Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This Sunday we close out our 6th year of Sunday Mixtapes and invite back Original Gidman.

"It's rare these days that I compile a volume for Dusk Dubs, simply due to the amount of amazing selectors that pass through the doors of Dusk Dubs towers providing their amazing volumes. and it has been no different this year. So, it is a great honor for me to close out our 6th year of Sunday Mixtapes.

As always, I have created something very personal, a musical love letter to the nations capital.....LONDON

I was born in London, Paddington W2 and although my family moved out of London when i was young, I was always drawn back to this wonderful city. My Late mum would flood our family home with music, whether it was made by Londoners, or celebrated London. As a kid we would travel back to London during most school holidays, exploring with my Mum, who would be soley repsonsible for embedding a love and a thirst for knowledge of this city deep inside of me. During the late 80's and early 90's I would once again be travelling back to London, this time enjoying some of the best dance clubs in England. Later in life, I would return to live in London, whether it was in the West, the East and evenutally ending up in South London.... Brixton. In the Eary 2000s my now wife, joined me in Brixton and we spent many wonderful years, enjoying the vibrant musical scene Brixton and South London had to offer.

As a father now, I find myself repeating the same journeys with my 3 young children, exploring London and educating them on this amazing city and long may it continue..... As Dr Samuel Johnson once said......'"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life". [[ Original Gidman ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Peddlers - ‘Whole Lot Of Sunlight’, from the 1970 Philips LP ‘Three For All’.

I picked this up in Avid Records in Oxford in the late nineties, I got a lot of good stuff from them around that time, picking up cheap classic soul, blues and jazz LPs, bargain priced late ‘80s / early ‘90s 12” singles that I’d missed the first time round and just taking a punt on interesting looking sleeves, or bands I’d heard about in sampling cirlces. ‘Suite London’ was the hot crate digger’s favourite from The Peddlers, but the production on ‘Three For All’ is right up my street, with wonderful hammond playing and a killer drum sound. It’s a great album from start to finish. I’ve used tracks on a few mixtapes in the past 20 years, but not this particular one, and with an apt title, it seemed like ‘Whole Lot Of Sunlight' was a nice way to kick off my late summer Dusk Dubs selection!

2) Joe McDuphrey Experience - ‘Solar Waves’, from the 2002 Stones Throw 12” ‘Experience EP’.

Madlib made a big impression on me when I first started producing with a sampler and a second hand Hohner Pianet. I really enjoyed this era when he was mixing live instrumentation with the straight up MPC sample business. ‘Solar Waves’ has it all - lolloping drums, wonky synths and tasty electric piano - a super laid-back groove, and is one I rediscovered in my collection recently. Plus, I’m a sucker for coming up with a bunch of aliases to cover all the roles you might play on a record - Madlib is the undisputed champ at that.

3) Paul Weller - ‘That Spiritual Feeling’ (New Mix) from the 1993 Go! Discs promo 12” GOXDJ 102.

My first proper music industry job in the mid nineties was as a radio plugger, and we shared an office building with Go!Discs - home at the time to Portishead, David Holmes, The Beautiful South and Paul Weller, amongst others. There was a little shared kitchen area with a photocopier, and I was busily copying press releases one afternoon on about my 3rd day in the job, when I heard someone making a drink behind me. Turning round I was confronted by Mr Paul Weller himself, impeccably dressed (with an AMAZING tan) stirring his cup of tea. ‘Hello’ he said, ‘I’m Paul - nice to meet you’.

I managed not to swoon or drop my photocopying and introduced myself as the new boy. I worked on radio promo with him across various album projects for the next 4 years, culminating with a week on a tour bus with Paul and his crew doing sessions at radio stations across the country. Story for another time maybe … Anyway - also in that little kitchen area at Go! Discs was their stock cupboard, which I rinsed for releases I’d missed in the years prior to my starting work there. ‘That Spiritual Feeling’ was originally on his first solo release ‘Into Tomorrow’ in 1991, but got remixed and added to this promo, as well as appearing on the ‘Sunflower’ 12” (taken from ‘Wildwood’) It’s got the instantly recognisable JBs on it, with a classic horn arrangement backing up a kinda hypnotic 2 chord groove that just rolls and rolls. I can listen to it for hours.

4). Rhianna - ‘Word Love’ (4 Hero Soul Mix) from the 2002 Sony Soho Square promo 7” XPR 3600.

4 Hero were killing it in the early ‘00s as their productions evolved from the breakbeat mastery of the ‘90s into the wonderfully orchestrated arrangements that saw them covering ‘Les Fleur’, and bringing their deft touch to an increasing number of quality remixes. I don’t think this version of British soul star Rhianna’s ‘Word Love’ - which I loved in it’s original form - ever made it to a commercial release, but it’s something I’ve played out a lot over the years, and it always gets great comments and a bunch of info requests from the crowd.

5) GangStarr - ‘Jazz Thing’ (Instrumental Mix) from the 1990 CBS promo 12” XPR 1571.

I saw Mo Better Blues at the cinema in Australia in November 1990 and bought the soundtrack on cassette the next day. Brandford Marsalis and Terence Blanchard have a superb dialogue across all the tracks, especially on the Canonball Adderley-esque title track. However, Gang Starr’s ‘Jazz Thing’ blew my tiny teenage mind, and I became a bit obsessed with it over the next few years, the samples, the cuts, the live loops - especially after my new college mate Pete made me a tape a year or so later with two extra versions from the 12”, including this, the Instrumental Mix. I finally tracked down my own copy of this import promo in the Soul & Dance Exchange in Notting Hill in the late nineties, and it’s lived in my record bag pretty much ever since.

6) John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers with Peter Green - ‘Greeny’, from the 1969 Decca LP ‘The World Of Blues Power’.

Everyone my sort of age with some records is bound to have one or two liberated from their parent’s collection, and this was an album I discovered in my folks collection in about 1987, not long after buying a drum kit. I’d been rinsing their Beatles albums since I was a kid - singing along to ‘Drive My Car’ and ‘Octopus’s Garden’, but the World Of Blues Power seem a bit of alien concept until I gave it a good listen as a teen. There’s some classic pyrotechnic stuff from rising Brit Blues stars like Eric Clapton and Paul Butterfield, alongside US veterans like Champion Jack Dupree and Eddie Boyd, who’d moved to Europe in the ‘60s.

Always understated, Peter Green’s playing on ‘Greeny’ is perfect; simple and catchy as hell, but with complete mastery of his instrument.

7) Stanley Clarke - ‘Blues For Mingus’, from the 1979 Nemperor LP ‘I Wanna Play For You’.

This was another ’90s bargain from Avid Records in Oxford, but I first heard it when babysitting in the late ‘80s. The couple who’s kids I was deemed suitably responsible enough to be left in charge of were very happy for me to listen to their small but perfectly formed record collection, and many happy evenings were spent with a pile of C90s taping all sorts of classic jazz and blues. Took me the best part of the next 20 years to find my own vinyl copies of them all mind you. The uptempo jazz rock that Stanley Clarke was known for in the ‘70s is featured throughout the part-live ‘I Wanna Play For You’ album, but this downtempo small group number perfectly encapsulated my idea of what a jazz club gig should sound like; dark, smoky and soulful.

8) Al Green - ‘Lay It Down’, from the 2008 Blue Note LP ‘Lay It Down’.

Is it controversial to call this my favourite Al Green album? I mean, you can’t deny the classic ‘60s and ‘70s hits, but for me, this Questlove produced LP is right up there in terms of songwriting and production. I could have happily featured any of the album tracks here, but went with the title track for the silky strings and restrained playing from Questlove. Something as a drumming producer myself I’m less good at ;)

9) Matt Deighton - ‘Hey, My Mind’, from the 1995 Focus LP ‘Villager’.

This whole album is stuffed full of timeless sounding songs, it's one I’ve listened to alot over the years and comes complete with alot of happy memories.

Just before I got the plugging job, I’d been working in promotions for (the original) Virgin Radio in London, driving a branded vehicle around town all day. Seems mad and pointless in 2020, but it was fun in 1995, I was young, it seemed to be sunny all the time, I had a free 4WD and it paid quite well. I used the station’s copy of ‘The White Book’ - an entertainment industry directory that cost a small fortune back then - to look up the addresses of my favourite record labels, and spent most days knocking on their doors in an attempt to blag some free records. One of these labels was Acid Jazz, and, having announced which station I worked for, I was rushed in to meet their head of marketing and plied with records and CDs, before someone eventually asked ‘so, what is it you actually do at Virgin again?’. I bluffed my way through the next 10 minutes and agreed to have a chat to the producer of the evening show about getting a session for Matt Deighton. Matt was the singer and guitarist with Mother Earth, of whom I was a big fan, and was currently promoting a new solo album ‘Villager’ - Mother Earth had been a guest on the Virgin show before, and so the producer said yes to a session. I’m sure she would have booked him anyway, but she graciously let me set it up with Acid Jazz, gaining me some vital industry kudos and connections in the process.

10) Money Mark - ‘All The People’, from the 1998 Mo Wax / A&M LP ‘Push The Button’.

Mo Wax were one of my favourite ‘90s labels, having been introduced to them by a college friend sometime in ’93, and I think I tried unsuccessfully blagging my way onto their mailing list in my Virgin days, but later on, after the A&M deal, I had better luck getting occasional freebies. ‘Mark’s Keyboard Repair’ was the record that the genre lo-fi was invented for, with the mix of bit-crushed samples and live vintage keys, but ‘Push The Button’ is a brilliantly rounded record, with some great pop songs. Session legend Jim Keltner is playing drums on this track, which I’d forgotten about until I was reading the sleevenotes while recording this mix - his playing with the likes of Delaney & Bonnie, BB King, Leon Russell, Bill Withers, Eric Clapton and all of the Beatles on their various solo projects has been a big influence on my drumming style over the years. Records I’ve never heard of but have bought just because Jim Keltner is on drums is an extensive section of my collection.

11) Bedouine - ‘Summer Cold’, from the 2017 Spacebomb Records LP ‘Bedouine’.

Spacebomb are one of my favourite contemporary labels, with a studio sound and ethos that I aspire to greatly as I enter my third decade as a producer, and I’ve been picking up their releases since hearing label owner, and talented artist, Matthew E. White interviewed on 6 Music back in 2015. LA Based Syrian born Bedouine put out one of my most listened to albums of 2017 (and since!), and I would have featured any of the tracks in this mix, but something about the found sounds at the end of ‘Summer Cold’ seemed to work very nicely with the start of the following song from Emily King. Bedouine’s vocal and guitar sound is wonderfully distintive, and beautifully enhanced by the sympathetic Spacebomb Horn and String arrangements - get yourself the LP!

12) Emily King - ‘Distance’, from the 2015 Making Music Records LP ‘The Switch’.

I didn’t listen to many new records while I was producing Izo FitzRoy’s debut (track coming next!) - I think I thought I’d find it distracting, I suspect that wouldn’t have been the case, but once Izo’s record was in the can, I gorged on releases I’d missed and found things that have become all time favourites. Most of them seem to be by women with a very different sound to Izo, but equally captivating writing and energy. Emily King is one of those artists, along with Bedouine, Jane Weaver and Aldous Harding amongst others. ‘Distance’ is such a great song, and I love Emily’s voice and guitar playing, plus the production and feel too - ticks all the boxes for me.

13) Izo FitzRoy - ‘Heads Held High’, from the 2017 Jalepeno Records LP ‘Skyline’.

This was one of my favourites from Izo’s debut that I produced and played on a few years ago. A great lyric and performance from Izo over a groove that we worked hard to sound like a mix of samples and live instruments, but was in fact all recorded and produced in my studio at home. Initially Izo and I were writing on some tracks that I’d already recorded with a view to them going on a Dr Rubberfunk album, but it was pretty clear after we’d written a few things together that she had so many great songs that the project needed to be an album for her. Even at a few years distance, I’m still really pleased with how the record turned out, with a ’studio sound’ I can call my own, and one that I’ve been able to carry over to my recent ‘My Life At 45’ LP - on which Izo turns in another couple of killer performances!

14) Urban Species - ‘Blanket’ featuring Imogen Heap, from the 1998 Talkin’ Loud LP ‘Blanket’.

Along with Acid Jazz and Mo Wax, Talkin’ Loud were another label I was madly collecting everything they released throughout the ‘90s and beyond. Having DJ’d in support of Urban Species at my college in 1994, I was already a fan, and their second album ‘Blanket’ is one of my all-time favourites by any artist. It features two great collaborations with Terry Callier, and two with Imogen Heap, including the title track featured here. Great writing and production, I was very influenced by this record as I started working with vocalists. Always love the guitar solo over the fade out too - if it exists, I’d love to get my hands on the full version without the fade!

15) Routes In Jazz - ‘Out In The Jungle’, from the 1992 Concious Records 12” CON 999.

Another sure shot from my days as a nascent DJ at Froebel College in West London in the early ‘90s. I was fortunate to have the support and encouragement of a couple of older students as I joined the Student Union and started organising events, and one of them - Lee - actually let me borrow his records to play out with a few times. Cheers Lee! This was one he used to play in warm up and bar sets, and I loved the double bass loop and ear worm horn sample (I never have worked out what it’s from), so had to get a copy. In some ways it’s a very 1992 record, but has stood the test of time in terms of production as far as I’m concerned.

16) DJ Krush - ‘Yeah’, from the 1994 Mo Wax LP ‘Strictly Turntablized’.

Early Mo Wax classic, from before all this sort of thing was considered ‘trip hop’, it was just killer instrumental hip hop as far as I was concerned, and DJ Krush, along with DJ Shadow, was right up there, leading the way. Another big influence on me when I eventually got a sampler - tough drums: check, swinging bass sample: check, jazzy horn and vocal samples: check. Love it.

17) Freak Power - ‘My Heart Sings’, from the 1994 ‘In Dub - The Fried Funk Food EP’, bonus album with some vinyl editions of the ‘Drive Thru Booty’ LP

They say never meet your heroes, but having meet and worked with both Norman Cook and Ashley Slater, the creators of the Freak Power project, I’d have to disagree. Naturally, if you’ve read through the tracklisting this far, you’ll have worked out there’s another showbiz story to go with this selection, and there is, but I’m saving it for another time, ‘cos it’s LONNNGGGG. Suffice it to say, ‘Turn On Tune In, Cop Out’ was a massive tune in ’93, and when the album dropped the following year I was straight down the record shop on release day. I wasn’t expecting a bonus ‘Dub EP’, much less one with almost unrecognisable remixes of the album tracks, but I was very happy to have it included. Some of the best downtempo beats Norman has made I think, and the drum programming on the second half of this track had me scratching my head in my pre-sampler owning days and wondering how the heck it was done. Fabulous sample choices, and nice and long too - handy for those DJ set comfort breaks.

18) John Martyn - ‘Sunshine’s Better’ (Talvin Singh Mix), from the 1996 Go! Discs promo 12” SSB1.

Talking of long tracks, here’s 10 minutes plus of John Martyn and the balearic classic ‘Sunshine’s Better’ reworked beautifully by Talvin Singh. John was another of the artists on Go! Discs when I was plugging for them, and I think it’s widely accepted he was a challenging character at that stage of his career. Still an amazing songwriter and performer though, and sounding as good as ever on the album ‘And’ from which ‘Sunshine’s Better’ is taken. Phil Collins on drums too.

19) Incognito - ‘Out Of The Storm’ (C’s Planet E Mix), from the 1996 Talkin’ Loud promo 12” TLDJ54.
If you were putting together a downtempo set in ’96, and you had ‘Sunshine’s Better’, you needed this Carl Craig mix of ‘Out Of The Storm’ for sure. Hip hop drum loops, swirling synth pads, a wobbly flute sample and some perfectly placed little bass guitar fills and turnarounds made this perfect in so many ways. I was VERY excited to get a promo copy, and definitely felt I had ‘arrived’ as a DJ when this came through the letterbox one morning.
*old DJ voice* “Those were the days.” LOL.

20) Freddie King - ‘Gambling Woman Blues’, from the 1977 RSO LP ‘Freddie King (1934-1976)’.

In case you were worried I’d skipped over my love of the blues with just one track, here’s a less well known number from Freddie King, recorded during sessions with Eric Clapton and his band in the early ’70s, just a few years before King’s untimely death in 1976. I’ve got plenty of albums by the ‘Three Kings’ (Albert, B.B and Freddie) and they all had some very funky moments in the late sixties and early seventies. This posthumous compilation album was also in the collection of the family I used to babysit for, another tape that had pretty much worn out before I could track down my own vinyl copy, which, as you can hear, has been well played too. Again, a track that seems to fade just as it’s getting going, but fear not - there’s a 20+ minute version on some of the popular streaming services.

21) Donny Hathaway - ‘What’s Going On?’ from the 2014 ATCO Records LP ‘Live At The Bitter End 1971’.

I heard Gilles Peterson play tracks from this album on his 6 Music Show on Record Store Day in 2014. RSD often falls on my birthday weekend, so I thought I’d treat myself to this re-issue (with previously unissued tracks) of Donny Hathaway’s 1971 shows at the Bitter End on Bleecker Street in New York City. Although there aren’t many artists that can make a convincing go of covering Marvin Gaye, Donny is definitely one of them, and ‘What’s Going On?’ sounds just as relevant today as it ever did. I felt it was an appropriate choice, given the state of the world today, my love of black music and the fact that my whole music career is based on it. Once more, for the people at the back, BLACK LIVES MATTER.

22) Wes Montgomery - ‘Sun Down’, from the 1966 Verve Records LP ‘California Dreaming’.

3 quid from, you’ve guessed it, Avid Records. Bargain. I listened to an absolute ton of blues guitarists in my late teens, but it was a few years later that I started going sideways into jazz guitar, falling in love with the soul jazz / acid jazz sound of Grant Green and Ivan ‘Boogaloo Joe’ Jones, before finding the earlier generation - the likes of Barney Kessel, Kenny Burrell, Joe Pass and Wes Montgomery. Tricky to pick between them to be honest, but it seemed this upbeat and optimistic big band number from the 1966 ‘California Dreaming’ album by Wes Montogomery, a mixture of contemporary pop covers and jazz standards, with Herbie Hancock on piano, and engineered by Rudy Van Gelder - two more heroes of mine - was a good way to close out my Dusk Dubs choices.

My Life At 45’ by Dr Rubberfunk is available now on LP, CD and Digital on Jalapeno Records from all good retailers and digital services.

**Tracklisting**

1) Peddlers - ‘Whole Lot Of Sunlight’, from the 1970 Philips LP ‘Three For All’.

I picked this up in Avid Records in Oxford in the late nineties, I got a lot of good stuff from them around that time, picking up cheap classic soul, blues and jazz LPs, bargain priced late ‘80s / early ‘90s 12” singles that I’d missed the first time round and just taking a punt on interesting looking sleeves, or bands I’d heard about in sampling cirlces. ‘Suite London’ was the hot crate digger’s favourite from The Peddlers, but the production on ‘Three For All’ is right up my street, with wonderful hammond playing and a killer drum sound. It’s a great album from start to finish. I’ve used tracks on a few mixtapes in the past 20 years, but not this particular one, and with an apt title, it seemed like ‘Whole Lot Of Sunlight' was a nice way to kick off my late summer Dusk Dubs selection!

2) Joe McDuphrey Experience - ‘Solar Waves’, from the 2002 Stones Throw 12” ‘Experience EP’.

Madlib made a big impression on me when I first started producing with a sampler and a second hand Hohner Pianet. I really enjoyed this era when he was mixing live instrumentation with the straight up MPC sample business. ‘Solar Waves’ has it all - lolloping drums, wonky synths and tasty electric piano - a super laid-back groove, and is one I rediscovered in my collection recently. Plus, I’m a sucker for coming up with a bunch of aliases to cover all the roles you might play on a record - Madlib is the undisputed champ at that.

3) Paul Weller - ‘That Spiritual Feeling’ (New Mix) from the 1993 Go! Discs promo 12” GOXDJ 102.

My first proper music industry job in the mid nineties was as a radio plugger, and we shared an office building with Go!Discs - home at the time to Portishead, David Holmes, The Beautiful South and Paul Weller, amongst others. There was a little shared kitchen area with a photocopier, and I was busily copying press releases one afternoon on about my 3rd day in the job, when I heard someone making a drink behind me. Turning round I was confronted by Mr Paul Weller himself, impeccably dressed (with an AMAZING tan) stirring his cup of tea. ‘Hello’ he said, ‘I’m Paul - nice to meet you’.

I managed not to swoon or drop my photocopying and introduced myself as the new boy. I worked on radio promo with him across various album projects for the next 4 years, culminating with a week on a tour bus with Paul and his crew doing sessions at radio stations across the country. Story for another time maybe … Anyway - also in that little kitchen area at Go! Discs was their stock cupboard, which I rinsed for releases I’d missed in the years prior to my starting work there. ‘That Spiritual Feeling’ was originally on his first solo release ‘Into Tomorrow’ in 1991, but got remixed and added to this promo, as well as appearing on the ‘Sunflower’ 12” (taken from ‘Wildwood’) It’s got the instantly recognisable JBs on it, with a classic horn arrangement backing up a kinda hypnotic 2 chord groove that just rolls and rolls. I can listen to it for hours.

4). Rhianna - ‘Word Love’ (4 Hero Soul Mix) from the 2002 Sony Soho Square promo 7” XPR 3600.

4 Hero were killing it in the early ‘00s as their productions evolved from the breakbeat mastery of the ‘90s into the wonderfully orchestrated arrangements that saw them covering ‘Les Fleur’, and bringing their deft touch to an increasing number of quality remixes. I don’t think this version of British soul star Rhianna’s ‘Word Love’ - which I loved in it’s original form - ever made it to a commercial release, but it’s something I’ve played out a lot over the years, and it always gets great comments and a bunch of info requests from the crowd.

5) GangStarr - ‘Jazz Thing’ (Instrumental Mix) from the 1990 CBS promo 12” XPR 1571.

I saw Mo Better Blues at the cinema in Australia in November 1990 and bought the soundtrack on cassette the next day. Brandford Marsalis and Terence Blanchard have a superb dialogue across all the tracks, especially on the Canonball Adderley-esque title track. However, Gang Starr’s ‘Jazz Thing’ blew my tiny teenage mind, and I became a bit obsessed with it over the next few years, the samples, the cuts, the live loops - especially after my new college mate Pete made me a tape a year or so later with two extra versions from the 12”, including this, the Instrumental Mix. I finally tracked down my own copy of this import promo in the Soul & Dance Exchange in Notting Hill in the late nineties, and it’s lived in my record bag pretty much ever since.

6) John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers with Peter Green - ‘Greeny’, from the 1969 Decca LP ‘The World Of Blues Power’.

Everyone my sort of age with some records is bound to have one or two liberated from their parent’s collection, and this was an album I discovered in my folks collection in about 1987, not long after buying a drum kit. I’d been rinsing their Beatles albums since I was a kid - singing along to ‘Drive My Car’ and ‘Octopus’s Garden’, but the World Of Blues Power seem a bit of alien concept until I gave it a good listen as a teen. There’s some classic pyrotechnic stuff from rising Brit Blues stars like Eric Clapton and Paul Butterfield, alongside US veterans like Champion Jack Dupree and Eddie Boyd, who’d moved to Europe in the ‘60s.

Always understated, Peter Green’s playing on ‘Greeny’ is perfect; simple and catchy as hell, but with complete mastery of his instrument.

7) Stanley Clarke - ‘Blues For Mingus’, from the 1979 Nemperor LP ‘I Wanna Play For You’.

This was another ’90s bargain from Avid Records in Oxford, but I first heard it when babysitting in the late ‘80s. The couple who’s kids I was deemed suitably responsible enough to be left in charge of were very happy for me to listen to their small but perfectly formed record collection, and many happy evenings were spent with a pile of C90s taping all sorts of classic jazz and blues. Took me the best part of the next 20 years to find my own vinyl copies of them all mind you. The uptempo jazz rock that Stanley Clarke was known for in the ‘70s is featured throughout the part-live ‘I Wanna Play For You’ album, but this downtempo small group number perfectly encapsulated my idea of what a jazz club gig should sound like; dark, smoky and soulful.

8) Al Green - ‘Lay It Down’, from the 2008 Blue Note LP ‘Lay It Down’.

Is it controversial to call this my favourite Al Green album? I mean, you can’t deny the classic ‘60s and ‘70s hits, but for me, this Questlove produced LP is right up there in terms of songwriting and production. I could have happily featured any of the album tracks here, but went with the title track for the silky strings and restrained playing from Questlove. Something as a drumming producer myself I’m less good at ;)

9) Matt Deighton - ‘Hey, My Mind’, from the 1995 Focus LP ‘Villager’.

This whole album is stuffed full of timeless sounding songs, it's one I’ve listened to alot over the years and comes complete with alot of happy memories.

Just before I got the plugging job, I’d been working in promotions for (the original) Virgin Radio in London, driving a branded vehicle around town all day. Seems mad and pointless in 2020, but it was fun in 1995, I was young, it seemed to be sunny all the time, I had a free 4WD and it paid quite well. I used the station’s copy of ‘The White Book’ - an entertainment industry directory that cost a small fortune back then - to look up the addresses of my favourite record labels, and spent most days knocking on their doors in an attempt to blag some free records. One of these labels was Acid Jazz, and, having announced which station I worked for, I was rushed in to meet their head of marketing and plied with records and CDs, before someone eventually asked ‘so, what is it you actually do at Virgin again?’. I bluffed my way through the next 10 minutes and agreed to have a chat to the producer of the evening show about getting a session for Matt Deighton. Matt was the singer and guitarist with Mother Earth, of whom I was a big fan, and was currently promoting a new solo album ‘Villager’ - Mother Earth had been a guest on the Virgin show before, and so the producer said yes to a session. I’m sure she would have booked him anyway, but she graciously let me set it up with Acid Jazz, gaining me some vital industry kudos and connections in the process.

10) Money Mark - ‘All The People’, from the 1998 Mo Wax / A&M LP ‘Push The Button’.

Mo Wax were one of my favourite ‘90s labels, having been introduced to them by a college friend sometime in ’93, and I think I tried unsuccessfully blagging my way onto their mailing list in my Virgin days, but later on, after the A&M deal, I had better luck getting occasional freebies. ‘Mark’s Keyboard Repair’ was the record that the genre lo-fi was invented for, with the mix of bit-crushed samples and live vintage keys, but ‘Push The Button’ is a brilliantly rounded record, with some great pop songs. Session legend Jim Keltner is playing drums on this track, which I’d forgotten about until I was reading the sleevenotes while recording this mix - his playing with the likes of Delaney & Bonnie, BB King, Leon Russell, Bill Withers, Eric Clapton and all of the Beatles on their various solo projects has been a big influence on my drumming style over the years. Records I’ve never heard of but have bought just because Jim Keltner is on drums is an extensive section of my collection.

11) Bedouine - ‘Summer Cold’, from the 2017 Spacebomb Records LP ‘Bedouine’.

Spacebomb are one of my favourite contemporary labels, with a studio sound and ethos that I aspire to greatly as I enter my third decade as a producer, and I’ve been picking up their releases since hearing label owner, and talented artist, Matthew E. White interviewed on 6 Music back in 2015. LA Based Syrian born Bedouine put out one of my most listened to albums of 2017 (and since!), and I would have featured any of the tracks in this mix, but something about the found sounds at the end of ‘Summer Cold’ seemed to work very nicely with the start of the following song from Emily King. Bedouine’s vocal and guitar sound is wonderfully distintive, and beautifully enhanced by the sympathetic Spacebomb Horn and String arrangements - get yourself the LP!

12) Emily King - ‘Distance’, from the 2015 Making Music Records LP ‘The Switch’.

I didn’t listen to many new records while I was producing Izo FitzRoy’s debut (track coming next!) - I think I thought I’d find it distracting, I suspect that wouldn’t have been the case, but once Izo’s record was in the can, I gorged on releases I’d missed and found things that have become all time favourites. Most of them seem to be by women with a very different sound to Izo, but equally captivating writing and energy. Emily King is one of those artists, along with Bedouine, Jane Weaver and Aldous Harding amongst others. ‘Distance’ is such a great song, and I love Emily’s voice and guitar playing, plus the production and feel too - ticks all the boxes for me.

13) Izo FitzRoy - ‘Heads Held High’, from the 2017 Jalepeno Records LP ‘Skyline’.

This was one of my favourites from Izo’s debut that I produced and played on a few years ago. A great lyric and performance from Izo over a groove that we worked hard to sound like a mix of samples and live instruments, but was in fact all recorded and produced in my studio at home. Initially Izo and I were writing on some tracks that I’d already recorded with a view to them going on a Dr Rubberfunk album, but it was pretty clear after we’d written a few things together that she had so many great songs that the project needed to be an album for her. Even at a few years distance, I’m still really pleased with how the record turned out, with a ’studio sound’ I can call my own, and one that I’ve been able to carry over to my recent ‘My Life At 45’ LP - on which Izo turns in another couple of killer performances!

14) Urban Species - ‘Blanket’ featuring Imogen Heap, from the 1998 Talkin’ Loud LP ‘Blanket’.

Along with Acid Jazz and Mo Wax, Talkin’ Loud were another label I was madly collecting everything they released throughout the ‘90s and beyond. Having DJ’d in support of Urban Species at my college in 1994, I was already a fan, and their second album ‘Blanket’ is one of my all-time favourites by any artist. It features two great collaborations with Terry Callier, and two with Imogen Heap, including the title track featured here. Great writing and production, I was very influenced by this record as I started working with vocalists. Always love the guitar solo over the fade out too - if it exists, I’d love to get my hands on the full version without the fade!

15) Routes In Jazz - ‘Out In The Jungle’, from the 1992 Concious Records 12” CON 999.

Another sure shot from my days as a nascent DJ at Froebel College in West London in the early ‘90s. I was fortunate to have the support and encouragement of a couple of older students as I joined the Student Union and started organising events, and one of them - Lee - actually let me borrow his records to play out with a few times.

In some ways it’s a very 1992 record, but has stood the test of time in terms of production as far as I’m concerned.

16) DJ Krush - ‘Yeah’, from the 1994 Mo Wax LP ‘Strictly Turntablized’.

Early Mo Wax classic, from before all this sort of thing was considered ‘trip hop’, it was just killer instrumental hip hop as far as I was concerned, and DJ Krush, along with DJ Shadow, was right up there, leading the way. Another big influence on me when I eventually got a sampler - tough drums: check, swinging bass sample: check, jazzy horn and vocal samples: check. Love it.

17) Freak Power - ‘My Heart Sings’, from the 1994 ‘In Dub - The Fried Funk Food EP’, bonus album with some vinyl editions of the ‘Drive Thru Booty’ LP

They say never meet your heroes, but having meet and worked with both Norman Cook and Ashley Slater, the creators of the Freak Power project, I’d have to disagree. Naturally, if you’ve read through the tracklisting this far, you’ll have worked out there’s another showbiz story to go with this selection, and there is, but I’m saving it for another time, ‘cos it’s LONNNGGGG. Suffice it to say, ‘Turn On Tune In, Cop Out’ was a massive tune in ’93, and when the album dropped the following year I was straight down the record shop on release day.

In case you were worried I’d skipped over my love of the blues with just one track, here’s a less well known number from Freddie King, recorded during sessions with Eric Clapton and his band in the early ’70s, just a few years before King’s untimely death in 1976.

21) Donny Hathaway - ‘What’s Going On?’ from the 2014 ATCO Records LP ‘Live At The Bitter End 1971’.

I heard Gilles Peterson play tracks from this album on his 6 Music Show on Record Store Day in 2014. RSD often falls on my birthday weekend, so I thought I’d treat myself to this re-issue (with previously unissued tracks) of Donny Hathaway’s 1971 shows at the Bitter End on Bleecker Street in New York City.

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Ben Wilcox to the Dusk Dubs famiy.

The chances are that if you ever arrived at work a little cloudy behind the ears on a Tuesday morning in the 90’s Ben Wilcox was probably to blame. As part of the seminal Monday night club That’s How It Is at Bar Rumba, alongside Gilles Peterson and James Lavelle, Ben brought his genre busting, block party, eclectic mix of funky dancefloor detonators to an international crowd of seasoned DJ stars and clued up ‘n’ hip young London things. A member of both the Massive Attack and Ballistic Brothers sound systems, and Blue Note resident DJ, his party rocking style has taken him all over the globe playing alongside DJ’s as diverse as Francois Kevorkian, Grooverider, DJ Harvey, Kruder and Dorfmeister and DJ Shadow.

From 1996 to 2004 Ben co-owned and was Director of both Sirkus and Laws Of Motion record label. He also wrote for the legendary "Straight No Chaser" magazine, was guest Radio Presenter for Ross Allen’s tri-weekly Sony Award winning BBC London show. He created mixes for Gilles Peterson’s BBC Radio One Worldwide show and British Airways Inflight radio station, had London DJ residencies including The Blue Note, Scala, Fabric and of course Bar Rumba with James Lavelle and Gilles Peterson and was European tour DJ for Massive Attack. In 2003 Ben created the compilation album Bar Rumba: 10 Years of Dancing for Amnesty International. and held International DJ residences (Spain, France, and Ireland) and global guest appearances in the USA, Italy, Singapore, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, and German.

As Ben maintains..... "He's Still buying too many records and still addicted to the next ltd. ediiton"

**Tracklisting**

1) Bob James – Theme from Taxi
One of the first records I ever bought as a kid was a compilation called ‘Visions’ that had lots of themes from TV shows and films but this was the one I bought it for. I was too young to know what an influence Bob James would be on me in later life.

2) The Awakening – Mode for D.D
The Young Disciples - Carleen, Femi and Marco – did what is now known as a takeover of Patrick Forge’s Cosmic Jam show on Kiss FM and they dropped lots of nuggets: some they gave us the title to and, in true rare groove style, some they didn’t.

My cassette of this show was on its last legs and praying for mercy ten years later and I still hadn’t found this track until one wonderful Saturday afternoon in the original Soul Jazz this came on and I raced to buy it. DJ’s used to go to actual shops then, meet up, chat about tunes. Miss that.

3) Big John Patton – Dirty Fingers
First proper ‘big’ jazz gig I went to was BJP at the Town and Country club in London. Was still at school so had to tell my mum and dad I was “staying at a friend’s”. Became a bit obsessed with BJP and Grant Green when I was a teenager so this was a massive gig for me.

4) Billy Hawks – O’Baby (I Believe I’m Losing You)
Was introduced to this during the magical summer of ’87 and it went on every mixtape I did and I think half of south east London was humming it by the end of August. Infectious.

5) Grace Jones – Slave to the Rhythm
Oh, where to start. Grace’s Island Life changed my life.

6) Art of Noise – Close (to the edit)
Purchased from Woolworths on a 7”, alongside a Thomas Dolby record, I’d never heard anything like this. Been sampled to death, which is ironic and right.

7) Davy DMX – One for the Treble
Like most music heads my age I was an addict for Noel and Maurice Watson’s Electro albums on Street Sounds and this was a gamechanger track for me. I had never heard anything like that bass line and those samples before. Big tune at my 11th birthday party with the system in the garden, the lino and the bad popping and locking.

8) Happy Mondays – Wrote for Luck (Vince Clark remix)
The Chart Show was on the TV in the house on Saturday morning and the video for this came on. I’d just started dabbling in acid and this was the closest thing I’d ever seen on screen to tripping your nut off. Was even better live.

9) Information Society – Running
Mike Allen’s Capital Rap Show was the must listen to show as a teenager and this was – and still is -one of the records that I can never get enough of. Passionate electro and remixes from a very young Louie Vega and Albert Cabrerra when they were playing freestyle at The Nest in NYC.

10) Electribe 101 – Talking with Myself
After the acid madness on the dancefloor in the ‘80’s a deeper sound came along and Electribe 101, with Billy Ray Martin’s sultry vocals, were just an amazing blend of comedown house and songs from the heart.

11) our Below Zero – My Baby’s Got ESP
One of the wonderful things about music is its power to unify and I’ve been lucky enough to have a lot of friends from Glasgow who’ve got soul for miles. Sam Fraser, a Glasgow legend, introduced me to this and whenever he came to Bar Rumba I’d play this and we’d dance like nothing else mattered, and then I’d suddenly realize I had to put on another record!

12) Donald Byrd _ Jeanine (live)
I’d gone in at the deep end of learning about jazz with Coltrane cassettes my brother in law kindly did for me and it was a steep learning curve. There was a show on Radio London (where I later DJ’d) called Mad On Jazz by this bloke called Gilles Peterson; the show changed my life and was inspirational and this is one of the tracks that was my gateway into loving jazz. Every solo is amazing.

13) Santana – Jungle Strut
If you want fire and soul in a tune, it’s right here.

14) Airto – Samba de Flora
You can’t stand still! The most passionate dance record of all time. Was lucky enough to have a Guinness or two with him at Ronnie Scotts one quiet Monday night when I should’ve been revising for my A levels. Such an amazing man.

15) Jazz Warriors – In Reference to Our Forefathers Father’s Dreams
This is a very important record for me, it was the UK jazz scene in the 1980’s finding a voice and not selling out. No compromise. Cleveland Watkiss, Courtney Pine, Steve Williamson, Mark Mondesir, Gary Crosby, Orphy Robinson and many other greats creating a pathway for jazz in the UK. They got their voices heard and I hope everyone takes the time to listen to this all the way through: it is majestic.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Ben Wilcox to the Dusk Dubs famiy.

The chances are that if you ever arrived at work a little cloudy behind the ears on a Tuesday morning in the 90’s Ben Wilcox was probably to blame. As part of the seminal Monday night club That’s How It Is at Bar Rumba, alongside Gilles Peterson and James Lavelle, Ben brought his genre busting, block party, eclectic mix of funky dancefloor detonators to an international crowd of seasoned DJ stars and clued up ‘n’ hip young London things. A member of both the Massive Attack and Ballistic Brothers sound systems, and Blue Note resident DJ, his party rocking style has taken him all over the globe playing alongside DJ’s as diverse as Francois Kevorkian, Grooverider, DJ Harvey, Kruder and Dorfmeister and DJ Shadow.

From 1996 to 2004 Ben co-owned and was Director of both Sirkus and Laws Of Motion record label. He also wrote for the legendary "Straight No Chaser" magazine, was guest Radio Presenter for Ross Allen’s tri-weekly Sony Award winning BBC London show. He created mixes for Gilles Peterson’s BBC Radio One Worldwide show and British Airways Inflight radio station, had London DJ residencies including The Blue Note, Scala, Fabric and of course Bar Rumba with James Lavelle and Gilles Peterson and was European tour DJ for Massive Attack. In 2003 Ben created the compilation album Bar Rumba: 10 Years of Dancing for Amnesty International. and held International DJ residences (Spain, France, and Ireland) and global guest appearances in the USA, Italy, Singapore, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, and German.

As Ben maintains..... "He's Still buying too many records and still addicted to the next ltd. ediiton"

**Tracklisting**

1) Bob James – Theme from Taxi
One of the first records I ever bought as a kid was a compilation called ‘Visions’ that had lots of themes from TV shows and films but this was the one I bought it for. I was too young to know what an influence Bob James would be on me in later life.

2) The Awakening – Mode for D.D
The Young Disciples - Carleen, Femi and Marco – did what is now known as a takeover of Patrick Forge’s Cosmic Jam show on Kiss FM and they dropped lots of nuggets: some they gave us the title to and, in true rare groove style, some they didn’t.

My cassette of this show was on its last legs and praying for mercy ten years later and I still hadn’t found this track until one wonderful Saturday afternoon in the original Soul Jazz this came on and I raced to buy it. DJ’s used to go to actual shops then, meet up, chat about tunes. Miss that.

"This selection includes tracks taken from my formative years, musical junctures, and those that I particularly enjoyed over the years. The list is by no means exhaustive - it was tricky to hone down the list but I’ve tried to present a selection from different styles/genres with some coherence! " [[Wai Wan ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Guided by Love – 2814 (2016)
Like an underscore to a wide-screen Wong Kar-Wai movie, the melancholy and loneliness of cities is beautifully captured in this slow-motion hypnotic Vaporwave dreamscape.

2) Party People – Herbie Hancock (1974)
My first chance encounter with Herbie Hancock’s music was through watching my parents’ Hong Kong TVB soap dramas in the early 80s – this cue always featured as an underscore. The theme was originally set to Bronson’s on-screen vigilante handy-work, but it evokes moments of Bitches Brew and Mahavishnu. I love how this momentary breaks with the funky synth bass.

3) Sound Orgy - Likwid Biskit (1998)
One of my favourite Broken Beat records - its musicality and approach to MPC programming using off-beats and choked crashes sounded so fresh at the time and still does. There was so much amazing music that came from that scene during that period. Props to IG Culture and Kaidi Tatham.

4) Sun Goddess – Ramsey Lewis & Earth Wind & Fire (1974)
Epic sun drenched Jazz Funk with quite possibly one of the best bands ever. The heat shimmer beautifully captured on the Solina and Ramsey’s workout on the Rhodes. This was on my radar since hearing it at The Cooker at Leeds in 91.

5) Who Comes to Boogie – Little Benny & The Masters (1985)
I literally spend years (pre-internet) trying to find a copy of this since watching Little Benny & The Masters on Old Grey Whistle Test in 85. I was finally given a copy thanks to the lovely Andy Scruff. Awesome Go-Go straight out of DC.

6) Ballad of Dorothy Parker – Prince (1987)
There’s not a lot to say about Prince that hasn’t been said already. I’ve been a huge fan of his music since being at school. I think his best work was between 78 - 88. There’s such an incredible catalogue of music to choose from, but I’ve had a particular fondness for this from Sign ‘O’ The Times. The intimacy of his vocals with the wobbly FM electric piano reminds me of Sly & The Family Stone. The production and drum programming is outstanding on this.

7) People Make The World Go Round – The Stylistics (1971)
My first album on cassette was ‘The Best Of The Stylistics’ which I apparently played a lot in my childhood. Those sweet falsetto tones set against marimbas and wind chimes must’ve appeal to me. A timeless record.

8) The Flower Called Nowhere – Stereolab (1997)
If ever there was a record that could evoke the sensation of wind blowing in your hair on a 60s road trip along the French Riviera, this would be it. A kaleidoscopic tapestry of harmonies and rolling harpsichords – a life-affirming experience with every listen.

9) Before We Begin – Broadcast (3.22)
Broadcast had such a great sound and they made some exceptional music that was beautifully dreamy and psychedelic. Sadly this was cut short due to Trish Kenaan’s tragic death at such a young age – she had such a captivating voice.

10) I Need You Everyday - Yeow Nga (196?)
From my parents 60s Cantonese/Taiwanese record collection during my childhood. A funky fusion of the Orient juxtaposed with garage surf guitars and Latin rhythms. I’ve grown to appreciate these more with age. It challenges identity and culture – things I often questioned myself as a BBC (British-born Chinese) growing up in 70s Britain.

11) We’ve Only Just Begun - The Frank Cunimondo Trio feat. Lynn Marino (1971) (2.26)
I absolutely love Lynn Marino’s voice; it has such an endearing quality. I wish she’d recorded more music. Thanks to Rob aka Chubby Grooves for the heads up on this LP – an absolute gem. This will always remind me of the many afternoon sessions in my flat mid 90s Manchester where we’d listen to fresh records straight out of the stores.

12) Midnight Cowboy – John Barry (1969)
John Barry’s music is always beautifully evocative with an underlying sadness. He made the best bitter-sweet music that always had a strong melodic theme – a thing that is somewhat absent in many contemporary scores. The original Midnight Cowboy sound track is one of my favourite sound tracks which features some ace Elephant’s Memory’s tracks.

13) San Francisco River – Airto Moriera (1973)
One of several versions of this song originally written by his wife Flora. I once saw Airto perform live and before the interval he rocked an entire audience by playing solo pandeiro – I was watching a true master at work. I love the simplicity in this piece and the richness in harmony.

14) Modulor Mix – Air (1995)
Enchanting electronic celestial sounds from the brilliant French duo. There’s attention for detail in every element, perhaps a product of their architectural/mathematical mindset?

Each element is carefully considered with great attention to detail, from the bold use of space echo to the Jean-Claude Vannier inspired strings. Despite being used on countless lifestyle/property programmes on television, this track is untarnished and remains a great piece of work.

15) Autumn Leaves (Irresistible Force Mix Trip 2) – Coldcut (1993)
I love this rework of a jazz standard which sounds like its being propelled by a stream of dubbed-out analogue bubbles in suspension. It has a cinematic quality with strings to die for. Doff caps to Mixmaster Morris and Coldcut.

16) Fotografia – Astrud Gilberto (1965)
One from my formative years whilst studying classical guitar which was my induction to Brazilian music. The fragility in Gilberto’s voice set against Jobim’s accompaniment perfectly captures a feeling of lost love and jet set escapism.

17) Only My Love Is True - Foster Sylvers
Could be mistaken as early Jackson 5 but that would be a flippant comparison – this record is as good if not better. The Sylvers were another family act and like the Jacksons, their lead singer Foster gained recognition for the wrong reasons later in life. Many thanks to Ade at Plastic People for this.

18) We Need Love – Johnny Osbourne (1979)
This is spiritual and uplifting soulful Reggae with the warmest message. Thanks to my old housemate Dom Pastafari at Blood & Fire for putting me onto this. Such a heavenly bliss indeed.

19) Don’t Stay Away – Phyllis Dillon
Lovely Rocksteady that takes me back to my student digs in Harehills, Leeds - a stone’s throw from Chapeltown. Pirate stations were mostly playing Dancehall and Lovers Rock, when this gem cropped up.

20) Always Returning – Brian Eno (1983) (4:04)
From one of my favourite Eno albums Apollo. I’ve always loved the juxtaposition of Lanois’ pedal steel and guitar harmonics against Eno’s FM ambient textures; it evokes a warm sense of nostalgia. I remember the profound feeling of hearing this against the original NASA footage in the documentary For All Mankind.

21) LFO – LFO (1990)
When first hearing this it sounded like the future had arrived - jacking futuristic beats, profound low end, and the sound of rattling glass in my local club. A game changer way ahead of its time and still sounds amazing.

22) Voodoo Ray - A Guy Called Gerald (1989)
This will always be affiliated with Manchester’s Hacienda along with other home grown records like Pacific State, Carino etc. I love the story behind the making of this record which revealed how the track earned its name by truncating ‘Voodoo Rage’ sample due to insufficient sample memory. Classic Acid House.

23) Electric Counterpoint (Part III) - Steve Reich (1987)
I’ll admit, I only learnt about this after hearing the Orb sample this of Little Fluffy Clouds. The result of Metheny’s multi-layered performances is truly sublime.

24) Song For The Lonely Woman – Art Blakey (1972)
Bitter sweet goodness courtesy of Stanley Clarke off Blakey’s ‘Child’s Dance’ album. This track is heavy – with a hauntingly beautiful melody underpinned by driving deep afro-latin groove, and outstanding sax and Rhodes workouts.

25) T.R.O.Y. – Pete Rock & CL Smooth (1992)
One of my most favourite Hip-Hop tracks from the Golden Era. Only Pete Rock could flip the Tom Scott sample on his 1200 and turn it into this classic.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Coco Bryce to the Dusk Dubs famiy.

Learning to DJ from his friends, Bryce got himself “a pair of Soundlab belt-drive turntables” and started to pick up bookings at a mate’s local night, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Production-wise, his journey has been a winding one. Over the years he’s dabbled in four-to-the-floor hardcore, skweee and, quite regularly, hip-hop. It’s his emotive, rolling take on breakbeat hardcore/jungle which has become his primary focus and as jungle’s new wave has solidified into a certifiable movement, Coco has become one of the genre’s most sought-after producers.

His junglistic sound involves typically intricate drum patterns, but ones that remain playful and full of groove, and his tracks are often backed by warm or melancholic pads, and peppered with squeaky, uplifting vox lines.

His approach is certainly working. Along with drops on his own Myor imprint — which he also uses as an outlet to support artists such as FFF and Necrotype — Bego has notched up releases on Dead Man’s Chest’s Western Lore, 7th Storey Projects and Fresh 86, the latter of which put out his full-length, ‘Night On Earth’. A stunning eight-track affair, the oldest tunes on the album actually date back to 2016, yet it superbly sums up the positive, laid-back vibe that Bego does so well.

** Tracklisting **

1) Geneva Jacuzzi – Love Caboose

I had to look this up, as I wasn't sure which year it was, but it turned out to be 2013. One of my flat mates at the time was dating a fella called Marwan. Him and I started hanging out quite frequently and soon became good friends, sharing a mutual love for Ariel Pink and other lofi hipster pop wank. He'd constantly be playing stuff that I'd never heard before, leaving me to ask him for track ID's pretty much all the time. The one that grabbed me the most tho, and still to this day immediately reminds me of him whenever I hear it, was this song by Geneva Jacuzzi. Upon hearing it for the first time, I went and downloaded everything I could find that she'd produced so far. I also went and checked to see if she had any shows planned in the Netherlands, only to find out she'd performed in Tilburg (one town over from where I live) literally a week earlier. Shame we missed that.

A couple years later Marwan ended up doing the artwork for a number of releases of mine: Seki Setsu, Dark Dub and Ayakashi. He's also responsible for the logo of my first jungle label Myor Massiv.

2) Sade – When Am I Going To Make A Living

The epitome of cool. Impossible to pick a favourite song of hers, but I felt like this one today, so there you go..

My infatuation with Sade started back in 1993, when Smooth Operator was used in Chico Brenes' part in the first FTC video, Finally, and hasn't gotten any less since. I have a huge Sade poster hanging above the turntables in my living room and even went on to name my second jungle imprint after her seminal debut album. She is, to me, the personification of style and grace: from the way she sings to the way she moves and dresses, it just doesn't get any more classy and smooth.

3) Trio Serenata – Cumbia Sobre El Mar

This one isn't really tied to any specific memory of, but I wanted to include at least one cumbia tune in here, seeing as I've been listening to quite a lot of it throughout the years. It's featured on a massive 2 disc compilation album released by Soundway back in 2011, curated by Will Holland aka Quantic.

My knowledge of cumbia borders on zero, but what I do know is that this has to be one of the most common and most covered songs of the genre. I've heard at least 3 different versions of it, by different artists, leading me to believe that there's probably even more out there. This is still my favourite version though.

4) Doe Maar – Belle Helene

I could be wrong, but as far as I know this was the first LP I ever owned. I must've been about 6 years old at the time when my parents got me the “5 Jaar Doe Maar” compilation album. The weird thing about this band is that, despite their often heavy and sometimes even rather raunchy lyrics, their following at the time consisted mainly of teens and very young kids. I'm not even gonna describe what this song is actually about, and I seriously doubt one could get away with releasing something like this right now in 2020 without getting banned from the radio.. Or banned in general.. I had to include it though, as it's one of my first musical memories, from when I was a wee shrimp, oblivious to the lyrics.

5) De La Soul – Breakadawn De La Soul were responsible for cheering up a bike ride to and from school in the late 80s and early 90s. It was mostly their first 2 albums (3 Feet High & Rising and De La Soul Is Dead) which I listened to religiously back then. But tbf I think their third album (Buhloone Mind State, which Breakadawn is featured on) is their most interesting, as it marks somewhat of a transition in their production (and probably in my own life as well). The vibe is just so different from their first ones, which were more like this crazy patchwork of skits and tunes, loads of tunes, whereas Buhloone feels more compact and coherent. I don't think any of the songs made it into the charts (unlike the many that did from those first two albums), and I always felt like it was kind of overlooked and underrated, but in hindsight I also think it's the one that best stood the test of time, aging like a fine wine.

6) The Smiths – Still Ill

Obviously “Big Mouth Strikes Again” was the first song I heard by The Smiths. I can't stand to listen to that one anymore though, as I've heard it way too often. It's one of those bands that you either hate or love. And I belong to the second category. Besides him being an outspoken vegan, I don't really agree with much else Morrissey has to say. I remember having a conversation about him a couple years ago, with someone who was kinda gobsmacked at some of the outrageous things he'd said in the media around that same time. I thought that was pretty funny and asked her if she'd ever actually listened to any of his lyrics. Anyways, good tunes yes, but if anyone ever comes at you saying contemporary Trap rappers just talk a bunch of gibberish, play them a couple of Smiths songs instead and see what they have to say about those.

7) Ariel Pink – This Night Has Opened My Eyes

And a nice little bridge here, Ariel Pink performing a Smiths song. It's one of those rare occasions where I actually prefer the cover over the original version.

Had to look this up as well, and judging by the release date of the 7” EP this was featured on (My Molly EP) it must've been 2006 or 2007.

One of my besties (Elry aka Beverly Crush) told me Ariel Pink was performing in our hometown (Breda) and persuaded me and a couple other mates to come check it out. It was a free show, in the pub next to one of our local concert venues. I reckon there were about 30 people there, if that. Their performance consisted of a girl playing chords on a keyboard with bits of duct tape stuck to it, a rather strung out looking fella playing the bass guitar and then Ariel himself, singing and operating a tape deck, whilst sporting Swedish clogs and a big bag draped across his shoulder. At the end of each song, he'd stick his hand in said bag, pull out a cassette (each of which contained the drums of a particular song), look at the description on the label and then tell the rest of the “band” which tune they were gonna perform next. Their merch stand consisted of completely worn out charity shop shirts with hand painted graphics, plus a little stack of 7”s. It was all a bit pretentious of course, but I was sold regardless and have been a big fan ever since.

8) Drexciya – Andreaen Sand Dunes What can I say? Electro perfection. Clocking in at 6 minutes, with sweet fuck all happening, and still never sounds boring. Doesn't get much better than that imho. For some reason it always makes me think of my mate Nanda, which is a bit odd as I don't think I've ever even heard her play this track. She got me into Dopplereffekt tho, which consists of one of Drexciya's members (Gerald Donald) with a couple of other folks. So perhaps that's the link.

9) Baby D – Casanova (Rapture Mix)

Somewhere around '94 or '95, one of our public broadcasters aired an item about Jungle in a weekly radio show, in which they interviewed DJ's Dreazz and Nubian, who'd just started Triple Vision, one of the first shops to import Jungle, Breakbeat Hardcore and Drum&Bass to the Netherlands. One of my mates recorded the show and jotted down the telephone number they supplied.

A couple days later, he called the number and made an appointment for us to swing by and cop some vinyl. And so the next week, after school, we took the train to Delft (this was just months before they opened up their first real store in Rotterdam), and were picked up by DJ Nubian at the station there. He drove us to his place, a dimly lit flat, occupied by DJ Dreazz and a host of cool cats that looked well intimidating to us, two wet behind the ears, small town teenagers. We only had enough money for about a handful of records, and were basically clueless, so we ended up buying a couple of compilation albums, to get as many tunes as possible in one go. My picks were “Jungle Hits Volume 2” and Production House's “Best Of Jungle 2”, the latter of which had a much darker sound palette than the Jungle Hits series, which intrigued me right from the get go. My favourites of that album were and still are The License, You Must Think First and this here Baby D tune. To this day it always takes me back to that strange, yet defining era of the mid 90s.

10) Quarteto Em Cy – Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser

Another compilation album find, the Soul Of Brazil. Great album, loads of beautiful tunes on there, but this one takes the cake. At the time I was driving an old, black Renault Clio, which was equipped with a tape deck, tons of cigarette buds and a lot of other garbage. I'd recorded a couple of the album's songs on a cassette, along with some other recent purchases, and must've played it hundreds of times. It mostly takes me back to memories of driving to the lake just outside of Breda during a seemingly endless summer.

11) Guido – Orchestral Lab

Dubstep heydays. To be fair I was never too keen on the “deep” stuff, nor the Brostep variant, and it wasn't until Joker, Zombie and Rustie etc started releasing their more melodic take on the genre that I got interested in it. I reckon to most people this would qualify more as “instrumental Grime” or something along those lines of course, but to me, back then, I called pretty much everything that was 140 and half tempo Dubstep. It always reminded me of the Art Of Noise's Moments In Love. And I've always wondered why Guido's music didn't get more exposure than it did, because I personally think it was some of the most original and beautiful stuff out there.

12) Slugabed – Here You Are

2009. The newly formed Lowriders Collective hosts a series of nights at Worm in Rotterdam. Two of its members are old mates of mine who I've known since my late 90s squat party days, and I'm invited to play one of their events, alongside a very talented young producer called Slugabed. After we're both done playing I give him one of my CD's, containing some beats I'd made. We link up on MySpace a couple of days later and exchange tunes.

Quick rewind to 2005, I'd started my label Myor together with a friend, but due to a lack of funds, our first 12” never made it past the test press stage.

After a 4 year hiatus though, surrounded by all this fresh, exciting new music that was popping up all over the place (Skweee, Dubstep, Wonky or however you wanna call it), I decided to pick things up again, although not quite where I'd left off. I asked Young Sluga if he'd be up for doing a split EP on my label, he said yes, I had it pressed up, Lowriders head honcho Sim Commander linked me with Rubadub to sort distribution, and off I went. Then about a year later I released the first of the Tropical Heat compilation EPs, on which this particular tune was featured (you can nab a copy for as little as a single Pound now on Discogs). I still think it's one of the most gorgeous pieces of music I've had the honour of releasing.

13) Dudley Perkins – Momma

The first time I heard of Madlib was when him and MF Doom released their Madvillainy album back in 2004. I was instantly mesmerised by his dusty, gritty productions and soon developed a taste for anything Stones Throw related.

A couple years prior, the same mate who I'd initially started Myor with (Artek) had given me an album by the Mad Men for my birthday. It took me a minute to put two and two together and realise Dudley Perkins was the same person as Declaime, the producer responsible for the beats on the Mad Men album. I love that LP, but I love the Dudley Perkins album even more, probably because his not entirely in key singing goes so well with Madlib's phat and grubby productions. Also worth mentioning is the Jason Jägel artwork on the sleeve of the Washedbrainsyndrome EP this tune was featured on, hands down one of my all time favourite record covers.

14) Ssaliva – Yet Another Vase If I had to name one producer who's influenced my way of looking at, listening to and producing music, Ssaliva (aka Cupp Cave) would be my pick. Whether its hip hop beats, old school house, lo fi pop instrumentals or off kilter ambient abstractions, this guy knows how to lay down a vibe with the most minimal amount of ingredients. Pure class.

15) FFF – It Began In Man's Mind

Although FFF and I have known each other for close to 2 decades now, it wasn't until some 5 or so years ago that we became the good friends that we are now. We've collaborated on a fair few releases, played tons of shows together and spent many an hour digging through dusty crates of second hand records. He's one of very very few people that I trust with all my heart and hold in such high regard, both on a personal level as well as a producer and DJ. A walking, talking music encyclopaedia, hardcore to the bone, and strictly in it for the love of music.

I chose this tune not only because it's one of my favourites out of his immense discography, but also because I know it was the first track he produced after a rather rough period for him personally. When he sent me it, I knew literally within seconds that I wanted to sign it, and that feeling only grew stronger the more the tune progressed. It just keeps building and building, growing more intense with each bar.

16) Motëm – Can't Help It

Another one of my good homies, Dr. Doggenstein aka The Motulator and I first linked up via MySpace after being featured on a number of Skweee compilations together back in the late 2000s. We've maintained somewhat of a pen-pal relationship ever since, emailing each other at least once a week, often even more frequent. And even though he lives about halfway across the globe from me (in Hamilton, Canada) we see each other almost every year.

He's one of the most colourful characters amongst my friends, and is probably best described as the R. Stevie Moore of leftfield Hip Hop: a true king of DIY recording, with a YouTube channel (Gebbz Steelo) that boasts literally hundreds of music videos.

17) The Cure – Fire In Cairo

The Cure have been such a consistent element throughout my entire life, I couldn't NOT include a song of theirs. My earliest memories are linked to late nights in The Hague in the mid 80s, at birthday parties of one of my aunts, where my sister and I were the only kids in attendance. We were allowed to stay up way later than normal, pretty much everyone there was sporting big, fluffy hair and loads of black make up, smoking coloured cigarettes and listening to New Wave. Very exciting. It must've been around the time they released The Head On The Door or Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, but I went with this song off of their debut album Three Imaginary Boys instead, simply because it's my favourite, but also because it always reminds me of my mate Eelco shouting along “F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O.” well loud into my ears whilst driving his car on the way to an out of town skate session.

18) Ace The Space – Your Special Attraction

From about 1996 until 1998 I was more or less obsessed with anything PCP related. The amount of monikers used by Marc Acardipane is quite frankly ridiculous, let alone the number of releases he has to his name. His output consisted mostly of 4x4 hardcore and techno, with a couple of breakbeat workouts on White Breaks FFM. I still play loads of those tunes to this day, and even though this track is in no way anywhere near a good representation of his oeuvre, I've always been well keen on how it manages to combine Trip Hop and Rave in such a stylish manner.

19) Flying Lotus – First Friday Funk

Back to the wonky days of the late 2000s again. In my opinion, FlyLo and his contemporaries Dabrye, HudMo and to a certain extent Prefuse 73 were responsible for the birth of this type of electronic, mostly instrumental and often slightly out of sync hip hop.

I love pretty much all of what he released back then, and rinsed loads of his tunes. To the best of my knowledge, this track was never officially released, and made specifically as an interlude for Adult Swim. He had it up on his MySpace for a while, which is where I ripped the audio from. Well dodgy, but all the sounds are so chip tune-y that the poor quality is barely noticeable, or at least on a home stereo system. I don't think I ever really took the risk of actually playing this at a gig though.

20) The SD 1

I have absolutely zero information about this song, not about the artist nor what the actual track title is. All I know is that I downloaded it in 2005, from one of the many blogs specialising in digging up South East Asian obscurities. It could've been Monrakplengthai, as that's the one I visited most frequently back then, but I'm pretty sure it was a different one, though I have no idea anymore what it was called.

21) Danny De Munk – Ik Voel Me Zo Verdomd Alleen

The track title translates to “I feel so damn lonely”. It was the theme song to a Dutch movie from 1984 called “Ciske De Rat”, in which the singer of this song plays an 11 year old rascal in 1930s Amsterdam. He's constantly getting into trouble, gets kicked out of school, is blamed for the death of one of his friends and eventually ends up stabbing his mother in the neck and killing her, after which he's sent to boarding school.

At the time, this movie, as well as the song, left a rather deep impression on me. It basically scared me shitless. I didn't watch it again until somewhere last year, and even though it didn't scare me as much as it did back then, I was still kinda surprised at how gritty Dutch mainstream cinema was in the 1980s.

22) Neneh Cherry – Manchild

One of the first 7”s I bought from my own pocket money. Where her other big hit Buffalo Stance has a very uplifting party vibe (despite its lyrics also being quite serious, or at least by Pop standards) this one is 100% moody and somewhat sluggish even. I guess in hindsight it would more or less qualify as proto Trip Hop.

It wasn't until more than a decade later that I found out she'd already been performing as part of Rip, Rig & Panic since the early 80s and was the step daughter of Don Cherry. Much like Sade, to me she is another personification of cool, albeit with a more rough around the edges kind of vibe.

23) Bomb The Bass – Don't Make Me Wait

Another one of my first pocket money purchases. I remember seeing the music video on the telly, and being instantly taken by both the tune itself as well as the images of all these ultra cool cats singing, dancing, scratching and skating. The video even has a Keith Haring cameo, which only last about a split second, but still, how sick is that? I didn't remember the name of the tune or the artist though, and so a couple days later I found myself at the music section of the local department store together with my mum, trying to mimic the dance moves in the hopes of the store clerk being able to give me a track ID. I'm not sure anymore if it was him or another customer who was queueing behind us, but someone eventually knew which song I meant and I went home a happy kid that evening.

24) Moses – We Just

Hands down, 100% my longest sought after track ID. Yet another song I either saw on the telly or heard on the radio back in the 80s and tried to find out what it was by humming the melody to my mum and various other members of my family, to no avail. I even “sang” it to my mate FFF not that long ago, and though he knew exactly which tune I meant, he couldn't recall the name off the top of his head either. It took me literally 30+ years to track it down, despite it being a massive Pop hit. And I still can't fully grasp that it was actually one of my 18 year old skater buddies who, unknowingly, solved the mystery about a month ago, casually bumping it off his phone on a bluetooth speaker at the local skatepark. Thx Quincy.

25) Ill Suono – Angle Beat (Dabrye Remix) Somewhere in the mid 2000s, not too long before the Lowriders Collective was formed, one of its founding members, Sim Commander was working at a record shop called V2 in Rotterdam. I guess he'd spotted me buying some Prefuse 73 and Dublab related releases, so he handed me “Additional Productions Vol 1” by Dabrye. I was sold on the spot. The whole EP is straight fire, but it was (and still is) this rework of Angel Beat that got me all hyped up. It was just so different from anything I'd heard up until then, both sonically as well as the way the drums and vocal chops were programmed. It's like he creates an entire universe of its own in a mere three and a half minutes.

26) Zelia Barbosa – Zelao

I stopped buying records by just going off the artwork a long long time ago, seeing as my intuition had let me down a bit more often than I'd like to admit. A couple years ago though, whilst on vacation in Portugal with my then girlfriend, I decided to take a little €5,- chance again for the first time in ages at a random and very touristy second hand market just outside of Lisbon. It turned out to be one of the best 5 Euros I've ever spent. Front to back all killer no filler.

27) Eveson – Make Luv 2 Night

I don't often look up to people, and I rarely envy what others have or are capable of. Alex Eveson (aka Dead Man's Chest) is one of those rare producers though, where I can listen to his tunes, fully analyse what he's doing, and yet still don't understand why it all sounds so fucking good. I guess in a lot of ways he's similar to Ssaliva, in that he's able to lay down the vibiest of vibes with just a handful of elements. Except he does it with jungle and liquid D&B. Effortless style.]]>
Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Coco Bryce
Title: DD0646
Style: Soul, Hip-Hop, Beats, Dubtsep, Bass, Indie, Techno, Brazilian, Breakbeat,
Time: 105 Minutes
Date: 2020-08-16

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Coco Bryce to the Dusk Dubs famiy.

Learning to DJ from his friends, Bryce got himself “a pair of Soundlab belt-drive turntables” and started to pick up bookings at a mate’s local night, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Production-wise, his journey has been a winding one. Over the years he’s dabbled in four-to-the-floor hardcore, skweee and, quite regularly, hip-hop. It’s his emotive, rolling take on breakbeat hardcore/jungle which has become his primary focus and as jungle’s new wave has solidified into a certifiable movement, Coco has become one of the genre’s most sought-after producers.

His junglistic sound involves typically intricate drum patterns, but ones that remain playful and full of groove, and his tracks are often backed by warm or melancholic pads, and peppered with squeaky, uplifting vox lines.

His approach is certainly working. Along with drops on his own Myor imprint — which he also uses as an outlet to support artists such as FFF and Necrotype — Bego has notched up releases on Dead Man’s Chest’s Western Lore, 7th Storey Projects and Fresh 86, the latter of which put out his full-length, ‘Night On Earth’. A stunning eight-track affair, the oldest tunes on the album actually date back to 2016, yet it superbly sums up the positive, laid-back vibe that Bego does so well. There’ll be plenty more in the jungle vein coming throughout the rest of 2020 too,

My favourites of that album were and still are The License, You Must Think First and this here Baby D tune. To this day it always takes me back to that strange, yet defining era of the mid 90s.

10) Quarteto Em Cy – Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser

Another compilation album find, the Soul Of Brazil. Great album, loads of beautiful tunes on there, but this one takes the cake. At the time I was driving an old, black Renault Clio, which was equipped with a tape deck, tons of cigarette buds and a lot of other garbage. I'd recorded a couple of the album's songs on a cassette, along with some other recent purchases, and must've played it hundreds of times. It mostly takes me back to memories of driving to the lake just outside of Breda during a seemingly endless summer.

11) Guido – Orchestral Lab

Dubstep heydays. To be fair I was never too keen on the “deep” stuff, nor the Brostep variant, and it wasn't until Joker, Zombie and Rustie etc started releasing their more melodic take on the genre that I got interested in it. I reckon to most people this would qualify more as “instrumental Grime” or something along those lines of course, but to me, back then, I called pretty much everything that was 140 and half tempo Dubstep. It always reminded me of the Art Of Noise's Moments In Love. And I've always wondered why Guido's music didn't get more exposure than it did, because I personally think it was some of the most original and beautiful stuff out there.

12) Slugabed – Here You Are

2009. The newly formed Lowriders Collective hosts a series of nights at Worm in Rotterdam. Two of its members are old mates of mine who I've known since my late 90s squat party days, and I'm invited to play one of their events, alongside a very talented young producer called Slugabed. After we're both done playing I give him one of my CD's, containing some beats I'd made. We link up on MySpace a couple of days later and exchange tunes.

Quick rewind to 2005, I'd started my label Myor together with a friend, but due to a lack of funds, our first 12” never made it past the test press stage.

After a 4 year hiatus though, surrounded by all this fresh, exciting new music that was popping up all over the place (Skweee, Dubstep, Wonky or however you wanna call it), I decided to pick things up again, although not quite where I'd left off. I asked Young Sluga if he'd be up for doing a split EP on my label, he said yes, I had it pressed up, Lowriders head honcho Sim Commander linked me with Rubadub to sort distribution, and off I went. Then about a year later I released the first of the Tropical Heat compilation EPs, on which this particular tune was featured (you can nab a copy for as little as a single Pound now on Discogs). I still think it's one of the most gorgeous pieces of music I've had the honour of releasing.

13) Dudley Perkins – Momma

The first time I heard of Madlib was when him and MF Doom released their Madvillainy album back in 2004. I was instantly mesmerised by his dusty, gritty productions and soon developed a taste for anything Stones Throw related.

A couple years prior, the same mate who I'd initially started Myor with (Artek) had given me an album by the Mad Men for my birthday. It took me a minute to put two and two together and realise Dudley Perkins was the same person as Declaime, the producer responsible for the beats on the Mad Men album. I love that LP, but I love the Dudley Perkins album even more, probably because his not entirely in key singing goes so well with Madlib's phat and grubby productions. Also worth mentioning is the Jason Jägel artwork on the sleeve of the Washedbrainsyndrome EP this tune was featured on, hands down one of my all time favourite record covers.

14) Ssaliva – Yet Another Vase If I had to name one producer who's influenced my way of looking at, listening to and producing music, Ssaliva (aka Cupp Cave) would be my pick. Whether its hip hop beats, old school house, lo fi pop instrumentals or off kilter ambient abstractions, this guy knows how to lay down a vibe with the most minimal amount of ingredients. Pure class.

15) FFF – It Began In Man's Mind

Although FFF and I have known each other for close to 2 decades now, it wasn't until some 5 or so years ago that we became the good friends that we are now. We've collaborated on a fair few releases, played tons of shows together and spent many an hour digging through dusty crates of second hand records. He's one of very very few people that I trust with all my heart and hold in such high regard, both on a personal level as well as a producer and DJ. A walking, talking music encyclopaedia, hardcore to the bone, and strictly in it for the love of music.

I chose this tune not only because it's one of my favourites out of his immense discography, but also because I know it was the first track he produced after a rather rough period for him personally. When he sent me it, I knew literally within seconds that I wanted to sign it, and that feeling only grew stronger the more the tune progressed. It just keeps building and building, growing more intense with each bar.

16) Motëm – Can't Help It

Another one of my good homies, Dr. Doggenstein aka The Motulator and I first linked up via MySpace after being featured on a number of Skweee compilations together back in the late 2000s. We've maintained somewhat of a pen-pal relationship ever since, emailing each other at least once a week, often even more frequent. And even though he lives about halfway across the globe from me (in Hamilton, Canada) we see each other almost every year.

He's one of the most colourful characters amongst my friends, and is probably best described as the R. Stevie Moore of leftfield Hip Hop: a true king of DIY recording, with a YouTube channel (Gebbz Steelo) that boasts literally hundreds of music videos.

17) The Cure – Fire In Cairo

The Cure have been such a consistent element throughout my entire life, I couldn't NOT include a song of theirs. My earliest memories are linked to late nights in The Hague in the mid 80s, at birthday parties of one of my aunts, where my sister and I were the only kids in attendance. We were allowed to stay up way later than normal, pretty much everyone there was sporting big, fluffy hair and loads of black make up, smoking coloured cigarettes and listening to New Wave. Very exciting. It must've been around the time they released The Head On The Door or Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, but I went with this song off of their debut album Three Imaginary Boys instead, simply because it's my favourite, but also because it always reminds me of my mate Eelco shouting along “F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O.” well loud into my ears whilst driving his car on the way to an out of town skate session.

18) Ace The Space – Your Special Attraction

From about 1996 until 1998 I was more or less obsessed with anything PCP related. The amount of monikers used by Marc Acardipane is quite frankly ridiculous, let alone the number of releases he has to his name. His output consisted mostly of 4x4 hardcore and techno, with a couple of breakbeat workouts on White Breaks FFM. I still play loads of those tunes to this day, and even though this track is in no way anywhere near a good representation of his oeuvre, I've always been well keen on how it manages to combine Trip Hop and Rave in such a stylish manner.

19) Flying Lotus – First Friday Funk

Back to the wonky days of the late 2000s again. In my opinion, FlyLo and his contemporaries Dabrye, HudMo and to a certain extent Prefuse 73 were responsible for the birth of this type of electronic, mostly instrumental and often slightly out of sync hip hop.

I love pretty much all of what he released back then, and rinsed loads of his tunes. To the best of my knowledge, this track was never officially released, and made specifically as an interlude for Adult Swim. He had it up on his MySpace for a while, which is where I ripped the audio from. Well dodgy, but all the sounds are so chip tune-y that the poor quality is barely noticeable, or at least on a home stereo system. I don't think I ever really took the risk of actually playing this at a gig though.

20) The SD 1

I have absolutely zero information about this song, not about the artist nor what the actual track title is. All I know is that I downloaded it in 2005, from one of the many blogs specialising in digging up South East Asian obscurities. It could've been Monrakplengthai, as that's the one I visited most frequently back then, but I'm pretty sure it was a different one, though I have no idea anymore what it was called.

21) Danny De Munk – Ik Voel Me Zo Verdomd Alleen

The track title translates to “I feel so damn lonely”. It was the theme song to a Dutch movie from 1984 called “Ciske De Rat”, in which the singer of this song plays an 11 year old rascal in 1930s Amsterdam. He's constantly getting into trouble, gets kicked out of school, is blamed for the death of one of his friends and eventually ends up stabbing his mother in the neck and killing her, after which he's sent to boarding school.

At the time, this movie, as well as the song, left a rather deep impression on me. It basically scared me shitless. I didn't watch it again until somewhere last year, and even though it didn't scare me as much as it did back then, I was still kinda surprised at how gritty Dutch mainstream cinema was in the 1980s.

22) Neneh Cherry – Manchild

One of the first 7”s I bought from my own pocket money. Where her other big hit Buffalo Stance has a very uplifting party vibe (despite its lyrics also being quite serious, or at least by Pop standards) this one is 100% moody and somewhat sluggish even. I guess in hindsight it would more or less qualify as proto Trip Hop.

It wasn't until more than a decade later that I found out she'd already been performing as part of Rip, Rig & Panic since the early 80s and was the step daughter of Don Cherry. Much like Sade, to me she is another personification of cool, albeit with a more rough around the edges kind of vibe.

23) Bomb The Bass – Don't Make Me Wait

Another one of my first pocket money purchases. I remember seeing the music video on the telly, and being instantly taken by both the tune itself as well as the images of all these ultra cool cats singing, dancing, scratching and skating. The video even has a Keith Haring cameo, which only last about a split second, but still, how sick is that? I didn't remember the name of the tune or the artist though, and so a couple days later I found myself at the music section of the local department store together with my mum, trying to mimic the dance moves in the hopes of the store clerk being able to give me a track ID. I'm not sure anymore if it was him or another customer who was queueing behind us, but someone eventually knew which song I meant and I went home a happy kid that evening.

24) Moses – We Just

Hands down, 100% my longest sought after track ID. Yet another song I either saw on the telly or heard on the radio back in the 80s and tried to find out what it was by humming the melody to my mum and various other members of my family, to no avail. I even “sang” it to my mate FFF not that long ago, and though he knew exactly which tune I meant, he couldn't recall the name off the top of his head either. It took me literally 30+ years to track it down, despite it being a massive Pop hit. And I still can't fully grasp that it was actually one of my 18 year old skater buddies who, unknowingly, solved the mystery about a month ago, casually bumping it off his phone on a bluetooth speaker at the local skatepark. Thx Quincy.

25) Ill Suono – Angle Beat (Dabrye Remix) Somewhere in the mid 2000s, not too long before the Lowriders Collective was formed, one of its founding members, Sim Commander was working at a record shop called V2 in Rotterdam. I guess he'd spotted me buying some Prefuse 73 and Dublab related releases, so he handed me “Additional Productions Vol 1” by Dabrye. I was sold on the spot. The whole EP is straight fire, but it was (and still is) this rework of Angel Beat that got me all hyped up. It was just so different from anything I'd heard up until then, both sonically as well as the way the drums and vocal chops were programmed. It's like he creates an entire universe of its own in a mere three and a half minutes.

26) Zelia Barbosa – Zelao

I stopped buying records by just going off the artwork a long long time ago, seeing as my intuition had let me down a bit more often than I'd like to admit. A couple years ago though, whilst on vacation in Portugal with my then girlfriend, I decided to take a little €5,- chance again for the first time in ages at a random and very touristy second hand market just outside of Lisbon. It turned out to be one of the best 5 Euros I've ever spent. Front to back all killer no filler.

27) Eveson – Make Luv 2 Night

I don't often look up to people, and I rarely envy what others have or are capable of. Alex Eveson (aka Dead Man's Chest) is one of those rare producers though, where I can listen to his tunes, fully analyse what he's doing, and yet still don't understand why it all sounds so fucking good. I guess in a lot of ways he's similar to Ssaliva, in that he's able to lay down the vibiest of vibes with just a handful of elements. Except he does it with jungle and liquid D&B. Effortless style.]]> 5023751 no no Sun, 16 Aug 2020 10:03:36 +0200 2020-08-16T10:03:36+02:00 1:44:57 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0645-dusk-dubs-boca-45/

**Tracklisting**

THE BEATLES - “TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS”

Possibly the best ever record made in my opinion ? I recently read the Geoff Emerick autobiography & this was the 1st Beatles track he engineered & wanted to push the boat right out for them - I’m glad that he did !

MARLEY MARL “MARLEY MARL SCRATCH”

One of the 1st Hip Hop tracks I knew all of the words to. I heard it initially on Electro 8 which was one of the only ways you could find out about Hip Hop & Electro back then. I was lucky enough to record a track with one of Marleys proteges Craig G recently called “Turn It Up Loud” which was a BIG music life tick ..

DJ SHADOW “WHAT DOES YOUR SOUL LOOK LIKE PARTS 4 &5”

Could had been pretty much any track from Entroducing. It was and still is the bench mark for instrumental sample based music. It’s a Music Patch Work Quilt which keeps me warm in times of need ..

BEASTIE BOYS “JIMMY JAMES”

In my Top 5 favourite bands of all time. The 1st 5 LPs are all genius records to my ears. Watch the Beastie Boys Movie if you need some fast track schooling everything they did had style, quality control & finesse.

GIL SCOTT HERON & BRIAN JACKSON “IT’S YOUR WORLD”

Reminded of Gil whilst reading the Richard Russel book (XL Recordings) and this was a big favourite of mine to play out in the 90s. I tracked the LP down for about £40 all that time ago which hurt then but it was money well spent. The Words and the message to this song ring true to this day

BADLY DRAWN BOY “BODY RAP”

BDBs Bewiderbeast has a special space for for me as it was released shortly before my twin sons were born and my wife and I went to see him play live when she was heavily pregnant. This skit from the LP is a collaboration with Andy Votel who is a mad record digger and runs the Twisted Nerve & Finders Keepers labels out of Manchester.

PJ HARVEY “THE COMMUNITY OF HOPE”

Poly is a S/W girl and I pretty much Dig everything she’s ever done. She’s the ultimate artist. This album was part of an installation where you could watch the recording of the album through a one way window with headphones on. Genius.

GANG STARR “YOU KNOW MY STEEZ”

Again one of my favourite Hip Hop crews. Primo & Guru together were the BOMB. I could’ve chosen tons of tracks from G.S but chose this one as it reminded me of serving behind the counter at Purple Penguin Records in Bristol banging this import 12’’ out. We must had sold hundreds of these !

THE JB’S “GIVIN’ UP FOOD FOR FUNK”

The only funk tune on this mix so it had to be the ultimate funk band. So heavy!

EDAN “THE SCIENCE OF THE TWO”

I’m a bit of an Edan obsessive fan boy if the truth be told. Everything he touches is great. I just wish he’d record more of his own records. This track was lifted from his 2nd LP “Beauty & The Beat” on which he did everything the rhymes / production / the cover art he’s also a bad ass DJ.

THE AVALANCHES “LIGHT UP”

The Avalanches work perfectly for my music brain. I dug their 1st LP a lot when it came out in 2000 and intrigued to see what the follow up would be like abut it took 15 years or something to transpire. Personally I think Wildflower is better than the 1st record and you can’t say that very often where most acts have a 2nd album syndrome.

THE BEACH BOYS “GOD ONLY KNOWS”

Pet Sounds is a genius record. God Only Knows is taken from this album. If you don’t know it, do yourself a favour and listen to it. If I was a religious man I’d say it’s deeply spiritual whatever that is !!

MASSIVE ATTACK “LATELY”

Put simply if it wasn’t for M.A I wouldn’t do what I do now. I was totally inspired by them as a kid from Bristol starting out in this Music Hustle. They had it all. I’m now good mates with Grant but still love hearing the Old Wild Bunch Stories from him x

WU TANG CLAN “CREAM”

This mix / playlist is all about inspirations. Well RZA from 93 - 97 was DANGEROUS. Everything he touched was absolutely incredible. I tracked dow the sampler he used on all of his early productions. Man what a legend.

FONTAINES DC “LIBERTY BELLE”

Believe it or not I do listen to some music digitally !! I only have Apple Music and this LP was my most played from 2019. I also saw them at Glastonbury and though they were marvellous and randomly saw the lead singer in a back stage bar & drunklingly told them he’ll be up in the headliners in the next few years !!

MAX ROMEO “CHASE THE DEVIL”

People bang on about genius’s in music all of the time put that word definitely applies to the co writer & producer of this track Lee “Scratch” Perry. What more can be said about this man and his output ?!

STEVIE WONDER “TOO HIGH”

Whilst compiling this Stevie turned 70. What an absolute relief that this man is still with us when so many others have passed too early in recent years. Like most of the artists on this list there were too many S.W tracks I could had chosen but went with this one…

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST “OH MY GOD”

Q-Tip is if push came to shove my favourite MC of all time. It’s his tone / flow & not necessarily about the amount of words and how scientific his rhymes are it’s as much about what he isn’t doing to what he is doing .. He has that thing …

PORTISHEAD “NUMB REVENGE OF NUMBER”

Geoff Barrow is one of my best mates but I’m still a bit of a fan boy when it comes to P/Head. Around the 1st LP Geoff would do all of the remixes on their 12’’ releases (mostly because he didn’t trust anybody to do it!!) this is something I used to Kane in my DJ sets around 95 & still sounds FRESH.

QUASIMOTO “COME ON FEET REMIX”

Madlib is one of my favourite all time producers. The 1st Quaz record is a proper trip - in fact I think most of the LP was recorded when he was under there influence of Magic Mushrooms !!

MANFRED MANN “ONE WAY GLASS”

I think that this track was sampled by The Prodigy recently but I found out about this album from Andy Smith in the early 00’s when he found it diggin’ in a shop somewhere in Scotland the whole LP is incredible it took me a while to track a copy down but I got one eventually !

THE MIRETTES “TO LOVE SOMEBODY”

An absolute belting Soul version of of The Bee Gees 60s classic.

THE STONE ROSES “ELIZABETH MY DEAR”

The debut Stone Roses is a special record for me. It was at a time where my head was expanding from not just Hip Hop but other sounds from the 60s like The Beatles but this album had it all the songs, drums, production it has the lot !

DE LA SOUL “EN FOCUS”

All of the “Prince Paul” Produced De La LPS are amazing but “Buhloone Mindstate” is probably my favourite.

SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE “RUNNIN AWAY”

There’s a brilliant book by David Hepworth called “1971 Never A Dull Moment” which I read a last year and it’s basically a series of essays in which he argues that 1971 was the best year ever for LPs. Sly & The Family Stones “There’s a riot going on” was released in ’71 - D.H makes a good argument ..

PET SHIMMERS “TYSON”

Bristol is always pigeon holed asa. Drum & Bass / Trip Hop / Dubstep hot bed but there’s so much more if you scratch beyond the service. One of my favourite records in recent years is by this outfit. It’s main writer Oliver Wilde has been around for a while doing the solo rounds but his new out fit are a force of nature and come highly recommended by me !

BECK “WHERE ITS AT”

Without Prince Paul, Massive Attack or the producers of the album this record was lifted from (Odely) “The Dust Brothers” I’m not sure I’d make the type of music I make. The Dust Brothers also put together The Beastie Boys LP “Pauls Boutique”

Say No More XX

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite back Conrad Koziol to select for us.

"I’m very much the unassuming type in general so I never wanted to conclude that I’d get asked to do another Dusk Dubs selection but I damn well wanted to ask the question at times ha ha !

Needless to say I was over the moon when the topic came up, so much so that I got a bit carried away with how much music I submitted so this isn’t what was originally supplied. It’s all gooooood and here’s to you enjoying this selection just like I LOVED putting it together 😊

Keep on keepin’ on…" [[ Conrad ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) D'ran D'ran D'ran - Fifteen (Rockwell)
A bit of Dutch courage to get us going…

2) DJ Cam - Search 4 Love (Rhythmix)
Some French finesse from DJ Cam on remix duties here.

3) Cofaxx - Truu (nous)
White label release from a Greek label.

4) Dada Cantana - Canal (Fly High Society)
I’ve played this seven at a fair few parties and it always raises a few eyebrows as well as getting things moving on nicely.

5) Pal Joey presents Contrasts - I Sing feat. Melanie White (Danny Krivit re-edit) (Mother Tongue)
Sounds older than it is if you know what I mean. Class.

6) Brooklyn Underground feat. Ed The Red - Modern Technology) (Bottom Line)
Great grooves !

7) Dave Angel - D.o.b. (Blunted)
I’m a huge fan of Dave Angel and this album in particular.

8) Marcus Enochson & E-Man - I Am The Road (MAW mix) (MAW Records)
This turned up in a bargain pile at a record fare fairly recently ; something I’d been after for years.

9) Mel - Just A Little One (Drenched Recordings)
…trying to add some tunes which often get overlooked.

10) Vil-N-X - I Lust For You (Euro-Stra-Mental Mix) (Island Noyze Records)

11) Paradise Forum - Last Night (Bouncin')
Bootleg version of ‘Whatever’ by Jill Scott.

12) DNote - Lost & Found (Extended Original Mix) (VC Recordings)
Very infectious piece ; my daughter Willow was a big fan of this when I was putting this together.

13) Dubbyman - Loveless (Before It's Too Late Mix) (Yore Records)
I would normally play the other version of this but this seemed to fit the mood.

14) DJ Krush feat. Zap Mama - Danger Of Love (Columbia)
Note to self ; more DJ Krush vinyl needed !

15) Jazzanova feat. Vikter Duplaix - Wasted Time (Jazzanova Compost Records)
Pure class.

16) Terry Brookes - Breaking Cycles (Deepart) (React - Carl Craig The Workout comp)
Taken from the Carl Craig ‘The Workout’ comp rather than an original pressing.

17) 2Day & 2Moro - Disney On Acid (Omniverse)
Brilliant seven on Omniverse.

18) Money Mark - Cry (Mo Wax)

19) Mousse T feat. Inaya Day - By Myself (Paskal & Urban Absolutes Remix) (Peppermint Jam)
Pretty cool run of twelves on Peppermint Jam.

20) Roland Clark - Sunshine (Ron Trent Remix Vocal) (Need2Soul)
Heavenly.

21) Nature Boy - On Fire (Piano Version) (Nature Boy)
Recent issue of some of Crispin J. Glover’s unreleased beats from the early ‘90s. Healthy pressing too.

22) YMC - Meltdown (Nepenta)

23) Incognito - Marrakech (Spacek Remix)
Lovely version. Huge vibe !

24) Ackie - Call Me Rambo (Heavyweight)
Say no more. HUGE.

25) Slum Village - World Full Of Sadness (Slum Village)
Couldn’t not have some Dilla on here.

26) Soylent Green - After All (Playhouse)
This track seems to have many fans and it’s easy to see why.]]>

"So at this strange period in time I finally got round to this, my long overdue Dusk Dubs selection!

Hope everyone is keeping safe!

We start off in the 70’s & early 80’s as a kid, with some electro vibes, them travelling on through the late 80’s & 90’s and into the 2000’s and beyond!

This was actually a really hard task, so ended up picking tracks from different periods of my life, as a young (but terrible) breakdancer, to indie/rave kid in the late 80’s/90’s to my techno and drum and bass phases…and some nice funk, soul and hip hop vibes that sparked some good memories as I was digging!

Hope you dig it! Steve (Mr Bird)

This week we invite Cuelock to the Dusk Dubs family.

To start off, I would like to give a massive shout to Dusk Dubs for letting me take part in this project, They have been bugging me to get this mix finished for a while now and it has been very hard for me to choose my influences and what type of styles of music I would like to showcase for the radio show. When you have so much music to choose from you can lose yourself a bit. So, each individual track has a bit of history in my life and how I became the person I am today.

If there was one person in my life who inspired me to like music it is my dad. He would get out the 45’s and give them a spin, I always remember him playing yellow submarine, me and my sister would find this song hilarious! He would also play The Christians by the christians. The track that caught my attention on the album was “forgotten town” which I have included in my show! They crafted soulful harmonies and polished instrumentals and less reliance on the old ‘80’s synthesiser-sound that was popular and much-used back then.

**Tracklisting **

1) Leftfield - Afrika Shox - One of my all time favourites here, who doesn’t know about this album. Afrika Shox definitely my favourite on the album, twisted dark side beats with a roaring voice over stamps a hard edge block on your head straight from Afrika Bambaataa.

2) The Acid – Veda - This was released in 2014, a track I heard on the radio while driving! I found this piece of music reminded me of the early 90’s, I'm not sure why, I suppose like any music you listen to can remind you of someone or something in your life! They haven’t been around that long, but they have definitely stamped the Acid name into electronic music.

3) Lemon jelly - Tensions. Ready? - What great musicians these guys are, releasing ‘the bath’ ep back in 1998, It was limited to 1,000 10" copies, the first 200 of which featured hand screen-printed sleeves! I'm a proud owner of a copy, please go check them out. Tension is a downtempo, trip hop flex, gets you thinking about having an alcoholic drink in the sunshine.

4) Mary j Blige - All Night Long - A track from her album My Life, my sister would play every morning before school, yes, she would rudely awaken me with this! The rest is history.

5) Hall & Oates - Sara Smile - Definitely a Sunday song here, one of my dad's favourites, hearing my dad play this clearly resembles a like for like in both our taste in music.

6) The Christians - Forgotten Town - Taking me well back in the late 80’s this one, total classic in my books, another outstanding act with crafted soulful harmonies, also another influence by my dad.

7) Genesis - Duke's Travels Duke's End - I was travelling to south of France in the mid 90’s with a friend from school and his parents would play Genesis albums all the way to the campsite to where we would pitch up for 2 weeks in the summer holiday, listening to this all the way to France was so inspiring and relaxing at the same time. This particular track plays around the 9 minute mark and the way it breaks down into a imaginary story is totally mind blowing,

8) El-Tuff Project - Midnight Jazz - We all have love for a garage track in our life! We had some great nights out at garage nation and 4 by 4 with my friends and this track just reminds me of them steaming nights in Enfield.

9) Rick James - Mary Jane - Such a wonderful piece here, showcased in the film Friday written by ice cube and directed by F Gary Grey - A film myself and my friends adore very much, this soundtrack stands out from the rest, only because we were probably smoking weed at the time. Great memories

10) John Peel Show - Technical Itch - Critical Switch - A show loved by many, what an absolute legend john peel is, Having such freedom to play whatever you like, After hearing this being played on his show I was hooked! The man Technical itch was on my list, I think it was a track called the Virus on moving shadow that also caught my attention and a new sound in drum & bass, very much like a Dom & Roland sound. Amen.

11) Martyn - Vancouver - A Sub Duppy sound from the Netherlands producer! A track that i wished i have written and produced, The sub bass is so immense, such a stepper. You can hear the influence of Detroit techno, trippy synths and just a crazy overall dynamic track.

12) John Martyn - Couldn't Love You More – I’m not quite sure where I first heard this, but I like it very much!

13) Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar (Armand's Dark Garage Mix) - Ha Ha, Tenerife, one of my first ever holidays, cut a long story short. When myself and my friend would go out down the strip to get totally hammered as you do, there was a small club with the worst DJ you could imagine, no, really he was awful. So one evening I asked if I could have ago at mixing some tracks, I flicked through the record bag and saw Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar, I think it was teardrops playing at the time, so I mixed this into Teardrops! Need I say anymore, I should have become resident! True story - 1998 - I won’t tell you what happened the rest of the holiday, let’s just say HOSPITAL and Perno Black !!

14) The Pointer Sisters - Automatic - Classic soul, R&B, Funk - Take a listen and you decide, memories from the 80’s

15) Universal - Groove Therapy - This is taken from Points In Time LP 004 on Good Looking Records, with a massive good looking collection I didn’t want to be too obvious in what I wanted to play on the show, Epic flawless production with superb lead samples.

16) LTJ Bukem - Journey Inwards - Spirit of jazz and modern intelligent Jungle / Drum 'n' Bass, and what journey it was, Danny definitely a beat maestro also showing how good he is at drum programming. One of my very first inspirations in Drum & Bass.

17) Frances Ashman - Pandora - I haven’t really heard much of Frances Ashman, in fact, I never heard of her at all until I watch Nil By Mouth. She is a British R&B vocalist & actress, she is also a member of the Egg Group. But what a song, it has a sad emptiness and happiness at the same time, maybe that’s how it comes across is the movie Nil By Mouth.

18) Lucy In Disguise - Echoes In Time - This was released in 2017 but to me feels like it was published in the 80’s - Great Electronic music, take a listen, Lucy in Disguise.

19) Timecop 1983 - Drifting Away - Another current release that takes you back to the early to mid 90’s - Synthesis at its best, smooth pads! I think I found this while listening to other music on You Tube. The track glides through a shifting soundscape with immaculate synth tones and graceful melodies.

20) Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun - Ibiza Memories with this one, quite flawless, and brings back some good times spent in Ibiza.

21) AKIRA soundtrack - Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Kaneda - I want to dedicate this one to my mum. It was around 1994 / 95 I was watching Mad Max with my mum around 12am on a Saturday morning, half way through my mum fell asleep, so I stayed up and finished watching the movie until the very end. After Mad Max I stayed up and watched a film called Akira, Not knowing anything about manga films, I thought it was superb and thought it was the strangest movie I have ever watched, the animation was extraordinary and this masterpiece reminds me of that very night, it's strange what you can remember when you were younger. ]]>

After Mad Max I stayed up and watched a film called Akira, Not knowing anything about manga films, I thought it was superb and thought it was the strangest movie I have ever watched, the animation was extraordinary and this masterpiece reminds me of that very night, it's strange what you can remember when you were younger. ]]> 4960227 no no Sun, 19 Jul 2020 10:03:49 +0200 2020-07-19T10:03:49+02:00 1:45:28 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0641-dusk-dubs-clarkee/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Clarkee to the Dusk Dubs family

DJ Clarkee started buying dance music in 1987 and began DJing in 1989. Originally one of the founder members and resident DJ's of the legendary ESP and Equinox at Milwaukees, throughout the 90s he went on to play at many of the biggest and best raves in the country including Raindance, Weekend World, HEAD, Diehard, Total Kaos, Club Kinetic and of course the Dreamscape and Helter Skelter raves at the Sanctuary. His Area51 label, started in 1994, put out hardcore and gabber as well as hard techno and acid releases through the nineties, leading to him being an in-demand DJ across Europe and playing Australia and the USA many times. Now residing in Spain, he still writes many forms of underground dance music and is still in demand for both new forms and oldskool sets.

**Tracklisting **

1) Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (1977)

Probably my earliest music memory, I’m always reminds me of Sunday mornings with the waft of Sunday dinner cooking, in the evenings I remember trying to DJ on a cassette deck. Never got me into Formula one though !

2) Madness - One Step Beyond (1980)

One big influence on a lot of my early tastes was holiday with my Aunty and Uncle and cousins. Neil the eldest cousin [still a year younger than me] always had good taste in music and fashion and was 'ahead of the curve'.

He was always listening to Ska so I’m thinking that’s where i heard them first [along with the selector and Specials. School disco classic, this one. Normally ended up in a dance off with the Dexies gang.

3) 2 Sisters - B Boys Beware (1983)

And then we discovered electro! Our crew never really got that good, but we had the tracksuits and even carried a piece of lino at one point. This track just sticks in my mind.

4) Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road (Thunder Road (Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London '75) (1975)

And that’s how my musical brain worked in the eighties. After another couple of holidays I was introduced to Bruce by my Aunty [RIP Aunty Sue x] and uncle. Devout fans we even sought out the bootlegs sets that he was famous for.

They even allowed me to tag along to Wembley stadium the following year. Bruces early albums are superb cinematic portraits of working town America, something that I later got to see some of whilst DJing there.

5) Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious Five - Step Off (1984)

With electro dance and rock ringing in my ears, i stumbled onto Hip Hop and this was the first 12" I bought. I loved the sampling creativity of early hip hop with the advent of samplers 'ANYTHING' was possible.

6) Smiley Culture - Police Officer (1984)

Another early 12" which showed me another avenue of 'urban' music. Maybe the ska influences got me. Come to think of it i still love the very early Bob Marley stuff.

7) Depeche Mode - Leave In silence (1985)

What’s this? Electronic Rock pop, where will it end!! I was hooked on the synth sounds by then and although I was never a big 'New Romantic' fan I liked the sounds on some of the stuff.

8) Darryl Pandy - Love Cant Turn Around (1986)

Cinderellas Rockerfellas. Northampton. We had been dancing to soul, r+b and commercial dance when this guy did a live PA. This new form of electronic dance grabbed me and planted a seed to what i wanted to listen to, the value of friendship and the finding my way as a young adult.

