While I'll admit it's certainly not my favorite Ivy release, I do hopelessly have the 3rd track Left With You stuck in my head for like 5 days in a row. Olo and Blockhead aren't doing it for me as much, but I have no doubt Ivy would find an icy way to incorporate them into a mix.

Oh yeah, they're sorta just doing their own thing. Seems ahead of the time in an era where there's no shortage of generic samey bass. Check out the Ivy Lab set on DEF's youtube channel. I've hit this mix like 5 times, incredible set. (I fucking love that whole channel so much. Not always to my taste, but tons of legendary sets with killer production value).

I always am a big fan of juxtaposition. Too much of the same stuff, same energy level, whatever, gets overly repetitive and loses its power. I'd much rather tell a story through the mix, with wider ups and downs, unexpected twists. When the crowd breathing heavy as hell it's nice to let em catch their breath before you melt their minds again. Like pickled ginger to reset the palette between sushi rolls.

Only other community I've seen on Lemmy is the Drum & Bass one. Much like this dub joint, still a humble lil crew. Be the change you want to see and all that tho! A lil recruitment couldn't hurt either, Lemmy still very off the radar.
