Perfect Female Type breaks into the 90s with their furious new club anthem Thicker Love, a massive peak-hour festival banger thick with big beats, juicy analog pads, chipmunk vocals, and planet-sized bass stabs. This one’s for the 3AM set! Includes an extended mix b-side.
The Seven Whores of the Apocalypse team up with the ice cold vocal queen Scarlett to deliver a hot dose of forbidden passion in our throbbing industrial techno single Bite Down, now available everywhere!
Sharp bass stabs pound against a wall of distorted guitars as Scarlett invites you into the “chapel” for a lesson in tough love. We’re all sinners… is that what you came for?
Here are all of my mixtapes, all in one post. Enjoy!

The Birth of Liquid (Faze Two)
In 1998 I recorded a song called Jeweler’s Dive. It was one of only a few jazz-inspired drum and bass tracks I made during my loungy, loungy period of the late ’90s.

My first exposure to Lone was the refreshing and delightful (if slightly half-baked) Emerald Fantasy Tracks from 2010. Like so many of my electronic albums, I have absolutely no idea how I stumbled upon it. I’m so glad I did. Galaxy Garden, his follow up collaboration with Machinedrum, made it into my top 20 favorite albums of all time. I’ve been a devoted fan ever since.
Welcome to part two of Hardcore Math User’s liquid funk history lesson!
Picking up where Faze One left off, Faze Two ups the tempo and brings a stronger funk aesthetic to the table while maintaining that shimmering watery vibe perfected by late ’90s melodic drum & bass.

It’s early summer, the perfect time of year for melodic drum & bass!
