THEN PLEASE
THIS IS NOT A MONEY MAKING EXERCISE
IT HAS BEEN DONE PURELY FOR
THE LOVE OF MUSIC
AND WE ARE HAVING AN ABSOLUTE BLAST
BELOW YOU WILL FIND LINKS TO THE FEATURED ARTISTS ALONG WITH BASIC NOTES EXPLAINING MUSICAL CHOICES AND INSPIRATIONS
LOVE (THE 7TH PLAIN COLLAGE MIX) - LUKE SLATER
I'm probably pushing my luck by including this, not directly fitting with the Dub Techno genre, or immediately recognisable as Luke Slater. I didn't want to start with anything too deep, so opted for what I thought would be the most accessible of all these selections. Luke Slater's output as 7th Plain has always been my preferred work of his, ever since listening to The John Peel Show in the 90's.
CUENTA CUENTOS - PABLO BOLIVAR
Now we can move into full on Dub Techno territory, this track has all the hallmarks that you associate with this particular brand of music - thanks, Mr Bolivar.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND (QUANTEC MIX) - SCHWANBECK
Continuing in pretty much the same vein as above.
This is where we really kick into gear!
Over twenty years old, and sounding as fresh as ever - timeless!
WITHOUT YOU - MARKO FüRSTENBURG
I'm really puzzled about the relevance of the label on the record
(Rotary Cocktail), which features a promotional shot from On Her Majesty's Secret Service?? It certainly sparked my initial interest, and I'm very pleased that it did, as the tune is indispensable in this mix now.
I hope you appreciate the way the music keeps fading away, then coming back.
Nothing to do with me, I suppose it fits with the track title?
ELEVATOR DREAM - STEWART WALKER
If you get to hear music like this in elevators of the future, then quess where I'm spending most of my time?
IT'S GETTING LATE - CLARO INTELECTO
Edging ever so slightly towards the Techno side of the genre, but still providing those deep dub tones.
This delivers those crisp synthesiser chords you'd expect to hear whilst floating through space.
We're getting quite groovy now, I think this would have fitted in with quite a large number of other shows.
BIRDS OVER HONG KONG (MARKO FüRSTENBURG MIX) - INSECT 0.
Tremendous!
About right, fitting in rather well at this point.
The ever dependable Marko Fürstenburg providing the mix. Seriously, I have no idea whether he's dependable or not, but I think I'll doing some further research for the future............Or beyond!
All credit for introducing me to this very specific sub genre of Electronic music must go to the immersive work of Rod Modell/Deepchord. Releasing music on the Soma Records label, who have taken a fair bit of my pocket money over the years. This would mean that I was always going to include at least one Deepchord track. It was tricky though deciding which one to go with. I didn't want to pick anything too long or immersive, so opted for this shorter, (slightly) less immersive offering.