9) Frankie Knuckles - Your Love (1989)

Boom, I discovered the raves cene and acid house. New friendships, new places to go clubbing, 3 Holidays in Tenerife, I had arrived, and found myself. This is probably my all-time favourite song. Every time i hear it I miss lost friends, it fires incredible early clubbing memories and just makes me appreciate the friends I still have from those days and the CRAZY times we all had [and still do...well sometimes as long as it’s finished by 1am.....he he

10) Joey Beltram - Energy Flash (1990)

Around this time in a club in Coventry, dancing my pants off. I hear this monster techno track. I knew I wanted to DJ and be a part of this thing on a pro level. DJ Clarkee was born and along with my record collection started DJing regularly at clubs and raves.

11) Technohead - I Wanna Be A Hippy (Original Hardcore Edit)- Mokum records (1995)

Jeez who have thought this would end in full circle me, the wannabe, different, energetic punk rocker, but tree hugging skinhead hippie. As I got more into DJing and techno music, my sets got harder and the Dutch sound of the nineties boomed through, it’s what I was known for, jeez I even started a record label [Area 51 Recordings] which had a lot of releases on vinyl and who I ran with long time pal Steve Melville. I now make and play less energetic stuff generally [unless I’m asked to dig the crates out and fly back to the uk] but if me and the kids ever fancy a jump about then this is the one we choose. Then I’ll have a sit down and a cup of tea!! xx I’m sure you’ve probably turned the track off by now...or have you? hahaha

Wow a free counselling session during lockdown! I AM CLEANSED!

But thats what we got to and that where we will end it...for now. This is dedicated to my wife Ava, kids Mags and Jen and ALL my family and friends around the world. i love you all.

Peace.... Clarkee ]]>

This week we invite Mark Fozbee to the Dusk Dubs family.

"Having been asked to submit a playlist by Dusk Dubs I must say I don't feel worthy of such an invitation having contributed a tiny speck of dust to the universe of music.

Some may know me from a small set of vinyl releases that span 1989 thru to 1998 in small amounts always self funded under various names such as Dik Fozbee, Fozbee And Cooz , The Matchstick Man, Fozbee and Bigdrum and D & G, also in varied styles as my personal taste in music and the various scenes came and went. I'm not sure how many songs I was supposed to select and it is hard choosing from some many great tunes, its a little like choosing your favourite child....if you have more then one that is.

Having been born an early 70s kid I personally think I have lived thru some of the best decades of music with such massive changes in styles.

Early 80s I was regular kid into madness and the specials I was tempted to add one from that period ... night boat to cairo being a song I still love and was a point I found music and a taste for what I liked. Prior to that my first vinyl single from woolworths was Joe dolce – Shut uppa ya face....i term I hear said to me a lot.

It was a great time in films and music. Going to the shop on a Saturday nite to select a few VHS tapes of the latest movies to watch at home on our new fan-dangled video cassette player. I would go with my dad and pick out all kinds Terminator...Weird Science....etc.. Rocky was one film I recall and the place I heard this tune that I have first on the list, a song I even had at my wedding day in the registry office. So it is a song I consider to have a strong vibe with its just a background song in one of the scenes in Rocky, but I loved it and is a song that you can just chillout to. " [[ Mark Fozbee ]]

**Tracklistng**

1) Kool And The Gang - Summer Madness

Having an older brother he was like a trend setter for me and he was being influenced by the trends of electro music -breakdance era and he started buying lots of vinyl as he had just brought a mobile Dj type set of decks and was very much into his music. I was still at school near leaving I played organ which was not cool music but I just enjoyed learning music and really appreciate what my dad did to fund the weekly lessons.

2) Tyron Brunson – The Smurf
3) Herbie Hancock - Rockit
4) Mann parish - Hip Hop, Be Bop (Don't Stop)
5) Grandmaster Flash - White Lines

Whilst I was knocking out the Star Wars theme on the keyboard my brother was playing Street Sounds albums he had a good collection of them and other great music. I was very much drawn into it and the next few I chose are songs I love, that give me fond memories. Tunes I think sound just as great now as they did.

As I was leaving school and starting work my brother had started doing pirate radio and had got some SL1210s he was very much a soul and funk DJ and I used to go along and was getting more into music, and started buying vinyl my self from the weekly wages I was getting. Almost all went on vinyl at time Hip-Hop was my thing as well as what my brother liked. I had access to his collection and decks, as I was allowed, as I was buying and growing the music we owned. From 87 thru 88 I bought probably a thousand pounds worth of Hip-Hop with the odd soul song...and early house music.

6) Marvin Gaye - I Want You
7) Marvin Gaye -T Plays It Cool

Marvin gaye was someone I very much liked after seeing a documentry on TV with him doing a live performance of the song 'I Want You'. I have been a fan since. The other track from him here, is one my brother played a lot on his radio shows and the early acid lead synth sounds are probably the earliest I head anything like the acid sounds that came later...

I was messing around with the keyboard I had and I got a really bad casio DD10 drum machine and a fostex 4 track tape machine trying to make my own music....i'm pretty much certain the tapes dont exist now the efforts even had me rapping which I can say is something I'm glad no longer exists. House music was getting more of a look from me.

8) Marshal Jefferson - Move Your Body
9) Steve Silk Hurley - Jack Your body

I was still into Hip-Hop, it must have been mid 87 I started to like house music that started to be around, like Marshall Jefferson and Adonis 'The Poke' and 'No Way Back'.

10) Adonis - The Poke
11) Adonis - No Way Back
12) Phuture - Acid tracks

It was a rare thing to make music but we was mixing with other DJs playing on pirates, and we all wanted to do what we was hearing from Chicago and started to see things like the Atari ST running Cubase, that made it possible to make music with a few pieces of equipment.

About mid 1988 I got myself a 3k bank loan.

I had to get my dad to come to my meeting at the bank on request of the manager. Those were the days they didn't throw money at you easy - you had to see the bank manager and present how you thought you would be able to pay it back etc. I got the money drew out the cash and with help from my brother and his mate we went to London and brought a load of studio stuff. Akai S950 being the main thing along with an Amiga, Roland D5, DX100 and few other things I added till I had spent 3k.

13) Dik fozbee – Feeling The Rhythm

The next song I choose is the result of that equipment and many months of learning it. In 1989 me and my brother made a 7 track ep album called Dik Fozbee, think my brother sold stuff for his half of the money. It means a lot to me this first vinyl release was only 500 copies and no one knows it really and thats cool. Its a good memory to me and my brother. It was a proud achievement

14) Fingers Inc. - Can You Feel It (Chuck Roberts Mix)

I got more into the house and acid scene. A producer and song that has always been a song I can listen to on repeat and never get bored of is Larry heard's 'Can You Feel It'. I know he nicked the chuck roberts part for his track from Rhythm Control which is a great song and more then worthy of my list. The Larry Heard version just really resonates with me.

As time progressed the house music scene became massive... 1989 was an amazing time. I always loved the more melodic music and there are tons of tunes from this time I would have here. Kariya , Dione , Richie rich, Frankie Bones, and Frankie knuckles... but one that really sticks with me has to be the Nightwriters 'Let The Music (Use You)'.

15) Nightwriters - Let The Music (Use You)
16) Fast Eddie - Acid Thunder

In late 1988, me and my brother met a singer and made some demos in a studio that was engineered by that guy who later made the tune Made In 2 Minutes )...we did some rap stuff and house with rap. We made a tune called 'Heat Of Passion', it has a chord structure using a warmpad exactly like the next song which was spooky hearing this track a year later. Our attempts at time was to get some interest which was'nt to be. Eventually money runs out when paying for studio time and enthusiasm.

Having them on reel to reel and not ever trying to get them on any other form they are lost to time unless my brother has them on cassette. Reel to Reel tapes don't age well and we found out recent they are impossible to recover from now.

17) A Guy Called Gerald - Emotion Electric

I'm probably out of sync when these tunes come along to me things started to really change direction the music went on a big journey as more people like myself was experimenting with the samplers and stuff we had in our bedrooms. As we looked for inspiration from what we liked and looked to our record collections hip hop music became a good source for beats to mess with and old soul accapellas etc. I sampled but never wanted to just steal blatantly but to be honest at time none of us considered it anything as we was taking things and creating something new.

18) Fozbee And Cooz - Free Your Mind

The next track is mine and my brothers best effort of music making again not known by that many people maybe better known for the multiple tracks that sampled it. Regards it being on my list it is something im proud of....but I really dont listen to it ever.
Around 1991 when we did free your mind music was going in new directions and this next tune is probably the one tune that I really loved then and now as it was amazing and part of the direction change music was heading for me.

19) Lenny D Ice - We R Ie”

I did a few releases during this time from 92 thru 93 and was making tracks that got faster and darker but I never really had the money or enthusiasm to release more then the few I did. I like most, went raving a ton most weekends. I missed the train called 'USE the amen break', I remember people saying use amen etc....more fool me I thought it was better to not use it and try and be creative.

Raves started having chillout rooms which became a draw for me and even though the next track was released earlier in 92 I think it only came into my radar from spending more time in the chillout areas that was playing deep house /garage... I was hooked... must have been late 94.

20) Ralphi Rosario – Instrumental Need

It still sounds fresh now to me. That track and the stuff in the chillouts shifted me to deep house and garage which some years later became what was in the main room in the shape of UK garage. A massive tune of the Uk garage scene for me was grant nelsons 24 hour experience – together its probably considered so by others too got to be in the top 5 easy.

21) 24 Hour Experience – Together

My equipment getting dusty in my mum and dads loft during the years 94 thru 96, but I started buying vinyl more, and was surfing the UK garage music waves. Doing some Djing had sl1210s set up. My brother mentioned a underground shop in Stevenage and that's where I met Geoff Bigdrum and started making some UKG at a studio we set up.

22) Kerri Chandler – Keep Me Inside

Kerri Chandler is someone I love as a producer pretty much every one of his tracks is quality. So could be any of his tunes next but I went for 'Keep Me Inside' which in the current times fits pretty well.

Think I have waffled on a lot so would like to say hope you enjoyed the list and journey of some tracks I have a fond connection too. Last track is from someone that was lead singer on one of house musics biggest songs but this is a track he did under his name and a track I love.

23) Paris Brightledge – Learn To Love

All the best.]]>

This week we invite Mark Fozbee to the Dusk Dubs family.

"Having been asked to submit a playlist by Dusk Dubs I must say I don't feel worthy of such an invitation having contributed a tiny speck of dust to the universe of music.

Some may know me from a small set of vinyl releases that span 1989 thru to 1998 in small amounts always self funded under various names such as Dik Fozbee, Fozbee And Cooz , The Matchstick Man, Fozbee and Bigdrum and D & G, also in varied styles as my personal taste in music and the various scenes came and went. I'm not sure how many songs I was supposed to select and it is hard choosing from some many great tunes, its a little like choosing your favourite child....if you have more then one that is.

Having been born an early 70s kid I personally think I have lived thru some of the best decades of music with such massive changes in styles.

Early 80s I was regular kid into madness and the specials I was tempted to add one from that period ... night boat to cairo being a song I still love and was a point I found music and a taste for what I liked. Prior to that my first vinyl single from woolworths was Joe dolce – Shut uppa ya face....i term I hear said to me a lot.

It was a great time in films and music. Going to the shop on a Saturday nite to select a few VHS tapes of the latest movies to watch at home on our new fan-dangled video cassette player. I would go with my dad and pick out all kinds Terminator...Weird Science....etc.. Rocky was one film I recall and the place I heard this tune that I have first on the list, a song I even had at my wedding day in the registry office. So it is a song I consider to have a strong vibe with its just a background song in one of the scenes in Rocky, but I loved it and is a song that you can just chillout to. " [[ Mark Fozbee ]]

**Tracklistng**

1) Kool And The Gang - Summer Madness

Having an older brother he was like a trend setter for me and he was being influenced by the trends of electro music -breakdance era and he started buying lots of vinyl as he had just brought a mobile Dj type set of decks and was very much into his music. I was still at school near leaving I played organ which was not cool music but I just enjoyed learning music and really appreciate what my dad did to fund the weekly lessons.

2) Tyron Brunson – The Smurf
3) Herbie Hancock - Rockit
4) Mann parish - Hip Hop, Be Bop (Don't Stop)
5) Grandmaster Flash - White Lines

Whilst I was knocking out the Star Wars theme on the keyboard my brother was playing Street Sounds albums he had a good collection of them and other great music. I was very much drawn into it and the next few I chose are songs I love, that give me fond memories. Tunes I think sound just as great now as they did.

As I was leaving school and starting work my brother had started doing pirate radio and had got some SL1210s he was very much a soul and funk DJ and I used to go along and was getting more into music, and started buying vinyl my self from the weekly wages I was getting. Almost all went on vinyl at time Hip-Hop was my thing as well as what my brother liked. I had access to his collection and decks, as I was allowed, as I was buying and growing the music we owned. From 87 thru 88 I bought probably a thousand pounds worth of Hip-Hop with the odd soul song...and early house music.

6) Marvin Gaye - I Want You
7) Marvin Gaye -T Plays It Cool

Marvin gaye was someone I very much liked after seeing a documentry on TV with him doing a live performance of the song 'I Want You'. I have been a fan since. The other track from him here, is one my brother played a lot on his radio shows and the early acid lead synth sounds are probably the earliest I head anything like the acid sounds that came later...

I was messing around with the keyboard I had and I got a really bad casio DD10 drum machine and a fostex 4 track tape machine trying to make my own music....i'm pretty much certain the tapes dont exist now the efforts even had me rapping which I can say is something I'm glad no longer exists. House music was getting more of a look from me.

8) Marshal Jefferson - Move Your Body
9) Steve Silk Hurley - Jack Your body

I was still into Hip-Hop, it must have been mid 87 I started to like house music that started to be around, like Marshall Jefferson and Adonis 'The Poke' and 'No Way Back'.

10) Adonis - The Poke
11) Adonis - No Way Back
12) Phuture - Acid tracks

It was a rare thing to make music but we was mixing with other DJs playing on pirates, and we all wanted to do what we was hearing from Chicago and started to see things like the Atari ST running Cubase, that made it possible to make music with a few pieces of equipment.

About mid 1988 I got myself a 3k bank loan.

I had to get my dad to come to my meeting at the bank on request of the manager. Those were the days they didn't throw money at you easy - you had to see the bank manager and present how you thought you would be able to pay it back etc. I got the money drew out the cash and with help from my brother and his mate we went to London and brought a load of studio stuff. Akai S950 being the main thing along with an Amiga, Roland D5, DX100 and few other things I added till I had spent 3k.

13) Dik fozbee – Feeling The Rhythm

The next song I choose is the result of that equipment and many months of learning it. In 1989 me and my brother made a 7 track ep album called Dik Fozbee, think my brother sold stuff for his half of the money. It means a lot to me this first vinyl release was only 500 copies and no one knows it really and thats cool. Its a good memory to me and my brother. It was a proud achievement

14) Fingers Inc. - Can You Feel It (Chuck Roberts Mix)

I got more into the house and acid scene. A producer and song that has always been a song I can listen to on repeat and never get bored of is Larry heard's 'Can You Feel It'. I know he nicked the chuck roberts part for his track from Rhythm Control which is a great song and more then worthy of my list. The Larry Heard version just really resonates with me.

As time progressed the house music scene became massive... 1989 was an amazing time. I always loved the more melodic music and there are tons of tunes from this time I would have here. Kariya , Dione , Richie rich, Frankie Bones, and Frankie knuckles... but one that really sticks with me has to be the Nightwriters 'Let The Music (Use You)'.

15) Nightwriters - Let The Music (Use You)
16) Fast Eddie - Acid Thunder

In late 1988, me and my brother met a singer and made some demos in a studio that was engineered by that guy who later made the tune Made In 2 Minutes )...we did some rap stuff and house with rap. We made a tune called 'Heat Of Passion', it has a chord structure using a warmpad exactly like the next song which was spooky hearing this track a year later. Our attempts at time was to get some interest which was'nt to be. Eventually money runs out when paying for studio time and enthusiasm.

Having them on reel to reel and not ever trying to get them on any other form they are lost to time unless my brother has them on cassette. Reel to Reel tapes don't age well and we found out recent they are impossible to recover from now.

17) A Guy Called Gerald - Emotion Electric

I'm probably out of sync when these tunes come along to me things started to really change direction the music went on a big journey as more people like myself was experimenting with the samplers and stuff we had in our bedrooms. As we looked for inspiration from what we liked and looked to our record collections hip hop music became a good source for beats to mess with and old soul accapellas etc. I sampled but never wanted to just steal blatantly but to be honest at time none of us considered it anything as we was taking things and creating something new.

18) Fozbee And Cooz - Free Your Mind

The next track is mine and my brothers best effort of music making again not known by that many people maybe better known for the multiple tracks that sampled it. Regards it being on my list it is something im proud of....but I really dont listen to it ever.
Around 1991 when we did free your mind music was going in new directions and this next tune is probably the one tune that I really loved then and now as it was amazing and part of the direction change music was heading for me.

19) Lenny D Ice - We R Ie”

I did a few releases during this time from 92 thru 93 and was making tracks that got faster and darker but I never really had the money or enthusiasm to release more then the few I did. I like most, went raving a ton most weekends. I missed the train called 'USE the amen break', I remember people saying use amen etc....more fool me I thought it was better to not use it and try and be creative.

Raves started having chillout rooms which became a draw for me and even though the next track was released earlier in 92 I think it only came into my radar from spending more time in the chillout areas that was playing deep house /garage... I was hooked... must have been late 94.

20) Ralphi Rosario – Instrumental Need

It still sounds fresh now to me. That track and the stuff in the chillouts shifted me to deep house and garage which some years later became what was in the main room in the shape of UK garage. A massive tune of the Uk garage scene for me was grant nelsons 24 hour experience – together its probably considered so by others too got to be in the top 5 easy.

21) 24 Hour Experience – Together

My equipment getting dusty in my mum and dads loft during the years 94 thru 96, but I started buying vinyl more, and was surfing the UK garage music waves. Doing some Djing had sl1210s set up. My brother mentioned a underground shop in Stevenage and that's where I met Geoff Bigdrum and started making some UKG at a studio we set up.

22) Kerri Chandler – Keep Me Inside

Kerri Chandler is someone I love as a producer pretty much every one of his tracks is quality. So could be any of his tunes next but I went for 'Keep Me Inside' which in the current times fits pretty well.

Think I have waffled on a lot so would like to say hope you enjoyed the list and journey of some tracks I have a fond connection too. Last track is from someone that was lead singer on one of house musics biggest songs but this is a track he did under his name and a track I love.

23) Paris Brightledge – Learn To Love

All the best.]]> 4896790 no no Sun, 28 Jun 2020 09:36:20 +0200 2020-06-28T09:36:20+02:00 2:15:38 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0638-dusk-dubs-regis22/

"I’m a collector & Seller of rare vinyl and occasional DJ, Cut my teeth via the house /rave scene in 1988-91 as I was leaving school in Luton, I praise the lord I was old enough to go out and buy records at this time as it was a pivotal period in the history of electronic music, Not many records from that period are left for me to buy anymore so for the last 20 years or so been dipping in to all manor of styles, Jazz, Hip hop, Deep house, Ambient, Afrobeat, Funk & Soul, " [[ Regis 22 ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Massive Attack - Any Love
Their Seminal first tune , Paved the way for Blue Lines and Beyond

2) Ray Barreto - Pastime Paradise
Countless Stevie tunes to pick from, But this cover from Latin maestro Ray Barreto is irresistible.

3) Freestyle - Dont Stop the Rock
I was 11 years old and too busy listening to Thompson Twins and Paul Hardcastle (19) when this came out but it’s my favourite electro tune of all time.

4) The Police - When the World is running Down (Mr K edit)
The Police have made some great music and this is my favourite, even in spite of Sting ever since, Reminds me of TOTP circa 1980.

5) Mystic Harmony - Night Over Egypt
Great Mellow Lovers rock revision of this classic Jazz Funk cut.

6) Bjork - I Miss You (Dobie Mix)
Can generally take or leave Bjork but this a great remix and Rodney P even pops up.

7) Horace Andy - I'm Alright
Horace has the one of the best voices in the game, I discovered this via an old 1991 breakbeat tune that sampled this .

8) Mystic I - Perilous Time
This was a holy grail amongst my Reggae collector friends Dean & Nige (R.I.P) First heard on Kiss FM Manassah tape from 1993, took a good few years to track it down.

9) Midlake - Roscoe (Beyond The Wizards Sleeve Mix)
Epic (in the proper sense) remix of this track from the folk rockers from Texas.

10) Rapheal Saadiq - Skys The Limit (Yam Who Remix)
This was going to be our wedding song but we changed it at the last minute to Bill Withers "Lovely Day", regretted it ever since (not the wedding) sublime remix.

11) Babe Ruth - The Mexican (Fantastic Mr Fox Edit)
Like most collectors of a certain age , I discovered old stuff via samples in House/HipHop, The classic "Dream of Santa Anna" by Orange Lemon (Todd Terry) It was a toss up between that and this original edited version.

12) Tranquility Base - Cantamilla
Heard this first on at a beach club in Koh Samui in 1995, Took me over 5 years to find out what is was, never far from my turntable since.

13) Bomb The Bass - Bug Powder Dust (La Funk Mob Mix)
Reminds me of Great times in London circa 1994-98 , The Blue Note, 333 Club and the like.

14) Rhythm is Rhythim - The Dance
Quite possibly the first underground dance 12” I bought, can’t exactly remember. Regardess it set the standard and is my favourite techno tune of all time, Big Jive FM tune in Luton.

15) Sha'lor - I'm in love
Another timeless tune that sends me back to being 14-15 and discovering this amazing alien sounding music.

16) Paul Rutherford - Get Real,
See above comments, I recall playing this tune on a crappy ALBA mini system with the curtains shut on repeat.

17) FSOL - Cascade
Not your standard classic Ibiza tune but reminds me of my first trip there in 1993. Intelligent emotional breakbeat

18) Bug Khan - Made In Two Minutes (Original Mix)
19) Language - Renegade
20) Shut Up And Dance - Derek Went Mad (Original Mix )

These 3 tunes are all Luton Pressure Fm classics, Cained by Dj Swan.E in 1991 and my favourite year of music ever. Impossible to pick 3 but this is a good start.

21) Dimension - Phenomena
Amazing and rare proto intelligent D&B.

22) Peshay - Piano Tune
Don’t own many D&B tunes any more but this is the pick of the bunch, Absolute classic. ]]>

"First and foremost I would like to begin by thanking Dusk Dubs for this amazing opportunity. Highly Honoured.

As a young working class Scottish girl growing up in the West Coast of Scotland in the 70s, I was heavily influenced with the Motown sound. Artists like The Four Tops, Gladys Knight, The Temptations and The Commodores to name a few. Melodic bass-guitar lines, forward thinking drum patterns, sophisticated melodies and a deep rooted influence from Gospel. I had no idea back then what all that meant, but I remember how it made me FEEL and thats exactly what all this about right?

The tracks I’ve chosen in this mixtape not only reflect my taste in music, but my journey over the last 31 years from the tender age of 18. It was challenging narrowing them down, so to help, I decided to select the tracks that have had the biggest impact on me.

I hope you enjoy." [[ Baronna ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Longsy D's House Sound - This Is Ska (Skacid Mix) {1989} ( remixed by Tony Humphries ) Label: Big One Records

Hearing this track for the first time is one of my fondest memories. I remember it thumping out of Glasgow’s Sub Club sound system in Jamaica Street Scotland with its 303 bassline , offbeat guitar, creating that Ska ,Acid , Dub fusion vibe. I immediately knew this culture and this new sound was the start of something very special.

2) Roger Sanchez - Luv Dancin' (In Deep Mix) {1990} Label: Strictly Rhythm

My second choice of track is on the legendary New York label ‘Strictly Rhythm’, by none other than Roger Sanchez.

By this time, my sister and I had arrived in London. Immersed in the music & the culture, we found ourselves frequenting clubs like Astoria, Heaven, Busby’s, Labyrinth and Rocket to name a few. If not there, you’d find us in an illegal warehouse party in the depths of east London. Our lives were clubbing, warehouse parties and record shops. we had landed and London was our new home.

The saturated drums, shuffling bassline and captivating Jasmine vocal on this track remind me of those amazing times. If this track doesn’t get you moving see a doctor.

3) Caspar Pound & Marc Williams - 4 For Money - It’s A Moment In Time (Rising High Dub) {1990} Label: Tam Tam Records

This track was remixed by Caspar Pound ( RIP ) & Marc Williams for Rising High Productions, with its sluggish breakbeats, Happy Monday’s sample and deep sub bassline. It’s a stone cold classic!

4) Blapps Posse - Don't Hold Back (Blappstramental) {1991} Label: Tribal Bass

Owned by Rebel MC aka Congo Natty, this label has a vast catalogue of classics. ‘Don’t Hold Back’ takes influence from Breakbeat, Acid House and Hip-Hop and was produced by a collective of North London musicians.

I’m almost certain I met these guys back in the day at Noisegate Studios in London, where I often visited with my good friend of 30 years Barry James who was tour manager for Double Trouble and The Rebel MC.

5) D-Bridge - Bring Da Flava {1996} Label - Trouble on Vinyl

“Trouble on Vinyl” was owned by Clayton Hines and Mark Hill. By this time I was a young Mother and had returned back home to Scotland. Life had took me in another direction and being a mummy was priority. I continued to keep my connections with London through weapon’s like this. This track is simple but raw. Dbridge is in a league of his own.

6) Tony Humphries - Work Is Work (Her Wet Shoes) {2015} Label: TR Records

Jumping forward. Tony Humphries appears in my life again. This track has a deep soulful African vibe, taking me back to my influences growing up. An incredible Producer and DJ from Brooklyn NY who paved the way in our music.

7) Chaka Khan - Some Love {1978} Label: Warner Bros. Records

Queen of Funk Chaka Khan shaped me as a person. There’s a deep rooted African-American influence throughout my music collection ( just incase you hadn’t noticed already..giggles ) and “Some Love” is a perfect example of that. The moment the bassline comes in you know the Funk’s gotcha. At the age of 18, my boyfriend at the time said “whenever I hear Chaka Khan, regardless of what path life takes us, I will think of you Shona ! Awwww. Theres only one Chaka ;)
Wonder what he’s doing now... :)

8) Hiatus Kaiyote - Nakamarra {2012} Label: Not On Label

One of my tutors at Pointblank Music School introduced me to this future soul quartet from Melbourne. Nakkamarra has a Neo Soul vibe, which incorporates elements of Jazz, Funk and Hip-Hop. This track is beautiful. The smooth electric piano and female vocal are a perfect combination.

9) The Vintage Babies (DJ Dummy & Maimouna Youssef aka Mumu Fresh) - Shine Your Life {2017} Label: Independent

I was first introduced to Maimouna Youssef last year by my sister and watched her on a Tiny Desk concert on Social Media. An American singer/songwriter rapper & Activist I immediately fell in love with her music and style. We later bought tickets to see her at The Jazz Cafe in London. She’s performed with some of the biggest names in Soul music. If you don’t know, get to know.

10) IAMDDB - Urban Jazz {2019} Label: Union IV Records

Diana De Brito aka IAMDDB was born in Lisbon and moved to Manchester when she was 6. Whilst this track takes heavy influence from Trip-Hop and Jazz, she’s also had collaborations in the Drum & Bass scene. Sassy and mega talented.

11) Kimyan Law - Kilele {2019} Label: Blu Mar Ten Music

From the 2019 album Yonda, Kilele is just one of the amazing tracks. The production on this track is stunning, and the sounds are as organic as they come. Kimyan Law is a true artist, who refers to his music as portraits and of them having fragrance & flavours. Delicious.

12) Erykah Badu Orange Moon {2014} Label: Music On Vinyl/Motown

Erykah Badu is the Queen of Neo Soul. Let me repeat that. Erykah Badu is the QUEEN of Neo Soul. I saw at Hammersmith Apollo in 2017, you could hear a pin drop when she performed her track “Green Eyes”. If there’s one lady who’s “Got It”, it’s Miss Badu, Apparently the Badu came from her favourite scat riff in Jazz.

13) DJ Krust - True Stories {1998} Label: Talkin’ Loud

And last but not least..

In 2017 after raising my children I decided it was now time for me to pursue my dream that I had began over 30 years ago, and that was to Produce music. I've been a student at Pointblank Music School studying Sound Engineering & Music Production . My final track of choice took me on a journey which led me directly to the man himself and where I am now in life. For the past 3 years, I’ve been part of a group of professional creatives led by Experimental Artist
DJ Krust. He provides us with tools, and a mindset that helps us to achieve our goals even when the path seems impossible. He has guided me to become the most authentic true version of myself. Our Mission is to build a trusted community of like minded creatives delivering Theatrical Live performance through Music & Film.

As a group we are deeply concerned with the current climate in the world and the spiritual &
physical well being of all its inhabitants, especially the next Generation .. OUR CHILDREN !

The music I love and celebrate derives from Black culture. To make beautiful music we must play
the Black & white notes together !!

My second choice of track is on the legendary New York label ‘Strictly Rhythm’, by none other than Roger Sanchez.

By this time, my sister and I had arrived in London. Immersed in the music & the culture, we found ourselves frequenting clubs like Astoria, Heaven, Busby’s, Labyrinth and Rocket to name a few. If not there, you’d find us in an illegal warehouse party in the depths of east London. Our lives were clubbing, warehouse parties and record shops. we had landed and London was our new home.

The saturated drums, shuffling bassline and captivating Jasmine vocal on this track remind me of those amazing times. If this track doesn’t get you moving see a doctor.

3) Caspar Pound & Marc Williams - 4 For Money - It’s A Moment In Time (Rising High Dub) {1990} Label: Tam Tam Records

This track was remixed by Caspar Pound ( RIP ) & Marc Williams for Rising High Productions, with its sluggish breakbeats, Happy Monday’s sample and deep sub bassline. It’s a stone cold classic!

4) Blapps Posse - Don't Hold Back (Blappstramental) {1991} Label: Tribal Bass

Owned by Rebel MC aka Congo Natty, this label has a vast catalogue of classics. ‘Don’t Hold Back’ takes influence from Breakbeat, Acid House and Hip-Hop and was produced by a collective of North London musicians.

I’m almost certain I met these guys back in the day at Noisegate Studios in London, where I often visited with my good friend of 30 years Barry James who was tour manager for Double Trouble and The Rebel MC.

5) D-Bridge - Bring Da Flava {1996} Label - Trouble on Vinyl

“Trouble on Vinyl” was owned by Clayton Hines and Mark Hill. By this time I was a young Mother and had returned back home to Scotland. Life had took me in another direction and being a mummy was priority. I continued to keep my connections with London through weapon’s like this. This track is simple but raw. Dbridge is in a league of his own.

6) Tony Humphries - Work Is Work (Her Wet Shoes) {2015} Label: TR Records

Jumping forward. Tony Humphries appears in my life again. This track has a deep soulful African vibe, taking me back to my influences growing up. An incredible Producer and DJ from Brooklyn NY who paved the way in our music.

7) Chaka Khan - Some Love {1978} Label: Warner Bros. Records

Queen of Funk Chaka Khan shaped me as a person. There’s a deep rooted African-American influence throughout my music collection ( just incase you hadn’t noticed already..giggles ) and “Some Love” is a perfect example of that. The moment the bassline comes in you know the Funk’s gotcha. At the age of 18, my boyfriend at the time said “whenever I hear Chaka Khan, regardless of what path life takes us, I will think of you Shona ! Awwww. Theres only one Chaka ;)
Wonder what he’s doing now... :)

8) Hiatus Kaiyote - Nakamarra {2012} Label: Not On Label

One of my tutors at Pointblank Music School introduced me to this future soul quartet from Melbourne. Nakkamarra has a Neo Soul vibe, which incorporates elements of Jazz, Funk and Hip-Hop. This track is beautiful. The smooth electric piano and female vocal are a perfect combination.

9) The Vintage Babies (DJ Dummy & Maimouna Youssef aka Mumu Fresh) - Shine Your Life {2017} Label: Independent

I was first introduced to Maimouna Youssef last year by my sister and watched her on a Tiny Desk concert on Social Media. An American singer/songwriter rapper & Activist I immediately fell in love with her music and style. We later bought tickets to see her at The Jazz Cafe in London. She’s performed with some of the biggest names in Soul music. If you don’t know, get to know.

10) IAMDDB - Urban Jazz {2019} Label: Union IV Records

Diana De Brito aka IAMDDB was born in Lisbon and moved to Manchester when she was 6. Whilst this track takes heavy influence from Trip-Hop and Jazz, she’s also had collaborations in the Drum & Bass scene. Sassy and mega talented.

11) Kimyan Law - Kilele {2019} Label: Blu Mar Ten Music

From the 2019 album Yonda, Kilele is just one of the amazing tracks. The production on this track is stunning, and the sounds are as organic as they come. Kimyan Law is a true artist, who refers to his music as portraits and of them having fragrance & flavours. Delicious.

12) Erykah Badu Orange Moon {2014} Label: Music On Vinyl/Motown

Erykah Badu is the Queen of Neo Soul. Let me repeat that. Erykah Badu is the QUEEN of Neo Soul. I saw at Hammersmith Apollo in 2017, you could hear a pin drop when she performed her track “Green Eyes”. If there’s one lady who’s “Got It”, it’s Miss Badu, Apparently the Badu came from her favourite scat riff in Jazz.

13) DJ Krust - True Stories {1998} Label: Talkin’ Loud

And last but not least..

In 2017 after raising my children I decided it was now time for me to pursue my dream that I had began over 30 years ago, and that was to Produce music. I've been a student at Pointblank Music School studying Sound Engineering & Music Production . My final track of choice took me on a journey which led me directly to the man himself and where I am now in life. For the past 3 years, I’ve been part of a group of professional creatives led by Experimental Artist
DJ Krust. He provides us with tools, and a mindset that helps us to achieve our goals even when the path seems impossible. He has guided me to become the most authentic true version of myself. Our Mission is to build a trusted community of like minded creatives delivering Theatrical Live performance through Music & Film.

As a group we are deeply concerned with the current climate in the world and the spiritual &
physical well being of all its inhabitants, especially the next Generation .. OUR CHILDREN !

The music I love and celebrate derives from Black culture. To make beautiful music we must play
the Black & white notes together !!

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Nitzer Ebb to the Dusk Dubs family.

Britain's Nitzer Ebb are one of the most influential acts associated with the EBM (electronic body music) scene, as well as alternative dance in general. Since the early '80s, the group, led by enthusiastic frontman Douglas McCarthy, have produced an aggressive, visceral brand of electronic music influenced by German industrial and new wave groups like Die Krupps and D.A.F. The group remains best known for the classic "Join in the Chant," a single taken from 1987's That Total Age that became a staple of dance clubs from Ibiza to Detroit. Subsequent albums such as 1991's Ebbhead displayed more of an interest in pop songcraft, and found some success on alternative radio. Nitzer Ebb broke up following 1995's Big Hit, which featured a greater presence of non-electronic instruments, but they reunited over a decade later, as their influence on newer generations of industrial and hard-edged techno artists continued to grow. After Industrial Complex appeared in 2010, Nitzer Ebb went on hiatus again, but they re-formed with all of their founding members in 2018 for a tour and retrospective box set.

Formed in Chelmsford, Essex, in 1982 by vocalist Douglas McCarthy, drummer Bon Harris, and keyboard player David Gooday, the group began experimenting with synthesizers and drum pads, fusing the bandmembers' affinity for dark goth and punk rock with the emerging technology. A demo cassette titled Basic Pain Procedure appeared in 1983. After several popular shows around London during 1984, PWL producer Phil Harding began working with Nitzer Ebb and recorded their first single, "Isn't It Funny How Your Body Works," which appeared on the band's Power of Voice Communications label in 1985. Three more singles followed during 1985-1986 before Nitzer Ebb signed to Mute in late 1986; the first Mute recordings were the singles "Murderous" and "Let Your Body Learn" in early 1987, just before the release of their debut album, That Total Age. After the single "Join in the Chant" was remixed by producer Flood (Nick Cave, Erasure), it became one of the crucial tracks in the growing alternative/Balearic dance scene, played out alongside Chicago house, Detroit techno, and Northern soul.

After the release of That Total Age, Nitzer Ebb toured Europe with Depeche Mode, and the latter band's pop sensibilities appeared to inspire them. By the time of their second album, Belief, Gooday had disappeared (to be replaced by Julian Beeston) and Flood had taken over the producer's role from Harding, nudging Nitzer Ebb closer to the dancefloor and shearing away the militaristic bent of much of their earlier recordings. Singles like "Hearts and Minds," "Shame," and "Lightning Man" were loaded with the cold aggression of earlier recordings, working well on dancefloors as well as college radio stations; the 1990 single "Fun to Be Had" even reached number two on the dance charts. The following year's Ebbhead further consolidated their position with alternative audiences, with at least two well-known singles, "I Give to You" and "Godhead."

Nitzer Ebb virtually disappeared from active music-making for the next four years, finally reappearing in 1995 with their fifth (and least industrial-sounding) album, Big Hit. The group became inactive, but McCarthy became a regular collaborator with Alan Wilder's Recoil project, and formed the duo Fixmer/McCarthy with techno producer Terence Fixmer. The compilation Body of Work 1984-1997 appeared in 2006 and was immediately followed by set of new remixes titled Body Rework. After a reunion tour to support the releases proved successful, the group began working on new material. In January of 2010 they released Industrial Complex, their first studio album in 15 years and their first for the Alpha Matrix label. Nitzer Ebb then toured with Die Krupps, issuing the joint EP Join in the Rhythm of Machines in 2011. The following year, Basic Pain Procedure was reissued by Pylon Records.

Box Set [1982-2010] was released in 2018, containing double-LP reissues of Nitzer Ebb's five albums for Mute, as well as empty slots for their other two full-lengths, which remained in print. Additionally, the band's original line-up began performing for the first time since 1987.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Alex Attias to the Dusk Dubs family.

Alex Attias is a dj a producer and a record digger. He’s also a vinyl collector from a young age following the steps of his dad who had a big 7 inch record collection.

Alex started his Djing career in 1988, Lausanne - Switzerland, playing a mixture of soulful grooves in a small bar for friends and music lovers.

With the respect of history of dance music, the knowledge of the dance floor and his love for old an new sounds, Alex is a selector dj who can make people dance playing classics and rare tracks from soul to deep house , boogie to afrobeat , disco to Detroit sounds and jazz orientated grooves.

Throughout the late 80's and early 90's, he established himself as one of Switzerland's top Dj's running his own successful weekly nights « The Jackal’s « , being booked to play all over the world, and in return booking International Dj's to play in Switzerland. Alex was also long-time collaborator for the magazine Vibrations, writing reviews and compiling their series of albums. By 1995, he was ready to break into Electronic music production and set up the Bel - Air Project, and began attracting attention with their first release "Magik", which was featured on one of the famous Sourcelab compilations. Bel-Air Project's next two releases became minor underground cult classics "Jazz with Altitude" and "Dark Jazzor" were both championed by the likes of 4 Hero, Gilles Peterson and Stacey Pullen.

His discography includes singles for labels such as People, Ubiquity, Versatile, Neroli, Archive, Compost records as well as remixing Incognito, 4Hero, Ennio Morricone, Sun RA, Art Blakey, Roni Size, Laurent Garnier to name but a few.

Very happy with his first steps into music, Alex’s dream came through when In 1997 he moved to England to pursue new musical projects, Mustang and Beatless the main sources of his creative output , plus a few sporadic collaborations: Plutonia with Dego from 4 Hero, Catalyst with Greg Boraman and Freedom Soundz with his brother Stephane )

Alex was so happy in London meeting key people like Enrico Crivellaro, Dego and Marc Mac, Phil Asher and Mike Slocombe whom made him join the Goya West London family.

In 2000 he set up his own recording Studio and his label, Visions Inc., for which he's been busy recording with Jessica Lauren, producing tracks for soul singer Vanessa Freeman, Colonel Red and for his own Mustang project. He played regularly with Phil Asher and Patrick Forge at their weekly night « Inspiration Information « and at the famous CoOp Sessions @Plastic People.

London was about connections and Paul Martin from Talkin Loud was one of them which leaded to a collaboration for the 1st Beatless album "Life Mirrors ».

It was released in October 2001 on the American label Ubiquity, featuring tracks recorded in San Francisco with the Daughters from the 70's band the Sons and Daughters of Lite, with Stones Throw rapper Quasimoto, and the multitalented Colonel Red.
Around the same time, Irma Records from Italy released his "Quiet Moments" compilation, an assortment of chilled and space jazz tracks from the past that is still loved and played by many, compiled with love for the birth of his children.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Alex Attias to the Dusk Dubs family.

Alex Attias is a dj a producer and a record digger. He’s also a vinyl collector from a young age following the steps of his dad who had a big 7 inch record collection.

Alex started his Djing career in 1988, Lausanne - Switzerland, playing a mixture of soulful grooves in a small bar for friends and music lovers.

With the respect of history of dance music, the knowledge of the dance floor and his love for old an new sounds, Alex is a selector dj who can make people dance playing classics and rare tracks from soul to deep house , boogie to afrobeat , disco to Detroit sounds and jazz orientated grooves.

Throughout the late 80's and early 90's, he established himself as one of Switzerland's top Dj's running his own successful weekly nights « The Jackal’s « , being booked to play all over the world, and in return booking International Dj's to play in Switzerland. Alex was also long-time collaborator for the magazine Vibrations, writing reviews and compiling their series of albums. By 1995, he was ready to break into Electronic music production and set up the Bel - Air Project, and began attracting attention with their first release "Magik", which was featured on one of the famous Sourcelab compilations. Bel-Air Project's next two releases became minor underground cult classics "Jazz with Altitude" and "Dark Jazzor" were both championed by the likes of 4 Hero, Gilles Peterson and Stacey Pullen.

His discography includes singles for labels such as People, Ubiquity, Versatile, Neroli, Archive, Compost records as well as remixing Incognito, 4Hero, Ennio Morricone, Sun RA, Art Blakey, Roni Size, Laurent Garnier to name but a few.

Very happy with his first steps into music, Alex’s dream came through when In 1997 he moved to England to pursue new musical projects, Mustang and Beatless the main sources of his creative output , plus a few sporadic collaborations: Plutonia with Dego from 4 Hero, Catalyst with Greg Boraman and Freedom Soundz with his brother Stephane )

Alex was so happy in London meeting key people like Enrico Crivellaro, Dego and Marc Mac, Phil Asher and Mike Slocombe whom made him join the Goya West London family.

In 2000 he set up his own recording Studio and his label, Visions Inc., for which he's been busy recording with Jessica Lauren, producing tracks for soul singer Vanessa Freeman, Colonel Red and for his own Mustang project. He played regularly with Phil Asher and Patrick Forge at their weekly night « Inspiration Information « and at the famous CoOp Sessions @Plastic People.

London was about connections and Paul Martin from Talkin Loud was one of them which leaded to a collaboration for the 1st Beatless album "Life Mirrors ».

It was released in October 2001 on the American label Ubiquity, featuring tracks recorded in San Francisco with the Daughters from the 70's band the Sons and Daughters of Lite, with Stones Throw rapper Quasimoto, and the multitalented Colonel Red.
Around the same time, Irma Records from Italy released his "Quiet Moments" compilation, an assortment of chilled and space jazz tracks from the past that is still loved and played by many, compiled with love for the birth of his children.

After 8 years in London Producing records, travelling , deejaying and being a young dad, its only in 2004 that Alex has completed his first solo album under the Mustang moniker on Compost Records ( Germany), just before returning to Switzerland.

After a little break of about 3 years, Alex came back with various productions for Rush hour, Planet E, Mule records and a weekly saturday night radio show on the Swiss national channel Couleur 3, plus a regular Club night « LillyGood Party ! « inviting guests such as Zaf Lovevinyl, Phil Asher, Melik Heartbeatvinyl ..

At the moment Alex is working on his new album and producing various singles for his label Visions Recordings, and with his brother Stephane they’ll be releasing a special serie of only vinyl singles of edits under the name of LillyGood Party !

Released in may 2018 on BBE « LillyGood Party ! volume 1 » is a compilation /album of new and old soulful disco funk boogie and house tunes played at their parties also called LIllyGood Party ! The volume 2 is in preparation as well as the second opus of his compilation « the chromatic universe « on his label Visions recordings plus various singles and remixes soon to be released.

This week we welcome back Twindad.

"Being asked to do another volume again is quite an honor so I’m back for another journey. It’s time or a cosmic, dubby, funky, synth laden electronic musical journey. These are some of my favorite types of chill out/ambient tunes. I’m sure you’ll recognize some of the artists, others not so much.

The one thing I love about Dusk Dubs is hearing tunes I’ve never heard before which is quite a lot, so hopefully you feel the same way and hear a tune that’s new to you and you like what you hear. Enough of my yapping, enjoy the ride. "

This week we welcome Stereo 77 to the Dusk Dubs family.

He began his DJ career in 1998 lining up multiple residencies throughout the Central Florida region, as well as opening and sharing the stage for such acts as DJ Vadim, Ancient Astronauts, DJ Sabo, KidGusto, J-Boogie's Dubtronic Science, South Rakkas Crew, and many more - including curating a soundtrack for the live performance of Pietà, with internationally acclaimed artist Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz, as performed at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC in 2017.

By no means a traditionalist, Stereo 77's productions and DJ sets are a melting pot of multi-genre flavors, soaked in Afro-Caribbean rhythms with a heavy dose of dance floor beats & breaks.

Since 2010, Stereo 77 has released a series of EPs via Plimsoll Records and Research Deluxe, plus a collection of remixes for Empresarios, Los Chicos Altos, and Thomas Blondet, just to name a few. 

In 2004, Stereo 77 launched Filtered Sunshine Radio via the FM waves of WPRK 91.5 FM in Winter Park, Florida - broadcasting live on a weekly basis for 11 years.

Filtered Deluxe Recordings is an independent record label created in 2016 by Stereo 77. Established in Orlando, Florida, but born from the Caribbean with the vision to release music with an underground and experimental foundation - heavily influenced by Afro-Caribbean rhythms, deep disco, funky beats & breaks, dub, and trip hop.

“For as far back as I can recall, I’ve had an ever evolving mental playlist of the songs, albums, and moments within those songs and rhythms that define not just my love for music - but the chapters, memories, and influences that define me, my life and career as a DJ and producer - and the foundation of Filtered Deluxe Recordings. This session for DuskDubs is inspired by that playlist that only exists in my mind, record collection, and occasionally in a DJ set - at least 20 tracks worth ... 

i hope you enjoy this selection, as I certainly enjoyed and appreciated the moments within the space of creating this mix.  Thank you for listening" - Alejandro (Stereo 77)

**Tracklisting **

1) Al Di Meola - Midnight Tango

Without a doubt, I knew that I would start this mix with a track from Al Di Meola, and I kept the selection process simple by choosing from my favorite album, Elegant Gypsy. Al Di Meola has been forever a favorite in my life - well, at least since my 6th grade era. I was also attempting to learn how to play guitar around that age, and no matter how much I tried, I could never play like Al Di Meola ... not even close! Nevertheless, the admiration remains and I continue to be inspired and educated by his music.

2) Roberto Roena & Apollo Sound - Traicion

You can argue day and night with me, but there is no greater era in music than the Salsa created in the 70’s, as you’ll pick up on within this mix ...

It was difficult to select one song from the Apollo Sound catalog, but I chose ‘Traicíon’ as I was listening to the album a few days before diving into this mix ;)

3) Willie Colon - Apartamento 21

‘Apartamento 21’ comes from one of the lesser known albums in the magnificent Willie Colon discography, ‘El Baquine De Los Angelitos Negros’

It’s one of my most favorite albums, and earliest memories of music, thanks to my mom. Actually, I own her copy now.

4) Gregory Issacs - Night Nurse

I wanted to add a few reggae jams to this mix, but I ended up choosing the most important to me - the one that you can’t live without. ‘Night Nurse’ is such a great piece - the groove, the lyrics, vibe, etc! There’s “no prescription” for you if can’t get into this track.

5) Meat Beat Manifesto - She’s Unreal

Upon beginning to select tracks for this session, I knew that a solid chunk of the songs would belong to trip hop & downtempo. To kick things off, I selected my favorite from Meat Beat Manifesto. I believe I first heard this song in a compilation or DJ mix, and I’ve loved it ever since. It has every element of what I love from the MBM sound - big dusty drums, abstract samples, and dubby elements. Without a doubt, MBM has inspired my production in countless ways, even if unintentional. 

6) Depeche Mode - Useless (Kruder & Dorfmeister Session)

... where do I even begin with this song? Well, I chose this as the only remix to feature in this mix because it’s one of the finest remixes of all time from K&D, and a perfect example of how sometimes a remix can create a much more powerful impact than the original composition. I always hoped that K&D would release some original material inspired by this remix. Perhaps one day ...

8) DJ Shadow - In/Flux

What else can I say about DJ Shadow that hasn’t already been said before? ‘In/Flux’ embodies everything I respect and admire about DJ Shadow’s music. His album Preemptive Strike was a life-changer for me, and a piece of music history that will forever remain an influence.

9) The Cinematic Orchestra - Evolution (feat. Fontella Bass)

Upon selecting from The Cinematic Orchestra catalog, I immediately included my favorite track, ‘Channel One Suite’ - instead, I decided to select from my favorite album, Everyday.

If this mix is your introduction to TCO, I can’t stress enough how gorgeous and fantastic their music is, especially the record Everyday.

10) Nuyorican Soul - I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun (feat. Jocelyn Brown)

I briefly worked for “The Mouse” around 96-97 when the self-titled Nuyorican Soul debut was released, learning about it from a stack of discarded DJ promos. During that brief Disney period, I was fortunate enough to experience the life of a working DJ (hence the discarded promos), as I assisted a fellow coworker with his mobile DJ service. Without realizing it at the moment, that experience lead to what I am today. 

This version of the song was my introduction to not only this track, but in many ways the creative force known as Masters At Work, and their Nuyorican Soul project is a perfect example. I mean, who can resist those drums?!

11) Stanley Clarke - Yesterday’s Princess 

This track and record lived in my DJ crates for years, usually finding its way into my sets. Recently it has found its way back into my headphones, and it seems appropriate to include it into this selection. Complex, stunning, and calming ... and I may never truly understand what it means.

12) Eddie Palmieri - Adoracion

Like many of the artist before and after this track, selecting just one song from Eddie Palmieri’s immense and stellar catalog was by no means a simple decision. Nevertheless, ‘Adoracion’ has no comparison. “Salsa Dura” at its finest!

13) Willie Colon & Hector Lavoe - Sigue Feliz

If I could make this DuskDubs session solely based on the history of Willie Colon & Hector Lavoe, I would! I have so many favorite songs and memories created from their records, and I can’t imagine my life without them. ‘Sigue Feliz’ is certainly one of those favorites, reminding you to laugh and be happy - “Ayer llore, y hoy me rio!”

As I mentioned before, there’s is no greater era in music than 70’s Salsa - period. 

14) Ruben Blades y Son Del Solar - Buscando America (Live)

I didn’t intend on including a live recording in this mix, but the first of the two comes courtesy of Ruben Blades.

The original version of this song is without a doubt remarkable, but the live version and album are insanely powerful. Truthfully one of the best live albums I’ve ever listened to, and I haven’t even told you about his studio albums. If you’re not familiar with the life of Ruben Blades, I highly suggest the research - it’s quite extraordinary. Who knows, you may have even seen him in an episode of the X-Files ...

15) Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 - Righteous Life

Deep into the process of creating this mix, I realized that I hadn’t included any Brazillian music - unfortunately. With that being said, I can’t talk about the influence Brazilian music has had on my sound without giving the most sincere credit to Sergio Mendes. I learned about Sergio Mendes through digging, mostly finding his early catalog in thrift and record shop dollar bins, and I’ve sampled his work many times. Like the saying goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”.

If I do a follow up to this mix, I’ll be sure to include his more straight-forward Brazilian sounds.

16) Santana - Samba Pa Ti

Just like ‘Apartamento 21’ by Willie Colon, the album Abraxas is one of the earliest memories of music I have. I know the entire album from cover to cover, and ‘Samba Pa Ti’ is without doubt my most loved piece on the album. What more can I say?

17) UNKLE - Lonely Soul (feat. Richard Ashcroft)

Moving back into the spectrum of trip hop & downtempo influences, I absolutely must include not just another DJ Shadow production, but an UNKLE production. Psyence Fiction is arguably the greatest release to come from the Mo’ Wax label, and without question one of the best within its genre(s) and era.

I could’ve easily included 95% of the album into this mix, but once again had to go with the favorite track. 

‘Lonely Souls’ is a beautiful and complex piece that could’ve easily not worked. Personally, I find it to be one of DJ Shadow’s finest moments, and perhaps my favorite performance from Richard Ashcroft. Truly, top-shelf material.

18) Radiohead - Talk Show Host

I don’t believe I can go a single day without referencing Radiohead at least once. Honestly, attempting to find the words to describe the impact they’ve had on my life would be near impossible. 

I could’ve gone in many directions upon selecting a track to contribute to this mix, but I chose to go with the first Radiohead song that truly moved me. Before appearing in the Baz Luhrmann adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, ‘Talk Show Host’ was released as a b-side track on the Street Spirit (Fade Out) EP in 1995, and a glimpse into a new direction for the band, eventually to be known as OK Computer. 

With that being said - RADIOHEAD FOREVER!

19) Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin & Paco De Lucía - Mediterranean Sundance / Rio Ancho (Live)

The second live recording on this DuskDubs session was recorded on December 5th, 1980 in San Francisco. Considered by many to be the most influential of live acoustic guitar recordings, Friday Night In San Franciscois a stellar moment in history, thankfully documented for many to experience for the rest of time. 

Through the music of Al Di Meola, I was introduced to Paco De Lucía, John McLaughlin and his Mahavishnu Orchestra, and many more artists and albums from the jazz fusion movement. 

No matter how many times I’ve listened to Friday Night In San Francisco, I am always left in total amazement as to how three individuals can play and manipulate a guitar in such ways. Enjoy this selection, and let it live within your space. You’ll be grateful you did. 

20) Interpol - Leif Erickson 

I can’t create a mix based on the music that defines me, without including Interpol. 

Like Radiohead, Interpol has left an impact on my life that I’ve never bounced back from. Their debut album Turn On The Bright Lights, is my “go-to” record anytime I need a little pick me up, mental boost, break from reality, etc. To say it changed my life would be an understatement. 

They are not a band for everyone, and I’m grateful for that. Like the song says, “it’s like learning a new language”.

21) Al Green - Simply Beautiful 

As we come to a close, I find it appropriate to finish with some soul. I was not entirely certain the direction I’d take upon selecting for this mix, but I certainly knew that ‘The Reverend’ Al Green would be the first to make the cut. 

‘Simply Beautiful’ is exactly that. Simple and to the point, with a heavy dose of romance. Personally, it’s my most favorite song by Al Green, as I listen to it once again while writing these words. 

In closing, I’d like to dedicate this song once again to my life partner, Andrea. ]]>

This session for DuskDubs is inspired by that playlist that only exists in my mind, record collection, and occasionally in a DJ set - at least 20 tracks worth ... 

i hope you enjoy this selection, as I certainly enjoyed and appreciated the moments within the space of creating this mix.  Thank you for listening" - Alejandro (Stereo 77)

**Tracklisting **

1) Al Di Meola - Midnight Tango

Without a doubt, I knew that I would start this mix with a track from Al Di Meola, and I kept the selection process simple by choosing from my favorite album, Elegant Gypsy. Al Di Meola has been forever a favorite in my life - well, at least since my 6th grade era. I was also attempting to learn how to play guitar around that age, and no matter how much I tried, I could never play like Al Di Meola ... not even close! Nevertheless, the admiration remains and I continue to be inspired and educated by his music.

2) Roberto Roena & Apollo Sound - Traicion

You can argue day and night with me, but there is no greater era in music than the Salsa created in the 70’s, as you’ll pick up on within this mix ...

It was difficult to select one song from the Apollo Sound catalog, but I chose ‘Traicíon’ as I was listening to the album a few days before diving into this mix ;)

3) Willie Colon - Apartamento 21

‘Apartamento 21’ comes from one of the lesser known albums in the magnificent Willie Colon discography, ‘El Baquine De Los Angelitos Negros’

It’s one of my most favorite albums, and earliest memories of music, thanks to my mom. Actually, I own her copy now.

4) Gregory Issacs - Night Nurse

I wanted to add a few reggae jams to this mix, but I ended up choosing the most important to me - the one that you can’t live without. ‘Night Nurse’ is such a great piece - the groove, the lyrics, vibe, etc! There’s “no prescription” for you if can’t get into this track.

5) Meat Beat Manifesto - She’s Unreal

Upon beginning to select tracks for this session, I knew that a solid chunk of the songs would belong to trip hop & downtempo. To kick things off, I selected my favorite from Meat Beat Manifesto. I believe I first heard this song in a compilation or DJ mix, and I’ve loved it ever since. It has every element of what I love from the MBM sound - big dusty drums, abstract samples, and dubby elements. Without a doubt, MBM has inspired my production in countless ways, even if unintentional. 

6) Depeche Mode - Useless (Kruder & Dorfmeister Session)

... where do I even begin with this song? Well, I chose this as the only remix to feature in this mix because it’s one of the finest remixes of all time from K&D, and a perfect example of how sometimes a remix can create a much more powerful impact than the original composition. I always hoped that K&D would release some original material inspired by this remix. Perhaps one day ...

8) DJ Shadow - In/Flux

What else can I say about DJ Shadow that hasn’t already been said before? ‘In/Flux’ embodies everything I respect and admire about DJ Shadow’s music. His album Preemptive Strike was a life-changer for me, and a piece of music history that will forever remain an influence.

9) The Cinematic Orchestra - Evolution (feat. Fontella Bass)

Upon selecting from The Cinematic Orchestra catalog, I immediately included my favorite track, ‘Channel One Suite’ - instead, I decided to select from my favorite album, Everyday.

If this mix is your introduction to TCO, I can’t stress enough how gorgeous and fantastic their music is, especially the record Everyday.

10) Nuyorican Soul - I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun (feat. Jocelyn Brown)

I briefly worked for “The Mouse” around 96-97 when the self-titled Nuyorican Soul debut was released, learning about it from a stack of discarded DJ promos. During that brief Disney period, I was fortunate enough to experience the life of a working DJ (hence the discarded promos), as I assisted a fellow coworker with his mobile DJ service. Without realizing it at the moment, that experience lead to what I am today. 

This version of the song was my introduction to not only this track, but in many ways the creative force known as Masters At Work, and their Nuyorican Soul project is a perfect example. I mean, who can resist those drums?!

11) Stanley Clarke - Yesterday’s Princess 

This track and record lived in my DJ crates for years, usually finding its way into my sets. Recently it has found its way back into my headphones, and it seems appropriate to include it into this selection. Complex, stunning, and calming ... and I may never truly understand what it means.

12) Eddie Palmieri - Adoracion

Like many of the artist before and after this track, selecting just one song from Eddie Palmieri’s immense and stellar catalog was by no means a simple decision. Nevertheless, ‘Adoracion’ has no comparison. “Salsa Dura” at its finest!

13) Willie Colon & Hector Lavoe - Sigue Feliz

If I could make this DuskDubs session solely based on the history of Willie Colon & Hector Lavoe, I would! I have so many favorite songs and memories created from their records, and I can’t imagine my life without them. ‘Sigue Feliz’ is certainly one of those favorites, reminding you to laugh and be happy - “Ayer llore, y hoy me rio!”

As I mentioned before, there’s is no greater era in music than 70’s Salsa - period. 

14) Ruben Blades y Son Del Solar - Buscando America (Live)

I didn’t intend on including a live recording in this mix, but the first of the two comes courtesy of Ruben Blades.

The original version of this song is without a doubt remarkable, but the live version and album are insanely powerful. Truthfully one of the best live albums I’ve ever listened to, and I haven’t even told you about his studio albums. If you’re not familiar with the life of Ruben Blades, I highly suggest the research - it’s quite extraordinary. Who knows, you may have even seen him in an episode of the X-Files ...

15) Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 - Righteous Life

Deep into the process of creating this mix, I realized that I hadn’t included any Brazillian music - unfortunately. With that being said, I can’t talk about the influence Brazilian music has had on my sound without giving the most sincere credit to Sergio Mendes. I learned about Sergio Mendes through digging, mostly finding his early catalog in thrift and record shop dollar bins, and I’ve sampled his work many times. Like the saying goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”.

If I do a follow up to this mix, I’ll be sure to include his more straight-forward Brazilian sounds.

16) Santana - Samba Pa Ti

Just like ‘Apartamento 21’ by Willie Colon, the album Abraxas is one of the earliest memories of music I have. I know the entire album from cover to cover, and ‘Samba Pa Ti’ is without doubt my most loved piece on the album. What more can I say?

17) UNKLE - Lonely Soul (feat. Richard Ashcroft)

Moving back into the spectrum of trip hop & downtempo influences, I absolutely must include not just another DJ Shadow production, but an UNKLE production. Psyence Fiction is arguably the greatest release to come from the Mo’ Wax label, and without question one of the best within its genre(s) and era.

I could’ve easily included 95% of the album into this mix, but once again had to go with the favorite track. 

‘Lonely Souls’ is a beautiful and complex piece that could’ve easily not worked. Personally, I find it to be one of DJ Shadow’s finest moments, and perhaps my favorite performance from Richard Ashcroft. Truly, top-shelf material.

18) Radiohead - Talk Show Host

I don’t believe I can go a single day without referencing Radiohead at least once. Honestly, attempting to find the words to describe the impact they’ve had on my life would be near impossible. 

I could’ve gone in many directions upon selecting a track to contribute to this mix, but I chose to go with the first Radiohead song that truly moved me. Before appearing in the Baz Luhrmann adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, ‘Talk Show Host’ was released as a b-side track on the Street Spirit (Fade Out) EP in 1995, and a glimpse into a new direction for the band, eventually to be known as OK Computer. 

With that being said - RADIOHEAD FOREVER!

19) Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin & Paco De Lucía - Mediterranean Sundance / Rio Ancho (Live)

The second live recording on this DuskDubs session was recorded on December 5th, 1980 in San Francisco. Considered by many to be the most influential of live acoustic guitar recordings, Friday Night In San Franciscois a stellar moment in history, thankfully documented for many to experience for the rest of time. 

Through the music of Al Di Meola, I was introduced to Paco De Lucía, John McLaughlin and his Mahavishnu Orchestra, and many more artists and albums from the jazz fusion movement. 

No matter how many times I’ve listened to Friday Night In San Francisco, I am always left in total amazement as to how three individuals can play and manipulate a guitar in such ways. Enjoy this selection, and let it live within your space. You’ll be grateful you did. 

20) Interpol - Leif Erickson 

I can’t create a mix based on the music that defines me, without including Interpol. 

Like Radiohead, Interpol has left an impact on my life that I’ve never bounced back from. Their debut album Turn On The Bright Lights, is my “go-to” record anytime I need a little pick me up, mental boost, break from reality, etc. To say it changed my life would be an understatement. 

They are not a band for everyone, and I’m grateful for that. Like the song says, “it’s like learning a new language”.

21) Al Green - Simply Beautiful 

As we come to a close, I find it appropriate to finish with some soul. I was not entirely certain the direction I’d take upon selecting for this mix, but I certainly knew that ‘The Reverend’ Al Green would be the first to make the cut. 

‘Simply Beautiful’ is exactly that. Simple and to the point, with a heavy dose of romance. Personally, it’s my most favorite song by Al Green, as I listen to it once again while writing these words. 

In closing, I’d like to dedicate this song once again to my life partner, Andrea. ]]> 4719208 no no Sun, 17 May 2020 10:00:02 +0200 2020-05-17T10:00:02+02:00 1:59:56 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0632-dusk-dubs-rui-fradinho/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Rui Fradinho to the Dusk Dubs family.

First of all, thank you very much for inviting me to do my Dusk Dubs, which gave me an enormous pleasure, not just for knowing that Dusk Dubs includes a lot of legendary music personalities but also because this was an absolutely lovely journey to my past through all the music that shaped me.

Being from a small village in Portugal, not being able to access all the wonderful music being released in the 80’s and 90’s, my musical influences are obviously very mainstream (which I’m not ashamed of!) but evolved to be a bit more “alternative” throughout the years.

This is my “almost chronological” musical influences timeline, where you’ll find a lot of obvious tracks and some less obvious ones.

So here it is: My musical “X-Ray” since the 80’s kid I was, up to today.

Hope you enjoy it! [[ Rui []]

**Tracklisting**

1) Julio Pereira – Terra Do Bravo – Diapasão – 1981

Portugal has a big folk component on its traditional music and Júlio Pereira is one of the artists that captivated my attention since when I was a little kid. This is probably one of the records that I have the oldest memories from, being a child crawling in the living room whilst this record was playing on my parent’s stereo. It also reminds me of when my mum used to take me to see live performances of Portuguese traditional folk dance groups on Sundays. Júlio Pereira is a unique folk musician from Portugal that owns and plays a plethora of acoustic guitar like instruments. This track is the most “fusion” one from his work, blending the Cavaquinho (a Portuguese version of an ukulele) with wonderful jazz musicianship and with a spiritual taste of Africa, as Portugal is also known for.

2) Stevie Wonder – Master Blaster (Jammin’) – Motown – 1980

I remember seeing this cover and feeling my first ever goose bumps with Motown music. Stevie Wonder is an absolute key musician in my life and it was my first (and best!) contact with black music. I’ve chosen the obvious classic “Master Blaster”, not only because it’s an awesome track, but also because I used to play this track (and others) when I was a keyboard player in a covers band back in the 90’s when I was still living in Portugal.

3) The Police – Canary in a Coalmine – A&M – 1980

The Police were a fundamental band in my musical journey, especially when I first started DJing professionally at the age of 15. This 2000 people club in Ericeira – Portugal, had a very eclectic night throughout, starting with house at 10pm and changing to a more pop / rock outfit from midnight until 6am (closing with acid jazz and soul classics to send people home on a high). It was through these 6 year residence that I came across most of my pop / rock musical references but Zenyatta Mondatta was an album that my parents already had on their collection, way before I started DJing. Canary in a Coalmine is a track that always captivated my attention, not only for Sting’s performance but also for the awesome drumming of Stewart Copeland.

4) Prince – Diamonds and Pearls – Paisley Park – 1991

Along with Stevie Wonder and David Bowie, Prince is, to me, an essential musical genius with energy and talent that you couldn’t see anyone else with! I can’t write more words about Prince because his legendary work speaks for itself! I’ve chosen Diamonds and Pearls for the harmonic beauty of it and because it’s one of my all-time favourite tracks from him.

5) David Bowie – Strangers When We Meet – BMG – 1995

Again, words cannot describe the geniality and originality of David Bowie’s work! The early works of Bowie were part of my musical formation when I was a pop / rock DJ and I’ve decided to choose this track because I was playing all the obvious ones, weekend in, weekend out. Strangers When We Meet is such a cinematic sounding track and it always makes me shiver and smile when I hear it.

6) Talking Heads – (Nothing But) Flowers – EMI – 1988

Another unique and legendary band, having the genius David Byrne as the front man. So many tracks to choose from but because of my love for everything tropical, I decided to choose this track because of the satirical take on the lyrics that makes it very current but also because music brings me happiness and this track does exactly that!

7) Led Zeppelin – Ramble On – Atlantic – 1990

Another band that was part of my musical “education” on my 6 year DJ residency in that big club in Portugal. Led Zeppelin have been always in my collection since the early 90’s and their undeniable originality and taste is expressed throughout their career. Again, so many tracks to choose from but I decided to “Ramble On” in the end.

8) Pixies – Where Is My Mind? – 4AD – 1988

The Pixies were a band that was introduced to me during my pop / rock DJ residency and later deeper digging action enticed by my surfing and skateboarding dudes that were more alternative in their music taste. Several key tracks to choose from the Pixies but this is one of my favourites.

9) Dave Matthews Band – Rapunzel – RCA – 1988

Alongside DJing, I was also a keyboard player and drummer in several originals and covers bands when I was in Portugal. I was always interested in fusion projects that had incredible musicians and, because of my folk roots and influence, I came across Dave Matthew’s Band through some of my band members. The musicianship in this track (and in most of Dave’s albums) is absolutely incredible and it goes along with my taste for syncopated shuffled rhythmic structures and these “new approaches” to Jazz music.

10) Arcade Fire – No Cars Go – Legacy – 2003

Music for me is all about the emotions it implies on you. Arcade Fire is one of those bands that have that magic way of making you feel their vibrations. What possibly drove me to choose this track is the harmony, the message and also, having a violin and an accordion, instrument that is key in Portuguese’s folk and traditional music.

11) Bjork – Hyperballad – One Little Indian – 1995

The beautiful, original and goose-bumping world of Bjork, paved the way from a more pop / rock culture that I had, into a more alternative and electronic taste in music. I still remember the day my best friend introduced me to Bjork and I was mesmerised with her Debut album! I had to choose Hyperballad, again, because of how it stimulates my senses for the harmonic positive and “time travelling” landscape it impresses on me!

12) Portishead – Roads – Go! Beat – 1994

This album and band was a game changer for me! I was into some hip hop through my skateboarding friends and culture but this was next level! Portishead, despite being labelled as “sad music” for most people, it was actually one of the albums I’ve listened the most during my mid-late 90’s! I had to choose Roads because it’s an absolutely beautiful track!

13) Massive Attack – Protection – Wild Bunch Records – 1994

Along with Portishead, I came across Massive Attack through my same friend who had also introduced me to Bjork. Topped up with the beautiful voice of Tracey Thorne, this has to be my favourite Massive Attack track!

14) Thievery Corporation – .38.45 (A Thievery Number) – ESL Music – 1996

On the same pile of CDs, lent to me by my friend, was this “Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi” from the Thievery Corporation. Love at first sight as I was just discovering the worlds of Downtempo after having played pop / rock and house music for so many years! Always seen TC as a reference in class when it comes to music, especially this album!

15) Tosca – Honey – G-Stone Recordings – 2000

I couldn’t escape this classy duo (and album) also because of the Kruder & Dorfmeister K&D Sessions compilation, which led me to this Suzuki masterpiece! Love the entire album but Honey has to be my favourite track of it.

16) Moloko – The Time Is Now – Echo – 2000

Forget all the “mainstream titled divas”. Roisin Murphy IS THE diva of them all, in my humble opinion! Through the hit single “Sing It Back”, I had to dig back and found this gem of an album! Recently bought the re-edition as I only had it on CD and “The Time Is Now” is my favourite track from the album “Things To Make and Do”.

17) Lamb – Little Things – Fontana – 1999

Another key band for my musical journey, due to the genius mix of the unique voice of Louise Rhodes and the electronic “mayhem” of Andy Barlow! Syncopated, random electronic beats, immediately drew me into their work and these are the “Little Things” that make music such a special thing in life! I will never forget the summer festival in Portugal when Lamb played before Moloko, closing the night in one of the best ever festival nights I’ve ever been to!

18) Roni Size – Heroes – Talkin’ Loud – 1997

This “Reprazent” album totally changed my view on the electronic music scenario! I was immediately addicted to it and was playing it on repeat for almost a month! I had to choose “Heroes” for the soulful vocals and overall jazzy atmosphere of the track. Absolute game changer!

19) Jamiroquai – Do You Know Where You’re Coming From – Sony – 1996

From the extensive work of Jamiroquai, I had to choose this “bonus track” of the “Travelling Without Moving” album, even though his “Emergency on Planet Earth” debut album is my favourite. I love the soulful groovy, almost DnB feel of this track and it always makes me smile when I listen to it.

20) Quantic – Mishapps Happening (Quantic Beat Mix) – Tru Toughts – 2004

Quantic is, by far, my favourite producer / musician / DJ and one of the main inspirations for my current productions. There is so much good stuff from Will’s work that I could almost make a Dusk Dubs with only Quantic tunes! The fusion between Latin ambiances with breakbeats on this track is just wonderful and this is a 12” that never leaves my DJ bag! (also because of the “Don’t Joke With a Hungry Man” Seiji remix on the B-side!). Absolutely essential!

21) Kaidi Tatham & Dego - Got Me Puzzled – 2000 Black – 2003

Broken beat is my main passion in music since 2004 and I decided not to focus my Dusk Dubs with Broken Beat records so much because it’s only part of my recent past. Amongst so many essential records to choose from, this one literally “Got Me Puzzled” and is, for me, a record that best represents broken beat.

22) Al Green – Let’s Stay Together – Hi Records – 1972

Al Green only came later in my life and this is an obvious choice because, even though it’s mainstream, you can’t beat a great song like this one! One of my all-time favourite tracks ever!

23) Amalia Rodrigues – É ou Não é – EMI – 1985

I had to close my “musical x-ray” with a Fado track because of the importance of it in Portuguese music. This is also a very special track for me because I always remember my mother singing this several times and I will never forget her happiness every time she would listen to all the happy Fados from the legendary Amália Rodrigues. Fado is not only about sadness and I’ve purposely chosen this track because it’s a happy one and it always reminds me of Portugal with a lot of Saudade (mourning / home sickness).]]>

19) Jamiroquai – Do You Know Where You’re Coming From – Sony – 1996

From the extensive work of Jamiroquai, I had to choose this “bonus track” of the “Travelling Without Moving” album, even though his “Emergency on Planet Earth” debut album is my favourite. I love the soulful groovy, almost DnB feel of this track and it always makes me smile when I listen to it.

20) Quantic – Mishapps Happening (Quantic Beat Mix) – Tru Toughts – 2004

Quantic is, by far, my favourite producer / musician / DJ and one of the main inspirations for my current productions. There is so much good stuff from Will’s work that I could almost make a Dusk Dubs with only Quantic tunes! The fusion between Latin ambiances with breakbeats on this track is just wonderful and this is a 12” that never leaves my DJ bag! (also because of the “Don’t Joke With a Hungry Man” Seiji remix on the B-side!). Absolutely essential!

21) Kaidi Tatham & Dego - Got Me Puzzled – 2000 Black – 2003

Broken beat is my main passion in music since 2004 and I decided not to focus my Dusk Dubs with Broken Beat records so much because it’s only part of my recent past. Amongst so many essential records to choose from, this one literally “Got Me Puzzled” and is, for me, a record that best represents broken beat.

22) Al Green – Let’s Stay Together – Hi Records – 1972

Al Green only came later in my life and this is an obvious choice because, even though it’s mainstream, you can’t beat a great song like this one! One of my all-time favourite tracks ever!

23) Amalia Rodrigues – É ou Não é – EMI – 1985

I had to close my “musical x-ray” with a Fado track because of the importance of it in Portuguese music. This is also a very special track for me because I always remember my mother singing this several times and I will never forget her happiness every time she would listen to all the happy Fados from the legendary Amália Rodrigues. Fado is not only about sadness and I’ve purposely chosen this track because it’s a happy one and it always reminds me of Portugal with a lot of Saudade (mourning / home sickness).]]> 4682539 no no Sun, 10 May 2020 10:08:14 +0200 2020-05-10T10:08:14+02:00 1:55:57 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0631-dusk-dubs-beatwell/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Beatwell to the Dusk Dubs family.

"So here I am – my third Dusk Dubs mixtape has landed. For this edition and to complete my hat-trick I thought I would approach it a little differently. A little over two years ago after my second Duskdubs compilation I decided that the next one would have a theme – a theme which would represent part of my musical heritage and one that has shaped my musical path to this day – and it didn’t take long for me to decide – I chose a theme that was not only a music festival, but also a youth culture and arts lifestyle event that helped pave the way for many other similar events not only in the UK but across the world too. Yep you’ve guessed it – I’m talking about The Big Chill Festival - an annual music festival like no other and which for many was not only a music event but also a way of life too. Through it’s many club nights, record label, book, magazines and of course it’s website Forum, an all year round community for like-minded souls and music lovers alike was created - something that I am personally very grateful to of played a small part of. Too many fun memories to mention and far too many lovely people whom I met and am lucky enough to know and still call my friends today.

I finally put together – I say finally because this was a near impossible task of compiling twenty tracks that for me best define The Big Chill’s unique vibe and what represented it’s musical ethos - something which I saw ebb, flow and grow at all the events that I attended over the years – locations far and wide from it’s annual home at Eastnor Castle in the rolling and majestic Malvern Hills to the dark and vibey Metro Club in downtown Sydney - although I was rightfully corrected when I was lucky enough to of interviewed Big Chill co-founder Pete Lawrence not once but twice on the run up to his recent events and current projects (The Campfire Convention and The Little Chill) – that The Big Chill Festival never really had an ethos laid out at all. There was no five year plan thrashed out or set idea. The Big Chill organically grew through it’s founders and through it’s core community – and what fun we had.

Big thanks once again to the Dusk Dubs family new and old – Jon, Tommy, Leighton and everyone else involved– also a very special thanks to the Big Chill family of yester year and of course co-founders Pete Lawrence and Katrina Larkin for amking it all happen in the first place. Extra special mention to Pete Lawrence for agreeing to let me interview him not once but twice on 1BTN in 2019 – it was a pleasure and an honour Sir and many of the tracks played on both those shows feature on this very Mixtape (both interviews can also be found on the 1BTN Mixcloud page by the way)

So here we are - I really hope my selection hits the spot with many of you Big Chillers out there – and with that takes you back to those heady hazy summer days and to those that weren’t there, I hope it gives you just a little taste of how special an event it really was.

Big Love & Big Hugs - Big Chillers - stay safe out there. " [[ Beatwell ]]

**Tracklisting - The Big Chill Edition **

1) Alucidnation – Beautiful House

A beautiful Big Chill anthem by Big Chill stalwart Bruce Bickerton. Evokes those hazy memories at the festivals first official home – The Larmer Tree Gardens in Wiltshire where Peacocks and Macaws roamed free in it’s stunning grounds.

2) Pan Electric – Rising Slowly

Possibly the highlight track chosen by Pete Lawrence when I interviewed him last year on 1BTN on the lead up to his event The Little Chill – totally majestic and an instant classic.

3) Nu-spirit Helsinki – Subzero

I can’t tell you enough how much I love this track from Finland’s finest Nu-spirit Helsinki – released on their one and only album – a criminally short career by one of the finest acts that ever graced the Nu-Jazz scene. Every track a killer – I saw them perfrom the album live as the sun went down at The Big Chill at Eastnor Castle in 2003.

4) Magnet – On Your Side

An amazing track by the amazing and underrated Norwegian singer-songwriter Magnet. The title track from his album By Your Side which I saw him perform live at The Big Chill in 2004. One of those rare artists that sounds exactly the same stage as they do on record.

5) Terry Callier – Love Theme From Spartacus (Zero 7 Remix)

A very special remix from a very special artist – the distinctive sounds Terry Callier given a re-lick by those kings of downtempo Zero 7. Hauntingly beautiful.

6) Troubleman feat Nina Miranda – Paz

Troubleman AKA Mark Pritchard - one half of Global Communication and The Jedi Knights and also one of my favourite producers of all time dropping stunningly cinematic Latin library grooves - released on his Time Out Of Mind album on Far Out Records from 2004 – killer LP.

7) Alice Russell feat Natureboy – Sweet Is The Air

A stunning summer time song by Brighton’s soul songstress Alice Russell – a gentle bossa-nova groover on the ever reliable Tru-Thoughts records.

8) Blue States – Your Girl

A wistfully blissful track from one of my favourite downtempo albums of all time – Blue States ‘Nothing Changes Under The Sun’ – every track on that album is sublime.

9) Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band – Never Come Closer

Another amazing track by another underrated but prolific Norwegian artists - Ralph Myerz and his Jack Herren Band. These guys really knew how to jam live on stage and witnessing them perform as the sun was going down behind the main stage with two drummers going at it was one of my all time Big Chill moments.

10) Fragile State – Hoop Dreams

Another downtempo act which emerged on the chill out scene and went on to cause a stir at many a Big Chill event – a joyful track from a brilliant album ‘The Facts and The Dreams’ by talented duo and top gents to boot Ben Mynott & Neil Cowley - another act that I was lucky enough to see in action live at The Big Chill.

11) Ty – I Want 2

I just had to include a track by one of my favourite UK Hip Hop artists and off one of my favourite UK Hip Hop albums - UK Hip Hop heavyweight TY – I Want 2 is a slab of soulful forward thinking Hip Hop that joins the dots between UK Rap, Soul and Nu-Jazz and to awesome effect.

12) Shur-i-kan – Generations

Super talented Deep House and Downtempo producer Tom ‘Shur-i-kan’ Szirtes bringing the midtempo magic on this slice of summertime soulful Nu-Jazz. Pure sunshine on wax.

13) Jimpster – 37’000ft

The UK Deep House Don Jamie ’Jimpster’ Odell taking things down a notch whilst keeping the vibes high on this life-affirming slow building beauty. Taken from his gloriously good Domestic Science LP.

14) Quantic – Not So Blue

Fellow West Midlander, Bewdley boy and worldwide talent Mr Will Holland bringing in seriously seductive and downright groovy and uplifting vibes on his track Not So Blue – taken from his classic and one of my favourite Quantic albums - Apricot Morning oon True-Thoughts Records.

15) Mr Scruff – Get A Move On

Well what can I say about this track? If there was one Big Chill anthem by one regular Big Chill artist to include on this Mixtape then Get A Move On by the world class talent that is Mr Scruff had to be the one. Some might say it’s a little obvious - but this is one track that sums up The Big Chill Festival perfectly – it’s also a track that perfectly picks up the pace for the final few selections of this Dusk Dubs edition.

16) Koop – Summer Sun (Markus Enochson Remix)

A luscious feel good slice of summer by the intriguing duo called Koop out of Sweden and who were signed to Jazzanova’s Compost Records out of Berlin. Given the groovy uptempo lick by the man like Markus Enochson.

17) RSL – Wesley Music

Keeping the tempo high and festival feel good vibes flowing, I just had to include this carnival-eque monster by House collective RSL – pure summertime flavours all the way and another act that I saw tear it up live at one of the early Big Chill Festivals at Eastnor Castle. Splendid stuff.

18) Mr Hermano – Free As The Morning Sun

Sticking with the gospel tinged flavours Free As The Morning Sun is another one of those tracks that never fails to put a smile upon your sun-kissed grill – a special track that reminds me of special times and sets up the penultimate tracks perfectly.

19) Nuyorican Soul feat Jocelyn Brown & Roy Ayers – Black Gold Of The Sun (4 Hero Remix)

Keeping things very much on a sun theme tip I just had to include this absolute genre defying belter from Nuyorican Soul and given the Marc Mac and Dego AKA 4 Hero treatment – is it gospel soul? Is it Drum & Bass? I have to say both and much much more - this for me goes down as one of the finest remixes of all time. ANTHEM.

20) 4 Hero – Les Fleur

Out of all the tracks I could of ended this Mixtape with – this had to be the one. Marc Mac & Dego AKA 4 Hero are back again and this time with their majestic and wonderous rendition of Minnie Riperton’s Les Fleur – as voted for by the 30’000 odd Big Chillers at the main stage of the 2007 festival as their favourite Big Chill track of all time - this made the choice as the finale a damn sight easier one too – and with that I’m out. Thank you for your ears good people.

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Marc Hype to the Dusk Dubs family.

With a career spanning almost 30 years, there’s no doubt Marc Hype is a sureshot party-rocker who represents a more eclectic view on Hip Hop & Funk from the very beginning. He started his DJ career, inspired by the late great Jam Master Jay, around 1988 and went through the several decades of hip hop with countless releases, tours and competitions like the German ITF Championships, which he won twice in 98 & 99.

During this time he collaborated and recorded with artists like the Juice Crew legend Masta Ace, Souls Of Mischief, Edo G., Zion I, Beat Junkies, DJ Z-Trip, Patrick Pulsinger, Killa Kela, Akrobatik & Mr. Lift to name a few. His solo-debut album “1973 * Recon“ became “Album of the month“ in Europe’s biggest Hip Hop Magazine JUICE in 2003.

In the year 2004 he met world class pianist Jim Dunloop in Berlin and quickly they began to collaborate on shows and production. His proven skills on the decks combined with the undisputed talent of Dunloop's key wizardry followed their first vinyl releases in 2005 on the infamous Milk Crate label, "The Antique Anthem", "Bombay Raw" & "Finale 74", which were very successful in the worldwide dj-circuit, followed by a cover version of Babe Ruth's "The Mexican" in 2006, which was dubbed by UK's Jazzman Gerald as "the" version to have.

In 2009 the album "Stamp out reality" was released on MPM Rec. which featured artists like the legendary Blowfly, Mr Complex, Flomega and Lady Daisey. On the remix tip they build a strong reputation with works for artists like All Good Funk Alliance, Deela, Kid Gusto, Tippa Irie or Danny Massure. Besides that he hosted several highly acclaimed event series like Rap History Berlin or the SoulClap! Tours in Germany & Asia.

Nowadays he’s travelling the world with his 45s bag as part of the Berlin/London/Hamburg based Dusty Donuts crew & label, as well as a member of the UK based international 45 Live DJ circle. Still spreading the original values of Hip Hop Culture and Crate Digging.

If you track his past tour schedule you can be sure of his proved ability to rock internationally with stops all over Europe as in USA, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Lebanon, Tunisia, United Arabian Emirates, Russia, Israel, India & Australia.

**Tracklisting**

1) Shirley Bassey - Light my fire

Shirley has one of the greatest voices for me. This song follows me from an early age on, when my mum used to play her album on our home stereo, up to the remix i’ve done with the human drum machine Killa Kella for the Battle of the Year soundtrack.

2) Katalyst - How bout us ft. Steve Spacek

One of my favorite producers, Katalyst from Australia, together with the genius Steve Spacek. Love his crunchy drum programming and the selection and flip of samples. Overseen for sure, but always on my radar.

3) Tenor Saw - Ring the Alarm

One of my digital reggae faves and best version on the Stalag Riddim. Remember hearing it allover the clubs in Berlin beginning of the 90s still.

4) Veronika Fischer & Günther Fischer - Schönhauser

I recorded the very first german funk & soul mixtape ever, together with my Partner in Crime Katmando, in 2003 and this was the opener. A tasty composition from the former GDR. The lyrics are about the Schönhauser Allee at night, one of the main streets of the district where im living.

5) Jungle Brothers - Straight out the Jungle

Back to the 1988, one of the best years in hip hop to me. When this album came out, it changed everything to me and my style formed a lot of their production style. The whole atmosphere catched me from the first seconds and never left. The use of Mandrill’s „Mango Meat“ plus the Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5’s „The Message“ in the chorus is just a magic combination.

6) School of Hard Knocks - Dirty cop named Harry

Up to the 90s. Always was a huge fan of Rakim, Big Daddy Kane & Guru. School of Hard Knocks whole album sounded like a best of merged version, one of the few you can listen through till today with no skipping. This track specially is storytelling at his best over Bill Withers „Who is he“. Alltime favourite!

7) Leena Conquest - Boundaries

This song captures the essence of the first half of the nineties for me. Austrian producers meeting NYC Jazz Singer and nailing it! Big underground floor filler back then!

8) Placebo - Humpty Dumpty

Holy grail of digging from 1971. Legendary belgian jazz pianist Marc Moulin lead the group and brought us some outstanding classics that stand the test of time.

9) DJ Shadow - The Number Song (Cut Chemist Remix)

Always been a fan of cut’n’paste tunes, like the ones from Steinski or Coldcut. Endtroducing from Dj Shadow is a milestone and this Remix by Cut Chemist brings the whole essence to the floor. Absolute masterpiece that i played to death in the second half of the 90s.

10) The Alliance - Action (Remix)

Also Berlin got his cut’n’paste masterpiece. The first generation of Hip Hop producers over here, The Alliance, put this stunning collage together. In the summer of 1989 there was no place in the city, where you could hide from this champion mix in perfect Latin Rascals tradition.

11) Jazzanova - Boom Clicky Boom Clack

When i started producing in 1992, i had an early mentor. Roskow, formerly from the early rap group Rock da Most, who had already a studio setup with an Emax 2 keyboard sampler as the heart. He was the first who showed me how to flip samples and breaks. Later he became one of the founding members of Jazzanova. This is one of my faves produced by him from the Jazzanova era, a floor shaker indeed!

12) Pete Rodriguez - I like it like that

NYC latin boogaloo at it’s finest. Grand tune from 1967 which never leaves my box for a proper latin selection, capturing perfectly the time shortly before hip hop was emerging.

13) Vicky D - This beat is mine

This early 80s boogie funk banger on SAM Records never dissapoints. One of those feel good songs that find the way into my boogie funk selections constantly.

14) James Brown - The Boss

No list would be appropriate without the gofather of funk, Mr. Dynamite. One of his alltime classics. Played and sampled to death, but with joy in the eyes. You can find the Dusty Donuts Edit from Naughty NMX & me on heavy rotation in my sets.

15) Al Wilson - The Snake

Usually i’m not deep into northern soul, but this 1968 nugget always catches me on the spot. The story gives you a live lesson while dancing the night away.

16) Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang (My baby shot me down)

The beauty of Nancy’s cover from Cher is a undisputed essence of the 60s.

17) Alice Russell - Crazy

Alice is on top of my UK soul singers list . Her cover of Gnarls Barkley’s „Crazy“ is just breathtaking and a perfect example of how you can take a composition and make it your own. Played it uncountable times as the last song of the night.]]>

**Tracklisting**

1) Shirley Bassey - Light my fire

Shirley has one of the greatest voices for me. This song follows me from an early age on, when my mum used to play her album on our home stereo, up to the remix i’ve done with the human drum machine Killa Kella for the Battle of the Year soundtrack.

2) Katalyst - How bout us ft. Steve Spacek

One of my favorite producers, Katalyst from Australia, together with the genius Steve Spacek. Love his crunchy drum programming and the selection and flip of samples. Overseen for sure, but always on my radar.

3) Tenor Saw - Ring the Alarm

One of my digital reggae faves and best version on the Stalag Riddim. Remember hearing it allover the clubs in Berlin beginning of the 90s still.

4) Veronika Fischer & Günther Fischer - Schönhauser

I recorded the very first german funk & soul mixtape ever, together with my Partner in Crime Katmando, in 2003 and this was the opener. A tasty composition from the former GDR. The lyrics are about the Schönhauser Allee at night, one of the main streets of the district where im living.

5) Jungle Brothers - Straight out the Jungle

Back to the 1988, one of the best years in hip hop to me. When this album came out, it changed everything to me and my style formed a lot of their production style. The whole atmosphere catched me from the first seconds and never left. The use of Mandrill’s „Mango Meat“ plus the Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5’s „The Message“ in the chorus is just a magic combination.

6) School of Hard Knocks - Dirty cop named Harry

Up to the 90s. Always was a huge fan of Rakim, Big Daddy Kane & Guru. School of Hard Knocks whole album sounded like a best of merged version, one of the few you can listen through till today with no skipping. This track specially is storytelling at his best over Bill Withers „Who is he“. Alltime favourite!

7) Leena Conquest - Boundaries

This song captures the essence of the first half of the nineties for me. Austrian producers meeting NYC Jazz Singer and nailing it! Big underground floor filler back then!

8) Placebo - Humpty Dumpty

Holy grail of digging from 1971. Legendary belgian jazz pianist Marc Moulin lead the group and brought us some outstanding classics that stand the test of time.

9) DJ Shadow - The Number Song (Cut Chemist Remix)

Always been a fan of cut’n’paste tunes, like the ones from Steinski or Coldcut. Endtroducing from Dj Shadow is a milestone and this Remix by Cut Chemist brings the whole essence to the floor. Absolute masterpiece that i played to death in the second half of the 90s.

10) The Alliance - Action (Remix)

Also Berlin got his cut’n’paste masterpiece. The first generation of Hip Hop producers over here, The Alliance, put this stunning collage together. In the summer of 1989 there was no place in the city, where you could hide from this champion mix in perfect Latin Rascals tradition.

11) Jazzanova - Boom Clicky Boom Clack

When i started producing in 1992, i had an early mentor. Roskow, formerly from the early rap group Rock da Most, who had already a studio setup with an Emax 2 keyboard sampler as the heart. He was the first who showed me how to flip samples and breaks. Later he became one of the founding members of Jazzanova. This is one of my faves produced by him from the Jazzanova era, a floor shaker indeed!

12) Pete Rodriguez - I like it like that

NYC latin boogaloo at it’s finest. Grand tune from 1967 which never leaves my box for a proper latin selection, capturing perfectly the time shortly before hip hop was emerging.

13) Vicky D - This beat is mine

This early 80s boogie funk banger on SAM Records never dissapoints. One of those feel good songs that find the way into my boogie funk selections constantly.

14) James Brown - The Boss

No list would be appropriate without the gofather of funk, Mr. Dynamite. One of his alltime classics. Played and sampled to death, but with joy in the eyes. You can find the Dusty Donuts Edit from Naughty NMX & me on heavy rotation in my sets.

15) Al Wilson - The Snake

Usually i’m not deep into northern soul, but this 1968 nugget always catches me on the spot. The story gives you a live lesson while dancing the night away.

16) Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang (My baby shot me down)

The beauty of Nancy’s cover from Cher is a undisputed essence of the 60s.

17) Alice Russell - Crazy

Alice is on top of my UK soul singers list . Her cover of Gnarls Barkley’s „Crazy“ is just breathtaking and a perfect example of how you can take a composition and make it your own. Played it uncountable times as the last song of the night.]]> 4630256 no no Sun, 26 Apr 2020 10:00:13 +0200 2020-04-26T10:00:13+02:00 1:11:12 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0629-dusk-dubs-steve-e-wonder/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome DJ Steve E Wonder to the Dusk Dubs family.

"Well here it goes I was asked by Dusk Dubs (some many months ago) to compile a mix of non- rave related tunes that influenced my musical journey as a DJ.I felt very honoured and humbled to be asked for Dusk Dubs to compile this and join the other great Dj’s who have contributed. I thought easy, this won’t take long, how wrong was i. From a very young age I was always into music and I remember in my teens seeing scratch DJ’s doing their thing and thought I’d love to do that but I couldn’t scratch for toffee.

In the mid-eighties I was into electro and hip hop and loved it and would spend all my saved monies to get them. I left school and starting working and again would spend my hard earned cash buying vinyl’s often with trips to my local record store Spinadisc in Northampton to buy all the hip hop I could get and in the years to come venturing out to Leicester and London to buy the beloved vinyl’s. Back then I wasn’t even a dj just more of a record collector. I used to go to a lot of World DMC finals to watch and listen to the djs scratching all the hip hop beats I loved it.

I think it was about 89 when something just clicked and I was introduced to the acid house scene in fact I think the whole country was I remember going to my first rave and the djs weren’t really scratching but they was mixing records I looked up and thought that is it, that’s what I want to do and started my journey into the rave scene and buying this type of music . I had no idea what any of the records were called or the artists but I was hooked. I remember we would drive down to London at night and listen to the Pirate stations to get the names of the tracks then spend all day trawling around the record shops to get these tunes I remember I would have my little pile of rave tunes and wanted to mix but didn’t even know how I remember thinking I’ll ask if I can bring my records to play them but never really had the bottle to ask. I then ventured into my raving years travelling up and down the country to all the big raves and going to my local Milwaukee’s where one week would be ESP and one week would be Helter Skelter. I used to go record shopping and id get talking to some of these djs that were playing standing at the front of the raves looking over trying to get a glimpse of the titles of these tunes which worked very well made some good mates and eventually ending up getting some decks. Now they weren’t technics but just decks with some pitches on and I would spend hours practising til I eventually thought that’s it I can do it. Played at a few illegal raves in fields on lorry trailers and eventually getting a great collection. There was a big night coming up at Milwaukee’s and I remember I used to always ask the owner if I could play a set and eventually he said do you want to come and open up for us? of course I had to think about it for about 2 seconds and say of course and after that my name started to appear on the flyers and I got more and more work with my name on flyers I was buzzing playing with the cream of the UK’s rave scene. Dj producers would send me vinyl’s out I ended up on quite a few mailing lists, guys who worked in record shops would sort me out with the latest promos and TPs and then it was the birth of the Jungle scene and that’s the way I went and have done ever since .

However 95% of my bookings these days are always for my old skool sets I have great memories and passion for that era of music and feel very blessed to have been part of it. 30 years later and I’m still playing out and have known a lot of the top djs for nearly 25 years + it’s been a great journey. So to select tunes that have influenced me before the rave days is very tough as there are so many to be honest but here it goes."

The first record I actually bought was Freeze IOU on Streetwise Records in 1983 I used to play this to death on my HIFI and was defiantly the start of my musical journey so we shall start with this.

**Tracklisting**

1) Freeze - IOU
2) Nu Shooz – I can’t wait
3) Kraftwork – Tour De france
4) Newcleus – Jam on it
5) Hashim – Al Naafiysh

19) Eric B & Rakim - Paid in Full
20) London Posse – Money Mad
21) The 45 King – The 900 Number
22) Sugar Bear – Don’t scandalize mine

Well hopefully this selection of tunes will bring the memories flooding back, I could have picked loads but narrowed it down to this selection of some of my favourites. It’s very hard as a rave dj not to jump into the rave scene, but we really would have been here for hours and I’ve tried to keep it away from just hip hop but as you can see the 80’s really influenced me. This was my youth so hip hop electro just had to be a part of it. Special thanks to Jon for asking me to compile this sorry its took so long but it really is a lot harder than it sounds and I hope you all enjoy.

**Tracklisting **

1) Crosby still and Nash - Helplessly Hoping
I grew up surrounded by music in a big family house in south of france where my parents used to do big parties, playing some classic rock and jazz from their vinyl collection of This timeless 1st album by Crosby Still & Nash, made in total symbiosis of love and friendship.. the first that introduced to the world of 70’s rock and pop the 3 part harmonies songs.“Helplessly hoping” might have been one of my lullabies ( my parents was listening to it when i was 2 years old ) as each time i’m hearing it puts myself into a space of comfort and happiness.

2) David Bowie - Changes
I probably discovered this Album in 1983 when i was 6, and it became one of the first record to sing along reading the lyrics in the cd booklet. “Changes“ was a track i used to listen all the time.

3) Michael Franks - Don’t be blue
Michael Franks has been introduced by one of my mother’s friend and they were listening to “Sleeping gypsy” and “The Art Of tea” all the time. “Don’t be blue” - I always listened to this absolutely stunning pop jazz piece and i have not been surprised by reading it was produced by Tommy Li Puma with keys arranged by Joe Sample ( The crusaders ) and also some exquisite sax solos from David Sanborn

4) Sade - Nothing can come between us
Diamond Life, Promise & Stronger than Pride were the soundtracks of my childhood. played in the background all day in my Parents Restaurant called “ La voile Bleue” on the sea front in Sète.

That was the era when we were listening to Albums all the way through. I picked this one up because of this infectious bass line and funky groove in it. The quality of production is outstanding too and of course the genius sade’s songwriting bringing together beautiful harmonies and deep words.

5) Prince - Housequake
Sign of the times was the introduction to double CD’s Album ! Really hard to pick a song from this masterpiece.

