If you want to hear some of the sounds pushing drum ’n’ bass forward in 2023, look no further than this mix—the second in Pendulum’s Global Residency series. “We’ve pulled together a selection that weaves together the true diversity and innovation happening right now within the drum ’n’ bass world,” Pendulum co-founder and DJ Paul Harding tells Apple Music. As for some of their top picks from this hour-long set? “Technimatic’s ‘Sunburst’ is going to be a big one for us all summer long,” says Harding. “It has that pure euphoric sunshine vibe that works so well at festivals, as does the deeper ambient sounds of Seba and Marina Samba’s ‘Whatever You Feel’.” You can also expect “big vocals” here (Pola & Bryson’s “Phoneline” with Emily Makis) and a couple of moments when “things get tough” courtesy of Noisia and Metrik. “We are getting ready for some big summer live shows across Europe in 2023,” says Harding. “Until then, enjoy this mix.”
