABSTRACT SCIENCE crew. [aired 01 august 2019 on WLUW 88.7fm Chicago]