Housequake did that funky hearthquake in my body and in my brain , with that musical finesse prince can only do, putting on the table this powerful mix of new jack, rap, funk, dance breaker tune !

6) Led Zeppelin - Bron-Y-aur Stomp
Here we are in my glorious teenage time, watching the film/ Concert/ Documentary “The Song Remains the Same Live at Madison Square Garden” almost every week end !

With all my mates blown away by the power of this supergroup. The Robert Plant voice was electrifying, Jimmy Page guitar out of this world, John Bonham drums So innovative and Bigger than you ever experienced and supported byJohn Paul Jones groove and perfect musicality.

Bron-Y-aur Stomp got that native american vibe mixed with some country guitar licks and strummed power chords. This track could be what Led Zep would play around a Bonfire in a hippie festival summer Jam.

7) Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4
My best friend Florian introduced me to Chicago when we were around our 20’s. It was a absolute joy to listen to this incredible horn section and jazz arrangements on top of the rawness of one of the best 70’s rock band. Chicago I, II & III were our favorites.

25 or 6 to 4 written by founding members Robert Lamm and with the incredible Peter Cetera vocal performance.

8) Herbie Hancock - Spider
Post teenage time, it’s time to get into some sophisticated Herbie grooves. There was no week-ends without listening to headhunters and having fun and getting hi with the music.

Spider was the perfect combination of funk, afro, jazz and synthesizers. Something that keeps influencing my productions and compositions.

9) Chic Corea: Spanish Heart Fantasy PT.4
Still with my best mate Flo exploring that fusion jazz era. And whao we’ve been transported by all those terrific musicians composers and arrangers alike Chick corea, Stanley Clark, Weather report etc …

Listening to this Album right now as i’m doing the selection, and just forgot how i love this Album. Probably one of my favorite record so far. Everything that i love in instrumentation is in it.

And my later passion for the latin world was already there.
Spanish Heart Fantasy Pt4 is just perfect. An intense and beautiful piece of art combining Jazz, spanish scales, cuban grooves, classical piano, futuristic synths and beyond.

Listening to the whole Album is a strong musical experience.

10) Jamiroquai - Journey To Arnhemland
Jamiroquai ( Emergency on Planet earth ) was also in the daily rotation at my parents joint during this summer in 1993.
Probably really interested by what’s new and all that sounded a bit different,

Jay kay caught my interest with his unique way of assembling didgeridoo, synthsisers, percussions,and poetry with some disco funk, soul and jazz arrangements.

"Journey To Arnhemland" is a like a ritual, an hypnotic dance coloured by some smooth melody lines in the B section that creates that beautiful contrast.

11) St Germain - What’s new
Now i’m 18 and that’s the time i discover House music. One of my sister’s old friend played some Louie Vega tapes to me. What a great moment 1995, to dive into the soulful sound of New York & Chicago house. They were bringing together the drum machines and the musicians, the techno meets the jazz, the disco and the soul. I was mesmerised.

So there was no doubt of what i wanted to do… Play and feel this music, the sound of the bass was driving my soul. So i asked my parents to buy some turntables and i started to learn how to mix records together.

"What’s new" was one of the first in my 12" inch collection. A tribute to all the legends of house, produced a pioneer of the french deep house - Ludovic Navarre.

12) Kerri Chandler Feat Arnold Jarvis - Inspiration
Kerri Chandler brought the gospel and spiritual house in my world. I also grew up with the Motown sound and all RnB classics so it was the moment where it came back to me in a modern way.

When i heard this music loud on big speakers for the first time i new i found something special.

So i organised some parties in my parents restaurant, and hired some "Turbo sounds" & "Funktion one" sound systems to have the full experience. Playing all the best house cuts i could find during the week. The dance floor went on until the sunrise with DJ’s like Rainer Truby, The K.O.T …

"Inspiration" reminds me how and when the love of house began to grow.

13) USG - Ncameu ( Body & Soul Vox Mix )
1999 - I moved to Paris to study sound engineering. Just started to make my own tracks and going deeper in the House sound as a Dj, playing some small gigs in bars, then I became resident at the top of pompidou Cente at “ Georges Restaurant”. Earning my life as a DJ and most of all having what i needed, some money to by new records.

So i was a regular customer to my friends’ shop “Da Groove” and “12 inch”, That's how i massively expanded my record collection. This Ron Trent production is one of my favourite from His USG project, he’s a master in the genre.

14) New Sector Movement - The Anthem - Download This
I can easily say that IG Culture Blew my mind with this project. 2001 and still in Paris and falling in love with the West London broken beat and future jazz scene. That’s when i made the connection between my jazz fusion background and my passion of underground and soulful electronic music. The Drum machines meet the musicians again but in a different way, the movement are different too. As in constant evolution i felt attracted by different beats. The syncopated rhythm creates a liberation in the dance and lead to explore different spaces.

"The Anthem" Opens this wonderful Album, With the Stevie wonderish vibe in Frank McComb vocal . Space jazzy Rhodes, Synths and vocoders by Frank too, joined by the mystical and Afro broken beat production from IG. This is a key milestone of my Music Evolution

15) DJ MItsu The beat - Negative Ion ( Sa-Ra Remix )
I can see a logical connection from the west london sound to those Abstract and futuristic hip hop beats.

Negative Ion could be a broken tune but slowed down with some wonky shuffle drums. I remember being killed at Plastic People club, when IG dropped that SA-Ra remix of DJ Mitsu the beat at the end of his set, I went mad.

16) J Dilla feat Talib Kwely - Raw Shit
I always loved Hip hop and the fact that producers use their MPC samplers like wizards, digging the best loop to transport them into a whole new territory.

Of Course J Dilla is the genius of this last 2 decades to have mastered that art.,

What i love in his music is that you can feel the techno and the influence of Detroit in the sounds he chooses.

In" Raw Shit" a lot of querky sounds and deep pads, that lifts this real New York style rap tune into Space.

17) Fonda Rae - Over Like a Fat Rat:
2006 still Dj resident in Paris and starting to get into the Disco Classic and Boogie sound of Burgess, Patrick Adams. So going back to some 4/4 grooves, mixing then with house tunes to create that connection with the origins.

That Fonda Rae Tune is definitely one of the first track that created that addiction to those Leroy arrangement.

18) Bumblebee unlimited - I Love You
Leroy Burgess, Patrick adams again but with the freaky & Cosmic Greg Carmichael.

I can’t say anything more than i just love everything in this tune !

19) Edu Lobo - Zanzibar
In my childhood of course the Bossa Nova classics from Vinicus de Moraes, Carlos Jobim and Stan Getz were really present but when i heard Edu Lobo it created something special, another level of emotion.

Rhythm pulsation in Zanzibar plus this fantastic melody and chord arrangement makes me wanna move dance and sing all the time i’m listening to it. Pure Joy.

20) Ray Barretto - Oye La noticia
I thought for long time that Salsa tunes were all the same. Until i listened to Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmieri, Mongo Santamaria and all the Fania All Stars. I’ve started to play congas with a Master in Paris ( Orlando Poleo ) in 2005 for almost 9 years. So i could transcribes all the codes and understand the richness of the afro Latin music family. All the influences from African rhythm in this music is insane. Now it has a important part in my productions.

This track, from his absolute classic Album “Power”, is a essential one to all the “New York/ Puerto Rican” Salsa aficionados. Listen to the The sound of his hands hitting the skins in the solo part. It’s no joke.

21) Ry Cooder - Paris Texas
Listening to new music has mostly been related to the instruments i was playing. I discovered this incredible instrument called the weissenborn ( an acoustic lapsteel guitar) in 1994 with Ben Harper 1st Album, without realising maybe one day i’m gonna play some.

It’s only in 2012 that i bought one and started to discover a whole new world of sound.

Taken from the movie of the same name “Paris Texas” is a pure road movie ambient blues, that travels through space and time. I found also interesting that Ry Cooder produced the Buena Vista Social Club Album so a hidden connection with the Cuban music.

22) Kelly Joe Phelps - Doxology
After a few month of digging some new artists in the Acoustic Slide guitar world, i found this guy, Kelly Joe phelps and read he was considered as one of the 20 guitar heroes.

Kelly also He has a lots of album singing, playing his acoustic slide like no one else.

"Doxology" is a pure moment of peace, something i love to listen and play to connect with my essence.

23) Brian Eno - Weightless
it’s only a couple of years ago ( 2015 ) when i moved to UK, i used some modular synths in my music so obviously i connected with ambiant music and then i found the endless Brian Eno collection.

"Weightless" was a perfect to introduce his world to me, having some pedal steel guitars in it.

Slide guitar and synthesizers, all what I dreamed of !]]>

**Tracklisting **

1) Crosby still and Nash - Helplessly Hoping
I grew up surrounded by music in a big family house in south of france where my parents used to do big parties, playing some classic rock and jazz from their vinyl collection of This timeless 1st album by Crosby Still & Nash, made in total symbiosis of love and friendship.. the first that introduced to the world of 70’s rock and pop the 3 part harmonies songs.“Helplessly hoping” might have been one of my lullabies ( my parents was listening to it when i was 2 years old ) as each time i’m hearing it puts myself into a space of comfort and happiness.

2) David Bowie - Changes
I probably discovered this Album in 1983 when i was 6, and it became one of the first record to sing along reading the lyrics in the cd booklet. “Changes“ was a track i used to listen all the time.

3) Michael Franks - Don’t be blue
Michael Franks has been introduced by one of my mother’s friend and they were listening to “Sleeping gypsy” and “The Art Of tea” all the time. “Don’t be blue” - I always listened to this absolutely stunning pop jazz piece and i have not been surprised by reading it was produced by Tommy Li Puma with keys arranged by Joe Sample ( The crusaders ) and also some exquisite sax solos from David Sanborn

4) Sade - Nothing can come between us
Diamond Life, Promise & Stronger than Pride were the soundtracks of my childhood. played in the background all day in my Parents Restaurant called “ La voile Bleue” on the sea front in Sète.

That was the era when we were listening to Albums all the way through. I picked this one up because of this infectious bass line and funky groove in it. The quality of production is outstanding too and of course the genius sade’s songwriting bringing together beautiful harmonies and deep words.

5) Prince - Housequake
Sign of the times was the introduction to double CD’s Album ! Really hard to pick a song from this masterpiece.

Housequake did that funky hearthquake in my body and in my brain , with that musical finesse prince can only do, putting on the table this powerful mix of new jack, rap, funk, dance breaker tune !

6) Led Zeppelin - Bron-Y-aur Stomp
Here we are in my glorious teenage time, watching the film/ Concert/ Documentary “The Song Remains the Same Live at Madison Square Garden” almost every week end !

With all my mates blown away by the power of this supergroup. The Robert Plant voice was electrifying, Jimmy Page guitar out of this world, John Bonham drums So innovative and Bigger than you ever experienced and supported byJohn Paul Jones groove and perfect musicality.

Bron-Y-aur Stomp got that native american vibe mixed with some country guitar licks and strummed power chords. This track could be what Led Zep would play around a Bonfire in a hippie festival summer Jam.

7) Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4
My best friend Florian introduced me to Chicago when we were around our 20’s. It was a absolute joy to listen to this incredible horn section and jazz arrangements on top of the rawness of one of the best 70’s rock band. Chicago I, II & III were our favorites.

25 or 6 to 4 written by founding members Robert Lamm and with the incredible Peter Cetera vocal performance.

8) Herbie Hancock - Spider
Post teenage time, it’s time to get into some sophisticated Herbie grooves. There was no week-ends without listening to headhunters and having fun and getting hi with the music.

Spider was the perfect combination of funk, afro, jazz and synthesizers. Something that keeps influencing my productions and compositions.

9) Chic Corea: Spanish Heart Fantasy PT.4
Still with my best mate Flo exploring that fusion jazz era. And whao we’ve been transported by all those terrific musicians composers and arrangers alike Chick corea, Stanley Clark, Weather report etc …

Listening to this Album right now as i’m doing the selection, and just forgot how i love this Album. Probably one of my favorite record so far. Everything that i love in instrumentation is in it.

And my later passion for the latin world was already there.
Spanish Heart Fantasy Pt4 is just perfect. An intense and beautiful piece of art combining Jazz, spanish scales, cuban grooves, classical piano, futuristic synths and beyond.

Listening to the whole Album is a strong musical experience.

10) Jamiroquai - Journey To Arnhemland
Jamiroquai ( Emergency on Planet earth ) was also in the daily rotation at my parents joint during this summer in 1993.
Probably really interested by what’s new and all that sounded a bit different,

Jay kay caught my interest with his unique way of assembling didgeridoo, synthsisers, percussions,and poetry with some disco funk, soul and jazz arrangements.

"Journey To Arnhemland" is a like a ritual, an hypnotic dance coloured by some smooth melody lines in the B section that creates that beautiful contrast.

11) St Germain - What’s new
Now i’m 18 and that’s the time i discover House music. One of my sister’s old friend played some Louie Vega tapes to me. What a great moment 1995, to dive into the soulful sound of New York & Chicago house. They were bringing together the drum machines and the musicians, the techno meets the jazz, the disco and the soul. I was mesmerised.

So there was no doubt of what i wanted to do… Play and feel this music, the sound of the bass was driving my soul. So i asked my parents to buy some turntables and i started to learn how to mix records together.

"What’s new" was one of the first in my 12" inch collection. A tribute to all the legends of house, produced a pioneer of the french deep house - Ludovic Navarre.

12) Kerri Chandler Feat Arnold Jarvis - Inspiration
Kerri Chandler brought the gospel and spiritual house in my world. I also grew up with the Motown sound and all RnB classics so it was the moment where it came back to me in a modern way.

When i heard this music loud on big speakers for the first time i new i found something special.

So i organised some parties in my parents restaurant, and hired some "Turbo sounds" & "Funktion one" sound systems to have the full experience. Playing all the best house cuts i could find during the week. The dance floor went on until the sunrise with DJ’s like Rainer Truby, The K.O.T …

"Inspiration" reminds me how and when the love of house began to grow.

13) USG - Ncameu ( Body & Soul Vox Mix )
1999 - I moved to Paris to study sound engineering. Just started to make my own tracks and going deeper in the House sound as a Dj, playing some small gigs in bars, then I became resident at the top of pompidou Cente at “ Georges Restaurant”. Earning my life as a DJ and most of all having what i needed, some money to by new records.

So i was a regular customer to my friends’ shop “Da Groove” and “12 inch”, That's how i massively expanded my record collection. This Ron Trent production is one of my favourite from His USG project, he’s a master in the genre.

14) New Sector Movement - The Anthem - Download This
I can easily say that IG Culture Blew my mind with this project. 2001 and still in Paris and falling in love with the West London broken beat and future jazz scene. That’s when i made the connection between my jazz fusion background and my passion of underground and soulful electronic music. The Drum machines meet the musicians again but in a different way, the movement are different too. As in constant evolution i felt attracted by different beats. The syncopated rhythm creates a liberation in the dance and lead to explore different spaces.

"The Anthem" Opens this wonderful Album, With the Stevie wonderish vibe in Frank McComb vocal . Space jazzy Rhodes, Synths and vocoders by Frank too, joined by the mystical and Afro broken beat production from IG. This is a key milestone of my Music Evolution

15) DJ MItsu The beat - Negative Ion ( Sa-Ra Remix )
I can see a logical connection from the west london sound to those Abstract and futuristic hip hop beats.

Negative Ion could be a broken tune but slowed down with some wonky shuffle drums. I remember being killed at Plastic People club, when IG dropped that SA-Ra remix of DJ Mitsu the beat at the end of his set, I went mad.

16) J Dilla feat Talib Kwely - Raw Shit
I always loved Hip hop and the fact that producers use their MPC samplers like wizards, digging the best loop to transport them into a whole new territory.

Of Course J Dilla is the genius of this last 2 decades to have mastered that art.,

What i love in his music is that you can feel the techno and the influence of Detroit in the sounds he chooses.

In" Raw Shit" a lot of querky sounds and deep pads, that lifts this real New York style rap tune into Space.

17) Fonda Rae - Over Like a Fat Rat:
2006 still Dj resident in Paris and starting to get into the Disco Classic and Boogie sound of Burgess, Patrick Adams. So going back to some 4/4 grooves, mixing then with house tunes to create that connection with the origins.

That Fonda Rae Tune is definitely one of the first track that created that addiction to those Leroy arrangement.

18) Bumblebee unlimited - I Love You
Leroy Burgess, Patrick adams again but with the freaky & Cosmic Greg Carmichael.

I can’t say anything more than i just love everything in this tune !

19) Edu Lobo - Zanzibar
In my childhood of course the Bossa Nova classics from Vinicus de Moraes, Carlos Jobim and Stan Getz were really present but when i heard Edu Lobo it created something special, another level of emotion.

Rhythm pulsation in Zanzibar plus this fantastic melody and chord arrangement makes me wanna move dance and sing all the time i’m listening to it. Pure Joy.

20) Ray Barretto - Oye La noticia
I thought for long time that Salsa tunes were all the same. Until i listened to Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmieri, Mongo Santamaria and all the Fania All Stars. I’ve started to play congas with a Master in Paris ( Orlando Poleo ) in 2005 for almost 9 years. So i could transcribes all the codes and understand the richness of the afro Latin music family. All the influences from African rhythm in this music is insane. Now it has a important part in my productions.

This track, from his absolute classic Album “Power”, is a essential one to all the “New York/ Puerto Rican” Salsa aficionados. Listen to the The sound of his hands hitting the skins in the solo part. It’s no joke.

21) Ry Cooder - Paris Texas
Listening to new music has mostly been related to the instruments i was playing. I discovered this incredible instrument called the weissenborn ( an acoustic lapsteel guitar) in 1994 with Ben Harper 1st Album, without realising maybe one day i’m gonna play some.

It’s only in 2012 that i bought one and started to discover a whole new world of sound.

Taken from the movie of the same name “Paris Texas” is a pure road movie ambient blues, that travels through space and time. I found also interesting that Ry Cooder produced the Buena Vista Social Club Album so a hidden connection with the Cuban music.

22) Kelly Joe Phelps - Doxology
After a few month of digging some new artists in the Acoustic Slide guitar world, i found this guy, Kelly Joe phelps and read he was considered as one of the 20 guitar heroes.

Kelly also He has a lots of album singing, playing his acoustic slide like no one else.

"Doxology" is a pure moment of peace, something i love to listen and play to connect with my essence.

23) Brian Eno - Weightless
it’s only a couple of years ago ( 2015 ) when i moved to UK, i used some modular synths in my music so obviously i connected with ambiant music and then i found the endless Brian Eno collection.

"Weightless" was a perfect to introduce his world to me, having some pedal steel guitars in it.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Fluidnation aka Ben Mynott to the Dusk Dubs family.

Ben Mynott, a DJ/Producer/Radio Broadcaster/Album Compiler/Music Consultant has released over 30 albums selling over 250,000 records in the process. His Fluidnation radio shows on Chill Radio (DAB) clocked in over 80,000 weekly listeners (and many many more Online) whilst his radio shows for Fire Radio were firm favourites with listeners on the UK's South Coast. Mynott's highly acclaimed Chillout Lounge albums for the iLabel have been hugely popular and big sellers with his Fluidnation fanbase.

Ben Mynott was one half of the Chillout duo Fragile State with Neil Cowley and London's Quiet Riot released the duo's first recording, Nocturnal Beats, on vinyl which led Muzik Magazine to tip the duo as 'the next big British thing'.

Bar De Lune released Fragile State's debut album, The Facts And The Dreams, in October 2002, as a CD, and, with Hoop Dreams, as a 5" and a 12".

In 2004, following the highly acclaimed The Facts And The Dreams, the duo released their sophomore set Voices of the Dustbowl which went straight into the UK Indie Album chart at Number 5 and into the UK Dance Chart at Number 3 - only behind Air and Zero 7 who by fluke all released their albums in the same week!!

BBC Music described it an album of "bucolic impressions and beguiling dream-inducing electronica, electing not to be a Xerox of their debut, but a worthy adversary. It's that which may similarly see it being crowned as an Album of the Year".

The single "Every Day A Story", remix with 4Hero, major UK act, was released in September, 2003. This was followed in October, 2003, by the duo's first ever UK tour, sponsored by the UK/worldwide fashion company, Fred Perry.

Fragile State's laid back grooves and contemporary chillage continue to successfully permeate the UK music scene.

Ben works as a music consultant and designer and has a host of radio shows currently on 1BTN, Brighton, Soho Radio in London and Totally Wired Radio.

**Tracklisting **

1) Brian Eno - Ascent (An Ending)
Where to start? A beautiful track. A truly beautiful track. This is as close to musical perfection as it gets.

2) Jon Hopkins – Nightjar
Jon, for me, is one of the most talented people in music. I spent some time with him over the years as I used to work for for his first record label. He's well aware of how I feel about his work as I tell him at every opportunity. Pretty much everything he does is flawless. The production is absolutely incredible. He's also a wonderful human being. I love the way this track builds and the electronic music gets taken over by the beautiful piano. Jon really is a genius.

3) Ólafur Arnalds - re:member
Another modern day genius. I really don't say that lightly by the way. It is a term too often branded about. In this case it's very much deserved. I first came across Ólafur's music around 12 years ago when he was just starting out and had signed to Erased Tapes. I managed to see him live where I was one of about only 10-12 people in a recital room that he played a concert in. How he's grown in that time as an artist is just astonishing. Ólafur's success has also opened the door for many other classical pianists and composers and he's just as happy to share his knowledge and his stage with the others as he is to have the stage to himself.

4) Marconi Union – Sleeper
This blows me away. Totally blows me away, every time I hear it. It's the opening track to the 'Ghost Stations' album from the Manchester-based trio. The album is fantastic and is one of the most underrated electronic albums of the last few years. For me personally, it's one of the best electronic albums of all time. I can't recommend it highly enough.

5) Echaskech - On Your Mind
Another artist from the Just Music record label. This track is taken from their debut album, I believe, 'Shatterproof'. It's a track that has always stayed with me and brings back so many memories of the Big Chill festival days. I don't think I've played many sets at festivals over the years where Echaskech's music hasn't featured in some way.

6) Future Sound Of London – Cascade
Still sounds amazing. Always has done, Always will. Stunning stunning track.

7) Rabbit In The Moon - Out Of Body Experience
I remember hearing this around the clubs in London bank in the day and absolutely loved it. I didn't know it what it was called and then it turned up on the Sasha and John Digweed 'Northern Exposure' album. Love it.

8) Bicep – Glue
Bicep are incredible. Their album absolutely shone. 'Glue' is a track that takes me back to the heady days of the 90's but it sounds like the 90's have been given a real upgrade. What makes me love this even more is that my 10-year-old Son is massively into this track as well which gives me hope for the future.

9) Luomo – Tessio
Vladislav Delay or Luomo. Whichever production head Sasu Ripatti has on, he usually nails it. 'Tessio' still sounds amazing. It's a beautifully hypnotic track that gets right inside your head. The Finnish producer is an absolute Gent too.

10) Aim - Phantasm (Original Mix)
I first heard this track when it was played to me when I was working for a record label in Chobham in Surrey. I missed the initial availability of the vinyl and spent ages trying to hunt it down before Stuart, one of the label managers, found it and bought me a copy. Aim at his very very best.

11) Lamb – Gorecki
I've always been a huge fan of these guys. I've always loved their take on electronic music. Lou's voice is angelic and it was a real toss-up between this track 'Gorecki', or 'Gabriel'. 'Gabriel' was the song we had for our first dance at our, Vicky's (Mrs Fluidnation) and my Wedding. But 'Gorecki' is probably the track that I've played more out and it is a little slice of wonder.

12) Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
TUNE !

13) Malcolm McLaren - Paris Paris
'Paris Paris' is a track taken from Malcolm McLaren's album 'Paris'. I've spent so much time over the years listening to this album. It's kind of like a smoked jazz club themed album all revolving around Paris. Malcolm McLaren's love for the place is just so obvious and it's a really nice album.

14) Sebastien Tellier - La Ritournelle
When I first heard this track I had to pull over in my car and I wept a the little bit. The way the piano builds on this is amazing and it keeps your attention without getting over repetitive. It hits all right notes and when it ends with the line "Love is to share / Mine is for you" that just about finished me off.

15) Mazzy Star - Fade Into You
Hope delivers a flawless vocal on a timeless track. It's a song that never fails to move me.

16) Michael Kiwanuka - Solid Ground
Back to current day, Michael's 'Kiwanuka' album was my album of the year last year. It's an album that deserves all the plaudits it gets and your total attention.

17) Marvin Gaye - What's Happening Brother
I spend every day listening to music and every day I'm in pursuit of musical perfection. Every day I wonder, 'will I ever hear an album as good as Marvin's 'What's Going On' album again'? Probably my most listened to album of all time, certainly my favourite. The issues Marvin sings about here are just as applicable now as they were over 50 years ago when he wrote them. It just shows how ahead of his time he was. A truly incredible artist. ICON.

18) Kate Bush - Moments Of Pleasure
To one of of my favourite pieces ever. Kate is probably my favourite artist of all time and this song is beautiful. No one could do this like Kate does. She's a national treasure. Her freedom and expression as an artist is so refreshing. I'm a bit obsessed if I'm honest. ICON

19) Carter USM - The Impossible Dream
I must've seen these guys about 20 times over the years and in my yoof so I couldn't ignore them here. This is a great cover of a huge song.

20) Flowered Up - Weekender
'You're barmy you are staying out all hours. Oh don't worry I ain't gonna turn into a pumpkin am I!'
This track takes me back to a happy place. I was a big Flowered Up fan and remember the video, with Anna Haigh in it ("What are you thinking?" / "Absolutely nothing") and waiting about 5 months for it to arrive after ordering it from WH Smiths on VHS. It sums up perfectly the daily grind and how we all live for the Weekend. It ends with "Make sure whatever you do, it makes you happy".

I must've seen these guys about 20 times over the years and in my yoof so I couldn't ignore them here. This is a great cover of a huge song.

20) Flowered Up - Weekender
'You're barmy you are staying out all hours. Oh don't worry I ain't gonna turn into a pumpkin am I!'
This track takes me back to a happy place. I was a big Flowered Up fan and remember the video, with Anna Haigh in it ("What are you thinking?" / "Absolutely nothing") and waiting about 5 months for it to arrive after ordering it from WH Smiths on VHS. It sums up perfectly the daily grind and how we all live for the Weekend. It ends with "Make sure whatever you do, it makes you happy".

Word. Ben Mynott

**Tracklisting**

1) Kenny Lynch - Never Stop Me Loving You (1963)
A family fav from London's radio stations the first man of colour on tv and film as a child I saw, who had the same accent as I.... fascinating..

2) The Charms – Hill And Gully (1964)
In my early years as a child, records that were familiar and brought over by my parents, this was a staple for family gatherings.

3) Lee Perry and the Soulettes - Please Don't Go (1965)
This R'ock Steady' groove lwas ater to be embraced by Mods in England, i was to find out later on in my school years.

4) Derrick Harriot - Walk the streets (1967)
Many Caribbean's 'Rock Steady' and 'Reggae' tracks were covers of old Country and Western and American Rock and Roll tracks, this one being re-sung after made famous by Pasty Klines crossover into our house due to early Radio 1.

5) Archies - Sugar Sugar (1969)
A firm family fav, that I remember mum belting out a lot of English records....another crossover into our house due to early Radio 1.

6) Dramatics - What You See Is What You Get  (1971)
Out of shorts and into long pants, I started to collect Deep Soul funk from US and targeting certain record labels to get my fix.

7) Aretha Franklin - Rock Steady (1971)
The first of what would become rare grooves later on in my life by Aretha 'The Queen of Soul'.... venturing out to find where they played this music at gatherings was my next aim, it was to become very challenging.

8) Staple Singers – I’ll Take You There (1972)
This was a church song, sang by minsters of the gospel, a place where young black immigrant families came
together for safety and community.... uplifting mum called it. I hated it but the music made it easier to suppress my urge to explore outside of my parent watchful eyes .

9) JB’s – Give Me Some More (1972)
A track that was a hit in secondary school where people use to hangout in the playground and show each other family dance moves and exchange experiences outside of the family confinement. It was here that the elder boys and girls would tell me about clubland located in downtown rundown areas called shebeens illegal (House Parties) a mixture of all music in one setting ..

10) Foster Sylvers – Misdemeanor (1973)
Rare groove collection coming along strong, finding the U.S. record catalogue now to choose what I needed from the safety of home, fully supported by Mum of course, I had picked up her influence and she knew it..

11) Roy Ayers – Life Is Just A Moment (1975)
Roys Ubiquity LP was ordered and it was going to become my prize possession, I didn't have a clue, i just knew it was as usual different from the rest - later it would sell for £300 in 1998.

12) Blackbyrds - Dreaming About You (1977)
Roy Ayers and James Brown were the "go to" tracks, as I had no experience on how anyone else reacted to it, it was time to venture out..

13) Paulino Decosta – Déjà Vu (1979)
It was the late 70's for me, Disco was a powerful distraction and my first experience was bunking off school and going to Crackers to hear George Power and a very young Paul 'Trouble' Anderson, who would later become a very good friend. Daytime in the West End, I hadn't even been to the qet end until then, turning my school blazer inside out and bringing a spare tee shirt, my club experience had started with live music.

14) George Duke – Brazilian Love Affair (1979)
After leaving school, sounds system and entertaining for me was the way forward, not being able to afford club prices very often it was time to try to mimic what i'd seen. I heard this track from the famous DJ Royalty - Froggy, the second person I noticed mixing live music.....I was captivated.

15) Michael Jackson – Get On The Floor (1979)
Rolling with older boys made clubbing a bit easier, playing the younger brother roll and becoming a jazz and soul dancer of very good merit I might add, always cool with the bouncers we were entertainers.

16) Motion – No Mans A Island (1980)
Following Froggy all around London and not even thinking about going further afield location wise, I got my education on mixing by one of the best in the business, mixing music on vinyl during the disco era and beyond was the hardest lesson to learn analogue live music.

17) Roy Ayers - Goree Island (1984)
The biggest thing to happen to UK radio, Micheal's 'Off The Wall' album, it was a great summer that year.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite back Joseph Malik alongside Digital Liquid aka Danny Walls to the Dusk Dubs family.

"So here we all are again Dusk Dubs, but this time I've brought back up for the “Stranger Things Have Happened Part 2” mixtape, myself and Danny Walls bringing in the new-skool track's, as we DJ as a team on Fridays at the Basement bar in Broughton Street, Edinburgh - the same area where I began Lizzard Lounge, plus my East Coast Project Studio. That's 20 years of history, and meeting Danny who is now my DJ partner for this mixtape and DJ nights at this legendary bar, we present this new mix to showcase all the styles we have up our sleeves many thanks to Jon Brent and the Dusk Dubs family, enjoy the journey and the VIP exclusive tracks, you won’t hear any where else in the world of music." [[ Joseph Malik ]]

**'Stranger Things Have happened Mixtape Part 2'**

**Joseph Malik Tracklisting**

1) Out of the Ordinary - Stranger things have happened Advert

On our journey of releasing the biggest album our city had ever seen, we presented 3 sell out shows @ The Voodoo rooms and I needed a cheeky wee advert jingle for radio, so I dug deep into my vault of brakes and beats and found the cheesy, but killer, Tommy Roe, Dizzy loop as Sampled by De La Soul plus many others. I’ve owned this 7 inch record snice I was ten years old, 2 copies looping back to back on elastic band turntables. No Technics magnetic belt drive Decks. It’s 1979 and my granny is yelling at me to turn the music down and my grand pops is shouting, “leave him hen, wee Joe is doing his music thing in his own wee world”. Its only now in my 50's that I’m reminded of my childhood music days due to my recent bond with my niece’s, Emily and Sammy, my drummer Danny’s kids. They made me laugh again, and reminded me not to be so serious. Hanging out with them in the garden and feeding the wee birds had a positive impact on my mental health and gave me a new sense of wonder, seeing the world through the eyes of this hopeful new generation.

2) The Easter Road Northern soul band - Save Leith Walk (Demo)

90 percent of the band live in Leith, and we felt duty bound to put down a battle cry for the album. with Saleem Ehwun on the beats with Stevie keys , Paulo , Big Kris all in this jam Session , sadly the demo didn’t make it past the final selection of what I wanted for the final tracks as the lead producer to choose for mix downs, but hold tight folks, there’s lots of unreleased studio nuggets on this mix, All exclusive, just for you and Dusk Dubs.

3) Out of the Ordinary / Meadows (Sliverback Lodge VIP Dub Mix)

I really want to make this clear, Id never have made this if not for our dearly departed Mr Andrew Weatherall. As a teenager, dancing the night away to his music in the Sub Club in the early 90's, he showed the way of mixing indie with electronic music, using a blend of house and hip hop that summed up our generation. Now they we had an anthem to get behind. I will never forget when Stuart and Orde from Slam dropped the super VIP white label of this for the 1st time at the Sub Club. It was a Scottish record and a truly big statement by Primal Scream, with Alan McGee backing them. It was our time and for the very 1st time I dreamed, as I danced that one day i would try and make music of this standard.

So when tasked with taking Scottish music into the modern age, I went back to that dream scape of being a teenager in the Subby, hearing the bagpipes, yes, fucking bagpipes! but more about that in the next track.

4) Primal Scream - Loaded (Andrew Weatherall Mix)

So yeah, if you listen, there’s bagpipes in the mix of loaded and that wee sparkle of a Scottish melody it really gives you goose bumps. I had the pleasure of telling Andy that when I met him last year for the 1st time through our mutual friend, Davie Miller from Fini Tribe. We spoke of our deep love for Ashley Beedle and his Wife Jo Wallace. We discussed the records we would play for their upcoming wedding and he told me he was deep into our track, Critical Point. He wanted to remix it, but to be honest, we spent more time talking about wedding songs we wanted to play for our soon to be wed best friends, Jo Wallace and Ashley Beedle. I just wish I had more time to talk to you and exchange knowledge over a cup of tea. We will all miss you Andrew Weatherall. You sir, are the sound track to our lives.

5) Checkmasses and Roseanne Erskine - Kind of Strange (Live @ The Voodoo Rooms Mix)

The thing about Leith is that it’s all interconnected, as everyone knows everyone, no matter what style of music. I’ve known Saleem Andrew McGoarty, aka Ewhun, aka, Awunsounds, snice 1988. He was my 1st DJ partner in many clubs across the city, plus we were both on the Mo wax Headz album with our 1st release, my brother in beats for life, during the 90's. Through Saleem, I also met Philly, and Vic Galloway. Many years on, they form a super group, Checkmasses, who I was delighted to include on the “Stranger things have happened” album, and to have them on stage with the full “Easter Road Northern Soul Band” plus the Bevvy sisters, with Philly and Roseanne on lead vocals. Vic Galloway on lead electric guitar blending with Greg Lawson on Violin, and our Band leader and arranger, Chris Greive, who made it all work live on the night. I won’t forget just turning round and giving Saleem a huge hug as it was a long hard journey to make an album of this scale. As I came off stage that night to a packed-out home crowd, Jo Wallace gave me a hug and just Said, “Kind of Strange”, next single, trust me! I always do, because somehow, Aunty Jo is always right.

6) Joseph Malik - Darkstar (Dusk Dubs VIP Mix)

This is a super VIP never to be released remix / re boot of “Inside In Outside Out”, the label and my publisher both hated it but I don’t care, if you don’t push the limits in music you won’t find out your next move as a song writer, producer, i will return to this idea later but with a female vocalist, I still love it, and this is an exclusive to Dusk Dubs for my music brother Jon Brent who along with many other's stood by me during my dark times, and now it’s time to pay back with a mixtape beyond what others do, with my gift of music

7) Little Dragon - Brush the Heat

Oh the stories of that gig with Koop from the Compost Records days in Portugal, I watched in wonder at just how good and important a performer Yukimi Nagano really is…. this vison of Billie Holiday. Then some years later under the name Little Dragon, I was fucking speechless watching her play live with the new band and in complete control as a front woman. It was there to see and we were lucky just to be in her presence, of a queen.

8) 4 Hero - Hold it down

Still a huge benchmark track of all time for me, I’ve spoken to Marc Mac a few times online but I’ve never met him. I lived in London for 7 years and inner city black London is tuff, with gangs running their own patch. To speak freely, I find a lot of London music very angry and pissed off all the time, when I heard this track, it was positive and took me back to the Young Disciples and the sense of hope moving forward I found in that music, but overall 4 hero paved the way for underground producers much like Massive Attack to walk into big studios with the string section and choir and deliver the goods, way beyond anything I hear coming out of the states, for some time now I really beleive in this country.... we are way ahead in new production idea's.

9) Linkwood – What’s Up With The Underground

I’m a super fanboy of the 3 EPs on Firecracker Records, I was there watching from the side lines at the birth of this uber cool label, run by Lindsay Todd who puts his whole heart and soul plus screen printing all the artwork into every release. I had not really seen both Lindsay and Nick Moore aka Linkwood since we recorded the landmark “Miles Away” 10 inch debut, and I’m checking Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio One…. yeah way back when he was late nights and I’m like dam when he dropped this, and as well folks such a powerful reply, that yes Edinburgh is just as strong as Glasgow for producing dance music.

10) Out Of The Ordinary with Movers International and The Bevvy Sisters - Critical Point (Live @ The Voodoo Rooms VIP Mix)

Yeah this track again, I’ve 6 different versions of this track, I’m working my way through them all. but you will have to wait till this summer to hear Ashley Beedle's remix plus the Original Mix by Movers International due out on Ramrock Records on 12inch single this year. The Edinburgh based new skool electronic outfit with Gavin Fort, Lee Marvin and Jimmy Jammin. As I explained in the last mix this took 2 years to make it was so complexed, I drove everyone nuts, but to get to the finish line much like with Saleem. Here’s the big picture, to take that track from the studio to the live stage, to again a packed out home crowd, but to have the Movers team in the same big band plus the Bevvy sisters, full horn section under the direction of our arranger Chris Greive, and to have Ashley and Jo Wallace in the crowd looking on with pride, and this time Ashley telling me post gig Joseph I want those parts I’m going to smash this upcoming remix. As I was clever enough to record the gig on a digital desk with our Main sound engineer for that 3rd show live run, Bryan Jones had separate recorded channels for me to take back to the studio with Demus to mix the live show, it was a true big moment of my life as a producer, but also to show the Movers team this is how big we can make this music of live meets electronic and blow every one away, the hardest track I’ve ever made, now had my complete control over it, and as a producer no song will every hold that power over me again.

11) Giles Peterson’s Havana Cultura Band - Afrodisia (Rainer Truby's Afrochant Edit)

Words just can’t explain how important Rainer Truby is to my recording career. He signed me to Compost Records, one day we are on the phone and the next day I’m in Munich at Compost Records signing a record deal with the label boss Michael Reinboth, it was a whole new world to me i didn’t need London any more I had Europe, and toured with the Compost Record family and recording “High Jazz” with the Truby Trio plus “Bad Luck” in the same recording session, i will hold those memories for ever. We all went out for dinner afterwards and Rainer asked me…. “Joe are you ok my brother what’s wrong?” and I was just almost in tears as I’d had made my 1st big track that would take me to a new level and none of this would have happened without my brother Rainer Truby.

12) 16 Block with Jon Lucien – Morning Sun (Pepe Bradock Remix)

It was my main man and the real godfather of house music Aqua Bassino who 1st turned me on to the music of the one and only Pepe Bradock, we both lived in Leith and as you do on Leith Walk you bump into each other, Jay Bassino is like “Joe you need to hear this new record I just got when I was over in France”, as Jay had just signed to F Communications and me on Compost back then that was a big deal, 2 of Leith's very own signed to the 2 best European labels, my jaw hit the floor when I heard Pepe's music and I’m still a huge fan.

13) Digital Liquid - Distance With In (Malik Studio Edit)

1st off I was told flat out by my publisher at Westbury don’t touch that sample its huge, I was like devil be dammed I’m going to sample it, but now in hindsight we’re not going to ditch it so we can release it, as to me there’s just something I love about this song with the amazing voices of Olivia and Adelle in Sliver Back studio and for Danny's kids to be in the studio to see their dad making music. So hold tight this track will be released folks, but you get to hear it first, here at Dusk Dubs.

14) George T - Midway Day Sweats

The Word legend gets passed around way too much these days, and this fine gentleman has made a superb return to music. George came round to see me at the Studio just last week and look out for his own Dusk Dubs Mixtape coming soon, For those of you who don’t know this is the DJ/Producer behind Tribe Funktion, Plastic Avenger …. and a pivotal figure on the Edinburgh dance music scene during the 1990's and beyond. Myself and George will always have a special bond as we both, round about the same time started singing, and we would share demo's as we both didn’t have confidence to share much with others and he lived just around the corner from me. George I love you my music brother and it’s great to have you back with your family, in your home town.

15) LCD Sound System - Get Innocuous

I will never forget seeing them play one of their 1st UK shows @ The Venue in Edinburgh, I was fucking blown off my feet and became a huge fan, plus Hot chip were playing as support with them using ironing boards as keyboards stands ,it was an double bill of music joy and it opened my eyes and ears to new music .

16) Georgia Anne Muldrew - Broken Folks

I’m in love with music not women, I was captivated spellbound head over heels in love to the piano riff so much so I wrote a song over it, the chords are still in my head as I’m writing this, I bow to this amazing writer and producer of our times and on the planet right now.

17) Fudge Fingas - Get it Together

My Second pick from the Firecracker label, Gavin Sutherland AKA Fudge Fingas I’ve known for way over 20 odd years, he works at Underground Solu’shn Record Shop in the city along with Linkwood and House Of Traps. They set a standard as the best new label of artist's I’ve seen to come out of Edinburgh during the early 2000's, and I’ve every right to say that I don’t really care who I’ve upset, I’ve been making music since 1989, I’ve seen it all when those Firecracker EPs came out, i was touring and folks all over the world were going crazy, asking me “hey Joseph do you know these guys”, this is hot and that’s coming from Truby Trio, Jazzanova, Carl Craig and Gilles Peterson.

18) Movers International - Claro (VIP Demo Mix)

Such is my love and respect for this group I’ve got them on twice in this mix, this track is about 3 years old, but folks when you have the Movers team linking in the rehearsal studio with their synth's and drum machine's, linking with horn sections, and the full Easter Road Band, with Steven Christie and Paulo Riddle who both played on Critical Point and Claro session's @ Gavin Fort's Studio in Rose Street, and his lovely daughter Autumn would pop in the studio to say hello to all the musician's, plus the string players Alistair Mckenzie and the wonderfull Dominika Czeringa who also added her superb voice to Carlo and Critical point. But again folks to play this live with the musicians I co-wrote and produced with, then live on stage with the big band was a game changer, I’ve been keeping this under wraps for too long it’s time for everyone to hear this now 2020 is the year for Movers International.

19) The Beatles - Glass Onion

There’s very little to say about this all-time classic, I still play it out and love cutting up 2 copies back to back.

20) Joseph Malik & Lynzie Dray - Strange New Places (Demo)

Dam this young lady, who i found and she is now signed to Ramrock, I’m not allowed to put her single on this mix, but here is a sneak peek at my collaboration demo from Diverse 3, We went very Velvet Underground, dark hippie duet, watch out 2020 as its going to be Miss Lynzie Dray's year.

21) Danger Mouse with Nora Jones - Black

This was a major influence on me, while making Meadow's that sense of scope with the string's which arranger Chris Greive delivered big time with Greg Lawson on violin I must have sent this in email links so many times just repeating I want this…. I want Meadow’s to be this big.

22) Out Of The Ordinary - The Republic of Persevere (Leith Gospel Mix)

I made this my last track for the simple reason of just how important our Queen of Leith Mary Moriarty is to me and our community, all the chairty work she has done, she's our mum our auntie, when I presented the song for her to hear, the reply was stop making things about me son then she hugged me saying “only joking, I love this, can I play it to my grandkids”. I wanted to write a legacy song like the Proclaimers “Sunshine on Leith” but i didn’t want to sing lead, so I brought in the full force of the Bevvy Sisters, Rosanne Erskine, and Leith's number one soul blues singers Subie Coleman who you hear at the end of the edit singing “Every little thing to you’re wants and needs… praise Leith, Sweet Mary Moriarty”, but when I reached out to the city's most famous supertstar Mike Keat of the Cuban Brothers, for the intro “Ladies and Gentleman, Lads and Lassies” it had that auld-skool Scottish country dancing feel, take yer partners and get ready, plus the lyrics in the 2nd verse, my dedication to the Proclaimers… “We’ve been all done to Easter Road, there’s been story's told of the Twins who we all respect”, this song will be around way after I’m dead, it was my way of leaving a legacy song to the folks and musicians of Leith who I deeply love. Jx

**Digital Liquid Tracklisting **

1) Digital Liquid - Digital Intro

2) In Flagranti - Pick a Trick

So, kicking things off with this tune I've been playing for many years. I have no idea how I discovered this lot but they are really interesting. Genius production and genre hopping catalogue of work. Highly recommend listening.

3) Ultramagnetic MC's - Ego Trippin

This is a masterclass in "less is more". literally, a naked drum beat with probably the rudest and most carefully placed bassline I've ever heard! Kool Keith is without a doubt, one of my favorite rappers and he really brings it on this one.

4) Queen - Dragon Attack

I have no idea why this tune isn't more widely known. I think it could be my favorite Queen tune and that's a pretty strong comment taking into account tunes like "Another one bites the dust" etc. Another big bass line from Deacon. Legend!

5) Notorious B.I.G - Friend of Mine

I chose this one for a similar reason to the Ultramagnetic tune. I'm a big fan of the "less is more" approach to making music. For me, its more about the space between the sounds that makes a top track. It also means that the individual parts really shine. Biggie's underproduced, raw vocal is sick!

6) Cher - I Walk on Guilded Splinters

Obviously not originally her tune but hers is by far my fave version. Not a lot else to say about this one but if you've never heard it before, I think it might change your existing opinion of Cher.

7) Out of the Ordinary - Republic of Perservere (Digital Liquid Remix)

I played bass on this track live at the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh last year. I was kindly given the live tracks to play around with as well as the Bevvy Sisters vocal stems. I decided to go a bit left field here and do a sort of old-school hip hop inspired version.

8) BB King - Ain't nobody Home

What can I say? simply amazing. This has long been in my top 3 BB tracks. It's a subtle departure from the usual 12 bar blues model and has a real soul/Motown feel. Love it.

9) 10 CC - Art for art sake

One of the best bands ever! True, they had a couple of misses but the production and their ability to approach multiple genres and still sound true to that style is really impressive.

10) Prince - Girls and boys

OK, Prince literally is my favorite artist of all time! I'm not exaggerating. I've even got him tattooed on my arm lol. No further blurb needed here!

11) Digital Liquid - BoomBoom

This was one of the first tunes I recorded at home. I was quite proud of myself with this one as the only sample is the vocal, the rest is me. (personal trumpet blow)

12) Digital Liquid - Mr Blister

Brand new demo. a bit rough around the edges but getting there. I have a huge addiction to techno as you will hear later. Enjoy.

13) Digital liquid - Troller

Another bleepy techno tune I made ages ago. I used a Korg Electribe for this one. Great fun to make. Never get bored of this stuff. Repetition is something I find memorising. It puts me into a trance-like state. Basic tribal 4-4 beats with subtle changes to keep it charged.

14) Digital Liquid - Swimming

OK, This is a weird one. Ive no idea how it happened but I found an advert for a Norwegian dentist online with a former deep sea diver talking about the problems with his teeth. I know, strange! Anyway, bleeps added on the Electribe and away we go!

15) Brooks - Clix

I don't really know much about Brooks. This was a tune that got played a lot when I was at university and it still stands up quite well in my opinion. Again, no showing off, just a few sounds used sparingly. Class.

16) Digital Liquid - All ain't the same

This is a brand new demo I hope to release this year. I roped in my colleague Joseph Malik on vocals with this one. Hope you like.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite back Joseph Malik alongside Digital Liquid aka Danny Walls to the Dusk Dubs family.

That's 20 years of history, and meeting Danny who is now my DJ partner for this mixtape and DJ nights at this legendary bar, we present this new mix to showcase all the styles we have up our sleeves many thanks to Jon Brent and the Dusk Dubs family, enjoy the journey and the VIP exclusive tracks, you won’t hear any where else in the world of music." [[ Joseph Malik ]]

**'Stranger Things Have happened Mixtape Part 2'**

**Joseph Malik Tracklisting**

1) Out of the Ordinary - Stranger things have happened Advert

On our journey of releasing the biggest album our city had ever seen, we presented 3 sell out shows @ The Voodoo rooms and I needed a cheeky wee advert jingle for radio, so I dug deep into my vault of brakes and beats and found the cheesy, but killer, Tommy Roe, Dizzy loop as Sampled by De La Soul plus many others. I’ve owned this 7 inch record snice I was ten years old, 2 copies looping back to back on elastic band turntables. No Technics magnetic belt drive Decks. It’s 1979 and my granny is yelling at me to turn the music down and my grand pops is shouting, “leave him hen, wee Joe is doing his music thing in his own wee world”. Its only now in my 50's that I’m reminded of my childhood music days due to my recent bond with my niece’s, Emily and Sammy, my drummer Danny’s kids. They made me laugh again, and reminded me not to be so serious. Hanging out with them in the garden and feeding the wee birds had a positive impact on my mental health and gave me a new sense of wonder, seeing the world through the eyes of this hopeful new generation.

2) The Easter Road Northern soul band - Save Leith Walk (Demo)

90 percent of the band live in Leith, and we felt duty bound to put down a battle cry for the album. with Saleem Ehwun on the beats with Stevie keys , Paulo , Big Kris all in this jam Session , sadly the demo didn’t make it past the final selection of what I wanted for the final tracks as the lead producer to choose for mix downs, but hold tight folks, there’s lots of unreleased studio nuggets on this mix, All exclusive, just for you and Dusk Dubs.

3) Out of the Ordinary / Meadows (Sliverback Lodge VIP Dub Mix)

I really want to make this clear, Id never have made this if not for our dearly departed Mr Andrew Weatherall. As a teenager, dancing the night away to his music in the Sub Club in the early 90's, he showed the way of mixing indie with electronic music, using a blend of house and hip hop that summed up our generation. Now they we had an anthem to get behind. I will never forget when Stuart and Orde from Slam dropped the super VIP white label of this for the 1st time at the Sub Club. It was a Scottish record and a truly big statement by Primal Scream, with Alan McGee backing them. It was our time and for the very 1st time I dreamed, as I danced that one day i would try and make music of this standard.

So when tasked with taking Scottish music into the modern age, I went back to that dream scape of being a teenager in the Subby, hearing the bagpipes, yes, fucking bagpipes! but more about that in the next track.

4) Primal Scream - Loaded (Andrew Weatherall Mix)

So yeah, if you listen, there’s bagpipes in the mix of loaded and that wee sparkle of a Scottish melody it really gives you goose bumps. I had the pleasure of telling Andy that when I met him last year for the 1st time through our mutual friend, Davie Miller from Fini Tribe. We spoke of our deep love for Ashley Beedle and his Wife Jo Wallace. We discussed the records we would play for their upcoming wedding and he told me he was deep into our track, Critical Point. He wanted to remix it, but to be honest, we spent more time talking about wedding songs we wanted to play for our soon to be wed best friends, Jo Wallace and Ashley Beedle. I just wish I had more time to talk to you and exchange knowledge over a cup of tea. We will all miss you Andrew Weatherall. You sir, are the sound track to our lives.

5) Checkmasses and Roseanne Erskine - Kind of Strange (Live @ The Voodoo Rooms Mix)

The thing about Leith is that it’s all interconnected, as everyone knows everyone, no matter what style of music. I’ve known Saleem Andrew McGoarty, aka Ewhun, aka, Awunsounds, snice 1988. He was my 1st DJ partner in many clubs across the city, plus we were both on the Mo wax Headz album with our 1st release, my brother in beats for life, during the 90's. Through Saleem, I also met Philly, and Vic Galloway. Many years on, they form a super group, Checkmasses, who I was delighted to include on the “Stranger things have happened” album, and to have them on stage with the full “Easter Road Northern Soul Band” plus the Bevvy sisters, with Philly and Roseanne on lead vocals. Vic Galloway on lead electric guitar blending with Greg Lawson on Violin, and our Band leader and arranger, Chris Greive, who made it all work live on the night. I won’t forget just turning round and giving Saleem a huge hug as it was a long hard journey to make an album of this scale. As I came off stage that night to a packed-out home crowd, Jo Wallace gave me a hug and just Said, “Kind of Strange”, next single, trust me! I always do, because somehow, Aunty Jo is always right.

6) Joseph Malik - Darkstar (Dusk Dubs VIP Mix)

This is a super VIP never to be released remix / re boot of “Inside In Outside Out”, the label and my publisher both hated it but I don’t care, if you don’t push the limits in music you won’t find out your next move as a song writer, producer, i will return to this idea later but with a female vocalist, I still love it, and this is an exclusive to Dusk Dubs for my music brother Jon Brent who along with many other's stood by me during my dark times, and now it’s time to pay back with a mixtape beyond what others do, with my gift of music

7) Little Dragon - Brush the Heat

Oh the stories of that gig with Koop from the Compost Records days in Portugal, I watched in wonder at just how good and important a performer Yukimi Nagano really is…. this vison of Billie Holiday. Then some years later under the name Little Dragon, I was fucking speechless watching her play live with the new band and in complete control as a front woman. It was there to see and we were lucky just to be in her presence, of a queen.

8) 4 Hero - Hold it down

Still a huge benchmark track of all time for me, I’ve spoken to Marc Mac a few times online but I’ve never met him. I lived in London for 7 years and inner city black London is tuff, with gangs running their own patch. To speak freely, I find a lot of London music very angry and pissed off all the time, when I heard this track, it was positive and took me back to the Young Disciples and the sense of hope moving forward I found in that music, but overall 4 hero paved the way for underground producers much like Massive Attack to walk into big studios with the string section and choir and deliver the goods, way beyond anything I hear coming out of the states, for some time now I really beleive in this country.... we are way ahead in new production idea's.

9) Linkwood – What’s Up With The Underground

I’m a super fanboy of the 3 EPs on Firecracker Records, I was there watching from the side lines at the birth of this uber cool label, run by Lindsay Todd who puts his whole heart and soul plus screen printing all the artwork into every release. I had not really seen both Lindsay and Nick Moore aka Linkwood since we recorded the landmark “Miles Away” 10 inch debut, and I’m checking Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio One…. yeah way back when he was late nights and I’m like dam when he dropped this, and as well folks such a powerful reply, that yes Edinburgh is just as strong as Glasgow for producing dance music.

10) Out Of The Ordinary with Movers International and The Bevvy Sisters - Critical Point (Live @ The Voodoo Rooms VIP Mix)

Yeah this track again, I’ve 6 different versions of this track, I’m working my way through them all. but you will have to wait till this summer to hear Ashley Beedle's remix plus the Original Mix by Movers International due out on Ramrock Records on 12inch single this year. The Edinburgh based new skool electronic outfit with Gavin Fort, Lee Marvin and Jimmy Jammin. As I explained in the last mix this took 2 years to make it was so complexed, I drove everyone nuts, but to get to the finish line much like with Saleem. Here’s the big picture, to take that track from the studio to the live stage, to again a packed out home crowd, but to have the Movers team in the same big band plus the Bevvy sisters, full horn section under the direction of our arranger Chris Greive, and to have Ashley and Jo Wallace in the crowd looking on with pride, and this time Ashley telling me post gig Joseph I want those parts I’m going to smash this upcoming remix. As I was clever enough to record the gig on a digital desk with our Main sound engineer for that 3rd show live run, Bryan Jones had separate recorded channels for me to take back to the studio with Demus to mix the live show, it was a true big moment of my life as a producer, but also to show the Movers team this is how big we can make this music of live meets electronic and blow every one away, the hardest track I’ve ever made, now had my complete control over it, and as a producer no song will every hold that power over me again.

11) Giles Peterson’s Havana Cultura Band - Afrodisia (Rainer Truby's Afrochant Edit)

Words just can’t explain how important Rainer Truby is to my recording career. He signed me to Compost Records, one day we are on the phone and the next day I’m in Munich at Compost Records signing a record deal with the label boss Michael Reinboth, it was a whole new world to me i didn’t need London any more I had Europe, and toured with the Compost Record family and recording “High Jazz” with the Truby Trio plus “Bad Luck” in the same recording session, i will hold those memories for ever. We all went out for dinner afterwards and Rainer asked me…. “Joe are you ok my brother what’s wrong?” and I was just almost in tears as I’d had made my 1st big track that would take me to a new level and none of this would have happened without my brother Rainer Truby.

12) 16 Block with Jon Lucien – Morning Sun (Pepe Bradock Remix)

It was my main man and the real godfather of house music Aqua Bassino who 1st turned me on to the music of the one and only Pepe Bradock, we both lived in Leith and as you do on Leith Walk you bump into each other, Jay Bassino is like “Joe you need to hear this new record I just got when I was over in France”, as Jay had just signed to F Communications and me on Compost back then that was a big deal, 2 of Leith's very own signed to the 2 best European labels, my jaw hit the floor when I heard Pepe's music and I’m still a huge fan.

13) Digital Liquid - Distance With In (Malik Studio Edit)

1st off I was told flat out by my publisher at Westbury don’t touch that sample its huge, I was like devil be dammed I’m going to sample it, but now in hindsight we’re not going to ditch it so we can release it, as to me there’s just something I love about this song with the amazing voices of Olivia and Adelle in Sliver Back studio and for Danny's kids to be in the studio to see their dad making music. So hold tight this track will be released folks, but you get to hear it first, here at Dusk Dubs.

14) George T - Midway Day Sweats

The Word legend gets passed around way too much these days, and this fine gentleman has made a superb return to music. George came round to see me at the Studio just last week and look out for his own Dusk Dubs Mixtape coming soon, For those of you who don’t know this is the DJ/Producer behind Tribe Funktion, Plastic Avenger …. and a pivotal figure on the Edinburgh dance music scene during the 1990's and beyond. Myself and George will always have a special bond as we both, round about the same time started singing, and we would share demo's as we both didn’t have confidence to share much with others and he lived just around the corner from me. George I love you my music brother and it’s great to have you back with your family, in your home town.

15) LCD Sound System - Get Innocuous

I will never forget seeing them play one of their 1st UK shows @ The Venue in Edinburgh, I was fucking blown off my feet and became a huge fan, plus Hot chip were playing as support with them using ironing boards as keyboards stands ,it was an double bill of music joy and it opened my eyes and ears to new music .

16) Georgia Anne Muldrew - Broken Folks

I’m in love with music not women, I was captivated spellbound head over heels in love to the piano riff so much so I wrote a song over it, the chords are still in my head as I’m writing this, I bow to this amazing writer and producer of our times and on the planet right now.

17) Fudge Fingas - Get it Together

My Second pick from the Firecracker label, Gavin Sutherland AKA Fudge Fingas I’ve known for way over 20 odd years, he works at Underground Solu’shn Record Shop in the city along with Linkwood and House Of Traps. They set a standard as the best new label of artist's I’ve seen to come out of Edinburgh during the early 2000's, and I’ve every right to say that I don’t really care who I’ve upset, I’ve been making music since 1989, I’ve seen it all when those Firecracker EPs came out, i was touring and folks all over the world were going crazy, asking me “hey Joseph do you know these guys”, this is hot and that’s coming from Truby Trio, Jazzanova, Carl Craig and Gilles Peterson.

18) Movers International - Claro (VIP Demo Mix)

Such is my love and respect for this group I’ve got them on twice in this mix, this track is about 3 years old, but folks when you have the Movers team linking in the rehearsal studio with their synth's and drum machine's, linking with horn sections, and the full Easter Road Band, with Steven Christie and Paulo Riddle who both played on Critical Point and Claro session's @ Gavin Fort's Studio in Rose Street, and his lovely daughter Autumn would pop in the studio to say hello to all the musician's, plus the string players Alistair Mckenzie and the wonderfull Dominika Czeringa who also added her superb voice to Carlo and Critical point. But again folks to play this live with the musicians I co-wrote and produced with, then live on stage with the big band was a game changer, I’ve been keeping this under wraps for too long it’s time for everyone to hear this now 2020 is the year for Movers International.

19) The Beatles - Glass Onion

There’s very little to say about this all-time classic, I still play it out and love cutting up 2 copies back to back.

20) Joseph Malik & Lynzie Dray - Strange New Places (Demo)

Dam this young lady, who i found and she is now signed to Ramrock, I’m not allowed to put her single on this mix, but here is a sneak peek at my collaboration demo from Diverse 3, We went very Velvet Underground, dark hippie duet, watch out 2020 as its going to be Miss Lynzie Dray's year.

21) Danger Mouse with Nora Jones - Black

22) Out Of The Ordinary - The Republic of Persevere (Leith Gospel Mix)

I made this my last track for the simple reason of just how important our Queen of Leith Mary Moriarty is to me and our community, all the chairty work she has done, she's our mum our auntie, when I presented the song for her to hear, the reply was stop making things about me son then she hugged me saying “only joking, I love this, can I play it to my grandkids”. I wanted to write a legacy song like the Proclaimers “Sunshine on Leith” but i didn’t want to sing lead, so I brought in the full force of the Bevvy Sisters, Rosanne Erskine, and Leith's number one soul blues singers Subie Coleman who you hear at the end of the edit singing “Every little thing to you’re wants and needs… praise Leith, Sweet Mary Moriarty”, but when I reached out to the city's most famous supertstar Mike Keat of the Cuban Brothers, for the intro “Ladies and Gentleman, Lads and Lassies” it had that auld-skool Scottish country dancing feel, take yer partners and get ready, plus the lyrics in the 2nd verse, my dedication to the Proclaimers… “We’ve been all done to Easter Road, there’s been story's told of the Twins who we all respect”, this song will be around way after I’m dead, it was my way of leaving a legacy song to the folks and musicians of Leith who I deeply love.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Necrotype to the Dusk Dubs family.

"Rave music was definitely my first love and I first started listening to it when I was still just a kid of about 8 or 9 years old. My older sister used to frequent the Int-ter-dance events at the world famous Sterns nightclub here in my hometown of Worthing. As I remember they used to occasionally give out tapes featuring mixes from the events. My pride and joy at the time was my little stereo system and I spent a lot of time there recording random stuff just for the hell of it. So she'd give me these tapes and get me to dub copies for her and her friends. My parents hated the fact she was so into the rave scene and wouldn't want me influenced so it had to be a secret! I'd sit there in the dark way after my bedtime with a torch and my headphones on. I can still remember the feeling I got hearing the vibes and atmosphere on those tapes. The fact that the MC might occasionally swear as well made it all the more exciting to my young ears! So I guess back then it was perhaps more about the anarchy of it all in contrast to my very normal existence and strict upbringing rather than the music itself. However as time went on my appreciation for the music grew and it just became my life with jungle and drum & bass becoming my preference. I dabbled with DJ'ing during my late teens and blagged a few gigs locally but to be honest my shy and introverted nature meant I didn't really enjoy the experience so that's when I started producing. I did so purely for my own pleasure and despite flirting with the idea never truly considered sending demos out to labels.

Fast forward to 2014 and a couple of old friends who'd started their own imprint suggested I got involved which I did and so I had my first three tracks released by them. It was a short lived thing in the end but it was great to share that with those guys as I spent some of the best days of my life with them. It wouldn't be until another couple of years later that I'd see my own single released on Coco Bryce's Diamond Life label. He really took a big chance on that track but it paid off and was popular enough that it's gotten me to where I am now having had numerous releases on some great labels since.

Moving on, 2020 will see a couple of collaborative releases on Parallax and Next Phase, a solo EP on Repertoire and possibly one or two things on MJAZZ

Up to this point I have just been making some really random stuff without considering any sort of direction that I might wish to head in. Some might say that's not a bad thing but I think there's only so long anyone can do that before they burn out. A new project will allow me an opportunity to take a more focused approach and most importantly to make music that is a true reflection of what I'm about in this very moment rather than simply vibing off my past and tunes I listened to back then. Sure nostalgia is a big part of it these days especially in jungle but the fact is I'm not really a scene guy anymore but a family man instead. I try to keep my social media and general web use to a minimum and I don't go out to events and stuff these days simply because I can't cope with large crowds and the overload of information haha! So to be quite honest I'm pretty out of the loop when it comes to what's hot and what's not. However the breaks and the bass are still a part of me so I have to find different ways of doing things. To find inspiration from elsewhere and to have the faith in myself to roll with it irrespective of current trends. It's actually not a bad way to work" [[ Necrotype ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Altern8 - Evapor8
The first rave track to really grab my attention. This was was started it all for me. Proper warehouse vibes.

2) Zero B - Lock Up
I was too young to appreciate the early rave scene in it's prime but whenever I hear it I some how feel like I was actually there. For me to have to have the pportunity to do an official remix so many years later was an unbelievable honour.

3) Exocet - Demon Seed
I still find it quite unbelievable that this was released in 97. “Ahead of it's time” is such a cliché but this tune really was.

4) Jonny L - I Let U
Reminds me of some of the best days of my life. Touching and sentimental.

5) Clams Casino - I'm God
I like my pretty songs and it doesn't get much prettier than this. Such a feel good track.

6) Amon Tobin – At the End of the Day
Amon has such a cool approach to sound design and his execution of it never fails to blow me away.

7) Aphex Twin – Xtal
I recently heard an acoustic guitar cover of this among others which revealed this whole other layer to the song and further highlighted how much of a genius Richard is. Music that transcends technology and equipment.

8) Blame & Justice – Essence (The Jazz Testament)
I just love the way this rolls out! A perfect example of why not everything in jungle has to have some big drop in order to be stunning.

9) Justice – Aquisse
Anyone familiar with Justice will know he has been doing his own thing since day one but to produce something such as this at the time it was made really took the biscuit. His daring approach to making music as well as his attitude to releasing it has long been a big inspiration for me. I had always hoped to have the opportunity to work with him at some point and I am blessed to be able to say that I have. Big up T!

10) Boymerang – Still VIP
There was a time when I was all about the darkness. I find this beast genuinely unsettling!

11) Carbon Based Lifeforms – Photosynthesis
Had to include a CBL track in here. They are so good at combining moments of euphoria with melancholy which is something I have often tried to do myself. Few do it better though and this is my favourite example.

12) Prefuse 73 – Half of What
The vocal manipulation and editing is awesome as is the official music video. I used to be quite into BMX in my youth and there is this really cool footage of a kid doing a wheelie which has stuck with me ever since and now I can never hear the song without visualising it.

13) The Policy Unit - No Policy
A sick piece of electronica dare I say “IDM”. This instantly caught my attention one day as I walked past an old Brighton record shop. It virtually pulled me inside and insisted I bought it.

14) Om Unit – Underground Cinema (ft Krust)
A coming together of two visionaries resulting in an absolute masterpiece of drum and bass. One of the best ever in my opinion.

15) Keudo – Whisper Fate
Can't remember when or where I first heard this but it's one of those that strangely conjures up memories of some non-specific time and place when I was really happy. A time both in the past and in the future.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Necrotype to the Dusk Dubs family.

"Rave music was definitely my first love and I first started listening to it when I was still just a kid of about 8 or 9 years old. My older sister used to frequent the Int-ter-dance events at the world famous Sterns nightclub here in my hometown of Worthing. As I remember they used to occasionally give out tapes featuring mixes from the events. My pride and joy at the time was my little stereo system and I spent a lot of time there recording random stuff just for the hell of it. So she'd give me these tapes and get me to dub copies for her and her friends. My parents hated the fact she was so into the rave scene and wouldn't want me influenced so it had to be a secret! I'd sit there in the dark way after my bedtime with a torch and my headphones on. I can still remember the feeling I got hearing the vibes and atmosphere on those tapes. The fact that the MC might occasionally swear as well made it all the more exciting to my young ears! So I guess back then it was perhaps more about the anarchy of it all in contrast to my very normal existence and strict upbringing rather than the music itself. However as time went on my appreciation for the music grew and it just became my life with jungle and drum & bass becoming my preference. I dabbled with DJ'ing during my late teens and blagged a few gigs locally but to be honest my shy and introverted nature meant I didn't really enjoy the experience so that's when I started producing. I did so purely for my own pleasure and despite flirting with the idea never truly considered sending demos out to labels.

Fast forward to 2014 and a couple of old friends who'd started their own imprint suggested I got involved which I did and so I had my first three tracks released by them. It was a short lived thing in the end but it was great to share that with those guys as I spent some of the best days of my life with them. It wouldn't be until another couple of years later that I'd see my own single released on Coco Bryce's Diamond Life label. He really took a big chance on that track but it paid off and was popular enough that it's gotten me to where I am now having had numerous releases on some great labels since.

Moving on, 2020 will see a couple of collaborative releases on Parallax and Next Phase, a solo EP on Repertoire and possibly one or two things on MJAZZ

Up to this point I have just been making some really random stuff without considering any sort of direction that I might wish to head in. Some might say that's not a bad thing but I think there's only so long anyone can do that before they burn out. A new project will allow me an opportunity to take a more focused approach and most importantly to make music that is a true reflection of what I'm about in this very moment rather than simply vibing off my past and tunes I listened to back then. Sure nostalgia is a big part of it these days especially in jungle but the fact is I'm not really a scene guy anymore but a family man instead. I try to keep my social media and general web use to a minimum and I don't go out to events and stuff these days simply because I can't cope with large crowds and the overload of information haha! So to be quite honest I'm pretty out of the loop when it comes to what's hot and what's not. However the breaks and the bass are still a part of me so I have to find different ways of doing things. To find inspiration from elsewhere and to have the faith in myself to roll with it irrespective of current trends. It's actually not a bad way to work" [[ Necrotype ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Altern8 - Evapor8
The first rave track to really grab my attention. This was was started it all for me. Proper warehouse vibes.

2) Zero B - Lock Up
I was too young to appreciate the early rave scene in it's prime but whenever I hear it I some how feel like I was actually there. For me to have to have the pportunity to do an official remix so many years later was an unbelievable honour.

3) Exocet - Demon Seed
I still find it quite unbelievable that this was released in 97. “Ahead of it's time” is such a cliché but this tune really was.

4) Jonny L - I Let U
Reminds me of some of the best days of my life. Touching and sentimental.

5) Clams Casino - I'm God
I like my pretty songs and it doesn't get much prettier than this. Such a feel good track.

6) Amon Tobin – At the End of the Day
Amon has such a cool approach to sound design and his execution of it never fails to blow me away.

Stuart has put together two volumes for Dusk Dubs, last week was Hip-Hop, this week its a journey through his House collection.......

“I've buying records since I was 14 when I got my first paper round and have been buying ever since

First DJ around 18 as an indie DJ in Birmingham then went to the Snapper club at the Hummingbird on a Friday night and heard acid house and Balearic mixed with Indie dance and was hooked. From there went to plenty of raves including Amnesia House, Perception, Energy, Blackburn Raves and many more I can’t remember but have a bag full of flyers somewhere. Also went Ibiza for a summer in 91 and Tenerife during winter, so plenty more clubbing. Other highlights including numerous visits to Hacienda, Shelly’s, Venus and Zap club plenty more I cant remember. Also spent some great night at the free parties with DiY including the infamous CastleMorton weeklong rave.

Went to San Francisco in 1994 for a holiday, went back in 96 and stayed until 2004 working at Tweekin records and playing at all the major parties including Sunset, Bulletproof and up and down the state, in a state.

Since being back started Nicetraxuk record label and brought Mark Farina to East Village Shoreditch for his first gig in London for 5 years or more back in 2012. I feel like I have gone full circle as I am now happy collecting old and new records. Moved to the countryside so no playing out anymore.

This is my second Dusk Dubs volume and I am grateful for getting the chance (thank you guys ) to put these volumes together. For DJ Bookings er…. Give me a shout and I will see what I can do !!!!!!!!!

So I put together a bit like the old mix tapes we used to do a selection of hip-hop and house which was a task I never really thought about as there is no way I could whittle it down to my favourites. So this is what jumped off the shelves and they are all great records.”

**House Mix (Side B)**

**Tracklisting**

1) Bang The Party Feat Noise - Bang Bang Attitude Rap
I remember first hearing this on my mates mix tape Paul Moran, it took me on and off looking for this now and again another 25 yrs to find out what it was, only to find out I did have it stashed away, so now I have 2 copies.

2) Prince & NPG - Gett Off (Flutestramental)
I think it was either Steve lee or Paul Oakenfold who dropped this at Betterway @ Institute Birmingham. Loved it from that day on great remix.

3) GusGus vs T-World - Earl Grey
Every track off the 7 track Ep is amazing, but this one stands out for me and is another favourite track of all time.

4) Unique 3 - The Theme
One of those trax from 89 that just stood out at the time and became an all time classic for anyone who went to the early raves or rave nights in clubs.

5) Rave Trax of Love – Untitled
Untitled rave mash up bootlegs again just one of those tunes from the rave scene combining two great stand out trax. Of course copied later by the Scource.

6) If? - Saturday Angels
I heard this on an excellent Slam tape, which I lost and was just one of my favourite tapes. Great indie house crossover.

7) KOT - Unknown
We got this in tweekin records San Francisco - I have no info on it except it has hand written KOT on inner- a fantastic slow house bordering hip-hop track.

8) KOT Feat April - Fall For You
Just got me on a KOT tip so thought this would be a good one to add.

9) Asmo - Music Please
The excellent Bside to Jam the dance – probably a better tune than the A side.

10) Ani - Love Is The Message
Classic deep house from 1994, massive prescription tune .

11) The Mighty Blaze feat Alexander Hope - Feel the Music
I have a few copies of the promo version, just cause I love it so much- has to be one of my all time favourite House trax 1997 pure brilliance.

12) Chez Damier feat Antonie - Close
Probably my second favourite House track again 1997 pure brilliant house music from a legend.

13) Francois K - Time and Space
Would be so wrong to do a house collection without including this man, pure genius and in the top 5.

14) House of Zekkariyas AKA Womack and Womack - Secret star (Sasha Mix)
Think this was when Sasha for me was at his best, what a great rework and just one of those monster trax you used to get around 93.

15) Thompson Twins - The Saint (Def Mix)
Another legendary producer who had to be included, the mighty David Morales, he just kept on bringing out tune after tune in the early 90’s, the man could do no wrong.

16) Murk - Some Lovin
Another great duo from the early 90’s have a good few murk releases, but this stands out as one of their finest.

17) Chris Nazuka - Experience
Fire fire fire fire fire- this is without doubt one of my favourite tunes of all time all genres it just hits all the right notes for me what a blinder. ]]>

**Hip Hop Mix (Side A)**

**Tracklisting **

1) Ll Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out
Not much to say but absolute killer- which the whole family sings in the car including the 3 yr. old Lucy.

2) Stetsasonic - Talkin All That Jazz (Dominoes Instrumental Remix by Daddy-O)
I used play a lot of small rooms in SF it was part of the DJ circuit you did both, so always good to throw down a good instrumental – good rework of another classic I loved from back in the day and still today.

3) Blackalicious - Rhymes for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind (Melodica Album)
This is one of my all time favourite Rap Albums and Acts- I still play this a lot in the car the whole album is great, got a lot of this when in San Francisco as they are Sacramento boys.

4) Kool Keith - Black Elvis (Black Elvis/ Lost in Space)
Oh my god,, I really got in to Kool Keith living in San Francisco - just a genius and love his take on rap music

5) Dr Dre Still Dre- Couldn’t really do a hip hop mix tape without Dre and Snoop- just great music.

6) Roll Deep - Let It Out
To be honest was in America when they came about- but just really liked this and don’t really know much about them, good to see Uk Rap back then.

7) Big Daddy Kane - Warm It Up, Kane
I first heard this on a Hacienda tape from 89 and was hooked on it from that first listen

8) Blackalicious - The Fabulous Ones
I did say didn’t I, just love this rap band

9) Eric B & Rakim - I Got Soul
I stumped for this even though I pulled 'Paid In Full' off the shelves as well, they were just ground-breaking to this kid from Birmingham.

10) Guru - Le Bein, Le Mal (Jazzmatazz Vol 1)
When this came out I shared a flat with some old friends from our Ibiza days and this was played a lot accompanied with plenty of skunk weed.

11) EPMD - So Watcha Sayin (Out of Business)
Another album I really got into while living in the states.

12) Roots Manuva & Charli 2na - Join The Dots
OK so I met Rodney after he signed for Ninja tune in 99 in Hackney during a fleeting visit back to the old country, through a good friend, a year later he walks in our local bar in SF and we drank and drank, he was putting this album together I think. I have never seen him since but I love his music and buy all his albums vinyl or digital- (Charli 2na we will come to him soon).

13) Kurtis Blow - The Breaks
Another classic from my years of growing up and early school years of trying to break dance badly.

14) Brand Nubian - Drop The Bomb
Not sure on this one just another record on the shelf, probably from those playing the hip hop rooms in SF.

15) NWA - Straight Outta Compton
Just loved and still love this band - proper gangster rap and amazing music.

15) Gunshot - Reign Of Terror
My Mrs got me on to this when I came back to Uk 04 and met her a few years later, she also collected records and told me to listen to this as I had never heard of them, so there you go.

16) ATCQ - Show Business (The Low End Theory)
Another rap band I love and collect all their albums and play them to death.

17) KRS-One - Sound Of Da Police
Just one of those tunes that always puts a smile on my face.

18) Roots Manuva - Too Cold
One of my favourite trax from Mr Rodney.

19) ATCQ - Can I Kick It
No need for words, just brilliant hiphop/rap.

20) Jurassic 5 - Sum Of Us
Another band who I really got into during my time in San Francisco- really good music.

21) ATCQ- Scenario (Remix)
I think this is in the top 5 all time favourite hip-hop/rap trax.]]>

From there went to plenty of raves including Amnesia House, Perception, Energy, Blackburn Raves and many more I can’t remember but have a bag full of flyers somewhere. Also went Ibiza for a summer in 91 and Tenerife during winter, so plenty more clubbing. Other highlights including numerous visits to Hacienda, Shelly’s, Venus and Zap club plenty more I cant remember. Also spent some great night at the free parties with DiY including the infamous CastleMorton weeklong rave.

Went to San Francisco in 1994 for a holiday, went back in 96 and stayed until 2004 working at Tweekin records and playing at all the major parties including Sunset, Bulletproof and up and down the state, in a state.

Since being back started Nicetraxuk record label and brought Mark Farina to East Village Shoreditch for his first gig in London for 5 years or more back in 2012. I feel like I have gone full circle as I am now happy collecting old and new records. Moved to the countryside so no playing out anymore.

This is my second Dusk Dubs volume and I am grateful for getting the chance (thank you guys ) to put these volumes together. For DJ Bookings er…. Give me a shout and I will see what I can do !!!!!!!!!

So I put together a bit like the old mix tapes we used to do a selection of hip-hop and house which was a task I never really thought about as there is no way I could whittle it down to my favourites. So this is what jumped off the shelves and they are all great records.”

**Hip Hop Mix (Side A)**

**Tracklisting **

1) Ll Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out
Not much to say but absolute killer- which the whole family sings in the car including the 3 yr. old Lucy.

2) Stetsasonic - Talkin All That Jazz (Dominoes Instrumental Remix by Daddy-O)
I used play a lot of small rooms in SF it was part of the DJ circuit you did both, so always good to throw down a good instrumental – good rework of another classic I loved from back in the day and still today.

3) Blackalicious - Rhymes for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind (Melodica Album)
This is one of my all time favourite Rap Albums and Acts- I still play this a lot in the car the whole album is great, got a lot of this when in San Francisco as they are Sacramento boys.

4) Kool Keith - Black Elvis (Black Elvis/ Lost in Space)
Oh my god,, I really got in to Kool Keith living in San Francisco - just a genius and love his take on rap music

5) Dr Dre Still Dre- Couldn’t really do a hip hop mix tape without Dre and Snoop- just great music.

6) Roll Deep - Let It Out
To be honest was in America when they came about- but just really liked this and don’t really know much about them, good to see Uk Rap back then.

7) Big Daddy Kane - Warm It Up, Kane
I first heard this on a Hacienda tape from 89 and was hooked on it from that first listen

8) Blackalicious - The Fabulous Ones
I did say didn’t I, just love this rap band

9) Eric B & Rakim - I Got Soul
I stumped for this even though I pulled 'Paid In Full' off the shelves as well, they were just ground-breaking to this kid from Birmingham.

10) Guru - Le Bein, Le Mal (Jazzmatazz Vol 1)
When this came out I shared a flat with some old friends from our Ibiza days and this was played a lot accompanied with plenty of skunk weed.

11) EPMD - So Watcha Sayin (Out of Business)
Another album I really got into while living in the states.

12) Roots Manuva & Charli 2na - Join The Dots
OK so I met Rodney after he signed for Ninja tune in 99 in Hackney during a fleeting visit back to the old country, through a good friend, a year later he walks in our local bar in SF and we drank and drank, he was putting this album together I think. I have never seen him since but I love his music and buy all his albums vinyl or digital- (Charli 2na we will come to him soon).

13) Kurtis Blow - The Breaks
Another classic from my years of growing up and early school years of trying to break dance badly.

14) Brand Nubian - Drop The Bomb
Not sure on this one just another record on the shelf, probably from those playing the hip hop rooms in SF.

15) NWA - Straight Outta Compton
Just loved and still love this band - proper gangster rap and amazing music.

15) Gunshot - Reign Of Terror
My Mrs got me on to this when I came back to Uk 04 and met her a few years later, she also collected records and told me to listen to this as I had never heard of them, so there you go.

16) ATCQ - Show Business (The Low End Theory)
Another rap band I love and collect all their albums and play them to death.

17) KRS-One - Sound Of Da Police
Just one of those tunes that always puts a smile on my face.

18) Roots Manuva - Too Cold
One of my favourite trax from Mr Rodney.

19) ATCQ - Can I Kick It
No need for words, just brilliant hiphop/rap.

20) Jurassic 5 - Sum Of Us
Another band who I really got into during my time in San Francisco- really good music.

21) ATCQ- Scenario (Remix)
I think this is in the top 5 all time favourite hip-hop/rap trax.]]> 4407554 no no Sun, 01 Mar 2020 09:57:33 +0100 2020-03-01T09:57:33+01:00 1:33:20 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/harmonic-sessions-015/

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: DeeJay Random (The Steel Devils)
Title: DD0621
Style: Soundtrack, Psychedelic Rock, Electro, Funk, Soul, Go-Go, Hip-Hop, Breakbeat, Trip-Hop,
Time: 114 Minutes
Date: 2020-02-23

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite DeeJay Random (The Steel Devils) to the Dusk Dubs family.

DeeJay Random is a 2 x Technics/DMC champion and founding member of The Steel Devils DJ crew. He has taken his aggressive drum heavy mix of independent Hip Hop and Funk all over Europe and rocked crowds from Pikes in Ibiza to Fabric in London to Beat Herder in Lancashire and beyond. Expect a Turntablised style of Block Party beats that will leave you bruised and battered. It's rowdy time.

“I was honoured to be asked to do a Dusk Dubs set. Here it is. It’s kind of chronological but is a whole bunch of tunes that kinda made me who I am. I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed these tunes over the last 40 odd years. Play it loud! “ [[ DeeJay Random ]]

**Tracklisting **

1) JEFF WAYNE/RICHARD BURTON/WAR OF THE WORLDS - "HORSELL COMMON AND THE HEAT RAY"

One of the first records I ever bought. I'd heard it at a friends house and was transfixed by the entire LP. I think my love of heavy drums and Wah Wah guitar started here...My Dad was a milkman (not THE MILKMAN) and every Saturday I would go out on his round and do a full day delivering milk, eating biscuits and then getting weighed in a fiver. I would go straight to my local chemist (yeah, it sold records) and flick through the LP's and dash home to my Dogshit record player and sit there in a trance and play everything on repeat. I was about 9 years old. Child labour has it's pay offs.

2) JIMI HENDRIX - "VOODOO CHILE (SLIGHT RETURN)"

I was brought up on a weird music collection of Motown, Jazz, Easy Listening, Prog Rock and Pop. I first heard this track when I was about 7 or 8. My Mum loved it. I rediscovered it when I was about 14. Jimi Hendrix is one of the only Heroes I have. The guy was a genius.It wasn't until I started to read about him that I started to see similarities in my turntablism and his guitar playing. We both did stuff backwards, we played as we thought fit without standard or traditional methods and the public and our contemporaries classed us as "Out There". I miss him and I never even met him.

3) ARTHUR BAKER - "BREAKERS REVENGE"

Monster tune. I done my time as a BBoy...for about 6 weeks. I simply couldn't do it! I went to the cinema to see "Beat Street" as a kid and watching everyone going Batshit in the cinema to this was incredible. The energy, the amazing production, the RAWNESS of this tune is incredible to this day. Audio savagery at it's best.

4) KEY-MATIC - "BREAKIN IN SPACE"

Game changer for me. I first heard this on "Electro 4", on Street Sounds". When I heard the scratching (Grand Wizard Kay Gee, AKA Keith Shocklee), It blew my Fucking mind. I needed to learn how this noise was made. So I did.

5) THE COMMODORES - "NIGHTSHIFT"

I first heard this on the Mike Allen Show on Capital Radio. My Mum had heard an advert for this show and put me onto it. I was about 13. I spent the next few years staying up into the early hours with a radio and tape recorder, often in bed, educating myself with the only easily accessible source of Hip Hop and Rap in the UK. He would often play this tune at the end of the show, 1am on a Saturday morning, and I loved it, I still love it now. It's a beautiful auditory tribute to a beautiful artist. R.I.P. Marvin Gaye.

6) TROUBLEFUNK - "SO EARLY IN THE MORNING"

Another one from The Mike Allen Show. This tune was amazing and, apart from "Pump Me Up", was my entry tune to the sound of Washington D.C's finest export...Go-Go. To this day, I love Go-Go and before I die, I will go to Washington D.C. and watch this Shit live.

7) TROUBLEFUNK - "PUMP ME UP" TROUBLEFUNK

I first heard this tune when other DJ's were cutting it. I learnt to scratch in 1984/1965. I then heard DJ Cheese cut this on Mike Allen's radio show and my tiny little brain was smashed to Fuck. I went out to Our Price Records and bought my first "Battle Weapon". The "Drop The Bomb" LP. I still cut this now. No one will ever cut this as good as DJ Cash Money on "Scratchin' To The Funk" but that's a story, and a tune, for a different day...

8) DJ JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH PRINCE - "THE MAGNIFICENT JAZZY JEFF"

I could do a whole set just on these two. They were amazing. However, when I first heard this, it was game over. The scratching, the production, the CONCEPT...mind blowing. When the Transformer scratch comes in, I didn't know how the Fuck he did this this. It's my favourite DJ track to this day and, one day, I hope to be a narcissitic Cunt and emulate this track. Over 30 years later and I'm still no further on with a way that I could do it.

9) PUBLIC ENEMY - YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURS (TERMINATOR X GETAWAY VERSION)

Public Enemy Number One" was the first track I'd heard from them. I went out and bought the LP and it was life changing. "You're Gonna Get Yours" was one of the stand out tracks for me. Hard, driven by a Funk break and a statement. And then I heard this version. I nearly died. This, for me, was the ultimate Scratch DJ remix of a tune. It was an amazing track in its own right. Johnny Juice's cuts on this track were just mind blowing. Rough, hard, technically genius and timeless. Still to this day, this track makes the hairs on my neck stand up and all I wanna do is smash Shit up when I hear it. A MASSIVELY influential track to me as a Scratch DJ. Salute, Johnny Juice. Serial cut killer.

10) SCHOOLLY D - "PSK (WHAT DOES IT MEAN)"

1987 and I went to my first proper Hip Hop gig. Schoolly D at The Astoria in London. Fucking carnage. Got drunk, avoided being mugged, missed the last train home but, more importantly, watched DJ Code Money cutting "Uphill Peace Of Mind" live. Seminal moment for me. He was amazing. Those Philly DJ's were on some next level Shit and made all the NYC DJ's look like children. The cuts on this, the massively reverbed drums, the nasty gangster lyrics were a step up for Hip Hop. I loved it.

11) THE SUPREMES AND THE FOUR TOPS - "LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH"

It's 1986/1987 and I'd discovered how to cut breaks, thanks to DJ Prone and Sam Price. I raided my Mum's record collection and found this. It was a bona fide, 100% drum break that no one in my circle knew about, I didn't tell any Fucker what it was. I was now on the path of a drum break digger. Cheers, Mum!

12) JIMI HENDRIX - "LITTLE MISS LOVER"

The BBC documentary "Bad Meaning Good" had just come out. DJ Fingers was on it, cutting breaks. I videoed that and watched that footage over and over and over again...One of them was amazing...I realised it was a Jimi Hendrix track, "Little Miss Lover". I smashed the arse out of it. This is a live version. Those drums are beautiful. God Bless Mitch Mitchell.

13) MC MERLIN - "DROP THE PRESSURE"

Hard. As. Fuck. I used this in my 1990 Technics/DMC UK Final routine. Monster of a tune. End of.

14) MC MELLO - "A TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE ART"

This tune. Years ahead of it's time. By 1990, I was a 2 times Technics/DMC champion and had caught the attention of one of my DJ hero's, DJ Pogo. We got on very well, he ended up being one of my best friends and my entry into a Hip Hop family of virtual royalty was complete. Mello was, and still is, a pure savage of an MC and I still count my blessings that I know him. DJ Pogo's production on the track is nothing less than genius. This, coupled with Sparkii's production for much of the LP, makes an amazing snapshot of how certain British UK Hip Hop acts managed to get a timeless sound. Family for life."

15) DOUBLE DEE AND STEINSKI - "LESSON THREE"

I'm big on cut n paste tunes. This, for me, is the ultimate. I first heard it on a Mike Allen show and then got the bootleg "Lessons" 12's in about 1990. I still cut this now and will forever. Ultimate DJ tool, encompassing Hip Hop, Funk, Geekness, Dancefloor fillingness and pure smiles for miles. Killer.

16) URBAN SHAKEDOWN - "DO IT NOW DO IT NOW"

BY 1991, I'd started to become "a face". Id been on the front cover of DJ World magazine, was in a DMC video, had been on TV, was knocking around with the creme de la creme of London's Hip Hop and fashion scene....and had firmly disappeared up my own Arse. At the end of 1991, and for the next 3 years or so, I took a step back and started doing some underground different Shit. I loved Raves. The freedom, the idiocy, the fast Hip Hop breaks, the partying, the weirdness of scratching at 100000mph, the acclaim from people that weren't judging me from a competition level. I ended up doing all sorts of very weird Shit, in very weird places, with very weird people. It was time to level myself, re-assess and take a step back. This tune summed up my out-of-control mind set at that time.

17) ACEN - "LIFE AND CRIMES OF A ROUGHNECK"

Read the above...this tune is a Fucking killer.

18) THE PERSONATIONS AND ORGANISATION - "FUTURE II"

1996.1995....I'd been up to a lot of stupid Shit. Least of which was selling this tune. A few years before this, my mentor was a guy called Bill Shannon. He owned a shop called "Timewarp". He introduced me to a world of Fuckery that I will never forget. One day, he came back from a digging trip in the states and said "Dom, I've got a break for you". He played it to me. It was this. I nearly Shit myself over the intro drums.. And then I heard the break three quarters into the tune. I was nearly dribbling. I asked him if A, I could have it and B, if he had another one. He answered yes to both. I paid £15.00 for them. When things got tight, I sold them,. For £40.00. I thought I was a massively clever Cunt...until I tried to track another couple of copies down. The last time I found this for sale it was selling at £1800.00. Each. Lesson learnt. Never again.

19) PORTISHEAD - "STRANGERS"

After some life threatening behaviour, Its 1996 and I'm back in the game. DJ Chud was part of a rescue package that turned me on to "Trip Hop"...Portishead was at the front of this new Shit. When I heard this track, I ended up using it in my "comeback" Technics/DMC routine for the 1996 UK finals. Geoff Barrow and Andy Smith were judging at the Bristol heat that I entered and actually came up to me, thanked me and were so happy that I'd used it in my routine. I didn't even know who the Fuck they were at that time but when I look back, that was a beautiful moment. I hope I done you proud, This is the live version from New York, It makes the hairs on my neck stand up.

20) DIVERSION TACTICS - "PUBS, DRUNKS AND HIP HOP"

2002.2001...I was firmly back as a "Turntablist" and Hip Hop DJ, I'd formed a DJ crew, called The Steel Devils, and one of those crew members was DJ Jazz T. I'd originally met him battling him in the early 90's and considered him my nemesis. We were so similar but different that I consider him, to this day, as my mirror. i had the incredible honour of hm asking me to do cuts on the title track of the Diversion Tactics LP of the same name. The lyrics on this are amazing and still make me laugh to this day.

21) DIVERSION TACTICS (FEATURING DJ MIRACLE, DJ JAZZ T, DEEJAY RANDOM, DJ BIZZNIZZ AND DJ POGO) - "THE TURNTABLISTS"

Love this tune. 2010. EP from Diversion Tactics, I reached out to my "older brothers", DJ Bizznizz and DJ Pogo to do a turntablist track...this was the result.

22) THE KING ROOSTER - " AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THAT"

I love to cut breaks. REALLY love to cut breaks. In the last few years, I'm loving the new Funk that is coming out. I stumbled across this band and they are FUCKING AMAZING. The breaks are absolutely savage and I will cut this Shit until the day I die.

23) THE COMMODORES - "THE ASSEMBLY LINE"

The most amazing break ever made. It took me years to find out what this was. And the track is timeless. Those drums. Absolutely barbaric and terrifying. Fuck "Funky Drummer". Seriously.]]>

The freedom, the idiocy, the fast Hip Hop breaks, the partying, the weirdness of scratching at 100000mph, the acclaim from people that weren't judging me from a competition level. I ended up doing all sorts of very weird Shit, in very weird places, with very weird people. It was time to level myself, re-assess and take a step back. This tune summed up my out-of-control mind set at that time.

17) ACEN - "LIFE AND CRIMES OF A ROUGHNECK"

Read the above...this tune is a Fucking killer.

18) THE PERSONATIONS AND ORGANISATION - "FUTURE II"

1996.1995....I'd been up to a lot of stupid Shit. Least of which was selling this tune. A few years before this, my mentor was a guy called Bill Shannon. He owned a shop called "Timewarp". He introduced me to a world of Fuckery that I will never forget. One day, he came back from a digging trip in the states and said "Dom, I've got a break for you". He played it to me. It was this. I nearly Shit myself over the intro drums.. And then I heard the break three quarters into the tune. I was nearly dribbling. I asked him if A, I could have it and B, if he had another one. He answered yes to both. I paid £15.00 for them. When things got tight, I sold them,. For £40.00. I thought I was a massively clever Cunt...until I tried to track another couple of copies down. The last time I found this for sale it was selling at £1800.00. Each. Lesson learnt. Never again.

19) PORTISHEAD - "STRANGERS"

After some life threatening behaviour, Its 1996 and I'm back in the game. DJ Chud was part of a rescue package that turned me on to "Trip Hop"...Portishead was at the front of this new Shit. When I heard this track, I ended up using it in my "comeback" Technics/DMC routine for the 1996 UK finals. Geoff Barrow and Andy Smith were judging at the Bristol heat that I entered and actually came up to me, thanked me and were so happy that I'd used it in my routine. I didn't even know who the Fuck they were at that time but when I look back, that was a beautiful moment. I hope I done you proud, This is the live version from New York, It makes the hairs on my neck stand up.

20) DIVERSION TACTICS - "PUBS, DRUNKS AND HIP HOP"

2002.2001...I was firmly back as a "Turntablist" and Hip Hop DJ, I'd formed a DJ crew, called The Steel Devils, and one of those crew members was DJ Jazz T. I'd originally met him battling him in the early 90's and considered him my nemesis. We were so similar but different that I consider him, to this day, as my mirror. i had the incredible honour of hm asking me to do cuts on the title track of the Diversion Tactics LP of the same name. The lyrics on this are amazing and still make me laugh to this day.

21) DIVERSION TACTICS (FEATURING DJ MIRACLE, DJ JAZZ T, DEEJAY RANDOM, DJ BIZZNIZZ AND DJ POGO) - "THE TURNTABLISTS"

Love this tune. 2010. EP from Diversion Tactics, I reached out to my "older brothers", DJ Bizznizz and DJ Pogo to do a turntablist track...this was the result.

22) THE KING ROOSTER - " AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THAT"

I love to cut breaks. REALLY love to cut breaks. In the last few years, I'm loving the new Funk that is coming out. I stumbled across this band and they are FUCKING AMAZING. The breaks are absolutely savage and I will cut this Shit until the day I die.

23) THE COMMODORES - "THE ASSEMBLY LINE"

The most amazing break ever made. It took me years to find out what this was. And the track is timeless. Those drums. Absolutely barbaric and terrifying. Fuck "Funky Drummer". Seriously.]]> 4405643 no no Sun, 23 Feb 2020 10:20:59 +0100 2020-02-23T10:20:59+01:00 1:53:12 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0620-dusk-dubs-conor-kenny/

Time: 95 Minutes
Date: 2020-02-16

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Conor Kenny.

“Belfast is essentially a house and techno city…” This DuskDubs session delves into the electronic scene of the early to mid-1990s Belfast. A scene where I lived and breathed every day by surrounding myself with like-minded, musical souls. I spent all of my free time and loose change in many of the independent record stores dotted around the city centre. Immersing myself in the music, conversation and love of what it had to offer. The dancefloor destinations were often hand-picked depending on who was on the flyer or if some of the local guys were setting up a new night.

This session is inspired by the sounds that came from those hardy local DJs and record stores in the city, from guest DJs who frequently came at a time when Belfast was not a safe destination or from friends who, like myself, were purchasing music like there was no tomorrow. This in turn created some wonderful house and after-club parties. Belfast, at this time, was a volatile city. It wasn’t a safe place to venture out at night. Regular shootings and infrequent bombings were a common occurrence. However the burgeoning electronic scene was ripening fast and its ever growing participants were more than receptive to whatever it had to provide. A glorious alternative to the dark, murky societal problems that was blighting this wonderful city. The club was a safe haven, reaching all corners of a paralysed and parallel society. Whilst ‘peace’ walls were being erected across the city’s interface areas to keep communities apart, clubs were breaking them down and bringing them together.

This is personal insight into the musical influences that I experienced during this time. I’ve tried to capture that one-off night experience with the tempo ranging from slow beat-less burners, gradually increasing the tension on the dancefloor with steady house and techno builders before bringing the climatic night back down towards the end. The inspiration for the selections come from the regular guest DJ slots. People like Paul Daley, Andrew Weatherall, Laurent Garnier and the many visitors from Detroit helped to mould and nurture the local scene with their own craft and knowledge. The local electronic scene is forever indebted to the sweat and toil of the city’s very own talisman, David Holmes, who pioneered both an individual sound as a producer and created some of the most magical nights on the city’s dancefloors as a DJ. The house and techno scene often paid homage to the pioneering sound that came from those Detroit and Chicago magicians whilst at the same time allowing room for those European influences to grow and be loved at the same time. There was always space in any set for those electronic influences from the UK, whether it was guys from Slam & Soma Records in Glasgow or the tribal house and early techno movers.

