Archangel delivers Laurie one of her favourite guest mixes of this 2025. Incoming 45 minutes of deep and dark yet beautifully soulful liquid drum & bass. Archangel is the alias of an anonymous producer whose work bridges worlds—melding classical training, Latin guitar influences, and the raw energy of drum and bass into a singular, genre-defying sound. Born from a deep passion for both music and philosophy, the project began as an exploration of the emotional resonance found in religious architecture, with Archangel’s own photography of Portuguese and Spanish chapels sparking a wider creative vision. At its core, Archangel’s music is a fusion of opposites: fiery Latin guitar lines woven into break-heavy drum and bass, underscored by rolling low-end pressure and tinged with the improvisational spirit of jazz. Every track is a kind of diary entry—an emotional reflection shaped by both discipline and spontaneity. For Archangel, creating music is not only a practice but a ritual, a way to channel personal growth, explore emotions, and offer listeners a space to connect with deeper meaning. Debuting in 2022 with the Salamanca EP and Nightline EP on Fokuz Recordings, Archangel quickly gained recognition for his distinctive Latin-infused style. 2023 and 2024 saw a prolific run of EPs on Fokuz, refining his fusion of warmth, atmosphere, and technical precision. In 2025, the project truly took flight, with the Hesitate single on Gemini Gemini, the Roses EP on Fokuz, the Reconnect single on the Seventeen Compilation, and breakthrough releases on Integral Records (Dark Romance EP) and Galacy / Liquicity (Playing With Fire EP).
