Dishing up some of the finest in soulful and melodic drum & bass for the past eight years, Brookes Brothers have strung together the latest Heartbeat podcast here at LessThan3. As you’ll learn in the first few minutes of the mix, Dan and Phil Brookes grew up influenced by soul, R&B, and jazz music which is immediately apparent in their productions. You may recognize the name from their latest EP, titled Carry Me On featuring Chrom3 on Viper Recordings, which sports a colorful video as well. In addition, the boys from London have recently collaborated with Danny Byrd to deliver Get On It as a part of Danny Byrd’s latest album Golden Ticket.
With a mix comprising no less than 35 tracks, the duo highlights several of their own productions as well as the works of others they find especially rocking in today’s scene. Beginning with the aforementioned original Carry Me On, the pair works right into another of their own, titled Loveline. Moving further, the mix jumps between several notable artists such as Tantrum Desire, Fred V & Grafix, Netsky, Metrik, Sub Focus, and plenty more. The set is a fantastic display of the diversity of drum & bass and the products that different influences can help shape. This Heartbeat is not one to miss!