I hope you enjoy this session” [[ Conor ]]

**Tracklisting **

1) Terry Callier - Lazarus Man
Terry Callier is amazingly talented writer. This track is deeply atmospheric. The song has great story telling lyrics with some biblical references.

2) Gil Scott Heron - Home is where the hatred is
What a track! Another amazing lyricists. When I decided to focus on lyrics with this Dusk Dubs GSH had to be included. Taken From The Pieces Of A Man LP(I included the title track on an earlier Dusk Dubs session.)

3) Blackalious - 40oz For Breakfast
From a track about a drug addict to one about an alcoholic and the life effects of using drink as a crutch

4) De La Soul - Millie pulled a pistol on Santa
This track is lyrically a million miles away from 3 feet high and rising. Amazing story telling with a dark subject matter!

5) J-Rawls (Feat J-Live) - Great Live Caper
Part 1 of the story. The great live caper cleverly tells the story of a break in, but what was the motive?

6) Public Enemy - Black steel in the hour of chaos
One of Hip Hops greatest lyricists. Chuck D tells the story of being locked up in a 'State pin.' I always love that Hip Hop has so many sides to it. Public Enemy cemented their place in political Hip Hop, with a Strong message.

7) The Message - Grandmaster Flash + The Furious Five
Unbelievable that this record came out in 1982. I still remember as a young kid it blowing my mind. From the days of early party rocking hip hop, this one appeared from out of the shadows.

8) Nas - One Love
Taken from the seminal album Illmatic. I could have picked most tracks from this album. To me this albums like a soundtrack to a film that was never written.

9) J-Live - Audio Visual
Probably my favourite lyricist. J-Live really has a way with words. Audio Visual is great title, it sums up this record to me... 'I paint a picture in your mind, with each line`

10) Big L - Ebonics
The late Big L was a seriously talented MC. He left us with some amazing tracks and legendary freestyles. This track is translates the language of the street 'Speak with criminal slang'

11) Rip Shop - Versus
Love this track from Boston`s Rip Shop. It brilliantly tells the story of the changing Hip Hop scene and the battle between real hip hop and the commercial nonsense.'Hip Hop is not pop, if you call it that then stop'

12) Pharoahe Monch (feat Common + Talib kweli) - The Truth
Three of my favourite MC`s on this track, all amazing, conscious lyricists. So many quotable lines in this one.

13) Talib Kweli - Good Morning
Taken from his seminal album with Hi-Tek, Reflection Eternal. This album is a personal one for me. Talib`s lyrics are deep and multi layered, they reward repeat listens.

14) Little Dragon - Twice
The track is beautifully haunting. The lyrics give you enough to hook you in but leave a lot to interpretation. If you haven't seen the video, go watch it!

15) Nina Simone - Misunderstood
Ive been a fan of Nina Simone`s music for years. I recently watched the documentary 'What Happened, Miss Simone' and it gave me a new depth and perspective on certain tracks. This was definitely the case with this one!

16) Handsome Boy Modelling School - The Truth
The second ‘Truth’ track in this Dusk Dubs (I recently released my own ;)) Using the Galt MacDermot track to perfection. This is a beautiful song that gets taken to the next level by J-Live.]]>

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

Daniel ‘Venom’ Maunick, hailing from Hackney in London, has been involved with music ever since he can remember.

The son of Jean-Paul 'Bluey' Maunick of Incognito, growing up in his father’s studio around incredible artists like Stevie Wonder, George Benson & Phillip Bailey, he started as a DJ in the drum & bass scene in the early 90’s, recording his first track, a collaboration with D&B superstar Shy-FX at just 15 years of age.

”These tracks are a snapshot of my musical DNA...

Tunes that I have returned to again & again since I first heard them & that I listened to a lot making my album.

Hard to come up with any definitive list of favourites ever, as it changes every day, but these represent an overview of all the music that has inspired me since I was a kid.” [[ Daniel ]]

**Tracklisting **

1) Weather Report - Havona - Heavy Weather (1977)

I was lucky to grow up surrounded by Jazz Funk, Soul & Fusion music & this record was always around, my entire life.
Absolute sorcery from Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, Alex Acuna & the master & composer of this track…Jaco Pastorius.
The cover of this LP hangs on my bedroom wall to this day.

2) Azymuth - This Exists (Existe Isto) - Light As A Feather (1979)

This is another group that was part of my childhood, my dad was listening a lot to these guys when he started his first bands like Light Of The World & Incognito. It was a dream come true, to meet the guys, become friends & eventually get to produce & make music with them! Though we sadly lost founder keyboard player, Jose Roberto Bertrami a few years ago, their music is eternal & will be celebrated & live forever.

This is a devastating piece of music, the musicians are on fire, almost on the verge of crashing & burning coz they are pushing the envelope of their signature jazz funk grooves so far! Way ahead of it’s time…

3) Marcos Valle - Democustico - Vento Sul (1972)

My friend & teacher, the great Marcos Valle…So many tunes I could have picked from so many eras & albums.

This song is just incredible, political poetry over dank Brazilian rhythms, euphoric flutes & Psyche guitars…outstanding, original, essential!

4) Public Enemy Featuring Ice Cube & Big Daddy Kane - Burn Hollywood Burn - Fear Of A Black Planet (1990)

Public Enemy were a huge influence on me, musically, culturally & also taught me a lot about history & reality…
Joined by the great Big Daddy Kane & Ice Cube, they totally destroy the facade & racist bullshit, of Hollywood in less than 3 minutes…

The Bombsquad’s productions are so epic & it totally hurts my head thinking how they put these tracks together on primitive samplers & without modern computer editing etc. Just incredible work, that still get’s me hype.

5) Slum Village Featuring D’Angelo - Tell Me - Fantastic Vol.2 (1998)

This track features 2 of the most influential musicians for me, of the modern era…Jay Dee AKA J-Dilla & D’Angelo. The sound, the swing, the soul…when I first heard it I knew the game had changed & the artform had been elevated.
Dilla’s loss was tragic but glad to see how over the years he has been recognised as a true pioneer & maverick, to be held up alongside the likes of Miles, Coltrane & Quincy, in musical importance.

6) Soul II Soul - Keep On Movin’ - Club Classics Vol. One (1989)

Local guys that were from my neck of the woods, this album completely ruled inner city London the year it dropped…It was more than just a band, it was a movement, kinda like Public Enemy… Spellbinding, drum machine soul classic that still sounds perfect.

7) Missy Elliott Featuring Magoo & 702 - Beep Me 911 - Supa Dupa Fly (1997)

Timbaland & Missy’s work from this time really pushed the genre of R&B/Soul music to a new dimension… When I first heard I thought “This is the future” & it still sounds like the future to me…

8) Marvin Gaye - Sad Tomorrows - Motown 7” (1971)

The king…no words could ever do him justice. I adore this early version of the song that would later be renamed ‘Flying High (In The Friendly Sky)’ on his masterpiece ‘What’s Going On’.

9) The Montclairs - Beggin’ Is Hard To Do - Dreaming Out Of Season (1972)

My absolute favourite rare soul album of all time, just so raw & dirty, yet beautiful & harmonic at the same time… This tune hurts me it’s so good…

10) Ahmad Jamal - Death & Resurrection - Jamal Plays Jamal (1974)

Ahmad Jamal’s music simply bewitches me. This is, in my opinion the apex of music, playing & composition… Just spellbinding.

11) Sylvester - Over And Over (Extended 12” Mix) - Fantasy 12” (1977)

Listen to those damn voices! The greatest vocal session ever recorded, absolute disco fire!

12) Incognito - Summer’s Ended - Ensign 12” (1980)

My favourite track from my Dad’s band…Incognito. I was in the studio for some of these sessions but can’t remember much as I was only about 2 years old at the time! I may be biased, but Tubb’s bass playing on this is possibly the best I’ve ever heard…Jazz Funk done right!

13) Johnny Hammond - Tell Me What To Do - Gears (1975)

Just one of the absolute masterpieces produced by the Incredible Mizell Brothers, I aspire to their production level every time I go into a studio & they inspire me in all I do… This is a tour de force of funk & soul by some of the greatest musicians to ever live.

14) Larry Heard - Missing You - Genesis (1999)

Larry is God! If you make any kind of house/dance music whatsoever you are standing in his shadow. This is a devastating example of his mastery of emotion, you feel it in every chord & every word, he is just the best.

15) Nu Yorican Soul - The Nervous Track (Ballsy Mix) - Nervous 12” (1993)

This tune was such a breakthrough in dance music, far deeper & forward thinking than anything at the time, it completely stunned me when I first heard it, a track that still influences me, 25 years later & hasn’t aged a day.

16) Moodymann - Amerika - KDJ 12” (1997)

Moodymann should be mentioned alongside people like Prince, Hendrix & George Clinton, as a true original, rule breaking, unique artist. This tune is a lesson in how to hypnotize the listener, sparse…using very few elements, but executed to absolute perfection…

17) Augustus Pablo - 555 Dub Street - King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown (1976)

King Tubby is the least appreciated figure in music to me…criminally undermentioned in the history of modern music, his influence is all over every genre that has sprung up in the last 40 years, I hear his mark on everything, from hip hop & deep house, to Dubstep & Jungle, one of the greatest producers of all time. This track with Augustus Pablo is my fav of his, the live desk work is just amazing.

18) John Barry - Space March (Capsule In Space) - John Barry Conducts His Greatest Movie Hits (1967)

One of my earliest obsessions was James Bond movies. As I got older I realized that, as great as the films are…It’s the music that made them special for me. Barry’s chords are just the best i’ve ever heard & no one can do tension & euphoria like the master. This is my favourite of many incredible pieces he did for the Bond flicks.

19) Japan - My New Career - Gentlemen Take Polaroids (1980)

David Sylvian & Mick Karn are in incredible form on this slice of new romantic pop wizardry, Japan are a very interesting band, that have been kinda lost amongst the lesser clones that stole from them. Absolutely love Japan & Sylvians later work with Sakamoto too. I listen to a lot of stuff like this & Kate Bush from that time & Though it’s not something you’d play in a club, it’s great to get to share it here, with people who might not usually check music like this.

20) Hefner - An Evening With Hefner Part 3 - Inertia 12” (1998)

Ahh man what an incredible tune, simply spellbinding. From a very interesting time in British music, future jazz/broken beat was just forming at the time & a lot of people were fusing different styles & coming up with incredibly unique & new sounding music, this is a perfect example.

21) Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy - Blue Lines (1991)

The absolute masterpiece of modern music…enough said!

22) Rufige Kru - Ghosts Of My Life - Ghosts E.P. (1993)

Goldie & the Reinforced guys really inspired me to start making music, it wasn’t til hardcore & jungle came into my life that I thought I want to make music & be a part of this scene… This is a haunting epic, that still mystifies me the same way it did as a teen.

23) Demon’s Theme - L.T.J. Bukem - Good Looking 12” (1992)

This track was one of the first tracks of the hardcore era that pushed the genre into territory where it became a true, new original genre… Euphoric stuff from a real pioneer!

24) Dillinja - The Angels Fell - Metalheadz 12” (1995)

My favourite track of all time…This made me really want to improve as an artist & producer & push boundaries & sounds to the next level. 

25) Mach Hommy - Bloody Penthouse - H.B.O. (2016)

Something relatively new! As you can see from my list I pretty much listen to older music & i’m not really into a lot of things that are considered trendy these days! But I think it’s always important to recognise, support & spread any new artists that I dig. I do listen to a lot of current underground hip hop though & this dude Mach-Hommy is someone whose music i’ve been listening to obsessively the last few years. An enigma & a genius, he is breaking new artistic ground in a well trodden & often stale genre, so go check out Mach-Hommy if you like great hip hop! ]]>

**Tracklisting **

1) Weather Report - Havona - Heavy Weather (1977)

I was lucky to grow up surrounded by Jazz Funk, Soul & Fusion music & this record was always around, my entire life.
Absolute sorcery from Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, Alex Acuna & the master & composer of this track…Jaco Pastorius.
The cover of this LP hangs on my bedroom wall to this day.

2) Azymuth - This Exists (Existe Isto) - Light As A Feather (1979)

This is another group that was part of my childhood, my dad was listening a lot to these guys when he started his first bands like Light Of The World & Incognito. It was a dream come true, to meet the guys, become friends & eventually get to produce & make music with them! Though we sadly lost founder keyboard player, Jose Roberto Bertrami a few years ago, their music is eternal & will be celebrated & live forever.

This is a devastating piece of music, the musicians are on fire, almost on the verge of crashing & burning coz they are pushing the envelope of their signature jazz funk grooves so far! Way ahead of it’s time…

3) Marcos Valle - Democustico - Vento Sul (1972)

My friend & teacher, the great Marcos Valle…So many tunes I could have picked from so many eras & albums.

This song is just incredible, political poetry over dank Brazilian rhythms, euphoric flutes & Psyche guitars…outstanding, original, essential!

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Paydro Barr for another superb mixtape.

"Allow me to reintroduce myself!.............DJ Paydro, aka Mr Two Tunes, Dad, Vinyl Junkie and Record Collector, some time ago now the good people at Dusk Dubs asked me to supply them with a selection of music for their collection of selections, I was honoured to oblige and got on to sending them the selection, the selection was too long for the recommended time allowed so I had to halve the selection, so here I am back again with the selection that didn’t quite make the first cut. 

These are some adventures into dance music and electronica that have shaped me and made me the person I am today, you can catch me every Tuesday on Itch FM doing my Breaks & Soul Show, every last Monday of the Month on Itch FM doing the Hip Hop Back In The Day Show and also every second and last Sunday of each month on Life FM where I play Classic & Upfront Jungle/D&B."  [[ Paydro ]]

You can find the Paydro HERE:

**Tracklisting**

1 ) Abstract Truth - We Had A Thing

My cousin DJ Maddex introduced me to this track and I instantly fell in love with it, what’s more is that this is not even the original version of the song, this remix really makes the track work and has resulted in me never playing the original version.

2 )Soul Fuzio - I got rhythm (Kenny Dope Mix)

Another song I instantly fell in love with, the legendary Kenny Dope Gonzalez goes to work on this track and the end result is sheer bliss & perfection, real feel good factor music, house/dance music at its very very best.

3 ) AG Thomas - The 1 2 (The Reelsoul Mix)

Once again this tune is one of those tunes that from the beat starts you start to move straight away and then after a couple of bars they give you what I like to call the Indication Melody just to show you where the tune is going to take you then the bass comes in and you’re off, this is the embodiment of Soulful House Music.

4 ) Teresa Jenee - Remember (Yoruba Soul Mix)

This tune I actually came across by accident one night while I was looking for something on you tube, so I kept listening then went online and ordered it, this was one of those 2 or 3am must have spur of the moment purchases, very simple tune but oh so effective.

5 ) Any Winehouse - In My Bed (Bugz in the Attic Mix)

This song right here is classic example of when a remix sounds as though it should have been the original version of the song, I’m not the biggest Amy Winehouse (R.I.P) fan but this remix brings the absolute best out of her vocals and remains one of my all time favourite remixes of any of her songs.

6 ) Nicolette - Dove Song

Wowzers, going all the way back with this one nineteen ninety and the mighty Shut Up & Dance came with What was at that particular time one of the most future forward futuristic sounding beat which was really ahead of its time and also reminds me of a little place we used to go to in Watford, little pub come club in the middle of the roundabout, it’s now A Toby Carvery.

7 ) Tronik House - Up Tempo (Original Mix)

Another 90’s Classic, 1991 to be precise my fondest memory of this tune is DJ Hype playing this at Holloway Road’s Rocket and cutting n scratching over the top of this tune within an inch of its life, excellent, those were the the days.

8 ) Rhythim Is Rhythim - It Is What It Is

Think I first heard Colin Dale play this one on the radio way back, he had it in a mix, I straight wore the tape out with all the rewinds, took me a while to track the tune down and finally got it from Music Power in Harringey.

9 ) The Black Dog - Virtual

Stone cold classic from 1989 and again another track I first played on the radio and again it was another one where I didn’t know what it was called and I had to describe it to the guy in the record shop, props to him for knowing what tune it was by me saying there’s a sample in it that says “The Monsters & demons beckoning to me” this track is 10 mins of lovely ambient breakbeat electronica.

10) Breach - Jack

Ha, there had to be one tune in my selection that started off on the underground but eventually made its way into the national chats, took me a hot minute to find this one and for a moment you couldn’t get it anywhere, I kept a close ear to the ground and finally got a copy from Discogs for a reasonable price, job done!

11) Ryuici Sakamoto - Riot in Lagos

What a blinder if a track, released in 1983 so ahead of its time and stands the test of time, I don’t know one B Boy who didn’t love to Break & Pop to this tune, Big Big Tune, I first heard this by way of an older cousin and will remain as one of those tunes that you’ll never forget when you first heard it or where you were.

12 ) Jon Hopkins Ft Purity Ring - Breathe this Air

This one’s a bit of a wildcard for me, I was watching a TV Show House of Lies and this track was featured at the end of an episode so I reached for my trusty Shazam (as you do) and then set about the task of trying to procure a copy on vinyl...I managed to find a LTD Edition hand stamped copy from a one off live performance the did somewhere in the US 23rd August 2013 of which there is a lone copy left on the cogs for quite a bit more than I paid for mine!

13 ) Lil Louis & The World - Saved My Life

Had to conclude this selection with a nice classic happy track from the legend that is Lil Louis I remember working in Tower Records Piccadilly Circus when the album came out and playing it for the first time, the whole album bangs, I love all the tracks on this album and dedicate this whole selection to our good friend Robert (Bob The Oracle) Farmer who also liked this album and was one of the dopest music collectors I’ve ever known (R.I.P)]]>

"Allow me to reintroduce myself!.............DJ Paydro, aka Mr Two Tunes, Dad, Vinyl Junkie and Record Collector, some time ago now the good people at Dusk Dubs asked me to supply them with a selection of music for their collection of selections, I was honoured to oblige and got on to sending them the selection, the selection was too long for the recommended time allowed so I had to halve the selection, so here I am back again with the selection that didn’t quite make the first cut. 

These are some adventures into dance music and electronica that have shaped me and made me the person I am today, you can catch me every Tuesday on Itch FM doing my Breaks & Soul Show, every last Monday of the Month on Itch FM doing the Hip Hop Back In The Day Show and also every second and last Sunday of each month on Life FM where I play Classic & Upfront Jungle/D&B."  [[ Paydro ]]

**Tracklisting**

1 ) Abstract Truth - We Had A Thing

My cousin DJ Maddex introduced me to this track and I instantly fell in love with it, what’s more is that this is not even the original version of the song, this remix really makes the track work and has resulted in me never playing the original version.

2 )Soul Fuzio - I got rhythm (Kenny Dope Mix)

Another song I instantly fell in love with, the legendary Kenny Dope Gonzalez goes to work on this track and the end result is sheer bliss & perfection, real feel good factor music, house/dance music at its very very best.

3 ) AG Thomas - The 1 2 (The Reelsoul Mix)

Once again this tune is one of those tunes that from the beat starts you start to move straight away and then after a couple of bars they give you what I like to call the Indication Melody just to show you where the tune is going to take you then the bass comes in and you’re off, this is the embodiment of Soulful House Music.

4 ) Teresa Jenee - Remember (Yoruba Soul Mix)

This tune I actually came across by accident one night while I was looking for something on you tube, so I kept listening then went online and ordered it, this was one of those 2 or 3am must have spur of the moment purchases, very simple tune but oh so effective.

5 ) Any Winehouse - In My Bed (Bugz in the Attic Mix)

This song right here is classic example of when a remix sounds as though it should have been the original version of the song, I’m not the biggest Amy Winehouse (R.I.P) fan but this remix brings the absolute best out of her vocals and remains one of my all time favourite remixes of any of her songs.

6 ) Nicolette - Dove Song

Wowzers, going all the way back with this one nineteen ninety and the mighty Shut Up & Dance came with What was at that particular time one of the most future forward futuristic sounding beat which was really ahead of its time and also reminds me of a little place we used to go to in Watford, little pub come club in the middle of the roundabout, it’s now A Toby Carvery.

7 ) Tronik House - Up Tempo (Original Mix)

Another 90’s Classic, 1991 to be precise my fondest memory of this tune is DJ Hype playing this at Holloway Road’s Rocket and cutting n scratching over the top of this tune within an inch of its life, excellent, those were the the days.

8 ) Rhythim Is Rhythim - It Is What It Is

Think I first heard Colin Dale play this one on the radio way back, he had it in a mix, I straight wore the tape out with all the rewinds, took me a while to track the tune down and finally got it from Music Power in Harringey.

9 ) The Black Dog - Virtual

Stone cold classic from 1989 and again another track I first played on the radio and again it was another one where I didn’t know what it was called and I had to describe it to the guy in the record shop, props to him for knowing what tune it was by me saying there’s a sample in it that says “The Monsters & demons beckoning to me” this track is 10 mins of lovely ambient breakbeat electronica.

10) Breach - Jack

Ha, there had to be one tune in my selection that started off on the underground but eventually made its way into the national chats, took me a hot minute to find this one and for a moment you couldn’t get it anywhere, I kept a close ear to the ground and finally got a copy from Discogs for a reasonable price, job done!

11) Ryuici Sakamoto - Riot in Lagos

What a blinder if a track, released in 1983 so ahead of its time and stands the test of time, I don’t know one B Boy who didn’t love to Break & Pop to this tune, Big Big Tune, I first heard this by way of an older cousin and will remain as one of those tunes that you’ll never forget when you first heard it or where you were.

12 ) Jon Hopkins Ft Purity Ring - Breathe this Air

This one’s a bit of a wildcard for me, I was watching a TV Show House of Lies and this track was featured at the end of an episode so I reached for my trusty Shazam (as you do) and then set about the task of trying to procure a copy on vinyl...I managed to find a LTD Edition hand stamped copy from a one off live performance the did somewhere in the US 23rd August 2013 of which there is a lone copy left on the cogs for quite a bit more than I paid for mine!

13 ) Lil Louis & The World - Saved My Life

Had to conclude this selection with a nice classic happy track from the legend that is Lil Louis I remember working in Tower Records Piccadilly Circus when the album came out and playing it for the first time, the whole album bangs, I love all the tracks on this album and dedicate this whole selection to our good friend Robert (Bob The Oracle) Farmer who also liked this album and was one of the dopest music collectors I’ve ever known (R.I.P)]]> 4304139 no no Sun, 26 Jan 2020 02:01:09 +0100 2020-01-26T02:01:09+01:00 1:18:58 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0616-dusk-dubs-ink-project/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite the Ink Project to the Dusk Dubs family.

Ink Project are a live electronic/soul collective run by multi-instrumentalist/producer Jez Lloyd and feature guest vocalists Coreysan, FiFi Rong and Mel Dymond amongst others. Since 2011, they’ve released two albums and 4 EP’s and have also played live shows around Europe with the likes of Dorian Concept, Dreadzone, Sorceress, iBibio Sound Machine and many more. They’re currently finishing a third album due for release sometime in 2020.

DJ-wise, Jez plays regularly around the UK and recently held a residency at Brighton’s Patterns nightclub playing his own style of ‘alien funk’ - a sublime mix of groove-based down-tempo/electronica, dub, leftfield disco, breaks, electro, house, techno and more.

Jez also runs Brighton’s Blind Colour label releasing music from Ink Project, FiFi Rong, Black Square, Rounds, Nate Connelly, Gongkreeper, The Left Rib and more: www.blindcolour.com

**Tracklisting**

1) Dead Can Dance - The Carnival Is Over

I’ve been a huge fan of Dead Can Dance since my late teens and my favourite albums of theirs are probably ‘Spiritchaser’, ‘Into The Labyrinth’ and ‘Towards The Within’. It’s incredibly expressive, spiritual, world music with substance and Brendan Perry comes across as a kind of gothic Frank Sinatra with his warm vocal tones. Seeing them live is always a real treat.

2) Depeche Mode - Higher Love

Another major influence on me musically and probably my favourite cult band of all time. ‘Songs Of Love, Faith And Devotion’ being a particular highlight in terms of the songwriting and overall atmosphere, with Flood, Alan Wilder, Martin Gore and Dave Gahan really hitting the perfect balance between electronica, rock, soul and gospel. The whole album is an absolute masterpiece which I always come back to again and again.

3) Nu Guinea - Prelude

This is really interesting, melodic, jazzy Afrobeat funk and features Tony Allen who I’m a big fan of and saw play with Jeff Mills once. It even reminds me a bit of Miles Davis’s ‘On The Corner’ album from his experimental jazz/funk phase.

4) Rahsaan Nova - Sundiata

Modern, experimental, instrumental hip hop beats and funk at its best. Rahsaan’s latest album is brilliant and I play it a lot.

5) Flying Lotus - Tea Leaf Dancers

After first hearing her collaborate with Bonobo, I’ve always loved Andrea Triana’svoice. Her ethereal vocals on this track, floating over Flying Lotus’s amazing production make it a stand-out slice of soothing, modern, electronic soul at its best. I also love the use of sidechaining!

6) Burial - Shell Of Light

The moods and feelings Burial is able to bring through in his music are sublime, making him such an amazing and unique vibe merchant. This is one of my favourite tracks off his classic ‘Untrue’ album.

7) Second Hand Satellites - Orbit 1.3

I first heard this played out by the legendary Eddie Richards, at 3am during an infamous Wiggle party in London. The atmosphere was smoky and hazy so hearing the samples ‘beautiful’ and ‘strange’ over the soundsystem had everyone hypnotised. It’s no wonder that this is now an bonefide electro classic that I still own a vinyl copy of.

8) The Black Dog - In The Light Of Grey

Talking of electro classics, some of the early Black Dog productions are well worth checking out, with this track taken from their classic ‘Temple Of Transparent Balls’ album which is an absolute masterpiece.

9) Dexter Wansel - Life On Mars

Classic, sci-fi themed jazz/funk/soul on Philadelphia International Records. The musicianship on this track is second to none and it’s probably the most played funk record in my DJ sets that I can back to again and again.

10) Grace Jones - Use Me

I love how Grace takes reggae and gives it her own, unique stamp. This is a stand out track for me on her excellent ‘Nightclubbing’ album.

11) Original Rockets Meets The Groove Corporation - Stoned (Gold Seal Mix)

The Doors meets acid house and dub. The perfect combination!

12) House Of Gypsies - Change Is What We Need

The dub side of the famous Todd Terry house classic. It sounds very Neneh Cherry who I’ve always been a big fan of, and mixes in well with tougher house records.

13) Love From San Francisco - Keep Rockin (Thumpin House Mix)

Charles Webster has always been one of my favourite deep house producers and this is one of the many tracks he’s made that flew under the radar when it was first released. It’s also worth listening to a lot of his Presence material if you haven’t heard it before. Funky and smooth as hell.

14) Mission Control - In Your Soul (Trans Mix)

Meditative, ambient, old school house that used to get played a lot at acid house raves in London.

15) Urulu - Flight Pattern

One of my favourite tech house producers right now, I love his quirky, creative use of sci-fi sound design over funky as hell, swingy rhythms.

16) Ex-Terrestrial - Urth Man

I've been loving Ex-Terrestrial's releases of late. This one is a lush mix of breakbeat, funky 303 and soothing ambient. this track really gets the dance floor and any afterparty or chill out session going. Very colourful music.

17) Fukutomi & Future Homosapiens - Peg (Landslide Off-Beat Dub)

I’ve always been a big fan of the West London broken beat sound and am really glad it’s made a resurgence of late. This track bring one of my faves from down the years. Seriously funky and amazingly programmed!

18) Prince - Erotic City

It’s obviously hard to choose one stand out track from his genius back catalogue but this is probably my favourite Prince song of all time.

19) Nine Inch Nails - That’s What I Get

I’ve always been a big fan of Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor’s ability to fuse rock and electronics together so well. This track is one of my favourites off their classic ‘Pretty Hate Machine’ album.

20) Sleaford Mods - Tied Up In Nottz

Like Marmite, it seems most people either love them or hate them, but there’s no denying these guys are a powerful duo that manage to convey the frustrations of British society so well in their music. It’s so raw, honest, insulting and aggressive and to me, they are like a modern-day Sex Pistols. I’m a big fan.

21) Lamb - Lusty

This was the first track I heard in the 90’s drum and bass era that inspired me to want to start a live electronic project with vocals - and a few years later, Ink Project was born. I’ve always been a huge fan of Lamb!

22) djRum - Blue Violet

djRum is one of my favourite, newish producers and this track is a pure work of art from start to finish. The synth programming, violin, beats and bass - just beautiful and full of depth, funk and emotion!

23) Squarepusher - Cooper’s World

Genius musicianship channelled via machines. Unique drum and bass funk/soul/boogie from the inimitable Tom Jenkinson. One of my favourite Squarepusher tunes that had a big influence on me!

24) Aphex Twin - Carn Math

If it wasn’t for Aphex Twin, there would probably be no Squarepusher and when I first bought his ‘Richard D James’ album from Beggar’s Banquet in the 90’s, it completely revolutionised music for me and opened my ears to what was possible with electronic music- even if a lot of people at the time dismissed it as ‘weird’ and a bit too ‘out there’. I loved it so much, I used to blast it in my car driving down the motorway to college everyday and to this day, it’s one of the most influential album’s I’ve ever bought.]]>

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Phat Phil Cooper to the Dusk Dubs family.

Maintaining a career for over 25 years is no mean feat in any profession and, when it comes to the world of music it’s even more of an achievement. For Phil, it was the only option; as if his life was predetermined by some universal design.

A music collector from day one, the world of DJing was a natural progression for Phil giving him the perfect platform to share his love of music. Rising up during the super-club era, he was a mainstay at Cream in Liverpool and Amnesia in Ibiza, where he would weave a menagerie of genres into his sets, which often went from the early evenings long into the late afternoons the next day. The depth of knowledge acquired through his voracious appetite for digging providing the foundation for a DJ career that saw him booked to play all over the globe, clocking up a mind-boggling checklist of cities and clubs in the process. Of course, this also means that, over the course of 25+ years behind the decks, he has acquired an unrivalled understanding of his music loving audience. From soundtracking a blissful sunset on a beach or in a lounge bar with general eclectic vibes including Soul, Jazz, World music, Hip Hop, Disco, Punk and Funk and general Balearic oddities, to deeper House and Techno infused sets during the twilight hours at club and warehouse parties.Phil is an authority on DJing.

"This selection has been structured to represent a full day from waking to the end of the night and how the tempos and mood might change… These are all tracks that I love." [[ Phil ]]

**Tracklisting **

1) Miguel Atwood-Ferguson ‘Mezame’ [WAKING]
Serene and full of wonderful strings, for me its very much a piece of music that signifies the start of another positive day. Little or no percussion throughout and full of space to allow the strings to breath, this really is a magnificent outing from LA based multi-instrumentalist, session musician, arranger, producer, DJ and all round top music man, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and the perfect start to this session of music.

2) Leo Lowman ‘Morning Song’ [WAKING]
Notching the tempo up ever so slightly and retaining the very organic feel is this cut from Leo Lowman, taken from the re-issue album LIQUID DIAMONDS on Dutch label, Music From Memory this really is a beautiful.
"I look out on the ocean, as far as I can see, then you are here with me”

3) 4Hero ‘Morning Child’ [WAKING]
So uplifting, like a hit of strong black coffee, this really is a track for sunny mornings, opening the curtains and looking out over the clear blue waters of the Adriatic. Positivity level 10 all round on this.

4) Bill Withers ‘Lovely Day’ [WAKING]
This track will always put a HUGE smile on my face and really sets me up for a day of sunshine even if its a horrible winters morning. This track paints a joyous picture every time I hear it...

5) The Smiths ‘This Charming Man [New York Vocal Mix]’ [AM]
Stepping up the tempo as the day picks up speed and putting a spring in my step, this Francois K mix of The Smiths, rejected by Morrisey as he hated the idea of it being played in a New York Disco is simply brilliant… I was a huge fan of The Smiths and inevitably stumbled into House music via them and a trip to the now defunct Manchester club, The Hacienda in ’88 or ‘89… I always thought this was a fun and humorous track, not drab and grey as many would believe.

6) The The ‘Giant’ [AM]
I remember hearing The The for the first time, they blew my head off, I was living a very monochrome life in drab, dreary North Wales, well that’s how it appeared as an angst ridden teen who just wanted to escape and find multicoloured under lit dance floors al al New York circa late 70’s early 80’s. Its odd as now I long for my return trips the the green, green grass of home. Anyway The The where super edgy, almost angry in delivery but conjured up and 1000 and 1 images of alternative living. I just love how this track warps into something much more than I could have ever expected… The percussion section is outrageous. “How can anyone know me, when I don’t even now myself” this is EXACTLY how I felt back then!!!

7) Terry Callier ‘What Color Is Love’ [LUNCH]
Dropping things back down to what I consider the most beautiful track ever written! The lead track from the album of the same name, this first came on my radar when Terry played in Telfords Warehouse in Chester back in the late 90s. I was in attendance and it was a spiritual moment.

8) John Martyn ‘Solid Air’ [LUNCH]
I was late to the John Martin party, a good friend of mine commented ‘if you like Terry Callier, you will love John’ he was right, both master singer songwriters, their voice and guitar is all they really needed.

9) Miriam Makeba ‘I’mm You’mm We’mm’ [EARLY PM]
From the opening harp sounds to her impeccable vocal this is timeless music. African songstress commands full attention when she powerfully overlays the rhythmic percussion with her vocal.

10) Fela Kuti 'Gbagada Gbagada Gbogodo Gbogodo’ [EARLY PM]
Infectious percussion and rhythmic grooves from Fela. This signifies the build up to sunset, a joyous celebration of the day before the sunsets and nightfalls.

11) The Alps ‘Le Voyage’ [EVENING / SUNSET]
Psych melodic vibes that build and build into the most wonderful crescendo of electric guitar heaven before fading back down to the wonderful atmospheric into vibes… Always best enjoyed as the sun sinks on another day.

12) The Cure ‘Trust’ [EVENING / SUNSET]
Its all about those opening piano chords, then the strings come in (wow), this track when played has moved men and women to tears, it is beautiful… The intro alone is wonderful but then Robert Smith brings in his vocal… SO POWERFUL!

13) Delia Gonzalez - Gavin Russom ‘Relevee [Carl Craig Remix] [EVENING / SUNSET]
Music is about journeys and this piece is certainly about that. 11 minutes of organic synthetic musical mayhem under control by Detroit Techno master, Carl Craig. This is an after dark track, its setting the scene for the rest of the night, the energy and sounds swirling around my head...

14) Gloria Ann Taylor ‘Love Is A Hurtin’ Thing’ [LATE PM]
Soul with so much passion and dare I say, pain. Pure heartfelt, emotive singing and driven by the electric guitar, percussion and strings, raw & unadulterated music. Sounds like she sung this with every ounce of her being...

15) Ragz Nordset ‘You Started It All - Ron Basejam rework’ [LATE PM]
Shameless self promotion! A track I released on my NuNorthern soul label, remixed by old school mate Jim Baron AKA Ron Basejam of Norwegian singer / songwriter Ragz Nordset. This is the epitome of my label sound. Such a haunting vocal and clever use of layers and layers of sounds, instruments and clever use of space make this sound so bloody good.

16) Minnie Riperton ‘Inside My Love’ [LATE PM]
Again more powerful female vocals, such a sleazy groove, the vocals are pure heaven and raunchy as fuck.

17) Lucio Battisti ‘Amarsi Un Po’ [LATE PM]
So I was late getting to this, but the first time I heard it was at The Garden festival in Croatia played by the wonderful, sadly departed Seba many moons ago. It was then edited by my good friend from Chester, UK, Ole Smokey. It always contours up a tranquil time and place and the perfect track to round the day off...

18) Jill Scott ’Slowly Surely’ [SLEEPING]
Soulful soothing vibes from Jill Scott, huge fan of her early works and this is certainly a track that winds down the day and takes me to a calm place...

19) Thompson Twins ‘Hold Me Know [Extended Version]’ [SLEEPING]
There is something about the melancholic feel of this track that soothes the soul, to be fair it could be played any time of day and night as it has a unique energy/ Always puts a smile on my face when I hear it.

20) Phil Stroud ‘Flow’ [SLEEPING]
The last track of this selection and what a track its is, 15 min journey of subtle percussion, harmonies and choralesque vocals. Taken from the self titled album, Phil Stroud, this Perth based musician really knows his stuff… The album is insane… Put this in your ears and drift away to a far off place.]]>

Time: 136 Minutes

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Phat Phil Cooper to the Dusk Dubs family.

Maintaining a career for over 25 years is no mean feat in any profession and, when it comes to the world of music it’s even more of an achievement. For Phil, it was the only option; as if his life was predetermined by some universal design.

A music collector from day one, the world of DJing was a natural progression for Phil giving him the perfect platform to share his love of music. Rising up during the super-club era, he was a mainstay at Cream in Liverpool and Amnesia in Ibiza, where he would weave a menagerie of genres into his sets, which often went from the early evenings long into the late afternoons the next day. The depth of knowledge acquired through his voracious appetite for digging providing the foundation for a DJ career that saw him booked to play all over the globe, clocking up a mind-boggling checklist of cities and clubs in the process. Of course, this also means that, over the course of 25+ years behind the decks, he has acquired an unrivalled understanding of his music loving audience. From soundtracking a blissful sunset on a beach or in a lounge bar with general eclectic vibes including Soul, Jazz, World music, Hip Hop, Disco, Punk and Funk and general Balearic oddities, to deeper House and Techno infused sets during the twilight hours at club and warehouse parties.Phil is an authority on DJing.

"This selection has been structured to represent a full day from waking to the end of the night and how the tempos and mood might change… These are all tracks that I love." [[ Phil ]]

**Tracklisting **

1) Miguel Atwood-Ferguson ‘Mezame’ [WAKING]
Serene and full of wonderful strings, for me its very much a piece of music that signifies the start of another positive day. Little or no percussion throughout and full of space to allow the strings to breath, this really is a magnificent outing from LA based multi-instrumentalist, session musician, arranger, producer, DJ and all round top music man, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and the perfect start to this session of music.

2) Leo Lowman ‘Morning Song’ [WAKING]
Notching the tempo up ever so slightly and retaining the very organic feel is this cut from Leo Lowman, taken from the re-issue album LIQUID DIAMONDS on Dutch label, Music From Memory this really is a beautiful.
"I look out on the ocean, as far as I can see, then you are here with me”

3) 4Hero ‘Morning Child’ [WAKING]
So uplifting, like a hit of strong black coffee, this really is a track for sunny mornings, opening the curtains and looking out over the clear blue waters of the Adriatic. Positivity level 10 all round on this.

4) Bill Withers ‘Lovely Day’ [WAKING]
This track will always put a HUGE smile on my face and really sets me up for a day of sunshine even if its a horrible winters morning. This track paints a joyous picture every time I hear it...

5) The Smiths ‘This Charming Man [New York Vocal Mix]’ [AM]
Stepping up the tempo as the day picks up speed and putting a spring in my step, this Francois K mix of The Smiths, rejected by Morrisey as he hated the idea of it being played in a New York Disco is simply brilliant… I was a huge fan of The Smiths and inevitably stumbled into House music via them and a trip to the now defunct Manchester club, The Hacienda in ’88 or ‘89… I always thought this was a fun and humorous track, not drab and grey as many would believe.

6) The The ‘Giant’ [AM]
I remember hearing The The for the first time, they blew my head off, I was living a very monochrome life in drab, dreary North Wales, well that’s how it appeared as an angst ridden teen who just wanted to escape and find multicoloured under lit dance floors al al New York circa late 70’s early 80’s. Its odd as now I long for my return trips the the green, green grass of home. Anyway The The where super edgy, almost angry in delivery but conjured up and 1000 and 1 images of alternative living. I just love how this track warps into something much more than I could have ever expected… The percussion section is outrageous. “How can anyone know me, when I don’t even now myself” this is EXACTLY how I felt back then!!!

7) Terry Callier ‘What Color Is Love’ [LUNCH]
Dropping things back down to what I consider the most beautiful track ever written! The lead track from the album of the same name, this first came on my radar when Terry played in Telfords Warehouse in Chester back in the late 90s. I was in attendance and it was a spiritual moment.

8) John Martyn ‘Solid Air’ [LUNCH]
I was late to the John Martin party, a good friend of mine commented ‘if you like Terry Callier, you will love John’ he was right, both master singer songwriters, their voice and guitar is all they really needed.

9) Miriam Makeba ‘I’mm You’mm We’mm’ [EARLY PM]
From the opening harp sounds to her impeccable vocal this is timeless music. African songstress commands full attention when she powerfully overlays the rhythmic percussion with her vocal.

10) Fela Kuti 'Gbagada Gbagada Gbogodo Gbogodo’ [EARLY PM]
Infectious percussion and rhythmic grooves from Fela. This signifies the build up to sunset, a joyous celebration of the day before the sunsets and nightfalls.

11) The Alps ‘Le Voyage’ [EVENING / SUNSET]
Psych melodic vibes that build and build into the most wonderful crescendo of electric guitar heaven before fading back down to the wonderful atmospheric into vibes… Always best enjoyed as the sun sinks on another day.

12) The Cure ‘Trust’ [EVENING / SUNSET]
Its all about those opening piano chords, then the strings come in (wow), this track when played has moved men and women to tears, it is beautiful… The intro alone is wonderful but then Robert Smith brings in his vocal… SO POWERFUL!

13) Delia Gonzalez - Gavin Russom ‘Relevee [Carl Craig Remix] [EVENING / SUNSET]
Music is about journeys and this piece is certainly about that. 11 minutes of organic synthetic musical mayhem under control by Detroit Techno master, Carl Craig. This is an after dark track, its setting the scene for the rest of the night, the energy and sounds swirling around my head...

14) Gloria Ann Taylor ‘Love Is A Hurtin’ Thing’ [LATE PM]
Soul with so much passion and dare I say, pain. Pure heartfelt, emotive singing and driven by the electric guitar, percussion and strings, raw & unadulterated music. Sounds like she sung this with every ounce of her being...

15) Ragz Nordset ‘You Started It All - Ron Basejam rework’ [LATE PM]
Shameless self promotion! A track I released on my NuNorthern soul label, remixed by old school mate Jim Baron AKA Ron Basejam of Norwegian singer / songwriter Ragz Nordset. This is the epitome of my label sound. Such a haunting vocal and clever use of layers and layers of sounds, instruments and clever use of space make this sound so bloody good.

16) Minnie Riperton ‘Inside My Love’ [LATE PM]
Again more powerful female vocals, such a sleazy groove, the vocals are pure heaven and raunchy as fuck.

17) Lucio Battisti ‘Amarsi Un Po’ [LATE PM]
So I was late getting to this, but the first time I heard it was at The Garden festival in Croatia played by the wonderful, sadly departed Seba many moons ago. It was then edited by my good friend from Chester, UK, Ole Smokey. It always contours up a tranquil time and place and the perfect track to round the day off...

18) Jill Scott ’Slowly Surely’ [SLEEPING]
Soulful soothing vibes from Jill Scott, huge fan of her early works and this is certainly a track that winds down the day and takes me to a calm place...

19) Thompson Twins ‘Hold Me Know [Extended Version]’ [SLEEPING]
There is something about the melancholic feel of this track that soothes the soul, to be fair it could be played any time of day and night as it has a unique energy/ Always puts a smile on my face when I hear it.

20) Phil Stroud ‘Flow’ [SLEEPING]

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite J-Walk to the Dusk Dubs family…

J-Walk is Manchester-based DJ and producer, Martin Fisher aka Martin Brew. Ex-boss at the renowned Fat City Records, Martin has crafted a special style of widescreen downbeat funk for a couple of decades. Coming to the public's attention via a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it 45 release called ‘Soul Vibration’ back in 2000, the tune soundtracked one of the hottest Manchester summers in years, with every label on earth trying to sign the damn thing. Eventually settling with London’s EastWest Records, J-Walk went on to release the cinematic and critically acclaimed ‘A Night On The Rocks’ album in 2002, before touring Europe and remixing artists including Nitin Sawhney, Bebel Gilberto, Baaba Maal and Manuel Göttsching. Martin also DJ'd around the world, holding residencies in Manchester, Moscow, Oslo, and London, and DJing alongside legends such as Studio 54’s Kenny Carpenter, Masters At Work’s Kenny Dope, A Certain Ratio, Breakestra, and many more....

J-Walk then moved to London’s hip Wondefulsound label, releasing Off-Beat in '14 and Limelight Lights in '17, with both albums capturing that sun-drenched imaginative fusion of rich melodies, analogue instruments and cosmic motifs which will resonate with every possible reference in your musical library.

J-Walk returned this summer with a new LP Mediterranean Winds. (BUY HERE)
https://wonderfulsound.bandcamp.com/album/mediterranean-winds
“A deep set of Vangelis-inspired sounds plunging the listener into waters deep whilst leaving crumpled anoraks behind, before forging the sound into the soulful vibrations of the J-Walk world we love”.

“Firstly, thanks for inviting me to contribute a mixtape. Having to capture a lifetime of influences in a mix is not only exciting, but also difficult….it’s impossible to represent every genre and group in such a relatively short format! This mix captures many of the tracks, artists, genres and moods that have influenced me over the past 30 years, and i still never get tired of listening to any of them.” [[ J-Walk ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) M+M - Xoa Oho
I’ve been in love with this B-side gem since 1984, when I bought the 12” in my early teens after hearing it played by either John Peel or Kid Jensen. It’s essentially by Martha and the Muffins, and the A-side, Black Stations, White Stations is also still a great tune to this day and I often still play the instrumental out.

2) Marine Girls - Lazy Ways
Another track from my early teens which I first heard on Cherry Red Records’s seminal Pillows & Prayers compilation. The group featured a very young Tracey Thorn, and their Lazy Ways LP also featured Ben Watt. For my 13-year old brain, this was what I thought would be the sound of hazy summers for the rest of time. It still is to me.

3) Pale Saints - Kinky Love
Flash-forward a few years and I find myself working at Music & Video Exchange in Notting Hill circa early 1990s. Each day, the staff took it in turns to play a tape, and someone had put this on their own mixtape, and it just blew me away; it seemed to capture that Summer of Love vibe. Luckily, working in a second-hand record shop, I didn’t have to wait too long before a copy was sold to us over the counter so I snapped it up straight away and haven’t stopped playing it ever since. It still sounds wonderful.

4) China Crisis - Red Sails
I bought their debut LP, from which this track is taken, when released in ’82 and yet again, it’s another record that’s impossible to estimate how many times I've played it. A beautiful timeless masterpiece. People still come up and ask what this tune is when I play it out, and a lot of younger kids ask too, which is great.

5) Critical Rhythm - It Could Not Happen
Another favourite from the early 90s era, and on one of the best record labels ever….Nu Groove. At that time, almost everything on the label was a sure-shot buy-on-sight release; the quality was so high. This track was a departure from the classic NY house sound, but to this day remains a favourite that I still play out.

6) Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - What I Am
1998 and pre-Madchester….and this is what me and my mates fell in love with….completely different from anything else at the time but very reminiscent of a hippy west-coast vibe that was supposed to have died out in the 60s. The wah-wah guitar solo is sublime. This is the bootleg mix, with ‘that’ beat over the top of the original track, turning it into an indie-disco shuffler. Apparently, it’s from this release that the beat was sampled for Primal Scream’s Loaded….I’m not sure, because it was also used for Soul II Soul’s Keep On Moving…who knows?

7) The Countach - Aqua Marina
Still in the early-90’s here, and that’s when I became aware of a slower, more funky and blissed out sound coming from Italy. This track still cuts it to this day and is a great tribute to the Santana track of the same name, which I also love to play out. I think this version just tips it for me though, having featured on numerous mixes played on Walkmans and minidiscs and smartphones over the last 30 years or so.

8) Jim Morrison & The Doors - Ghost Song
The sound of sunset over Sunset, this track just exudes west-coast sunshine. Taken from the posthumous album of poetry by Jim Morrison on which the Doors provided the music, this takes me back to the late 80s when we fully immersed ourselves into expansive music experiences listening to Hawkwind, Pink Floyd, Gong, etc. You get my drift.

9) Spacemen 3 - Hypnotised
Those early expansive experiments left me with a lifelong love of vibrato and tremolo, and this track, like most of Spacemen 3’s tracks, shimmers along in a dream-like state of lush warmth and reverberation. Still one of my favourite bands ever and hard to believe that this is now 30 years old.

10) Air - Les Professionnels
Representing my love of Gallic pop, Air came along with their crystal-clear take on the cool French sound that started with Serge Gainsbourg in the late 60’s. Effortlessly timeless.

11) Earth Wind & Fire - Drum Song
This found a way into my collection as a late teenager when I was given a box of soul and jazz fusion records from a distant relative, in which there was also Agharta by Miles Davis and Don’t Knock My Love by Wilson Pickett. What a masterpiece this is, with the melodies played on a variety of effected percussion instruments, all held-down by a rock-solid bassline.

12) Keith Hudson - Civilisation (Instrumental)
It’s a funky reggae party! Representing my love of reggae, this comes from the reggae-disco side of the genre and is filled with synths and a ridiculously fat and funky bassline. This one just bubbles along nicely.

13) APB - One Day
Back to the John Peel days with this track, and one of this band’s first four classic singles released on Aberdeen’s Oily records in the early 80s. Very much in that punk-funk disco-not-disco vibe that A Certain Ratio et al made their own. APB were also massive on the NY Danceteria/Mudd Club/Berlin scene with this track. What a dancer.

14) Simple Minds - Theme For Great Cities
The masters of emotional pop, as the synths on this will testify. This Steve Hillage-produced instrumental became massive in alternative discos everywhere during the 80s and 90s….very ahead of it’s time, and adopted by Europeans in great cities everywhere.

15) EMAK - Tanz In Den Himmel
The cold electronic sound of the future, and included here to represent my love of German synth music. The instrumentation and the melodies are the sound of deserted European cities just before dawn…very melancholic and another perfect example of emotional electronic music.

16) OMD - Statues
The British take on the sound of the future, and this one is taken from their second LP, reportedly written following the death of brief label-mate Ian Curtis. Very moody and beautiful, driven by a haunting and hypnotising drum machine click running through the track.

17) Kool & The Gang - Summer Madness

Everything on this track is so warm and lush…..the vibrato electric piano, the deep gravel-like bass sound, the jazz guitar and of course, that soaring synth. Impossibly cool and languid, if ever a track sounds like its title then this surely must be it.

18) Maze - Twilight
Very much a continuation of the selection above, this track was always at home in the many music tribes of late 80s/early 90s Manchester…and still is. You could hear this played in house clubs, on the street soul scene and in after-club parties everywhere across the city deep into the night and the next morning. A polyrhythmic electronic sunset masterpiece that will never date.

19) Kleeer - Tonight
This takes me back to my Fat City Records days, and here represents my love of synths and in particular, vocoders. Who just doesn’t love that sexy singing robot sound?! Heavy minimal synth funk of the highest order.

20) Lonnie Liston Smith - Sunset
Was lucky to see Lonnie and his wonderfully vibrating electronic piano sound around 1990 at the NIA Centre in Manchester, and it was difficult to pick a favourite track. However, this deep shimmering beauty from the Cosmic Echoes master himself seems appropriate to close out this mix. Transcendent, warm and lush, this is simply class.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Jon More to the Dusk Dubs family.

Jon More - one half of Coldcut and co-founder of record label Ninja Tune. A veteran of 80s Soul Weekenders and warehouse parties like Flim Flam & The Meltdown - Jon's The Meltdown Party was on then pirate radio station KISS FM After teaming up with Matt Black to form Coldcut for their long-running mix show, Solid Steel. Jon now broadcasts once a month on London's Soho Radio.

Coldcut brought break beats and Acid House to the charts with their own creations with Yazz & Lisa Stansfield whilst remixing Eric B & Rakim into Seven game-changing Minutes of Madness plus giving the Godfather of Soul James Brown some payback. Coldcut's success meant international travel and a chance to plunder all manner of rare records. It was here, with an eye for the obscure and an ear for the left foot selection that Jon honed a collection that stretches from early Musique Concrete, through Punk Rock, African to Zither via Soul, Funk, Reggae, Rap, Salsa, Latin and all points in between.

Whilst the Ninja Tune label played the slow and steady wins the race angle through the last two and a half decades, Coldcut released several albums, Music Software Ninjajamm, countless remixes & their critically acclaimed Journey's By DJ mix.

Still a regular digger both at home and abroad, Jon has a sixth sense for sniffing out vinyl in any given town and has been known to arrive at car boot sales before dawn armed with a torch!

“When Dusk Dubs asked for a mixtape that wasn’t mixed - I did not realise how difficult it would be…. Deleting the template in my mind that’s locked into “Dj mix mode” was an interesting experience… After about 20 playlists & many refinements, mind changes & doubt…… I remembered…. Many Many Moons ago the cassette mixtape ruled, the excitement of finding a tune - dubbing it for your mates… Blasting it out….

Well I hope this one feels that way…. These are all tunes that are a constant in my life - Ones I go to for love, for a re fix, to buck up, to singalong, to jump up, a memory, shed a tear…. There are so many more I could have listed but today it’s this - Tomorrow who knows….. I wanted to put Double D & Steinski Lessons 1 to 3 in here…. These three records shaped Matt & I in more ways than we can say… They are not in the list because if you know you know - so if ya don’t know it - The internet might be your friend.

**Tracklisting**

1) Irma Thomas - Ruler Of My Heart

My all time female Soul voice & tune…. That's it…. Bath in the majesty of this 7”

2) Robert Wyett - Shipbuilding

It’s 1982 the smell of war is in the air…. Strong women set up camp at Greenham Common – a real challenge for the Nuclear Weapons ready to fly……. I went on my first CND march… Thatcher is polishing her swords & planning on sinking ships - This song written by Elvis Costello bottles that visceral feeling + Robert Wyett’s sad yet beautiful performance amplifies it >>>

This protest song everyone should own…

3) Family - My Friend The Sun

Its 1972 - I lived in a small town near Aylesbury - Started going to Friars Music Club - I discovered so many bands here….- 15 years old, I blagged a membership - hitched a lift & caught the band………. The next day I ordered a 7 inch from our local shop…. A Coal Merchants that sold a limited range of vinyl ( yes it was the 70’s)… Still have the record - apologies for the crackle - shows how much i’ve played it over the years….

4) Donovan - The Divine Daze Of Deathless Delight

it’s the 1960’s….. Donavan was a major presence throughout my childhood… From Top Of The Pops in flickering black & white, on a rented telly from Redifusion - through to the blistering acid colour on some mid 70’s Saturday night light entertainment shows…. This is my partners favourite & she reminded me how important Donovan is…..….

5) Genesis - For Absent Friends

Ok you always have to slip in a guilty pleasure…. Genesis with Peter Gabriel were an amazing live act…. Made three crazy prog albums: Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme & Selling England By The Pound…. When Peter Gabriel left, when the pomp excess came on strong, when the 80’s got them - I checked out….

6) David Bowie - Subterraneans

First saw David Bowie in 1972 about three weeks after the release of The Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars album… A friend for life…. This is from Low - My album of choice for a brain disinfectant…..Two dons for the price of one. Could not exclude Brian Eno from this mixtape.

Love Japan Love this… An ambient classic in my book… from a perfect album….

All time fave electro rockabilly tune… Was that a thing? Another heavy influence….

22) Tonto's Expanding Headband - Ferryboat

Time: 103 Minutes
Date: 2019-12-29

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Jon More to the Dusk Dubs family.

Jon More - one half of Coldcut and co-founder of record label Ninja Tune. A veteran of 80s Soul Weekenders and warehouse parties like Flim Flam & The Meltdown - Jon's The Meltdown Party was on then pirate radio station KISS FM After teaming up with Matt Black to form Coldcut for their long-running mix show, Solid Steel. Jon now broadcasts once a month on London's Soho Radio.

Coldcut brought break beats and Acid House to the charts with their own creations with Yazz & Lisa Stansfield whilst remixing Eric B & Rakim into Seven game-changing Minutes of Madness plus giving the Godfather of Soul James Brown some payback. Coldcut's success meant international travel and a chance to plunder all manner of rare records. It was here, with an eye for the obscure and an ear for the left foot selection that Jon honed a collection that stretches from early Musique Concrete, through Punk Rock, African to Zither via Soul, Funk, Reggae, Rap, Salsa, Latin and all points in between.

Whilst the Ninja Tune label played the slow and steady wins the race angle through the last two and a half decades, Coldcut released several albums, Music Software Ninjajamm, countless remixes & their critically acclaimed Journey's By DJ mix.

Still a regular digger both at home and abroad, Jon has a sixth sense for sniffing out vinyl in any given town and has been known to arrive at car boot sales before dawn armed with a torch!

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Neil Bopperson to the Dusk Dubs family.

DJ, broadcaster, radio plugger, playlist designer, remixer and music producer, Neil Bopperson has a varied skill set. A sharer and carer of music in every aspect, Neil has, and continues to explore the world searching for old and new musical gems.

A resident radio host on Le Mellotron in Paris, he can often be heard carving out a conversation with other musical artists as they pass though the city.

His DJ sets are sewn from a soulful and organic thread, avoiding sticking to just one genre. Variety is an essential part of his musical DNA, choosing not to follow trends and knowing what's needed to keep the party popping.

DJing has seen him share stages with artists as varied as: Theo Parrish, Bad Bad Not Good and Mr. Scruff, plus also playing bespoke events with The Mighty Boosh and the Blues Brother himself, Mr. Dan Akroyd.

Supporting independent music and artists on both sides of the channel, he runs his own radio plugging agency based between Paris and London.

“It’s a lucky blessing to put a more retrospective hat on when making a mix, especially one that is free and track focused like Dusk Dubs. So with that I mind I chose straight from the heart. Music that’s made me over the years and records that I’ve always reached for and will continue to for years to come.” [[ Neil ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) The Greg Foat Group - For A Breath I Tarry

I remember hearing this track years ago and thinking it would makes a great intro to a mix. Matthew Halsall’s trumpet almost sounds like a call to come listen. Greg Foat has a pretty extensive catalogue to explore if you’re not familiar with him.

2) Andrew Bird - MasterFade

His lyrics, his sense of melody and his un paralleled ability to whistle means he must be included. Andrew Bird has maybe stirred slightly more into slightly more pop areas of late, but his early work will always hold a place in my heart.

His long time collaborator and drummer, Dosh, is well worth looking into on the more experimental side of folk music too.

3) Francesco Cigana Trio - Turya and Ramakrishna

I wanted to include the original Alice Coltrane recording of this but couldn’t find my record at my storage spot. So in turn, it made me discover this really well recorded, great version out of Italy.

4) Fink - Sort Of Revolution

I’ll often reach for this album on a Sunday. Such great recordings and the drumming on this has echoes of Stuart Copeland, which can never be a bad thing.

5) Eddie Kendricks - My People Hold On

I have my amazing girlfriend to thank for this one. On a summer road trip around Cornwall she put this on at some point. As we winded down the single track roads it was my first time hearing it we stopped the car to take it all in.

6) Darkhouse Family - All The Way (Flutestrumental)

As this has echoes of those early Bristol Tricky or Massive Attack productions, I had to include it.

Check the vocal version too as Tyler Daley from Children Of Zeus adds another legendary vocal performance to his many others. I chose the instrumental though as we’ll hear from Tyler later on in the mix.

7) Saul Williams - Twice The First Time

Such a poignant voice, this man has been speaking truths since day dot. Never has a Black American’s voice been so poignant than right now.

I’ll always remember hammering this album at college.

8) Frank Walton - Safari

A relatively recent discovery for me, courtesy of Kev Beadle. A man along with the likes of: Patrick Forge, Mr Scruff and Dom Servini are constant sources of jazz flavoured fusion grooves for me.

9) GODTET - Oubladi (ft. Mariam Sawires)

Taken from an album released this year but one I know I will be reaching for many years to come. An outstanding talent from the very fruitful South East corner of Australia. GODTET is just one star in a very clustered constellation over there.

10) Cesaria Evora - Angola (Pépe Bradock Get Down Dub)

I had to put something to remind me of my years living in Portugal. It was a toss up between a Pedro Abrunhosa track or anything from Cesaria Evora. The Cape Verdean Barefoot Diva came in first place. This Pepe Bradock dub if played it at the right time of the night, it can turn the dance floor into an almost meditative state.

11) Be - When You Left

I tried to licence this track for a compilation called ‘Allo Love’ on Wah Wah 45s many years ago, but as my request was declined I saw it fitting to include here. It’s still a late night record that’s close to my heart from Manchester’s illusive, Garth Be.

12) Dego - My Standards Are (Not) Too High

Recent music from a man who needs little intro. Probably my favourite cut from his recent LP. Great playing, production and over 8 minutes to marvel at the beauty.

13) Hanna - Wayfarring Man

The term ‘future soul classic’ gets thrown around quite a bit, but here it I first heard this in Belgrade in 2017 and it stopped me in my tracks. I thought it was Thundercat but no, a deeper more soulful cut from Hanna, AKA Warren Harris.

14) The Bees - Winter Rose (Nicolas Jaar Remix)

A massively overlooked UK band who are sadly no more, Paul Butler continues to put his magic production touch various projects; Michael Kiwanuka / The Milk and also with Andrew Bird who we heard from earlier.

This Nicolas Jaar remix is gold, an artist that I always get excited for new material from him.

15) Children Of Zeus – Vibrations

Another First Word choice, the first track they wrote for their ‘Travel Light’ LP. This cut a collaboration with London based K15 and will forever give me goosebumps.

16) Maya - Lait Du Coco

On first listen to Vibrations by Children Of Zeus, I thought they’d sampled the keys from the intro to this, they hadn’t, it was of course K15 blessing the Rhodes. Still a perfect for late night on the dancefloor track, I’ll often reach for it when I know the vibe in the room is right.

17) Pan Solo - Jungle Falls

Not a track I can always get away with playing in my sets, but when I do I can always guarantee someone will come and ask me for the ID. Simply put; a wonderfully unique piece of music.

18) Lazslo - Mr Sunshine

Another unique piece that follows on well from ‘Pan Solo’. Also worth checking is the LP ‘Adventures’ by The Lydian Collective. A great live recoding of this track. Lydian Collective are a four piece band fronted by the musical brain of Lazslo, AKA Aaron Wheeler.

19) Da Lata - Asking Eyes

The most uplifting of tracks, ultimate feel good fodder that neeeeeeeds to be pressed onto vinyl.

20) Maribou State – Midas

A lot of Maribou State’s productions have a heavy nod to the past with echoes of the rave era. The chords here I can almost hear blaring from my older brother’s bedroom after he’d come back from a night out raving in the 90s.

21) Milosh - You Fill Me

Perhaps known more for his work as Rhye and guesting on Bonobo’s last LP, but Mike Milosh’s early work is so overlooked. Four albums that resonate with me on a songwriter and also a production level. Production skills right up there with Four Tet yet Millosh seems to get little praise.

This song contains a lyric which is pretty much my life mantra, something any Vipasana meditator can connect with; ‘Be Happy’

22) Andy Compton & Shamrock – Nifanyeje

An example of simplicity been executed so well. By taking the basics and do them right. Drums, bass, keys and voice. I often play another track from this EP, but here I instead choose ‘Nifanyeje’ as I thought it fits nicer with the feel of the Dusk Dubs brief.

23) Brian Eno & John Cale - Spinning Away

I had to close the session with this, quite simply my hand on heart favourite ever song. Choppy drums, a great melody, some dreamy strings and a bass performance to die for. Lower me into the ground with this playing and I’ll rest well.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Neil Bopperson to the Dusk Dubs family.

DJ, broadcaster, radio plugger, playlist designer, remixer and music producer, Neil Bopperson has a varied skill set. A sharer and carer of music in every aspect, Neil has, and continues to explore the world searching for old and new musical gems.

A resident radio host on Le Mellotron in Paris, he can often be heard carving out a conversation with other musical artists as they pass though the city.

His DJ sets are sewn from a soulful and organic thread, avoiding sticking to just one genre. Variety is an essential part of his musical DNA, choosing not to follow trends and knowing what's needed to keep the party popping.

DJing has seen him share stages with artists as varied as: Theo Parrish, Bad Bad Not Good and Mr. Scruff, plus also playing bespoke events with The Mighty Boosh and the Blues Brother himself, Mr. Dan Akroyd.

Supporting independent music and artists on both sides of the channel, he runs his own radio plugging agency based between Paris and London.

“It’s a lucky blessing to put a more retrospective hat on when making a mix, especially one that is free and track focused like Dusk Dubs. So with that I mind I chose straight from the heart. Music that’s made me over the years and records that I’ve always reached for and will continue to for years to come.” [[ Neil ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) The Greg Foat Group - For A Breath I Tarry

I remember hearing this track years ago and thinking it would makes a great intro to a mix. Matthew Halsall’s trumpet almost sounds like a call to come listen. Greg Foat has a pretty extensive catalogue to explore if you’re not familiar with him.

2) Andrew Bird - MasterFade

His lyrics, his sense of melody and his un paralleled ability to whistle means he must be included. Andrew Bird has maybe stirred slightly more into slightly more pop areas of late, but his early work will always hold a place in my heart.

His long time collaborator and drummer, Dosh, is well worth looking into on the more experimental side of folk music too.

3) Francesco Cigana Trio - Turya and Ramakrishna

I wanted to include the original Alice Coltrane recording of this but couldn’t find my record at my storage spot. So in turn, it made me discover this really well recorded, great version out of Italy.

4) Fink - Sort Of Revolution

I’ll often reach for this album on a Sunday. Such great recordings and the drumming on this has echoes of Stuart Copeland, which can never be a bad thing.

5) Eddie Kendricks - My People Hold On

I have my amazing girlfriend to thank for this one. On a summer road trip around Cornwall she put this on at some point. As we winded down the single track roads it was my first time hearing it we stopped the car to take it all in.

6) Darkhouse Family - All The Way (Flutestrumental)

As this has echoes of those early Bristol Tricky or Massive Attack productions, I had to include it.

Check the vocal version too as Tyler Daley from Children Of Zeus adds another legendary vocal performance to his many others. I chose the instrumental though as we’ll hear from Tyler later on in the mix.

7) Saul Williams - Twice The First Time

Such a poignant voice, this man has been speaking truths since day dot. Never has a Black American’s voice been so poignant than right now.

I’ll always remember hammering this album at college.

8) Frank Walton - Safari

A relatively recent discovery for me, courtesy of Kev Beadle. A man along with the likes of: Patrick Forge, Mr Scruff and Dom Servini are constant sources of jazz flavoured fusion grooves for me.

9) GODTET - Oubladi (ft. Mariam Sawires)

Taken from an album released this year but one I know I will be reaching for many years to come. An outstanding talent from the very fruitful South East corner of Australia. GODTET is just one star in a very clustered constellation over there.

10) Cesaria Evora - Angola (Pépe Bradock Get Down Dub)

I had to put something to remind me of my years living in Portugal. It was a toss up between a Pedro Abrunhosa track or anything from Cesaria Evora. The Cape Verdean Barefoot Diva came in first place. This Pepe Bradock dub if played it at the right time of the night, it can turn the dance floor into an almost meditative state.

11) Be - When You Left

I tried to licence this track for a compilation called ‘Allo Love’ on Wah Wah 45s many years ago, but as my request was declined I saw it fitting to include here. It’s still a late night record that’s close to my heart from Manchester’s illusive, Garth Be.

12) Dego - My Standards Are (Not) Too High

Recent music from a man who needs little intro. Probably my favourite cut from his recent LP. Great playing, production and over 8 minutes to marvel at the beauty.

13) Hanna - Wayfarring Man

The term ‘future soul classic’ gets thrown around quite a bit, but here it I first heard this in Belgrade in 2017 and it stopped me in my tracks. I thought it was Thundercat but no, a deeper more soulful cut from Hanna, AKA Warren Harris.

14) The Bees - Winter Rose (Nicolas Jaar Remix)

A massively overlooked UK band who are sadly no more, Paul Butler continues to put his magic production touch various projects; Michael Kiwanuka / The Milk and also with Andrew Bird who we heard from earlier.

This Nicolas Jaar remix is gold, an artist that I always get excited for new material from him.

15) Children Of Zeus – Vibrations

Another First Word choice, the first track they wrote for their ‘Travel Light’ LP. This cut a collaboration with London based K15 and will forever give me goosebumps.

16) Maya - Lait Du Coco

On first listen to Vibrations by Children Of Zeus, I thought they’d sampled the keys from the intro to this, they hadn’t, it was of course K15 blessing the Rhodes. Still a perfect for late night on the dancefloor track, I’ll often reach for it when I know the vibe in the room is right.

17) Pan Solo - Jungle Falls

Not a track I can always get away with playing in my sets, but when I do I can always guarantee someone will come and ask me for the ID. Simply put; a wonderfully unique piece of music.

18) Lazslo - Mr Sunshine

Another unique piece that follows on well from ‘Pan Solo’. Also worth checking is the LP ‘Adventures’ by The Lydian Collective. A great live recoding of this track. Lydian Collective are a four piece band fronted by the musical brain of Lazslo, AKA Aaron Wheeler.

19) Da Lata - Asking Eyes

The most uplifting of tracks, ultimate feel good fodder that neeeeeeeds to be pressed onto vinyl.

20) Maribou State – Midas

A lot of Maribou State’s productions have a heavy nod to the past with echoes of the rave era. The chords here I can almost hear blaring from my older brother’s bedroom after he’d come back from a night out raving in the 90s.

21) Milosh - You Fill Me

Perhaps known more for his work as Rhye and guesting on Bonobo’s last LP, but Mike Milosh’s early work is so overlooked. Four albums that resonate with me on a songwriter and also a production level. Production skills right up there with Four Tet yet Millosh seems to get little praise.

This song contains a lyric which is pretty much my life mantra, something any Vipasana meditator can connect with; ‘Be Happy’

22) Andy Compton & Shamrock – Nifanyeje

An example of simplicity been executed so well. By taking the basics and do them right. Drums, bass, keys and voice. I often play another track from this EP, but here I instead choose ‘Nifanyeje’ as I thought it fits nicer with the feel of the Dusk Dubs brief.

23) Brian Eno & John Cale - Spinning Away

I had to close the session with this, quite simply my hand on heart favourite ever song. Choppy drums, a great melody, some dreamy strings and a bass performance to die for. Lower me into the ground with this playing and I’ll rest well.]]> 4144609 no no Sun, 15 Dec 2019 10:07:54 +0100 2019-12-15T10:07:54+01:00 1:58:48 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/nine-zero-nine-005/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome The Motion Orchestra to the Dusk Dubs family.

The Motion Orchestra is a new project sublimely-nuanced downtempo sonics, influenced heavily by Neo-Classical and Jazz sensibilities. Exploring themes as time and space, transience, life and death – The Motion Orchestra music is delightfully relevant, timeless and contemplative in comparison to much of today's disposable music culture. “It begins where it ends. Turning these subjects into sounds, creating an emotional sound journey with a deeper note is the idea.” says David Hanke, the mind behind the project.

Formed in 2017, this studio project consists of Alexander Bednasch on Double-Bass, Mark Matthes on Violins, Andy Sells on Drums and David Hanke on electronics and production. They released two singles 'All One ' and 'Sonorous' on Bathurst in 2018 and 2019 and 2020 sees the release of their first full length album 'All One'. The Motion Orchestra is currently in the process of producing their live show for performances of the debut album.

“The tracks I've picked showcase influences and likes, old and new on the way of this project.” [[David ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Arp - Il Sogno Di Monica

My absolute favourite track from Arp as it has the same main theme like Flite from the Cinematic Orchestra, just with a more Jazz vibe and more relaxed.

2) Coldcut – Sound Mirros

Album closing track and title track of the 2006 released Coldcut album. Slow and catchy sample at the beginning, great Double Bass pattern and lots of strings, always loved this one, even because it reminds me on DJ Food's “The Crow” with that bassline.

3) Kutiman – Line 2

When Kutiman released his first album back in the day on MPM Music he already has shown his great skills as musician and also as producer. This song is from his latest release and shows in a great way how he does great music.

4) The Cinematic Orchestra – Evolution feat. Fontella Bass

Every Day was always my favorite album by TCO and that Evolution song is so powerful due the lyrics and voice of Fontella Bass, absolute amazing song, this one will stuck in my head forever.

5) Girls In Aiports – Kaikoura

A friend of mine showed me this Band a few years ago and I was instantly in love with them, and especially with the title track of their Kaikoura album. Turned out they played a couple of times in the venue in hometown where I used to had my monthly club night, but that was years before.

06 Reeder – Farewell

Piano player Reeder came also on my radar a few years ago. In the flood of all those generic sounding Piano artists nowadays he makes an exception with his style. He also writes film music and releases most of his albums for free on Bandcamp.

7) Noel Brass Jr. - Botanical Windfall

Noel became a friend of me after I have sampled a song from his band Afrocop. Our drummer Andy Sells is also part of that band, it's how we met when I sampled them for my Dem Juju Poets album “Liberated Thoughts”. Noel is a great Keyplayer, he is always exploring Ambient soundscapes with Rhodes and Synths.

8) Vanishing Twin – KRK (At Home In Strange Places)

Don't know much about them, but after I bought me some singles from them they released an awesome album this year and went on top of my favourite artists list. Their style is kind of psychedelic Jazz, with a very raw sound and lots of other influences, absolute love them.

9) Amon Tobin – Vipers Follow You

Well what to say about someone like Amon Tobin? Loving his music for nearly 20 years now and it's wonderful to see he is still exploring new depths. The new album he released this year is already one of my favourites of him.

10) Arrangement – Coconut Mango

Great production on this, as far as I know they only haver eleased two singles and this is one of them. Loving the overall sound and mood. I hope they will release more in the future.

11) Mike Westbrook Orchestra – Metropolis IX

First discovered on Mr. Scruff's Big Chill Classic. Flawless beautiful piece of music. Simple and beautiful, calm and emotive.

12) Stringtronics – Tropicola

Fuzzy percussive Tropical Island Jazz goodness.

13) Labelle – Playing At The End Of The Universe (Orchestre Univers Version)

Bells and drums and flutes and strings.

14) Hampshire & Foat – Galaxies Like Grains Of Sand

Following Greg Foats work since his 'Dark Is The Sun' album and since then every album was a no-brainer to buy. This song especially is an epic theme for something we can't understand, perfect in many ways.

15) Hiroshi Yoshimura – Dance PM

Hypnotic melody with crackles.

16) Neotropic – Your War

Knowing her from the Ntone (Ninja Tune) era. Her new album from 2018 is an absolute wonderful masterpiece of minimalism and vast sound collages.

17) Solar Apple Quarktette – Do You Love Me Too? (Unforscene Mix)

This Unforscene remix is a beautiful laid back melody feast. Already has some years on it's back already, but didn't lose any of it's freshness, absolute gorgeous music.

18) Pepe Deluxé – In The Cave

This song was part of their last album 'Queen Of The Wave' and was recorded on the big Stalagpipe organ in a Cave. It has an absolute wonderful mood and melody, very simple and minimal, sounds like it has been recorded in the 19th century.

19) Jazztronik – Muddy Muddy

Also an older track, but even this one sounds absolute fresh to me. Spiritual Jazz from Japan with the beautiful voice of Yurai.

20) Drummotive – '77 Astro Black

Released on the Next Phase Drum & Bass label from Netherlands, this one is a fine piece of Rhodes, Flutes & Drums Jazz in a relaxed way.

21) Hania Rani – Esja

Hania Rani is a polish Piano Player and singed her first album Esja to Gondwana Records. Another positive stand out example in the flood of generic sounding neo-classical piano artists nowadays.

22 Thunderball - Last Flight

Steve Raskin and Sid Barcelona were the founding members of Thunderball, also part of Fort Know Five and joined by Rob Myers from the third album on. Last Flight is one of their rare unfunky tunes with a slight Orchestra feel.

23) Bonobo – Second Sun

Second Sun was released on the Migration album and is one wonderful beatless piece of music he did.

24) Condor Gruppe – Void

Psyched buzzing guitar music, with a vast feeling, love it.

25) Ishmael Ensemble – First Light

Ishmael Ensemble is a rising star in the electronic music scene, bridging perfectly the gap between electronic Club music and Live Jazz.

26) Still Moving - Sharp Arts

Recently discovered new trio from England with a beautiful combination of Jazz, Folk and club Electronics.

27) Leifur James – Suns Of Gold

Beautiful debut album released on Late Night Tales Recordings. Many different styles on the album, but all worked out with a lot of love for details.

28) Dolphin Midwives - Satya Yuga

First heard in Bonobo's Outlier Playlist or radio show, wonderful string laden song.

29) Hidden Orchestra – Footsteps

First single from their first album and still my favourite of them. Many moons have passed since then, they released a lot of new albums, but Footsteps is still a stand out song for me.

30) Leon Vynehall – Envelopes (Chapter VI)

Last but not least, Leon Vynehall who's 2018 on Ninja Tune released album was my favourite album of that year. Also seen him live, absolute great to see and hear this kind of music live.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome the Sheffield duo Animat, aka Mark Daly and Michael Harding to the Dusk Dubs family.

"We complied this list separately so didn’t really know which tunes the other was going to choose. Unsurprisingly, as we have been working together for nearly 20 years, we found that some of our choices matched – maybe not the exact tunes but certainly the artists.

We tried to choose music and artists that made an impact on us, mostly from our formative years but including some newer stuff. If we were to do another list next week we agreed it would probably be completely different depending on our mood, what we have been working on/listening to, our surroundings and our memory triggers!

Some of the tunes hold special memories for us, and we hope that you enjoy our slightly self-indulgent journey." [[ Mark and Michael ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Art of Noise - Robinson Crusoe. Chosen by Mark:

“One of my earliest memories was watching the black and white German TV version of this classic tale of the castaway. Art of Noise remixed the original haunting and beautiful theme.

2) Ryuichi Sakamoto - World Citizen (Taylor Deupree remix). Chosen by Michael:

“Could have chosen any of the mixes of this superb collaboration between Ryuchi Sakamoto and David Sylvian: this version lets the song breathe while glitching up the tension and 16 years on it seems more painfully relevant than ever.”

3) Digitonal - 93 Years on. Chosen by Mark:

“Michael and I used to do a regular chilled music radio show in the early 2000s in Sheffield and discovered Digitonal when the man behind it, Andrew Dobson, was living in the city. This is one of our absolute favourites, and if you like beautiful electronica tinged with a hint of classical we urge to check their back catalogue.”

4) John Martyn - Small Hours – Chosen by Mark:

“I only became aware of John Martyn in the last decade. Amazingly this super downtempo song appeared in the middle of the punk explosion in 1977. Despite being over 40 years old, it sounds incredibly modern and ahead of its time. It was recorded outdoors, listen out for the sound of passing geese, making it a truly ambient piece.”

5) Spearhead - Hole in the Bucket. Chosen by Mark:

“I love the deep tones of Michael Franti’s voice and the conscious rap lyrics that he delivers. His mix of politics and damn good hip hop is always spot on.”

6) Pitch Black - Empty Spaces Missing Units. Chosen by Mark:

“Pioneers of the New Zealand digital dub scene, Pitch Black are here in a less frenetic mood. We were given the opportunity to remix this tune over a decade ago and have both been firm PB fans ever since. We are happy to say that we know Mike from the band and, of course he ( and is family) are Choice! Kia Ora.

7) Boards of Canada – ROYGBIV. Chose by Michael:

“That rare beast, an ambient electronic epic that clocks in at under 3 minutes - what were they thinking? Makt said : “I still love every track on the BoC debut album MHTRTC and this track is probably the best known from it”

8) Blondie - Fade Away And Radiate. Chosen by Mark:

“I vividly remember buying the Parallel Lines album from Bradley’s Records in Sheffield, and saving up to buy all of Blondie’s back catalogue. This track from it was always my favourite, standing out as being less poppy than the rest. I love the way Robert Fripp’s soaring guitar twists and turns the song, and the ending being a surprising reggae refrain”

9) Talking Heads - Memories Can't Wait. Chosen by Michael:

“David Byrne is a genius. No arguments. 'Fear of Music' is the best Talking Heads album. Discuss (calmly).Mark: “We both chose a Talking Heads track, Michael beat me to it. My choice would have been ‘Drugs’ from Fear of Music, but anything by them is great by me.”

10) Dead Can Dance - Anywhere Out Of The World. Chosen by Michael

“A band that I once supported in the dim and distant indie-alternative past, and although I remember nothing about the gig it must have left me with a feeling of wanting to explore their albums. And, when I did I found this piece of gothic melodrama that sounds like a futuristic template for Efterklang or Bohren & Der Club of Gore with the love child of Greg Lake and Scott Walker on vocals.

11) Marvin Gaye - Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology). Chosen by Michael:

“In the ongoing top of the table battle for best ever pop/rock album, the iconic 'What's Going On' constantly swops places with the Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds', but this, the title track and the closing 'Inner City Blues' currently give Marvin the edge on 'best single track difference'. Animat fell further in love with this tune when we selected it to back the great 'Alvins' visit to the doctor' scene in our re-soundtracking of 'The Straight Story'.

12) Charles Webster - Ready (Herbert's Steady Dub). Chosen by Mark:

"This is one of the many tunes in my collection and consciousness that came out of the taste changing experience that was the Big Chill festival. We released our debut album on the festival’s own label. I speak for both of us, and many others, when I say that the festival and its forum sparked so many brilliant friendships and creative collaborations - not least our own, that are still going today. This version of Charles Webster’s tune is remixed by another Big Chill favourite Matthew Herbert.”

13) Neneh Cherry - Fallen Leaves Chosen by Michael:

“Just to show I didn't stop buying records in the late 1990s... I first saw and heard Neneh Cherry in the early 80s when she was singing with Rip, Rig & Panic and have kept a keen ear on her all-to-rare but always special recorded output ever since. The opening track of this year's 'Broken Politics' album is an object lesson in wringing the maximum emotion out of the simplest and most minimal elements you could wish for.”

14) Joni Mitchell - A strange boy Chosen by Michael:

“Another tough call; picking just one track to illustrate the brilliance of the sequence of albums that Joni Mitchell released between 1971's 'Blue' and an unspecified/arguable point in the mid-80s (I go as far as 'Dog Eat Dog' but know that's a controversial position..) This understated killer from 'Hejira' will just have to do.”

15) Jeff Beck - Cause We've Ended As Lovers Chosen by Michael:

“Guitar hero-rock god tackles soul superstar's song and comes out on top: the Stevei Wonder-ful original featuring Syreeta is well worth a listen too.”

16) Cocteau Twins - Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops Chosen by Michael but fully endorsed by Mark:

“It was this or 'Heaven or Las Vegas' to represent the essential Cocteaus, but the magical guitar rise at 2'25" is the last ball runout that clinches the super over for 'Pearly Dewdrops'.”

17) Alucidnation - Honey Czars (lucid remix) Chosen by Michael but again endorsed by Mark:

“Alucidnation aka Bruce Bickerton at the absolute peak of his remix skills with emotive piano and synth textures and bass so warm you could toast your autumn crumpets on it, the addition of some heartstretching spoken word samples and the inspired ticking-clock snare.”

18) Rhythm & Sound w/ Cornel Campbell - King In My Empire Chosen by Mark:

“A beautiful, deep dub techno tune from the German masters, originally out in 2001, I’ve played this out many times to get feet tapping and heads nodding at the start of the night”

19) The Who - I Can See For Miles Chosen by Michael:

“Now there's a surprise: I first came across this on a joint The Who & Jimi Hendrix bargain compilation (Backtrack 4) in the early seventies - it blew me away then and it still does. Everything that defines classic Who but with a richness and sonic imagination that Brian Wilson might have been proud of.”

20) Ulrich Schnauss - Here Today Gone Tomorrow Chosen by Michael:

“The epic sound of the mighty Herr Schnauss, who I once met briefly at a Helios gig in Manchester and was getting on very well until the unnecessary extra beer prompted a reference to the U2-influenced basslines on the 'Far Away Trains Passing By' album. Whoops...'Here Today Gone Tomorrow' is a massive slice of musical life, deceptively muscular while touching on disorientatingly insane.”

21. Omni Trio - Higher Ground Chosen by Mark:

“Heartbreakingly beautiful drum n bass? Yes indeed. One that was always in the box for our Sundaze DJ collective chilled sets. Joyous and melancholic in equal measure..]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Eschaton to the Dusk Dubs family.

Hailing from the Midlands, UK, Eschaton spent his formative years listening and collecting electronic music. After hearing the early Acid House sounds crackling over pirate radio stations, he was hooked, and he followed the music as it grew and evolved into Atmospheric Drum and Bass. He used to DJ at low key events throughout Nottingham and Derby in the late 90’s, but never made a big name for himself; he was happy just to play the music he loved.

He eventually turned his attention to producing, and used his earlier influences to mold his own unique Drum and Bass sounds. In a way, his early productions were maybe too unique, which made it difficult to get signed. Eventually, he decided it was time to set up his own imprint, one that would showcase his own experimental productions, as well as a host of music from other producers he was in touch with from across the globe.

Omni Music was born in 2011, and since then has gone from strength to strength, releasing intelligent music that spans the drum and bass spectrum, as well as deep techno and ambient. With a huge catalogue under its belt, Omni Music has shown no sign of stopping, as Eschaton continues to delve deep into the demos he is sent, to release the very finest compositions he can find. Omni Music has been humbled to feature a multitude of talented artists such as Future Engineers, Voyager, Aural Imbalance, Pariah, Justice, Rob Haigh, Flatliner, Ricky Force, Madcap, DJ Trax, Stunna, Acid lab, Enjoy and hundreds more, giving each of them an outlet to express their sonic visions.

"My tastes in music are beyond eclectic, so I have narrowed down this list to electronic based works from the Acid House scene on wards, that have inspired my own work and what I choose to release on Omni Music. This is by no means a complete list, far from it, just a snapshot of what has created my own musical evolution." [[ Eschaton ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Aphex Twin – On

I have started with a beautiful and experimental piece from the master craftsman Aphex Twin. This reminds me of lazy Sundays after late nights, relaxing at a friend’s house and letting the electronica cleanse your tired body. It still maintains that forward thinking and positive vibe when I listen back to it, and instantly sends me back to those hazy afternoons.

2) Annette – Dream 17

I could have put many earlier Acid House tunes in place of this, but I just remember the first time I heard this on Pirate radio and I was hypnotized by the simple acid line and dreamy vocals. I was hooked on this music then, and this perfectly demonstrates why, simple, yet incredibly effective.

3) Intelligent Communication – Drive

This makes me smile every time I hear it. This is an alias of Future Sound of London, and they took the bleeps and bass sounds from Northern England and wrapped it up with crisp Breakbeats and soulful pads. It was a perfect recipe for me, and hearing this playing over the airways always gave me a sense of wonder, sitting out and watching the summer night sky.

4) Eat Static- Almost Human

I had heard some of the early Eat Static releases in 1991, which followed the rave and Breakbeat sound, so when I picked this 12” up (for a bargain £1) in 1992 I was floored. It was the beginning of that deep trance/techno, and I personally hadn’t heard it quite like this before. Layered synths and a frenetic energy made this head nodding and at the same time thought-provoking music. The trance synth sounds made a big impression on me, and I have never been able to quite shake them off!

5) Pulse – Stay Calm

Okay, a jump forward to 1994 now. This was when the amen break was now the king, and works of art like this were flying out the speakers. Although there were a lot of tracks that followed a similar blueprint to this back then, personally this had the edge, with its discreet pads, uplifting vocal stabs and layers of beats; it always made me jump up and down with delight. It was a glimpse of the future, bridging the dark sounds of 1993 with the more mature sounds that would dominate 1994 onwards.

6) Eze Ozo – How to Stay Alive

Back to 1991 now, possibly my favourite year for electronic music; as a DJ could play all styles in one set. I could have chosen either side of this magnificent record, but today, this one is ahead (it changes daily!). Deep, intelligent and brilliantly produced. If Good Looking Records was around in 1991, then this is the material they would have been releasing. An amazing work of art that I still think stands the test of time.

7) Future Bound – Sorrow

I could have chosen many atmospheric pieces from around this time, but there was always something sublime about this. The Breakbeat led opening made it perfect to mix and it wasn’t until it gets going you realise how incredible Drum and Bass had now become. Layers of epic pads, sprinkled with enchanting melodic stabs; this was music for the mind, body and soul. There aren’t many new atmospheric drum and bass tracks I feel can ever come close to the emotions pouring out of the speakers when this is playing.

8) Mykra – Mushrooms ‘97

Jumping ahead a little, we have this once in a lifetime piece of wonder. I can’t fault anything in this track, the breaks hit hard, the main melody sounds like it is being played by an angel and the soaring pads send goose bumps up and down my body. I really wish I had made this! I don’t need to say any more, I am left almost speechless by this beautifully crafted slice of electronic beauty.

9) System 7 – Habibi

Dropping the tempo completely here is a serene ambient piece from one of my favourite Oldskool trance/techno acts; System 7. This always hit the spot on those chill out days; relaxing moments away from the hectic parties. Although there are so many amazing ambient pieces from this era, this always stood out at the time, probably due to my own personal circumstances. It’s calm, reflective and still epic, with its heartfelt vocals and steady pulsing tribal vibe.

10) Cloud 9 – Mindbomb

1992 was a manic year, with so many classics, but I had to choose a piece that shaped my own sounds; so this was it. In the midlands I heard this played out constantly, tucked away on the B side of a now sough after white label. It was a beautiful change of pace in between the crazy Breakbeat mayhem, relying more on melodies that played with each other and sampling the piano line from Crimewatch (I think? I can’t quite remember). It always stood out to me with its individuality and choosing not to rely so much on Breakbeats.

11) The Invisible Man – Power

To be honest, this was another piece that could have been replaced with many others from Graham. His early work to me is pure genius, a perfect example of creating melodic drum and bass but keeping the dancefloor happy. The track twists and turns through different sections, and it always made my hairs stand up on end when the sweeping strings and the amen crash in, making me just stand there dumbfounded. Homer drool.

12) The Shamen – Possible Worlds (Deep Psi Mix)

Unfortunately, The Shamen are remembered for their daring and (arguably brilliant) achievement of getting to number 1 in the charts shouting ‘E’s are Good’. The brazen fact that they got away with it and no one noticed until it was too late is an epic win for them. But the track wasn’t particularly great, possibly one of their worst, so it’s a shame that’s how a lot of people remember them. Before that (and after), they were responsible for some stunning deep electronic music, from early Acid House to this deep rolling techno masterpiece. Drifting ethereal pads, a nice crisp beat to get your feet moving, and an enchanting acid melody all combine to create a mini work of art. When they were back making underground music instead of forgettable chart songs, they were hard to beat.

13) DJ Fokus – Get a Bearing

This is the only one in this selection from 1993. It was hard to choose just one as it was a very influential year to me, as the rule book on what you were supposed to do in the proto-jungle/DnB scene was ripped to pieces. Out of the torn shreds came this whopper. 1993 was known for embracing the dark side, and this masterpiece was no different, other than its futuristic production standards. Artists like DJ Crystl were already chopping amens to pieces, so it wasn’t entirely new, but the way the amen explodes out of the eerie atmospherics smacked me metaphorically in the face. This is how to make frantic rhythms compliment dark sinister tones, incredible production from DJ Fokus and the legendary engineer Pete Parsons (aka. Voyager).

14) Squarepusher – Iambic 5 Poetry

I first heard Squarepusher when I bought his ‘Feed Me Weird Things’ album, which was an incredible joy to listen to. He was later then to release this experimental piece of electronica which quite simply stunned me. It starts out mellow enough, with his well-known bass guitar dropping in and out and the drums and pads slowly evolving. Then the true beauty hits you, and the track goes off to another level entirely; completely out of nowhere. This is an example of Squarepusher's musical talent on show, as every layer of the track blends together as if being played by an ensemble of session musicians. Thank you Tom :)

15) PFM – Wash Over Me

I couldn’t have a list of influential tracks without PFM being in there at least once. This, their first release, is to me still my favourite. I remember first hearing it and just having a beaming smile from ear to ear. In 2 years we had gone from dark tracks that sampled every horror movie ever made, to this epic journey through ambient landscapes, all glued together with crisp beats. This was the beginning of a new chapter for me, this is probably where the idea for Omni Music was originally seeded.

16) Cyclone – Beautiful Minds

A quick duck back into 1991 here, for this relaxing excursion into oldskool vibes. This is a track that isn’t going to win any awards for making a dance floor go completely nuts, but it does win an award for making me so damn happy. A pad and piano rich affair that sweeps your mind away, it’s both elegant and beguiling. For me it’s a real trip down memory lane, instantly conjuring up thoughts and feelings from when I first listened to this.

17) DJ Gwange

Another 1994 masterpiece here. The blueprint of tearing amens and soaring melodies had been set, but expert producers still had the odd trick up their sleeve. Not only did DJ Gwange pepper this composition with the amens, lush pads and the deep bass that everyone was salivating for, he then dropped in an epic piano line. Since mid-1993, piano’s had been used sparingly, most producers avoiding using anything too uplifting, to keep that deep dark vibe the punters expected; but Gwange was having none of that (other obvious exceptions to the rule are Omni Trio, and Peshay – Piano Tune from the same year – both of which nearly made an appearance). He managed to create an uplifting piano hook that complimented the rest of the track perfectly, never steering towards the ‘Happy Hardcore’ sound that had recently evolved. This was showing that Drum and Bass could do whatever it wanted, if it was done well.

18) Mundo Muzique - Albido

Quick switch here to some 1992 Ambient/Techno. I nearly chose the magnificent A-Side 'Andromeda', but this one represents the mood and musicality that truly inspired me to this day. Part ambient, part techno, part something else, it’s electronic music being electronic music. This era was a superb time to be listening to this style, Warp Records were huge, Orbital were creating seminal works of art, and timeless music like this was appearing on R&S, Rising High and many others. With its clean crisp production, it's a perfect example of how electronic music was evolving and how it would eventually come to dominate the world.

19) Future Engineers – Cerulean Seas

I am going to end with this majestic work of art. It’s hard to choose a favourite Future Engineers tune, but this just gets in there into my number one spot. It conjures up so many feelings, with its drifting serene pads, shuffling breaks that don’t go over the top, and its relaxing vibe. It’s both sad and uplifting, the ambience washing over you like the sea in the title. Listening to it feels like you are sat on a desert island, thinking, sitting; watching the waves crash to the shore. Simply beautiful.]]>
Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Eschaton
Title: DD0608
Style: Ambient, House, Techno, Breakbeat, Hardcore, Jungle, Drum & Bass
Time: Minutes 112

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Eschaton to the Dusk Dubs family.

Hailing from the Midlands, UK, Eschaton spent his formative years listening and collecting electronic music. After hearing the early Acid House sounds crackling over pirate radio stations, he was hooked, and he followed the music as it grew and evolved into Atmospheric Drum and Bass. He used to DJ at low key events throughout Nottingham and Derby in the late 90’s, but never made a big name for himself; he was happy just to play the music he loved.

He eventually turned his attention to producing, and used his earlier influences to mold his own unique Drum and Bass sounds. In a way, his early productions were maybe too unique, which made it difficult to get signed. Eventually, he decided it was time to set up his own imprint, one that would showcase his own experimental productions, as well as a host of music from other producers he was in touch with from across the globe.

Omni Music was born in 2011, and since then has gone from strength to strength, releasing intelligent music that spans the drum and bass spectrum, as well as deep techno and ambient. With a huge catalogue under its belt, Omni Music has shown no sign of stopping, as Eschaton continues to delve deep into the demos he is sent, to release the very finest compositions he can find. Omni Music has been humbled to feature a multitude of talented artists such as Future Engineers, Voyager, Aural Imbalance, Pariah, Justice, Rob Haigh, Flatliner, Ricky Force, Madcap, DJ Trax, Stunna, Acid lab, Enjoy and hundreds more, giving each of them an outlet to express their sonic visions.

"My tastes in music are beyond eclectic, so I have narrowed down this list to electronic based works from the Acid House scene on wards, that have inspired my own work and what I choose to release on Omni Music. This is by no means a complete list, far from it, just a snapshot of what has created my own musical evolution." [[ Eschaton ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Aphex Twin – On

I have started with a beautiful and experimental piece from the master craftsman Aphex Twin. This reminds me of lazy Sundays after late nights, relaxing at a friend’s house and letting the electronica cleanse your tired body. It still maintains that forward thinking and positive vibe when I listen back to it, and instantly sends me back to those hazy afternoons.

2) Annette – Dream 17

I could have put many earlier Acid House tunes in place of this, but I just remember the first time I heard this on Pirate radio and I was hypnotized by the simple acid line and dreamy vocals. I was hooked on this music then, and this perfectly demonstrates why, simple, yet incredibly effective.

3) Intelligent Communication – Drive

This makes me smile every time I hear it. This is an alias of Future Sound of London, and they took the bleeps and bass sounds from Northern England and wrapped it up with crisp Breakbeats and soulful pads. It was a perfect recipe for me, and hearing this playing over the airways always gave me a sense of wonder, sitting out and watching the summer night sky.

4) Eat Static- Almost Human

I had heard some of the early Eat Static releases in 1991, which followed the rave and Breakbeat sound, so when I picked this 12” up (for a bargain £1) in 1992 I was floored. It was the beginning of that deep trance/techno, and I personally hadn’t heard it quite like this before. Layered synths and a frenetic energy made this head nodding and at the same time thought-provoking music. The trance synth sounds made a big impression on me, and I have never been able to quite shake them off!

5) Pulse – Stay Calm

Okay, a jump forward to 1994 now. This was when the amen break was now the king, and works of art like this were flying out the speakers. Although there were a lot of tracks that followed a similar blueprint to this back then, personally this had the edge, with its discreet pads, uplifting vocal stabs and layers of beats; it always made me jump up and down with delight. It was a glimpse of the future, bridging the dark sounds of 1993 with the more mature sounds that would dominate 1994 onwards.

6) Eze Ozo – How to Stay Alive

Back to 1991 now, possibly my favourite year for electronic music; as a DJ could play all styles in one set. I could have chosen either side of this magnificent record, but today, this one is ahead (it changes daily!). Deep, intelligent and brilliantly produced. If Good Looking Records was around in 1991, then this is the material they would have been releasing. An amazing work of art that I still think stands the test of time.

