  G’day!

 Sidney SN 2026 is here with a brand-new drum & bass mix.

Sidney wasn’t exactly keen to mix something new after Discotheque, a mix he enjoyed. But then again, he could say the same about Orangery or plenty of his other mixes.

The Netherlands — especially its coastline — is something Sidney SN associates with Australian coastlines. 

Recently, the Netherlands a survey (Numbeo Quality of Life Index) ranked as number one in the world for quality of life. Another survey (Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection) named Australia the second safest country on the planet.

Both the Netherlands and Australia inspire me, and that happs runs right through Sidney SN’s music.

 Happs 

 is a new Sidney SN mix to kick off 2026. In a way, this year marks an anniversary — ten years ago, back when he was still just Sidney (without the SN), Sidney mixed his very first liquid drum & bass set.

The mix is almost entirely liquid drum and bass, but there are rare exceptions that might not sound like drum and bass, even though they were released by the best drum and bass labels. In the end of the mix is also mixed a hip hop track. I also like hip hop.

Sometimes people say that Amsterdam slightly distorts how the Netherlands is seen. But ordinary people aren’t like these Red Lights mixed with Dreamcatcher in the end of the Sidney SN mix. 

All words belong to those who have experienced it...

 I Want You X LENS UK (Sidney SN) 

 I’ve got something special for a smile.

I’ve been having some depressive episodes this week. I told myself that as a social services worker I should know that I need some kind of intervention. So I opened my laptop to try making some music. 

And hah, it went surprisingly fast...

I like the movie You Get Me (2017). The film was also crucial in the moment when I discovered New Retro Wave. In the famous and amazing pool scene, the music Dreams by Timecop1983 (feat. Dana Jean Phoenix) plays. There’s also a scene earlier in some club. 

And that’s where the track I Want You by Loosid appears. Marufo by the UK drum and bass producer LENS, together with Sidney SN’s edit, makes a great pair.

Yet, I Want You Sidney SN edit is not a drum and bass music. 

Enjoy! 

LENS - Give Me A Reason (Sidney SN Re:boot) As an Thanks to Ukraine

 It’s totally sad for me what has been happening since the beginning of 2023. There have been situations where I faced problems because of the “red idiots” who want to create a deficit to support a war against Western Europe. The Netherlands has already been affected by Putin’s actions in their sea territory. In 2023, there were also multiple threats from Putin regarding the occupation of the Berlin area, and more. 

Maybe the whole of Europe—or at least Western Europe—should be grateful to the Ukrainian warriors and soldiers, because they are the ones currently protecting and saving all of Western Europe. As a thank you to Ukraine for protecting our homes, Sidney SN is releasing a new track or rework. Give Me A Reason is not just a release because Ukraine is saving us—it’s also released in support of Ukraine. 

Thank you for supporting Sidney SN. Shut down all the red, stupid behavior—and enjoy everything beautiful the world still offers. The bootleg took around six hours to complete in FL Studio. Sometimes, change comes fast—especially when reality gives us no choice. 

Also, based on my experiences with many people—especially Czech people—some say that Putin’s war against Ukraine is just a “Ukrainian issue,” and that countries like Czechia shouldn’t support Ukraine as strongly as some Western countries do. But when someone speaks that way about war, it’s exactly the moment when I say no to the wannabe truth of such people. There was even an attack in Dutch waters that seemed more serious for the Netherlands than the COVID pandemic itself. I’ve said many times that when I visited the Netherlands in summer 2022—my first time there after the pandemic—people there weren’t nervous or in a bad state, unlike in Czechia. The general atmosphere in the Netherlands before and after the pandemic was very different from what I saw in Czechia. And in 2023, people in the Netherlands became visibly more nervous because of Putin’s actions in their waters—something that didn’t happen in 2022. 

That shows clearly: this war is not just against Ukraine. There have been multiple attempts by Putin to threaten Europe’s airspace and launch attacks against Berlin. Also, the pandemic laid the groundwork for certain psychological or behavioral predictions, which may have been part of planning future attacks—especially in places like Czechia. Putin even said he wants to “take back” what was supposedly “stolen” at the end of the 1980s—including the Berlin area. So, saying this war is only a Ukrainian issue is total nonsense. No—it’s another war against Western Europe, and a new war against the EU. The war started after the pandemic. Maybe their plans didn’t go as expected—and we are still here, alive. 

Give Me A Reason (Sidney SN Re:boot) by LENS UK sounds like it’s playing at “volume+”—even more intense than the original version by LENS. This louder, more impactful version makes sense on SoundCloud.

Fred V - Atmosphere (feat. Lottie Jones) Sidney SN Bootleg

  I’m a little excited about this remix or bootleg, because the original track Atmosphere by Fred V features such a beautiful vocal by Lottie Jones. I really like Fred V’s artistry, and I absolutely love Lottie Jones’ vocals in this bootleg. The track also carries vibes from Sonder by Rameses B—and, of course, many signature Sidney SN vibes. It’s a fully atmospheric liquid drum and bass track. Enjoy the track!
