This weeks guest mix come from Eora's broken beats maestro, SangLien.

Eora (Sydney AU) based SangLien's musical journey began with discovering the profound rhythms of Massive Attack, Portishead, and Flying Lotus, with trip hop's slow samples and deep bass laying his foundational beats. After honing his production skills in the realms of trip hop and hip hop, a transformative trip to Bristol in 2017 exposed him to Lenzman and the dons of deep, dark liquid drum and bass. Since then, he’s lived his life at 174 beats per minute.

A testament to his production skills on an international level, SangLien's bootleg UK Garage remix of Ariana Grande’s single "The Boy Is Mine" was featured in June 2024 at a major street rave in San Francisco. Played before an audience of up to 25,000 people, the remix was part of the opening set for Skrillex and Fred Again.

Driven by a passion that extends beyond creating and mixing his own drum and bass tracks, SangLien launched the Rinse Out event series in Eora. This venture marked the inception of an aural empire that has provided a platform for local legends and hosted international icons like Mrs Magoo and DRS.

Armed with his own vocal and soulful tracks, including a tune released with Extra Spicy, a SangLien set is always stacked with liquid vibes, occasionally spiced with cheeky rollers. Fans can anticipate an atmosphere reminiscent of Technimatic, Break, Roni Size, or Random Movement, yet distinctively unique to SangLien. Those who have experienced a SangLien set can attest – it’s a sound truly his own.