7) Future Bound – Sorrow

I could have chosen many atmospheric pieces from around this time, but there was always something sublime about this. The Breakbeat led opening made it perfect to mix and it wasn’t until it gets going you realise how incredible Drum and Bass had now become. Layers of epic pads, sprinkled with enchanting melodic stabs; this was music for the mind, body and soul. There aren’t many new atmospheric drum and bass tracks I feel can ever come close to the emotions pouring out of the speakers when this is playing.

8) Mykra – Mushrooms ‘97

Jumping ahead a little, we have this once in a lifetime piece of wonder. I can’t fault anything in this track, the breaks hit hard, the main melody sounds like it is being played by an angel and the soaring pads send goose bumps up and down my body. I really wish I had made this! I don’t need to say any more, I am left almost speechless by this beautifully crafted slice of electronic beauty.

9) System 7 – Habibi

Dropping the tempo completely here is a serene ambient piece from one of my favourite Oldskool trance/techno acts; System 7. This always hit the spot on those chill out days; relaxing moments away from the hectic parties. Although there are so many amazing ambient pieces from this era, this always stood out at the time, probably due to my own personal circumstances. It’s calm, reflective and still epic, with its heartfelt vocals and steady pulsing tribal vibe.

10) Cloud 9 – Mindbomb

1992 was a manic year, with so many classics, but I had to choose a piece that shaped my own sounds; so this was it. In the midlands I heard this played out constantly, tucked away on the B side of a now sough after white label. It was a beautiful change of pace in between the crazy Breakbeat mayhem, relying more on melodies that played with each other and sampling the piano line from Crimewatch (I think? I can’t quite remember). It always stood out to me with its individuality and choosing not to rely so much on Breakbeats.

11) The Invisible Man – Power

To be honest, this was another piece that could have been replaced with many others from Graham. His early work to me is pure genius, a perfect example of creating melodic drum and bass but keeping the dancefloor happy. The track twists and turns through different sections, and it always made my hairs stand up on end when the sweeping strings and the amen crash in, making me just stand there dumbfounded. Homer drool.

12) The Shamen – Possible Worlds (Deep Psi Mix)

Unfortunately, The Shamen are remembered for their daring and (arguably brilliant) achievement of getting to number 1 in the charts shouting ‘E’s are Good’. The brazen fact that they got away with it and no one noticed until it was too late is an epic win for them. But the track wasn’t particularly great, possibly one of their worst, so it’s a shame that’s how a lot of people remember them. Before that (and after), they were responsible for some stunning deep electronic music, from early Acid House to this deep rolling techno masterpiece. Drifting ethereal pads, a nice crisp beat to get your feet moving, and an enchanting acid melody all combine to create a mini work of art. When they were back making underground music instead of forgettable chart songs, they were hard to beat.

13) DJ Fokus – Get a Bearing

This is the only one in this selection from 1993. It was hard to choose just one as it was a very influential year to me, as the rule book on what you were supposed to do in the proto-jungle/DnB scene was ripped to pieces. Out of the torn shreds came this whopper. 1993 was known for embracing the dark side, and this masterpiece was no different, other than its futuristic production standards. Artists like DJ Crystl were already chopping amens to pieces, so it wasn’t entirely new, but the way the amen explodes out of the eerie atmospherics smacked me metaphorically in the face. This is how to make frantic rhythms compliment dark sinister tones, incredible production from DJ Fokus and the legendary engineer Pete Parsons (aka. Voyager).

14) Squarepusher – Iambic 5 Poetry

I first heard Squarepusher when I bought his ‘Feed Me Weird Things’ album, which was an incredible joy to listen to. He was later then to release this experimental piece of electronica which quite simply stunned me. It starts out mellow enough, with his well-known bass guitar dropping in and out and the drums and pads slowly evolving. Then the true beauty hits you, and the track goes off to another level entirely; completely out of nowhere. This is an example of Squarepusher's musical talent on show, as every layer of the track blends together as if being played by an ensemble of session musicians. Thank you Tom :)

This is a track that isn’t going to win any awards for making a dance floor go completely nuts, but it does win an award for making me so damn happy. A pad and piano rich affair that sweeps your mind away, it’s both elegant and beguiling. For me it’s a real trip down memory lane, instantly conjuring up thoughts and feelings from when I first listened to this.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Jason Carter from the Blapps Posse to the Dusk Dubs family.

Jason co-founded Blapps! Records with school friend Dazzle D in 1988 releasing tracks by the Dynamic Guv’nors which included other Islington Green alumni ST and MC Untouchable. The Group evolved into the Blapps! Posse with new members Aston Harvey, Lou’Eze, Maria Naylor, Techno C and William George. With different partners for each project, Jason went on to record as one half of Epitome of Hype, Turntable Symphony and Clusterfunk. Later he recorded solo as DJ Toolz, London Funk Allstars and Mad Doctor X, and as Jay Rock was the tour DJ for The Freestylers.

"Hi there! Hope you enjoy my playlist. It’s theme, if you want one to try and give it some coherence, is not unlike others on here. It is somewhat autobiographical and mostly chronological in as much as these songs sign-posts key points in my life and music career. Thanks" [[ Jason ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Carry On (1970)
2) Steely Dan – Rikki Don’t Lose that Number (1974)

Even though my mum worked 2 jobs, my dad always found money for his puff and his music. He had a state-of-the-art B&O stereo that my friends used to come ‘round and look at. It was like something from the future; a Beo Master amp with touch sensitive facia, remote control operation and BeoGram 4004 Record Deck with an arm that moved horizontally across the records it played.

Then there was his huge record collection, tapes and 8-tracks. So I found music and the listening to it important as there was more music than TV in our flat. The first 2 tracks represent memories of these times and are among the songs I still enjoy today and both bands created music well worth exploring.

3) Cat Stevens - Mona Bone Jakon (1970)

Cat Stevens created some beautiful music. My dad, again, constantly played his songs and I love his voice, melodies and lyrics. I was too young to understand I was listening to a genius. He actually paid for 3 coaches to take all of my primary school to Margate one year. It turns out that he went to the same school as me and this was how he chose to give something back. He used his success in music to do something positive. As Yusef Islam he continues to do so.

4) The Pork Dukes – Tight Pussy (1977)

Most of us have songs that remind us of a friendship formed. This is one of those. My mum and dad Divorced in 79, and all of a sudden, I’m living on a new estate. Eventually I befriended Terry whose parents were from St Lucia. Unusually, Terry was a fan of Punk (Below is how he would have dressed). He was 17 and going to watch bands at the Hope and Anchor on Upper Street. He would tell me about the fights he got into and I just couldn’t understand why he would want to follow music that had all that aggro around it. There was a lot of music in Terry’s house and he used to let me look through his family’s record collections which had a mixture of Punk, Lovers Rock and Roots. The track I have selected reminds me of that friendship. It’s not a typical example of Punk music or even the group who perform it. But it’s got more importance because it was on coloured vinyl which I’d never seen before. Also, the filth of the lyrics was something I’d never heard before. More profoundly though, I loved the rough and rugged feel of the record’s crudely drawn artwork. It probably wasn’t the first example of hand-drawn label copy and it wasn’t the last (obviously Schooly Dee’s releases spring to mind). I had this “home-made” feel at the forefront of my mind when, a few years later, I started to design the look of Blapps’ releases.

5) Grandmaster Flash - The Adventures Of Grandmaster Flash On The Wheels Of Steel (1981)

So up until now, my musical taste was influenced by other people. I would buy the occasional, throwaway 7” record but I didn’t have any particular music that I could identify myself with. Terry’s older brother, like their dad, was into Reggae and Ska and it was interesting to hear that the music of the Specials and Madness, that were in the charts at that time, had source material such as The Skatelites and Desmond Dekker. I got my hands on a compilation called Ska 67 but that was as far as it went for me back then. I was also aware of rap music as a new thing, but it was obscure and hadn’t yet been exploited as a gimmick in this country yet. Then one day I heard Wheels of Steel and everything changed for me. What blew my mind was the scratching: the manipulation of vinyl. When I found out how it was done, again, to me it was subversive. The way to play a record was to take it out of its sleeve, carefully, respectfully. You only touch the edges; you wipe the dust and gently lower the needle. This scratching thing was an anarchy of the turntable for me and I was fascinated.

6) Rammellzee And Shock Dell With Grandmaster DST - Rammellzee And Shock Dell At The Amphitheatre: (1983) from The Wildstyle Soundtrack

After discovering Rap and hip hop from Wheels of Steel, from ‘81 to ‘83 I was casually buying any records that had scratching or Rap. I’d buy anything Dalston Woolworth’s sold in the now iconic, generic PRT sleeve that Wheels of Steel was in: This UK distributor and label had all of the UK released tracks. I had no idea about imports or even where to buy them I just knew iconic PRT/Sleeved records were the releases to look for. This was the formation of the techniques that develop into classic record hunting strategies: Looking at associated labels, distributors, producers etc. to find new gems. I was still at school though, so music was a pocket money thing and I wanted to spend my money carefully.

One LP that I picked up based on the, now iconic, sleeve was the Wildstyle soundtrack LP. Obviously when I bought it, I didn’t realise what a significant recording this was, but it was probably, at that time, the first genuine artefact of everything that hip hop represented that you could buy in the UK at that time. With its many scratchable, quotable snippets and “breaks” that I would try and track down for years after. This is my favourite track of the album.

7) Imperial Brothers - We Come To Rock with Newcleus - Jam On It from Streetsounds Electro 3 (1984)

When you’re young and using small change to buy records, and when you don’t yet have any detailed knowledge about the music you’re into (from sources such as radio or magazines) a life-saver was the compilation album. I found The Electro albums when 3 came out. The reason I select these two tracks from the Electro 3 LP and not individually is because I had this album before I purchased the 2 tracks separately. Eventually, when I bought Jam On It, something blew my mind: Where was the 1st rap verse that was on the Electro album? I subsequently bought the Imperial Brothers on 12” and there it was. How did they do that? My ears had been opened to creative mixing for the first time. The tracks had been blended seamlessly.

So, while the Grandmaster Flash track had opened my ears to scratching, the Electro Albums and this mix right here, were the single thing that got me into mixing. I really wanted to learn how to do this. The Electro albums also had a hand in creating another friendship. It started with a casual discussion about these albums with someone in my science lesson at school. Eventually, the person I was talking to become a life-long friend. That friend, D, and I, would later go on to DeeJay together and then found Blapps! Records, but in ‘84 we were just kids in our last year of school, preparing for our CSE exams but enjoying talking about music.

8) Knights Of The Turntables – Techno Scratch (1984)

By winter 84 I had got a YTS apprenticeship. I was earning £25 per week so finally had the money to buy the dearer Imports. I’d also found Mr Music in Dalston and Groove Records in Greek Street- I used to trek up to the West End with D to buy releases from Groove’s and wonder at that granny that used to sit behind the counter. Knights of the Turntable was one of the first Imports I bought ever bought. More in your face scratching for me to analyse as I was getting closer to buying the equipment needed to try and scratch and mix myself.

9) Double Dee And Steinksi - Lesson 3 (History Of Hip Hop) (1985)

I only ever got a bootleg of this track but it was the final kick up the arse I needed to find out if I could manipulate records myself. The creativity of the mixing, the soul, the rap, the electro, snippets of dialogue: this mix spoke to me directly especially with its eclecticism. Also, there were songs I recognised in the mix but many I didn’t. I needed to track them down: Some of those drum brakes were what I loved …what were they how could I ever find out?

10) L.T.D. - Cuttin’ It Up: from Super Disco Breaks Vol. 6 (1984)

Eventually I stumbled on this break beat album. It was volume 4, so I was happy to know there were more volumes before and maybe some after! Unfortunately, at that time I couldn’t find them wherever I looked. I guess as bootlegs they were rare and maybe not much of a demand. I imagined that the regular faces that hung out in certain shops were getting the few that trickled into the country. Eventually, The Ultimate Breaks Albums started to come out, but these were the originals and this volume gave me artists to try and track down. The Paul Winley (and Ultimate) albums are important slices of hip hop history: Cuttin’ it Up remains my favourite track on this album.

11) The Jimmy Castor Bunch – It’s Just Begun (1972)

This track was also on the Winley breaks album and it is on my playlist as it was the first break I tracked down. I got it in Reckless records in Upper Street Islington. There was a guy worked in there called Trevor. I guess he knew his shit: he priced records accordingly or you could say excessively. He was a one-man Discogs of the late 80's and obviously knew the tracks that people, like me, were searching for. This probably wasn’t really a difficult L.P. to get your hands on at the time, along with L.P.s containing classic breaks like the Commodores and Magic Disco Machine’s. I think the Hip Hop scene and subsequent Rare Groove scene made the prices of records that would have been in the bargain bins a few years before, suddenly become “valuable”. However, it was good, good music that was getting a second lease of life.

12) Doctor Funnkenstein And DJ Cash Money - Scratchin’ To The Funk (Part 1) (1985)

Although I now had 2 turntables (Technique SL BDIIs) and a Realistic mixer bought from Tandy in Oxford street, I was still only buying one record if I found a break. The intent was there but I wasn’t at the stage where I was able to juggle 2 copies for an emcee and belt drive turntables would prove impossible to do this with as I was to discover later. I was practising scratching and trying to mix but the only good mixes happened when I accidentally selected two tracks of similar tempo and, luckily, released one track at the right moment. I was getting mad frustrated with mixing. What was I doing wrong? Eventually I would get it, but I enjoyed the challenge of learning to scratch although I was doing simplistic baby-scratch patterns (again, the belt drive didn’t help). This Cash Money 12” had scratch techniques that, at that time, took the skill to another level. I would listen and study the different rhythms and attempt them myself. This was a really important record for me and, I think, a lot of aspiring DJs.

13) Trouble Funk – So Early In The Morning (1982)

Thanks to the cash money Track, not only was I learning new scratch patterns, but I started digging deeper into Go-Go too. I knew the Hey Fellas track from the Sugar Hill, Rapped Uptight compilation album from ’82, but this track is so fierce. Heavy beats and that “Break it on down!” intro. I would bring this to every studio session to scratch and be inspired. It proved fortunate; the sample would become an important part of the Blapps! Posses’ Don’t Hold Back release.

14) Bob James – Nautilus (1974)

Also in ‘85 I found what would, for the next few years, become my Bible. David Toop’s 1984 book, Rap Attack. It was a wealth of knowledge: Giving me photos of artists who I’d only ever heard on records and lists of break-beats and rap and soul tracks I’d missed before I had started collecting records. It sent me on a mission to find artists like Baby Huey, Dennis Coffey and Bob James who were all mentioned in the book. If I had to pick my most favourite track from the hunting down of breaks it is this Bob James track. I realised it wasn’t just breakbeats I wanted to discover; it was good music generally.

15) Pink Floyd – Set The Controls For The Heart OF The Sun (1968)

I realised that the deeper you dug, and the more time you had to spend on digging, the more good music there was to discover. At this time, I didn’t have an ulterior motive: No tracks to sample for, no dance floor to play to, and still no Emcee to juggle for; I just enjoyed collecting records. Before I discovered this track, I’d known Pink Floyd from my school days. In about 1975 we’d gone round to some kid called Darren’s house to listen to the intro of Speak to Me/Breath, from the monolithic Dark Side of the Moon album just to hear the guy say “I’ve been mad for fucking years”

16) The Electric Prunes - The Adoration (1968)

Another expensive buy from Reckless. Whoever had this before me treated the vinyl beautifully and this is such a glorious LP to listen to but this track is just so good with its funky, rocky and psychedelic grooves that would eventually provide a massive sampling source for Rap and Trip Hop producers to mine.

17) Steady B - Bring The Beat Back (1986)

‘86 and I’m still on a quest to learn scratch patterns. Admittedly I was copying rather than learning my own, but I guess that’s how everyone starts to learn a new skill. I felt like I was mastering some of the Cash money patterns. I was spending those hours that you seem to have as a youth, trying to get it right. There’s also DJ Cheese coming through with his own twisty scratch and Steady B’s Grand Dragon KD with his Transformer scratch on this release. I went to the Hippodrome to see Cheese win the DMC championship. It was an exciting night, not only because a prize winner disappeared from the stage when they fell down the stage pit onto a drum kit (I don’t think they were hurt) but after Cheese was crowned champ, raising the roof chopping up Hashim and scratching new beat patterns out of the bass and snare from Doug E Fresh’s The Show, the guy in 3rd place Orlando Voorn, grabbed the mic and asked “Is this a deejay contest or a scratching contest?”. Apart from Cheese, all the other sets were attempts to beat mix as many tracks as possible in the allocated time. It seems weird now that, at that time, mix DeeJays and Scratch Deejays were considered different skills but I guess it was hosted by the Disco “MIX” Club so that’s probably what pissed Voorn off. That year, I also went to Morgan Khan’s UK Fresh to try and see how Grand Dragon KD did the transformer scratch that is on my play-listed Steady B track. It sounded to my ears as if he was bumping the deck to make the needle bounce rhythmically across the point of E.U.’s Knock Him Out Sugar Ray that he was cutting up. It turns out I was none the wiser because from where I sat the artists on stage were as small as Subbuteo players.

18) Timex Social Club - Rumors (1986)

By late ‘86 I had taught myself to mix and scratch as competently as I could. Me and D were playing sets at blues parties. We mostly used other peoples’ equipment. Classically, the guys who brought the sound systems were playing reggae and we would play the soul and rap cuts when a change was needed. Like Terry’s older brother, those guys were a few years older than us so that was their generation’s music. We would drop tracks by groups like Cameo, SOS band, Unlimited Touch, UTFO, Yarborough and Peoples and so on. But in the summer of ‘87 I was invited to play at a party in Murray Grove, Hoxton. I didn’t know anyone there and I was going to be using 1200s for the first time. As I keep saying, I’d taught myself to mix on belt drives, and I’d never touched a proper Direct Drive table at other parties. At this party I chopped between 2 copies of Timex Social Club’s Rumours, something I had practised in my bedroom. I had people standing round me watching, loving it and it was the first time Id seen people actually appreciate what I could do. I also realised how much easier it was to use 1200s to manipulate vinyl. This record brings back that happy time for me. Prior to this, the biggest buzz I’d got from DJ'ing was when Tim Westwood played a tape me and D had sent in to LWR. I was baby-scratching over the top of Hashim’s, Al-Naafiysh while D did an off-the-cuff rap. I was still doing my apprenticeship at that time, so I (imaginatively) called myself The Apprentice DJ, and D was Dazzle D. It was just us pissing about and we didn’t really think any more about it.

19) Kleeer - Intimate Connection (1984)

I just love Kleeer and this is one of my favourite tracks of theirs, but it isn’t a classic example of their music. However, it’s important for my play-list because it was one of the tracks I had on a mix I recorded onto cassette and took to Jah Tubby’s mastering studio in Broadway Market, Hackney. I was a student at Hackney college which was around the corner from JTS. I remember the DJs at the Blues had these dubplates and I became obsessed with the idea of having one of my own, home-recorded mega-mixes cut onto one. So I took my tape to Jah Tubby’s and got myself a 10 inch plate. This song reminds me of my first trip to Keith’s laboratory, a place I would return to when Blapps! started releasing records.

20) Adonis – No Way Back (1986)
21) Marshall Jefferson – The House Music Anthem (1986)

I’m sure everyone took the first record they bought on the Trax label back to the record shop before it became apparent they just pressed their records on shit vinyl. I bought these records in ’87. I can’t remember if House music was a thing when I bought the Adonis track, but to me it just sounded like a raw electro cut, like how Juan Atkins’ music went from being labelled Electro to Techno. The crackles and studio hum that sounded like an un-grounded turntable gives this track add an additional, gritty, flavour which I loved. And, by virtue of its name alone, I guess Marshall Jefferson’s song was the first House record I bought: I just bought it because of it’s beefy drums and dirty piano not thinking at all about its categorisation.

22) Armando – Land Of Confusion (1987)

I remember the first time I heard this track like it was yesterday. I went to D’s house who was still getting ready as we were preparing to go clubbing somewhere. I imagine it was The Fever, Do at the Zoo or something. D was either playing this off the radio or had taped it to play it to me. All I know is my mind was blown. This was probably more basic than Adonis but that dirty, twisty, bass synth noise going through it? Damn! For some reason I thought of the Larry Young’s Fuel track, Turn off the Lights with its nasty, malevolent moog. This was a futuristic sci-fi version of Electro funk and it was pure filth. I went to the record shop the next day to buy it and for a while bought anything that came along that had a 303 bassline in it.

23) Royal House – Can You Party (1988)

Just when a new style of music comes along (house) trust Hip Hop to try and bastardize it. To me, Terry sounded like the new Marley Marl. His sonically crunchy samples sounded like an authentic deconstruction of House done by a B-Boy. At that time, I didn’t have a clue about sample manipulation but what he had done with Marshall Jefferson sounded like next level genius. Later that year, by pure accident, I found myself at Noise Gate Studio in New Cross. I was there to scratch for a friend who didn’t even turn up. He had paid for the studio time and I had a bag full of records as I was there to scratch. Michael Menson (RIP), the studio owner and engineer and one half of Double Trouble, suggested using the time up to create something. I guess it was just pure luck that the first thing produced was Rock The Discotheques which was Blapps! Records’ first release. In all fairness, its not very imaginative, just a straight rip off of this Royal House track.

Without even thinking about quality I took the quarter inch tape onto which the tracks were recorded, to Jah Tubby’s to get 300 copies pressed. We probably ended up selling 10,000 copies from the back of our cars: pure beginners luck.

24) Nicolette – Single Minded People (1990)

By 1990 I was still working and in the last year of my apprenticeship. Our label, Blapps! was ticking along nicely. We were good-naturedly and blindly stumbling along, generally being lucky with releases and earning a bit of change on the side, mostly from doing P.A.s. My hobby was proving lucrative and my school friends were along for the ride; Dazzle D, MC Untouchable, ST all contributing to tracks. I remember drawing labels in my workshop when I’d done all my repairs in peoples properties. You have big dreams when you're young, like nothing will ever hold you back. My personal vision, not a new one obviously, was to make a musical collective so the Dynamic Guv’nors expanded into the Blapps! Posse. We’d picked up Aston as he was on his way to greater things with DJ Rap and the Freestylers and a friend from college, Techno C who would go on to be Industry Standard. While we did our thing, others were doing theirs in this burgeoning “bedroom” scene. Most notably to me it was Shut Up and Dance. I feel we were doing the same kind of thing, Hip Hop lovers were producing tracks for ravers. In all fairness I don’t think we got the same success as PJ and Smiley, but we were earning similar respect I like to think. And on a personal level, I feel they were pushing me to always try and go one better in the studio. So, they were indirectly and partly inspirational, but at the time I didn’t actually recognise it. Anyway, when I heard the stuff with Nicolette, that’s when I knew, the Blapps! Posse should not just be DJs and Emcees, it needed singers too

25) The Sindecut - Having (1990)

Likewise, when I heard this album it cemented it for me: I wanted Blapps! to be a mash-up of influences and feature DJs, Emcees and singers. Like I said, not an original idea but that was Blapps’ vision when we started work on our next release

26) Rebel MC Featuring Tenor Fly – The Wickedest Sound (1991)

The first time I met Fly (RIP), I was in ‘91. I was at Double Trouble’s new studio in Denmark Street recording with Techno C. We had released an EP called Outrage but changed our name to Epitome of Hype for a couple of releases. Fly was recording with Rebel MC (Congo Natty) in the same studio. Rebel was vital to Blapps’ development. He’d let The Dynamic Guvnors produce a track on his first LP which was I guess was a massive gamble for him and making Don’t Hold Back the inaugural release on his new Tribal Base label was yet another boost for us. Aston had brought in his friend Lou’eze (Louchie Lou) who had the most amazing, powerful voice and it felt like the pieces were finally coming together. Fly’s Town Ah Run Hot was released on Tribal Base just after. I would later record tracks with Fly myself and tour with him and another mighty Emcee, Navigator, as part of Aston’s Freestylers project. This track is one of the blueprints of Jungle music and is a classic, mighty banger.

27) A Tribe Called Quest – Electric Relaxation (1993)
28) Wu-Tang Clan – Clan In The Front (1993)

I want to end with these two tracks which, although worthy of any playlist and here for more personal reasons and were an example of being in the right place at the right time. In 1993, I went to New York for the first time with my then girlfriend and now my wife. We went in November to Christmas shop. This turned out to be an even more special trip: We had just found out our first child was in her belly. Morning sickness blighted the trip for her but bless her she found strength to stagger round record shops with her vinyl obsessed boyfriend. It was in one shop I spotted Tribe’s new album and I had this and a stack of other tracks and was standing at the counter. Someone tapped me on the shoulder as I waited to pay and when I turned around one of the shop’s staff is standing there holding an LP. He says” This just came out, you gotta get this too, trust me”. It was Enter the 36 Chambers. I was in NYC when, probably, the best two rap albums to ever come out of NY were released and I was going be a dad too. These are my favourite cuts from both albums, and they remind me of one of the best times of my life and is a good place to end my playlist.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Jason Carter from the Blapps Posse to the Dusk Dubs family.

Jason co-founded Blapps! Records with school friend Dazzle D in 1988 releasing tracks by the Dynamic Guv’nors which included other Islington Green alumni ST and MC Untouchable. The Group evolved into the Blapps! Posse with new members Aston Harvey, Lou’Eze, Maria Naylor, Techno C and William George. With different partners for each project, Jason went on to record as one half of Epitome of Hype, Turntable Symphony and Clusterfunk. Later he recorded solo as DJ Toolz, London Funk Allstars and Mad Doctor X, and as Jay Rock was the tour DJ for The Freestylers.

"Hi there! Hope you enjoy my playlist. It’s theme, if you want one to try and give it some coherence, is not unlike others on here. It is somewhat autobiographical and mostly chronological in as much as these songs sign-posts key points in my life and music career. Thanks" [[ Jason ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Carry On (1970)
2) Steely Dan – Rikki Don’t Lose that Number (1974)

Even though my mum worked 2 jobs, my dad always found money for his puff and his music. He had a state-of-the-art B&O stereo that my friends used to come ‘round and look at. It was like something from the future; a Beo Master amp with touch sensitive facia, remote control operation and BeoGram 4004 Record Deck with an arm that moved horizontally across the records it played.

Then there was his huge record collection, tapes and 8-tracks. So I found music and the listening to it important as there was more music than TV in our flat. The first 2 tracks represent memories of these times and are among the songs I still enjoy today and both bands created music well worth exploring.

3) Cat Stevens - Mona Bone Jakon (1970)

Cat Stevens created some beautiful music. My dad, again, constantly played his songs and I love his voice, melodies and lyrics. I was too young to understand I was listening to a genius. He actually paid for 3 coaches to take all of my primary school to Margate one year. It turns out that he went to the same school as me and this was how he chose to give something back. He used his success in music to do something positive. As Yusef Islam he continues to do so.

4) The Pork Dukes – Tight Pussy (1977)

Most of us have songs that remind us of a friendship formed. This is one of those. My mum and dad Divorced in 79, and all of a sudden, I’m living on a new estate. Eventually I befriended Terry whose parents were from St Lucia. Unusually, Terry was a fan of Punk (Below is how he would have dressed). He was 17 and going to watch bands at the Hope and Anchor on Upper Street. He would tell me about the fights he got into and I just couldn’t understand why he would want to follow music that had all that aggro around it. There was a lot of music in Terry’s house and he used to let me look through his family’s record collections which had a mixture of Punk, Lovers Rock and Roots. The track I have selected reminds me of that friendship. It’s not a typical example of Punk music or even the group who perform it. But it’s got more importance because it was on coloured vinyl which I’d never seen before. Also, the filth of the lyrics was something I’d never heard before. More profoundly though, I loved the rough and rugged feel of the record’s crudely drawn artwork. It probably wasn’t the first example of hand-drawn label copy and it wasn’t the last (obviously Schooly Dee’s releases spring to mind). I had this “home-made” feel at the forefront of my mind when, a few years later, I started to design the look of Blapps’ releases.

5) Grandmaster Flash - The Adventures Of Grandmaster Flash On The Wheels Of Steel (1981)

So up until now, my musical taste was influenced by other people. I would buy the occasional, throwaway 7” record but I didn’t have any particular music that I could identify myself with. Terry’s older brother, like their dad, was into Reggae and Ska and it was interesting to hear that the music of the Specials and Madness, that were in the charts at that time, had source material such as The Skatelites and Desmond Dekker. I got my hands on a compilation called Ska 67 but that was as far as it went for me back then. I was also aware of rap music as a new thing, but it was obscure and hadn’t yet been exploited as a gimmick in this country yet. Then one day I heard Wheels of Steel and everything changed for me. What blew my mind was the scratching: the manipulation of vinyl. When I found out how it was done, again, to me it was subversive. The way to play a record was to take it out of its sleeve, carefully, respectfully. You only touch the edges; you wipe the dust and gently lower the needle. This scratching thing was an anarchy of the turntable for me and I was fascinated.

6) Rammellzee And Shock Dell With Grandmaster DST - Rammellzee And Shock Dell At The Amphitheatre: (1983) from The Wildstyle Soundtrack

After discovering Rap and hip hop from Wheels of Steel, from ‘81 to ‘83 I was casually buying any records that had scratching or Rap. I’d buy anything Dalston Woolworth’s sold in the now iconic, generic PRT sleeve that Wheels of Steel was in: This UK distributor and label had all of the UK released tracks. I had no idea about imports or even where to buy them I just knew iconic PRT/Sleeved records were the releases to look for. This was the formation of the techniques that develop into classic record hunting strategies: Looking at associated labels, distributors, producers etc. to find new gems. I was still at school though, so music was a pocket money thing and I wanted to spend my money carefully.

One LP that I picked up based on the, now iconic, sleeve was the Wildstyle soundtrack LP. Obviously when I bought it, I didn’t realise what a significant recording this was, but it was probably, at that time, the first genuine artefact of everything that hip hop represented that you could buy in the UK at that time. With its many scratchable, quotable snippets and “breaks” that I would try and track down for years after. This is my favourite track of the album.

7) Imperial Brothers - We Come To Rock with Newcleus - Jam On It from Streetsounds Electro 3 (1984)

When you’re young and using small change to buy records, and when you don’t yet have any detailed knowledge about the music you’re into (from sources such as radio or magazines) a life-saver was the compilation album. I found The Electro albums when 3 came out. The reason I select these two tracks from the Electro 3 LP and not individually is because I had this album before I purchased the 2 tracks separately. Eventually, when I bought Jam On It, something blew my mind: Where was the 1st rap verse that was on the Electro album? I subsequently bought the Imperial Brothers on 12” and there it was. How did they do that? My ears had been opened to creative mixing for the first time. The tracks had been blended seamlessly.

So, while the Grandmaster Flash track had opened my ears to scratching, the Electro Albums and this mix right here, were the single thing that got me into mixing. I really wanted to learn how to do this. The Electro albums also had a hand in creating another friendship. It started with a casual discussion about these albums with someone in my science lesson at school. Eventually, the person I was talking to become a life-long friend. That friend, D, and I, would later go on to DeeJay together and then found Blapps! Records, but in ‘84 we were just kids in our last year of school, preparing for our CSE exams but enjoying talking about music.

8) Knights Of The Turntables – Techno Scratch (1984)

By winter 84 I had got a YTS apprenticeship. I was earning £25 per week so finally had the money to buy the dearer Imports. I’d also found Mr Music in Dalston and Groove Records in Greek Street- I used to trek up to the West End with D to buy releases from Groove’s and wonder at that granny that used to sit behind the counter. Knights of the Turntable was one of the first Imports I bought ever bought. More in your face scratching for me to analyse as I was getting closer to buying the equipment needed to try and scratch and mix myself.

9) Double Dee And Steinksi - Lesson 3 (History Of Hip Hop) (1985)

I only ever got a bootleg of this track but it was the final kick up the arse I needed to find out if I could manipulate records myself. The creativity of the mixing, the soul, the rap, the electro, snippets of dialogue: this mix spoke to me directly especially with its eclecticism. Also, there were songs I recognised in the mix but many I didn’t. I needed to track them down: Some of those drum brakes were what I loved …what were they how could I ever find out?

10) L.T.D. - Cuttin’ It Up: from Super Disco Breaks Vol. 6 (1984)

Eventually I stumbled on this break beat album. It was volume 4, so I was happy to know there were more volumes before and maybe some after! Unfortunately, at that time I couldn’t find them wherever I looked. I guess as bootlegs they were rare and maybe not much of a demand. I imagined that the regular faces that hung out in certain shops were getting the few that trickled into the country. Eventually, The Ultimate Breaks Albums started to come out, but these were the originals and this volume gave me artists to try and track down. The Paul Winley (and Ultimate) albums are important slices of hip hop history: Cuttin’ it Up remains my favourite track on this album.

11) The Jimmy Castor Bunch – It’s Just Begun (1972)

This track was also on the Winley breaks album and it is on my playlist as it was the first break I tracked down. I got it in Reckless records in Upper Street Islington. There was a guy worked in there called Trevor. I guess he knew his shit: he priced records accordingly or you could say excessively. He was a one-man Discogs of the late 80's and obviously knew the tracks that people, like me, were searching for. This probably wasn’t really a difficult L.P. to get your hands on at the time, along with L.P.s containing classic breaks like the Commodores and Magic Disco Machine’s. I think the Hip Hop scene and subsequent Rare Groove scene made the prices of records that would have been in the bargain bins a few years before, suddenly become “valuable”. However, it was good, good music that was getting a second lease of life.

12) Doctor Funnkenstein And DJ Cash Money - Scratchin’ To The Funk (Part 1) (1985)

Although I now had 2 turntables (Technique SL BDIIs) and a Realistic mixer bought from Tandy in Oxford street, I was still only buying one record if I found a break. The intent was there but I wasn’t at the stage where I was able to juggle 2 copies for an emcee and belt drive turntables would prove impossible to do this with as I was to discover later. I was practising scratching and trying to mix but the only good mixes happened when I accidentally selected two tracks of similar tempo and, luckily, released one track at the right moment. I was getting mad frustrated with mixing. What was I doing wrong? Eventually I would get it, but I enjoyed the challenge of learning to scratch although I was doing simplistic baby-scratch patterns (again, the belt drive didn’t help). This Cash Money 12” had scratch techniques that, at that time, took the skill to another level. I would listen and study the different rhythms and attempt them myself. This was a really important record for me and, I think, a lot of aspiring DJs.

13) Trouble Funk – So Early In The Morning (1982)

Thanks to the cash money Track, not only was I learning new scratch patterns, but I started digging deeper into Go-Go too. I knew the Hey Fellas track from the Sugar Hill, Rapped Uptight compilation album from ’82, but this track is so fierce. Heavy beats and that “Break it on down!” intro. I would bring this to every studio session to scratch and be inspired. It proved fortunate; the sample would become an important part of the Blapps! Posses’ Don’t Hold Back release.

14) Bob James – Nautilus (1974)

Also in ‘85 I found what would, for the next few years, become my Bible. David Toop’s 1984 book, Rap Attack. It was a wealth of knowledge: Giving me photos of artists who I’d only ever heard on records and lists of break-beats and rap and soul tracks I’d missed before I had started collecting records. It sent me on a mission to find artists like Baby Huey, Dennis Coffey and Bob James who were all mentioned in the book. If I had to pick my most favourite track from the hunting down of breaks it is this Bob James track. I realised it wasn’t just breakbeats I wanted to discover; it was good music generally.

15) Pink Floyd – Set The Controls For The Heart OF The Sun (1968)

I realised that the deeper you dug, and the more time you had to spend on digging, the more good music there was to discover. At this time, I didn’t have an ulterior motive: No tracks to sample for, no dance floor to play to, and still no Emcee to juggle for; I just enjoyed collecting records. Before I discovered this track, I’d known Pink Floyd from my school days. In about 1975 we’d gone round to some kid called Darren’s house to listen to the intro of Speak to Me/Breath, from the monolithic Dark Side of the Moon album just to hear the guy say “I’ve been mad for fucking years”

16) The Electric Prunes - The Adoration (1968)

Another expensive buy from Reckless. Whoever had this before me treated the vinyl beautifully and this is such a glorious LP to listen to but this track is just so good with its funky, rocky and psychedelic grooves that would eventually provide a massive sampling source for Rap and Trip Hop producers to mine.

17) Steady B - Bring The Beat Back (1986)

‘86 and I’m still on a quest to learn scratch patterns. Admittedly I was copying rather than learning my own, but I guess that’s how everyone starts to learn a new skill. I felt like I was mastering some of the Cash money patterns. I was spending those hours that you seem to have as a youth, trying to get it right. There’s also DJ Cheese coming through with his own twisty scratch and Steady B’s Grand Dragon KD with his Transformer scratch on this release. I went to the Hippodrome to see Cheese win the DMC championship. It was an exciting night, not only because a prize winner disappeared from the stage when they fell down the stage pit onto a drum kit (I don’t think they were hurt) but after Cheese was crowned champ, raising the roof chopping up Hashim and scratching new beat patterns out of the bass and snare from Doug E Fresh’s The Show, the guy in 3rd place Orlando Voorn, grabbed the mic and asked “Is this a deejay contest or a scratching contest?”. Apart from Cheese, all the other sets were attempts to beat mix as many tracks as possible in the allocated time. It seems weird now that, at that time, mix DeeJays and Scratch Deejays were considered different skills but I guess it was hosted by the Disco “MIX” Club so that’s probably what pissed Voorn off. That year, I also went to Morgan Khan’s UK Fresh to try and see how Grand Dragon KD did the transformer scratch that is on my play-listed Steady B track. It sounded to my ears as if he was bumping the deck to make the needle bounce rhythmically across the point of E.U.’s Knock Him Out Sugar Ray that he was cutting up. It turns out I was none the wiser because from where I sat the artists on stage were as small as Subbuteo players.

18) Timex Social Club - Rumors (1986)

By late ‘86 I had taught myself to mix and scratch as competently as I could. Me and D were playing sets at blues parties. We mostly used other peoples’ equipment. Classically, the guys who brought the sound systems were playing reggae and we would play the soul and rap cuts when a change was needed. Like Terry’s older brother, those guys were a few years older than us so that was their generation’s music. We would drop tracks by groups like Cameo, SOS band, Unlimited Touch, UTFO, Yarborough and Peoples and so on. But in the summer of ‘87 I was invited to play at a party in Murray Grove, Hoxton. I didn’t know anyone there and I was going to be using 1200s for the first time. As I keep saying, I’d taught myself to mix on belt drives, and I’d never touched a proper Direct Drive table at other parties. At this party I chopped between 2 copies of Timex Social Club’s Rumours, something I had practised in my bedroom. I had people standing round me watching, loving it and it was the first time Id seen people actually appreciate what I could do. I also realised how much easier it was to use 1200s to manipulate vinyl. This record brings back that happy time for me. Prior to this, the biggest buzz I’d got from DJ'ing was when Tim Westwood played a tape me and D had sent in to LWR. I was baby-scratching over the top of Hashim’s, Al-Naafiysh while D did an off-the-cuff rap. I was still doing my apprenticeship at that time, so I (imaginatively) called myself The Apprentice DJ, and D was Dazzle D. It was just us pissing about and we didn’t really think any more about it.

19) Kleeer - Intimate Connection (1984)

I just love Kleeer and this is one of my favourite tracks of theirs, but it isn’t a classic example of their music. However, it’s important for my play-list because it was one of the tracks I had on a mix I recorded onto cassette and took to Jah Tubby’s mastering studio in Broadway Market, Hackney. I was a student at Hackney college which was around the corner from JTS. I remember the DJs at the Blues had these dubplates and I became obsessed with the idea of having one of my own, home-recorded mega-mixes cut onto one. So I took my tape to Jah Tubby’s and got myself a 10 inch plate. This song reminds me of my first trip to Keith’s laboratory, a place I would return to when Blapps! started releasing records.

20) Adonis – No Way Back (1986)
21) Marshall Jefferson – The House Music Anthem (1986)

I’m sure everyone took the first record they bought on the Trax label back to the record shop before it became apparent they just pressed their records on shit vinyl. I bought these records in ’87. I can’t remember if House music was a thing when I bought the Adonis track, but to me it just sounded like a raw electro cut, like how Juan Atkins’ music went from being labelled Electro to Techno. The crackles and studio hum that sounded like an un-grounded turntable gives this track add an additional, gritty, flavour which I loved. And, by virtue of its name alone, I guess Marshall Jefferson’s song was the first House record I bought: I just bought it because of it’s beefy drums and dirty piano not thinking at all about its categorisation.

22) Armando – Land Of Confusion (1987)

I remember the first time I heard this track like it was yesterday. I went to D’s house who was still getting ready as we were preparing to go clubbing somewhere. I imagine it was The Fever, Do at the Zoo or something. D was either playing this off the radio or had taped it to play it to me. All I know is my mind was blown. This was probably more basic than Adonis but that dirty, twisty, bass synth noise going through it? Damn! For some reason I thought of the Larry Young’s Fuel track, Turn off the Lights with its nasty, malevolent moog. This was a futuristic sci-fi version of Electro funk and it was pure filth. I went to the record shop the next day to buy it and for a while bought anything that came along that had a 303 bassline in it.

23) Royal House – Can You Party (1988)

Just when a new style of music comes along (house) trust Hip Hop to try and bastardize it. To me, Terry sounded like the new Marley Marl. His sonically crunchy samples sounded like an authentic deconstruction of House done by a B-Boy. At that time, I didn’t have a clue about sample manipulation but what he had done with Marshall Jefferson sounded like next level genius. Later that year, by pure accident, I found myself at Noise Gate Studio in New Cross. I was there to scratch for a friend who didn’t even turn up. He had paid for the studio time and I had a bag full of records as I was there to scratch. Michael Menson (RIP), the studio owner and engineer and one half of Double Trouble, suggested using the time up to create something. I guess it was just pure luck that the first thing produced was Rock The Discotheques which was Blapps! Records’ first release. In all fairness, its not very imaginative, just a straight rip off of this Royal House track.

Without even thinking about quality I took the quarter inch tape onto which the tracks were recorded, to Jah Tubby’s to get 300 copies pressed. We probably ended up selling 10,000 copies from the back of our cars: pure beginners luck.

24) Nicolette – Single Minded People (1990)

By 1990 I was still working and in the last year of my apprenticeship. Our label, Blapps! was ticking along nicely. We were good-naturedly and blindly stumbling along, generally being lucky with releases and earning a bit of change on the side, mostly from doing P.A.s. My hobby was proving lucrative and my school friends were along for the ride; Dazzle D, MC Untouchable, ST all contributing to tracks. I remember drawing labels in my workshop when I’d done all my repairs in peoples properties. You have big dreams when you're young, like nothing will ever hold you back. My personal vision, not a new one obviously, was to make a musical collective so the Dynamic Guv’nors expanded into the Blapps! Posse. We’d picked up Aston as he was on his way to greater things with DJ Rap and the Freestylers and a friend from college, Techno C who would go on to be Industry Standard. While we did our thing, others were doing theirs in this burgeoning “bedroom” scene. Most notably to me it was Shut Up and Dance. I feel we were doing the same kind of thing, Hip Hop lovers were producing tracks for ravers. In all fairness I don’t think we got the same success as PJ and Smiley, but we were earning similar respect I like to think. And on a personal level, I feel they were pushing me to always try and go one better in the studio. So, they were indirectly and partly inspirational, but at the time I didn’t actually recognise it. Anyway, when I heard the stuff with Nicolette, that’s when I knew, the Blapps! Posse should not just be DJs and Emcees, it needed singers too

25) The Sindecut - Having (1990)

Likewise, when I heard this album it cemented it for me: I wanted Blapps! to be a mash-up of influences and feature DJs, Emcees and singers. Like I said, not an original idea but that was Blapps’ vision when we started work on our next release

26) Rebel MC Featuring Tenor Fly – The Wickedest Sound (1991)

The first time I met Fly (RIP), I was in ‘91. I was at Double Trouble’s new studio in Denmark Street recording with Techno C. We had released an EP called Outrage but changed our name to Epitome of Hype for a couple of releases. Fly was recording with Rebel MC (Congo Natty) in the same studio. Rebel was vital to Blapps’ development. He’d let The Dynamic Guvnors produce a track on his first LP which was I guess was a massive gamble for him and making Don’t Hold Back the inaugural release on his new Tribal Base label was yet another boost for us. Aston had brought in his friend Lou’eze (Louchie Lou) who had the most amazing, powerful voice and it felt like the pieces were finally coming together. Fly’s Town Ah Run Hot was released on Tribal Base just after. I would later record tracks with Fly myself and tour with him and another mighty Emcee, Navigator, as part of Aston’s Freestylers project. This track is one of the blueprints of Jungle music and is a classic, mighty banger.

27) A Tribe Called Quest – Electric Relaxation (1993)
28) Wu-Tang Clan – Clan In The Front (1993)

I want to end with these two tracks which, although worthy of any playlist and here for more personal reasons and were an example of being in the right place at the right time. In 1993, I went to New York for the first time with my then girlfriend and now my wife. We went in November to Christmas shop. This turned out to be an even more special trip: We had just found out our first child was in her belly. Morning sickness blighted the trip for her but bless her she found strength to stagger round record shops with her vinyl obsessed boyfriend. It was in one shop I spotted Tribe’s new album and I had this and a stack of other tracks and was standing at the counter. Someone tapped me on the shoulder as I waited to pay and when I turned around one of the shop’s staff is standing there holding an LP. He says” This just came out, you gotta get this too, trust me”. It was Enter the 36 Chambers. I was in NYC when, probably, the best two rap albums to ever come out of NY were released and I was going be a dad too. These are my favourite cuts from both albums, and they remind me of one of the best times of my life and is a good place to end my playlist.]]> 3963494 no no Sun, 17 Nov 2019 09:26:08 +0100 2019-11-17T09:26:08+01:00 2:25:08 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/echo-chamber-005/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Si Moutarde to the Dusk Dubs family.

Si Moutarde starting djing in 1987 playing funk and hip-hop, but soon moved onto acid house and Balearic in 1990. He played early sets at the Wag and Brain clubs in Wardour Street as well as a lot of the old clubs that alas are no more. Si was also part of the popular Sync parties at the George IV in Brixton in the mid-nineties. From about 2003 Si stepped back from djing due to the birth of his first daughter but still managed to find time to produce his own stuff.

That continued for about 9 years until Si got back into djing, by playing at locally run club nights in Bromley. From there he went on to hold residence spots at ‘Funk’d Up’ and ‘We Are Balearic’ as well doing his own infamous 'Rude Transmissions Radio Show', which has been running for the last 3 years and has had the pleasure of having some of the best djs in this scene of ours supplying guest mixes.

You can also catch Si hosting 'The Hip-Hop Breakfast Show' on Graffiti Radio, along with Dean Slater and Dunc Stark on monthly rotation from 9am Saturday mornings for the best in hip-hop old and new.

Very busy and exciting times ahead.

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Ski Oakenfull to the Dusk Dubs family.

Ski is an Artist, Keyboard player, Producer, Remixer and Composer living in London. Having started his career with The K-Creative who were signed to Gilles Peterson's Talkin' Loud label in 1991, he went on to release two solo albums, Life Changes & Rising Son, play keyboards with bands such as Galliano, Raw Stylus & Two Banks of Four, remix over 50 tracks, and work at Xenomania. He currently releases music on his own label, Primaudial Records, plays live with The Bays, writes & produces with artists such as Incognito, Joey Negro, Valerie Etienne. He has an Ambient Electronic project called Ayota, and also does a bit of DJing in his spare time. Alongside his production work, Ski holds the position of Head of Education at Point Blank Music School where he writes courses in electronic music for their BA (Hons) degree programmes. He has also made over a hundred videos for the school’s YouTube channel which have racked up over six million views..

"What a challenge to try to define my musical 'DNA' through a two hour selection of tracks! Still, it is a great honour to have been asked, and I have found it to be a very satisfying experience. I hope that the playlist works as an enjoyable listen as well as marking crucial points in the evolution of my musical appreciation. The hardest thing was knowing where to start and choosing what to miss out. I could have included artists such as Howard Jones, Depeche Mode & Tears for Fears who I loved as a teenager for example, but instead I tried to focus on tracks that had the biggest impact on me when I first discovered them and have subsequently become musical reference points for my own compositions.

Looking back at my selection, it seems that the one common thread is Jazz, whether that's Johnny Marr's guitar chords, Larry Heard's synth pads or Ryuichi Sakamoto's piano riffs. Jazz can define an attitude as well as a sound, so maybe this explains my choices. I'd just like to say a massive thanks to all the friends, DJs, podcasters, musicians, producers, colleagues and students who have expanded my musical vocabularly over the years. I am eternally grateful, and I can't wait to hear what's round the corner !" [[ Ski ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Dauwd – What’s There

This immaculately produced future-garage track from Dauwd blew me away when I first heard it on Giles Peterson's radio show in 2012. Dauwd sets the bar extremely high with his precision programming.

2) Lone – Pulsar

I've been a massive fan of Lone since I watched his first Boiler Room set. He manages to create a perfect blend of soulful 90's house with delicate ambient textures. In this track from his 'Ambivert Tools Volume Four EP' I can really hear the influence of 'Papua New Guinea' by Future Sound of London, especially when the breakbeat comes in.

3) Larry Heard - What About This Love?

Larry Heard represents the side of House Music I really love, especially some of his early releases on Gherkin Records. This track from 1989 is sublime, with the trademark jazzy, soulful chords and smooth vocal performed by Larry himself.

4) Yellow Magic Orchestra – Technopolis

My first introduction to Yellow Magic Orchestra was age 15 when a friend played me the album BGM. I've been hooked every since, and consider them to be true electronic music pioneers. This track written by Ryuchi Sakamoto is a standout for me, and perfectly captures the mid bubble technological excitement of Japan in the late 70's.

5) Herbie Hancock – Nobu

Herbie is without doubt my biggest infuence as a keyboard player, artist and composer. He has always pushed the boundaries with musical experimentation and technology, and this track from the Japanese released 1974 album 'Dedication' is the perfect example. The solo performance features Herbie riffing and improvising on a Fender Rhodes along with a techno arpeggio from one of his Arp synths. It was a big inspiration for my track from 2000 'Fifths'.

6) Steve Reich, Pat Metheny - Electric Counterpoint: I. Fast

I was first exposed to the music of Steve Reich while studying Music A-Level with my teacher at the time Pete Stollery. I don't think it should be underestimated the influence Steve Reich and other minimalists have had on dance music, and this particular track was honoured with its use in The Orb's 1991 ambient house track 'Little Fluffty Clouds'.

7) Alva Noto, Ryuichi Sakamoto - Logic Moon

Alongside Herbie Hancock, Ryuichi Sakamoto is another massive hero of mine who I was lucky enough to meet at Sonar festval in 2018. Sakamoto has collaborated with German born Carsten Nicolai aka Alva Noto on a series of albums which have inspired my own Ayota project. Their tracks generally feature the ambient piano improvisations of Ryuichi combined with the glitchy electronic processing of Carsten.

8) David Sylvian - Red Guitar

David Sylvian, lead singer of the group Japan left in 1982 to pursue a solo career and released his first album in 1984 entitled 'Brilliant Trees'. This track was a top 20 single and features the jazzy piano of Ryuichi Sakamoto and distinctive bassline of Wayne Braithwaite. Check YouTube for some amazing behind the scenes footage of the recording session at Hansa studios in Berlin

https://youtu.be/oMeUO7w3KJU?t=162

9) Jungle Brothers - Straight Out The Jungle

As a teenager the late eighties were an exciting time for me, as both house and hip hop started to explode. Followng the rise of bands like Public Enemy, KRS One and EPMD, the 'Native Tongues' movement brought a new chilled, jazzy sound to hip hop. In this track, the Jungle Brothers use the seductive guitar riff from Mandrill's 'Mango Meat' to produce an all time classic.

10) A Tribe Called Quest - Jazz (We've Got)

Hot on the heals of The JBs came the legendary group 'A Tribe Called Quest' who took jazz vinyl sampling to the next level. This is one of their early tracks and provided an anchor for what was to become the 'Acid Jazz' and Talkin Loud scene.

11) Yusef Lateef - Brother John

My first band 'The K-Creative' were signed to Gilles Peterson's Talkin' Loud label in 1990 off the back of a demo DAT tape passed to him at a gig by a friend of ours. Gilles was always keen to play us tracks from his huge record collection, and this was one that we ended up covering for our first single "To Be Free (Brother John)". It was only later that I realised that Yusef Lateef had been such an influential educator alongside his prolific career as an artist and musician.

12) Weather Report - Non-Stop Home

Weather Report were truly a jazz-fusion supergroup led by keyboard wizard Joe Zawinal and saxophone legend Wayne Shorter. This track is from arguably their funkiest album 'Sweetnighter' and has been sampled in over twenty tracks. One of my favourites is Afronaught's 'Transcend Me'.

13) Joe Henderson - Tress-Cun-Deo-La

For a period of time in the late 90's I was obsessed by two albums from sax player Joe Henderson, namely 'Power to the People' (1969) and 'Multiple' (1973). The first track on Multiple, 'Tress-Cun-Deo-La' featured a very memorable vocal line which I asked my friend and collaborator Valerie Etienne to sing for me. This later developed into a single which was released on Columbia France in 2000.

14) Steely Dan – Aja

After The K-Ceative disbanded in 1992, I joined the group 'Raw Stylus' led by Jules Brookes and Ron Aslan. Up until that point I'd never really dug Steely Dan as I thought they sounded a but too 'clean' and muso. However, whilst on a European tour with Raw Stylus, Jules lent me the Aja album which I listened to on headphones while traveling through the Swiss mountains, and I never looked back. The lead track 'Aja' is possibily one of my favourite tracks of all time, and the drum solo by Steve Gadd never ceases to amaze me.

15) Louis Cole - Freaky Times

The first time I heard of Louis Cole was when my friend Rob Mullarky posted a video of himself practicing the bassline to "Weird part of the night" for a gig he was playing. Louis is a unique talent who is part of an amazing jazz and funk scene in LA involving musicians such as Genevieve Artardi, Jacob Mann and Sam Wilkes. He plays amazing solo shows, one of which I was lucky enough to witness at Kansas Smitty's last year. This track is from his album 'Time' released on Brainfeeder last year.

16) The Police - Voices In My Head

I loved The Police as a child, and their albums still sound fresh to me now. I think they were an example of a band who all stood out as individuals but worked so well together. The combination of Stewart Copeland's incredible drum feel and sound, Andy Summer's jazzy guitar arpeggios and Sting's dubby basslines and songwriting skills make them one of the best pop groups of the eighties. This track is killer and has been sampled many times.

17) Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out

Steppin' Out', written in 1981 by Joe Jackson while he was living in New York could be part of the soundtrack to 'Catcher In the Rye' if the Salinger estate ever allowed the book to be made into a film. The jazzy piano chords written over the Kraftwerky Prophet 5 synth bassline work so well to conjure up the dazzle of neon lights in NYC. It's such a timeless pop song.

18) Joni Mitchell - Harry's House-Centerpiece

This track is from my favourite Joni Mitchell album 'The Hissing of Summer Lawns' and alongside 'Hejira' and the live album 'Shadows and Light' capture the jazzier side of her catalogue. In fact some of Steely Dan associated musicians such as Larry Carlton, Jeff Baxter and Joe Sample all make appearances on the album which gives it a real west-coast laid back sound.

19) Ariel Pink - Mature Themes

I'm a big fan of the comedian Adam Buxton who has a great taste in music, and he once tweeted a live KCRW version of this track a few years ago. I'd never heard of Ariel Pink before but started digging into his previous albums and became a fan. He's a vituoso musician who can write quite complicated compositions alongside simple pop songs like this one. He also manages to stay completely lofi and experimental. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UvB9s5eyB4

20) The Smiths - The Headmaster Ritual

After growing up with a lot of synth pop music in my early teens, The Smiths made me want to give up learning the piano and switch to guitar. Although I liked Morrissey's lyrics, it's Johnny Marr's chords and melodies that really draw me towards the band. It was after seeing Radiohead playing a cover of this particular track on YouTube that I fell in love with it. I heard that Johnny Marr was trying to emulate the chords of Joni Mitchell with this song.

21) Mitski - Two Slow Dancers

I was introduced to Mitski after listening to an episode of the 'Song Exploder' podcast where she discussed her song 'Your Best American Girl'. I love her approach to songwriting and think her voice is sublime. This track is the last track on her most recent album 'Be The Cowboy'. ]]>

He has an Ambient Electronic project called Ayota, and also does a bit of DJing in his spare time. Alongside his production work, Ski holds the position of Head of Education at Point Blank Music School where he writes courses in electronic music for their BA (Hons) degree programmes. He has also made over a hundred videos for the school’s YouTube channel which have racked up over six million views..

"What a challenge to try to define my musical 'DNA' through a two hour selection of tracks! Still, it is a great honour to have been asked, and I have found it to be a very satisfying experience. I hope that the playlist works as an enjoyable listen as well as marking crucial points in the evolution of my musical appreciation. The hardest thing was knowing where to start and choosing what to miss out. I could have included artists such as Howard Jones, Depeche Mode & Tears for Fears who I loved as a teenager for example, but instead I tried to focus on tracks that had the biggest impact on me when I first discovered them and have subsequently become musical reference points for my own compositions.

Looking back at my selection, it seems that the one common thread is Jazz, whether that's Johnny Marr's guitar chords, Larry Heard's synth pads or Ryuichi Sakamoto's piano riffs. Jazz can define an attitude as well as a sound, so maybe this explains my choices. I'd just like to say a massive thanks to all the friends, DJs, podcasters, musicians, producers, colleagues and students who have expanded my musical vocabularly over the years. I am eternally grateful, and I can't wait to hear what's round the corner !" [[ Ski ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Dauwd – What’s There

This immaculately produced future-garage track from Dauwd blew me away when I first heard it on Giles Peterson's radio show in 2012. Dauwd sets the bar extremely high with his precision programming.

2) Lone – Pulsar

I've been a massive fan of Lone since I watched his first Boiler Room set. He manages to create a perfect blend of soulful 90's house with delicate ambient textures. In this track from his 'Ambivert Tools Volume Four EP' I can really hear the influence of 'Papua New Guinea' by Future Sound of London, especially when the breakbeat comes in.

3) Larry Heard - What About This Love?

Larry Heard represents the side of House Music I really love, especially some of his early releases on Gherkin Records. This track from 1989 is sublime, with the trademark jazzy, soulful chords and smooth vocal performed by Larry himself.

4) Yellow Magic Orchestra – Technopolis

My first introduction to Yellow Magic Orchestra was age 15 when a friend played me the album BGM. I've been hooked every since, and consider them to be true electronic music pioneers. This track written by Ryuchi Sakamoto is a standout for me, and perfectly captures the mid bubble technological excitement of Japan in the late 70's.

5) Herbie Hancock – Nobu

Herbie is without doubt my biggest infuence as a keyboard player, artist and composer. He has always pushed the boundaries with musical experimentation and technology, and this track from the Japanese released 1974 album 'Dedication' is the perfect example. The solo performance features Herbie riffing and improvising on a Fender Rhodes along with a techno arpeggio from one of his Arp synths. It was a big inspiration for my track from 2000 'Fifths'.

6) Steve Reich, Pat Metheny - Electric Counterpoint: I. Fast

I was first exposed to the music of Steve Reich while studying Music A-Level with my teacher at the time Pete Stollery. I don't think it should be underestimated the influence Steve Reich and other minimalists have had on dance music, and this particular track was honoured with its use in The Orb's 1991 ambient house track 'Little Fluffty Clouds'.

7) Alva Noto, Ryuichi Sakamoto - Logic Moon

Alongside Herbie Hancock, Ryuichi Sakamoto is another massive hero of mine who I was lucky enough to meet at Sonar festval in 2018. Sakamoto has collaborated with German born Carsten Nicolai aka Alva Noto on a series of albums which have inspired my own Ayota project. Their tracks generally feature the ambient piano improvisations of Ryuichi combined with the glitchy electronic processing of Carsten.

8) David Sylvian - Red Guitar

David Sylvian, lead singer of the group Japan left in 1982 to pursue a solo career and released his first album in 1984 entitled 'Brilliant Trees'. This track was a top 20 single and features the jazzy piano of Ryuichi Sakamoto and distinctive bassline of Wayne Braithwaite. Check YouTube for some amazing behind the scenes footage of the recording session at Hansa studios in Berlin

https://youtu.be/oMeUO7w3KJU?t=162

9) Jungle Brothers - Straight Out The Jungle

As a teenager the late eighties were an exciting time for me, as both house and hip hop started to explode. Followng the rise of bands like Public Enemy, KRS One and EPMD, the 'Native Tongues' movement brought a new chilled, jazzy sound to hip hop. In this track, the Jungle Brothers use the seductive guitar riff from Mandrill's 'Mango Meat' to produce an all time classic.

10) A Tribe Called Quest - Jazz (We've Got)

Hot on the heals of The JBs came the legendary group 'A Tribe Called Quest' who took jazz vinyl sampling to the next level. This is one of their early tracks and provided an anchor for what was to become the 'Acid Jazz' and Talkin Loud scene.

11) Yusef Lateef - Brother John

My first band 'The K-Creative' were signed to Gilles Peterson's Talkin' Loud label in 1990 off the back of a demo DAT tape passed to him at a gig by a friend of ours. Gilles was always keen to play us tracks from his huge record collection, and this was one that we ended up covering for our first single "To Be Free (Brother John)". It was only later that I realised that Yusef Lateef had been such an influential educator alongside his prolific career as an artist and musician.

12) Weather Report - Non-Stop Home

Weather Report were truly a jazz-fusion supergroup led by keyboard wizard Joe Zawinal and saxophone legend Wayne Shorter. This track is from arguably their funkiest album 'Sweetnighter' and has been sampled in over twenty tracks. One of my favourites is Afronaught's 'Transcend Me'.

13) Joe Henderson - Tress-Cun-Deo-La

For a period of time in the late 90's I was obsessed by two albums from sax player Joe Henderson, namely 'Power to the People' (1969) and 'Multiple' (1973). The first track on Multiple, 'Tress-Cun-Deo-La' featured a very memorable vocal line which I asked my friend and collaborator Valerie Etienne to sing for me. This later developed into a single which was released on Columbia France in 2000.

14) Steely Dan – Aja

After The K-Ceative disbanded in 1992, I joined the group 'Raw Stylus' led by Jules Brookes and Ron Aslan. Up until that point I'd never really dug Steely Dan as I thought they sounded a but too 'clean' and muso. However, whilst on a European tour with Raw Stylus, Jules lent me the Aja album which I listened to on headphones while traveling through the Swiss mountains, and I never looked back. The lead track 'Aja' is possibily one of my favourite tracks of all time, and the drum solo by Steve Gadd never ceases to amaze me.

15) Louis Cole - Freaky Times

The first time I heard of Louis Cole was when my friend Rob Mullarky posted a video of himself practicing the bassline to "Weird part of the night" for a gig he was playing. Louis is a unique talent who is part of an amazing jazz and funk scene in LA involving musicians such as Genevieve Artardi, Jacob Mann and Sam Wilkes. He plays amazing solo shows, one of which I was lucky enough to witness at Kansas Smitty's last year. This track is from his album 'Time' released on Brainfeeder last year.

16) The Police - Voices In My Head

I loved The Police as a child, and their albums still sound fresh to me now. I think they were an example of a band who all stood out as individuals but worked so well together. The combination of Stewart Copeland's incredible drum feel and sound, Andy Summer's jazzy guitar arpeggios and Sting's dubby basslines and songwriting skills make them one of the best pop groups of the eighties. This track is killer and has been sampled many times.

17) Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out

Steppin' Out', written in 1981 by Joe Jackson while he was living in New York could be part of the soundtrack to 'Catcher In the Rye' if the Salinger estate ever allowed the book to be made into a film. The jazzy piano chords written over the Kraftwerky Prophet 5 synth bassline work so well to conjure up the dazzle of neon lights in NYC. It's such a timeless pop song.

18) Joni Mitchell - Harry's House-Centerpiece

This track is from my favourite Joni Mitchell album 'The Hissing of Summer Lawns' and alongside 'Hejira' and the live album 'Shadows and Light' capture the jazzier side of her catalogue. In fact some of Steely Dan associated musicians such as Larry Carlton, Jeff Baxter and Joe Sample all make appearances on the album which gives it a real west-coast laid back sound.

19) Ariel Pink - Mature Themes

I'm a big fan of the comedian Adam Buxton who has a great taste in music, and he once tweeted a live KCRW version of this track a few years ago. I'd never heard of Ariel Pink before but started digging into his previous albums and became a fan. He's a vituoso musician who can write quite complicated compositions alongside simple pop songs like this one. He also manages to stay completely lofi and experimental. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UvB9s5eyB4

20) The Smiths - The Headmaster Ritual

After growing up with a lot of synth pop music in my early teens, The Smiths made me want to give up learning the piano and switch to guitar. Although I liked Morrissey's lyrics, it's Johnny Marr's chords and melodies that really draw me towards the band. It was after seeing Radiohead playing a cover of this particular track on YouTube that I fell in love with it. I heard that Johnny Marr was trying to emulate the chords of Joni Mitchell with this song.

21) Mitski - Two Slow Dancers

I was introduced to Mitski after listening to an episode of the 'Song Exploder' podcast where she discussed her song 'Your Best American Girl'. I love her approach to songwriting and think her voice is sublime. This track is the last track on her most recent album 'Be The Cowboy'. ]]> 3947740 no no Sun, 03 Nov 2019 09:55:13 +0100 2019-10-29T18:47:04+01:00 1:59:14 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0604-dusk-dubs-big-mat/

Artist: Big Mat
Title: DD0604
Style: Hip-Hop, Beats, Acid Jazz
Time: Minutes 59
Date: 2019-10-27

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Big Mat to the Dusk Dubs family.

Dusk Dubs first encountered Mat whilst at The Worldwide Festival in Sete back in 2018, where we connected through our joint love of music & mixtapes...

Passionate about music since he was a child, he began his early musical journey by participating with the smooth running of a jazz festival as a volunteer. On many occasions he experienced the sounds of Nina Simone, Claude Nougaro, Bobby McFerrin, MC Solaar, and many many others.

His skill as a player was limited and at 16 years old he decides to buy his first set of turntables.

To begin with, he learns to mix with a bunch of Trance records, ideal due to their tempo, but quickly learns scratching and mixing Hip Hop.

He gives huge thanks to M. Sydney and his show H.I.P.H.O.P, and another cult show in France called RAPLINE hosted by the journalist Olivier Cachin, as they were both a massive influence on Mat.

Co-founder of the www.Lesmixtapesdelapero.com, Big Mat represents the southern branch of the DJ collective. He host’s a Radio show of the same name on Clapas in Montpellier, in which he likes to combine urban sounds, Hip Hop of course but also Funk, Soul and Electro, anything that works on the dancefloor…

His influences are many… from the Old School -Tribe Called Quest, Wu Tang Clan, The Roots, DJ Shadow, Beastie Boys, and also current acts such as Kendrick Lamar, Sampa the Great, Ocean Winsdom, Lady Leshurr, Little Simz and many more.

**Tracklisting**

1) Bobby McFerrin - Cara Mia

This sound reminds me of summer, and the fact that making music can be as simple as a voice, body percussion and lots of sharing.

2) Amerigo Gazaway - To Zion feat. Carlos Santana

This song allows me to present three artists in one: First, Nina Simone, who was not marked by his voice print, his groove and his flow? Me anyway I was touched by his soul jazz soul., Lauryn Hill, his spiritual descent could say ... The Fugees and even his solo album have turned in a loop on my turntables. Finally Amerigo Gazaway, a genius producer, who comes to assemble artists in a subtle way. For me the best bootleg man on the planet, so much so that the artists themselves recognise it. I recommend the Fela Soul album, mixing Fela Kuti and De La Soul.

3) Chill Bump - Eight

This duo formed by MC Miscellaneous and DJ Bankal is a staple of the contemporary French scene. They present a universe of their own, which I loved during our family trips in our van. Always present in my Hip-Hop sets.

4) Diamond And The Psychotic Neurotics - Check One, Two

Diamond did not have the success he deserves. For me, he is one of the best, like Q-Tip or Method Man. More Old School, instrumental licks, with crazy bass lines ... I love it.

5) The Mouse Outfit - 007 feat. Fox, Sparkz, Jman & Tman

I like this group ! The instrumental part is breath-taking. I discovered them during a concert in Montpellier, and this training made me take off from the ground. Brass, rhythm, piano, a see even two DJs, and the icing on the cake, a myriad of rapper all more talented than each other, and this English touch, its the accent that I love!

6) Beastie Boys - Root Down

When Punk meets Hip-Hop, I give you the Beastie Boys! A trio of genius, along with Mix Master Mike and his turntables ... All is said ! Happy listening !

7) MC Solaar - Qui Sème Le Vent Récolte Le Tempo

For me the best lyricist of the French Hip-Hop scene. He knew how to make this musical genre accessible to the general public. He brought Rap to all houses, and suddenly opened the voice to others like Oxmo Puccino, who also has a delicate pen, or Kerry James who uses the platform of Hip-Hop to denounce the inequalities of the disintegrating Europe.

8) Urban Species - The Experience

What a sick album !! Another amazing English band, but without originally knowing it ... There organic touch and the way they combine the sample and the live music is what I love. A positive touch, a unique groove, I start all my Hip Hop sets with this piece...

9) Buckshot LeFonque - Shoot The Piano Player

Acid Jazz, 90's, old school, a musicality, and an amazing groove again. What I like in all music is when it makes you move your body and nod your head and this is the case with Buckshot. In addition, the scratching and bass riff and sax are mesmerising.

10) Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - The Creator

This duo of madness !! Whoever says Hip-Hop isn’t dance music need to check this, their rap with a sustained tempo is one of the keys to Break Dance. I love to play this to dance floors, there’s nothing better than playing a few songs at 115 BPM, and among my favourites is the Creator, again with that groovy bass line, I love it!

11) Us3 - Cantaloop

Another title very Acid Jazz, which rocked my adolescence, and with its radio success we had the opportunity to listen to it, record it on audio tapes and loop it over. Still English, who sign on one of my favourite labels "Ninja Tune" for their first album and then on the jazz reference "BLUE NOTE" for the rest of their career.

12) De La Soul - Buddy (feat. Jungle Brothers, Q-Tip)

For me, the group that made me love Hip Hop, which made me fall in love this culture, and made me follow other bands on this album like the Jungle Brother or the Tribe Called Quest. I love their care-free flow and happy vibe (even if the subjects are not) and they always seem to be enjoying the moment and loving the groove. At that time I was fifteen years old, I had a mini ghettoblaster, my first Nikes, no laces like Run DMC, tabs outside etc ... I loved that stylee ...

13) The Roots - You Got Me ft. Erykah Badu

Still such an amazing live band. The presence of real musicians in a Hip-Hop group is often a guarantee of quality and when Erykah Badu is added to the mix.. chills all over my body ... I swear .. my favourite love song.

14) Supreme NTM - What is Expected

Finally ending up on the French number 1 protest group, more hardcore, more violent in its texts and its attitudes towards the media, this title is a message, even today for all those who feel that the world is not working, and that the revolution is inevitable ...

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Joseph Malik
Title: DD0603
Style: Eclectic
Time: Minutes 128
Date: 2019-10-20

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we have invited back singer, songwriter, producer, DJ and all round musical talent, Mr. Joseph Mailk, and as with all his volumes for Dusk Dubs, Mr Malik has come with something very special….

We’ll let Joseph explain.....

“After the success of Diverse 2, my foot was in the door with Ramrock Records, I brought everyone in for this new album to make not just a record but a message of unity with 3 generations of musicians and bringing in Irvine Welsh, film director John Paul McGroarty and his team of Glena Rome, Alexandra Lort, plus Event Managers, Brendan Denahy, Kyles Dignall. The reason for this was to save and reboot the city's music scene, as our Corrupt Councillor's, joining forces with Property Developers to close down music venues across the city, this is our battle cry, as I could not do this alone.

Many thanks to Danny Walls for helping me record this mix and Irish Adam for helping me write the musical note's for the tracks as he, like the rest of the team shared this journey with me. Last but not least, Jon Brent from Dusk Dubs my music pen pal who over the years making these mixes. He has now become family to me.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Lads and Lassies welcome to Stranger Things Have Happened gwan yer self's... “ [[ Joseph ]]

Out of The Ordinary’s - 'Stranger Things Have Happened' LP is available HERE: https://ramrock.bandcamp.com/album/rrrlp002-out-of-the-ordinary-stranger-things-have-happened-lp

**Tracklisting**

1) The Steven Christie Experience - Revolution

This is the First track on the East Coast Project from 1994. Stevie Keys is one of my best friends and the main reason why I'm a singer. He has stood by me through the good times and the bad. When I had nowhere to stay he was there for me at the drop of a hat. The iconic hook in this track has become the stuff of legend and stands as a representation of the soul of this beloved city.

2) Callum Easter - Tell E’m Boy

One of the many to be watched young turks of Edinburgh’s music family. Callum captures the sound of Leith perfectly, much like we do on the latest album. That Auld Neu Reekie noir feel of Edinburgh’s alleyways and cobblestones stirs and conjures up the ghosts. He reminds me of Brian Wilson, along with his friends the celebrated “Young Fathers” . More about them later.

3) Jefferson Airplane - Today Grace (Slick Edit)

We used the Tom Scott Version on our Meadows release. The sheer joy of getting the go ahead from these 60's legends to use their inspired hook is an honour. I’ll never forget the genesis of this song. My eyelids creaked open to the simple beauty and sounds of Edinburgh’s Meadows where I had spent another night without a roof over my head. The melody came to me from a lucid dream. I’m thrilled that I got Rosanne Erskine to be a part of this.

4) Van Morrison - TB sheets

I became aware of this song through my mentor, Professor Plastic. I then gave the record to the biggest Van the man fan, best pal and my son's godfather, Irish Adam. This track is the main influence on Adams track, “Bowling up the Walk”. I’ll let Adam explain… “Van the man, the number one East Belfast Troubadour, provided the sound track to, and an explanation for, my ‘colourful’ life of late nights on the brandy and weekend benders in the marksman. Many thanks to the Prof, thanks for all the soul and wisdom brother’

5) Dorothy Ashby - The Moving Finger

So we’re getting on to the Irish man's tracks, this one being the backing track for “The Ballad of Kenny Buchanan”. Adam and myself were on a jaunt in old Leith to see a show and decided to nip into the Central Bar (at the foot of the walk), where we bumped into Kenny Buchanan himself. me and Adam bought him a pint and before we could utter a word, he said “come on lads, don’t ask me about boxing”. Taking the hint, Adam asked, “Did you ever met George Best?” He put his hands on our shoulders and whispered “Aye lads, it came to him too soon”. We sat down with him for an hour and we were blown away with his stories. I felt like a kid, absolutely humbled and in awe of this gracious man, five times World Champion. We finished our drinks, hugged and said goodbye before jumping in a taxi back home. For hours we talked about the tale of two former champs meeting for a pint in the Artisan Bar and Lounge in Abbey Hill, hence naming the track “The Ballad of Kenny Buchanan”. We sat up all night with a bottle of brandy and by morning, we had our track. We called in Steven Christie on Hammond and Wurlitzer, piano and accordion, plus Chris Greive on Trombone and David ‘Chimp’ Robertson on percussion. Both of Adam's tracks, “Bowling up the Walk” and “The Ballad of Kenny Buchanan”, were recorded on the same day, at Sliver Back Lodge Studio. Our Adam was pretty taken aback that these world class musicians came in to play. This is the standard of the music expected…. Silver Back motto#

‘Bleatus Non Pal’

6) LKJ - Dread Beat an’ Blood

The master, the provider, the unifier, the divider, the seer, the poet. Sharp in every sense. First heard this as a 16 year scallywag escapee from Belfast in a squat in Cold Harbour Lane in 1986 and I heard a voice speaking to me, LKJ, a distant music familiar, a scared kid found a friend. The Jamacian cadences of this Reggae Poet are as well cut as his clobber. Without this originator no way I’d be doing this bolloxs. Me and Joe had the honour of hearing the top man in person at this year’s Edinburgh book festival. Thanks LKJ. Come on in….

7) The Nairboi Sisters - Promised Land

Damn that bassline. I first became aware of the sample from a Q-Tip tune “Whatever will be”. I wanted to go deep with this one, even going to the extent of recreating the whole track at Rusty’s Yard Studio along with Stevie Keys, Paulo Riddle on percussion, Chris Greive on ‘Bone and Kris Howden on Fender Bass. It felt like Lee Perry himself was with us in the studio. We did two versions. One being Strictly Dub wise and the other turned into “Kind of Strange” by bringing in Rosanne Erskine again on vocals plus Philly, more about him later. Saleem took care of the production and last but not least, Vic Galloway on electric guitar. What had started life as a dub track had now morphed into an entirely different animal...

8) Seun Kuti with Tidiane Seck, Newen Afro Beat Group - Opposite People

I have to give thanks to our main percussion player, Paulo, for this track. this band are from Chile as is Paulo. My father is from Nigeria so it’s a great link with 2 nations making music. As soon as I heard this I wanted that energy in the track we were recording Uptown Bridges. We had about 14 players on the track and Paulo got me into to see Femi Kuti and I got to speak to him. I didn’t have the chance to see his Father Fela Kuti when he was alive, but his offspring are following the righteous path he laid down. This changed my life, not just musically. Brother Paulo took me in when I was sleeping ruff. His mom would cook for me and feed me. Paulo became family to me and he let me know I wasn’t alone. This song is a bridge with both cultures. Nigeria meets Chile uptown.

9) The Chimes - Underestimate

A true land-mark soul record from Edinburgh! This was out at the same time as Soul 2 Soul’s “Back to Life” (produced by Edinburgh’s own James Locke; aka the Cod Man, With Pauline Henry’s amazing vocal’s this track gave me the inspiration that soul music could be made here in Scotland. A benchmark. Respected around the world .It made a 20 year old Joseph think, “yeah, soul music can come out of Scotland”. I had the honour of meeting Mr. Locke in person when I moved east from Glasgow to Edinburgh as I was friends with his wife. We recorded Crack Pipe at his Easter Road studio and Philly and Aqua Bassino.also recorded there and Sadly the studio is no more there but fortunately, my Uncle Rusty Burn and my Auntie Fiona now my have studio just next door which is where we recorded “Take a Left”, and “Lost Not Found” for Diverse 2 plus the “Stranger Things” LP.

10) Joe Smooth - Promised Land

This track will always be in my heart and soul as a 14 year old kid dancing in the Sub club where I worked as flyer boy for Slam, I was there in the late 80s and the Hacienda as well. with Club king Colin Barr, I seen first hand the transformation of football thugs taking Ecstasy and dancing to black dance music. It was fucking tuff, as guys who called me nigger one day, then the next hugging me saying sorry wee man, then even days later, making a point to cross the street to shake my hand and again say to me I really mean it... Joseph I'm done with race hate shite, as this new music Revolution and getting high was better, than fighting and in Glasgow I saw both Rangers and Celtic casual's hug on the dance floor.

When you have the likes of Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Darrel Pandy, Ten City etc in the club, then fighting takes a back seat as music overcomes hate, I grew up in Clubland and learned a lot about how the dancer feels when making music, which I still use to this day. ,this song is for Melanie Huges my 1st true love back in the 80’s as we danced and kissed black and white on the dance floor of the Sub Club.

11) Movers International - Critical Point (Dusk Dubs VIP Mix)

I find it better to smile and not get upset, when I get dissed by younger DJs who say I cant do house or techno, I was part of that movement back in the 1980’s before they were born and I have the records to prove it, and it was great to meet DJ Lee Marvin who got me back into djing again as I had not played in years due to being a chef, Lee introduced me to Jimmy Jammin and Gavin Fort, Movers International or as I call them the young team. We bonded in the studio and by me bringing in musician's to make the balance of electronic more organic we recorded a few tracks, there's so many Version's of this track and I got signed to Ramrock and promised I would get there 1st 12 inch record out and that is now going to happen along with an Ashley Beedle remix due out later this year, these young men worked really hard to raise them self's to the level I require as a writer and producer, and it’s now time to play these tracks we recorded almost 3 years ago now, live with there electronic side meeting my live band sounds, and this track folks is an exclusive for my music brother Jon Brent you will only find this here on Dusk Dubs.

12) Ege Bam Yasi - Acid Boy Intro

The Godfather of Acid music lives in Edinburgh and an even bigger Recluse than me, he was a former punk who switched guitar for keyboards it’s strange because I've never met him.

13) The Complainers - Bacon Rolls

The Firecracker Records team, aka house of traps Label Boss Lindsay Todd and Nick Moore also known as Linkwood taking the piss out them selves you can hear the bacon in the frying pan ,and them trying to hold in their laughter ,I love this so much ,with the line “That’s going out # perfect #” and the clever play on The Proclaimers... the city's foremost band, I should send Graig and Charlie a copy of this one day ..

14) Out of the Ordinary – Ain't No Fool For Love (Trendy Wendy Revenge Dub)

Well I've told this story so many times but here we go again (yawn Irish Adam).... I had just finished DJing in The Basement and we headed across Broughton Street to our longtime friend's club in The Street for a wee night cap drink before home. Trendy Wendy has been running gay / mixed nights for decades, so I stash my record bag behind the decks and she says “do you want to jump on the decks to give me a break”, I said “aye no worries”. I play some house and funk....it bombs, the floor clears - I had to use some of her disco to get folks dancing again. It was true lesson that night,And Wendy told me Joe you are super cool but go and just go and make something for a Saturday night eh”, so I went away and wrote, planned, and recorded this track and went back and smashed it in her club, the crowd were trying to shazam the track on their mobiles and I got my revenge saying it ain’t out yet. I'd never made disco, but with my own take on it. This 50 year old music snob learned a lot from her advice and the amazing crowd who dance with joy and I still pop in from time to time to try out new tracks, Wendy my sister I love you and this track is for you.

15) Johnny Hammond - Los Conquistadores Chocolates

I’ve sampled the intro from this for years, but never the main break. It’s like house music from 1975 and a killer break. I would play this out a lot back in the 90's at club Lizzard Lounge which was started by me and Toby Shippey. I would use 2 copies to extend the hype sections, 2 years ago I heard Black Madonna sample that section I was like damn I'm going to write a song over that.

6) Steven Jesse Bernstein - No No Man

The man who hitchhiked from the scene of his own death. I clocked him on the District Line a few years ago. Either he is still alive or the tube has stopped. Makes Burroughs look like a lightweight. Sub Pop rock.

17) Public Enemy - Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos

I’ll let Irish Adam explain; The hard rhymer cuts through the bollox with razor sharp precision. Every word hits home. They played the Liquid rooms in Edinburgh a few years ago, Mr Flav was strolling up to his tour bus (driven by top lad Manc Bob), and this is how it went down……

Me: "He’s the flavour, the life saviour, coming at you with the funky fresh rhymes’ (I know…)"
Me: “Where are you playing next mate?”
FF “Belfast”
Me: "Alright you are staying at my Ma’s house. Shoes off and behave yourselves alright? You’ll be alright if you can play the piano …...thank fuck they didn’t rock up to Sandy Row".

18) Fini Tribe - The Theme 1998 Peel Session

Davie Miller is a true legend and Pioneer of Electronic music going way back to the early 80's. I searched for a long time through their back catalogue to find the right track for the mix and I'm glad I picked the Peel session track. That's now 2nd on this mix, much like Ege Bam Yasi, punks turning to electronic music. As Edinburgh has a long history of these musical mutations i.e. The Fire Engines, Josef K and Boots for Dancing, inspired LCD Sound system and Franz Ferdinand. I did some hardcore research for this mixtape as I wanted to celebrate the full spectrum of Scottish based music.

19) The Alex Harvey Band - Faith Healer

Growing up in Glasgow in the 1970's, this track was played a lot in my uncle's bedroom, he was a huge fan. I hated it, as i was a ska and soul boy, but in my 30's I heard this again and fell in love with it as I went through my rock phase. A legend and sadly missed who made his mark on the pavements of Sauchiehull St.

20) Iggy Pop - I’m So Alone

I’ve added this track for my friend Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting. As we all know he is a huge fan of Iggy. So much so, he made sure that his music was in the soundtrack to the film. This brought Mr Pop to a whole new generation of music lovers. You have no idea what it was like to get Irvine's written forward for the Inner sleeve of my new album and he is a major backer of the new cultural movement we are all part of.. “Out Of the Ordinary”.

“Joseph Malik is one of the most versatile and talented musicians in Scotland, he has always aimed big and I believe that he has produced something special to call it an aural expose of Edinburgh is selling it short” [[ Irvine Welsh ]]

21) Linkwood - Hear the sun

So many folks will now know Linkwood's track, “Miles Away” (firecracker records). With myself on vocals and Colin Steele on Trumpet. this went on to become one of Moodyman’s favorite all-time tracks. This also became one of mine. I simply adore this and am extremely proud to add this to the Scottish based Mixtape you are listening to. The production and the Firecracker record label family really took what we began and raised the level tenfold. As the senior producer looking on, I’m deeply proud of the next generation.

22) The Blue Nile - Tinseltown in the Rain

One of the most iconic tracks on this mix is a song about Glasgow, yet recorded in Edinburgh. much like me, a child and Man of both cities. If I had to choose, I’d pick Edinburgh but enough about me. Paul Buchanan and Robert Bell created a classic record in the 1980's that still holds up today. I still play this out with deep pride of our nation’s legacy of good music.

23) Edwyn Collins - You Never Know

I’m such a huge fan of Edwyn. I met him once and, like a total fan-boy I didn’t know what to say. I have been lucky enough to meet and work in the studio with Malcolm Ross, Scotland's best guitar player and former member of Orange Juice, who played the iconic guitar riff on the classic, “Rip it up and start again”which we all love. Malcolm worked on the new album with me and we’re doing some gigs this year with his new band, The “Bum Clocks”.

24) Philly - Dig a Hole

I’ve known Philly for years and he has one of the best voices in the city. This record was produced by James Locke from the Chimes and I love how rustic it feels. It reminds me of Beck, who we are both big fans of. Just wait till you hear the new Leith group,” Checkmasses”, featuring Philly, Saleem aka Sound Signals and BBC Scotland's champion of music, Vic Galloway. Coming out 2020!

25) Jock Scott - A Certain Beauty

Another legend sadly lost. I’ve added this track for the Leith All stars - post punks, Tam Dean Burn, Steven Christie, Rusty Burn and Malcolm Ross. Spoken word is pretty big in Edinburgh, I think due to just how many Books have come out of the city. We here tend to take the piss out of ourselves a lot, so we never become big headed. Our feet are always on the ground, that is a very Leith Way of life and became the foundations for “Stranger Things Have Happened” I used the blueprint, passed to me by my music elders whom I respect deeply.

26) Young Fathers - I Heard

Even with all their success, “Young Fathers” came to the aid of the “Save Leith Walk” campaign, where the group still have their studio and share with my Arranger, Chris Greive and his wife Becc Sanderson in Leith. With their high profile, It got national attention, and myself and Irvine Welsh came up with the idea with the foreword to attack the forces that are killing our community. I’m just so damn proud of Young Fathers and I’m not just saying that because Kayus Bankole is my cousin, but because they have built their own sound and that's so hard to do in music these days.

27) Traffic - 4000 Thousand Headmen

This was in my head a lot during the making of this album. Mainly because it captures nature within sound. I love the dark hippy feel to this song and myself and Irish Adam are huge Traffic fans, for me mainly due to Stevie Winwood's voice. It’s just unreal the way he sings. Which leads us perfectly into my next selection.

28) Davey Henderson and Nectarine N0 9 # - These Days (1994 Peel Session)

I still have a good cry to this record from time to time. Again I’m so lucky that I got to meet and work with this true legend and one of the finest songwriters to come out of Scotland. I knew his voice would be perfect for Meadows and I was like a wee kid, totally star struck in Rusty's studio. Much like meeting Edywn Collins, I wanted to ask him so many questions, but my mind was blank for once. Not many folk know this, but Nico from the Velvet Underground lived in Edinburgh for a while, and this cover is one of my all time favorites.

29) Aqua Bassino and Steven Christie - Moon light

There was only one way to end this mixtape and it was always going to be this. Stevie keys and Jay Roberstson aka Bassino, boyhood pals from Leith who grew up together in music and who also became very close to me. I look over the city at night and this tune always starts to resonate in my head. Even walking the streets when I was sleeping rough, I heard this and cried my eyes out. The haunting piano riff and Bassino's voice are truly inspired. My brothers, I love you both, with all my heart and soul… This ones for you!]]>

I'd never made disco, but with my own take on it. This 50 year old music snob learned a lot from her advice and the amazing crowd who dance with joy and I still pop in from time to time to try out new tracks, Wendy my sister I love you and this track is for you.

15) Johnny Hammond - Los Conquistadores Chocolates

I’ve sampled the intro from this for years, but never the main break. It’s like house music from 1975 and a killer break. I would play this out a lot back in the 90's at club Lizzard Lounge which was started by me and Toby Shippey. I would use 2 copies to extend the hype sections, 2 years ago I heard Black Madonna sample that section I was like damn I'm going to write a song over that.

6) Steven Jesse Bernstein - No No Man

The man who hitchhiked from the scene of his own death. I clocked him on the District Line a few years ago. Either he is still alive or the tube has stopped. Makes Burroughs look like a lightweight. Sub Pop rock.

17) Public Enemy - Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos

I’ll let Irish Adam explain; The hard rhymer cuts through the bollox with razor sharp precision. Every word hits home. They played the Liquid rooms in Edinburgh a few years ago, Mr Flav was strolling up to his tour bus (driven by top lad Manc Bob), and this is how it went down……

Me: "He’s the flavour, the life saviour, coming at you with the funky fresh rhymes’ (I know…)"
Me: “Where are you playing next mate?”
FF “Belfast”
Me: "Alright you are staying at my Ma’s house. Shoes off and behave yourselves alright? You’ll be alright if you can play the piano …...thank fuck they didn’t rock up to Sandy Row".

18) Fini Tribe - The Theme 1998 Peel Session

Davie Miller is a true legend and Pioneer of Electronic music going way back to the early 80's. I searched for a long time through their back catalogue to find the right track for the mix and I'm glad I picked the Peel session track. That's now 2nd on this mix, much like Ege Bam Yasi, punks turning to electronic music. As Edinburgh has a long history of these musical mutations i.e. The Fire Engines, Josef K and Boots for Dancing, inspired LCD Sound system and Franz Ferdinand. I did some hardcore research for this mixtape as I wanted to celebrate the full spectrum of Scottish based music.

19) The Alex Harvey Band - Faith Healer

Growing up in Glasgow in the 1970's, this track was played a lot in my uncle's bedroom, he was a huge fan. I hated it, as i was a ska and soul boy, but in my 30's I heard this again and fell in love with it as I went through my rock phase. A legend and sadly missed who made his mark on the pavements of Sauchiehull St.

20) Iggy Pop - I’m So Alone

I’ve added this track for my friend Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting. As we all know he is a huge fan of Iggy. So much so, he made sure that his music was in the soundtrack to the film. This brought Mr Pop to a whole new generation of music lovers. You have no idea what it was like to get Irvine's written forward for the Inner sleeve of my new album and he is a major backer of the new cultural movement we are all part of.. “Out Of the Ordinary”.

“Joseph Malik is one of the most versatile and talented musicians in Scotland, he has always aimed big and I believe that he has produced something special to call it an aural expose of Edinburgh is selling it short” [[ Irvine Welsh ]]

21) Linkwood - Hear the sun

So many folks will now know Linkwood's track, “Miles Away” (firecracker records). With myself on vocals and Colin Steele on Trumpet. this went on to become one of Moodyman’s favorite all-time tracks. This also became one of mine. I simply adore this and am extremely proud to add this to the Scottish based Mixtape you are listening to. The production and the Firecracker record label family really took what we began and raised the level tenfold. As the senior producer looking on, I’m deeply proud of the next generation.

22) The Blue Nile - Tinseltown in the Rain

One of the most iconic tracks on this mix is a song about Glasgow, yet recorded in Edinburgh. much like me, a child and Man of both cities. If I had to choose, I’d pick Edinburgh but enough about me. Paul Buchanan and Robert Bell created a classic record in the 1980's that still holds up today. I still play this out with deep pride of our nation’s legacy of good music.

23) Edwyn Collins - You Never Know

I’m such a huge fan of Edwyn. I met him once and, like a total fan-boy I didn’t know what to say. I have been lucky enough to meet and work in the studio with Malcolm Ross, Scotland's best guitar player and former member of Orange Juice, who played the iconic guitar riff on the classic, “Rip it up and start again”which we all love. Malcolm worked on the new album with me and we’re doing some gigs this year with his new band, The “Bum Clocks”.

24) Philly - Dig a Hole

I’ve known Philly for years and he has one of the best voices in the city. This record was produced by James Locke from the Chimes and I love how rustic it feels. It reminds me of Beck, who we are both big fans of. Just wait till you hear the new Leith group,” Checkmasses”, featuring Philly, Saleem aka Sound Signals and BBC Scotland's champion of music, Vic Galloway. Coming out 2020!

25) Jock Scott - A Certain Beauty

Another legend sadly lost. I’ve added this track for the Leith All stars - post punks, Tam Dean Burn, Steven Christie, Rusty Burn and Malcolm Ross. Spoken word is pretty big in Edinburgh, I think due to just how many Books have come out of the city. We here tend to take the piss out of ourselves a lot, so we never become big headed. Our feet are always on the ground, that is a very Leith Way of life and became the foundations for “Stranger Things Have Happened” I used the blueprint, passed to me by my music elders whom I respect deeply.

26) Young Fathers - I Heard

Even with all their success, “Young Fathers” came to the aid of the “Save Leith Walk” campaign, where the group still have their studio and share with my Arranger, Chris Greive and his wife Becc Sanderson in Leith. With their high profile, It got national attention, and myself and Irvine Welsh came up with the idea with the foreword to attack the forces that are killing our community. I’m just so damn proud of Young Fathers and I’m not just saying that because Kayus Bankole is my cousin, but because they have built their own sound and that's so hard to do in music these days.

27) Traffic - 4000 Thousand Headmen

This was in my head a lot during the making of this album. Mainly because it captures nature within sound. I love the dark hippy feel to this song and myself and Irish Adam are huge Traffic fans, for me mainly due to Stevie Winwood's voice. It’s just unreal the way he sings. Which leads us perfectly into my next selection.

28) Davey Henderson and Nectarine N0 9 # - These Days (1994 Peel Session)

I still have a good cry to this record from time to time. Again I’m so lucky that I got to meet and work with this true legend and one of the finest songwriters to come out of Scotland. I knew his voice would be perfect for Meadows and I was like a wee kid, totally star struck in Rusty's studio. Much like meeting Edywn Collins, I wanted to ask him so many questions, but my mind was blank for once. Not many folk know this, but Nico from the Velvet Underground lived in Edinburgh for a while, and this cover is one of my all time favorites.

29) Aqua Bassino and Steven Christie - Moon light

There was only one way to end this mixtape and it was always going to be this. Stevie keys and Jay Roberstson aka Bassino, boyhood pals from Leith who grew up together in music and who also became very close to me. I look over the city at night and this tune always starts to resonate in my head. Even walking the streets when I was sleeping rough, I heard this and cried my eyes out. The haunting piano riff and Bassino's voice are truly inspired. My brothers, I love you both, with all my heart and soul… This ones for you!]]> 3873353 no no Sun, 20 Oct 2019 09:46:46 +0200 2019-10-20T09:46:46+02:00 2:08:05 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/harmonic-sessions-012/

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Bigga Bush
Title: DD0602
Style: Eclectic
Time: Minutes 95
Date: 2019-10-13

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Bigga Bush to the Dusk Dubs family....

Glyn "Bigga" Bush is an independent producer and DJ based in Dorset, England. He was half of Rockers Hi Fi for most of the 90s before striking out on his own and recording various albums and remixes as Bigga Bush and Lightning Head.

He continues to make music as Bigga Bush and MDO (Magic Drum Orchestra) on both his own Lion Head imprint and Tru Thoughts, as well as releases on Munich label Schamoni.

"Coming out of a long period of being totally immersed in library music from the 1970s it has been really nice to dig out some tunes with a particular vibe in mind ....­late afternoon/early evening going into the small hours. I’ve kept it fairly chilled, but inevitably it goes off at some tangents as is my particular bent. Hope you enjoy it."

**Tracklisting**

1) Vladimir Cosma - Promenade Sentimentale (from Diva OST)

Back in the 80s I had a dream job which not only gave me free access to a recording studio - I could also get free tickets to film screenings. I distinctly remember watching Diva on a rainy Tuesday afternoon and being blown away by the sheer Frenchness of it, it was really like nothing I’d ever seen before. This also sounds like Erik Satie which is fine by me.

2) Faust - Das Meer (alternative)

Faust became well-known amongst the long-haired record buying fraternity of the mid 70s for releasing an album (The Faust Tapes) for the price of a 7” single: 49 pence. (One of Richard Branson’s early marketing wheezes and look where it got him.) Of course I snapped it up and thoroughly devoured it and have been a fan of their crazy grooves with power tool solos and wonderful tape cut-ups ever since. This is them in a more pastoral mood.

3) Norma Tanega - Beautiful Things

I first saw Norma Tanega on an Arena documentary about the 1966 scene in London. There she was in black and white grooving on a Gibson SG and looking impossibly cool in huge earrings and a big smile as she sang “You’re Dead”. Turns out she was in a relationship with Dusty Springfield in the 60s....Anyway I stumbled across her second album (incl. this track) in a mad record warehouse in the Forest of Dean a few months back. It’s not quite up to Walking My Cat Named Dog’s best track “A Street That Rhymes” but well worth a listen.

4) Paddy McAloon - Desire As (acoustic version)

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout was a massive record for me in the 80s, well-worn on C90, so I was excited to hear that Paddy McAloon was releasing an acoustic version. Top notch songwriting, brilliant lyrics, still gives me goosebumps.

5) Sapien - Gato de Oro (High Moon mix by Rockers Hi Fi)

This was for some reason the first track that came to mind when I started to compile this set, probably due to the sense of atmosphere, evening, a feeling of dust, sunset, tolling bells etc. Looking back this was the first Rockers remix where we really went to town and let our imaginations run wild, spaghetti-western stylee. I think we’d also just discovered Kruder & Dorfmeister (see below).

6) Dolphin Boy - On the Ceiling

This one takes me back to the days of the Big Chill, especially the one on Naxos in 2002 which was both an amazing family holiday with my partner and kids and a top top party. Playing to people lounging round a perfect turquoise swimming pool drinking iced cocktails...living the dream!

7) Kruder & Dorfmeister - Deep Shit Parts 1&2

This was the first K&D track I ever heard, on my very first trip to San Francisco in 1994. I was super-excited to be in the US, we’d just signed to Island Records and everyone was buzzing. Imagine our delight to learn that they’d written a track called Original Bedroom Rockers.

