Radio & mixes 10 h ago0Add to bookmarks
Nemesisfive, robk, Audio Agent, Plasmator, Southpaw: five DNB Radio residents share their weekly sets. A short guide to help you choose where to start.
DNB Radio is a specialized web radio that operates on a simple model: residents, recurring shows, archived mixes. Nothing flashy, it's all about the length - it's by listening for several weeks that you get the measure of each selector. Five shows freshly uploaded this week are worth stopping for.
Nemesisfive - Live Broadcast. Live radio format. This type of show is a separate exercise: the selector must hold it live without a net, which penalizes technical demonstration less than proper selection and dancefloor reading. Worth listening for the raw presence.
robk - Tales From The Crates. The title announces the program: it's a digger show. We dive into the crates, we listen to tracks that we don't hear elsewhere, we follow a selection thread rather than a mix demonstration. This type of format is precious in a scene where the same tunes play too often.
Audio Agent - In Tha Cut 241. 241 episodes, that's not nothing. A show with this longevity holds because its resident has built a clear identity, episode after episode. To approach either by the latest (for the current mood) or by the old episodes (to understand the school).
Plasmator - Plasmator Presents Episode 98. "Presents" format, so rather curation than personal showcase. This type of show works when the resident knows how to alternate his favorites and guests. To judge on the spot.
Southpaw - Divine Sessions. The name of the show gives a color: rather deep, rather spiritual in intent. In drum & bass, "Divine Sessions" is a choice that commits - we expect liquid or atmospheric, we don't want abrasive jump-up. Worth listening for the texture.
If you only have one hour: start with robk - a digger show almost always rewards the listener. If you're looking for club energy: Nemesisfive or Audio Agent. If you want to relax: Southpaw. If you're curious about curation: Plasmator.
What makes a web radio like DNB Radio valuable is this plurality of entry points. No obligation to listen to all five - the important thing is that they exist in parallel and that they hold, week after week.
