Haha, I thought that the first Sidney mixes (without SN) no longer existed, but I found the Sidney mixes in an archive.
Sidney SN was without “SN” during the time when the first Sidney thoughts about liquid drum and bass mixing emerged, up to the moment when Sidney said to himself that Sidney was not enough, and Sidney SN changed the way of his mixing itself to something more profound.
Maybe there was also inspiration for the change to “SN” from an L.A. person who changed their own name during the same period when Sidney changed his name to Sidney SN. But the basis for the change was the thoughts about the Sidney SN way of mixing. There was probably inspiration for the name, but not for the mixing, which is fundamental to Sidney SN.
At the beginning, Sidney mixed liquid drum and bass tracks that he loved in a way inspired by the Chilloutbear YouTube platform.
I don’t think that the “mixes” on Chilloutbear were really mixes. Because of that, Sidney said to himself that it doesn’t matter if a mix is not a mix; what matters are the liquid drum and bass tracks that Sidney loves and wants in a set.
Many times I have said that at the beginning I mixed liquid drum and bass for myself, and because of that I wanted a set with my favorite liquid drum and bass tracks in a wannabe mix.
I found Sidney - Memories of the Future and Sidney - Summer Dreaming and Small Liquid (Sidney Mix). I think that Small Liquid was on an old Sidney SN SoundCloud. And maybe someone knows about it.
When I mixed Future Memories at the end of 2022, I thought about the thoughts that were present in the first Sidney mix, Memories of the Future, and in a way the mix was mixed with the sense of Sidney’s mixing.
And in a way, Memories of the Future worked so that I had no idea that the memories of the future would work like that there.