8) Ma Dukes Orchestra - Hoc N Pucky
9) Ma Dukes Orchestra - Take Notice

A few years ago a friend sat me down to watch the video of the full Suite For Ma Dukes concert - Miguel Atwood-Ferguson’s arrangements of Dilla tunes played by a huge orchestra. It is no exaggeration to say it was life-changing. To watch him grooving as he conducts on Youtube is to see someone fully engaged and in love with what he is doing.

10) Abstract Orchestra - Meat Grinder

...and then along came the Abstract Orchestra with their live take on Madvillainy (the Doom/Madlib version definitely being one of my desert island discs). Fantastic stuff. This has the additional reference point of featuring a replayed sample of “Sleeping In A Jar” from the Mothers of Invention’s “We’re Only In It For the Money” which I bought in Memory Lane in Northampton in the mid 70s. My first and possibly favourite Zappa album.

11) Eric Lau - Dedication A, B & C

I’m including this as a short-hand reference to John Peel - massively influential in my formative days plus all the sounds come direct from his record collection (on the Nothing Leaves the Archive EP on First Word Records). Here the abstract beats intersect with jazz samples and set us up nicely for....

12) Tom Trago - Fluorgreen Legged Gangster

I often seem to find that I discover a later “form” of music and then trace it back to the originator; whether it’s a sample on a track that leads me back to the source record or a development in style that points me back in time to where it came from. This track comes from Beat Dimensions on Rush Hour Records and brings back a lot of happy head-nodding memories of evenings in, tripped out instrumental hip hop with a distinctly wonky vibe. Much later I properly got into Madlib and then even later than that Dilla - from whence this stuff really originates.

13) Madlib - The Mystery (Dilla’s Still Here)

So here are a couple of Madlib tracks to just ram him the point; this one a typical collage of spoken word samples and his trademark phat soupy beats, followed by...

14) Madlib - Step Into Tomorrow

From the “... Invades Blue Note” set, his take on Donald Byrd which illustrates how Madlib really gets inside a sample and makes the source material his own.

15) Kraftwerk - Expo 2000

Again with a catalogue like theirs where do you start? This was the first record of theirs I picked up after they re-emerged from the years they spent digitising their entire analogue output (or something) and I just love the way the sound is absolutely perfect and at the same time chilled.

16) Broadcast - Dave’s Dream

Another huge area of music that I have listened to obsessively but can’t really cover here. This is a nod to the stranger end of stuff I dig plus it has some nice library-ish elements (don’t get me started...)

17) Basil Kirchin - Heart of the North

Basil’s music always feels strangely familiar to me even when I’ve never heard it before so I have a theory that it must have been on some early TV shows I saw as a child and was forever imprinted on my psyche. This also has the bonus factoid of being the most expensive record I’d ever bought at the time.

18) Deradoorian - Weed Jam

In my peak Stereolab-sessive days I watched a long and rather dull Youtube interview with Laetitia Sadier (she wasn’t dull but the questions were) in which she namechecked Angel Deradoorian who was doing some gigs with her. I followed this up and found the only two Deradoorian releases which showcase her incredible voice and penchant for minimal beats and Hofner violin bass (also played by Robbie Shakespeare as well as obscure Liverpudlian moptop Paul McCartney).

19) Primal Scream - JU87

How to represent dub in the short time remaining? Well Adrian Sherwood is at the controls and he makes the Scream sound as good as anything that ever came out of Brixton or indeed Kingston so he has my vote....plus he produced (when he was 19 or something) the incredible Cry Tuff Dub Encounter Chapter 3 which is essential dub listening.

20) Round Five - Na Fe Throw It featuring Paul St. Hilaire

...better known as Rhythm & Sound featuring Tikiman, the deepest darkest dub out of Berlin without it ever feeling anything but warm and natural. I particularly love the way this sounds like they’ve literally recorded a noisy phaser pedal onto a track of its own]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome, Music Producer, Graphic Designer, DJ and Vinyl Collector DJ Food aka Strictly Kev, as we ask him to delve into his exhaustive record racks, and present an 'Influences 1989-2019' selection...

Strictly Kev has been involved with the multi-producer DJ Food project on Ninja Tune for over 25 years, being the sole remaining member for over 15. He's DJ'ed the world over with Food originators Coldcut and PC as well as performing 4 deck Audio Visual sets with Solid Steel radio main man DK.

From 1995’s 'Recipe For Disaster' onwards, he's mixed 100s of hours of audio for compilations (Including Coldcut's Journey's By DJ mix), radio and the web using his 30+ years of experience and vast record collection. Re-scoring The Monkees’ cult classic film ‘Head’ on turntables or inviting Paul Morley to narrate a history of cut and paste music on his ‘Raiding the 20th Century’ mix are just two examples of personal projects he created during the 00s.

An avid collector of records, comics, toys, original art, music memorabilia and vintage sci-fi books, he's been in the enviable position of scouring the Sesame Workshop archives in New York for an aborted mix album and being one of the only people invited to dig through Trevor Horn’s master tape collection for reissue material on the ZTT label.

In tandem he has enjoyed a career as chief designer for Ninja Tune since the early 90's, running parallel with his music making. In 2010 he was responsible for the entire look and design of the Ninja Tune XX campaign and releases that celebrated 20 years of the label.

His last album, 2012’s ‘The Search Engine’, featured JG Thirlwell (Foetus), The The’s Matt Johnson and Natural Self across several vocal cuts. The launch party was conducted in the London Planetarium with a 50-minute 360 degree full dome visual showcase made by Kev in conjunction with their astronomers.

In recent years he's written articles for The Quietus, Shindig!, Dust & Grooves and Rough Trade's 40th book and frequently documents his collecting finds on his djfood.org site. At home with vinyl, digital or audio-visual content, he's a member of the 45Live DJ crew and contributes to the 'Out Of The Wood' radio show collective. A champion of the leftfield with a love of sci-fi, collage and psychedelia, he continues to look for new ways to present music and image outside the normal conventions of clubland with his new audio-visual night, Further...

"*A few years ago, I did a mix for the Dust & Grooves website that charted inspirations from my teenage years up to around '92/93. When Dusk Dubs asked would I like to compile an unmixed 'All Back To Mine vs Desert Island Discs' selection I took it as a chance to continue where the D&G mix left off.

Backtracking slightly, it includes the late 80s and takes us through roughly another 20 year stretch of influential favourites from the 90's and 00s. I wanted to include something by Frank Zappa / Mothers of Invention, Autechre and Herbie Hancock but this was just holding up the whole thing as there’s just too much to choose from. It's interesting (for me) to note that there is hardly anything here from the last decade save for two tracks. Certainly not for want of new music, maybe the tidal wave of media means less sticks these days or maybe more time needs to pass before a song can make this kind of list?

Maybe less seems revolutionary the older we get as we've heard so much before? Maybe I should attempt a list exclusively from the last 15 years next time...*" [[ Kev ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) DJ Shadow - ‘Changeling’ from Endtroducing (Mo Wax)
Still Shadow’s masterpiece IMO, incredible choice of samples, time signatures and that breakdown in the middle where everything goes out the window but pulls back for the final section. Timeless.

2) Cut Chemist - Lesson Six (The Lecture) (A Stable Sound)

A masterclass in sampling that breathed new life into the cut up with its playful swing, truly deserved of the title ‘Lesson’. Infused with the humour of the original trilogy but taking it somewhere new at the same time.

3) Belbury Poly - ‘The People’ from The Owl’s Map (Ghost Box)

Jim Jupp & Julian House’s Ghost box label has been a constant inspiration for the last decade and this track for (I think) the second Belbury Poly album has always given me tingles. The perfect balance between beauty and creepy.

4) The Advisory Circle - ‘Osprey’ from Mind How You Go or ‘Sundial’ from Other Channels (Ghost Box)

John Brooks’ output is extraordinary, he manages so much and rarely seems to repeat himself whilst keeping a subtle signature sound in everything he does. These tracks perfectly capture those nature documentary soundtracks or summer nostalgia recollections he’s become known for.

5) Playgroup - ‘Number One’ (Source)

Trevor Jackson’s work is always interesting and worth investigating, both musically and graphically. His Playgroup LP was defiantly 80’s-centric when such a thing was still largely a dirty word associated with dayglo leg warmers and PWL pop pap. People forget that the 80s weren’t always considered so cool, I once did an 80s-themed mix in the late 90s containing groups like Art of Noise and Sigue Sigue Sputnik and it was considered a bit too uncool for Solid Steel. It’s hard to pick a favourite but the unashamed electro pop of the single, complete with break-dancing robot video is as good as any.

6) Eno - ‘Third Uncle’ from Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) LP (Island)

Eno single-handedly anticipated post punk by 5 years in this track. There’s so much Eno to choose from but this one doesn’t get enough props, usually I would have gone for anything from My Life In The Bush of Ghosts.

7) LCD Soundsystem - ‘Losing My Edge’ (Output/DFA)

As first singles go, this is a hard one to beat and they could have been a novelty one-hit wonder with this, although ‘Beat Connection’ on the B side showed they had plenty more ideas up their sleeve. The rest they wore proudly outside for everyone to hear and the roll call at the end would signpost many stops on the band’s career over the next decade. This one spoke to me quite directly though, being of a similar age to James Murphy at the time and feeling the first pull of ‘the kids, coming up from behind’.

8) Andy Votel - ‘Return of The Spooky Driver’ (Twisted Nerve)

Another graphic artist/music maker/DJ who I’ve long admired, this was a fun little 7” that has that fast/slow/loud/soft thing going on throughout. I don’t know if it’s his best but it’s the one I remember most.

9) Stereolab - Ping Pong (Duophonic UHF Discs)

The first song that caught my attention from the ‘lab, before this they always seemed like a regular indie band with interesting titles and sleeves. Something changed with Mars Audiac Quintet, maybe it was the psychedelic modular on the cover or the retro-futuristic video but the ‘dum dum dum, de dum…’ section as the end is one of the sexiest vocals ever.

10) Depth Charge - Depth Charge (Vinyl Solution)

J Saul Kane’s input into dance music can’t be underestimated, from his blueprint for trip hop outings under the Depth Charge name to his electro offerings as Octagon Man and the Vinyl Solution/DC Recordings labels. I first heard this on a tape in the summer of ’89, that huge beat drop and the submarine pings were like nothing else, a pioneer for sure. He was well known for sampling large chunks of dialogue from obscure kung fu, horror, western and porn films and some of his early tracks were played on 45 in clubs to speed them up into fast breakbeat tunes alongside acid and early rave. He briefly got his due in the mid-90s when he collected the early Depth Charge singles on the Nine Deadly Venoms LP but seems to have disappeared over the last decade. Special mention must also go to close associate Eon aka Ian B (RIP) who Kane worked with on various projects and shared his love of sampling film dialogue on his early singles.

11) Shamen - ‘Phorward’ from Phorward (Moksha Recordings)

A bona fide acid classic in my house, this is right at the point where they were crossing from indie to dance, pre-‘En-tact’ and when Will Sinnott was still alive. I often wonder how things would have sounded with him around, would we have ever got Ebeneezer Goode? We’ll never know but this has all that late 80s wide-eyed LSD rush to it, complete with Timothy Leary and acid test samples.

12) Black Dog - ‘Hub’ from the Vanttool EP (General Production Recordings)

This track will forever remind me of evenings round at Mixmaster Morris’ Camberwell flat in the early 90s where he would play the contents of his current record box and my sponge-like brain would soak it all in. He’s known for his ambient DJ sets and records but he championed what would become known as ‘intelligent techno’ with just as much fervour back in the day from The Black Dog, B12, Aphex Twin, As One, the Evolution label, Carl Craig and more German producers than I can remember.

13) Photek - ‘K.J.Z.’ from the Hidden Camera EP (Science)

Photek always stood out from his DnB contemporaries but with this release he broke the mould and stepped into his own corner, no longer constrained by the needs of the dance floor. Search out any of his mid 90s releases and you’re in for a treat with layer upon layer to absorb. This track could strangely feel at home in the main room or the chill out room. Apparently, legend has it that ‘K.J.Z.’ stands for ‘Kirk Jazz’ after Kirk Degiorgio hipped Photek to a load of jazz as sample fodder.

14) Boards of Canada - Everything you do is a Balloon’ from the Hi Scores EP (Skam)

I first became aware of BoC through the Skam label, who I was occasionally designing for, it arrived in the post like all their other releases, very little info, odd name, very odd music. That quickly wormed its way into my head and has never left, every Boards record is something special, but this was my first. Like any early recorded output, this sees the duo finding their musical voice and several styles wouldn’t be heard of again but this one contains the essence of their forthcoming Music Has The Right To Children era.

15) Wagon Christ - ‘Throbbing Pouch’ from Throbbing Pouch (Rising High)

A seminal album where Luke Vibert seemingly found the first of his many voices and, with his trademark humour, lolloped through a whole album of easy listening beats and breaks just as the trip hop genre was forming.

16) Paul Weller - ‘Kosmos’ (Brendan Lynch Bonus Beats remix) (Go! Discs)

In my book, this is trip hop. Brendan Lynch takes Weller’s original and dubs the hell out of it, warping it into new forms with little regard for the original. I’m a huge fan of dub FX (much more than the music it gets its name from), when a producer has the skills and balls to twist a song inside out. This is a great example of that and a decent song from Weller.

17) Oasis - ‘Falling Down’ (Amorphous Androgynous - A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Mix) (Big Brother)

Possibly a contentious opinion but I always thought Oasis got more interesting at the end of their run. Working with Julian House on artwork and videos and letting the Amorphous Androgynous loose on their final single, ‘Falling Down’. In the same way that Coldcut re-invented the remix with their Eric B & Rakim ‘Paid In Full’ mix, AA re-invent it again here with a truly psychedelic, 22 minute, 5 chapter rework that takes the original and then presents multiple readings of it before finishing in a flutter of cawing crows and a child reading the lyrics.

18) Fridge - ‘Ark’ from Eph (Go! Beat)

Much like Stereolab, this is where it all came into focus for Fridge for me, maybe it was the sampling aspect that Kieran Hebden was experimenting with under his Four Tet pseudonym at the time, but this record has a mood that isn’t present on their other albums.

19) Meat Beat Manifesto vs Terry Riley - In C (version #3) (Electronic Sound)

Originally remixed for a performance of Riley’s In C, Jack Dangers went back to his version and created another three for the premiere release of Electronic Sound magazine’s vinyl imprint. He twists and turns it inside out, adding juddering dubstep beats at one point but for me it’s the final ambient version that really takes me away. I could have chosen so much from the MBM back catalogue and I think Dangers is one of the most underrated artists out there. His trio of mid 90s albums ’Satyricon’ / ‘Subliminal Sandwich’ and ‘Actual Sounds & Voices’ (plus their accompanying single & remixes) are incredible documents of sampling production and song writing. Up there with any of the acknowledged pioneers of the field, in fact in some cases, Jack did things years ahead of the pack, many a time I’ve found an incredible oddball 60s album, packed full of samples and recognised something from it, ‘oh, Jack’s already been here’.

20) King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - The Wheel from ‘Gumboot Soup’ (Flightless)

It’s hard to pick one King Gizzard track as this whole playlist could be made up of selections from their rapidly-expanding discography. Not since Mr Bungle has a band so effortlessly hopped from genre to genre so successfully, often within one album, sometimes within one song. There’s plenty to choose from and I wanted to pick something from their prog masterpiece ‘Polygondwanaland’ but extracting one track doesn’t quite work as it flows as a whole, this goes for most of their albums of late too. As a constantly evolving band they never sit still for long, never rest on laurels and are seemingly overflowing with musical ideas as well as ways to present themselves. They’ll be headlining festivals within years and will no doubt be seen as the Hawkwind or Led Zeppelin of this age in decades to come. I’ve plumped for ‘The Wheel’, the closing track from ‘Gumboot Soup’ as this was essentially a compilation of offcuts from the other four (!) LPs they released in 2017. A beautiful meditation on the wheel of life, the track speeds up at the end and, on the vinyl version, settles into a lock groove that loops forever.

Cheers

Podcast: Dusk Dubs

Title: DD0552
Style: Eclectic
Time: Minutes 152
Date: 2019-03-24

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This Sunday we close out our 5th year of Sunday Mixtapes and invite one of Scotland's seminal producers, one half of Sound Signals.... Mr. Saleem Andrew McGroarty, with a selection of musical inspirations and influences - the building blocks of his musical DNA.

"This is a selection of my Musical Inspirations and Influences, the building blocks of my Musical DNA.This selection is not just my favourite songs that I will listen regularly or will listen to lift or change my mood, but also the music that has had a deep impact on me, changed the way that I hear music, the way that I approach creating music and that changed me spiritually, for what is music if it is not an expression of the Soul?

Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secrets of life, bringing peace, abolishing strife." – Khalil Gibran.

I hope that you enjoy my selection".... [[ SALEEM ]]

**Tracklisting**

Okay, so this playlist quickly became a huge amount of tracks to have to choose from. In order to stick to the remit of it representing my musical DNA, my musical roots I ended up having to choose more from the songs that had the greatest influence on me in my formative years. As you will hear there is a common theme, that of wisdom, understanding, seeking and exploring, love and positivity. I hope you enjoy it!

1) Alive - Skindo Le Le

This song is to me everything a song should be. Positive lyrics, happy music, great arrangement and a great up tempo rhythm that ends in a crescendo. Great dance music! This is a song I put on when i want to lift my spirits

2) Kurtis Blow - If I Ruled The World

This is where the journey started! This is the first single, I ever bought. I remember going off from my parents upstairs to the Music dept in John Menzies on princess Street with a little bit of pocket money and buying this single. And I still have it somewhere, great tune!

3) The Last Poets - E Pluribus Unum

The Last Poets have been an incredible influence on me, especially being into Hip Hop, anybody who knows them will understand why. There are many songs i could have chosen, but this song in particular always reminds me of a good friend who passed away a few years ago Mr. Paul Reekie. This is a tune that we shared. He would often come up to me club and start rapping the lyrics to this song in my ear! He was a poet and a musician as well as a writer, he is sorely missed.

4) Rammelzee vs. K-Rob - Beat Bop

I remember first hearing this song, in the movie Style Wars. And ever since then, I've absolutely played it to death, it's one of those tunes you never get bored of. Produced by Jean Michel Basquiat, it features Rammelzee, one of the most eccentric graffiti writers, who was also a great rapper as. If you listen close you will hear where B-Real from Cypress Hill got his rapping style from. Amazing track and yeah one of the most down tempo and musical Hip Hop tunes ever!

5) Bobby Womack - How Could You Break My Heart

So, in my teens, I attended a club in Edinburgh called The Hooch. It was one of the greatest musical educations I ever received. The club scene in the late 80s was that Golden time where there was no genre division. You would find house music played next to hip hop played along next to jazz next to Latin and soul. But the last half hour was always the modern soul set. Modern soul has had one of the deepest and lasting impacts on my life. Aged 16 I used to go to the Blackpool soul weekenders and regularly go to soul all nighters and all-dayers, I don’t know why my parents let me do that! But, yeah, it's just wonderful music, always such a positive vibe and always good for a wee boogie!

6) Starvue - Body Fusion

So, in the same modern soul vain, this is a mid tempo number which just has amazing production, strings, vocals, everything about it is just perfect. Lush and sweet soul music.

7) LJ Reynolds - Key To The World

More modern soul. One of my favorite songs. Just a great vocal performance and wonderful production. Absolute classic!

8) Eric Morris & The Baba Brooks Band - Solomon A Gundy

To me, Ska is the greatest dance music, ever! This track in particular one of my own personal favorites. Mainly because of the lyrics! If you can't dance to Ska music, then I think maybe something seriously wrong with you lol!

9) The Temptations - Ball Of Confusion (That's What The World Is Today)

My parents had a Temptations Greatest Hits album. It used to get played all the time when we were kids. So when I grew up I inherited this album from my mum’s albums. When i listened to it I was amazed not only by the music that people like Public Enemy had sampled from it. But I was amazed by the lyrical content as well. Ball of confusion is a song that is just as relevant now as it was when it was first recorded. Conscious Soul Music.

10) The Electric Prunes - Holy Are You

This is a slightly later DNA track but i feit it should be included it in this playlist. Over 20 years i converted to Islam and musically this track really conveys my own spiritual sentiments. Produced by David Axelrod it has banging drums, amazing production, a Hip Hop prototype with a spiritual message.

11) John Coltrane - Acknowledgement

A Love Supreme. One of the greatest Jazz songs of all time. This is arguably John Coltrane's greatest recording and is his ode to the Divine. I discovered this album when I was fairly young, and it changed everything for me. Such an emotionally rich song, it is one of my Desert Island Discs. I never get bored of it and it always has a spiritual effect within me when i listen to it.

12) Pharoah Sanders - Astral Travelling

My introduction to spiritual jazz before I knew it was called spiritual jazz was a compilation album called Red Hot and Cool, and even to this day, and is one of the best compilations of in the spiritual jazz vein. This song astral travelling was on rotation for so long! I would listen to again and again. It has such an mystical sound scape that totally consumes you. As a result, i became a massive Pharoah Sanders fan and collector, so many other songs could have been included in this playlist, especially The Creator has a Master Plan, but this song is probably the song that I have listened to most so that is why i chose it.

13) Schoolly D - P.S.K. (What Does It Mean)

When I was at high school, I was given a tape of the first Big Audio Dynamite dynamite album by my friend Diarmid and i immediately loved it. Even though B.A.D. didn't make it into the playlist, their influence was huge. In 1986 at the tender tender age of 14 i went to see went B.A.D. at the Edinburgh Playhouse and supporting them was the beat boxer Sipho from the London Posse and also the rapper Schooly D from America. That gig changed my entire life. I was blown away! Here's this guy, jumping around the stage with a gold chain no top and just baseball jacket with his DJ scratching records with his Fila trainers! I love the sound, and everything about that performance. I went out the very next day and bought the first Schooly D album and became a fully fledged hip-hop addict!

14) MC Mello - A Total Eclipse Of The Art

This song is by one of the UK's finest MCs. His first album, was a classic and listened to it over and over. It represents the best of UK hip hop.

15) Eric B. & Rakim - Move The Crowd

Rakim is my favorite rapper. He's one of the best lyricists and musically he was always ahead of the game. This song in particular was one of the first places that I ever heard the word Allah, and was to become an influence on my own spiritual journey. Great track, arguably the great emcee, classic material!

16) Public Enemy - Rebel Without A Pause

When Public Enemy released Rebel Without a Pause it changed everything! The Sonic imprint left on me remains to this day. That booming 808 and relentless sax loop, the raw powerful energy and Chuck D's attitude, perfect for a teenager!by all that energy. I remember buying this 12 inch and playing it over and over and over and over. Public Enemy and the Bomb Squads production, truly changed hip-hop forever.

17) Stone Roses - Fool's Gold

Running alongside all of this music of black origin is also my love for indie, folk and rock music. The Stone Roses were just one of those bands that came out at the right place and right time, everything about them was just amazing, great songs, great arrangements, great sound and vibe. I listened to that 1st album sooo much!

18) The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

Before I discovered hip-hop. I would listen to the john peel show all the time, and he had a very eclectic taste in music. The Smiths were a band that i discovered through him and for me they were just the greatest band! Morrissey's lyrics and Johnny Marrs music was just the perfect match and can't be matched, everything they did was simply brilliant!

19) Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit

So, the psychedelic 60s has also been a massive musical influence. I spent much of my teenage years listening to Woodstock Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and all that goos stuff. I'm not sure you could find a better song that represents the sound of the psychedelic movement that came out of America in the late 60s than "White Rabbit" total classic!

20) Nick Drake - River Man

The first time I ever heard Nick Drake i was left speechless, it completely blew me away. Not only was it amazing guitar playing, mystical songwriting and his wonderous voice, but the strings! Wow! What a full, warm, inviting, lucious wall of sound.

21) Fairport Convention - Who Knows Where the Time Goes

This is a song that i would like played at my funeral. Such ancient wisdom and understanding pulses through the veins of this song. Don't let time get the better of you. And Sandy Denny's voice is simply enchanting, absolutely wondrous!

22) Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Qawwal & Party - Allah Hu (Live at Washington University)

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, what an incredible musician, a musical saint. To me Qawalli music is possibly the highest form of music in existence. Because it is devotional it has no ego involved the songs are offered up as prayers to the Divine. I remember first getting a tape of this album by Nusrat live in Washington it came at a time when I was exploring my own spirituality. It was the first time I heard islamic devotional music and the insight that it gave me is that one could be Islamic, and a musician.

I remember just constantly listening to it and getting lost in the vocal performance, the improvisation is on another level, the sophistication of the composition and interaction between the members of the troupe is out of this world.

The version included in this playlist is an edited version of the original 16 minute performance which would have been difficult to include, but I urge the listeners check out the full performance.

23) Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda - Journey To Satchidananda

At about the same i was listening to Nusrat i bought the Red, Hot & Cool compilation previously mentioned. On it was this track by Alice Coltrane. After buying that compilation i became a huge Alice Coltrane fan! Her music is sublime. Being the wife of John Coltrane obviously had an influence on her, but she was an amazing spiritual jazz musician in her own right and was also very spiritual being as well. This song was and is still on regular rotation and is really just so incredibly beautiful

24) Build an Ark - Peace With Every Step

This song is a later entry into the musical DNA. For me the lyrics really conveys a message of how I aspire to be as a human being. Written Carlos Nino, to the music of Stanley Cowell and sung by one of the greatest jazz singers alive, Dwight Trible. This is a song that i listen to when i need to re-centre, and remember where i need to be.

25) Stevie Wonder - Have A Talk With God

It would not be a proper DNA playlist without a bit of Stevie! Another album that was played a lot in our house when we were kids was "Songs in the Key of Life" In fact, the copy that I still play to this day is my mums. There are many songs I could have chosen from this album, but this one just seemed the right one for this playlist.

26) Ken McIntyre - Mercedes

This song, a later DNA entry, features John Mancebo Lewis on trombone, otherwise known as Hajj Haroon. A remarkable man, he was somebody who became a very close personal friend and mentor of mine. Without his guidance and encouragement i would not be the person I am today. I've included this song as a dedication to his life as he sadly passed away last year, may peace and blessings be with him. If you would like to know more about him please visit his website: http://mancebomosaic.com/

27) Lonnie Liston Smith - Expansions

I first heard Expansions, as the Bass line and the Stetsasonic song "Talking all that Jazz". It such a timeless tune, a Jazz-Funk Classic. It used to get regular play a club that I used to DJ at called "Chocolate City" Edinburgh's first funk club run by Jamie Byng, now of canongate press fame. After I discovered this Lonnie album I again became a total fan, buying all of his albums I could. I could have easily have chosen any song from any other album to showcase how great a musician he is, but this sound lyrically represents not only a theme in this playlist but also the theme that has ran throughout my life "Expand your mind, To understand, We all must live,

In peace together." Spiritual Dance Music!

28) Stetsasonic - Talkin' All That Jazz

Hip Hop has been the strongest form of music in my life and this song lyrically represents so much of hip hop culture, just listen to the lyrics and it will give you an understanding hip hop culture. It is conscious hip hop, my most favourite aspect of the genre. This used to get played this all the time in the clubs such a great song to dance to such a great song to rap lyrics along to, it's one of those tunes that brings folk together

29) A Tribe Called Quest - Lyrics To Go

A DNA playlist would not be complete without a song from A Tribe Called Quest Sonically, musically, vibes wise they are my favorite hip hop group.When their first album came out, it was a game changer. Nobody was doing music quite like it. Even though the Jungle Brothers had started the Native Tongues that Tribe were part of (the Jungle Brothers could have easily been on this DNA playlist) when A Tribe Called Quest released their first album the musical landscape, language and idiom of hip hop changed for the better and it has never been the same since. I could have easily have chosen any song from any of the album, but this one for me just now is where i'm at today, it may be something else tomorrow. I love the clever use of the Minnie Ripperton sample, innovative, as the Tribe are!

30) Terry Callier - Ordinary Joe

I first heard Terry Callier at the Hooch club, hey used to play Ordinary Joe all the time. He's been part of that modern soul scene for years. I then discovered all of his early cadet albums. Again here is an artist who took his spiritual and life experience and wove it into his songs in a way where it makes you reflect on your won life and your own place in the Universe and find your place. I went to see him perform live in London, and twice in Scotland. I even had the blessings of me and him twice as well. What a beautiful man, beautiful music.

31) Donny Hathaway - Somebody We'll All Be Free

This is one of those great songs with a great message to the world, it is almost bigger than itself. What an amazing singer Donny was, and such a tragedy he is no longer with us. For me, he has the best voice in soul music by far. Again, once I discovered him I went out and bought all of his albums, they are all so good! But this song says everything that needs to be said. I have played this song to my children as some kind of attempt to help them have wisdom and guidance in the form of a song. I think all Dad's should play this song to their kids!

32) Beloyd - Get Into Your Life

So, the last song on this playlist is just like the first song in the playlist. This modern soul song represents to me everything that I could song should be, positive, optimistic, full of life, love, wisdom and understanding and something you can dance to! It was one of the most popular songs in the soul clubs when I was a teenager it was always a highlight when it came on and it always leaves you feeling positive and ready to take life on. To this day it is still one of the most popular songs on the modern soul scene, it has become a timeless classic, yeah, what a great uplifting message "get into your life"!!!

Ok, so, I hope you have enjoyed my selection, thank you for your time, peace and blessings to you all.]]>

Time: Minutes 152
Date: 2019-03-24

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This Sunday we close out our 5th year of Sunday Mixtapes and invite one of Scotland's seminal producers, one half of Sound Signals.... Mr. Saleem Andrew McGroarty, with a selection of musical inspirations and influences - the building blocks of his musical DNA.

"This is a selection of my Musical Inspirations and Influences, the building blocks of my Musical DNA.This selection is not just my favourite songs that I will listen regularly or will listen to lift or change my mood, but also the music that has had a deep impact on me, changed the way that I hear music, the way that I approach creating music and that changed me spiritually, for what is music if it is not an expression of the Soul?

Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secrets of life, bringing peace, abolishing strife." – Khalil Gibran.

I hope that you enjoy my selection".... [[ SALEEM ]]

**Tracklisting**

Okay, so this playlist quickly became a huge amount of tracks to have to choose from. In order to stick to the remit of it representing my musical DNA, my musical roots I ended up having to choose more from the songs that had the greatest influence on me in my formative years. As you will hear there is a common theme, that of wisdom, understanding, seeking and exploring, love and positivity. I hope you enjoy it!

1) Alive - Skindo Le Le

This song is to me everything a song should be. Positive lyrics, happy music, great arrangement and a great up tempo rhythm that ends in a crescendo. Great dance music! This is a song I put on when i want to lift my spirits

2) Kurtis Blow - If I Ruled The World

This is where the journey started! This is the first single, I ever bought. I remember going off from my parents upstairs to the Music dept in John Menzies on princess Street with a little bit of pocket money and buying this single. And I still have it somewhere, great tune!

3) The Last Poets - E Pluribus Unum

The Last Poets have been an incredible influence on me, especially being into Hip Hop, anybody who knows them will understand why. There are many songs i could have chosen, but this song in particular always reminds me of a good friend who passed away a few years ago Mr. Paul Reekie. This is a tune that we shared. He would often come up to me club and start rapping the lyrics to this song in my ear! He was a poet and a musician as well as a writer, he is sorely missed.

4) Rammelzee vs. K-Rob - Beat Bop

I remember first hearing this song, in the movie Style Wars. And ever since then, I've absolutely played it to death, it's one of those tunes you never get bored of. Produced by Jean Michel Basquiat, it features Rammelzee, one of the most eccentric graffiti writers, who was also a great rapper as. If you listen close you will hear where B-Real from Cypress Hill got his rapping style from. Amazing track and yeah one of the most down tempo and musical Hip Hop tunes ever!

5) Bobby Womack - How Could You Break My Heart

So, in my teens, I attended a club in Edinburgh called The Hooch. It was one of the greatest musical educations I ever received. The club scene in the late 80s was that Golden time where there was no genre division. You would find house music played next to hip hop played along next to jazz next to Latin and soul. But the last half hour was always the modern soul set. Modern soul has had one of the deepest and lasting impacts on my life. Aged 16 I used to go to the Blackpool soul weekenders and regularly go to soul all nighters and all-dayers, I don’t know why my parents let me do that! But, yeah, it's just wonderful music, always such a positive vibe and always good for a wee boogie!

6) Starvue - Body Fusion

So, in the same modern soul vain, this is a mid tempo number which just has amazing production, strings, vocals, everything about it is just perfect. Lush and sweet soul music.

7) LJ Reynolds - Key To The World

More modern soul. One of my favorite songs. Just a great vocal performance and wonderful production. Absolute classic!

8) Eric Morris & The Baba Brooks Band - Solomon A Gundy

To me, Ska is the greatest dance music, ever! This track in particular one of my own personal favorites. Mainly because of the lyrics! If you can't dance to Ska music, then I think maybe something seriously wrong with you lol!

9) The Temptations - Ball Of Confusion (That's What The World Is Today)

My parents had a Temptations Greatest Hits album. It used to get played all the time when we were kids. So when I grew up I inherited this album from my mum’s albums. When i listened to it I was amazed not only by the music that people like Public Enemy had sampled from it. But I was amazed by the lyrical content as well. Ball of confusion is a song that is just as relevant now as it was when it was first recorded. Conscious Soul Music.

10) The Electric Prunes - Holy Are You

This is a slightly later DNA track but i feit it should be included it in this playlist. Over 20 years i converted to Islam and musically this track really conveys my own spiritual sentiments. Produced by David Axelrod it has banging drums, amazing production, a Hip Hop prototype with a spiritual message.

11) John Coltrane - Acknowledgement

A Love Supreme. One of the greatest Jazz songs of all time. This is arguably John Coltrane's greatest recording and is his ode to the Divine. I discovered this album when I was fairly young, and it changed everything for me. Such an emotionally rich song, it is one of my Desert Island Discs. I never get bored of it and it always has a spiritual effect within me when i listen to it.

12) Pharoah Sanders - Astral Travelling

My introduction to spiritual jazz before I knew it was called spiritual jazz was a compilation album called Red Hot and Cool, and even to this day, and is one of the best compilations of in the spiritual jazz vein. This song astral travelling was on rotation for so long! I would listen to again and again. It has such an mystical sound scape that totally consumes you. As a result, i became a massive Pharoah Sanders fan and collector, so many other songs could have been included in this playlist, especially The Creator has a Master Plan, but this song is probably the song that I have listened to most so that is why i chose it.

13) Schoolly D - P.S.K. (What Does It Mean)

When I was at high school, I was given a tape of the first Big Audio Dynamite dynamite album by my friend Diarmid and i immediately loved it. Even though B.A.D. didn't make it into the playlist, their influence was huge. In 1986 at the tender tender age of 14 i went to see went B.A.D. at the Edinburgh Playhouse and supporting them was the beat boxer Sipho from the London Posse and also the rapper Schooly D from America. That gig changed my entire life. I was blown away! Here's this guy, jumping around the stage with a gold chain no top and just baseball jacket with his DJ scratching records with his Fila trainers! I love the sound, and everything about that performance. I went out the very next day and bought the first Schooly D album and became a fully fledged hip-hop addict!

14) MC Mello - A Total Eclipse Of The Art

This song is by one of the UK's finest MCs. His first album, was a classic and listened to it over and over. It represents the best of UK hip hop.

15) Eric B. & Rakim - Move The Crowd

Rakim is my favorite rapper. He's one of the best lyricists and musically he was always ahead of the game. This song in particular was one of the first places that I ever heard the word Allah, and was to become an influence on my own spiritual journey. Great track, arguably the great emcee, classic material!

16) Public Enemy - Rebel Without A Pause

When Public Enemy released Rebel Without a Pause it changed everything! The Sonic imprint left on me remains to this day. That booming 808 and relentless sax loop, the raw powerful energy and Chuck D's attitude, perfect for a teenager!by all that energy. I remember buying this 12 inch and playing it over and over and over and over. Public Enemy and the Bomb Squads production, truly changed hip-hop forever.

17) Stone Roses - Fool's Gold

Running alongside all of this music of black origin is also my love for indie, folk and rock music. The Stone Roses were just one of those bands that came out at the right place and right time, everything about them was just amazing, great songs, great arrangements, great sound and vibe. I listened to that 1st album sooo much!

18) The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

Before I discovered hip-hop. I would listen to the john peel show all the time, and he had a very eclectic taste in music. The Smiths were a band that i discovered through him and for me they were just the greatest band! Morrissey's lyrics and Johnny Marrs music was just the perfect match and can't be matched, everything they did was simply brilliant!

19) Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit

So, the psychedelic 60s has also been a massive musical influence. I spent much of my teenage years listening to Woodstock Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and all that goos stuff. I'm not sure you could find a better song that represents the sound of the psychedelic movement that came out of America in the late 60s than "White Rabbit" total classic!

20) Nick Drake - River Man

The first time I ever heard Nick Drake i was left speechless, it completely blew me away. Not only was it amazing guitar playing, mystical songwriting and his wonderous voice, but the strings! Wow! What a full, warm, inviting, lucious wall of sound.

21) Fairport Convention - Who Knows Where the Time Goes

This is a song that i would like played at my funeral. Such ancient wisdom and understanding pulses through the veins of this song. Don't let time get the better of you. And Sandy Denny's voice is simply enchanting, absolutely wondrous!

22) Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Qawwal & Party - Allah Hu (Live at Washington University)

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, what an incredible musician, a musical saint. To me Qawalli music is possibly the highest form of music in existence. Because it is devotional it has no ego involved the songs are offered up as prayers to the Divine. I remember first getting a tape of this album by Nusrat live in Washington it came at a time when I was exploring my own spirituality. It was the first time I heard islamic devotional music and the insight that it gave me is that one could be Islamic, and a musician.

I remember just constantly listening to it and getting lost in the vocal performance, the improvisation is on another level, the sophistication of the composition and interaction between the members of the troupe is out of this world.

The version included in this playlist is an edited version of the original 16 minute performance which would have been difficult to include, but I urge the listeners check out the full performance.

23) Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda - Journey To Satchidananda

At about the same i was listening to Nusrat i bought the Red, Hot & Cool compilation previously mentioned. On it was this track by Alice Coltrane. After buying that compilation i became a huge Alice Coltrane fan! Her music is sublime. Being the wife of John Coltrane obviously had an influence on her, but she was an amazing spiritual jazz musician in her own right and was also very spiritual being as well. This song was and is still on regular rotation and is really just so incredibly beautiful

24) Build an Ark - Peace With Every Step

This song is a later entry into the musical DNA. For me the lyrics really conveys a message of how I aspire to be as a human being. Written Carlos Nino, to the music of Stanley Cowell and sung by one of the greatest jazz singers alive, Dwight Trible. This is a song that i listen to when i need to re-centre, and remember where i need to be.

25) Stevie Wonder - Have A Talk With God

It would not be a proper DNA playlist without a bit of Stevie! Another album that was played a lot in our house when we were kids was "Songs in the Key of Life" In fact, the copy that I still play to this day is my mums. There are many songs I could have chosen from this album, but this one just seemed the right one for this playlist.

26) Ken McIntyre - Mercedes

This song, a later DNA entry, features John Mancebo Lewis on trombone, otherwise known as Hajj Haroon. A remarkable man, he was somebody who became a very close personal friend and mentor of mine. Without his guidance and encouragement i would not be the person I am today. I've included this song as a dedication to his life as he sadly passed away last year, may peace and blessings be with him. If you would like to know more about him please visit his website: http://mancebomosaic.com/

27) Lonnie Liston Smith - Expansions

I first heard Expansions, as the Bass line and the Stetsasonic song "Talking all that Jazz". It such a timeless tune, a Jazz-Funk Classic. It used to get regular play a club that I used to DJ at called "Chocolate City" Edinburgh's first funk club run by Jamie Byng, now of canongate press fame. After I discovered this Lonnie album I again became a total fan, buying all of his albums I could. I could have easily have chosen any song from any other album to showcase how great a musician he is, but this sound lyrically represents not only a theme in this playlist but also the theme that has ran throughout my life "Expand your mind, To understand, We all must live,

In peace together." Spiritual Dance Music!

28) Stetsasonic - Talkin' All That Jazz

Hip Hop has been the strongest form of music in my life and this song lyrically represents so much of hip hop culture, just listen to the lyrics and it will give you an understanding hip hop culture. It is conscious hip hop, my most favourite aspect of the genre. This used to get played this all the time in the clubs such a great song to dance to such a great song to rap lyrics along to, it's one of those tunes that brings folk together

29) A Tribe Called Quest - Lyrics To Go

A DNA playlist would not be complete without a song from A Tribe Called Quest Sonically, musically, vibes wise they are my favorite hip hop group.When their first album came out, it was a game changer. Nobody was doing music quite like it. Even though the Jungle Brothers had started the Native Tongues that Tribe were part of (the Jungle Brothers could have easily been on this DNA playlist) when A Tribe Called Quest released their first album the musical landscape, language and idiom of hip hop changed for the better and it has never been the same since. I could have easily have chosen any song from any of the album, but this one for me just now is where i'm at today, it may be something else tomorrow. I love the clever use of the Minnie Ripperton sample, innovative, as the Tribe are!

30) Terry Callier - Ordinary Joe

I first heard Terry Callier at the Hooch club, hey used to play Ordinary Joe all the time. He's been part of that modern soul scene for years. I then discovered all of his early cadet albums. Again here is an artist who took his spiritual and life experience and wove it into his songs in a way where it makes you reflect on your won life and your own place in the Universe and find your place. I went to see him perform live in London, and twice in Scotland. I even had the blessings of me and him twice as well. What a beautiful man, beautiful music.

31) Donny Hathaway - Somebody We'll All Be Free

This is one of those great songs with a great message to the world, it is almost bigger than itself. What an amazing singer Donny was, and such a tragedy he is no longer with us. For me, he has the best voice in soul music by far. Again, once I discovered him I went out and bought all of his albums, they are all so good! But this song says everything that needs to be said. I have played this song to my children as some kind of attempt to help them have wisdom and guidance in the form of a song. I think all Dad's should play this song to their kids!

32) Beloyd - Get Into Your Life

So, the last song on this playlist is just like the first song in the playlist. This modern soul song represents to me everything that I could song should be, positive, optimistic, full of life, love, wisdom and understanding and something you can dance to! It was one of the most popular songs in the soul clubs when I was a teenager it was always a highlight when it came on and it always leaves you feeling positive and ready to take life on.

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Murf
Title: DD0551
Style: Jazz, Acid, House, Techno, Soul
Time: Minutes 82
Date: 2019-03-10

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Murf to the Dusk Dubs family.... a selector who has been involved in pretty much every aspect of music you can think of.... DJ, producer, promoter, record shop owner, A&R, lecturer, author and of course vinyl junkie.

“When I was first asked to compile my selection for Dusk Dubs, I thought ‘Cool!’ that shouldn’t take me too long! Then I checked out the website, and was blown away by the musical content... I was especially drawn to a few of my peers within the DJ community... for me it was like looking into a mirror, and seeing a shared love for many great tracks, several I had short-listed for my initial 12!

Unfortunately life has a way of chewing into one’s time, and Dusk Dubs has been patiently waiting, and waiting, and waiting, but finally I have found some time to present a few nuggets that I hope please music fans, no matter your preferred tastes...

As a vinyl junkie, I've been an ambassador for electronic music during a hedonistic 30 year career as a DJ at seminal clubs and events worldwide...

I've promoted, sold, recorded, lectured, played, collected, reviewed and breathed music since the age of 13, recorded numerous mix CD's both here in Europe and Asia including the first CD for Eukahouse's "Tech House Phenomena" series, and worked pushing huge amounts of Vinyl at numerous record stores over the years -Groove, Zoom, Koobla, Silverfish (pre-Eukatech Records), Instant Quality aka I.Q. Records and Covert Records (Brighton)...

After taking a long needed sabbatical (2001-2009) from the DJ circuit, where I ended my long standing resident slots at Edinburgh's Subtle Logic, and The End's flagship party Subterrain -where myself and Mr.C's now infamous 4hr sessions were witnessed every month until late 1999 -I've been busy twiddling knobs, trying to write a book, studying, got married, bought & sold a few houses, had two beautiful lil’ boys and made myself a family man!

For the last few years, I've been laying low working on various projects -building a new studio, writing some very deeeep shit, flying around the globe doing my thing, and now I'm in the process of setting up a very exciting new label...

I've been letting my record box get the better of me of late and started playing out with Vinyl again (there's soooo much good music out there!)... I have come to regard myself as a serious music collector, who has acquired an immense record collection through the years, both as a club and radio DJ, and I've been lucky enough to travel all over the globe meeting some amazing friends and like-minded people who share my knowledge, passion, respect and love for good music!

Some highlights: Berlin's Love Parade, Tribal Gathering, Club F.B. (Toyko), Final Frontier @ Club UK, Club Rockets (Osaka), tons of BEDLAM - yes I'm that Murf - Spiral Tribe parties, Subterrain, Wiggle, Key-Energy, Castlemorten (Where's Reggie gone?), Eurobeat 2000 @ Turnmills, Yeeak! Mayday Party, Notting Hill Carnival, JuJu, Yellow, Queen's, Circle, Re:Verb, Animated, Bunker, Kitchen, Technology, Children Of Chaos, Desire, Sativae, Black Sheep, Twisted, TRIP, Heart & Soul, TEXAS, Knowledge, Subtle Logic, Tresor, etc..." [[ Murf ]]

Murf has played alongside shed loads of people - here's a few he's had the pleasure to party with:

Mr C., Sven Vath, Darren Emerson, Layo & Bushwacka!, Terry Francis, Dave Clarke, Dave Angel, Richie Hawtin, Joey Beltram, Roland Casper, Roy Davis Jr., Damon Wild, HELL, The Advent, Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Rolando, Styro 2000, Jungle Brothers, Marco Lenzi, Space DJ'z, D'julz, Get Fucked, Peach Boys, Asad Rizvi, Colin Dale, Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Thomas Heckmann, Carl Cox, F.S.O.L., Stacey Pullen, Hardfloor, Laurent Garnier, Eddie Richards, Tyree Cooper, Swayzak, K.U.D.O., KCC, Tony Humphries, Harvey, DJ Miku, Suburban Knight, you get the picture...

**Tracklisting**

1) Rufus Ft Chaka Khan - Better Days

I bought this as an 8 year old kid, waaaay back in 1978, from a stall in Uxbridge Road Market, West London. One of my first purchases, little did I know that I was going to be buying many more records over the years!

2) Raw Silk - Just In Time (Dub)

I first went to NYC in 1985, more a B-Boy than a clubber!

I managed to blag myself into a club called The Circle, had no clue who was playing, but it was my first full blown experience of New York/Philadelphia/New Jersey Garage and proto-House, on a dance floor with proper House heads!

Clubs back in London were a very different vibe, and tended to be more mixed musically, everything from Electro, Funk, Disco, and even Hip Hop was played, all within the same hour...

3) Leo’s Sunshipp - Give Me The Sunshine (Vocal)

A gloriously feel-good track taken from the ‘We Need Each Other’ LP from ‘78. I first used to hear this as a young teenager, as I was going to house/squat parties in the early ‘80’s, mainly in Belsize Park, and Hampstead in North London!

These parties were my entry point into the Groove, where I would spend the night listening to the likes of Norman J, Jah Shaka, Ron Tom, Soul II Soul, among others... I finally picked this up in ‘84, and it’s been a go-to Record ever since, especially when the Sun is out, or I’m feeling down...

4) Move D - Tribute To Mr Fingers

From my all-time favourite solo artist LP, ‘Kunststoff’.

Released 1995 on David Moufang’s amazing Source Records imprint! This was one of my best selling records at a shop I opened in ‘95, based in central London called I.Q. Records aka Instant Quality... This was also the year that my good friend Mr.C and Layo Paskin opened their club in December of ‘95, The now Legendary venue The End... ‘95-‘96 was an amazing time to be in London, and this record brings back some of those memories for me...

5) Glenn Underground - Mental Black Resurrection (Mental Piano Dub)

When I was first thinking of what to choose, I immediately started digging into my Detroit collection, then into the many bits from Chicago, but as I started refining my selection, I kept thinking about choosing something that meant something more personal to me... Glenn Underground, for me, is one of those artists who has pushed his own sound into ever deeper territories! I picked this up whilst on one of my many trips to Japan, played it the same evening, and the Japanese audience reacted to this track like only they can! It’s why Japan is a favourite location for many DJ’s, they appreciate proper music!

6) Chateau Flight - Cosmic Race

I’m not really a follower of genres, or where a track comes from! Music is music, it’s bad or good, and in this case very, very good indeed! I had a few records short-listed by French artists, but this grabbed my mood at the last moment... Personally I like to play this pitched down to -8, as it’s a tad too fast for my tastes... This track ticks my boxes when looking for music to include in my DJ sets, a form of Techno that is melodic, intricate, and deep... LOVE!

7) Mono Junk - Channel B

Produced by Kimmo Rapatti, an artist who hails from Finland, and in my books is one of the pioneers of (proper) Minimal Techno... This particular track laid the blueprint to what I was trying to create and play during the mid ‘90’s... it quickly became one of the early anthems at Subterrain @ The End, Stark, raw, and relentless, a perfect exercise in Less is More, the essence of what real Techno is about! Oh, and it was released as a White coloured vinyl 12, what’s not to love!

8) The Night Writers – Let The Music (Use You)

Frankie Knuckles was responsible for some of House music’s finest moments! This track encapsulates the Love and Vibe of clubs during ‘87-‘89, a time when there were no divisions within the music scene, a time when House was House! Sadly a good mate of mine, Liz Edwards passed away during the summer of last year! She had this as her ‘Goodbye’ song at her funeral, and the whole congregation was on their feet, smiling and crying in total joy... Only music can take you there...

9) Fingers Inc. - Music Take Me Up

Track for track the LP ‘Another Side’ is easily my favourite album, and this track I chose because the lyrics say it all for me!

The vocal talents of Ron Wilson and Robert Owens, defined Deep House, and the music by Larry Heard is next level, blurring the lines between House and Techno, and still sounding soulful throughout... Since my first listen back in 1988, a complete LP as good as this has rarely been equalled, I still play tracks from this in my sets...

10) ESG - Moody (Spaced Out Dub)

This takes me musically full circle, as I was a B-Boy in my early teens, and the original 12” ‘ESG’ by ESG from 1981 was a sought after, and often cut-up record by DJ’s of the era... I first got my hands on a bootlegged copy in mid ‘92, as I was wanting this particular mix on a 12”, as the original ‘83 cut from the LP lacked enough punch to play out with... fast forward to present day, and I find myself slipping this into sets where my musical boundaries are allowed to explore more than just the realms of Techno and House...

11) Stasis – Artifax

Throughout the early to mid ‘90’s the UK spawned its own take on the Techno Sound, fusing the genres into new territories, but some were more concerned with a refined, dare I say a pure sound!

A generation fuelled with music from the US, ‘80’s Electro-Funk, Techno, Acid, House, and of course the melting-pot that was the UK Underground scene, and thrown in were the myriad of record labels coming out of Germany, Belgium, and Holland amongst their influences. UK based artists like Kirk Degiorgio, B12, and Black Dog to name a few, were creating a sound that was uniquely British!

A movement more focused on the musical integrity than the fame.... Stasis aka Steve Pickton produced a number of records that have matured with age, and are regarded as key pieces in many collections the world over! I love a number of his records, but this track from 1993 is definitely a personal favourite of mine... THAT Acid line! *)

12) Vernon Felicity - Breaking Silence

You often hear people say ‘They don’t make ‘em like they used too!’. Codswallop! Every once in awhile an artist emerges who seems to produce an endless stream of quality material. For me Boris Bunnik is one of those artists... Better known for work under the name of Conforce, and Versalife, releasing tracks of various styles on a ton of labels. But his alter-ego Vernon Felicity is where his most potent music can be found... I currently own 9 of his VF EP’s, ALL are killer machine driven, late- night basement jams, my kinda sound when I play out... Modern Techno doesn’t come a specific place, as it is now a truly Global movement, and this is futuristic music from the past and present...

I hope my selection has been an enjoyable experience, for you the listener !]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Murf to the Dusk Dubs family.... a selector who has been involved in pretty much every aspect of music you can think of.... DJ, producer, promoter, record shop owner, A&R, lecturer, author and of course vinyl junkie.

“When I was first asked to compile my selection for Dusk Dubs, I thought ‘Cool!’ that shouldn’t take me too long! Then I checked out the website, and was blown away by the musical content... I was especially drawn to a few of my peers within the DJ community... for me it was like looking into a mirror, and seeing a shared love for many great tracks, several I had short-listed for my initial 12!

Unfortunately life has a way of chewing into one’s time, and Dusk Dubs has been patiently waiting, and waiting, and waiting, but finally I have found some time to present a few nuggets that I hope please music fans, no matter your preferred tastes...

As a vinyl junkie, I've been an ambassador for electronic music during a hedonistic 30 year career as a DJ at seminal clubs and events worldwide...

I've promoted, sold, recorded, lectured, played, collected, reviewed and breathed music since the age of 13, recorded numerous mix CD's both here in Europe and Asia including the first CD for Eukahouse's "Tech House Phenomena" series, and worked pushing huge amounts of Vinyl at numerous record stores over the years -Groove, Zoom, Koobla, Silverfish (pre-Eukatech Records), Instant Quality aka I.Q. Records and Covert Records (Brighton)...

After taking a long needed sabbatical (2001-2009) from the DJ circuit, where I ended my long standing resident slots at Edinburgh's Subtle Logic, and The End's flagship party Subterrain -where myself and Mr.C's now infamous 4hr sessions were witnessed every month until late 1999 -I've been busy twiddling knobs, trying to write a book, studying, got married, bought & sold a few houses, had two beautiful lil’ boys and made myself a family man!

For the last few years, I've been laying low working on various projects -building a new studio, writing some very deeeep shit, flying around the globe doing my thing, and now I'm in the process of setting up a very exciting new label...

I've been letting my record box get the better of me of late and started playing out with Vinyl again (there's soooo much good music out there!)... I have come to regard myself as a serious music collector, who has acquired an immense record collection through the years, both as a club and radio DJ, and I've been lucky enough to travel all over the globe meeting some amazing friends and like-minded people who share my knowledge, passion, respect and love for good music!

Some highlights: Berlin's Love Parade, Tribal Gathering, Club F.B. (Toyko), Final Frontier @ Club UK, Club Rockets (Osaka), tons of BEDLAM - yes I'm that Murf - Spiral Tribe parties, Subterrain, Wiggle, Key-Energy, Castlemorten (Where's Reggie gone?), Eurobeat 2000 @ Turnmills, Yeeak! Mayday Party, Notting Hill Carnival, JuJu, Yellow, Queen's, Circle, Re:Verb, Animated, Bunker, Kitchen, Technology, Children Of Chaos, Desire, Sativae, Black Sheep, Twisted, TRIP, Heart & Soul, TEXAS, Knowledge, Subtle Logic, Tresor, etc..." [[ Murf ]]

Murf has played alongside shed loads of people - here's a few he's had the pleasure to party with:

Mr C., Sven Vath, Darren Emerson, Layo & Bushwacka!, Terry Francis, Dave Clarke, Dave Angel, Richie Hawtin, Joey Beltram, Roland Casper, Roy Davis Jr., Damon Wild, HELL, The Advent, Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Rolando, Styro 2000, Jungle Brothers, Marco Lenzi, Space DJ'z, D'julz, Get Fucked, Peach Boys, Asad Rizvi, Colin Dale, Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Thomas Heckmann, Carl Cox, F.S.O.L., Stacey Pullen, Hardfloor, Laurent Garnier, Eddie Richards, Tyree Cooper, Swayzak, K.U.D.O., KCC, Tony Humphries, Harvey, DJ Miku, Suburban Knight, you get the picture...

**Tracklisting**

1) Rufus Ft Chaka Khan - Better Days

I bought this as an 8 year old kid, waaaay back in 1978, from a stall in Uxbridge Road Market, West London. One of my first purchases, little did I know that I was going to be buying many more records over the years!

2) Raw Silk - Just In Time (Dub)

I first went to NYC in 1985, more a B-Boy than a clubber!

I managed to blag myself into a club called The Circle, had no clue who was playing, but it was my first full blown experience of New York/Philadelphia/New Jersey Garage and proto-House, on a dance floor with proper House heads!

Clubs back in London were a very different vibe, and tended to be more mixed musically, everything from Electro, Funk, Disco, and even Hip Hop was played, all within the same hour...

3) Leo’s Sunshipp - Give Me The Sunshine (Vocal)

A gloriously feel-good track taken from the ‘We Need Each Other’ LP from ‘78. I first used to hear this as a young teenager, as I was going to house/squat parties in the early ‘80’s, mainly in Belsize Park, and Hampstead in North London!

These parties were my entry point into the Groove, where I would spend the night listening to the likes of Norman J, Jah Shaka, Ron Tom, Soul II Soul, among others... I finally picked this up in ‘84, and it’s been a go-to Record ever since, especially when the Sun is out, or I’m feeling down...

4) Move D - Tribute To Mr Fingers

From my all-time favourite solo artist LP, ‘Kunststoff’.

Released 1995 on David Moufang’s amazing Source Records imprint! This was one of my best selling records at a shop I opened in ‘95, based in central London called I.Q. Records aka Instant Quality... This was also the year that my good friend Mr.C and Layo Paskin opened their club in December of ‘95, The now Legendary venue The End... ‘95-‘96 was an amazing time to be in London, and this record brings back some of those memories for me...

5) Glenn Underground - Mental Black Resurrection (Mental Piano Dub)

When I was first thinking of what to choose, I immediately started digging into my Detroit collection, then into the many bits from Chicago, but as I started refining my selection, I kept thinking about choosing something that meant something more personal to me... Glenn Underground, for me, is one of those artists who has pushed his own sound into ever deeper territories!

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Lübeck based producer, DJ and recording artist Keno aka Renegades Of Jazz, aka The Motion Orchestra aka... David Hanke.

"The tracks I have selected are mainly all from albums that shaped my taste of sound in electronic music at an early stage. These tracks are mostly from 1995-2005 when I was getting into this sound. Before I was into these sounds, I only listened to Rock music, in particular the Seattle Sound. But I was pretty unsatisfied with it, as I began to find this music very depressive and looking back it kinda made me sick in the long run.

One day a good friend gave me a tape for my car with Kruder & Dorfmeister on one side and Thievery Corporation on the other side and I was listening to this tape all day long and began to explore this music by myself. My friend showed me Kid Loco, Nightmares On Wax, Nobukazu Takemura, Thievery Corporation, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Up, Bustle & Out and the whole Ninja Tune thing.

So I began to dig on the World Wide Web which was kind a new thing around 2001, and the very first album I found myself was Quantic's “The 5th Exotic“, which I absolutely loved and from them on I was addicted to this type of music and never listened to rock music again.

There are many great memories connected to each song and the albums they come from." [[ KENO ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Visit Venus - Harlem Overdrive

My oldest memory about listening to Downbeat music is connected with Visit Venus. First record I listened of Visit Venus was the 12“ Magic Fly Variations. This tune is taken from their first full album 'Music For Space Tourism Vol.1' which was released 1995 and has become kind of underground cult classic in the scene.

2) Nobukazu Takemura - For Tomorrow (Original Single Mix)

Even something I listened from the very beginning of my explorations in electronic music, and still something that sounds better as a lot of stuff from today. Really special memories are connected to this song and even the whole EP. He later did more Ambient type of music, but the 'For Tomorrow EP' and the 'Child's View Remixed EP' are my favourites.

3) Nightmares On Wax - Nights Interlude

Well I guess that's what is called a classic. Not many artists from that time are still active. Have seen him lately with a full live band in Hamburg and had a great evening at this concert. Played a lot of new stuff as well some of the old classics like 'Nights Interlude'. Good to see he's still doing his thing.

4) The Wiseguys - Casino ''Sans Pareil''

What a revelation when I discovered the first album 'Executive Suite' in a shop in my hometown. Regal and Touché delivered a wonderful first album which I think can be also called as a classic nowadays. I was absolutely addicted by this sound when I found the album.

5) Bathyspehere - Augusta

Released on one of my absolute favourite Downbeat labels ever.... Deep-Water Recordings. They didn't had many releases, but Hint had his first release there and there are a couple of great EPs available. Later it turned into Bathysphere Recordings and all the people involved disappeared. If anyone knows Chris Cousin aka SofaLofa from Bathysphere (Deep-Water) holla at me please, I'd like to get in touch with him.

6) Blockhead - Insomniac Olympics

What a first single, what an album, what a year. Released 2004 on Ninja Tune (for me it's my favourite Ninja Tune year). I remember the video and the picture disc single. The mood in this song is so great, flawless. But even the whole album 'Music By Cavelight' is still a masterpiece.

7) Bonobo - Noctuary

Well this guy needs no introduction. What started as 'beautiful Hip-Hop' is today's biggest act in electronic music... well deserved. Still loving the 'Dial 'M' For Monkey' album, Bonobo already proved on an early stage that his music is more than beat making with a hook sample.

8) Kruder & Dorfmeister - Black Baby

Like many people, the first thing I heard of K&D was the 'K&D Sessions'. They really set standards at their time. Their song 'Black Baby' which was produced exclusively for their DJ-Kicks volume, absolute defines their sound for me, still into this and nice to see they started DJ'ing as a duo again.

9) Kid Loco - Relaxin' With Cherry

Also an album I knew at a very early stage of my discoveries. 'A Grand Love Story' is still the best album from him for me. This guitar lick is still absolutely beautiful. The whole album is a great story especially when it comes to the second half where the deeper tracks are.

10) DJ Food - Consciousness (Ashley Beedle Remix) [DRUM FIX]

One of my favourite Ninja Tune and DJ Food songs. Not sure where I heard it first, probably on one of the early compilations. The remix really got me, really one of those songs you connect with the Ninja Label and their sound.

11) Boozoo Bajou - Under My Sensi

First heard on a compilation and never checked from what album it is. Oh what a mistake. Later I've checked the whole 'Satta' album, their first album and was frustrated because the vinyl version is only sold for mad prices, however... great album, great track.

12) Tommy Guerrero - Abiento

The first thing I've heard of Tommy Guerrero, and I was instantly in love with his sound. His sound was definitely different from other former Skater or Surfer dudes. Raw,undiluted and very lo-fi on this first album. The artwork is (still) a real eye-catcher. Was really happy to get the LP at that time, but recently they re-released the album on vinyl again, yay!

13) Thunderball - Solar

Discovered while diggin' some Thievery Corporation stuff and having a real "wow“ moment when seeing the artwork for the first time and listening to the 'Scorpio Rising' album for the first time. For me still their best album with a very special mood and very different styles and approaches to music.

14) Quantic - The 5th Exotic

Well this song and album was really special to me because it was the first album I was digging myself. After getting introduced by a friend to NOW, Kid Loco, Up, Bustle & Out and Thievery Corporation, I found this album in 2001. We listened to it at his parents house on the big Hi-Fi and both didn't say a word while the whole album played, we were just sitting there and listening to it. Still a great album/song to me.

15) Up, Bustle & Out - Y Ahora Tu

I was introduced to them by the same friend and became a big fan. My friend and I have been room-mates later in Hamburg, and I think I played at least two of his Up, Bustle & Out albums each day. Their style and concept of making music is still unique and their 'One Colour Just Reflects Another' and 'Light 'em Up, Blow 'em Out' albums are still my favourite ones, great group!

16) Radio Citizen - The Hop feat. Bajka

What a song and even the first time I heard Bajka's voice. Loved the raw and undiluted sound on the first album 'Berlin Serengeti'. Still a big fan of Radio Citizen and saw them live in Hamburg years ago.

17) Hint - Count Your Blessings

Hint's 'Portakabin Fever' album really blew my mind at the time it was released. This was a perfect Downbeat album to me and still is, real sample magic. The mood he creates on the album is unique. First appearance of Hint was on the Deep-Water record label (mentioned earlier) with his 'The Beau Selectah EP'.

18) Backini - Dreamer

The Discovery of Backini was a lucky moment. Lumenessence Records from UK released a couple of 12“s and the first album on CD. Greatly sampled Downbeat music with swing elements, was instantly hooked to this. I remember I was doing my radio-show that time and received a big vinyl and CD promo package from them.

19) Thievery Corporation - Tomorrow

Well, some of the very first pioneers. First album I listened too was the 'Mirror Conspiracy' which is still one of my favourite albums from them. I was introduced to their music by the same friend I mentioned earlier. Great to see they are still doing their thing.

20) Amon Tobin - Easy Muffin

What a great song by a great producer with his unique style. Unfortunately this one has been removed from all digital platforms due copyright reasons. One of the early Ninja Tune artists, even still active these days, there's a new album coming soon.

21) Loka - Beginningless

Their first 12“ on Ninja Tune was really great, loved the artwork too. Unfortunately it took many years until they released their first album and somehow they didn't get much attention, a pity. But the first three tracks of them really did something with me, I loved their style and sound a lot.

22) Boards Of Canada - Sixtyniner

I think there's no other album from them I love more than Twoism. The mood on this album was flawless and remarkable. I never was really getting into their other works, Twosim was a standout album for me.

23) TM Juke - Just For A Day (Sunday)

Maybe the most influential album to me in the early days of electronic music. I used to listen to it at the weekends breakfast with my girlfriend at that time. So many good memories and the first time I heard Alice Russell on the album. Even the artwork was great.

24) The Cinematic Orchestra - All That You Give feat. Fontella Bass (Edit)

First song I've heard of The Cinematic Orchestra was 'Channel 1 Suite' on a Ninja Tune compilation, but when I heard Every Day I was in love with them. I knew Roots Manuva from his solo works and loved the track with him on the album, but „All That You Give“ was really mesmerising with the vocals of Fontella Bass.

25) Skalpel - Sculpture

The first time I heard this was on the ZEN compilation and I remember that a friend and I had a discussion where he said he could not imagine that this was sampled based, it must be a live band...well it was sampled, out of polish Jazz records. The mood on the first album is something I can't describe with words, fantastic debut album and great to see they formed a Skalpel Big Band and are on tour in 2019.

26) Funki Porcini - Long Road

Well I think this is one of the most wonderful songs of Funki Porcini, a good closing song.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Lübeck based producer, DJ and recording artist Keno aka Renegades Of Jazz, aka The Motion Orchestra aka... David Hanke.

"The tracks I have selected are mainly all from albums that shaped my taste of sound in electronic music at an early stage. These tracks are mostly from 1995-2005 when I was getting into this sound. Before I was into these sounds, I only listened to Rock music, in particular the Seattle Sound. But I was pretty unsatisfied with it, as I began to find this music very depressive and looking back it kinda made me sick in the long run.

One day a good friend gave me a tape for my car with Kruder & Dorfmeister on one side and Thievery Corporation on the other side and I was listening to this tape all day long and began to explore this music by myself. My friend showed me Kid Loco, Nightmares On Wax, Nobukazu Takemura, Thievery Corporation, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Up, Bustle & Out and the whole Ninja Tune thing.

So I began to dig on the World Wide Web which was kind a new thing around 2001, and the very first album I found myself was Quantic's “The 5th Exotic“, which I absolutely loved and from them on I was addicted to this type of music and never listened to rock music again.

There are many great memories connected to each song and the albums they come from." [[ KENO ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Visit Venus - Harlem Overdrive

My oldest memory about listening to Downbeat music is connected with Visit Venus. First record I listened of Visit Venus was the 12“ Magic Fly Variations. This tune is taken from their first full album 'Music For Space Tourism Vol.1' which was released 1995 and has become kind of underground cult classic in the scene.

2) Nobukazu Takemura - For Tomorrow (Original Single Mix)

Even something I listened from the very beginning of my explorations in electronic music, and still something that sounds better as a lot of stuff from today. Really special memories are connected to this song and even the whole EP. He later did more Ambient type of music, but the 'For Tomorrow EP' and the 'Child's View Remixed EP' are my favourites.

3) Nightmares On Wax - Nights Interlude

Well I guess that's what is called a classic. Not many artists from that time are still active. Have seen him lately with a full live band in Hamburg and had a great evening at this concert. Played a lot of new stuff as well some of the old classics like 'Nights Interlude'. Good to see he's still doing his thing.

4) The Wiseguys - Casino ''Sans Pareil''

What a revelation when I discovered the first album 'Executive Suite' in a shop in my hometown. Regal and Touché delivered a wonderful first album which I think can be also called as a classic nowadays. I was absolutely addicted by this sound when I found the album.

5) Bathyspehere - Augusta

Released on one of my absolute favourite Downbeat labels ever.... Deep-Water Recordings. They didn't had many releases, but Hint had his first release there and there are a couple of great EPs available. Later it turned into Bathysphere Recordings and all the people involved disappeared. If anyone knows Chris Cousin aka SofaLofa from Bathysphere (Deep-Water) holla at me please, I'd like to get in touch with him.

6) Blockhead - Insomniac Olympics

What a first single, what an album, what a year. Released 2004 on Ninja Tune (for me it's my favourite Ninja Tune year). I remember the video and the picture disc single. The mood in this song is so great, flawless. But even the whole album 'Music By Cavelight' is still a masterpiece.

7) Bonobo - Noctuary

Well this guy needs no introduction. What started as 'beautiful Hip-Hop' is today's biggest act in electronic music... well deserved. Still loving the 'Dial 'M' For Monkey' album, Bonobo already proved on an early stage that his music is more than beat making with a hook sample.

8) Kruder & Dorfmeister - Black Baby

Like many people, the first thing I heard of K&D was the 'K&D Sessions'. They really set standards at their time. Their song 'Black Baby' which was produced exclusively for their DJ-Kicks volume, absolute defines their sound for me, still into this and nice to see they started DJ'ing as a duo again.

9) Kid Loco - Relaxin' With Cherry

Also an album I knew at a very early stage of my discoveries. 'A Grand Love Story' is still the best album from him for me. This guitar lick is still absolutely beautiful. The whole album is a great story especially when it comes to the second half where the deeper tracks are.

10) DJ Food - Consciousness (Ashley Beedle Remix) [DRUM FIX]

One of my favourite Ninja Tune and DJ Food songs. Not sure where I heard it first, probably on one of the early compilations. The remix really got me, really one of those songs you connect with the Ninja Label and their sound.

11) Boozoo Bajou - Under My Sensi

First heard on a compilation and never checked from what album it is. Oh what a mistake. Later I've checked the whole 'Satta' album, their first album and was frustrated because the vinyl version is only sold for mad prices, however... great album, great track.

12) Tommy Guerrero - Abiento

The first thing I've heard of Tommy Guerrero, and I was instantly in love with his sound. His sound was definitely different from other former Skater or Surfer dudes. Raw,undiluted and very lo-fi on this first album. The artwork is (still) a real eye-catcher. Was really happy to get the LP at that time, but recently they re-released the album on vinyl again, yay!

13) Thunderball - Solar

Discovered while diggin' some Thievery Corporation stuff and having a real "wow“ moment when seeing the artwork for the first time and listening to the 'Scorpio Rising' album for the first time. For me still their best album with a very special mood and very different styles and approaches to music.

14) Quantic - The 5th Exotic

Well this song and album was really special to me because it was the first album I was digging myself. After getting introduced by a friend to NOW, Kid Loco, Up, Bustle & Out and Thievery Corporation, I found this album in 2001. We listened to it at his parents house on the big Hi-Fi and both didn't say a word while the whole album played, we were just sitting there and listening to it. Still a great album/song to me.

15) Up, Bustle & Out - Y Ahora Tu

I was introduced to them by the same friend and became a big fan. My friend and I have been room-mates later in Hamburg, and I think I played at least two of his Up, Bustle & Out albums each day. Their style and concept of making music is still unique and their 'One Colour Just Reflects Another' and 'Light 'em Up, Blow 'em Out' albums are still my favourite ones, great group!

16) Radio Citizen - The Hop feat. Bajka

What a song and even the first time I heard Bajka's voice. Loved the raw and undiluted sound on the first album 'Berlin Serengeti'. Still a big fan of Radio Citizen and saw them live in Hamburg years ago.

17) Hint - Count Your Blessings

Hint's 'Portakabin Fever' album really blew my mind at the time it was released. This was a perfect Downbeat album to me and still is, real sample magic. The mood he creates on the album is unique. First appearance of Hint was on the Deep-Water record label (mentioned earlier) with his 'The Beau Selectah EP'.

18) Backini - Dreamer

The Discovery of Backini was a lucky moment. Lumenessence Records from UK released a couple of 12“s and the first album on CD. Greatly sampled Downbeat music with swing elements, was instantly hooked to this. I remember I was doing my radio-show that time and received a big vinyl and CD promo package from them.

19) Thievery Corporation - Tomorrow

Well, some of the very first pioneers. First album I listened too was the 'Mirror Conspiracy' which is still one of my favourite albums from them. I was introduced to their music by the same friend I mentioned earlier. Great to see they are still doing their thing.

20) Amon Tobin - Easy Muffin

What a great song by a great producer with his unique style. Unfortunately this one has been removed from all digital platforms due copyright reasons. One of the early Ninja Tune artists, even still active these days, there's a new album coming soon.

21) Loka - Beginningless

Their first 12“ on Ninja Tune was really great, loved the artwork too. Unfortunately it took many years until they released their first album and somehow they didn't get much attention, a pity. But the first three tracks of them really did something with me, I loved their style and sound a lot.

22) Boards Of Canada - Sixtyniner

I think there's no other album from them I love more than Twoism. The mood on this album was flawless and remarkable. I never was really getting into their other works, Twosim was a standout album for me.

23) TM Juke - Just For A Day (Sunday)

Maybe the most influential album to me in the early days of electronic music. I used to listen to it at the weekends breakfast with my girlfriend at that time. So many good memories and the first time I heard Alice Russell on the album. Even the artwork was great.

24) The Cinematic Orchestra - All That You Give feat. Fontella Bass (Edit)

First song I've heard of The Cinematic Orchestra was 'Channel 1 Suite' on a Ninja Tune compilation, but when I heard Every Day I was in love with them. I knew Roots Manuva from his solo works and loved the track with him on the album, but „All That You Give“ was really mesmerising with the vocals of Fontella Bass.

25) Skalpel - Sculpture

The first time I heard this was on the ZEN compilation and I remember that a friend and I had a discussion where he said he could not imagine that this was sampled based, it must be a live band...well it was sampled, out of polish Jazz records. The mood on the first album is something I can't describe with words, fantastic debut album and great to see they formed a Skalpel Big Band and are on tour in 2019.

26) Funki Porcini - Long Road

Well I think this is one of the most wonderful songs of Funki Porcini, a good closing song.]]> 2872257 no no Sun, 10 Mar 2019 09:48:40 +0100 2019-03-10T09:48:40+01:00 2:07:56 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/harmonic-sessions-006/

"It's my pleasure to return to the Dusk Dubs stage for their Cancun Beach Chill Out Festival...

**Tracklisting**

1) Carl Craig - es.30
This ambient opening track from the 1997 epic Detroit techno masterpiece "More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art". This song always brought an image of the night sky to my mind, so what better way to start a dusk dub mix?

2) See-I - Why Not Tonight? (Dub)
My friend and Shoes collaborator turned me on to this piece of modern dub reggae. In my mind a perfect example of how to balance the echoed out soundscapes of dub while keeping just enough of the melodic elements to connect with the heart.

3) Carol Cool - Upside Down
From the Soul Jazz "Hustle! Disco Reggae" compilation, just a stellar reggae version of the Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards penned disco tune. Such a great chilled party vibe with this one.

4) Selah Collins - Pick A Sound
From the "Watch How The People Dancing" comp... Brilliant digital dancehall sounds from 1980's London.

5) Nuffwish - Missy Elliot Vs Aquarius
This mash up is what the Shoes label is all about, crossing the old and new in a one funky package. Bringing together the dub sounds of Herman Chin Loy's "Heavy Duty" (from the Aquarius label) with Missy Elliot's "Supa Dupa Fly" including the sample from Ann Peebles.

6) Shoes - Pain Goes Deep
I know... I played one of my own tracks in my mix... Whatcha gonna do? It fit... From the Slow Soul Flow mixtape.

7) Joe Williams & the Jazz Orchestra - Get Out of my Life, Woman
Love this cover of the Lee Dorsey tune with a funky big band feel. Sampled many times the piano break in this is killer.

8) DL Jones - Whoa Bobby
Funky soul sampling instrumental hip hop beats from Detroit, and good life advice from Bobby Womack! "Do the things that keep a smile on her face, Say the words that make her feel better ev'ry day, You bet you better keep on you Ps and Qs, If you don't the woman you can easily lose."

9) Nina Simone - Feelin' (A.J.'s Re-edit)
This song has been done and redone many times, but I thought this version, which puts a nu-jazz spin on it, fit here in between the beat type tracks and the more jazzy and chilled out section of the mix.

10) 4Hero - Naima
From the 2000 Black Presents the Good Good compilation. I wore this record out when it came out in 2000. Of course a cover of the John Coltrane classic, but in a version that perfectly straddles funky, groovy yet laid back, breezy and spiritual.

11) Visioneers - Runnin'
From 4Hero to another Marc Mac project, Visioneers. Big infuence on how Shoes edits were conceptualized bringing together classic sample sources with modern production. Tying together the Stan Getz sample (as flipped by J Dilla) and the Pharcyde track. Again feeling funky and breezy.

12) Stereolab - Rainbo Conversation
Hopefully you are on your second or third drink by this point in the mix and your edibles are starting to kick in, cause it gets a little weirder on the back half... Love, love, love the electro brazillian experiments from the french indie band Stereolab on this album "Dots and Loops". This was on repeat back in 1997 when it came out, and it still holds up as experimental yet so pretty and emotionally resonant for me. It was hard to pick what track to play, but this one seemed to match the breezy vibe of the mix best.

13) Carlos Santana & Mahavishnu John McLaughlin - Naima
Another version of the Coltrane track that brings out the spiritual elements. Two guitar greats get together along with their guru. The album is deep and heavy fusion guitar work, but this song is just two acoustic guitars straining to communicate deep longing for some bigger meaning in the world.

14) Bill Evans - Peace Piece
Now we're just laying down on the beach looking at the stars...

15) World of Apples - The Cows at Jodrell Bank
Lovely piece of dusky trippiness from Ewan Pearson alias. So chill yet with a nice pulse to it...]]>

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we celebrate the 91st Academy Awards, and invite our good friend and Dusk Dubs regular Conrad Koziol, to compile a collection of his favourite movie moments…

"Having been approached by Dusk Dubs last year to see if I was interested in submitting a soundtrack / OST piece for 2019's edition, I went into earmarking possible tracks to include and put together a mental pile to start from and went from there; much the same as I did when putting together my other Dusk Dubs submissions. For various storage reasons I can't physically reach the bulk of my vinyl collection of soundtracks at the moment but was more than happy to work from CD's as I have a reasonable amount to dive into and coincidentally have been sorting.

No theme other than diversity here really; some of these films happen to be ones that my day job has brought me into contact with and are as such especially cherished, and others were ones my Dad introduced me such as 'In The Heat Of The Night' or another was from a particularly vivid trip to see 'Amadeus' in London (!) with my family on a rare trip down from Scotland back in the '80s and such strong memories helped me piece the whole thing together. I hope you enjoy and if there's something you may have missed check out the trailer and see if you fancy the whole picture from there.

Hope you enjoy" [[ CONRAD ]]

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Matthew Foord
Title: DD0547
Style: Soul, Jazz
Time: 119 Minutes
Date: 2019-02-17

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week its Dusk Dubs very own Matthew Foord, with a superb mixtape taking in all things Jazz....

"It’s an honour and a distinct pleasure to be asked to compile another selection for Dusk Dubs (especially since now I’m part of the family)!

My love for Jazz Music goes back to my College days at the end of the 80’s. I was studying Philosophy and soon struck up a friendship with a bloke named Dan. This friendship was based upon our love of alcohol but was cemented when he introduced me to red wine and then jazz Music. Pretentious Moi?!

During these heady days I was also introduced to House music, by way of squat parties and open-air raves on Grantchester Meadows. However, I have always retained a great love and affection for Jazz Music. This love affair has only grown through the years.

I personally find it difficult writing about music as for me it’s always about the feeling. I always seem to stubble into almost ‘sonic cathedral of sound’ platitudes. So, bearing that in mind I’ll keep it short. All these records chosen are massive favourites of mine. I’ve hopefully struck a balance between long time favourites, or relatively new tunes that have blown my mind. Check The Comet is Coming, emanative and Sarathy Korwar (with an absolutely stunning rework of Don Henderson’s Earth) to see how vibrant the current scene is.

Anyway, here it is…experience it…it’s so much more then nice.

This is music to take you to the stars. This is music to mend your broken heart. This is music to dance to. This is music to feel. I love this music "

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite producer and AKO Beatz record label owner Stretch, to celebrate Valentines and compile a personal and wonderful mixtape celebrating 'Love'....

"After being asked by the Dusk Dubs guys to choose some of my favourite music around the LOVE theme, it got me thinking, do I look for rare music or do I go with music I remember when I was growing up.

I went with the latter and decided to go through different genres. One thing I realised is that the 1980’s and early 1990’s was a big influence on me. I remember growing up and Ella Fitzgerald, Minnie Riperton & Marvin Gaye being played while my mum or dad cooked. My brother was an avid record collector and great DJ. I would often look through all his crates of records, and play them when he wasn’t home as I wasn’t allowed to touch them. I fell in love with this music, from artists like Loose Ends, Keni Burke, Rick Clarke, Maze etc and got lost in the music.

As this went on, I started collecting music and DJ'ing on a couple of sound systems as I decided music was my escape. Alexander O’Neil, Micheal Jackson, Janet Kay, Sade and Bobby Brown were always being played in my room. There was a lot of 90’s Soul/RnB I could have added but that was too easy.

In the early 90’s I met 'The Reinforced Crew' and my life changed, 4hero's music was on another level and I always got excited when Marc and Dego finished new projects. Nuyorican Soul - 'I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun' (4hero Remix) was simply a breathtaking remix, even the story behind it made it even more special. I also met King Britt via Reinforced, and we’ve become good friends/brothers, his album 'King Britt Presents Sylk 130 - When The Funk Hits The Fan' was like a soundtrack of my life, and the song "New Love" was me in the kitchen talking to my mum about the music before I was born.

I really hope you guys enjoy this playlist as it means so much to me."

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This weekend we welcome bassist, producer and DJ Hugh Brooker to the Dusk Dubs family.

Hugh provides an inspiration and influences volume entitled...

"'Night Trains Acid Jazz Records Selection"

Night Trains were formed in 1987 by bassist, producer and DJ Hugh Brooker and along with Galliano became part of the first wave of acts to sign to Acid Jazz Records. Originally a sax and Hammond organ-led 5 piece, Blue Note inspired instrumental combo, the band first cut their teeth at Soho's legendary Wag Club's Monday night Acid Jazz sessions, along with DJs and label founders Eddie Piller and Giles Peterson. Their first vinyl outing was the limited edition, and now rare as hens teeth, underground club hit 'Open Channel D.” This was followed by a very early example of Mash Up Breakbeat Jazz crossover on the track “And now we have rhythm” on “Acid Jazz and Other Illicit Grooves”; the seminal major label release on Polydor's Urban Records, alongside artists such as James Taylor Quartet, Galliano and Jalal from US hip hop pioneers The Last Poets.

Giles Peterson and Baz Fe Jazz released Night Trains' critically acclaimed debut album “Checkmate” on their B.G.P [Beat Goes Public] label in 1990. The Japanese release on Quattro Records featured a vocal collaboration with founding father of Hip Hop Afrika Bambaataa on the track “Russian Roulette”.

Returning to Acid Jazz Records in the early 90's, the band released two new albums “Loaded” and “Sleazeball” along with several singles and EPs. “Sleazeball” featured the international club hit “Lovesick” a track for which the band are most recognised. At this point the band signed a US deal with Instinct Records in New York. Night Trains played live extensively across Europe and Japan to promote these records supporting and touring with artists as diverse as Fatboy Slim, Jamiroquai, Gil Scott Heron and Afrika Bambaataa.

To keep the band's sound and vibe fresh, Hugh Brooker constantly changed the live and studio line up, with hand picked and, successful in their own right, session side men and women. These included, amongst many others, Spider Johnson [Drums, Vox], Jennie Bellestar [Vox], Damian Hand [Sax], Mike“chilli”Watts [Drums], Tony Watts [Guitar], Dave Priseman [Trumpet ] Julian Bates [Turntables] and Gary Foote [Sax/Flute].

Brooker took a break from Night Trains duties in 1993 to work with UK rapper and Fatboy Slim cohort MC Wildski on the Acid Jazz records album “Thoughts And Sound Paintings" under the guise “The Humble Souls.” After a successful year of international promotion he returned to work on the new Night Trains album “Obstruct The Doors Cause Delay and Be Dangerous”. At this time Acid Jazz records secured a major sponsorship deal for the band with legendary Italian fashion house Cerruti which resulted in various runway and TV appearances for the band across Europe creating extensive worldwide exposure. Brooker then wrote and produced his “Merchant Of Menace” Breakbeat double album project “Outside Looking Out” released on Acid Jazz and his own Super Villain Wreckuds label. This became Steve Lamacq's record of the week on Radio 1 and Ministry of Sound's Album of the month.

Hugh Brooker currently DJs globally and has been co-writing with and remixing and producing for artists as diverse as Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Earth Wind and Fire. Summer 2012 saw the return of Night Trains to Acid Jazz Records with the 7 inch vinyl release of "No More Heroes" a stomping northern soul reinterpretation of "The Stranglers" 70's New Wave classic. A teaming with Tim Walkers Back Burna records in 2015 resulted in the uplifting Soulful 7 inch "Black Whip" and Summer 2017 sees the band turning full circle and reuniting, for the first time in 27 years, with sublime vocalist Jennie Bellestar Matthias on the up-tempo, Dave Priseman-Horn driven, " Do Anything You Wanna Do" co-produced by James Johnstone [Pigbag / Infinite Wheel].

Hugh is currently in the studio with Night Trains producing new music for 2019.

**Tracklisting**

1) Big John Patton - The Turnaround

When my band "The Night Trains" first signed to Eddie Piller's and Giles Peterson's "Acid Jazz Records" way back in 1987 we had a monthly Monday night "Jazz Room" residency at Chris Sulivans Wag Club in Wardour St Soho London and we used to include our version of this in our set.I can only but hope that our youthful teenage enthusiasm did justice to one of the greatest Hammond organ floor stompers of all time and also one of the best jazz-dance records Blue Note Records ever released.

2) Billy Hawks - Ooh Baby I Feel I'm Losing You

Many years ago I sampled the intro of "I'm Losing You" by Billy Hawks on a track I recorded for Acid Jazz Records called "Beads Things And Flowers" by my other band at the time..The Humble Souls with MC Wildski (who had just had a UK hit with Norman Cook pre "Fatboy Slim" called "Blame it on the Baseline).. I also bunged in a bit of of Ramsey Lewis and The Young Holt Trio... Years later Eddie Piller told me the instrumental version had become a modern mod anthem!!!!! I obviously cant take any credit as I nicked it all from the proper geezers, but can only hope I opened up the originals for a new generation...

3) Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up

Every time i'm on an almighty downer this one melts away the blues like Goldfingers laser beam!!!!

4) Lee "Scratch" Perry And The Upsetters - Jungle Lion

A great horn driven funky reggae reinterpretation of Al Greens " Love and Happiness" by one of my all-time musical heroes.Night Trains band member Mr Spyder Jonson often plays in The Upsetters and very affectionately refers to the genius of Lee Perry as "Fully Mad" so, as one of my other favourite artists once said.... "If this is madness.... Then i'm filled with gladness"!!

5) The Jam - That's Entertainment

A perfectly crafted ode to the trials and tribulations of growing up as a teenager in the Suburbs of 1970s England.

6) The Specials - Friday Night Saturday Morning

The flip side of the fantastic GHOST TOWN.... another "Tragic Comedy" ditty from a superb outfit.. I often end my current DJ set with this and many younger people come up, really digging it, asking who it is... So its all-embracing" Friday night screw up" subject matter must still resonate to this day!!

7) John Barry - Mountains and Sunsets

From the moment i first saw 007 at the cinema John Barry's incredible spine tingling compositions blew me away.. Its impossible to choose my favourite from such a huge cannon of excellence, but this will always conjure up riding across Japan on "The Bullet Train" at a very unholy speed. staring out the window being mesmerised by the beautiful Japanese landscape during our Night Trains tour with United Future Organisation in the early 1990s.

8) The Isley Brothers - Fight The Power (Part 1 & 2)​

Superb politico floor filling funk from the Isley's and, against all odds, I think a few of us are still trying to do exactly that!!!

9) Terry Callier - I Don't Want To See Myself Without You

Terry Callier was a very obscure fantastic artist that Eddie Piller tracked down and signed to Acid Jazz in the twilight of his career.. He's sadly no longer with us... but very lucky for us... his music still is!!!!

10) Rip Rig & Panic - Bob Hope Takes Risks (12" Version)

Anarcho free blowing punk funk from Gareth Sager, and the gang featuring a very young Neneh Cherry.

11) Maceo Parker - Soul Power 74

The record that spearheaded the "Rare Groove" funk revival , secured my undying love for all things James Brown, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley,Marva Witney and Bobby Byrd and paved the way for the birth of Acid Jazz Records.

12) The Slickers - Johnny Too Bad

Reminds me of The Hammersmith Palais and The Lyceum, both great London New Wave /Punk venues in the late 70's early 80's Before the bands came on the sound person always played dub and reggae (to check the bottom end) and by doing so educated a whole new fan base into the joys of this genre..There is also something very poignantly melancholy about this beautiful tune (from the O.S.T of Jimmy Cliff's "THE HARDER THEY COME") that perfectly conjures up the potential consequences of a "misspent" " youth.​]]>
Podcast: Dusk Dubs

Style: Soul, Funk, Jazz
Time: 55 Minutes
Date: 2019-02-03

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This weekend we welcome bassist, producer and DJ Hugh Brooker to the Dusk Dubs family.

Hugh provides an inspiration and influences volume entitled...

"'Night Trains Acid Jazz Records Selection"

Night Trains were formed in 1987 by bassist, producer and DJ Hugh Brooker and along with Galliano became part of the first wave of acts to sign to Acid Jazz Records. Originally a sax and Hammond organ-led 5 piece, Blue Note inspired instrumental combo, the band first cut their teeth at Soho's legendary Wag Club's Monday night Acid Jazz sessions, along with DJs and label founders Eddie Piller and Giles Peterson. Their first vinyl outing was the limited edition, and now rare as hens teeth, underground club hit 'Open Channel D.” This was followed by a very early example of Mash Up Breakbeat Jazz crossover on the track “And now we have rhythm” on “Acid Jazz and Other Illicit Grooves”; the seminal major label release on Polydor's Urban Records, alongside artists such as James Taylor Quartet, Galliano and Jalal from US hip hop pioneers The Last Poets.

Giles Peterson and Baz Fe Jazz released Night Trains' critically acclaimed debut album “Checkmate” on their B.G.P [Beat Goes Public] label in 1990. The Japanese release on Quattro Records featured a vocal collaboration with founding father of Hip Hop Afrika Bambaataa on the track “Russian Roulette”.

Returning to Acid Jazz Records in the early 90's, the band released two new albums “Loaded” and “Sleazeball” along with several singles and EPs. “Sleazeball” featured the international club hit “Lovesick” a track for which the band are most recognised. At this point the band signed a US deal with Instinct Records in New York. Night Trains played live extensively across Europe and Japan to promote these records supporting and touring with artists as diverse as Fatboy Slim, Jamiroquai, Gil Scott Heron and Afrika Bambaataa.

To keep the band's sound and vibe fresh, Hugh Brooker constantly changed the live and studio line up, with hand picked and, successful in their own right, session side men and women. These included, amongst many others, Spider Johnson [Drums, Vox], Jennie Bellestar [Vox], Damian Hand [Sax], Mike“chilli”Watts [Drums], Tony Watts [Guitar], Dave Priseman [Trumpet ] Julian Bates [Turntables] and Gary Foote [Sax/Flute].

Brooker took a break from Night Trains duties in 1993 to work with UK rapper and Fatboy Slim cohort MC Wildski on the Acid Jazz records album “Thoughts And Sound Paintings" under the guise “The Humble Souls.” After a successful year of international promotion he returned to work on the new Night Trains album “Obstruct The Doors Cause Delay and Be Dangerous”. At this time Acid Jazz records secured a major sponsorship deal for the band with legendary Italian fashion house Cerruti which resulted in various runway and TV appearances for the band across Europe creating extensive worldwide exposure. Brooker then wrote and produced his “Merchant Of Menace” Breakbeat double album project “Outside Looking Out” released on Acid Jazz and his own Super Villain Wreckuds label. This became Steve Lamacq's record of the week on Radio 1 and Ministry of Sound's Album of the month.

Hugh Brooker currently DJs globally and has been co-writing with and remixing and producing for artists as diverse as Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Earth Wind and Fire. Summer 2012 saw the return of Night Trains to Acid Jazz Records with the 7 inch vinyl release of "No More Heroes" a stomping northern soul reinterpretation of "The Stranglers" 70's New Wave classic. A teaming with Tim Walkers Back Burna records in 2015 resulted in the uplifting Soulful 7 inch "Black Whip" and Summer 2017 sees the band turning full circle and reuniting, for the first time in 27 years, with sublime vocalist Jennie Bellestar Matthias on the up-tempo, Dave Priseman-Horn driven, " Do Anything You Wanna Do" co-produced by James Johnstone [Pigbag / Infinite Wheel].

Hugh is currently in the studio with Night Trains producing new music for 2019.

**Tracklisting**

1) Big John Patton - The Turnaround

When my band "The Night Trains" first signed to Eddie Piller's and Giles Peterson's "Acid Jazz Records" way back in 1987 we had a monthly Monday night "Jazz Room" residency at Chris Sulivans Wag Club in Wardour St Soho London and we used to include our version of this in our set.I can only but hope that our youthful teenage enthusiasm did justice to one of the greatest Hammond organ floor stompers of all time and also one of the best jazz-dance records Blue Note Records ever released.

2) Billy Hawks - Ooh Baby I Feel I'm Losing You

Many years ago I sampled the intro of "I'm Losing You" by Billy Hawks on a track I recorded for Acid Jazz Records called "Beads Things And Flowers" by my other band at the time..The Humble Souls with MC Wildski (who had just had a UK hit with Norman Cook pre "Fatboy Slim" called "Blame it on the Baseline).. I also bunged in a bit of of Ramsey Lewis and The Young Holt Trio... Years later Eddie Piller told me the instrumental version had become a modern mod anthem!!!!! I obviously cant take any credit as I nicked it all from the proper geezers, but can only hope I opened up the originals for a new generation...

3) Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up

Every time i'm on an almighty downer this one melts away the blues like Goldfingers laser beam!!!!

4) Lee "Scratch" Perry And The Upsetters - Jungle Lion

A great horn driven funky reggae reinterpretation of Al Greens " Love and Happiness" by one of my all-time musical heroes.Night Trains band member Mr Spyder Jonson often plays in The Upsetters and very affectionately refers to the genius of Lee Perry as "Fully Mad" so, as one of my other favourite artists once said.... "If this is madness.... Then i'm filled with gladness"!!

5) The Jam - That's Entertainment

A perfectly crafted ode to the trials and tribulations of growing up as a teenager in the Suburbs of 1970s England.

6) The Specials - Friday Night Saturday Morning

The flip side of the fantastic GHOST TOWN.... another "Tragic Comedy" ditty from a superb outfit.. I often end my current DJ set with this and many younger people come up, really digging it, asking who it is... So its all-embracing" Friday night screw up" subject matter must still resonate to this day!!

7) John Barry - Mountains and Sunsets

From the moment i first saw 007 at the cinema John Barry's incredible spine tingling compositions blew me away.. Its impossible to choose my favourite from such a huge cannon of excellence, but this will always conjure up riding across Japan on "The Bullet Train" at a very unholy speed. staring out the window being mesmerised by the beautiful Japanese landscape during our Night Trains tour with United Future Organisation in the early 1990s.

8) The Isley Brothers - Fight The Power (Part 1 & 2)​

Superb politico floor filling funk from the Isley's and, against all odds, I think a few of us are still trying to do exactly that!!!

9) Terry Callier - I Don't Want To See Myself Without You

Terry Callier was a very obscure fantastic artist that Eddie Piller tracked down and signed to Acid Jazz in the twilight of his career.. He's sadly no longer with us... but very lucky for us... his music still is!!!!

10) Rip Rig & Panic - Bob Hope Takes Risks (12" Version)

Anarcho free blowing punk funk from Gareth Sager, and the gang featuring a very young Neneh Cherry.

11) Maceo Parker - Soul Power 74

The record that spearheaded the "Rare Groove" funk revival , secured my undying love for all things James Brown, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley,Marva Witney and Bobby Byrd and paved the way for the birth of Acid Jazz Records.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite back our good friend Dave Faze to create another amazing volume.

"The inspiration for this selection in part came from the guys at Dusk Dubs, through discussions we had a few years ago recounting our favourite club nights...

Stealth at The Blue Note in Hoxton Square was one of the ones I kept coming back to. I was buying a lot of tracks on Ninja Tune, Mo ‘Wax, Wall Of Sound & was also was heavily into my jungle & dnb too.

Ninja Tune began hosting their own night, Stealth, at the Blue Note in December of 1995, following a successful launch party for DJ Food’s Recipe For Disaster album at the venue. "It’s rare to find a club owner willing to let you experiment," remembers Coldcut’s Jonathan More, of Stealth. "Every great club night has been a combination of an open-minded club-owner, a wayward promoter, and a bunch of crazy people who want to do shit that nobody else is doing." - Taken from The Quietus - Ninja Tune Week: An Extract From Stevie Chick's 20 Years Of Beats & Pieces

The Blue Note Club but especially Stealth, Ninja Tunes’ very own & revered club night (and Metalheadz, Anohka) were my regular haunts back in the day from 95-97 as well as other seminal clubs of the time (Turnmills, The End, Bagleys - all sadly retired to the annals of club land history - RIP). My selection on my 3rd outing for Dusk Dubs (big up Jon ‘The Oracle’ Gidman & all the DD crew!) encapsulates the sounds I experienced at that legendary night which still resonates with me over 20 years later....the 90s really were an special time for culture & music in general & feel privileged that I was part of it.

