Commix crafts a version of drum and bass that feels less like a dancefloor assault and more like a high-definition architectural tour of a futuristic city. Their sound is defined by a 'liquid' quality that isn't just about smooth melodies, but about the way sounds flow into one another with surgical precision. It is music that occupies the space between the physical energy of jungle and the intellectual distance of IDM.
What truly sets them apart is their ability to infuse cold, digital soundscapes with a profound sense of soul. They utilize techno-influenced chord stabs and ghostly, processed vocal fragments to create an atmosphere that is simultaneously eerie and comforting. The rhythms are complex and driving, yet they never feel cluttered, maintaining a minimalist clarity that allows the deep, rolling sub-bass to breathe.
For those new to the project, the album 'Call to Mind' is the essential entry point. It serves as a manifesto for their 'progressive electronic' approach, moving beyond the tropes of 170 BPM music to explore textures that feel timeless. It is the ideal soundtrack for moments of intense concentration or solitary travel through urban environments.
Commix is an English drum and bass project from Cambridge, now solely composed of George Levings.
