FORCE099 - SenseNe - Past Gift / Purple / Past Gift Airstrike Remix

In the words of legendary label owner and producer, Andy Odysee of Odysee Recordings (Source Direct, Odysee, Circuit-Breaker), Past Gift, is a “beautifully crafted bit of hefty deep amen business”. No other sentiment could better describe the title track from this debut release by SenseNet.

Although she’s a new producer in the Drum ‘n Bass scene, her musical roots go back decades as a classically trained pianist who has dabbled in a variety of musical instruments and genres. With ‘Past Gift’ and ‘Purple’, SenseNet wanted to pay homage to the rich history of Jungle and DnB. (more info on release page)