Join the queue stretching round the corner of Hoxton Square in anticipation of a night of broken beats, jazz influenced, acid hazed & breakbeat fuelled vibes from the heart of east London! It’s funny but I never thought I’d be writing about this over 20 years on!!!". ​

I hope you enjoy it & if you were there, I hope it conjours up some memories of those great parties.[[ DAVE ]]

1) Cosmic Jam - DJ Food

The first track of three from DJ Food (Strictly Kev aka Kevin Foakes) that I have selected. This tune originally appeared on Jazz Brakes Volume 2 in 1991 and then later appeared again on the seminal compilation ‘Flexistentialism’ in 1996. A perfect start to my mix; straight in with the funky breakbeats, jazzy horns, flutes and trippy cosmic pads which were central to the vibes at Stealth. DJ Food along with Coldcut were the backbone to Ninja Tunes back in the early days so its fitting that we start our journey here.

2) What’s In The Basket – London Funk Allstars

Another big tune mixing the jazz vibes, classic hip hop beats & Ultra Magnetic MC ‘Easy Back’ sample – pure instrumental hip-hop that’s all about the music. Released in 1995 and taken from London Funk Volume 1 – a tune that was on heavy rotation for me as I loved the intro keys along with the moog! As well as my love for hip-hop it was also around this time that I got into Jazz in a big way and was listening to a lot of labels like Blue Note and Impulse! Records.

3) The Blend – The Herbaliser feat What What

This particular track takes me back to the top bar area at the Blue Note where they would regularly have freestyle sessions with local MC talent with DJ Food or Coldcut scratching up the beats – the place would go mad with the vibes and would go on for the duration of the night. Many a time I would stand transfixed, watching the DJ’s select funk, soul, brakes and hip-hop all night....absolutely amazing! Check the album ‘Blow Your Headphones’ by The Herbaliser...one of their best lp’s for sure.

4) Freedom (Fila Brazillia Mix) – Fila Brazillia

This track by Fila Brazillia is one of my favourites – came out on the DJ Food project of Refried Food Parts 1 & 2 in 1996...spacey, dreamlike production that transports you to that after party vibe (which for me always the best part of any night out haha!)...enjoy with whatever takes your fancy!

5) Sharp A2 – Luke Vibert

Was and is a massive fan of Luke Vibert – this track came out on James Lavelle’s Mo’Wax imprint on the Headz Part 2 compilation and for me was a stand out track at the time. The heavy and distorted beat with the melancholic keys and discordant strings sets the tone for this emotional piece. Also around the time of DJ Shadow’s ‘Entroducing’ – it almost feels that this should have been on the lp. The trip-hop sound really coming to the fore with this one – a prominent theme throughout the Stealth nights.

6) Revolutionary Woman Of The Windmill (Parts 1 and 2) – Up, Bustle and Out

1 2 3 Alto Y Fuero – Up, Bustle and Out

7) An Unmarked Grave (In Memory of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid) – Up, Bustle and Out

In 1995 - 1997 I was fortunate to catch Up, Bustle and Out live at both Stealth and at Glastonbury Festival on the Jazz Stage. A collective of musicians and DJ’s that took their inspiration from the sounds of South America and in particular that of Peru, Mexico and Brazil fusing the funk, hip hop as well as utilising traditional drums and flutes in their tracks. The tracks I have selected from Up, Bustle and Out all have that experimental vibes that Stealth was all about and its why they feature heavily in this selection....funky, jazzy yet at times dark and brooding and a but trippy!

10) Consciousness – DJ Food

Back to DJ Food of course. Blissed out and laid back dreamy trip hop at its best – I think that best sums this one up...no words really necessary...just enjoy the vibes!!

11) She Don’t Lie – Ceasefire

Somewhat overshadowed by the monster that is Trickshot on the A side sampling Carlito’s Way I thought this track ‘She Don’t Lie’ to be more appropriate for this selection. Another slick, trip hop funky affair taking you back to the smokey environs of the Blue Note dance floor.....wicked track for the heads.

12) Get Your Head Down – Luke Vibert

One word for this track – HUGE!! This always got reaction at Stealth! In my opinion, a masterclass in fusion of jazz and hip hop with the sample of ‘Hip Hop will rock and shock the nation’ always had me buzzing along with the stunning double bass and rolling snare hit and ride cymbals....Mr Vibert on top form here sampling Isaac Hayes and The Wu Tang Clan to great effect.

14) Sunvibes – DJ Food

Taken from one of the first Ninja Tune lps that I bought ‘Scratchmological Waxploitation’, DJ Food again brings the niceness to the fore...another tune for the after party crew.

The last four tracks in my selection – 15) Extreme Possibilities (Wagon Christ Remix) by 2 Player, 16) Fungle Junk by DJ Food, 17) Chasing Cities (Chasing Coconuts) by Zoot Woman and 18) In The Mood by Dillinja all are important tracks for me as at the Stealth nights the selection would invariably break into the experimental sounds of the jungle and dnb. I’ve chosen these tracks as they sum the period well in terms of what I heard down at some of the parties I went to at Stealth but also at Headz and at Anokha which were also held at The Blue Note.....exciting times!

In the words of the mighty DJ Food signing out ‘All good things must come to an end, and when they do, it’s time to get back to where you Really Come From. See you around suckas: End of transMission’]]>

10) Dj Food - Consciousness
11) Ceasefire - She Don’t Lie
12) Luke Vibert - Get Your Head Down
13) Up, Bustle & Out - An Unmarked Grave (In Memory Of Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid)
14) Dj Food - Sunvibes

1) Cosmic Jam - DJ Food

The first track of three from DJ Food (Strictly Kev aka Kevin Foakes) that I have selected. This tune originally appeared on Jazz Brakes Volume 2 in 1991 and then later appeared again on the seminal compilation ‘Flexistentialism’ in 1996. A perfect start to my mix; straight in with the funky breakbeats, jazzy horns, flutes and trippy cosmic pads which were central to the vibes at Stealth. DJ Food along with Coldcut were the backbone to Ninja Tunes back in the early days so its fitting that we start our journey here.

2) What’s In The Basket – London Funk Allstars

Another big tune mixing the jazz vibes, classic hip hop beats & Ultra Magnetic MC ‘Easy Back’ sample – pure instrumental hip-hop that’s all about the music. Released in 1995 and taken from London Funk Volume 1 – a tune that was on heavy rotation for me as I loved the intro keys along with the moog! As well as my love for hip-hop it was also around this time that I got into Jazz in a big way and was listening to a lot of labels like Blue Note and Impulse! Records.

3) The Blend – The Herbaliser feat What What

This particular track takes me back to the top bar area at the Blue Note where they would regularly have freestyle sessions with local MC talent with DJ Food or Coldcut scratching up the beats – the place would go mad with the vibes and would go on for the duration of the night. Many a time I would stand transfixed, watching the DJ’s select funk, soul, brakes and hip-hop all night....absolutely amazing! Check the album ‘Blow Your Headphones’ by The Herbaliser...one of their best lp’s for sure.

4) Freedom (Fila Brazillia Mix) – Fila Brazillia

This track by Fila Brazillia is one of my favourites – came out on the DJ Food project of Refried Food Parts 1 & 2 in 1996...spacey, dreamlike production that transports you to that after party vibe (which for me always the best part of any night out haha!)...enjoy with whatever takes your fancy!

5) Sharp A2 – Luke Vibert

Was and is a massive fan of Luke Vibert – this track came out on James Lavelle’s Mo’Wax imprint on the Headz Part 2 compilation and for me was a stand out track at the time. The heavy and distorted beat with the melancholic keys and discordant strings sets the tone for this emotional piece. Also around the time of DJ Shadow’s ‘Entroducing’ – it almost feels that this should have been on the lp. The trip-hop sound really coming to the fore with this one – a prominent theme throughout the Stealth nights.

6) Revolutionary Woman Of The Windmill (Parts 1 and 2) – Up, Bustle and Out

1 2 3 Alto Y Fuero – Up, Bustle and Out

7) An Unmarked Grave (In Memory of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid) – Up, Bustle and Out

In 1995 - 1997 I was fortunate to catch Up, Bustle and Out live at both Stealth and at Glastonbury Festival on the Jazz Stage. A collective of musicians and DJ’s that took their inspiration from the sounds of South America and in particular that of Peru, Mexico and Brazil fusing the funk, hip hop as well as utilising traditional drums and flutes in their tracks. The tracks I have selected from Up, Bustle and Out all have that experimental vibes that Stealth was all about and its why they feature heavily in this selection....funky, jazzy yet at times dark and brooding and a but trippy!

10) Consciousness – DJ Food

Back to DJ Food of course. Blissed out and laid back dreamy trip hop at its best – I think that best sums this one up...no words really necessary...just enjoy the vibes!!

11) She Don’t Lie – Ceasefire

Somewhat overshadowed by the monster that is Trickshot on the A side sampling Carlito’s Way I thought this track ‘She Don’t Lie’ to be more appropriate for this selection. Another slick, trip hop funky affair taking you back to the smokey environs of the Blue Note dance floor.....wicked track for the heads.

12) Get Your Head Down – Luke Vibert

One word for this track – HUGE!! This always got reaction at Stealth! In my opinion, a masterclass in fusion of jazz and hip hop with the sample of ‘Hip Hop will rock and shock the nation’ always had me buzzing along with the stunning double bass and rolling snare hit and ride cymbals....Mr Vibert on top form here sampling Isaac Hayes and The Wu Tang Clan to great effect.

14) Sunvibes – DJ Food

Taken from one of the first Ninja Tune lps that I bought ‘Scratchmological Waxploitation’, DJ Food again brings the niceness to the fore...another tune for the after party crew.

The last four tracks in my selection – 15) Extreme Possibilities (Wagon Christ Remix) by 2 Player, 16) Fungle Junk by DJ Food, 17) Chasing Cities (Chasing Coconuts) by Zoot Woman and 18) In The Mood by Dillinja all are important tracks for me as at the Stealth nights the selection would invariably break into the experimental sounds of the jungle and dnb. I’ve chosen these tracks as they sum the period well in terms of what I heard down at some of the parties I went to at Stealth but also at Headz and at Anokha which were also held at The Blue Note.....exciting times!

In the words of the mighty DJ Food signing out ‘All good things must come to an end, and when they do, it’s time to get back to where you Really Come From. See you around suckas: End of transMission’]]> 2778522 no no Sun, 27 Jan 2019 10:18:05 +0100 2019-01-27T10:18:05+01:00 1:41:23 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/the-full-spectrum-033/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we have a mixtape from Dusk Dubs very own Wilson Logan.

"My mixtape is a retrospective look across both mine and my dads records collections. It will contain a combination of tracks that i have heard him play as a kid, as well as stuff I’ve discovered myself and finally tracks from my own collection that i feel in someway have been influenced or moulded by these sounds. A Combination of folk, blues, rock and roll through to some new and old electronica." [[ WILSON ]]

"Music should do two things - It should make you remember , or it should make you forget.

I think this is particularly prevalent in both electronic music and the blues, speaking from a personal level anyway.

I wrestled with ideas for this Mixtape for some time before deciding on my final “angle”.

Ive always loved my dads record collection. It might not be the biggest in the world, or the most musically diverse, but as most collections do, it tells a story. Coming from Northern Ireland had an effect on the music both myself and my father were brought up with.
Rock n Roll, Country and Blues were at the forefront of what was being played on the radio and in bars across the country.

For this mixtape I’ve got back to my roots, its a retrospective looks across both mine and my dads record collections. Its a commentary on how my tastes now have been, and continue to develop in response to those well packed and ordered beautiful slaps of 12” plastic.

I thought about writing a bit about each track before i recorded this mixtape…….. i didn’t expect it to be 32 tracks long. Therefore I’m going to pick out select tracks and let the rest of them speak for themselves.

I started with this Muddy Waters track, i could have picked a few different openers but this one from Muddy is a real statement track, its him at his raw and honest best. Thats a bit of a theme across this mixtape, the rawness of some of the blues, i think its something that attracts me to it, soulful yet scratchy and raw, you can feel the emotion pour out of him as he plays this track.

We then move onto B.B King and Hendrix. I remember one of the first times i properly heard and appreciated B.B King, i was maybe 15….. the tones BB produced from that sweet, sweet guitar he famously named Lucille, its still gets me to this day. Theres a funk and a rhythm to BB’s work that i believe is unmatched to this day, even amongst the higher echelons of the guitar community.

Then we move onto Mr Hendrix…. what can i say thats not been said a thousand times over since he passed….The greatest…. he’s up there in my books. The Particular tracks I’ve picked out for this mixtape come from an earlier time than the Hendrix Experience stuff. Thats what i had mostly been exposed to as a youth, but when i found this record i was blown away by again the rawness of it. For me this is Hendrix finding his feet and developing his sound. You can hear his influence across many of the other artists in this mixtape.

In between B.B King, Hendrix and Muddy i slipped in a Shadows track. Its only recently I’ve come to appreciate the Shadows and how important they were for everything that came after them. “Apache” was released in July 1960 and is truely the sound of the times, maybe slightly more Californian than north coast of Northern Ireland but for me its music to get very much lost in.

Continuing on we move through some more Hendrix and Shadows until we land on one of the greatest guitar plays that a lot of people haven’t heard of but having wrestled with the decision he is , in my humble opinion, the best. Certainly the greatest to come from the emerald isle. He was taken far too early at the age of just 47, although significantly longer than some of his peers, it is true what they say about the brightest star. The way he plays that guitar is almost unmatched. At its peak its like a screaming banshee, at its most gentle its on par with some of B.B Kings finest moments. If you haven’t already i urge everyone to get into his back catalogue of music, you simply wont be disappointed. If it hadn’t been for my father i doubt i would have ever discovered Gallagher and for that i am eternally grateful.

Working though the selections, I had to add a few of these. It was hard to pick out of all the stuff from Clapton, Deep Purple and ZZ Top, They are stables in my Dads collection and stuff that i always remember hearing as a kid.

“Old Blue Jeans” by ZZ Top. WHAT.A.RECORD. The feelings and emotion running through this record is unbelievable, matched with the vocal performance, it is taken it to another level. As i sat and listened to this record all i could think about however, was the late Chris Cornell, of Soundgarden and Audioslave. He has an incredibly similar voice and i think he would have killed this song given the chance.

We move, with a small stop at “The Stones”. They’re up their in my dads favourites so it would be criminal to not include them, i debated which track to go for as there are simply too many to pick from. I went with “Beast of Burden”. Again i think its the emotion in Jaggers voice that really struck a chord with me, and as always Keith Richards is sensational on guitar. Up there as one of my favourite Stones tracks.

Next we roll onto Joe Bonamassa. I think this is the first artist on the list that i introduced my dad to, as opposed to the other way around.

All of the Bonamassa tracks in this mixtape are taken from my Live in London album. I instantly fell in love with his sound when i first heard it. I feel like he was born in the wrong era to be fully appreciated, he wouldn’t be out of place in a smokey club in the mid 1970s, yet we are blessed with him in our modern era, proving the blues and rock and roll spirit are well and truly still alive. I mean…. the guy opened up for B.B King when he was just 12 years old. Thats all you need to know.

Following on from that we have probably my favourite Rory Gallagher song, “Sinner Boy”. It starts in a low, mellow tone, until that “drop”. A real Wooooshhh moment. Just try and not nod your head to this, infact try and not move your entire body to this as he slides his way up and down the fret board, and that baseline…… what more do i need to say.

After that assault from Gallagher i had to include some Joy division , i love Joy Divison and my love stems from what has gone before in this mixtape and plenty that i couldn’t include, Black Sabbath, AC/DC , Iron Maiden, all of which were on heavy rotation growing up.

We then start to move away from the blues side of things and into the regions of psychedelic rock. My original love was and always has been Pink Floyd, but i think my current love of weird electronic music and sounds stems from Hawkwind, there is definitely a correlation between them and my obsession with Sci-Fi and gritty urban sounds.

The next two tracks are what i can only describe as curve balls. I didnt have them included in the draft of my original tracklist and were only added at the last minute, however they are just as important as the rest of the selections. Taxi Driver is one of my favourite films, it had a profound effect on my adolescence, so much so that i did my entire GCSE art project around themes and ideas from the movie, as well as lifting a number of tracks from the score. When this was released on vinyl a few years ago i instantly dived on it. The dialogue track and the dialogue of the film in general is some of my favourite and in my opinion some of the most powerful in all of cinema.

Moving on the final part of this mixtape contains tracks that are all taken from my collection and although none of them could particularly be classed as “Blues” i feel that they are all in someway connected to those sounds and feelings of the earlier tracks.

I hope this overview of my mixtape has given people a bit of an insight into my musical upbringing. Its one of the arms of my musical self, there are many more. But thats a story for another day.

For now, pour a whiskey, get comfortable and enjoy some of my favourite music. "

Just try and not nod your head to this, infact try and not move your entire body to this as he slides his way up and down the fret board, and that baseline…… what more do i need to say.

After that assault from Gallagher i had to include some Joy division , i love Joy Divison and my love stems from what has gone before in this mixtape and plenty that i couldn’t include, Black Sabbath, AC/DC , Iron Maiden, all of which were on heavy rotation growing up.

We then start to move away from the blues side of things and into the regions of psychedelic rock. My original love was and always has been Pink Floyd, but i think my current love of weird electronic music and sounds stems from Hawkwind, there is definitely a correlation between them and my obsession with Sci-Fi and gritty urban sounds.

The next two tracks are what i can only describe as curve balls. I didnt have them included in the draft of my original tracklist and were only added at the last minute, however they are just as important as the rest of the selections. Taxi Driver is one of my favourite films, it had a profound effect on my adolescence, so much so that i did my entire GCSE art project around themes and ideas from the movie, as well as lifting a number of tracks from the score. When this was released on vinyl a few years ago i instantly dived on it. The dialogue track and the dialogue of the film in general is some of my favourite and in my opinion some of the most powerful in all of cinema.

Moving on the final part of this mixtape contains tracks that are all taken from my collection and although none of them could particularly be classed as “Blues” i feel that they are all in someway connected to those sounds and feelings of the earlier tracks.

I hope this overview of my mixtape has given people a bit of an insight into my musical upbringing. Its one of the arms of my musical self, there are many more. But thats a story for another day.

For now, pour a whiskey, get comfortable and enjoy some of my favourite music. "

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Twistedsoul's Colin Smith to the Dusk Dubs family,

"Music of an almost other-worldly beauty... I've always had an open mind when it comes to music, the most important thing for me is the imaginary and spiritually a track conjures up upon listening. Oh, and it also has to have the 'groove'.

In the main, I've gone for more recent tracks with a few oldies in there but this tiny selection is a good starting point to the tracks that have shaped me over both past years and present.

Thanks to Dusk Dubs for the invite and for curating a mix series that allows the tracks to be heard the way artists intended in there entirety.

Happy listening folks!" [[ COLIIN ]]

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite the "Afro-Futurist" Ashley Beedle to the Dusk Dubs family. Whether its DJ'ing, producing, remixing or running numerous record labels, Mr Beedle has that magic touch, so much so that Daft Punk once referred to him as one of the “Teachers”.

"In 2017, Dusk Dubs asked me to compile my ‘Dusk Dubs’ playlist….finally, in 2019 I’ve got round to doing it – but I’ve had a fantastically reflective time doing this. It’s hard to talk about music that’s been so ingrained in my psyche but I hope these selections show what makes me tick. Enjoy!" [[ASHLEY]]

Ashley Beedle first began DJing during the 1980s and made a name for himself during the heyday of Acid House. In the early 1990s, he teamed up with Rob Mello and John Howard to form the first incarnation of the Black Science Orchestra, signed to the legendary dance label, Junior Boys Own. After releasing the seminal club classic ‘Where Were You?', BSO’s production unit morphed and evolved with Uschi Classen and Marc Woodford and tracks like 'Strong' and ‘Philadelphia' were released as well as the 1994 debut album 'Walter's Room' and deep house classic ‘New Jersey Deep’.

While working with the Black Science Orchestra, Ashley started another project known as The Ballistic Brothers with Dave Hill, Uschi Classen, Rocky & Diesel spawning the 'Ballistic Brothers vs The Eccentric Afros' Pt 1 & 2 EP plus 'Blacker' (a favourite of Prince’s) and the 1995 LP, 'London Hooligan Soul'. In 1997, the Ballistic Brothers released their second album, 'Rude System' while at the same time, Ashley was working on a multitude of projects including Black Jazz Chronicles, Roots Revolutions and Rising Sunz with Uschi Classen and Phil Asher.

Running parallel with the Ballistic Brothers, Ashley was a founding member of the group X-Press 2, with fellow DJs Rocky and Diesel performing on 6 decks and 3 CDJ players. They scored global dance chart action through the 90’s and 00’s with tracks such as 'Muzik Xpress', 'Say What' and 'London Xpress' and charted at #2 in the UK Top 40 with their global hit 'Lazy', their collaboration with Talking Heads' David Byrne which earnt Ashley an Ivor Novello award. X-Press 2 also released two albums, 'Muzikisum' and 'Makeshift Feelgood'.

From the late 90's onwards, Ashley continued to remix and produce, releasing the milestone 'Grass Roots' compilation in 1999 and between 2001 – 2003, Bent's 'Always' + ‘Magic Love’ and The Streets 'Weak Become Heroes' all received the Beedle remix treatment. Ashley’s remix of Elton John’s ‘Are You Ready For Love’ catapulted the song to No.1 in the UK Singles Chart. In 2005, Beedle remixed Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up" with Damian "Junior Gong" Marley's "Welcome to Jamrock" to create the mash-up 'Stand Up Jamrock (Ashley Beedle Remix)' which the Marley family loved so much they ended up including it on the Bob Marley compilation album 'Africa Unite: The Singles Collection'. The track went on to chart at #1 on the Jamaican National Charts.

Since 2015, Ashley has been working as part of the 'North Street' remix collective with North Street Studio One owner and musical genius, Darren Morris and Ramrock Records/F*CLR boss, Jo Wallace as well as solo remixes. In 2017, Ashley’s remixes of Stan Serkin’s ‘Save Me’ and Glenn Davis’ ‘Body & Soul’ reminded the international dance music community that he is a force majeure in the world of remixing and production and his remix of Mama’s ‘Unmask Me’ was voted the No.2 best single of 2017 by DJ History. 2019 already has a plethora of projects underway including Waterson’s debut album, an Afrikanz on Marz concept album and the reunion of the legendary Black Science Orchestra – watch this space….

**Tracklisting**

1) Alton & Eddie – Muriel

This would be the first record that I remember. My mum and dad used to play this old Bluebeat record and it’s got magical memories. It draws upon a time when my parents had house parties and there was always a very cosmopolitan crowd which was a wonderful environment for a mixed race child to grow up in. ‘Muriel’ was one of many bluebeat, ska and rocksteady records that my dad had in his collection and his love of all things eclectic gave me a great musical start in life.

2) Bob Dylan – Like a Rolling Stone

My Dad always played this incredibly loudly on the stereogram – and that opening snare….it was a sign of things to come. Where Dylan’s head was when he wrote the lyrics, I have no idea. Theories abound and there’s finger pointing but putting all that to one side, this is one of the all-time greatest records for me personally – with the Hammond B3 playing of Al Kooper – what’s not to like.

3) The Byrds – Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)

Once again, my dad put me onto West Coast group, the Byrds. Along with inspiration from the Beatles and Dylan’s folk based compositions, this gave the group their musical starting point and I followed them until they splintered and went off to become Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Check out Roger McGuinn’s distinct 12 stringed Rickenbacker guitar.

4) Tremeloes – Here comes my baby

Even though the record was a lot older than me when I first heard it around 7 years old, I loved the groove. My mum used to dance me round the living room while I sang the chorus at the top of my voice….

5) The Beatles – Ticket to Ride

From the opening guitar riff to the ‘drone’ at the end, this was the sound of the Beatles going deep. This influenced so many other artists including the Byrds – see what I did there? Reflecting on the track in later years, I realised how pivotal ‘Ticket to Ride’ was for the Beatles. From that point onwards, they stopped being the mop topped lads from Liverpool and took us all on a magical mystery tour….

6) Sparks – This town ain’t big enough

Any song that starts with the lyric ‘Zoo time, is she and you time?’ gets my vote. Gunshots, fade in intro, demented Top of The Pops performance from the Mael Brothers – what’s not to like. A proto punk/ glam rock hybrid – this lead and others followed. A phenomenal track from 1974 making it all the more remarkable.

7) Adverts – Gary Gilmore’s Eyes

In 1977, the Adverts released their controversial 45 – ‘Gary Gilmore’s Eyes’ b/w the popular B side ‘Bored Teenagers’. The thought provoking lyrics describe a patient laying in a hospital bed after having had a cornea transplant and finding out on the news about the donor. Plus, I really fancied Gaye Advert…..

8) Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash – Girl from the North Country
9) Bruce Springsteen – Kitty’s Back
10) The Band – The Weight

A remarkable hat trick of country/rock/folk/soul tinged masterpieces all introduced to me around the time when I was 13. The impact they collectively made on my musical formative years was immense. You can’t really argue with these powerhouses!

11) Funkadelic – Funky Dollar Bill

I had a friend called Terry who introduced me to all manner of good grooves. Far ahead of his contemporaries, Terry unleashed this monster while we were listening to vinyl during one of our regular ‘record reviews’ in his bedroom at his parent’s house in Harrow where I lived at the time. Recorded 7 years earlier in 1970, I was 15 when I first heard ‘Funky Dollar Bill’ and it had lost none of its edge – hard Detroit rock and roll played by a black funk band. Truly "A Parliafunkadelic Thang"!

12) Crown Heights Affair – Far Out
13) Slave – You + Me

And then the Lord said – let there be Jazz Funk – and there was! Terry and I travelled far afield from Harrow in search of new music and ended up in The Hop Bine in Wembley! In the function room at the back of the pub, DJs Andy Mann & Greg Jenson kept the local youth up to date with hot imports from the U.S.A – along with their mobile DJ set up with the revolutionary sound to flashing disco lights. ‘Far Out’ + ‘You and Me’ blew my teenage mind – and to this day, I still get the adrenalin rush….

14) Bob Marley & Wailers – Natty Dread
15) Johnny Osbourne – In the area
16) Paul Davidson – Midnight Rider

Running parallel with my ‘soul boy’ persona was my love of conscious reggae + the incoming stream of wonderful sides from JA. During my teens, ‘Natty Dread’ enabled me to feel equally balanced in an unbalanced society. Being mixed race, I could identify with Bob Marley and it helped dispel a lot of racist attitudes towards me at school and socially. Using the ‘Stalag’ rhythm, Johnny Osbourne’s ‘In the area’ was a taster of things on the reggae horizon – early dancehall at its finest. And then, Paul Davidson’s ‘Midnight Rider’ – a cover of the Allman Brothers classic, recorded at Harry J’s studios under the watchful eye of Pluto Shervington, ‘Midnight Rider’ was as essential as John Holt’s ‘1000 Volts of Holt’ in any Caribbean household’s record collection.

17) Mark Murphy – On The Red Clay

A cover of Freddie Hubbard’s 1970’s version. Outstanding jazz from Mr Murphy in 1975. I was put onto this by Patrick Forge – which brings us neatly onto….

18) Brand Nubian – All For One

Taken from their ‘One for all’ album and included on Patrick Forge’s & Julian Palmer’s hugely influential 1992 ‘Rebirth of Cool Too’ compilation, ‘All for one’ burst onto the hip hop scene in the UK in 1990. I was working in Black Market Records in London’s Soho and I could hear someone playing a track downstairs and thinking ‘what is this???’ The release FLEW out of the shop – it was so exciting and so exhilarating – it was one of those ‘you had to be there’ moments.

19) Public Enemy – Rebel without a pause

A meteorite of a record – us sound system boys didn’t know what had hit us. But trust me, when we dropped this the first time at the 1987 Notting Hill Carnival when I was with Shock Sound System, the neighbourhood shook. Incendiary hip hop!!

20) David Bowie – Young Americans
21) Orange Juice – Simply Thrilled Honey
22) Hüsker Dü – Love is all around
23) A Certain Ratio – Shack Up

Like Picasso, this is what I like to call my ‘blue period’ group of records – not defined by date but more by content. I’ve always been a huge fan of ‘blue eyed soul’ and Mr Bowie’s Philly release ‘Young Americans’ blew up not only on the London soul scene but globally. Follow that with the dulcet tones of Orange Juice frontman, Edwyn Collins and you begin to get my drift. Hüsker Dü elbow their way into the selection – not soul but soulful in its own unique way. Who else could make the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme sound so radical? And then A Certain Ratio’s leftfield New Wave take on Banbarra’s 1975 funk classic ‘Shack Up’ – giving it a refreshingly ‘British’ angle.

24) Jungle Wonz – Time Marches On

Purchased in 1987, Croydon, Mi Price Records, Jazzy M at the controls. Hard to pick a defining track in my historical House music lineage but Jungle Wonz ‘Time Marches On’, produced by Marshall Jefferson & Harry Dennis on Chicago based Trax Records pinpoints that moment. Another massive sound for Shock Sound System at Carnival….trust me, IT WENT OFF!!

25) Sun Ra & the Sun Ra Arkestra – Sleeping Beauty

Lady Di had passed on the day that Gilles Peterson was presenting his Radio London show. He played the full length version of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ in her memory which I thought was very respectful of him to do during a strangely unsettling time in the media. Thanks to Gilles, I began my exploration of the Universe according to Sun Ra – still out there exploring!

26) X-Press 2 ft. David Byrne – Lazy

I’ve included this – not as an ego trip but as a thanks to David, Rocky and Diesel for giving me one of the most extraordinary periods of my musical career. ‘Lazy’ enabled me to travel the world, meet people from all walks of life, opened doors that I could never have opened before and I even got to appear on Top of the Pops – what more could I ever ask for?

29) Glen Campbell – Guess I’m Dumb
28) Joseph Malik – Love Bound (A Wallace & Morris ‘North Street’ Remix)

Finally, a ‘Back to the Future’ moment. I was introduced to ‘Guess I’m Dumb’ and to Joseph Malik via my partner, Jo Wallace. ‘Guess I’m Dumb’ is, for me, Glen’s finest hour – a 1965 slab of Beat Ballad perfection, arranged and produced by the Beach Boy’s Brian Wilson and underpinned by the magnificent L.A session musicians, the Wrecking Crew. Fast forward to 2018 – Jo Wallace + Darren Morris take Joseph Malik’s original version of ‘Love Bound’ from his ‘Diverse Part 2’ LP and apply their ‘North Street Remix’ production + arrangement skills to pay homage to the masters that went before – Teddy Randazzo, Jerry Ragovoy and Burt Bacharach to name but a few. Darren Morris’s additional keyboards and Jo’s understanding of the atmospherics of 60’s ballads resulted in a modern day masterpiece.]]>

Like Picasso, this is what I like to call my ‘blue period’ group of records – not defined by date but more by content. I’ve always been a huge fan of ‘blue eyed soul’ and Mr Bowie’s Philly release ‘Young Americans’ blew up not only on the London soul scene but globally. Follow that with the dulcet tones of Orange Juice frontman, Edwyn Collins and you begin to get my drift. Hüsker Dü elbow their way into the selection – not soul but soulful in its own unique way. Who else could make the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme sound so radical? And then A Certain Ratio’s leftfield New Wave take on Banbarra’s 1975 funk classic ‘Shack Up’ – giving it a refreshingly ‘British’ angle.

24) Jungle Wonz – Time Marches On

Purchased in 1987, Croydon, Mi Price Records, Jazzy M at the controls. Hard to pick a defining track in my historical House music lineage but Jungle Wonz ‘Time Marches On’, produced by Marshall Jefferson & Harry Dennis on Chicago based Trax Records pinpoints that moment. Another massive sound for Shock Sound System at Carnival….trust me, IT WENT OFF!!

25) Sun Ra & the Sun Ra Arkestra – Sleeping Beauty

Lady Di had passed on the day that Gilles Peterson was presenting his Radio London show. He played the full length version of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ in her memory which I thought was very respectful of him to do during a strangely unsettling time in the media. Thanks to Gilles, I began my exploration of the Universe according to Sun Ra – still out there exploring!

26) X-Press 2 ft. David Byrne – Lazy

I’ve included this – not as an ego trip but as a thanks to David, Rocky and Diesel for giving me one of the most extraordinary periods of my musical career. ‘Lazy’ enabled me to travel the world, meet people from all walks of life, opened doors that I could never have opened before and I even got to appear on Top of the Pops – what more could I ever ask for?

29) Glen Campbell – Guess I’m Dumb
28) Joseph Malik – Love Bound (A Wallace & Morris ‘North Street’ Remix)

Finally, a ‘Back to the Future’ moment. I was introduced to ‘Guess I’m Dumb’ and to Joseph Malik via my partner, Jo Wallace. ‘Guess I’m Dumb’ is, for me, Glen’s finest hour – a 1965 slab of Beat Ballad perfection, arranged and produced by the Beach Boy’s Brian Wilson and underpinned by the magnificent L.A session musicians, the Wrecking Crew. Fast forward to 2018 – Jo Wallace + Darren Morris take Joseph Malik’s original version of ‘Love Bound’ from his ‘Diverse Part 2’ LP and apply their ‘North Street Remix’ production + arrangement skills to pay homage to the masters that went before – Teddy Randazzo, Jerry Ragovoy and Burt Bacharach to name but a few. Darren Morris’s additional keyboards and Jo’s understanding of the atmospherics of 60’s ballads resulted in a modern day masterpiece.]]> 2721667 no no Sun, 06 Jan 2019 10:34:43 +0100 2019-01-06T10:34:43+01:00 2:03:33 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dub-explorations-049/

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Chris Bowden
Title: DD0540
Style: Soul, Jazz, OST, Downtempo
Time: 93 Minutes
Date: 2018-12-30

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

Closing out December and 2018, we invite alto saxophonist, composer and arranger Chris Bowden to the Dusk Dubs family, who shines a light on the music that connects him to different times from his youth.

Originally from Birmingham, UK, he began his professional career with The K-Creative in the early 1990's acid-jazz boom, and also worked with Palm Skin Productions, Jessica Lauren, and Jhelisa.

He has worked across a variety of genres from acoustic jazz to hip hop and drum and bass. As well as his solo releases he has contributed to music by 4 Hero, The Herbaliser, and The Heritage Orchestra among others. He is currently active with The Tomorrow Band and Scorched Earth.

"These are tunes mostly from my early youth and my 20’s.... so they’re all from my early youth then!!!....I have always loved Jazz, not because I understood it, but because how it made me feel. These tunes connect me to different times in my life, it’s interesting because I can see a direct relationship between this music and my career. Thanks for asking me, it’s been my absolute pleasure."

You can catch Chris recreating one of his most revered albums, when he plays TIME CAPSULE ‘LIVE’ on 22nd January 2019.

For one night only the whole album will be recreated by Chris Bowden and a 12 piece “Time Capsule” Ensemble at London’s Union Chapel. Tickets HERE

“This is the album that connected it all.” Gilles Peterson 2018

Chris Bowden’s debut album Time Capsule was first released on Soul Jazz Records in 1992 to universal and widespread critical acclaim. Now 20 years on a new wave of current jazz artists led by the likes of Kamasi Washington in the USA and a host of British artists – Shabaka Hutchings, Sons of Kemet, Ezra Collective, Moses Boyd, Nubya Garcia, Fourtet, Yussef Kamaal, Tenderlonious, Binker & Moses – have brought this original ground-breaking album into the limelight once more as a pivotal starting point, sharing many of the aesthetics of these current artists at work today.

Musically inspired by the spiritual jazz of John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Don Cherry et al paired with a modern electronic music sensibility. Chris Bowden’s Time Capsule has stood the test of time like few other albums (as the title of the album suggested), and remains a pivotal, wholly-successful and original experimental musical collage, a radical inspiration and forebearer to many of the best progressive jazz and electronic artists working today.

The album has been fully re-mastered by Soul Jazz Records and re-issued in 2018 (BUY HERE)

Title: DD0538
Style: Soul, Jazz, Funk
Time: 76 Minutes
Date: 2018-12-16

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This weekend we invite vinyl junkie and DJ Paydro Bar to the Dusk Dubs family, with a selection of personal favourites from his amazing record collection.

Paydro, first got into vinyl as a five year old watching his Dad play various genres on vinyl and was instantly hooked, his Dad taught him how to look after and care for vinyl which he has never forgotten and still prides himself on how well kept his collection is.

He bought his first record at 13 years old and has never looked back, started off playing at local house parties in his teens which later lead him to play on underground pirate radio stations like Shine FM he eventually took a break from playing on the radio but still continued to buy vinyl of different genres.

Around 2015 he met a friend who would get him back onto the radio where he became a member of the Hip Hop Back In The Day crew playing golden era Hip Hop once month with the other crew members in rotation, on Westside Radio, shortly after that he would find himself doing a twice monthly Jungle/D&B show on www.lifefm.tv and also a Hip Hop show on Mondays again in rotation with the other HHBITD members which he still does currently.

His most recent new show is The Breaks & Soul Show every Tuesday from 6pm to 8pm on http://www.itch.fm,

"The songs in this selection are songs that are personal favourites from my collection so sit back, relax and enjoy the journey" [[ PAYDRO BARR ]].

You can find Paydro HERE:

**Tracklisting**

1) Rotary Connection Feat. Minnie Riperton - Respect
Got put onto this song as a teenager while collecting music by Minnie Riperton after being blown away with her 5 octave vocal range and the love of her making this Otis Redding written classic her own on this version.

2) Roy Ayers - We Live In Brooklyn
Love this track, can’t remember when I first heard it but it’s always been a favourite of mine, Roy Ayers can do no wrong.

3) Ahmad Jamal - Misdemeanor
First came across this track as part of the riding of the rare groove era in the early 90’s when everyone was playing the Foster Sylvers version, my love of Hip Hop and the need to track samples lead me to this version by way of the Gangstarr track “Soliloquy of chaos”.

4) Vanessa Kendricks - 90% Of Me Is You
Another stone cold classic and favourite of mine, love the Gwen Mcrae version but again my love of Hip Hop lead me to find this version as it was this version that was used by Main Source on “Just Hanging Out”.

5) The Headhunters - If You’ve Got It You’ll Get It
Just like most people, I’m a big fan of Herbie Hancock and yet again another track I was lead to by way of Hip Hop song “They Call Me Puma” by Seborn & Puma. This original version by the headhunters is perfect in every way from the mellow beginning through to the psychedelic middle and finally the wind down end, the song goes full circle, love it.

6) We The People - Forgotten Man
Got put on to this song by my good friend and Life FM colleague John Watts, he’s big on rare grooves, soul and all things funky, so yeah big ups to him.

7) The Soul Searchers - Ashley’s Roachclip
One of the first breaks I ever heard apart from your standard ones like funky drummer etc, I think I heard this on one of those Ultimate Breaks & Beats compilations back in the day.

8) Gentle Giant - The Advent of Panurge
Love this simply because of the style changes within the song I just love the fact that artists could be creative like that as opposed to the robotic formula of pop songs today, and then out of nowhere you get blessed with the “Look at my friend” sample R.I.P Dilla.

9) Pleasure - Bouncy Lady
Heard on of my uncle’s playing this as a kid, had a few uncles that had dope record collections and one uncle in particular used to let us look through and play his records we’d be there hours playing stuff and looking at the covers.

10) Ohio Players - Pride & Vanity
I used to see this in the window of a record shop on the Harrow Road as a kid and always wondered what the album sounded like, found out years afterwards when I was able to listen to it when record shops used to let you listen to things, bought it and it now lives in my collection with their other albums.

11) Andrew Ashong - Flowers
This track I heard on a mixtape I was listening to in bed with headphones on, I had dozed off and this song woke me up, I looked through the track listing of the mixtape got the name and bought the record the following weekend.

12) Thundercat - Them Changes
What can I say about this dude right here? Absolute genius, nuff said.

13) Jill Scott - Whenever You’re Around
One of my all time favourite singers from just after the 90’s she’s gone from strength to strength and her live shows are off the chain, love all her tracks but this one here does it for me.

14) Amerie - Need You Tonight
Another one of my favourite singers, very underrated but I place her above certain other singers who currently get all the limelight, yep I said it.

15) Omar - The Man
This man’s the UK’s finest, and has made some timeless classics, this is homegrown soul done to perfection.

16) The Brand New Heavies - Sometimes (Ummah Mix)
Every now and again you get remixes that sound as if they should have been released as the original version, this is a classic example, can’t say anything bad about this remix, I give it 10/10.

17) The Rah Band - Are You Satisfied
This outfit holds a special place in my heart, came across their tune “Messages From The Stars” one summer when I think I was 10 years old or so, I can’t even really go into what happened that summer but I will say that it’s a summer of me coming into my own and realising who I was as a person, I will never forget that summer.]]>

Title: DD0538
Style: Soul, Jazz, Funk
Time: 76 Minutes
Date: 2018-12-16

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This weekend we invite vinyl junkie and DJ Paydro Bar to the Dusk Dubs family, with a selection of personal favourites from his amazing record collection.

Paydro, first got into vinyl as a five year old watching his Dad play various genres on vinyl and was instantly hooked, his Dad taught him how to look after and care for vinyl which he has never forgotten and still prides himself on how well kept his collection is.

He bought his first record at 13 years old and has never looked back, started off playing at local house parties in his teens which later lead him to play on underground pirate radio stations like Shine FM he eventually took a break from playing on the radio but still continued to buy vinyl of different genres.

Around 2015 he met a friend who would get him back onto the radio where he became a member of the Hip Hop Back In The Day crew playing golden era Hip Hop once month with the other crew members in rotation, on Westside Radio, shortly after that he would find himself doing a twice monthly Jungle/D&B show on www.lifefm.tv and also a Hip Hop show on Mondays again in rotation with the other HHBITD members which he still does currently.

His most recent new show is The Breaks & Soul Show every Tuesday from 6pm to 8pm on http://www.itch.fm,

"The songs in this selection are songs that are personal favourites from my collection so sit back, relax and enjoy the journey" [[ PAYDRO BARR ]].

**Tracklisting**

1) Rotary Connection Feat. Minnie Riperton - Respect
Got put onto this song as a teenager while collecting music by Minnie Riperton after being blown away with her 5 octave vocal range and the love of her making this Otis Redding written classic her own on this version.

2) Roy Ayers - We Live In Brooklyn
Love this track, can’t remember when I first heard it but it’s always been a favourite of mine, Roy Ayers can do no wrong.

Title: DD0537
Style: Jungle, Techno, Ambient, Drum and Bass
Time: 119 Minutes

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we we invite producer Missing to the Dusk Dubs family.

"Choosing from my record collection and all the different styles of music I love was not easy. Truth is I could have filled it all with just jazz funk or old hip hop or classic house or, of course, jungle/dnb.

I have decided though to focus mainly on the various flavours of U.K. bass music that have had the biggest impact on my life. When I stood back it was clear that this is what has shaped me the most- as an artist and as an individual. Maybe it’s my formative years growing up in the melting pot of inner city London and the sounds I was exposed to.

Music wasn’t just an escape from a sometimes bleak assessment of our future but it was an amazing form of self-expression. The magpie culture of taking stuff and making it our own. Jungle was perhaps the ultimate example but there were many routes to and from it. This one of any number of infinite paths I could have chosen; I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you to the Dusk Dubs crew for the opportunity to share this selection".

**Tracklisting**

1) Photek - Modus Operandi
Always said this would be on my desert island selection. Rupert Parkes at his best and a example of how great musicians can create beautiful music in many genres. It was amazing to see him play the full album end to end live a few years ago; a rare pleasure. He opened with this track.

2) Fallout - The Morning After
I heard this on Sunrise and Centreforce in 1987/88, two pirate stations that I used to listen to in early days of secondary school. That bassline just stood out and sucked me into underground music. Timeless.

3) Language - Renegade
Early UK breakbeat and one of first tracks I heard to include ragga samples and a dub influenced bass line. So much space in the groove. Don’t know if Language made any other tracks or who they were. Still play this regularly.

4) Depth Charge - Han Do Jin
Saul Kane (Depth Charge) is an often overlooked visionary in the UK bass scene. Consider this was made in 1989 and how tight the production is. Almost like early dubstep. With kung fu samples from a time when we watched those on pirate copies on Betamax tapes.

5) The Ragga Twins - Hooligan 69
There are some tracks you remember hearing for the first time. My mate brought this round to a teenage party, we must have played it 20 times. The idea of ragga and breakbeat hardcore being in one track but with UK MCs not samples felt revolutionary. Still legends in the game.

6) Simpleton - Coco Cola Shape
Many friends growing up had Jamaican parents who had amazing reggae collections but their kids listened to ragga - it was as much a soundtrack to my youth as house and hip-hop. It’s why jungle made so much sense to be as ragga tracks we listened to became inspirations for productions and part of the melting pot of sounds. Here is one of two tracks from that era in my selection.

7) Tenor Fly - Town a Run Hot
Rebel MC on the buttons for this production and the mighty Tenor Fly. UK twist on ragga of the time and in an era when you could still hear this played alongside hardcore, house or rap records in the same party in my ends.

8) Foul Play - Ragatere
Foul Play made many great tracks but this is a persy for me. I remember vividly Remarc scracth mixing the accapella of “Mi Love Me Sense” over this on his midweek Rush FM show on Thursday nights. Proper early jungle.

9) Missing featuring State Logik - The Day After Tomorrow
Early 94 I made this track, shortly before I signed my first tracks to 3rd Party/Kemet. State Logik (Phaze III and Klass A from Kool FM) who became really Liquid Funk pioneers were local mates of mine and while we all loved the jungle sound we were as likely to listen to the deeper sounds of the era and we collaborated on this track.

10) DJ Dub - Losing Track of Time (LTJ Bukem Remix)
My crew knew this track as "Bukem No Limits" as the white label it came out on had a red triangle with No Limits written next to it. The track was semi mythical as nobody I knew could get it on vinyl and it existed on shared C90 tapes and snatches of pirate radio. Bukem rolling simplicity and the epic spine tingling samples. I found on vinyl a few years ago.

11) DJ Trace - Teach Me to Fly
Trace to me is an unsung hero of the scene. His influence is huge and tracks cast a long shadow. I believe he made this when he was only 16. A serous track and the piano break (played by LTJ Bukem) is a thing of beauty.

12) T.Power & MK Ultra - Mutant Jazz
A link to Trace here as his remix of this was a seminal track but it’s the original on my list. How often these days do tracks develop over 6 minutes? An amazing trumpet hook, pads that make the hairs on your neck stand up and dirty jungle breaks. A work of art.

13) Internal Affairs - Hands to Heaven
Reinforced Records doing what they do best, creative freedom for innovators and what a result. Goldie, 4 Hero and Manix collaborating on an insanely good EP. Any of the 4 could have made the cut but Hands to Heaven it is. I posted the sleeve notes for this on my instagram recently; wise words to read and music to cherish.

14) Aquarius - Drift to the Centre
One of three Photek tracks in my selection and one of three of his many aliases. I remember hearing this for the first time on the Fabio DnB show on Kiss FM, early 94. From the crackling rhodes to the haunting vocal and that breakdown of mad sounds that could come from a Kung Fu movie interlude.. an absolute work of art. I heard this at Bukem and Fabio in Kentish Town last year. Still sounds as fresh today as that first play.

15) Elisabeth Troy ‎– 4 Vini (Forever Young) (MJ Cole Remix)
A heartfelt song from a tribute album to Vini from pioneering jungle label SOUR who tragically died far too young. MJ Cole does what he does best on the remix and creates an absolute classic.

16) C83 featuring Tamra - Twisted Logic
I stopped making Jungle/Dnb from around 2000 to 2016. For some of 2000s I was making Breaks. It was an amazing scene for a relatively short lived period and reminded me of the early days of jungle in many ways. It was also an opportunity to work at a different tempo (130-140) and different grooves. C83 was me and my cousin Jon Guntrip. This is a track we both feel really proud of.

17) Rufige Cru - Beachdrifta
While I stopped making DnB for many years I never stopped listening to it and still went out raving regularly. Fond memories of hearing this out. This track from the godfather Goldie is, to me, one of his finest works. The piano, the strings and the collision of darkness and light in perfect symphony.

18) Inta Warriors - Inta (Special Forces Remix)
The third Photek track on this selection on the mighty Prototype records. MC Flux on the lyrics and a stripped back junglistic steppa that still sounds so fresh today. I heard it for the first time at Sunday Sessions of the new venue of The Blue Note when it moved to Islington. I thought it wasn't possible to capture the spirit of the original Blue Note in the new venue but that night I heard music that made me realise that it didn't matter - dnb would keep progressing.

19) Marcus Intalex & ST Files - How you Make me Feel
Some artists just make simple, timeless music and just own their sound. Marcus Intalex was one of these people and this track one of many of his I frequently go back to. Squarely for the dancefloor and the soul.

20) Nas, Kanye West & The Dream - Everything (Missing & Axiomatic Remx)
I have been making jungle/dnb again since 2016 and am humbled by support I have had for my new productions so many years absent. This track of mine and collaborator Axiomatic we made this summer - a cheeky bootleg that has had a great reception with Radio 1 play by including Friction's Essential Mix. It will probably never come out but will hopefully stay as a happy memory for many ravers.]]>

17) Rufige Cru - Beachdrifta
While I stopped making DnB for many years I never stopped listening to it and still went out raving regularly. Fond memories of hearing this out. This track from the godfather Goldie is, to me, one of his finest works. The piano, the strings and the collision of darkness and light in perfect symphony.

18) Inta Warriors - Inta (Special Forces Remix)
The third Photek track on this selection on the mighty Prototype records. MC Flux on the lyrics and a stripped back junglistic steppa that still sounds so fresh today. I heard it for the first time at Sunday Sessions of the new venue of The Blue Note when it moved to Islington. I thought it wasn't possible to capture the spirit of the original Blue Note in the new venue but that night I heard music that made me realise that it didn't matter - dnb would keep progressing.

19) Marcus Intalex & ST Files - How you Make me Feel
Some artists just make simple, timeless music and just own their sound. Marcus Intalex was one of these people and this track one of many of his I frequently go back to. Squarely for the dancefloor and the soul.

20) Nas, Kanye West & The Dream - Everything (Missing & Axiomatic Remx)
I have been making jungle/dnb again since 2016 and am humbled by support I have had for my new productions so many years absent. This track of mine and collaborator Axiomatic we made this summer - a cheeky bootleg that has had a great reception with Radio 1 play by including Friction's Essential Mix. It will probably never come out but will hopefully stay as a happy memory for many ravers.]]> 2627245 no no Sun, 09 Dec 2018 10:04:40 +0100 2018-12-09T10:04:40+01:00 1:58:33 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/harmonic-sessions-004/

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: The Ragga Twins - DUB WARS
Title: DD0536
Style: Roots, Reggae, Dub, Soundsystem
Time: 82Minutes
Date: 2018-12-02

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week Dusk Dubs readies the sound system for another classic edition in "Dub Wars".

Now if you not familiar with 'Dub Wars'.... we invite two selectors to bring their records boxes to the ring, and go toe to toe, trading musical punches in a Dusk Dubs sound clash....

For this edition, we have invited 2 brothers..... 2 MC͛s that have been instrumental in shaping not only Mcing, but as Allmusic have stated ...."crucial cogs in the development of U.K. dance music".

The Ragga Twins aka Flinty Badman and Deman Rockers, originated as part of London's Unity Sound System, operating under the name in 1989. Through to 1992, they issued a pile of 12" singles, on the self-named label run by Shut Up & Dance (who also did the production work); Hooligan 69, Mixed Truth and Wipe the Needle along with the album Reggae Owes Me Money (1991); these releases, containing tracks like "Illegal Gunshot," "Spliffhead," and an early featured role on Shut Up & Dance's "Lamborghini," were bold steps forward, fiercely energetic mutations of dancehall, hip-hop, and jungle. They resurfaced in 1995 on EMI, and continued to release tracks intermittently into the 2000s.

The Ragga Twins' longest musical relationship is with another Dusk Dubs guest selector Aquasky, a partnership that was first cemented in 2001 when the tracks "All in Check ft. CoGee" and "Loko" were written for Botchit & Scarper. Four months later the tracks "Coffee" and "Dem No No We" were recorded for drum and bass label Moving Shadow, and in 2002, the drum and bass track "Dirty Entertainers" was recorded with Aquasky on their now defunct Sonix label.

In 2008, Soul Jazz Records issued a compilation album of their early 1990s recordings (notably their collaborations with production team/label Shut Up and Dance) entitled Ragga Twins Step Out͛.

To this day, they continue to be one of the most respected in-demand MC partnerships for underground events and it͛s a real honour to have these sound-system legends trade musical blows as they go head to head in a Dub Wars clash....

Get your scorecards primed, as the selectors are ready....

"These tunes chosen by The Ragga Twins for Dub Wars are special to us as they take us through 2 decades of reggae music before we became artists ourselves, to tracks that we was first to play on the sound system and chat on the versions , Tunes are from some of our favourite artists .

Enjoy" [[ Flinty Badman & Deman Rockers ]]

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This Sunday we invite a Manchester based musical don, Luke Unabomber, to compile an amazing volume for Dusk Dubs from his exhaustive record collection......

Luke has dug deep and provided a musical journey of epic proportions in true "Mancuso Style". 60 tracks based on memories of the mind and the soul, all with that authentic crackle and pop that only vinyl can give....

"A Room With No Corners Mix"

"It's 4 am and I never want you to leave, music Pour La Danse afters. Where we gather, in my flat, lost souls and the late night disenfranchised slowly holding on to the goodness. Lights down low and feeling warmth from odd numbers, basement soul and spiritual free form rhythms in a room with no corners and hope. I’ve gone deep into my archives to choose hidden gems, dark horses, off piste b-sides, ones that got away. Some old and some I’ve only just heard. Another side" [[ LUKE UNABOMBER ]]

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome producer and DJ Sicknote to the Dusk Dubs family, with a personal reflection of the music that has influenced him over the years.

Sicknote is the alias for Lewis Joyce’s solo work as a DJ, producer and recording artist - he is dedicated to the original art form and a vinyl and dubplate fanatic. Sicknote also has ongoing collaborations with Dissect, Sweetpea, Escher and Justice.

Watch out for Sicknote's new label "Stereocilia" and its inaugural release - "Sicknote & Escher – Rough Coast/Trouble 10" (STEREOCILIA001).

Limited to only 50 copies, this is a MUST.

"These are some selections from my vinyl collection that like to listen to from my collection that bring back memories of good times. The tracks that make your hair stand on end, you know the ones.” [[ Sicknote ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) 2814 - Before The Rain (Taken from 'Rain Temple' - Dream_777)
Was put onto this album through Rico at work, first listen I was blown away and instantly went and bagged the vinyl. Before the rain is one of my favourite tracks from the album, this track proper takes you on a journey, flying through a blade runner type metropolis.

2) Sade - Sweetest Taboo (Taken from 'Promise' – EPIC86318
Love this track and album. So many good Sade tracks but this is one of my favourites.

The mix on this is amazing. All the panning on the guitar and the way at one point they make the vocals move round like she is almost whispering in your ear. So good!

3) Rufus & Chaka Kahn - Ain't Nobody (Warner Bros Records)
I have picked this track mostly because it reminds of being a at home with my parents and also party's we had with family. This was always a track that would get played and still love it to this day.

4) Dilinja – Accurist (Test Recoridngs -TEST002 Misspress)
On the mispress of hardnoise/fluid. Remember finding out about this through my friend Ben and instantly went and bagged a copy. Second drop on this one is big!

5) Emptyset - Origin (Taken from 'Emptyset' – Recur – R-N151-2)
This whole album is dark! Full frequency assault from start to finish.

6) Transllusion - Dimensional Glide (Taken From 'Opening of The Cerebral Gate' – TRESOR270)
Love this track was hard to pick one from this album to be honest. I remember pre-selling this one in at work when I started in sales and it getting played in the office and everyone being excited about the repress. And have been hooked on that Drexyia vibe since.

7) WK7 – Avalanche (Power House Records – PH202)
Shed under one of his aliases. Remember going to Hardwax and buying this and another 12" from the same label. Hard hitting house music this.

8) Foul play - Dubing You (Oblivion Records – OR002)
Foul play vol 2 what a 12". Only recently fully appreciated these records and this track is a favourite.

9) Martyn - Cutting Tone (Taken from 'Voids' – OSTGUTLP29)
This tune is proper sick. Is like drum and bass garage and techno all in one.

10) Appleblim And Peveralist – Circles (Skull Disco – SKULL:08)
I remember my mate Ben dropping this on me whilst having a mix and me pulling one of those faces, you know the ones! Proper moody dubstep almost verging on dub techno

11) Special request – Capsules (Taken from 'Soul Music' – HTH012)
Been a massive fan of the Special Request stuff, soul music was a sick album and this is a favourite from the album.

12) Pessimist – Spirals (Taken from 'Pessimist' – BLACKESTLP017)
Really into what Pessamist is doing at the moment and his album on blackest ever black is killer. This is a favourite from that album

13) Mini Riperton - Inside My Love (Taken from 'Adventures In Paradise' – SN-16146)
Beautiful track from some one that died way to young. Amazing voice

14) Dexter Wansel - Rings of Saturn (Taken from 'Life On Mars' – PZ 340279)
Personal favourite from the man like Dexter. Big fan of all his stuff and went on a mission to buy all his records when I first heard his music.

15) Jeff mills – Alarms (Taken from 'Kat Moda EP' – PM-002)
The wizard! Everyone picks the bells from this 12”, which is an amazing tune but alarms is also just as banging.

16) Channel one – Technicolour (Metroplex – M-003)

Classic from Juan Atkins, this one is a favourite from his Metroplex label.

17) Virginia – Funkert (Taken from 'Virginia' – Fierce For the Night – OSTGUTLP22)

Love this album. So, so good. Played this on repeat for a long time when it came out. This is the single from the album, which is killer. There is a instrumental mix on the 12 sampler as well.

18) Joy Orbison – Off Season (Hinge Finger - HINF8679)
Wicked tune this one bit of a DJ tool / club banger, I like the weird off beat edits on this one.

19) Alexander O’neil – Criticize (Taken from 'Hearsay' – Tabu Records)
Another track that reminds me of my parents mostly my mum, I remember this being played along with others. Great album, amazing production. 80s at its best!]]>

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Record label co-owner Stuart Nicetraxuk to provide a journey through his musical history.

Stuart first started Djing in the late 80's early 90's firstly playing at clubs in Birmingham, then after going to the Humingbird club on a Friday (Snapper club), which was Birmingham's first full dance /acid house night, he started getting into the dance scene. He got a few early gig's in Birmingham before going off to Ibiza and Tenerife in 1990. Some time later, Stuart returned to the UK and carried on playing gigs and putting nights on in and around Birmingham, and going to rave's such as Amnesia, the Blackburn raves and the Hacienda, before moving to Aberdeen where he carried on playing and also worked in Airline records, In 97 Stuart moved to San Francisco and worked at Tweekin Records Djing all over California for the store. He returned in 2004 and retired from the scene, only to start back in 2012 with the brilliant NICETRAXUK Label

"Its not often you get the chance to play or record a set with music that has influenced or just made you sit up and take note. That also throws up the issue of how do I even decide what to play? So I didn’t.....this is totally off the cuff and with no real thought of programming except from random thoughts of my history in music and music that does have reference to me." [[ STUART ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) 808 State - Pacific 707
Hearing this and then seeing 808 State on top of the pops, I think was one of those ground breaking moments within the scene. It is a brilliant warehouse track and the sound was British - had Dance music arrived!!!!!!

2) My Bloody Valentine - Glider (Andrew Weatherall Remx)
Probably my favourite Andy Weatherall remix of all time. Just for the fact it was one of the first I had heard and to me was a total change in how to remix a track. Coming from an indie based band background, but now going to raves, it solidified my initiation into the dance scene bringing my favourite genres together. Just epic.

3) Radiohead - Planet Telex
It took me along time to become a Radiohead fan, but over the years the band and its music has really grown on me. That excites me, as it gives you faith that music is good and that something initially that you don’t acknowledge slowly gets into your head... and then it’s a light bulb moment.

4) Electribe 101 - Inside Out
It’s a Brummie thing, fantastic group and they were from my home town, what’s not to like.

5) Blow Monkeys - La Passionara
I was in Ibiza only once for a season back in 91, this was part of the compilation to that summer, fantastic Balearic sound and also crossover music again in its early roots.

6) Arthur Baker/New Order and Confusion - Walking On Sunshine
I’m a huge New Order and Joy Division fan, so was conscious of adding this to the selection, and then this popped up and it had to go on, just great early mash up mixing and they go together so well.

7) Metro Area - Proton Candy
When I was living in San Francisco and being part of Tweekin Records store, label and DJs, it was great to be really immersed in American underground music and the scene (pre EDM). When Metro Area came around, it just worked for me and many others, and this is one of my favourite tracks by them, but I could play them all.

8) UB40 - King
Growing up, UB40 was the sound of Birmingham and I think Reggae and its pop off shoots and more commercial or more acceptable UK sound was all a round us. But to be fair 'Present Arms' and 'Signing Off' were ground breaking albums and yet again that DIY spirit of doing it for yourself as the same as the dance scene yet again stands out.

9) UB40 - Sardonicas
Once I played one UB40 track I had to squeeze another one in, again the sound of my teenage years .

10) The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony – I just love this track.

11) Small Faces - Watcha Gonna Do About It
This is the Mrs’s influence. Being a MOD, she introduced me to this sort of music along with Northern Soul. Again its great to still be excited by music I may of not necessarily listened to all the time.

12) Happy Mondays – WFL (think about the future remix Paul Oakenfold) lost count how many times I went and watched the Mondays in the early 90’s I was more Mondays than Roses, but loved them both, so I had to play a Mondays track

13) Smiths - How Soon It Is
For me, it's really all about Johnny Marr, I did like the Smiths, but I loved his Guitar playing, again a throw back to my indie days in the mid to late 80’s.

14) Hardkiss - Raincry
So 8 years in San Francisco and Hardkiss was one of the driving forces to going there, then becoming friends with them and still to this day having contact and also all the other people, it was a huge part of my dance music life in fact more then the previous years of around 6 years prior to moving there in 96. It is the sound of the west coast 90’s.]]>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: DJ Trax
Title: DD0532
Style: Jazz, Downtempo, Funk, Alternative Rock, Disco
Time: 73 Minutes
Date: 2018-11-03

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we are once again humbled to welcome back our good friend DJ Trax to our DuskDubs Mixtape Series.

After already providing us with 3 incredible mixtapes, he now steps up and blesses us with another superb volume in pure Trax style

"​Big thanks for asking me back. This selection was carefully chosen from my racks. It starts of with some Jazz but defiantly goes on a few tangents. I know you Dusk Dubbers wouldn`t want it to straight and easy.....

**Tracklisting**

1) Yakhal Inkomo - Mankunku Quartet

What a track and what an album. This is exactly the type of jazz I love. Really warm and melodic. This album has been really sort after for years selling for upwards of a grand. Last year the album finally got a release outside of South Africa.

2) John Coltrane - Tunji

Taken from the self titled album on Impulse records in that amazing early 60`s period. I first heard this in a record shop in Norwich. The chords pulled me in straight away. Real deep jazz!

3) Dexter Gordon - A Night In Tunisia

I found the album 'Our Man In Paris' at a Bootsale for 50p - There are a couple of great tracks on the LP but I love the lyrical playing in this one.

4) Charles Mingus - II.B.S

I love this version! Taken from the 'Mingus Mingus Mingus' album. Again it`s from Impulse in the early 60`s period. I sampled the main bassline a few years back and then heard someone else had too so I scrapped it. I love how dynamic this track is. Cinematic, atmospheric and driving.

5) Head + Neck Sessions feat Becki Biggins - Far (Dancing Turtle)

10 years ago I was approached to remix a track by Amycanbe on Dancing Turtle Records. I then discovered Head and Neck sessions who were also signed to the label and in turn the amazing Becki Biggins. Becki is a Grammy nominated singer and saxophonist. We have worked together on various projects including 'All is Silent' with Naibu on Subtle Audio.

We will be working on fresh material in the new year. This track is where I first heard Becki`s amazing voice and I absolutely love it! Check her out here http://beckibiggins.com

6) Fug - Ready For Us

I featured this on a compilation on Hed Kandi called Winter Chill 2. I discovered this on Served Chilled 3 that HK released the following year.

It`s a beautiful track with all the right elements. I especially like the second half when the drummer takes things up a notch.

7) Toshio Matsuura Group - At Les

Hopefully most people reading this will know the Carl Craig`s classic `At Les`.

The very talented Toshino Matsuura is part of the legendary UFO. This version is taken from an EP I brought earlier in the year. It also features some excellent cover versions of some modern classics.

8) Nate Smith - Skip Step

Nate Smith is an incredibly talented drummer. I love his work with Jose James. This track is taken from his album Postcards from everywhere.

9) Cymande - Crawshay

'Ronnie Scotts' is one of my favourite places in the world. I have seen some amazing musicians there over the years. I have always loved Cymande but I went to see them at Ronnie`s earlier this year and it was undoubtedly the best gig I have ever seen.

They were truly amazing. I woke up the next day and brought fresh copies of four of their albums. They have such a unique sound. It`s a really fusion of styles that came out of the UK.

10) Mercury Rev - Holes

Bit of a tangent here! I was signed to part of 3MV in the late 90`s. They were a huge distribution company. The guy who ran the label gave me a lot of interesting records (Thank you Roger).

I love this record. It has such a bitter sweet atmosphere. The strings are beautiful and there are not many records with a bowed saw solo. The video is also really worth checking out.

11) Marti Caine - Love The Way You Love Me

A wicked groove from a very unlikely source. Marti Caine was a comedian and singer who was on TV a lot when I was growing up. I had no idea she made a track like this until a couple of years ago.

12) Ed Wizard + Disco Double Dee - Straight Up

I love the O.V Wright original. They done a great job with this re-edit. I discovered this version through the 'Nightmares on Wax Boiler Room set'. Which is well worth checking out. It`s an amazing set to a very muted audience!]]>

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we have the pleasure of inviting Exalt Records label owner Jamie Exalt, who takes us on a personal journey through music that has influenced him over the years.

Jamie Exalt has been on the scene or there abouts for 30 years. Progressing from the Under 18s events in the local hall to raves and parties around the London / Essex borders. Like many of his age, Steve Bicknell’s Lost parties will always be his most treasured rave memory.

He DJed (often quite badly) during the 90s and early 2000’s and was resident DJ for multi-media art collective OMSK, coordinating music for over 30 events in London, Cambridge, Brighton and Oslo.

Jamie started Exalt Records is 2003 with longtime friend Mark, with the simple aim of releasing good music from friends and associates of Mark’s record shop Hedonizm Records in Brighton. After a 10 year break Exalt Records has returned and is now run by Jamie in East London. There have been six releases in 2018 and much more to come in 2019. Jamie is also head tea boy and general dogs body at Exalt T-shirts.

**Tracklisting**

1) Marvin Gaye – Sexual Healing (1982)
When I heard this track I knew I was falling in love with music, cheesy but true…His voice and the simple beat in perfect harmony. If pushed to select my favourite record of all time, this would be it – fact!

2) Gwen McCrae - All This Love That I’m Giving (1979)
Re-released in 1988 this record was part of my transition from Hip-Hop to street soul and ultimately dance music. Soul II Soul and Alyson Williams also get a name check here.

3) Eric B & Rakim – My Melody (1986)
My brother Simon has a lot to answer for!! He let me hang out with his DJ friends, took me to record shops and my first Hip Hop concerts / parties. The album featuring this track soundtracked bath time before school for us both on countless occasions and for me Rakim is hands down the best rapper ever.

4) Uptown - Dope on Plastic (1989)
When I started going out to parties organised by friends, there was still a lot of Hip Hop being played. This track has the hard hitting beats needed to rock a dance floor and still sounds great to this day.

5) Reese – Rock to The Beat Mayday Mix (1989)
Although I’d heard some of Kevin’s production under his Innercity guise, this was definitely the sound of the future for me. First heard in 1991 on the Network Retro Techno compilation, leant to me by the boyfriend of a girl I worked with in South Woodford branch of Bejam.

6) Carl Craig / 69 – Desire (1994)
The most perfect electronic music track.

7) Aphex Twin – Ageispolis (1992)
Impossible to put a favourites track listing together without a track from Richard. Difficult to pick just one and could easily do a track listing just from him. The soundtrack to psychedelic experiments both near and far…

8) Balil – Parasight (1993)
Love all the early Black Dog stuff and this is hands down one of the best acid trance dance records to ever be released. I’ve only ever heard this record once in a club (The End) and with maximum strobes on, the energy on the dancefloor nearly tore the roof off.

9) Dillinja – The Angels Fell (1995)
Growing up in London I was of course exposed to Hardcore, Drum & Bass and Jungle and went to some great parties where those sounds were played. Dillinja’s drum programme has always set him apart from other producers and along with Photek is my favourite D&B producer.

10) Doc Scott – Tokyo Dawn (1996)
Went through a spell of buying quite a bit of D&B and this record is really something rather special. When the drums drop after the intro, it’s just pure gold. Reminds me of a NYE party I was DJing at (badly) in the late 90’s at a friend’s parents flat in the Docklands. I played this just as the sun was peeking through the curtains and at that point we all realised the cream carpet was absolutely ruined!

11) Alice Smith – Love Endeavour Maurice Fulton remix (2006)
It’s not often a remix stands head and shoulders above the original track. This for me is the best remix made in the last 15 years.

12) Moodymann – The Third Track (1996)
The pure raw genius of Kenny Dixon Jnr. comes through in this great track. Detroit strong.

13) Rhythm & Sound w/ Tikiman – Never Tell You (1996)
It’s Basic Channel innit. Was DJing (not so badly) in a pub in Brighton and a fella approached me and said that’s a Grace Jones bassline. At the time I didn’t know which track he was talking about but realised after sometime, that yes the bassline is very similar to…

14) Grace Jones – Private Life (1980)
Stone cold classic. See above…

15) Vangelis – Love Theme from Blade Runner (1982)
Soundtracks have always been a big part of my musical life. I used to play this pitched down in between acts at the OMSK shows, it sounds absolutely incredible through a loud system.

16) Ennio Morricone – Once Upon a Time in the West (1970)
My wife took me to see Ennio perform at the O2 arena a couple of years back for my birthday. I was absolutely blown away and the concert was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Another track I used to play at the OMSK events.

17) Acker Bilk – Stranger on the Shore (1961)

I first heard this as the intro to a documentary about the life of Buddy Holly when I was young. The opening scenes were from the cemetery where Buddy is buried and it was the first time I realised that music could perfectly soundtrack a moment and a feeling on screen.]]>

My brother Simon has a lot to answer for!! He let me hang out with his DJ friends, took me to record shops and my first Hip Hop concerts / parties. The album featuring this track soundtracked bath time before school for us both on countless occasions and for me Rakim is hands down the best rapper ever.

4) Uptown - Dope on Plastic (1989)
When I started going out to parties organised by friends, there was still a lot of Hip Hop being played. This track has the hard hitting beats needed to rock a dance floor and still sounds great to this day.

5) Reese – Rock to The Beat Mayday Mix (1989)
Although I’d heard some of Kevin’s production under his Innercity guise, this was definitely the sound of the future for me. First heard in 1991 on the Network Retro Techno compilation, leant to me by the boyfriend of a girl I worked with in South Woodford branch of Bejam.

6) Carl Craig / 69 – Desire (1994)
The most perfect electronic music track.

7) Aphex Twin – Ageispolis (1992)
Impossible to put a favourites track listing together without a track from Richard. Difficult to pick just one and could easily do a track listing just from him. The soundtrack to psychedelic experiments both near and far…

8) Balil – Parasight (1993)
Love all the early Black Dog stuff and this is hands down one of the best acid trance dance records to ever be released. I’ve only ever heard this record once in a club (The End) and with maximum strobes on, the energy on the dancefloor nearly tore the roof off.

9) Dillinja – The Angels Fell (1995)
Growing up in London I was of course exposed to Hardcore, Drum & Bass and Jungle and went to some great parties where those sounds were played. Dillinja’s drum programme has always set him apart from other producers and along with Photek is my favourite D&B producer.

10) Doc Scott – Tokyo Dawn (1996)
Went through a spell of buying quite a bit of D&B and this record is really something rather special. When the drums drop after the intro, it’s just pure gold. Reminds me of a NYE party I was DJing at (badly) in the late 90’s at a friend’s parents flat in the Docklands. I played this just as the sun was peeking through the curtains and at that point we all realised the cream carpet was absolutely ruined!

11) Alice Smith – Love Endeavour Maurice Fulton remix (2006)
It’s not often a remix stands head and shoulders above the original track. This for me is the best remix made in the last 15 years.

12) Moodymann – The Third Track (1996)
The pure raw genius of Kenny Dixon Jnr. comes through in this great track. Detroit strong.

13) Rhythm & Sound w/ Tikiman – Never Tell You (1996)
It’s Basic Channel innit. Was DJing (not so badly) in a pub in Brighton and a fella approached me and said that’s a Grace Jones bassline. At the time I didn’t know which track he was talking about but realised after sometime, that yes the bassline is very similar to…

14) Grace Jones – Private Life (1980)
Stone cold classic. See above…

15) Vangelis – Love Theme from Blade Runner (1982)
Soundtracks have always been a big part of my musical life. I used to play this pitched down in between acts at the OMSK shows, it sounds absolutely incredible through a loud system.

16) Ennio Morricone – Once Upon a Time in the West (1970)
My wife took me to see Ennio perform at the O2 arena a couple of years back for my birthday. I was absolutely blown away and the concert was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Another track I used to play at the OMSK events.

17) Acker Bilk – Stranger on the Shore (1961)

I first heard this as the intro to a documentary about the life of Buddy Holly when I was young. The opening scenes were from the cemetery where Buddy is buried and it was the first time I realised that music could perfectly soundtrack a moment and a feeling on screen.]]> 2479614 no no Sun, 28 Oct 2018 09:04:25 +0100 2018-10-28T09:04:25+01:00 1:33:37 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/the-full-spectrum-030/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week, we welcome Doug Millar to select for our Dusk Dubs Sunday Mixtape Series.

"I feel very humble to be asked to contribute to the list of Dusk Dubs compilations. I love the concept behind Dusk Dubs and all it stands for.

It is something greater than music ( if that is possible). It resonates love, people’s journeys in life and how people still have a values to make this world a better place. My list of songs is designed to give thanks to the people I love."​ [[DOUG]]

Stevie Wonder – Love Having You Around – Christmas 1975. My older brother Craig bought me Music of My Mind. H e was playing it in the lead up to Christmas on his Headphones and saying how good is this record. This is the opening song announcing a new phase in Stevie’s musical career. He was at the peak of his powers in the 1970’s. Peerless

Kamasi Washington – This man is an innovator. This song has so much warmth and humanity. I pay this as a tribute to all people who have shown integrity in times of great difficulty and hardship. I am thinking of Stephen Proctor. I am thinking of Tommy and Jon and all the people who live their life with a moral code. Do not accept mediocrity and bullshit.

J Dilla – Workinonit -Tommy talked about his love for J Dilla. I love early 10CC. A Win Win Situation Ensues.

LCD Soundsystem – Something Great. My son Lee has introduced to Techno Music. This is a good thing. Keep an open mind, This song is not strictly techno, but it reminds me of Lee and Wilson Logan doing their stuff. Quite inspirational for a 58 year old geezer.

Gino Vannelli – Love & Emotion – There was a record shop in Dundee called RG Forbes in the late 1970’s. Big Rob Adam was a great inspiration. He introduced me and my brothers to some amazing music. Steely Dan, The Crusaders, Johnny Guitar Watson, Patrice Rushen, Weather Report, Rufus, Ronnie Foster, etc. This is a song from the Brother to Brother LP and a tribute to Tom and Craig. My Brothers.

Matthew E White. Rock N Roll is Cold – I love this. It has an early Roxy feel, It has soul and humour. It makes me do some bad dad dancing on the top of a garden table. Even Bez would be thinking “ What the F---”

Quantic & Alice Russell – Travelling Song. A criminally underrated LP. Checked this out on the basis of a review in Mojo. Goldfrapp are similarly undervalued.

The Cinematic Orchestra – Evolution – I heard this on my car radio one night on a BBC Scotland Jazz Programme. From the first notes...... you just know...... Stop the car....... Listen....... Take a note of who it is...... been a fan ever since.

Radiohead – Desert Island Disk – So I voted Yes for Scotland to become an Independent Nation in 2014. This was not an easy decision. Not least because I love England. I posed a question at a debate in a pub about how we would manage our relationship with our neighbours , if Scotland was to become independent. I don’t love everything about England.... but what about the culture. I have come to the conclusion that I don’t like Little Scotlanders or Little Englanders. We are all citizens of the world. This song comes up with the refrain of hope “ a different kind of love is possible”..... and is pertinent in this time of Brexit, austerity, Chump and Rasputin.

Gary Clark – Nancy – Probably my favourite lyric to a song. I have worked with care experienced young people for a long time. I am currently working in a Primary School in Dundee. Some children and young people just need love.

Floating Points – Silhouttes – I think Miles Davis would have like dto worked with these guys if he was still alive,

Gil Scott Heron & Brian Jackson – This is a prayer for everybody in the world. I read a review of this record by Vivien Goldman in the NME in 1978. She said , “This is a beautiful record”. She was right. I think Tony Bennett should cover this. I was at Glastonbury in 1995 and hoped to see Gil on the Sunday evening. He did not show... Spearhead extended their set. They were good...... but Gil..... man.

Bjork – Cosmogony – Bjork is a marmite artist. This is genius. I saw this on Later. It conjurs images of the beginning of the world.

Portishead – Strangers – I attended T in the Park in 1998 on a Sunday. It pissed down all day. Trench foot was a possibility. Portishead were headlining in a big tent. I took refuge in the tent. My spirits were revived by watching this great band. They rocked. Beth Gibbons was sexy and owned the stage. I was on a high after the Gig. It was the day of the world cup final , Brazil v France. I was trying to avoid the score. I got back to Dundee, still on a high. The heavens opened . I refused to get in a taxi and walked home still thinking about that Gig.

Pat Metheny – Above the Treetops – I met my friend Peter Allan. We found out we had a similar taste in music. He is a massive Pat fan. He wrote a song for my wedding. A really nice song.

Bill Withers – Sweet Wanomi – I was on my first holiday with Karen in Bordrum in Turkey. We found this bar with a beautiful sea view and stunning coastline. A Bill Withers compilation was playing. Bill has a simple and profound way of expressing his music. This song reminds me of a special time with my beautiful wife.

The Beatles – Strawberry Fields Forever – I was aged 13. It was a Sunday. Ii heard my brother playing this weird song. I loved it. Who is that? Its the Beatles. Your kidding. My knowledge of the Beatles was very limited . I wanna hold your hand and yellow submarine. We had bowls with we used for breakfast, soup and pudding with pictures of the Beatles from 1963.. One by one we broke the bowls. Used to fight with my brothers over who got the Beatles bowl. This song opened up my world.

Tom Waits – I beg your pardon dear. This is from the Soundtrack to “ One from the Heart” a Francis Ford Coppola musical. Some moments of greatness in this film. My mum and dad loved this song. I owe a debt of gratitude to them for ontroducing me to some great music. My dad always liked singers who had the “ smoke2.

Tom Misch ( featuring Loyle Carner) – Water Baby – Always look to discover new music. This is released from this year. Could someone tell me what song is sampled on this song. Minnie Riperton?

Georgie Fame – Peaceful – This song is me..... or I like to think it is.

Artist: Nibbers
Title: DD0529
Style: Dub, Soul, House, Funk, Jazz
Time: 94 Minutes
Date: 2018-10-14

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week, we welcome back our good friend, avid record collector and 'Selector Extraordinaire' Andrea Nibbers, with another of his wonderful musical stories.

"This is another of my stories, talked through the medium of recorded music. There’s a quote in the Charlie Chaplin’s film dedicated to the life of (possibly) the greatest comedian of all time (edit: the one with the incredible Robert Downey junior) where he says something on the lines of: “If you want to know me, watch my films”… well, I steal and re-arrange that quote by saying:” If you want to know who I am, listen to the music I love”. Not that I would compare myself to Charlie Chaplin of course but you get the idea…

As ever, my ideas of dubby tunes that you might want to listen at dusk can differ from the majority of those who have and will put together their own selections for this incredible project (props to all the ones involved for making it happen consistently since 5 years and counting) but that’s the beauty of music ultimately. We express ourselves through it, the tracks we love always represent an intimate part of who we are, part of our memories, part of our baggage. Music is deeply personal for me and I take any selection, dj gig, studio mix very very seriously. Misrepresenting my output and/or talking to the wrong crowd would feel like walking in a room with no clothes on full of strangers staring. Vaguely awkward. Time to listen now, never mind the rest.

Thanks to the Dusk Dubs family for asking me again to provide and present to all of you another slice of some of my favourite records, alongside the ramblings of a man past his sell date. Only my wife has managed to survive that in 16 years living elbow to elbow with me.

Until the next time, I salute you. ​Enjoy x"

**Tracklisting**

1) David Crosby – Orleans
This is the best Intro to this selection I could think of, a tone setter for what’s to come. Sampled (or vulgarly said “lifted”) entirely by Psychemagik (as most of you will no doubt already be aware of), one of those golden nuggets that comes out of nowhere. From the majestic album of David Crosby “If I Could Only Remember My Name”(Thank you Rob… you know why)

2) Cigarettes After Sex – K
Melancholic indie tinged of opium traces and long nights spent with the firm proposition of changing your entire life as soon as dawn creeps in. This tune captures one of those comedowns when your return to Planet Earth makes you long for comfort foods and your favourite sofa to dribble on. Absolutely and painfully beautiful.

3) Bombay Hotel – Between Leaves
Discovered courtesy of that mega compilation put together by one of my favourite selectors ever: the mighty Moonboots of Aficionado fame. Released in 2017, if you haven’t got this downtempo goldmine, you are either mad or deaf or both. Or simply you don’t belong to the universe I resonate with . Fair enough, each to their own. A dubby laid back Balearic gem to listen to by the sea at dusk (funnily enough).

4) Soul Media – Breeze
A little sleazy jazz number from the 1970s that got re-pressed for Record Store Day this year. Not that I ever bother to go and queue for hours (or even camp by the shop since the night before, like some seem to do) for the exclusivity of a flogged dead horse painted in gold but I really wanted this record and I have of course missed out on it when it got released on juno (probably for a total of 5 copies). As always, I ended up paying through my nose for this beauty. The original LP or the repress from 2015 goes for stupid money on discogs so I counted my blessings when I copped this 7” for a reasonable (not really) amount of cash .. alright nothing to see here… . I am sucker for this laid back jazz fusion tracks, what can you do? It must be my age…

5) Idjut Boys & Laj – Slateo
Pitched down drums, dubby echoes, hypnotic groove. One of those records that you would like to hear over and over and never stop. Well it’s around 8 minutes mark so make sure you do enjoy those fully while getting lost in the ride. I love the Idjut Boys ,I really do.

6) Vania Bastos – Tabu
Yes, you guessed a cover of the iconic soulful queen of the 1980s: Sade. Sade is in my opinion amazing even though you will find a lot of people disagreeing … this record is also great and comes courtesy of the recent compilation of obscure synthesized brazillian hits kindly pressed by Soundway. Not every cover I like, this one I do and makes me smile. So there you go.

7) Sam Dees – Signed Miss Heroin
I have discovered this beauty thanks to my good friend, vinyl junkie and all round music lover: Philip Wells (Phil Basement for those who know his dj/artistic moniker).

You need to listen to the lyrics… there’s not a lot I can tell you: just listen to the whole tune. It’s an incredibly poignant piece of soul. Incredible record. 10/10

8) Atelje – Zephyr
We enter the cosmic and progressively psychedelic phase of my selection. A mini journey represented by each tune I have chosen. This is the intro and what an intro. You get lost in a maze of layers of sounds. My idea of dub (broadly intended) as a feel more than a genre. One of those tunes that you need to take in without being distracted by anyone, unless you are prepared to kill the invasive presence (being a human, animal or inanimate object of choice) distracting your meditative listen. Or something on those lines. Me being bit obsessive? Never…

9) No-Man – Heaven Taste
If no one has managed to ruin your cathartic experience set by the tune above, you can get even more beautifully lost with this one…oh boy.. on this 12” there’s a tasty remix of Jimi Tenor on the flip too for added joy, I do however prefer the original take… Synths galore. The soundtrack to the heavenly road to Utopia.

10) Sir Richard Bishop – Mirage
Melancholic guitar in a neo classical fashion? I’ll have that, thank you very much. Close your eyes and be transported somewhere in North Africa, at the end of a baking hot day, while staring at the sunset, trying to convince yourself that living in a city like London is the most sensible choice. Get the idea? No? Me neither. Get drinking and forget about our human slightly miserable condition, while dancing on the waves of the masterful arpeggios of Sir Richard Bishop (is he really a Sir? He should be if the music of this album is anything to go by)

11) The Main Stem – Since I left You
I have discovered this Norwegain (of all places) piece of tinged fusion, trippy beauty courtesy of the impeccable taste of my good Brummie mate Robert Johnston. The guy has a monumental encyclopedic knowledge about great soulful music, only second to his love for red wine. Rob, I dearly love you. One of a kind, you are. Back to this beauty, it completes the mini psychedelic journey into your head and heart, passing through your soul. Too good. Forget about the Prins Thomas Miks on the flip, here the original steals completely the show.. so good. Listen ad come back to me to tell me differently, I dare you.

12) Blank & Jones – Good (Leo Mas & Fabrice Remix)
What a remix this is .. .simple (simplicity is rarity in music and achieved by very few) and so effective. A mid tempo gem masterfully put together by the experienced duo (part of the original holy triad: Leo Mas, Fabrice , Gemolotto) . The experienced ears of two djs who have seen it all and more and still know how to simply touch your heart and soul. That piano line is something to swoon at. The warm hug of a friend lost but safely found years later by complete coincidence. Moving record.

13) Electronic System III – Skylab
Now this is a very sought after slice of downtempo, psychedelic fusion (for use of a better description). A monster record from the 1970s that, thank the Lord, got repressed with a generous one side 12” on its own on the Funky Chimes Part One compilation (the original LP will set you back 300 pounds at least – that if you ever see it on sale anywhere). A selection of Belgian Grooves from the 70s ( I quote from the cover here). There are no words to describe the immensity of the record. Better than sex, when sex is great and possibly more (unless you don’t like music, in which case probably you may find this description a tad overstated..). An epic journey into the melancholic territory of jazz, soul, easy listening (in the best sense of the word here) while experiencing the best natural high you could possibly imagine. I know I get carried away a bit with words but let me state this again: I absolutely adore this record. And so should you, if you have any soul left.]]>

Style: Dub, Soul, House, Funk, Jazz
Time: 94 Minutes

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week, we welcome back our good friend, avid record collector and 'Selector Extraordinaire' Andrea Nibbers, with another of his wonderful musical stories.

"This is another of my stories, talked through the medium of recorded music. There’s a quote in the Charlie Chaplin’s film dedicated to the life of (possibly) the greatest comedian of all time (edit: the one with the incredible Robert Downey junior) where he says something on the lines of: “If you want to know me, watch my films”… well, I steal and re-arrange that quote by saying:” If you want to know who I am, listen to the music I love”. Not that I would compare myself to Charlie Chaplin of course but you get the idea…

As ever, my ideas of dubby tunes that you might want to listen at dusk can differ from the majority of those who have and will put together their own selections for this incredible project (props to all the ones involved for making it happen consistently since 5 years and counting) but that’s the beauty of music ultimately. We express ourselves through it, the tracks we love always represent an intimate part of who we are, part of our memories, part of our baggage. Music is deeply personal for me and I take any selection, dj gig, studio mix very very seriously. Misrepresenting my output and/or talking to the wrong crowd would feel like walking in a room with no clothes on full of strangers staring. Vaguely awkward. Time to listen now, never mind the rest.

Thanks to the Dusk Dubs family for asking me again to provide and present to all of you another slice of some of my favourite records, alongside the ramblings of a man past his sell date. Only my wife has managed to survive that in 16 years living elbow to elbow with me.

Until the next time, I salute you. ​Enjoy x"

**Tracklisting**

1) David Crosby – Orleans
This is the best Intro to this selection I could think of, a tone setter for what’s to come. Sampled (or vulgarly said “lifted”) entirely by Psychemagik (as most of you will no doubt already be aware of), one of those golden nuggets that comes out of nowhere. From the majestic album of David Crosby “If I Could Only Remember My Name”(Thank you Rob… you know why)

2) Cigarettes After Sex – K
Melancholic indie tinged of opium traces and long nights spent with the firm proposition of changing your entire life as soon as dawn creeps in. This tune captures one of those comedowns when your return to Planet Earth makes you long for comfort foods and your favourite sofa to dribble on. Absolutely and painfully beautiful.

3) Bombay Hotel – Between Leaves
Discovered courtesy of that mega compilation put together by one of my favourite selectors ever: the mighty Moonboots of Aficionado fame. Released in 2017, if you haven’t got this downtempo goldmine, you are either mad or deaf or both. Or simply you don’t belong to the universe I resonate with . Fair enough, each to their own. A dubby laid back Balearic gem to listen to by the sea at dusk (funnily enough).

4) Soul Media – Breeze
A little sleazy jazz number from the 1970s that got re-pressed for Record Store Day this year. Not that I ever bother to go and queue for hours (or even camp by the shop since the night before, like some seem to do) for the exclusivity of a flogged dead horse painted in gold but I really wanted this record and I have of course missed out on it when it got released on juno (probably for a total of 5 copies). As always, I ended up paying through my nose for this beauty. The original LP or the repress from 2015 goes for stupid money on discogs so I counted my blessings when I copped this 7” for a reasonable (not really) amount of cash .. alright nothing to see here… . I am sucker for this laid back jazz fusion tracks, what can you do? It must be my age…

5) Idjut Boys & Laj – Slateo
Pitched down drums, dubby echoes, hypnotic groove. One of those records that you would like to hear over and over and never stop. Well it’s around 8 minutes mark so make sure you do enjoy those fully while getting lost in the ride. I love the Idjut Boys ,I really do.

6) Vania Bastos – Tabu
Yes, you guessed a cover of the iconic soulful queen of the 1980s: Sade. Sade is in my opinion amazing even though you will find a lot of people disagreeing … this record is also great and comes courtesy of the recent compilation of obscure synthesized brazillian hits kindly pressed by Soundway. Not every cover I like, this one I do and makes me smile. So there you go.

7) Sam Dees – Signed Miss Heroin
I have discovered this beauty thanks to my good friend, vinyl junkie and all round music lover: Philip Wells (Phil Basement for those who know his dj/artistic moniker).

You need to listen to the lyrics… there’s not a lot I can tell you: just listen to the whole tune. It’s an incredibly poignant piece of soul. Incredible record. 10/10

8) Atelje – Zephyr
We enter the cosmic and progressively psychedelic phase of my selection. A mini journey represented by each tune I have chosen. This is the intro and what an intro. You get lost in a maze of layers of sounds. My idea of dub (broadly intended) as a feel more than a genre. One of those tunes that you need to take in without being distracted by anyone, unless you are prepared to kill the invasive presence (being a human, animal or inanimate object of choice) distracting your meditative listen. Or something on those lines. Me being bit obsessive? Never…

9) No-Man – Heaven Taste
If no one has managed to ruin your cathartic experience set by the tune above, you can get even more beautifully lost with this one…oh boy.. on this 12” there’s a tasty remix of Jimi Tenor on the flip too for added joy, I do however prefer the original take… Synths galore. The soundtrack to the heavenly road to Utopia.

10) Sir Richard Bishop – Mirage
Melancholic guitar in a neo classical fashion? I’ll have that, thank you very much. Close your eyes and be transported somewhere in North Africa, at the end of a baking hot day, while staring at the sunset, trying to convince yourself that living in a city like London is the most sensible choice. Get the idea? No? Me neither. Get drinking and forget about our human slightly miserable condition, while dancing on the waves of the masterful arpeggios of Sir Richard Bishop (is he really a Sir? He should be if the music of this album is anything to go by)

11) The Main Stem – Since I left You
I have discovered this Norwegain (of all places) piece of tinged fusion, trippy beauty courtesy of the impeccable taste of my good Brummie mate Robert Johnston. The guy has a monumental encyclopedic knowledge about great soulful music, only second to his love for red wine. Rob, I dearly love you. One of a kind, you are.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week, we invite back producer, DJ and artist Wrongtom, with a follow up to his previous 'Teenage Dubs' selection. This time a collection of 2nd hand records he picked up during in his teens...

"Teenage Dubs 2: Charity Shop Boogaloo".

"Last time I crossed the threshold of Dusk Dubs HQ I brought a sack of records I’d discovered in my teens, a selection which told the rough tale of my musical journey from the age of 13 and into my 20s. There was so much to pick from that I had to forgo any old records I’d stumbled upon in my quest for the perfect beat which led me through countless charity shops, market stalls and musty second hand stores.

Beyond all the modern soul, acid jazz, ragga and hip hop I was picking up, I spent a lot of my teens listening to old funk, jazz, reggae, dub, and loads of other oddities. Sometimes on dancefloors, sometimes with friends but often on my own by the record player, and almost everyday on trains and busses to school, college and work. So here’s part 2 featuring 18 old records which soundtracked my awkward years from the late 80s onwards..." [WRONGTOM]

**Tracklisting**

1) Augustus Pablo - The Big Rip Off

Sometime around the late 80s I was following my brother around the record stalls in Greenwich market. Still fresh to the world of buying vinyl - I owned a few records but wouldn’t be bitten by the bug til I got a job - I was fascinated by the oddities he pulled out, and lost in a world of FX and bass when we returned home with Augustus Pablo’s Ital Dub LP and Joe Gibbs’ African Dub 4. They’re both still top of my list, especially this track.

2) 20th Century Steel Band - Heaven And Hell Is On Earth

The world of discovering other people’s samples is often disappointing but I’ve sometimes found it a revelation when you hear the rest of a track. I’d heard the “children growing, women producing...” line repeatedly through the 80s on various tunes and mixes but I wasn’t expecting the steelband-disco-funk that followed when I finally heard the full track kick in. My dad played me calypso records when I was a kid, he loved the lyrics, I was a fan, so hearing steel pans over funk, in hindsight feels like a galvanising moment.

3) Prince - Lady Cab Driver

With an entire shelf of my records collection dedicated to Prince and entourage, it’s strange to imagine a time when I wasn’t that into him. I liked the singles of course so I definitely like Prince, but no more than, say, Cameo, Michael Jackson or Peter Gabriel. Then, in 1988 I heard ‘Alphabet Street’ and rushed out to buy my first Prince LP, Lovesexy, and after repeated plays, counted out my pocket money and slowly started pilfering his back catalogue.

It’s almost impossible to pick one track but hearing 1999 in full was a hallelujah moment and this ‘Lady Cab Driver’ alone is an insight into his oblique vision. Fluid instrumentation dances around rigid electro-funk drums. It’s upbeat yet kind of sad, and it all gets pretty desperate when he simulates sex with the titular cab driver exclaiming “this is for why I wasn’t born like my brother, handsome and tall” whilst seagulls chirp in the background.

4) Cymande - The Message

Another classic sample. I played the shit out of ‘Me & The Biz’ by Master Ace in my GCSE years. On first hearing Cymande’s eponymous LP I was struck by how many riffs I recognised from hip hop tunes, and ‘The Message’ particularly grabbed my attention with it’s skanky organ-heavy funk. I’d later discover they were from South London. Later still I’d wind up watching members of the group jamming in the Effra pub in Brixton. Tracks like Fug and Bra became weekly staples in the 90’s at my friend Pony’s funk night in Kingston, and we soon discovered that our friend Lee who worked the door was the nephew of one of the band (was he the bassist? Trumpeter? I can’t remember).

5) Eugene McDaniels - Jagger The Dagger

A Tribe Called Quest marked a big moment in my listening habits. Their choice of samples delved deep into a world of overlooked soul-jazz, testament to which was the Tribes Vibes comps which compiled as many as they could muster. Years before that I was especially taken with the loping skit peppered throughout their debut LP, and even more so when I heard it in full in the mix on a pirate, I forget who played it but the vocal harmonies which become increasingly dissonant as the track expands are almost terrifying, like listening into some kind of jazz-funk fuelled satanic ritual. Sold! I became obsessed with the Left Rev McD and if someone doesn’t tell the bizarre story of his Headless Heroes album which enraged the Nixon administration, then I’m gonna have to somehow do it myself.

6) The 5th Dimension - Love Lines Angels & Rhymes

I was stabbing around in the dark with little more than pocket change when I first started digging for records. Bargain bins and forgotten corners of charity shops were my chosen spots, and in fact still are. I’d splash out 50p on many a record based on a cover photo, or a nice typeface. I’d generally check the credits to see if they featured somewhat esoteric instruments like percussion, double bass, synths etc. This album ticked many of those boxes, and whilst The 5th Dimension were more easy listening than classic funk, they had their moments including nice covers of Ticket To Ride, Sunshine Of Your Love, and on this LP, a wiggy Hair-esque number with some wild tambourine shaking in the crescendo.

7) Toots & The Maytals - Pressure Drop

I’m pretty sure I heard ‘Pressure Drop’ years before this but it wasn’t until I was about 14ish that I finally saw Jimmy Cliff in The Harder They Come, and was struck hard by the electrifying performance of ‘Pressure Drop’ by Toots & The Maytals. Since then it’s rare that I’ve heard a Toots tune that hasn’t made me stop dead in my tracks to listen. I once heard his voice across a field at a festival and found myself unconsciously running towards him, the resulting show was like a religious experience, perhaps the flipside to first hearing ‘Jagger The Dagger’ by McDaniels.

8) The Jackson Sisters - I Believe In Miracles

I was a very fresh-faced 16 year old. Today I’d have no chance of getting into clubs, even with fake ID but fortunately in 1991, the world was a terrifying place for parents, which afforded sweaty young guttersnipes like myself the opportunity to get into various fleabag bars and clubs with security handled by local biker gangs.

One such place was a stinky former wine cellar called Bacchus in Kingston Upon Thames. I was taken there by friends I’d made in my first job at a supermarket, and it is without a shadow of a doubt, a night which changed my life. Essentially an indie night, the “Dodgy Club” was a party run by a local(ish) band called Dodgy who’d self-released a couple of jangly sunshine pop singles. This was indeed that Dodgy who’d later ride the crest of Brit-pop with their infuriatingly catchy ‘Good Enough’ but in ‘91 all I knew was they had a DJ called Chris Slade who, amongst dance floor friendly indy like Primal Scream and The Soup Dragons, dropped ‘I Believe In Miracles’ by The Jackson Sisters. This was the moment, my brain lost control and my legs took over as the moog and drums pumped out of Bacchus’ shitty old sound system. He then dropped ‘Across The Tracks’ by Maceo Parker and, like a first acid trip or discovering your dad was a porn star*, my world was never the same again.

*Not my dad I should add.

9) Herbie Mann - Memphis Two-Step

Another record I picked up on the cheap on the strength of the cover alone: a psychedelic solarised shot of Herbie in a straw hat, shades and his goatee which he’d kept since his more beatnik days. Herbie Mann is much maligned by some of the record-bore cognoscenti but I fell for his music pretty quickly and there’s some real gems in his catalogue, including this number which features some amazing vibes-work from Roy Ayers.

10) Pharoah Sanders - The Creator Has A Masterplan

I’d been watching and listening to jazz most of my young life but a chance encounter with a guy I can’t remember the name of in the bin room of Waitrose, New Malden where I worked in the early 90s, led me down the wilder side of the genre. It started with a conversation about hip hop. Gang Starr, BDP, Tribe etc and of course their samples. He couldn’t believe I’d never heard Coltrane’s My Favourite Things LP so the following week he lent me a copy.

We talked more, I started digging deeper. I started reading Straight No Chaser magazine. I bought beads, cords, various furry hats. I should probably be embarrassed but I’m not. Most importantly, after playing ‘Leg In The Sea Of History’ by Galliano to death, I discovered it was based on ‘The Creator Has A Masterplan’ by Pharoah Sanders and my ears have been scorched by fire-music ever since.

11) Violent Femmes - Prove My Love

I mentioned in my previous Dusk Dubs that I didn’t really listen to much rock music until I went to college. I was turned onto various bands like Pixies, Telescopes, Pavement etc. There was one that really resonated though, the timeless sound of skiffle punk by a trio of Milwaukie kids sounding like degenerates who’d robbed the school marching band so they could perform Gordon Gano’s ratbag love songs.

I had no idea at the time that this album actually came out in the early 80s. It still sounds fresh to this day, and it’s perfect from start to finish.

12) Jeff Britton & The Spitfires - Rub Out

I picked this out of a box of 30p 7”s in about 1992. It’s a strange kind of glam-electro-funk hybrid produced by Martin Rushent in the mid 70s before he made synth pop with Human League. Someone nicked it from my bag at one of my early gigs, and on the rare occasion I’ve seen a copy since, it’s 100 times the price I originally paid.

Anyway, jump to a couple of years back and I got a call from my old mate Colin who wanted some advice about a tune on an advert by The Horrors which had ripped off one of his dad’s records. I’d known Colin since school yet I somehow didn’t know his dad was even a musician. Low and behold they’d ripped off ‘Rub Out’. We chatted some more, turned out his dad was the guitarist in rock n roll revival band Wild Angels, another band I’d bought on my early digs, on the strength of the cover alone.

Colin’s dad was the guitarist on Rub Out. We briefly discussed covering it featuring his dad reprising his role on guitar - Wrongtom Meets The Spitfires - but like a lot of my projects, I’ve yet to find a moment to put this one to tape.

13) Har-You Percussion Group - Welcome To The Party

I took up percussion in my teens, thanks in part to so many of these records I was buying. My folks gave me some congas for my 18th birthday and I started devouring any track that featured them. I think I picked this one up at first because the textless front cover looked remarkably like a Young Disciples sleeve - even the graphic designers were sampling - but on reading the story of the Har-You Percussion group in the liner notes, I couldn’t wait to get this record home and start battering away over the top.

I played Welcome To The Party at my first ever DJ gig in 1995, and I’m still dropping it in my sets to this day.

14) Art Ensemble Of Chicago - Theme De Yoyo

Summer 1993. I’d just finished my A-Levels and turned 18. I was in that dizzying axis of having the world at my feet and having absolutely no idea what to do. My friend Tom called me up to see if I fancied coming to a gig with him and his mate Forest, I’d never met a Forest before or since. I’d heard of the Art Ensemble but I don’t think I’d heard any of their records at this point. So we headed to Union Chapel in Islington and once again, my world changed.

I sat stunned for a couple of hours on my pew. The first half of the set building from sporadic whistles and bell shaking to frenetic free-jazz workouts from the core quintet, followed by the gradual introduction of another group, the Chicago Blues Tradition, until the stage was full with a dense and unstoppable barrage of free-blues and gospel. Another religious experience without God having to get involved.

I failed my A-levels and went back to college in the autumn.

15) Sopwith Camel - Fazon

Following that I formed a band with some cohorts I’d met whilst playing in another, uncomfortably proggy group. We were pooling our influences for the new band, and one member was especially well versed in jazz-rock and late 60s R&B among other things. Rob was a guitarist on the cusp of developing a serious obsession with the hammond organ. I’d often while away the hours in his kitchen with a soundtrack of Colosseum, Black Widow, early Steve Miller etc. There was one band and, more importantly, one song which I foolishly never found out the name of and spent years trying to remember until finally I recognised the album cover. Here it is, it’s perfect.

16) Juniors Eyes - Black Snake

So, my aforementioned band, the appallingly named Ganesha Traffic (my fault, sorry), we never gigged. I’m not even sure if we actually finished one song but we had fun jamming, and more importantly we made a new friend in our vocalist Sarah. The night she auditioned we dropped her back home and met her parents. A lovely pair of former hippies in a ramshackle house full of paintings and instruments belonging to her dad Mick, otherwise known as “One Take” Mick thanks to his prowess as a session guitarist, the results of which you have definitely heard on ‘Space Oddity’ by David Bowie.

Rob and I quickly became good friends with Mick, prompting him for grubby stories from the sixties, and playing on tracks recorded in his living room studio in Tolworth. He died a year or so later whilst on tour in the states but his legacy lives on, especially on this track by his band Juniors Eyes on which he sang lead before they’d settled on a permanent vocalist.

17) Grady Tate - Be Black Baby

In ‘94 I went to art school to focus on graphics but a few polarising factors led me to spend most of my time listening to music, buying music, playing music, dancing to music, you get the picture. Sometimes I’d stay in though, and it was one of these nights, sat up late on my own flicking through cable channels that I settled on an early Brian De Palma film called Hi Mom ! starring a young DeNiro as a drifting artist, and his journey through porn, into off-off-off-Broadway theatre with a black-militant group, and onto terrorism. A timeless tale.

Holding it all together was this amazing record by Grady Tate, which by chance my friend Pony started playing at his club night The Great Escape.

18) Sergio Mendes & Brasil ‘66 - For What It’s Worth

Yes, as mentioned above, around 1993 I met a guy called Pony handing out flyers for a club night called Madonna’s Kitten. I went, I danced, we made friends, he started a Thursday night session at the previously mentioned Bacchus in Kingston. I danced some more. Friends started joining me on the dance floor, some travelled in from the stix, others from the big smoke, and we continued dancing until he finally jacked it in almost a decade later to focus on his Small World festival stage.

Some of the happiest moments of my teens were spent on this dancefloor, making bizarre shapes and doing freeform footwork which wowed and perplexed other punters equally.

Mendes’ version of ‘For What It’s Worth’ was often the final track of the night. In fact one night my friend Christoph was in town for the first time in ages, Pony started playing it mid set and I watched this inebriated Frenchman checking his watch in the confusion, evidently worried that he’d missed last orders.

I wouldn’t relive my teens if you paid me but these records, and the friends, relationships and moments surrounding them were definitely some of the highlights.]]>

Sometime around the late 80s I was following my brother around the record stalls in Greenwich market. Still fresh to the world of buying vinyl - I owned a few records but wouldn’t be bitten by the bug til I got a job - I was fascinated by the oddities he pulled out, and lost in a world of FX and bass when we returned home with Augustus Pablo’s Ital Dub LP and Joe Gibbs’ African Dub 4. They’re both still top of my list, especially this track.

2) 20th Century Steel Band - Heaven And Hell Is On Earth

The world of discovering other people’s samples is often disappointing but I’ve sometimes found it a revelation when you hear the rest of a track. I’d heard the “children growing, women producing...” line repeatedly through the 80s on various tunes and mixes but I wasn’t expecting the steelband-disco-funk that followed when I finally heard the full track kick in. My dad played me calypso records when I was a kid, he loved the lyrics, I was a fan, so hearing steel pans over funk, in hindsight feels like a galvanising moment.

3) Prince - Lady Cab Driver

With an entire shelf of my records collection dedicated to Prince and entourage, it’s strange to imagine a time when I wasn’t that into him. I liked the singles of course so I definitely like Prince, but no more than, say, Cameo, Michael Jackson or Peter Gabriel. Then, in 1988 I heard ‘Alphabet Street’ and rushed out to buy my first Prince LP, Lovesexy, and after repeated plays, counted out my pocket money and slowly started pilfering his back catalogue.

It’s almost impossible to pick one track but hearing 1999 in full was a hallelujah moment and this ‘Lady Cab Driver’ alone is an insight into his oblique vision. Fluid instrumentation dances around rigid electro-funk drums. It’s upbeat yet kind of sad, and it all gets pretty desperate when he simulates sex with the titular cab driver exclaiming “this is for why I wasn’t born like my brother, handsome and tall” whilst seagulls chirp in the background.

4) Cymande - The Message

Another classic sample. I played the shit out of ‘Me & The Biz’ by Master Ace in my GCSE years. On first hearing Cymande’s eponymous LP I was struck by how many riffs I recognised from hip hop tunes, and ‘The Message’ particularly grabbed my attention with it’s skanky organ-heavy funk. I’d later discover they were from South London. Later still I’d wind up watching members of the group jamming in the Effra pub in Brixton. Tracks like Fug and Bra became weekly staples in the 90’s at my friend Pony’s funk night in Kingston, and we soon discovered that our friend Lee who worked the door was the nephew of one of the band (was he the bassist? Trumpeter? I can’t remember).

5) Eugene McDaniels - Jagger The Dagger

A Tribe Called Quest marked a big moment in my listening habits. Their choice of samples delved deep into a world of overlooked soul-jazz, testament to which was the Tribes Vibes comps which compiled as many as they could muster. Years before that I was especially taken with the loping skit peppered throughout their debut LP, and even more so when I heard it in full in the mix on a pirate, I forget who played it but the vocal harmonies which become increasingly dissonant as the track expands are almost terrifying, like listening into some kind of jazz-funk fuelled satanic ritual. Sold! I became obsessed with the Left Rev McD and if someone doesn’t tell the bizarre story of his Headless Heroes album which enraged the Nixon administration, then I’m gonna have to somehow do it myself.

6) The 5th Dimension - Love Lines Angels & Rhymes

I was stabbing around in the dark with little more than pocket change when I first started digging for records. Bargain bins and forgotten corners of charity shops were my chosen spots, and in fact still are. I’d splash out 50p on many a record based on a cover photo, or a nice typeface. I’d generally check the credits to see if they featured somewhat esoteric instruments like percussion, double bass, synths etc. This album ticked many of those boxes, and whilst The 5th Dimension were more easy listening than classic funk, they had their moments including nice covers of Ticket To Ride, Sunshine Of Your Love, and on this LP, a wiggy Hair-esque number with some wild tambourine shaking in the crescendo.

7) Toots & The Maytals - Pressure Drop

I’m pretty sure I heard ‘Pressure Drop’ years before this but it wasn’t until I was about 14ish that I finally saw Jimmy Cliff in The Harder They Come, and was struck hard by the electrifying performance of ‘Pressure Drop’ by Toots & The Maytals. Since then it’s rare that I’ve heard a Toots tune that hasn’t made me stop dead in my tracks to listen. I once heard his voice across a field at a festival and found myself unconsciously running towards him, the resulting show was like a religious experience, perhaps the flipside to first hearing ‘Jagger The Dagger’ by McDaniels.

8) The Jackson Sisters - I Believe In Miracles

I was a very fresh-faced 16 year old. Today I’d have no chance of getting into clubs, even with fake ID but fortunately in 1991, the world was a terrifying place for parents, which afforded sweaty young guttersnipes like myself the opportunity to get into various fleabag bars and clubs with security handled by local biker gangs.

One such place was a stinky former wine cellar called Bacchus in Kingston Upon Thames. I was taken there by friends I’d made in my first job at a supermarket, and it is without a shadow of a doubt, a night which changed my life. Essentially an indie night, the “Dodgy Club” was a party run by a local(ish) band called Dodgy who’d self-released a couple of jangly sunshine pop singles. This was indeed that Dodgy who’d later ride the crest of Brit-pop with their infuriatingly catchy ‘Good Enough’ but in ‘91 all I knew was they had a DJ called Chris Slade who, amongst dance floor friendly indy like Primal Scream and The Soup Dragons, dropped ‘I Believe In Miracles’ by The Jackson Sisters. This was the moment, my brain lost control and my legs took over as the moog and drums pumped out of Bacchus’ shitty old sound system. He then dropped ‘Across The Tracks’ by Maceo Parker and, like a first acid trip or discovering your dad was a porn star*, my world was never the same again.

*Not my dad I should add.

9) Herbie Mann - Memphis Two-Step

Another record I picked up on the cheap on the strength of the cover alone: a psychedelic solarised shot of Herbie in a straw hat, shades and his goatee which he’d kept since his more beatnik days. Herbie Mann is much maligned by some of the record-bore cognoscenti but I fell for his music pretty quickly and there’s some real gems in his catalogue, including this number which features some amazing vibes-work from Roy Ayers.

10) Pharoah Sanders - The Creator Has A Masterplan

I’d been watching and listening to jazz most of my young life but a chance encounter with a guy I can’t remember the name of in the bin room of Waitrose, New Malden where I worked in the early 90s, led me down the wilder side of the genre. It started with a conversation about hip hop. Gang Starr, BDP, Tribe etc and of course their samples. He couldn’t believe I’d never heard Coltrane’s My Favourite Things LP so the following week he lent me a copy.

We talked more, I started digging deeper. I started reading Straight No Chaser magazine. I bought beads, cords, various furry hats. I should probably be embarrassed but I’m not. Most importantly, after playing ‘Leg In The Sea Of History’ by Galliano to death, I discovered it was based on ‘The Creator Has A Masterplan’ by Pharoah Sanders and my ears have been scorched by fire-music ever since.

11) Violent Femmes - Prove My Love

I mentioned in my previous Dusk Dubs that I didn’t really listen to much rock music until I went to college. I was turned onto various bands like Pixies, Telescopes, Pavement etc. There was one that really resonated though, the timeless sound of skiffle punk by a trio of Milwaukie kids sounding like degenerates who’d robbed the school marching band so they could perform Gordon Gano’s ratbag love songs.

I had no idea at the time that this album actually came out in the early 80s. It still sounds fresh to this day, and it’s perfect from start to finish.

12) Jeff Britton & The Spitfires - Rub Out

I picked this out of a box of 30p 7”s in about 1992. It’s a strange kind of glam-electro-funk hybrid produced by Martin Rushent in the mid 70s before he made synth pop with Human League. Someone nicked it from my bag at one of my early gigs, and on the rare occasion I’ve seen a copy since, it’s 100 times the price I originally paid.

Anyway, jump to a couple of years back and I got a call from my old mate Colin who wanted some advice about a tune on an advert by The Horrors which had ripped off one of his dad’s records. I’d known Colin since school yet I somehow didn’t know his dad was even a musician. Low and behold they’d ripped off ‘Rub Out’. We chatted some more, turned out his dad was the guitarist in rock n roll revival band Wild Angels, another band I’d bought on my early digs, on the strength of the cover alone.

Colin’s dad was the guitarist on Rub Out. We briefly discussed covering it featuring his dad reprising his role on guitar - Wrongtom Meets The Spitfires - but like a lot of my projects, I’ve yet to find a moment to put this one to tape.

13) Har-You Percussion Group - Welcome To The Party

I took up percussion in my teens, thanks in part to so many of these records I was buying. My folks gave me some congas for my 18th birthday and I started devouring any track that featured them. I think I picked this one up at first because the textless front cover looked remarkably like a Young Disciples sleeve - even the graphic designers were sampling - but on reading the story of the Har-You Percussion group in the liner notes, I couldn’t wait to get this record home and start battering away over the top.

I played Welcome To The Party at my first ever DJ gig in 1995, and I’m still dropping it in my sets to this day.

14) Art Ensemble Of Chicago - Theme De Yoyo

Summer 1993. I’d just finished my A-Levels and turned 18. I was in that dizzying axis of having the world at my feet and having absolutely no idea what to do. My friend Tom called me up to see if I fancied coming to a gig with him and his mate Forest, I’d never met a Forest before or since. I’d heard of the Art Ensemble but I don’t think I’d heard any of their records at this point. So we headed to Union Chapel in Islington and once again, my world changed.

I sat stunned for a couple of hours on my pew. The first half of the set building from sporadic whistles and bell shaking to frenetic free-jazz workouts from the core quintet, followed by the gradual introduction of another group, the Chicago Blues Tradition, until the stage was full with a dense and unstoppable barrage of free-blues and gospel. Another religious experience without God having to get involved.

I failed my A-levels and went back to college in the autumn.

15) Sopwith Camel - Fazon

Following that I formed a band with some cohorts I’d met whilst playing in another, uncomfortably proggy group. We were pooling our influences for the new band, and one member was especially well versed in jazz-rock and late 60s R&B among other things. Rob was a guitarist on the cusp of developing a serious obsession with the hammond organ. I’d often while away the hours in his kitchen with a soundtrack of Colosseum, Black Widow, early Steve Miller etc. There was one band and, more importantly, one song which I foolishly never found out the name of and spent years trying to remember until finally I recognised the album cover. Here it is, it’s perfect.

16) Juniors Eyes - Black Snake

So, my aforementioned band, the appallingly named Ganesha Traffic (my fault, sorry), we never gigged. I’m not even sure if we actually finished one song but we had fun jamming, and more importantly we made a new friend in our vocalist Sarah. The night she auditioned we dropped her back home and met her parents. A lovely pair of former hippies in a ramshackle house full of paintings and instruments belonging to her dad Mick, otherwise known as “One Take” Mick thanks to his prowess as a session guitarist, the results of which you have definitely heard on ‘Space Oddity’ by David Bowie.

Rob and I quickly became good friends with Mick, prompting him for grubby stories from the sixties, and playing on tracks recorded in his living room studio in Tolworth. He died a year or so later whilst on tour in the states but his legacy lives on, especially on this track by his band Juniors Eyes on which he sang lead before they’d settled on a permanent vocalist.

17) Grady Tate - Be Black Baby

In ‘94 I went to art school to focus on graphics but a few polarising factors led me to spend most of my time listening to music, buying music, playing music, dancing to music, you get the picture. Sometimes I’d stay in though, and it was one of these nights, sat up late on my own flicking through cable channels that I settled on an early Brian De Palma film called Hi Mom ! starring a young DeNiro as a drifting artist, and his journey through porn, into off-off-off-Broadway theatre with a black-militant group, and onto terrorism. A timeless tale.

Holding it all together was this amazing record by Grady Tate, which by chance my friend Pony started playing at his club night The Great Escape.

18) Sergio Mendes & Brasil ‘66 - For What It’s Worth

Yes, as mentioned above, around 1993 I met a guy called Pony handing out flyers for a club night called Madonna’s Kitten. I went, I danced, we made friends, he started a Thursday night session at the previously mentioned Bacchus in Kingston. I danced some more. Friends started joining me on the dance floor, some travelled in from the stix, others from the big smoke, and we continued dancing until he finally jacked it in almost a decade later to focus on his Small World festival stage.

Some of the happiest moments of my teens were spent on this dancefloor, making bizarre shapes and doing freeform footwork which wowed and perplexed other punters equally.

Mendes’ version of ‘For What It’s Worth’ was often the final track of the night. In fact one night my friend Christoph was in town for the first time in ages, Pony started playing it mid set and I watched this inebriated Frenchman checking his watch in the confusion, evidently worried that he’d missed last orders.

I wouldn’t relive my teens if you paid me but these records, and the friends, relationships and moments surrounding them were definitely some of the highlights.]]> 2434429 no no Sun, 07 Oct 2018 10:55:05 +0200 2018-10-07T10:55:05+02:00 1:17:18 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0527-dusk-dubs-steve-proctor/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week Steve Proctor returns to Dusk Dubs, for part two of his life in Music.

"Welcome to the second instalment of my occasional series for Dusk dubs which charts my musical evolution with a playlist of tracks which are significant in at evolution.

This session picks up where the last session left off in 1976 (DD0440), and it was agreed with Dusk Dubs HQ that I would cover the years 1976 to 1986 this time.

I had originally attempted to offer chronological notes to accompany the session, but after two crashes in which I lost four hours writing, and then three hours writing, I have come to the conclusion that this particular session is best offered with a brief summary so here goes.

As per session one, each track has been chosen to specifically mark a particular moment, which I have identified as being important in the development of my musical psyche. Where this differs, is it also covers the beginning, and in fact my whole time as a DJ in Liverpool."

"The first three years in this set, 1976,77 and 1978 and in fact Gino Soccio from 1979, are all tracks which I'd heard being played by other DJs, or which I had sourced as a result of my working in a record shop. From the rest of 1979 onwards, all the music is directly related to my beginnings and career as a DJ.

I was inspired to become a DJ by two other DJs who were significant in my early development. The first was Norman Killon from Erics in Liverpool, and the second was Mike Davidson from a club called Hollywood in Liverpool.

Between these two DJs I learnt the basics of what I think makes a DJ. I learned how to play different types of music, I learned that there was a lot of different music available to a D, I learned to read a crowd, and I also learned how to program music in order to make it flow to the best enjoyment of everybody.

I learned that you can ONLY play with passion if you truly want to succeed as a DJ, and I learned that you had to find the music to express that passion to help establishing a unique identity as a DJ. A DJ has to know the music that they're playing inside out, they have to believe in it, they have to love it, they have to believe that they want to play the record to a group of people, even if it means that maybe it will clear a dance floor at the beginning, it's about having a belief and a passion for that track.

And that's why my selection from the bulk of 1979 onwards to 1986, is comprised of tracks which for me were absolute game changes, and were absolutely massive tracks for me in relation to my developing my own career, expressing myself personally, and making people dance whilst leading them into the future.

It's apparent as you listen to the set, that my sounds and styles were early electronic dance music and up-tempo dance music, and the overall feel throughout the set is one of 'Proto Balearic, Proto acid house music, and all the terms that have become known now.

1979 and 1980 and 1981 were probably the most three most significant years for me in my development as a DJ. I was working in a record shop where I had access to incredible stock, and was able to order anything from all over the world, whilst also being in a position where I was playing four nights a week as a DJ, and able to experiment and work and develop a relationship with people that allowed me to break records, whilst also developing my skills as a DJ as far as programming, reading a crowd, and the technical skills, because I was playing five hours a night, four nights a week. In every situation I was warming up myself, playing in the peak of the night, breaking records and playing those records as floor fillers. It was the best education and opportunity I could have ever had, and it certainly informed my DJ style when I came to London.

I know that will be the topic for my next dusk dubs session, which will cover the music that was influential and significant for me for the first 10 years I was in London. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this set, and apologies again for not being able to provide extensive notes as I provided last time.

Thank you all again for listening and for your time, enjoy".

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite 'Magnificent 7' very own Mat Davis to the Dusk Dubs family.

"I started the Magnificent 7 Club Night with a couple of mates about 2 and a half years ago. The only rule was it has to be on 7” vinyl. We wanted an “open decks” policy and invited anyone who wanted a go, some of whom had never used decks and a mixer before!

These days we also allow the odd 12” and album tracks and our night is going from strength to strength. The records I have chosen for dusk dubs are a mixture of ones I have always loved, new-to-me tracks that others have played at the nights and the odd daft tune. It’s quite a mellow selection compared some of the bangers that are played on the night and I hope you enjoy them !"

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite DJ, collector and Bam Bam Sounds resident Johnny Clash to the Dusk Dubs family.

"First things first. While I felt hugely honoured to be asked to contribute to this venerable series, I was also knocked sideways a bit by the brief, mainly because my personal inclination at the hour of sundown is generally either (i) to listen to some brutal half-time drum & bass with some guy yelling a list of items of Jamaican vocabulary in a Manchester accent or (ii) to watch an old episode of The Chase on Challenge. Neither of which really seemed appropriate behaviour in this instance.

So, after some thought, I tasked myself with identifying and collecting together music that fitted into the category of “I like this music but it is not too bangin for other people to listen to at the cocktail hour, nor does it feature Bradley Walsh”. I soon found that I had a bunch of tunes that I thought were either rather nice or made me feel rather emotional, or both. And then I had another look at the brief and I realised that I had just done pretty much exactly what the brief had been asking me to do all along.

So there isn't really a theme beyond that. But I have noticed that I did manage, quite unwittingly, to come up with a set of recurring motifs. I had no idea prior to preparing this mixtape that I had such a thing for moving water, for example. Other motifs, themes, or nervous tics I have spotted in my tracklist and in the music and lyrics included therein are: places and place names, spirited (and spiritual) vocal exclamations, music I've heard at festivals and in basements, struggle, solidarity, survival, hope, redemption, and love. That's a pretty good list if I say so myself. Do let me know if you spot anything else."

**Tracklisting**

1) Sengerema (Kagunga) S.D.A. Choir - Simba Wa Yuda

First tune is from a Seventh Day Adventist choir from Tanzania. I downloaded this for free from the awesome Awesome Tapes From Africa website. I'm lucky enough to have heard the Awesome Tapes From Africa guy djing off of cassettes at a festival and it was bloody lovely. I picked this tune partly because there is one repeated lead vocal snippet which absolutely slays me, and also because I spent four years of my childhood in Tanzania, so it means a lot. True story.

2) The Wailers – How Many Times aka Do You Remember

A tune so good they named it twice. I chose this one because once again the lead vocal, and particularly this one kind of exclamation that he does halfway through the chorus, makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. This is a promising group of young lads from Trenchtown in Kingston, Jamaica, by the names of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingstone. I wonder what ever happened to them?

3) S.E. Rogie - Dieman Noba Smoke Tafee

The title translates as Dead Men Don't Smoke Marijuana, which, as far as I can ascertain, is true.

4) Amadou and Mariam – M'Bife

There's a story that's been going round for a few years that I cried while I was watching Amadou & Mariam at the Big Chill festival. So what if I did?
5) Nina Simone - Chilly Winds Don't Blow

I only got into Nina Simone properly quite recently. I think I'd been put off by that advert for yoghurt or home contents insurance or whatever it was that had that “I've got my arms, got my legs”tune on it. And then I saw footage of her performing the entire tune live and it was frankly mindblowing. It's a completely different story to the one you get in the advert. Chilly Winds Don't Blow is great and it is a close relative of a variety of other American folk/gospel tunes. It's practically the same song as Woody Guthrie's “Going Down The Road Feeling Bad”, but I think it is part of the same family and shares some (if not all) of the same connotations as a song such as “This Train Is Bound For Glory” as performed by Louis Armstrong, Mahalia Jackson, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Big Bill Broonzy, Staples Singers, Alice Coltrane, and many more.

6) Aretha Franklin – The Weight

When I was a child my dad sat me on his knee and explained to me why the Band were better than Creedence Clearwater Revival. Don't get me wrong, Creedence were super and some of John Fogerty's solo stuff is great too. But the Band were on a whole other level. Here's Aretha with a cracking version of a great Band composition. I believe that is Duane Allman on slide? He was once asked how a skinny white dude from a military family got to be so good at playing the authentic blues and he replied something along the lines of “I locked myself in my room with a huge bag of amphetamine and a guitar and didn't come out for two straight years”.

7) Sean Wheeler and Zander Schloss - Catch Me If I Fall

I didn't really get how good these guys were till I saw them live. This song has the single strongest emotional effect on me of any piece of music ever.

8) Cakehole Presley - Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down

In the mid to late 90s I lived in a basement in Coldharbour Lane in Brixton with some rough but gentle boys from Somerset and at least once a week we listened to a little-known but well-loved album from 1988 called “Soft Drinks & Snacks” by a band called The Howling Sleepers. It's almost impossible to get hold of now and I don't even have a copy myself. I wish someone would re-release that record. The singer Chris Ridgway has carried on and here he is in reflective mood, with his current band the excellently named Cakehole Presley. This song contains quite a lot of swearing and yelling. But I think it's actually lovely so nerr.

9) Slaid Cleaves - Breakfast In Hell

I saw this guy play in a basement in the Farringdon area. He's from Austin, Texas via Washington D.C., Round Pond, Maine, and Cork City, Ireland. Can you imagine being called “Slaid Cleaves”? I mean, that's his actual name, pretty cool.

10) Joe Strummer - Tennessee Rain

What with me being called “Johnny Clash”, people often ask me “do you like the Clash at all?” And I actually do. Here's Strummer in mumbly country mode, from the soundtrack of the frankly bizarre Alex Cox movie “Walker”. (Is there any other kind of Alex Cox movie?) That's Zander Schloss playing guitar and looking after the arrangement on this tune. I saw him playing guitar in Strummer's band at a music festival in Milton Keynes in approx 1986. Alexei Sayle was compere. “Wouldn't it be great if everywhere was like Milton Keynes. Would it fook!!” I pretty much forgot about Zander Schloss after that apart from hearing Strummer introduce him as “the weiner man from Straight To Hell” on the bootleg cassette I bought of the same festival performance I'd seen them at. (“Straight To Hell” is another frankly bizarre Alex Cox movie.) Then thirty years later I saw him play at a festival with Sean Wheeler and I buttonholed him afterwards to tell him I'd last seen him play thirty years previously. He sort of said thanks that's a great story and then sort of ran away.

11) Planxty - Rambling Boys of Pleasure

There was about a year starting mid to late 1991 when I stopped pretending to be Jamaican and pretended to be Irish instead. That's when I first got into Planxty. Planxty were an astonishing, revolutionary, ground-breaking, raucous, beautiful, Irish folk music band made up of four remarkable individuals. Singing lead on this number is the inspirational, all-round good human being Andy Irvine. He's still going strong. I saw him play a few weeks ago, he was great.

12) Stick In The Wheel - Sweet Thames Flow Softly

My new favourite band. An astonishing, revolutionary, ground-breaking, raucous, beautiful, English folk music band made up of five remarkable individuals. They do a few of the same songs as Planxty funnily enough, including this one. This is from an audio-visual art project thingie, designed to be listened to on headphones whilst standing on Waterloo Bridge, which is how I heard this band for the first time. This song was written by Ewan MacColl, who also wrote “Dirty Old Town” and “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”. Pretty good at the old songwriting, then.

13) Tanya Stephens - To The Limit

A big Bam Bam Sound tune. (Bam Bam Sound is the tag-team reggae and bass music dj thing I do with my handsome footballer friend, you should check it out.) Tanya Stephens is the don. “Some people live their life like a metaphor, clean as a whistle, neat as a pin, That's not the kind of vibe I'm looking for, haffi try a likkle bit of almost everything.”

14) Judy Mowatt - Black Woman

Real talk.

15) Culture – Love Shines Brighter

I am so in love with Joseph Hill's voice I can't tell you. I can listen to this group happily every day. This one is a very jolly number. They recorded it three times in about six months in 77/78 and the three versions came out on three different albums, two of which were official releases and one which was a kind of bootleg. This is my favourite of the three, it's from the “Baldhead Bridge” LP.

16) Sons Of Kemet - Rivers Of Babylon

I've only just started listening to Sons Of Kemet. Most of their stuff is pretty bangin, this one is a bit more mellow. What with these guys and Nina Simone on my playlist, I may be in the process of reiventing myself as a groovy jazz guy. That might freak a few people out.

17) Konono #1 - Kuke Kule

I have this theory that Konono #1 might be the best band in the world. Much like the previous act, they usually do straight bangers, but this one is slightly more contemplative and breathy. I have seen Konono #1 twice at music festivals and I wish to see them again sooner rather than later.

18) Big Bill Broonzy – This Train

So I thought I'd finalised the tracklisting and for reasons too tortuous to go into a vacancy opened up for one more tune. And I'd been thinking about this song in connection with that other song so I went and listened to about fifteen versions and picked this one. I would also heartily recommend the Bunny Wailer, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Culture, Snooks Eaglin, and Buckwheat Zydeco versions, in addition to those mentioned above. I wouldn't recommend any of the three Cliff Richard versions and certainly not the Mumford And Sons version. I haven't listened to it and I am not going to and I don't think you should either. By the way, Big Bill Broonzy also did a version of “Going Down The Road Feeling Bad”, which I mentioned earlier as a kind of twin brother of “Chilly Winds Don't Blow” and first cousin of “This Train”. And Woody Guthrie, who did a marvellous version of “Going Down The Road Feeling Bad”, liked “This Train” so much that he named his autobiography “Bound For Glory” after it. It's all circles within circles and wheels within wheels, bud.

19) Fats Domino – Blueberry Hill

The Fat Man. The greatest. RIP the daddy of rock'n'roll and the grandaddy of all subsequent popular music. Yes.]]>

I am so in love with Joseph Hill's voice I can't tell you. I can listen to this group happily every day. This one is a very jolly number. They recorded it three times in about six months in 77/78 and the three versions came out on three different albums, two of which were official releases and one which was a kind of bootleg. This is my favourite of the three, it's from the “Baldhead Bridge” LP.

16) Sons Of Kemet - Rivers Of Babylon

I've only just started listening to Sons Of Kemet. Most of their stuff is pretty bangin, this one is a bit more mellow. What with these guys and Nina Simone on my playlist, I may be in the process of reiventing myself as a groovy jazz guy. That might freak a few people out.

17) Konono #1 - Kuke Kule

I have this theory that Konono #1 might be the best band in the world. Much like the previous act, they usually do straight bangers, but this one is slightly more contemplative and breathy. I have seen Konono #1 twice at music festivals and I wish to see them again sooner rather than later.

18) Big Bill Broonzy – This Train

So I thought I'd finalised the tracklisting and for reasons too tortuous to go into a vacancy opened up for one more tune. And I'd been thinking about this song in connection with that other song so I went and listened to about fifteen versions and picked this one. I would also heartily recommend the Bunny Wailer, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Culture, Snooks Eaglin, and Buckwheat Zydeco versions, in addition to those mentioned above. I wouldn't recommend any of the three Cliff Richard versions and certainly not the Mumford And Sons version. I haven't listened to it and I am not going to and I don't think you should either. By the way, Big Bill Broonzy also did a version of “Going Down The Road Feeling Bad”, which I mentioned earlier as a kind of twin brother of “Chilly Winds Don't Blow” and first cousin of “This Train”. And Woody Guthrie, who did a marvellous version of “Going Down The Road Feeling Bad”, liked “This Train” so much that he named his autobiography “Bound For Glory” after it. It's all circles within circles and wheels within wheels, bud.

19) Fats Domino – Blueberry Hill

The Fat Man. The greatest. RIP the daddy of rock'n'roll and the grandaddy of all subsequent popular music. Yes.]]> 2382980 no no Sun, 16 Sep 2018 09:26:30 +0200 2018-09-16T09:26:30+02:00 1:21:22 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/the-full-spectrum-029/

Artist: Rhi
Title: DD0523
Style: Soul, Jazz, House, Rock, Breaks
Time: 90 minutes
Date: 2018-09-02

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome London based producer, singer, songwriter and musician Rhi to the Dusk Dubs family.

American born Rhi aka Rhiannon Bouvier grew up in rural Ontario, Canada. As a young child it would be the piano that first sparked her interest in music, resulting in lessons on classical piano from the age of 8.

Growing up on a diet of classic rock, Rhi went to concerts in Toronto to see artists like Jethro Tull, Jeff Beck and Alice Cooper with her father. Soon after she was introduced to bands like System of A Down and Nirvana, and by the age of 14 she was playing guitar and writing her own songs.

Rhi moved to Ireland when she was 16, before moving to Brighton the following year to study music. Writing more and treading heavier musical paths, she leaned towards alt-rock and grunge influences before forming three-piece alt-rock band Monochrome Mary in 2013.

Whilst travelling in 2014, Rhi was introduced to FKA Twig’s ‘EP2’, which kick started her passion to become a producer. Delving further into electronic music, she sought out friends to teach her what they knew about producing.

Signing to Brighton based Tru Thoughts Record Label in 2017, Rhi developed her minimal, ethereal electronic soundscapes, culminating in the release of her debut album 'Reverie' in November of 2017, which received a rush of support from taste-makers and press worldwide,

"I’ve compiled a selection of music that has influenced me over the years. Whether it be as a songwriter, singer, musician, or producer, the artists/songs I’ve selected have had an impact on me in one way or another. I’ve been passionate about different genres at different times in my life though a consistent element in the majority of the music I gravitate towards is a melancholic tone. Even as a child learning classical piano, I only ever wanted to play music in minor keys. I’m also a bit of a bass junkie - so I’m easily wooed by a lush, subby bass line.

Classical music influence has been a big part of my life since I began learning piano at the age of 8. Rachmaninov’s music is complex and passionate and taught me that music can be the outlet for the emotions that you may find difficult to express any other way. I discovered Satie’s music later in life, and it showed me that even the simplest melodies can be the most evocative.

Burial was my first love in electronic music, and I always cite him as one of my main influences. As someone who has loved music from a wide array of genres, for me, his music evokes an emotional intensity that very few modern artists have achieved, especially in electronic music. In terms of bass, drums, melodies, textures and overall originality, his music ticks all the right boxes for me.

Led Zeppelin was one of my favourite bands in high school and at that time I was playing guitar every day, as much as I could, and starting to write my own songs. As a musician, they were a big influence. I fell in love with the main guitar riff in ‘No Quarter’ - simple yet brilliant.

Nirvana was the first band I covered live (my vocal range was similar to Cobain’s when I first started singing) and so they were a great influence on me as a songwriter and performer.

Ani Difranco was a big influence on me as a budding songwriter - she was totally original and self-taught and I loved that she didn’t worry about fitting into a specific genre. She just did her thing and her sound evolved with every album she released - she wasn’t afraid to push boundaries and break rules, both as a writer and vocalist.

Eminem was my entrance into hip hop as a teen. I heard his first album “Infinite” a few years later, but to this day it’s one of my favourites. His flow and tone are particularly good on this album.

FKA Twigs’ EP2 was a huge influence on me when I first started producing music - it made me want to do it all - write, sing, and produce. Arca’s production is unreal - “Papi Pacify” never fails to give me goosebumps. Another brilliant example of genre-bending music."

**Tracklisting**

1) Grant Green - Down Here on The Ground

A lovely vibesy number to open up as sampled by A Tribe Called Quest. I first heard this on a bootleg compilation of Tribe sample sources. I feel like I came to a lot of old jazz and soul through the hip hop sample !

2) Sarah Vaughan – Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)

Sarah Vaughan’s version of the Marvin Gaye classic is a thing of beauty. I first heard this when I moved to London in the days when Gilles Peterson, Patrick Forge and Bob Jones were on one after another on Kiss FM Sunday nights. I can’t remember which of them played it, but it had me reaching for the notepad.

3) Letta Mbulu – Pula Yetla

Letta Mbulu and David Axelrod are a wonderful combination, this song is the proof.

4) Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson – The Liberation Song (Red, Black & Green)

It’s one of my regrets that I never got to see Gil live before he passed away. I had tickets to see him around the time of the XL album but the gig was cancelled due to a volcano cloud. This is one of my absolute favourites of his.

5) Betty Davis – Anti Love Song

I first had this song on a mixtape from an acid jazz club I went to a few times when at uni in Leeds. For years I didn’t know who it was or who it was by. When I finally found out I was over the moon to get hold of a proper copy on wax.

6) Aaron Neville – Hercules

Another one I came to via a hip hop sample. This one used by Young MC on I Come Off

7) Flora Purim – Stories to Tell

I’ve been to Brazil a couple of times but never managed to buy any music until my most recent trip. It happened to be my birthday and I got the green light to spend the afternoon sifting through the racks in a lovely shop in Rio (shout out to Tracks). This is taken from one of the treats I picked up.

8) Nina Simone – See-Line Woman

I managed to see Nina live in Paris not too long before she passed away. I didn’t expect her to do this song, but an audience member happened to request it. She answered back that it’s a dance song and she’s too old to dance. After a bit of crowd encouragement, she started humming the melody and the band joined in. A magical moment for me.

9) Rose Royce – Sunrise

I’ve never seen the film Car Wash, but when I heard this lovely piece of music on the radio one afternoon, I had to find myself a copy of the soundtrack.

10) Gwen Guthrie – Peanut Butter (Larry Levan mix)

One of those tracks that was rinsed for samples in the early rave days. Has the effect that certain lines jump out at you with familiarity. Larry Levan’s dubby disco vibe is something truly special.

11) Marvin Gaye – A Funky Space Reincarnation

Taken from Marvin’s infamous divorce album ‘Here, My Dear’, Marvin at his funkiest.

12) UMCs – One To Grow On

It was all about hip hop when I was a youngster and this is one of the tunes I used to blast from my bedroom.

13) Dudley Perkins – Flowers

I’m a big fan of Madlib who produced this and I absolutely love Dudley’s woozy vocal on this one.

14) 2day & 2moro – Disney On Acid

Cute little 7” from the always dependable Omniverse label. I suspect this is a Marc Mac production as most things were on that label.

15) Nora Dean – Angie La La

I love the vibe on this, a little bit freaky, a little bit weird. A record I come back to time and time again. Zara McFarlane did an amazing version too.

16) New Sector Movements – Para

IG Culture is one of my all-time favourite producers. The New Sector period for me is his most stunning work. This one just sounds like nothing else before or since.

17) Lil’ Louis & The World – New Dance Beat

Taken from his excellent second album, ‘Journey with The Lonely’. This is one of the house tracks I first learnt to beat mix with on a pair of belt driven Aristons (shout out to Jonesy!)]]>

Sarah Vaughan’s version of the Marvin Gaye classic is a thing of beauty. I first heard this when I moved to London in the days when Gilles Peterson, Patrick Forge and Bob Jones were on one after another on Kiss FM Sunday nights. I can’t remember which of them played it, but it had me reaching for the notepad.

3) Letta Mbulu – Pula Yetla

Letta Mbulu and David Axelrod are a wonderful combination, this song is the proof.

4) Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson – The Liberation Song (Red, Black & Green)

It’s one of my regrets that I never got to see Gil live before he passed away. I had tickets to see him around the time of the XL album but the gig was cancelled due to a volcano cloud. This is one of my absolute favourites of his.

5) Betty Davis – Anti Love Song

I first had this song on a mixtape from an acid jazz club I went to a few times when at uni in Leeds. For years I didn’t know who it was or who it was by. When I finally found out I was over the moon to get hold of a proper copy on wax.

6) Aaron Neville – Hercules

Another one I came to via a hip hop sample. This one used by Young MC on I Come Off

7) Flora Purim – Stories to Tell

I’ve been to Brazil a couple of times but never managed to buy any music until my most recent trip. It happened to be my birthday and I got the green light to spend the afternoon sifting through the racks in a lovely shop in Rio (shout out to Tracks). This is taken from one of the treats I picked up.

8) Nina Simone – See-Line Woman

I managed to see Nina live in Paris not too long before she passed away. I didn’t expect her to do this song, but an audience member happened to request it. She answered back that it’s a dance song and she’s too old to dance. After a bit of crowd encouragement, she started humming the melody and the band joined in. A magical moment for me.

9) Rose Royce – Sunrise

I’ve never seen the film Car Wash, but when I heard this lovely piece of music on the radio one afternoon, I had to find myself a copy of the soundtrack.

10) Gwen Guthrie – Peanut Butter (Larry Levan mix)

One of those tracks that was rinsed for samples in the early rave days. Has the effect that certain lines jump out at you with familiarity. Larry Levan’s dubby disco vibe is something truly special.

11) Marvin Gaye – A Funky Space Reincarnation

Taken from Marvin’s infamous divorce album ‘Here, My Dear’, Marvin at his funkiest.

12) UMCs – One To Grow On

It was all about hip hop when I was a youngster and this is one of the tunes I used to blast from my bedroom.

13) Dudley Perkins – Flowers

I’m a big fan of Madlib who produced this and I absolutely love Dudley’s woozy vocal on this one.

14) 2day & 2moro – Disney On Acid

Cute little 7” from the always dependable Omniverse label. I suspect this is a Marc Mac production as most things were on that label.

15) Nora Dean – Angie La La

I love the vibe on this, a little bit freaky, a little bit weird. A record I come back to time and time again. Zara McFarlane did an amazing version too.

16) New Sector Movements – Para

IG Culture is one of my all-time favourite producers. The New Sector period for me is his most stunning work. This one just sounds like nothing else before or since.

17) Lil’ Louis & The World – New Dance Beat

Taken from his excellent second album, ‘Journey with The Lonely’. This is one of the house tracks I first learnt to beat mix with on a pair of belt driven Aristons (shout out to Jonesy!)]]> 2290428 no no Sun, 26 Aug 2018 10:10:29 +0200 2018-08-26T10:10:29+02:00 1:20:19 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/nine-zero-nine-001/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This Sunday we release our annual celebration of London's Notting Hill Carnival and this time around we have invited one of our long time family members Danny Mac to select his sound system bangers.

"First and foremost a big thank you to Dusk Dubs for inviting me to select the music for this year's Carnival Special.

Carnival for me has always been about the music, music, music, oh and the food. The first half of my selections are all the tunes I was exposed to growing up in London during the late 70s and 80s, and for me Carnival Classics.

The second half are tunes I listened too, danced too, raved too in my misspent youth (what’s the point of youth if it hasn’t been misspent) and also for me.... Carnival Classics."

Title: DD0520
Style: Trip Hop, Funk, Soul, Jazz, House, Drum & Bass
Time: 105 minutes
Date: 2018-08-12

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This weekend we welcome Producer, DJ, and London's Rye Wax 'One Seventy' Regular, Books to the Dusk Dubs Family.

Books is a producer currently residing in North East London. His music is a reflection of the fallout from a post drum and bass aesthetic. Highly textured, brooding, melancholic and reflective in its nature; whilst exploring a spatiality, movements in space and immersive sound environments.

Releases on the Detuned Transmissions, Detuned vs Eternia and a debut EP and vinyl release on Metro’s Ortem imprint has seen his productions begin to reach a wider audience. As well as remixes for DAAT, Dyl and Jalex Books has a forthcoming 12” and a solo album scheduled for release later this year.

Alongside his solo work he has also been collaborating with Hiphop instrumentalist ‘Aver’ on a project still under construction. Books is a regular at the acclaimed One Seventy night at Rye Wax in London. For a taste of his style and productions check this mix for the One Seventy show on Balamii…

"Firstly I’m hugely honoured to have been asked to provide a mixtape for what is such an amazing series alongside some incredible musicians, DJs and producers. This is an extensive resource, which draws on years of musical expertise and knowledge. To be given the chance to add something to this catalogue is an honour.

The premise for the podcast is a special one and is, for me such an important part of what makes our relationship to music so extraordinary. This selection is of particular meaning to me, and for a variety of reasons which in some ways is hard to pin down. There is some music included that I have only come across very recently and some which I’ve known for as long as I can remember, some tunes which help me to access particular memories, or vibe and emotion and some which export me to another universe. These songs can stand as gateways to eras of our lives and as structures to hold us up in harder times.

The meaning and pleasure derived from music is always in the ear and mind of the listener and is for you to decide, and yet what makes music so important is the chance to share our experience of what we hear. There is no right or wrong in this.

The mix is a snapshot of music that influences and inspires me, and connects me with the people that occupy my world. I hope you enjoy the selection."

**Tracklisting**

1) Alaska & Seba – Back from Eternity

This is a sublime piece of music. I find the breaks have a hypnotic quality when combined with the slow moving washed out pads. The depth of which reaches a beautiful crescendo, going deeper and wider drawing you in. Beautifully simple and effortless in execution. I’ve enjoyed this tune with close friends at the evenings end.

2) Billy Ocean - Nights (Feel Like Getting Down) (Discoslexic Edit)

This was a tune I heard on the end of an edition of ‘The Aptitude Show’ on Rinse FM with Dbridge. I’ve never heard the original but immediately had to find out what it was to get a copy. I love playing this tune to people. Mainly because I can remember my own reaction when I first heard it. Smashed it at a friend’s wedding recently!​

3) Bobby Caldwell - What You Won't Do For Love

There is a beautiful restraint and understatement to this track. The whole tune has an equilibrium which is never dominated by any part in particular. I love a slow jam and this is one of the best ever.

4) Burial – UK

Incredibile sketch from Burial. For what is a relatively short piece of music it draws you in very quickly and deeply. The whole piece I perceive through an ethereal filter as delicate voices scatter the crackling horizon. Burial’s music at times exists in its own environment and I love that about his work.

5) Dan Harbanam – Record

Dan Harbanam is another producer who takes you on a unique journey. His ‘From The Known’ album, from which this track is taken, is truly unique. The beautiful meandering melodies of this piece take me to a place of reflection.

6) Distance - Fallen

I will always have fond memories of the early days of Dubstep; club nights put on by friends, house parties and festivals. This particular tune always grabbed the imagination of myself and a close mate. The monastic chanting, subtle bass and drums send me away.

7) J Majik – Repertoire

This track is brilliantly detailed. There is a new element to hear and consider on every listen. The pads are soaring and the ever present arpeggio holds the track together as the other elements dance around the space. This one is ever evolving and a dream like voyage from all the wau back in ‘96.

8) Justin time – Movin

This record was gifted to me by a friend in 2001 I think, along with a load of other hardcore records from around the 94/95 period. We’re not in touch anymore but the memory and this tune endures! This is my favourite of those tunes, the classic pianos and pitched up vocals make it.

9) Lorne Greene – Ringo

This one takes me back to playing records from my Dad’s collection as a child. My Dad got this record from his cousin apparently as he had two copies (lucky guy). This track is the b-side to the Bonanza theme tune which has nothing on this banger, a more dramatic tale has never been told.

10) Patrice Rushen - Remind Me

Another favourite slow jam from my vinyl collection. I now forget where I originally heard it but was hunting a copy for a while. Just so smooth and love the instrumentation. Stone cold classic.

11) Prince - Crazy You

There had to be Prince track included in this mix, there are so many to choose from. This one is a personal favourite from his first studio album. Love the intimate quality to this track and Prince’s trademark vocal lines capture his brilliance.

12) Talib Kweli & Hi Tek - The Blast

One of my favourite HipHop tracks of all time. I first saw this on MTV base which I used to watch with my brother and had to get the album (Train of Thought). The laid back nature of the beat matched with both Kweli and Hi-Tek featuring on vocals is killer. Love it.

13) They Live – 7998

The interaction between human and robot featured in this track can actually be found somewhere in the realms of the internet. Here the conversation is brilliantly juxtaposed and the futuristic scene created is fully sick. The ‘Cancel Standard’ album is well worth checking out.

14) Transportation AAD – Pagoda

Released on Darkestral this track is probably my favourite from the seminal label. A good friend picked up this copy for me, amazingly for just £2. Bargain. I love this track, one of my favourites from the autonomic era. Absolute perfection, it just blows me away. The alias is a co lab between Boddika and the label owner Rico I believe.

15) ASC & Sam KDC – Lost Negatives

Incredible ambience in this piece. The pads slay me down. I love playing this track as part of my sets, it really takes me away. As soon as it starts the listener is transported to a different place. This track was also instrumental in tuning my ears into ambient music in general.

16) Dbridge _ Detuned Heart

At least one Dbridge tune had to be included, I’ve always been a huge fan of his music. This one features that classic Dbridge tonality. The ethereal arpeggios convey an almost futuristic dystopian setting. The timbre of the synth, subtle arrangement and high flying pads make this one.

17) DJ Taye feat. DJ Manny - Burnin Ya Boa

This track serves as a great introduction to the sound of Footwork. Twisted soul samples, with jagged intensity of drum programming and heavy 808s.

18) Dreamcast - Liquid Deep

I first heard this track as an instrumental by an artist called Sasac. I think it had a limited vinyl release which I missed but was recorded with a vocal and released at a later date. I prefer the instrumental to be honest but its still an amazing tune. Super smooth.

19) Floating Points -For Marmish Part II

Fourteen minutes of absolute bliss, close your eyes and let yourself go. I only heard this one a few weeks ago for the first time. Love the way it builds and evolves over the duration of the track. Have yourself a moment.

20) H.E.R – Facts

H.E.R is yet to release a full studio album as of yet. I heard this track on my kitchen radio and needed to find out who she is immediately. Her voice is mesmerising and the production on her stuff sounds great to my ears.

21) King Krule – Cementality

King Krule is a national treasure. This track features some of his trademark self depreciating wordplay, imagery and reverb.

22) Roy Ayers – Let Me Love You Again
I had to include some Roy Ayers. There is so much positivity in his music. This is not from the most celebrated period of his career but still delivers. I love the opening lines from Chandri Curelli who provides the second lead vocal. Roy’s tunes always sound good with a female vocalist in my opinion. Standard rinse out on the vibraphone also included.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This weekend we welcome Producer, DJ, and London's Rye Wax 'One Seventy' Regular, Books to the Dusk Dubs Family.

Books is a producer currently residing in North East London. His music is a reflection of the fallout from a post drum and bass aesthetic. Highly textured, brooding, melancholic and reflective in its nature; whilst exploring a spatiality, movements in space and immersive sound environments.

Releases on the Detuned Transmissions, Detuned vs Eternia and a debut EP and vinyl release on Metro’s Ortem imprint has seen his productions begin to reach a wider audience. As well as remixes for DAAT, Dyl and Jalex Books has a forthcoming 12” and a solo album scheduled for release later this year.

Alongside his solo work he has also been collaborating with Hiphop instrumentalist ‘Aver’ on a project still under construction. Books is a regular at the acclaimed One Seventy night at Rye Wax in London. For a taste of his style and productions check this mix for the One Seventy show on Balamii…

"Firstly I’m hugely honoured to have been asked to provide a mixtape for what is such an amazing series alongside some incredible musicians, DJs and producers. This is an extensive resource, which draws on years of musical expertise and knowledge. To be given the chance to add something to this catalogue is an honour.

The premise for the podcast is a special one and is, for me such an important part of what makes our relationship to music so extraordinary. This selection is of particular meaning to me, and for a variety of reasons which in some ways is hard to pin down. There is some music included that I have only come across very recently and some which I’ve known for as long as I can remember, some tunes which help me to access particular memories, or vibe and emotion and some which export me to another universe. These songs can stand as gateways to eras of our lives and as structures to hold us up in harder times.

The meaning and pleasure derived from music is always in the ear and mind of the listener and is for you to decide, and yet what makes music so important is the chance to share our experience of what we hear. There is no right or wrong in this.

The mix is a snapshot of music that influences and inspires me, and connects me with the people that occupy my world. I hope you enjoy the selection."

**Tracklisting**

1) Alaska & Seba – Back from Eternity

This is a sublime piece of music. I find the breaks have a hypnotic quality when combined with the slow moving washed out pads. The depth of which reaches a beautiful crescendo, going deeper and wider drawing you in. Beautifully simple and effortless in execution. I’ve enjoyed this tune with close friends at the evenings end.

2) Billy Ocean - Nights (Feel Like Getting Down) (Discoslexic Edit)

This was a tune I heard on the end of an edition of ‘The Aptitude Show’ on Rinse FM with Dbridge. I’ve never heard the original but immediately had to find out what it was to get a copy. I love playing this tune to people. Mainly because I can remember my own reaction when I first heard it. Smashed it at a friend’s wedding recently!​

3) Bobby Caldwell - What You Won't Do For Love

There is a beautiful restraint and understatement to this track. The whole tune has an equilibrium which is never dominated by any part in particular. I love a slow jam and this is one of the best ever.

4) Burial – UK

Incredibile sketch from Burial. For what is a relatively short piece of music it draws you in very quickly and deeply. The whole piece I perceive through an ethereal filter as delicate voices scatter the crackling horizon. Burial’s music at times exists in its own environment and I love that about his work.

5) Dan Harbanam – Record

Dan Harbanam is another producer who takes you on a unique journey. His ‘From The Known’ album, from which this track is taken, is truly unique. The beautiful meandering melodies of this piece take me to a place of reflection.

6) Distance - Fallen

I will always have fond memories of the early days of Dubstep; club nights put on by friends, house parties and festivals. This particular tune always grabbed the imagination of myself and a close mate. The monastic chanting, subtle bass and drums send me away.

7) J Majik – Repertoire

This track is brilliantly detailed. There is a new element to hear and consider on every listen. The pads are soaring and the ever present arpeggio holds the track together as the other elements dance around the space. This one is ever evolving and a dream like voyage from all the wau back in ‘96.

8) Justin time – Movin

This record was gifted to me by a friend in 2001 I think, along with a load of other hardcore records from around the 94/95 period. We’re not in touch anymore but the memory and this tune endures! This is my favourite of those tunes, the classic pianos and pitched up vocals make it.

9) Lorne Greene – Ringo

This one takes me back to playing records from my Dad’s collection as a child. My Dad got this record from his cousin apparently as he had two copies (lucky guy). This track is the b-side to the Bonanza theme tune which has nothing on this banger, a more dramatic tale has never been told.

10) Patrice Rushen - Remind Me

Another favourite slow jam from my vinyl collection. I now forget where I originally heard it but was hunting a copy for a while. Just so smooth and love the instrumentation. Stone cold classic.

11) Prince - Crazy You

There had to be Prince track included in this mix, there are so many to choose from. This one is a personal favourite from his first studio album. Love the intimate quality to this track and Prince’s trademark vocal lines capture his brilliance.

12) Talib Kweli & Hi Tek - The Blast

One of my favourite HipHop tracks of all time. I first saw this on MTV base which I used to watch with my brother and had to get the album (Train of Thought). The laid back nature of the beat matched with both Kweli and Hi-Tek featuring on vocals is killer. Love it.

13) They Live – 7998

The interaction between human and robot featured in this track can actually be found somewhere in the realms of the internet. Here the conversation is brilliantly juxtaposed and the futuristic scene created is fully sick. The ‘Cancel Standard’ album is well worth checking out.

14) Transportation AAD – Pagoda

Released on Darkestral this track is probably my favourite from the seminal label. A good friend picked up this copy for me, amazingly for just £2. Bargain. I love this track, one of my favourites from the autonomic era. Absolute perfection, it just blows me away. The alias is a co lab between Boddika and the label owner Rico I believe.

15) ASC & Sam KDC – Lost Negatives

Incredible ambience in this piece. The pads slay me down. I love playing this track as part of my sets, it really takes me away. As soon as it starts the listener is transported to a different place. This track was also instrumental in tuning my ears into ambient music in general.

16) Dbridge _ Detuned Heart

At least one Dbridge tune had to be included, I’ve always been a huge fan of his music. This one features that classic Dbridge tonality. The ethereal arpeggios convey an almost futuristic dystopian setting. The timbre of the synth, subtle arrangement and high flying pads make this one.

17) DJ Taye feat. DJ Manny - Burnin Ya Boa

This track serves as a great introduction to the sound of Footwork. Twisted soul samples, with jagged intensity of drum programming and heavy 808s.

18) Dreamcast - Liquid Deep

I first heard this track as an instrumental by an artist called Sasac. I think it had a limited vinyl release which I missed but was recorded with a vocal and released at a later date. I prefer the instrumental to be honest but its still an amazing tune. Super smooth.

19) Floating Points -For Marmish Part II

Fourteen minutes of absolute bliss, close your eyes and let yourself go. I only heard this one a few weeks ago for the first time. Love the way it builds and evolves over the duration of the track. Have yourself a moment.

20) H.E.R – Facts

H.E.R is yet to release a full studio album as of yet. I heard this track on my kitchen radio and needed to find out who she is immediately. Her voice is mesmerising and the production on her stuff sounds great to my ears.

21) King Krule – Cementality

King Krule is a national treasure. This track features some of his trademark self depreciating wordplay, imagery and reverb.

22) Roy Ayers – Let Me Love You Again
I had to include some Roy Ayers. There is so much positivity in his music. This is not from the most celebrated period of his career but still delivers. I love the opening lines from Chandri Curelli who provides the second lead vocal. Roy’s tunes always sound good with a female vocalist in my opinion. Standard rinse out on the vibraphone also included.]]> 2246586 no no Sun, 12 Aug 2018 09:12:27 +0200 2018-08-12T09:12:27+02:00 1:45:50 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dub-explorations-045/

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

"I’d first like to express my thanks for the opportunity to contribute to one of my favourite mix series on the web, one that has soothed many a hangover on a Sunday afternoon. Also a shout to all the previous selectors who made the job that much harder by having picked some amazing selections already. I have tried to avoid any repeats from previous mixes though I’m sure a couple may have fallen through the cracks.

I tried to approach this as condensing the ‘journey’ of a night out into a listenable ‘album’ amount of time - from the first drinks at a bar all the way through to moving from bar to club and then piling back into a front room or after party at the very end.

When I think of sunset tunes, I rarely think of my usual surroundings of South London but more of a chiringuito on the Med, drinks flowing, the music complimenting the vista, the night alive with possibility and I have tried to capture that spirit here albeit with a little divergence into South London!"

**Tracklisting**

1) Len Leise - A Bend In The River

I remember there being a liberal sprinkling of ‘alternative facts’ surrounding this release, apparently pertaining to be an old producer discovered in a tape bin in Paris and persuaded to come out of retirement to make this EP. True or not, the music speaks for itself as is generally the case with anything International Feel releases, they are truly at the heart of the new Balearic movement. This tune is very reminiscent of Philip Glass or Steve Roach but transported into the rainforest with its chimes, hand drums and eerie yet hopeful melody.

2) Paul McCartney - Sunshine Sometime (Instrumental)

Outside of The Beatles, my favourite McCartney work has always been McCartney II, which amongst the majority of his fans was mostly rubbished. I remember my mum coming home from a boot sale, having bought a copy for me. I stuck it on the record player expecting something Beatle-esque and thought, “what the fuck is this?” but quickly grew to love the tunes like Temporary Secretary and Frozen Jap that made use of early synths and sequencers. Years later I came across a bootleg record called McCartney Balearic Rarities featuring different versions of those tracks, discovering this track on there and, my, what a beauty… perfect sunshine music.

3) Abel Lima - Corre Riba, Corre Baxo

Featured here to further enhance that beach bar vibe, Costa Verde vibes here, don’t know too much about this release or artist, picked up a 7-inch a few years back of this and simply feels immeasurably suited to a sunset mojito or such like.

4) Grace Jones - The Crossing

Trevor Horn conjuring up a moment of magic here which epitomises the sound of sunset in Ibiza for me; warm, ethereal, tropical, uplifting yet melancholic. Sampled nearly a decade later by Ed Rush for the ‘ardcore generation on 5AM, which is equally worthy of a sunset spin.

5) Maizena - Approval

Couple years back i was walking out of my usual record shop and i heard this tune, turned instantly to ask the guy behind the counter what it was. “Maizena”, he says, “Regelbau crew, Aarhus” in the most condescending manner possible as if I was an idiot for not knowing instantly. Yet such was the force of his tone that I began to sympathise with him, instantly aware of my faux-pas and display of shameless ignorance. So in an effort to educate myself and somewhat redeem myself in front of this font of knowledge I bought a copy and in the coming weeks promptly bought up the back catalogue on a trip to Barcelona. They have fast become my favourite label/collective of recent years. Check their radio shows, mixes, releases: everything they touch is gold, not tied down by genre and spanning everything ambient to house to jungle in the process.

6) Kuniyuki Takahashi - Echoes Of The Past

Only discovered this artist this year after Music From Memory put out a 2 volume retrospective of his tape stuff from the 80s and 90s. Both come highly recommended but this track is a particular highlight for me, perfect for melting into as day becomes night.

8) Cloudface - Meadow Like

This track perfectly suits the sunset for me, and signifies the step off from relaxing drinks to preparing for the onslaught, the slow beat of the deep deep kicks in the background beckoning you to the club. The melody has melancholia in droves as subtle touches morph and counter the central riff. The sun is down, now it’s time for the night to take shape…

9) Kadidiatou Samakes - Eyaye (Lord Leopard Re-Decoration)

Fantastic edit of an equally fantastic tune but for our purposes this is the one to get the night underway. My missus is very into African music and opened up my eyes to labels such as Analogue Africa and Awesome Tapes and when I discovered this tune in a record store day (not usually a fan) unsold pile I found it to be perfect for those sundowner sets to transition between the more song based tracks to start the night and the heavier beat-led sounds to come.

10) Open Spaces - Sunrise Paradise Garage

In the late 90s / early 2000s, before discogs and the like, record shops were treasure troves of undiscovered greatness. I had a Music & Video Exchange minutes from where I went to university and I visited EVERY day. Piles and piles of records for 50p and a £1, glorious stuff. This was one such record, bought, unheard, thinking it was something else and costing all of 50p when I got it home it dawned on me that I had found a real treasure!! Reminiscent of another fave of mine, Orbital’s Chime (i think both released around the same time) this transports you instantly away to a better place.

11) Sunshower - Weekend Millionaire

An example of a perfect club tune, prominent 4/4 layered with tough breaks and a healthy dose of euphoria. Not much more to say about this tune, I’ll let it do the talking…

12) Mikey James - Mello

Another record bought unheard (HMV Bromley, 1994 hahaha, funny - I must have thousands of records yet I can remember where i bought nearly every one of them) purely on the strength of it being a Sub Base tune. Once more, not dissapointed. Mikey was/is the brother of the more well-known rave hero, Mark Ryder. This release went very much under the radar at the time. I don’t seem to remember it ever being played out or on the radio but, tucked away on the B Side, it’s a sublime slice of gloriousness. Available for peanuts on discogs still.

13) Omni Trio - Beyond The Fundamental (Big Bud Remix)

I discovered this track on 99.2, as part of the budget sampler series put out by Moving Shadow in the late 90s. This track was the soundtrack to the journey to and from clubs and raves back then in my car. Fond memories of driving around with this blasting out at stupid o clock in the morning on the way home, still feeling the buzz of the night before and not wanting it to end. Whole tune just has that sense of movement to it and I will never tire of it, pure lushness when the bassline comes in.

14) Endgames - Ecstacy (Jam City Refix)

First became aware of this after Aphex Twin ended his set with it at Bloc (I think). Not familiar with the original but very little of that is used bar a few synth stabs repurposed. The rhythm is fractured and spastic yet still funky and another rack where the euphoria shines through. Topped off by some mad square wave bassline that floats in and out straight out of the early grime scene.

15) Pinch - Qawwali

This is where the euphoria starts to dwindle, to be replaced by a hint of paranoia and darkness. Night is truly upon us as Pinch delivers a masterclass in deepness with this meditative roller. Minimal and understated, saturated in depth, this is approaching the pinnacle of the scene that grew out of FWD and Plastic People. Timeless.

16) Panda Bear - Ponytail

Both Panda Bear and parent band, Animal Collective went through a period of a few years where they could do no wrong for me. I always thought of them as being like The Beach Boys but having lived through acid house and having added a healthy dose of MDMA to the psychedelic diet they were already knocking back in the 60s. This tune is like a signpost of the inevitable comedown, saying that the rave honeymoon is over, the euphoria’s gone. Still beautiful but fractured and more delicate. You just gotta love the refrain, “When my soul starts growing” which i like to mis-hear as “When my soul starts glowing”. If you’ve been there, you’ll know the feeling…

17) John Williams - Yub Nub

Well, what better way to finish than with the final piece of music heard in the finest sci-fi trilogy ever committed to film. Memories of this piece of music always fill me with a tinge of sadness, I remember being a kid and having watched a Star Wars marathon this tune was the pointer that it was all over, no more, you’ve done all 3 and there’s nothing more to watch haha. Still that melancholia has a little hold over me every time I hear it but really it’s the sound of hope and there’s a nice message there in the lyrics too if you care to listen out.]]>

You just gotta love the refrain, “When my soul starts growing” which i like to mis-hear as “When my soul starts glowing”. If you’ve been there, you’ll know the feeling…

17) John Williams - Yub Nub

Well, what better way to finish than with the final piece of music heard in the finest sci-fi trilogy ever committed to film. Memories of this piece of music always fill me with a tinge of sadness, I remember being a kid and having watched a Star Wars marathon this tune was the pointer that it was all over, no more, you’ve done all 3 and there’s nothing more to watch haha. Still that melancholia has a little hold over me every time I hear it but really it’s the sound of hope and there’s a nice message there in the lyrics too if you care to listen out.]]> 2224284 no no Sun, 05 Aug 2018 10:55:09 +0200 2018-08-05T10:55:09+02:00 1:17:54 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0518-beane-noodler/

**Tracklisting**

1) Leslie Bricusse And Anthony Newley - Pure Imagination

A thousand childhood memories tied up in one perfect song. DJ Harvey nicked my trick of opening a DJ set with it for his Boiler Room session a few years back and I͛ve still yet to have a word with him about that but we͛ll let it go for now, I͛ve got enough on my plate. Absolute tears of joy every time I hear this track.

2) Jeff Wayne - Eve Of The War

Scary as f*ck when you͛re force fed it as a kid via your old man as your mum͛s cooking the sunday roast. It͛s an amazing piece of music and still gives me chills today. The album came with the a book filled with an illustrators vision of HG Wells invasion story. Creepy as hell.

3) The Orb - Assassin

No Orb fans ever seem to talk about this track which makes me paranoid that it͛s the ͚black sheep͛ of that era or something but I͛ve always loved it. While many of my peers were lying in fields on mushrooms watching this live no doubt, I was a spotty 16 year old lying on my bed in Peterborough, listening to this while eating 8 slices of peanut butter and jam toast while daydreaming out window about just what that assassin looked like.

4) Nuyorican Soul - The Nervous Track

Impossible to gauge the effect Masters at Work have had on me, so many huge records they͛ve produced that sit proud in my collection but the Nuyorican Soul album was the ͚big un͛ and via their cover versions introduced me to Salsoul, Minnie Ripperton, Roy Ayers, Rotary Connection etc. ͚The Nervous Track͛ was one of the preceding singles and 21 years later has lost none of it͛s potency.

5) Seba & Lotek - So Long

The mother of all drum and bass drift outs. Sounded pretty epic in the 90͛s and still does to this day, even played it out again at a local old school night last year and still sounds incredible. Classic LTJ Bukem style long intros, outros and breakdowns but the best bit is the way the amen just sneaks up on yer out of nowhere.

6) Bent - Winter

A record I always like to listen to when it snows outside from the sadly no longer still together Bent crew. They were a fine Nottingham duo who made some wonderful records splashed with their unique sense of humour. They still make music individually but their Bent output will always hold a special place in my heart.

7) The Doors - Riders On The Storm

The Doors seem a bit marmite for some people don't they? I always loved em as a kid and ͚riders on the storm͛ is a personal fave. Classic and still gets dropped every now and then at an afterparty.

8) Bassheads - Is Anybody Out There

A 27p record on discogs these days but pure gold when you͛re 14 and watching top of the pops on a Thursday night rola cola-ed up to the max. We sometimes forget how mad the UK National charts were back at the start of the 90͛s. Rave culture had started to bleed into the mainstream and of course this wasn͛t the best record of that era, it͛s pretty commercial but one that sums up the spirit of the charts at the time.

9) Bassomatic - Fascinating Rhythm

Go and watch the live performance of this on YouTube from Dance Energy 1991 and I dare anyone in their late 30͛s/early 40͛s not to get goosebumps. Magical. Still bosh it out every now and then.

10) Helene Smith - You Got To Be A Man

A firm favourite, killer soul that I was introduced via one Soul Jazz Record͛s wonderful comps. The 7” goes for silly money but it ain͛t that one you want, grab the 12” for 3 quid. Such a powerful vocal.

11) Underworld - Rez

Not the biggest Underworld fan and but ͚Rez͛ slides in nicely. Goes on for what feels 4 days so a great toilet record when you really need to go.

12) Barry Miles - Magic Theatre

Jazz dance fusion at it͛s finest. 11 minutes of madness that I occasionally play out here in Nottingham at the Out To Lunch jazz dance session. Always sends em loopy but the record has a lot of history I guess down in London.

13) Vangelis - Blade Runner Main Titles

Impossible to pick a single tune off this but of course the track simply titled ͚main titles͛ is everybodies favourite. I almost can͛t listen to this if I͛m hungover as it all gets a bit emotional and I end up a bit of a wreck but a stunning piece of music.

14) DJ Rels - Diggin’ In Brownswood

The best broken beat record not made in west London. Maybe THE best broken beat record. Madlib giving it some under his ͚DJ Rels͛ alias and smacking it out of the park. When I first heard it you won͛t forget it and that͛s before you get to the absolute bananas breakdown that doesn͛t really make sense but just adds to it͛s appeal.

15) Timeline - Transition (4 Hero Remix)

West London remixes Detroit. They should of made a film. When ͚4 hero met Underground Resistance͛ would of been so much better that ͚When Harry Met Sally͛. What remix and still hugely underrated and I͛ve never understood why. To be fair it is a bit of a beast and it͛s got a full on rave vibe going on, would probably clear the floor these days but you know they͛d be back on by the end.]]>

**Tracklisting**

1) Joe Farrell - Too High - Penny Arcade LP - CTI
2) Stevie Wonder - They Won’t Go When I Go - Fulfillingness’ First Finale LP - Mowtown
3) Re:Jazz - Inner City Life - Points Of View LP - INFRAcom
4) Roy Ayres - What You Won’t Do For Love - Get On Up Get On Down LP - Polydor
5) Goldie - Sea Of Tears - Metalheadz 12”
6) Dr Octagon - Blue Flowers - Mo Wax 12”
7) The Cinematic Orchestra - Man With A Movie Camera - Everyday LP - Ninja Tune
8) Midlake - Roscoe ( Beyond The Wizard Sleeve Re:animation ) 10” - Is it Balearic Recordings
9) DJ Shadow - Organ Donor ( Extended Overhaul Mix ) 12” - Mo Wax
10) Tony Allen - Politely - A Tribute To Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers 10” - Blue Note

1) Joe Farrell - Too High - Penny Arcade LP - CTI

I got Penny Arcade from Jazzology resident Ill Treats, who’s currently doing his thing in the US. I’ve been real lucky with my residents, Treats being one of the UKs finest Hip Hop producers and The Tipster from the legendary Knowledge Of Self crew, who used to throw down some of the UKs finest Hip Hop parties in Brighton back in the 90’s / early 00’s. Between us we cover a whole range of angles, Jazz wise. Treats & Tipster’s record collection is riddled with all your favourite, known and lesser known Hip Hop samples.

To keep things extra fresh, we have guest crate diggers down each month to showcase their Jazz records too. Shout to Wil Howell, The Tipster, Ill Treats, all our guest DJs, the Jazzology / Black Dove crew and past / present bar staff. Its all of you that help make Jazzology what it is. Big up !

(For regular listeners of the Jazzology Radio Show on 1BTN, the outro music to the show uses an excerpt of “Jazz” written & produced by Ill Treats, feat: Glad2Mecha on mic duties…) This version of “Too High” has been played often at Jazzology over the last year. Solid stuff by Joe Farrell, also featuring one of my favourite pianists, Herbie Hancock. One of the many LP’s to look out for on the CTI label ( especially for the sample heads ).

2) Stevie Wonder - They Won’t Go When I Go - Fulfillingness’ First Finale LP - Mowtown

Continuing with Stevie Wonder, he was one of the many greats who was a big part of the musical backdrop to my childhood. I was blessed to have been exposed to such great music as a kid. This is one of my favourites from Stevie. Emotional…

3) Re:Jazz - Inner City Life - Points Of View LP - INFRAcom

This is a piece of music that needs more exposure. I feel 95% of the DnB world has no idea that this track even exists ( hopefully i’m wrong ).

Big up Goldie, Rob Playford, Diane Charlemagne (RIP) for the original and the Re:Jazz crew for such a great cover version of a track, that originally broke so many boundaries, sound and production wise… Timeless.

4) Roy Ayres - What You Won’t Do For Love - Get On Up Get On Down LP - Polydor

Roy Ayres is an artist i’ve still yet to see live !. There are many tracks I could have chosen from his back catalogue, including music from his RAMP project. This one’s a personal favourite. I love everything about this tune, and that vibes solo from Roy at the end of the track too..! Special.

5) Goldie - Sea Of Tears - Metalheadz 12”

As with Stevie Wonder, Goldie has been a big inspiration in my life, musically. I’ve had nothing but respect for the man since I first heard his music and record label Metalheadz back in the early 90’s. Not just for his music, also for the journey he’s been on, and what he’s achieved, personally and professionally.

People ( online, not to his face ) often criticise Goldie for having engineers and other producers to help him make his music but without Goldie, that music wouldn’t exist. He’s an artist, a visionary and a deep soul that’s influenced many.

Being fortunate enough to see Goldie & The Heritage Orchestra live in London back in 2015 was an emotional gig for all in attendance ( including the staff at the Royal Festival Hall ). Its a testament to his vision and determination to perform his debut LP from 1995 “Timeless” with a live Orchestra. ( I’m aware that Focusrite recorded it too…! fingers crossed this audio will be shared with us at some point. )

His label and the quality of the output that’s still being released all these years later, is also a testament to him and those within his close circle, past, present and future.

6) Dr Octagon - Blue Flowers - Mo Wax 12”

A lyrically deep hip hop cut that i originally heard on James Lavelle’s Cream Live 2 mix. One of those mixes that stayed in the tape player for many years, and Qberts cuts on this track..!! Deep stuff all ‘round.

( the mix is well worth diggin’ out, which can be found on youtube for those interested )

7) The Cinematic Orchestra - Man With A Movie Camera - Everyday LP - Ninja Tune

In regards to personally producing music, there are many tracks that resonate with me from various breakbeat driven genres that I wish i’d written. This is one of them.. The Cinematic Orchestra in general is one of those bands that hits the spot on so many levels. Such strong output since their debut LP “Motion” from 1999. They combine live instruments with modern electronic programming and sampling perfectly.

8) Midlake - Roscoe ( Beyond The Wizard Sleeve Re:animation ) 10” - Is it Balearic Recordings

Originally Jazz artists, who met at University in America who went on to form Midlake. This version from Beyond The Wizard Sleeve ( Erol Alkan and Richard Norris ) comes from one of my favourite surf films from 2009 “The Drifter” featuring Rob Machado.

The original version of this track is tight too. I’ve got a soft spot for American Folk / Folk Rock and need more in my collection… Along with Jazz its perfect music to listen to when on the search for some waves.

For those who don’t know, Jazz music was the original soundtrack to the first surf movies before the Beach Boys came along in the 60s. Check the OST “Slippery When Wet” from Bud Shank as a good example.

9) DJ Shadow - Organ Donor ( Extended Overhaul Mix ) 12” - Mo Wax

Shadow had a massive influence on my sound as a producer. The ultimate crate digger, who’s still pushing the envelope and moving forward with his craft. This is one of those beats that always goes down well when dropped at a gig !. A guaranteed crowd pleaser.

10) Tony Allen - Politely - A Tribute To Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers 10” - Blue Note

It would be rude not to include something from the mighty Blue Note Records. There are far too many to choose from this label, though this is a recent release that some of you might have missed.

I love the original from Art Blakey, so when I heard this, it was a piece of music that really hit home. Emotive with a lot of soul.

Its a great release overall, all the tracks and players on this EP are strong. If you find it buy it on sight. The price is rising quick though. Don’t sleep !]]>

7) The Cinematic Orchestra - Man With A Movie Camera - Everyday LP - Ninja Tune

In regards to personally producing music, there are many tracks that resonate with me from various breakbeat driven genres that I wish i’d written. This is one of them.. The Cinematic Orchestra in general is one of those bands that hits the spot on so many levels. Such strong output since their debut LP “Motion” from 1999. They combine live instruments with modern electronic programming and sampling perfectly.

8) Midlake - Roscoe ( Beyond The Wizard Sleeve Re:animation ) 10” - Is it Balearic Recordings

Originally Jazz artists, who met at University in America who went on to form Midlake. This version from Beyond The Wizard Sleeve ( Erol Alkan and Richard Norris ) comes from one of my favourite surf films from 2009 “The Drifter” featuring Rob Machado.

The original version of this track is tight too. I’ve got a soft spot for American Folk / Folk Rock and need more in my collection… Along with Jazz its perfect music to listen to when on the search for some waves.

For those who don’t know, Jazz music was the original soundtrack to the first surf movies before the Beach Boys came along in the 60s. Check the OST “Slippery When Wet” from Bud Shank as a good example.

9) DJ Shadow - Organ Donor ( Extended Overhaul Mix ) 12” - Mo Wax

Shadow had a massive influence on my sound as a producer. The ultimate crate digger, who’s still pushing the envelope and moving forward with his craft. This is one of those beats that always goes down well when dropped at a gig !. A guaranteed crowd pleaser.

10) Tony Allen - Politely - A Tribute To Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers 10” - Blue Note

It would be rude not to include something from the mighty Blue Note Records. There are far too many to choose from this label, though this is a recent release that some of you might have missed.

I love the original from Art Blakey, so when I heard this, it was a piece of music that really hit home. Emotive with a lot of soul.

Its a great release overall, all the tracks and players on this EP are strong. If you find it buy it on sight. The price is rising quick though. Don’t sleep !]]> Ill Treats, Russ Dewbury, Evil Ed, Mac McRaw, Rob Life, Jonny Cuba, Lascelle Gordon, Simon S, DJ Manipulate, Basement Phil, Aroe, DJ Prone, Justice, Metro, Gary Johnson & Gareth ( Mr Bongo ) plus many more, who have all graced the decks and supplied the heat. Expect to hear 50s - 70's Jazz, Bebop, Hardbop, Model, Indo Jazz, Spiritual Jazz to Fusion / Funk influenced Jazz and all that good stuff in between, including many samples you may have heard in Hip Hop & Jungle throughout the years... Shout to all the real world diggers, vinyl DJ’s and 1BTN for allowing me to share great music on their radio station. Thanks for opportunity to put something together for Dusk Dubs."

I’ve been real lucky with my residents, Treats being one of the UKs finest Hip Hop producers and The Tipster from the legendary Knowledge Of Self crew, who used to throw down some of the UKs finest Hip Hop parties in Brighton back in the 90’s / early 00’s. Between us we cover a whole range of angles, Jazz wise. Treats & Tipster’s record collection is riddled with all your favourite, known and lesser known Hip Hop samples. To keep things extra fresh, we have guest crate diggers down each month to showcase their Jazz records too. Shout to Wil Howell, The Tipster, Ill Treats, all our guest DJs, the Jazzology / Black Dove crew and past / present bar staff. Its all of you that help make Jazzology what it is. ]]> 2180458 no no Sun, 22 Jul 2018 10:10:15 +0200 2018-07-22T10:10:15+02:00 1:13:56 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/the-full-spectrum-027/

Time: 85 minutes
Date: 2018-07-15

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Havoc to the DuskDubs Family.

Hailing from Belgium, Jim has been a vinyl collector since the mid 90s - loving all things old school jungle, hardcore, breakbeat and early drum & bass, alongside a keen exploration with all kinds of electronica, jazz, soundtracks, downtempo, instrumentals, ambient and everything in between.

"First I would like to thank the Dusk Dubs crew for inviting me. My selection contains 21 tracks, first half will be dedicated to Belgian bands and producers from back in the days until now. Expect a beautiful mess of jazz rock fusion funk but also electronics ambient soundtrack and instrumentals or library stuff.

Hope you enjoy it."

**Tracklisting**

'66 to ’86

1) Frank Zappa. Peaches En Regalia / Hot Rats. I loved following the changes and the triumphant and playful tones in ‘Peaches'.. The funkiness of it and the mad tapestry of sounds. Featured on a Sunday Times compilation LP entitled ‘Rock Revelations’ that my Dad bought in the 70’s which was a window into a brilliant array of musical worlds, unlike the pop that my youthful ears had been attuned to. The LPs influence on me is inestimable and so quite a few tunes in this list are plucked from it.​

2) Compared To What - McCaan and Harris / Swiss Movement. Also first heard on ST LP As relevant now as the day it was recorded live at the Montreal festival in 69. Profound work. Written by Eugene / Gene Mcdaniels who also wrote Feel Like Makin Love for Roberta Flack and Headless Heroes Of The Apocalypse

3) You’re All I Need To Get By - Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terelle / Motown Chartbusters Vol 3. An LP that received heavy heavy plays and rotation in the Cobby house when I was growing up. Had to include something from it. Went with Marvin and Tammi as he’s a genius and very high in my all time uber-dons list.

4) Another early love was the LP ‘Tom Cat’ by Tom Scott and the L.A. Express. Refried is taken from it. Fathers purchase again. I have him to thank for my love of solid grooves. I’d sit listening to this album on the headphones dreaming of all things American and how cool it was. I was the 70’s I was weaned on Kojak, Starsky and Hutch, The Rockford Files, McMillan and Wife, Ironside, Cannon, McCleod and Columbo.

5) Regiment - Byrne and Eno / My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts. The LP that fundamentally changed my outlook. I’d never come across or seriously considered incorporating sonic objet trouve into tracks. Be that from the radio, or lps or the TV. All presented on this magnificent LP.

6) Talking Heads - Listening Wind / Remain In Light. A song that has become more pertinent as the years have elapsed with its subject matter addressing foreign occupation, the concept of one mans freedom fighter being another mans terrorist.. Eno production and Adrian Belew adding top sonic textures with his guitar treatments and colours make it sonically very similar to Bush Of Ghosts.

7) Steely Dan - Home At Last / Aja. I was in my late teens before I started to ‘get’ Steely Dan. Id dismissed them as FM schmaltz as a young lad listening to Led Zep and Pink Floyd but soon woke up to the writing craft and production wizardry of Messrs Fagan and Becker. A sterling back catalogue.

8) Captain Beefheart - My Head Is My Only Home / Clear Spot. My favourite LP by Don Van Vliet, his eccentricity perfectly corralled by Bob Clearmountains disciplined production. A Tour de force. First heard via Baz Sharp, who was an HVAC engineer that our kid was apprentice to.

9) Tim Buckley – Dolphins / Morning Glory. Another selection from ‘Rock Revelations’. I was drawn to all things melancholic as a youth and nothing has really altered that attraction. Fred Neil penned this existential masterpiece which I coincidentally went on to cover with my band Heights Of Abraham many years later.

10) Blue Nile is another one from the Dad quadrant. He’d bought it after hearing ‘Tinseltown' on the radio apparently. More wistful gear….

11) Adrian Sherwoods more experimental production style was a massive influence when I was learning to record and produce and On U sound was a go-to label that rarely put a foot wrong. Loved all the Head Charge stuff and also Tackhead especially.

12) I loved Althea and Donna, Ken Boothe and Bob Marley, but if a reggae song didn’t get in the charts, I never heard it. My hometown wasn’t multicultural enough to warrant the shops to stock it and no one was playing it on the radio. That all changed when i met David Brennand a.k.a. Porky. who was renting a room in a shared house that my girlfriend at the time was living in. His reggae collection was immense. It was a schooling. I thank him for that. I was drawn to the dub stuff especially. Using the studio as an instrument would become a cornerstone of my approach and I have Lee Perry and King Tubby to thank for inspiring that. All heroes.

13) Cabaret Voltaire came into my life via John Bird, my uncle. His record collection was amazing. Like the John Peel show in hard form. I rifled it whenever I visited and the Cabs jumped out. Red Mecca and Voice Of America lp’s didn’t sound like music as I knew it. Lot of incoherent noise in there and atonal goings on.. I was appalled and intrigued at the same time. I would later get into them in a big way. Microphones and Crackdown are landmark LP’s. I went on to work with Richard and Steve who became and still is a very good friend. See the note for Nelson below. Same applies here.

14) I’ve picked this 7” version of Moonlight by TD for time restraints wouldn’t allow me to drop the 18 minute version from ‘Encore’, their live LP from 77. An LP my elder brother brought into the house that I hammered incessantly for years. It sounded fresh as new paint in the 70’s. An array of electronically generated sounds coupled with a classical approach to arranging plus improvisation and ad hoc tackle. Seminal. Never gets old.

15) Bill Nelson. Wherever my old mate Chris Wardell is, I have him to thank for turning me onto Bill Nelson and Magazine. They both had a massive impact. I didn’t much care for Be Bop Deluxe, but once Bill went solo I was in. A huge influence… His 'Quit Dreaming And Get On The Beam' LP had a bonus LP ‘Sounding The Ritual Echo’ tucked in with it that was all instrumentals and is where this track’s taken from. I loved that album. He recorded it at home on basic equipment so it had a very appealing lo-fi quality to it. I was fortunate enough to meet and work with him in the 80’s. They say never meet your heroes but he turned out to be a wonderful human being.

16) Miles Davis – All Blues / Kind Of Blue. Again I wasn’t hearing much Jazz as a kid. Apart from a bit of Jazz-Funk courtesy of Tom Scott and Co. Then a lad called Chris who worked in a clothes shop alongside the market place I was working in lent me a cassette tape with Kind Of Blue on the A side and A Love Supreme by John Coltrane on the B. Properly opened me up to it. What better pair of ‘gateway’ Lps could you wish for? I imagine things would have turned out very differently if it had been Archie Shepp and Ornette Coleman.

17) Eno again, but this time in a production capacity as he twiddles the Hansa Studio knobs for Mr Bowie. I first heard Heroes in a friend of a friends flat I’d stumbled back to after the pub in my early drinking days. The A side is ace of course but the flip side was the first time I’d heard anything remotely ‘ambient’ ….I was entranced. I also remember waking up there the next morning and looking over to see Rob Eslor asleep in a puddle of his own piss.

18) I was never a massive fan of Japan, but once David Sylvian started exploring the ambient side of things I was hooked. Gone To Earth LP2 is a stunning section of textures, minimal approaches and treatments that captivated me from the off. Bill Nelson plays lead acoustic guitar on this track.

19) Led Zeppelin - Bron Yr Aur / Led Zep III. Very big Zep fan around 12/13 years old. Big brothers introduction again. They’re homogenous now, but they still felt ‘underground’ when I came across them. Certainly didn’t see or hear them performing on TV or Radio. Obviously they were selling huge amounts of LPs and doing packed out shows to thousands, but all of it was away from the zeitgeists glare. When they did get referenced they were marginalised as 'heavy metal', which amused me no end. John Bonham is one of the funkiest drummers Ive heard. Picked a pastoral number to fit in with the playlist vibe.

20) I do love Brian. I didn’t set out to feature him so heavily, but he obviously deserves a front seat considering how much of his work has seeded my ideas. Iconoclast, pioneer and general maker of good and interesting things. Erudite and engaging when discussing ideas. A signpost as I was learning my craft. Chapeau Eno! . . . Apollo is an extraordinary LP. Which has serviced many an altered state. A fitting end.]]>
Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Steve Cobby
Title: DD0514
Style: Soul, Jazz, Fusion, Rock, Dub, Post-Punk, Ambient
Time: 87 minutes
Date: 2018-07-01

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we are very proud and excited to invite producer, artist, label owner, and of course one half of Fila Brazillia... Mr Steve Cobby to the Dusk Dubs family, who takes us on a musical journey from '66 to 86', back to the songs and artists that shaped him before the age of 20.

**Tracklisting**

'66 to ’86

1) Frank Zappa. Peaches En Regalia / Hot Rats. I loved following the changes and the triumphant and playful tones in ‘Peaches'.. The funkiness of it and the mad tapestry of sounds. Featured on a Sunday Times compilation LP entitled ‘Rock Revelations’ that my Dad bought in the 70’s which was a window into a brilliant array of musical worlds, unlike the pop that my youthful ears had been attuned to. The LPs influence on me is inestimable and so quite a few tunes in this list are plucked from it.​

2) Compared To What - McCaan and Harris / Swiss Movement. Also first heard on ST LP As relevant now as the day it was recorded live at the Montreal festival in 69. Profound work. Written by Eugene / Gene Mcdaniels who also wrote Feel Like Makin Love for Roberta Flack and Headless Heroes Of The Apocalypse

3) You’re All I Need To Get By - Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terelle / Motown Chartbusters Vol 3. An LP that received heavy heavy plays and rotation in the Cobby house when I was growing up. Had to include something from it. Went with Marvin and Tammi as he’s a genius and very high in my all time uber-dons list.

4) Another early love was the LP ‘Tom Cat’ by Tom Scott and the L.A. Express. Refried is taken from it. Fathers purchase again. I have him to thank for my love of solid grooves. I’d sit listening to this album on the headphones dreaming of all things American and how cool it was. I was the 70’s I was weaned on Kojak, Starsky and Hutch, The Rockford Files, McMillan and Wife, Ironside, Cannon, McCleod and Columbo.

5) Regiment - Byrne and Eno / My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts. The LP that fundamentally changed my outlook. I’d never come across or seriously considered incorporating sonic objet trouve into tracks. Be that from the radio, or lps or the TV. All presented on this magnificent LP.

6) Talking Heads - Listening Wind / Remain In Light. A song that has become more pertinent as the years have elapsed with its subject matter addressing foreign occupation, the concept of one mans freedom fighter being another mans terrorist.. Eno production and Adrian Belew adding top sonic textures with his guitar treatments and colours make it sonically very similar to Bush Of Ghosts.

7) Steely Dan - Home At Last / Aja. I was in my late teens before I started to ‘get’ Steely Dan. Id dismissed them as FM schmaltz as a young lad listening to Led Zep and Pink Floyd but soon woke up to the writing craft and production wizardry of Messrs Fagan and Becker. A sterling back catalogue.

8) Captain Beefheart - My Head Is My Only Home / Clear Spot. My favourite LP by Don Van Vliet, his eccentricity perfectly corralled by Bob Clearmountains disciplined production. A Tour de force. First heard via Baz Sharp, who was an HVAC engineer that our kid was apprentice to.

9) Tim Buckley – Dolphins / Morning Glory. Another selection from ‘Rock Revelations’. I was drawn to all things melancholic as a youth and nothing has really altered that attraction. Fred Neil penned this existential masterpiece which I coincidentally went on to cover with my band Heights Of Abraham many years later.

10) Blue Nile is another one from the Dad quadrant. He’d bought it after hearing ‘Tinseltown' on the radio apparently. More wistful gear….

11) Adrian Sherwoods more experimental production style was a massive influence when I was learning to record and produce and On U sound was a go-to label that rarely put a foot wrong. Loved all the Head Charge stuff and also Tackhead especially.

12) I loved Althea and Donna, Ken Boothe and Bob Marley, but if a reggae song didn’t get in the charts, I never heard it. My hometown wasn’t multicultural enough to warrant the shops to stock it and no one was playing it on the radio. That all changed when i met David Brennand a.k.a. Porky. who was renting a room in a shared house that my girlfriend at the time was living in. His reggae collection was immense. It was a schooling. I thank him for that. I was drawn to the dub stuff especially. Using the studio as an instrument would become a cornerstone of my approach and I have Lee Perry and King Tubby to thank for inspiring that. All heroes.

13) Cabaret Voltaire came into my life via John Bird, my uncle. His record collection was amazing. Like the John Peel show in hard form. I rifled it whenever I visited and the Cabs jumped out. Red Mecca and Voice Of America lp’s didn’t sound like music as I knew it. Lot of incoherent noise in there and atonal goings on.. I was appalled and intrigued at the same time. I would later get into them in a big way. Microphones and Crackdown are landmark LP’s. I went on to work with Richard and Steve who became and still is a very good friend. See the note for Nelson below. Same applies here.

14) I’ve picked this 7” version of Moonlight by TD for time restraints wouldn’t allow me to drop the 18 minute version from ‘Encore’, their live LP from 77. An LP my elder brother brought into the house that I hammered incessantly for years. It sounded fresh as new paint in the 70’s. An array of electronically generated sounds coupled with a classical approach to arranging plus improvisation and ad hoc tackle. Seminal. Never gets old.

15) Bill Nelson. Wherever my old mate Chris Wardell is, I have him to thank for turning me onto Bill Nelson and Magazine. They both had a massive impact.

They say never meet your heroes but he turned out to be a wonderful human being.

Time: 120 minutes
Date: 2018-06-17

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week Dusk Dubs invites multi-talented... Label Owner, Music Journalist and DJ Dom Servini, to take us on a very personal journey through his musical memories and influences.

Dom Servini is a legend of the eclectic music scene in London. As co-owner of the Wah Wah 45s record label, and resident DJ at their club and live events, as well as being an internationally respected turntablist, Dom knows not only how to rock a party, but also has the knack for finding an exciting new artist or two. Dom has been responsible for signing Honeyfeet, Hackney Colliery Band, The Milk, Dele Sosimi, Resonators and many more.

Dom is also an experienced music journalist, and was singles editor for jazz bible Straight No Chaser from 2003, then its offshoot Shook, followed by his own double-spread in the black music monthly, Echoes magazine, and now writes regularly for the highly respected Bandcamp website as well as the resurgent SNC, back after a long hiatus.

As a radio DJ, Dom hosts his own monthly radio show on both Soho and Netil Radio, as well as a Wah Wah Radio show with label partner Adam Scrimshire. Both the latter and Dom’s previous weekly show on Back2Back FM have been shortlisted in the Mixcloud Awards, and the Wah Wah Radio Show won Best International Funk & Soul Radio Show 2014.

Dom was also recently ranked by FACT Magazine as number 7 in the Top

100 Most Underrated DJs on the planet!

Over the past two and a half decades Dom has played across the globe, from touring Japan, North America and Australia, to regular gigs in Europe. UK gigs have included residencies with Gilles Peterson as well as currently the famous South London Soul Train, Oval Space and weekly Fridays at The Jazz Café. Dom is a festival regular and has played The Big Chill, Soundwave Croatia, Lovebox, and Bestival to name but a few, and every year DJs and hosts the Southern Soul Festival (which he co-founded) in Montenegro.

His energetic and open-minded mix of anything soulful, be it afro-beat, jazz, house or hip hop, make him a club favourite.

In my late teens and early 20s I was living in Brighton whilst studying. I somehow found myself in the legendary Jazz Rooms (ironically only one room) most weekends. There I listened to Rob Luis play at his early Huggies’ Disco club night; Norman Cook playing soul and disco before he became a Fatboy; and Russ Dewbury spinning latin and club-jazz at the Jazz Rooms night. I’ll never forget the first time I heard this masterpiece of foot friendly, soulful spiritual jazz – it opened my mind to what could be played on a dance floor and changed my record buying habits right there and then.

2) Young Disciples - All I Have In Me (Original Musiquarium Mix)
The 90s was the decade when all of my musical influences (both realised and subliminal) came together, and Gilles Peterson was a hugely important influence in that. His seminal imprint, Talkin’ Loud, was easily my favourite label at that time. I was a fan boy – I still am – and looking back, the Young Disciples Road To Freedom album is easily one of the most important releases in British black music, period. This extended, string filled remix of one of the album highlights is an evergreen alternative club banger for me, and Demus (AKA Dilip Harris) is without a doubt one of the most talented and unsung producers to work in this country in the last thirty years.

3) Wham! - Everything She Wants
Ah, George. What a loss. What a songwriter, what a voice and what a man - soul boy, pop star and warrior for social justice. He was my hero before I even realised he was most of these things. Wham! took over from Madness as my favourite ‘band’ of the 80s. For me it was catchy pop music, but, as is often the case, it’s only when we look back on this music with a more developed palate that we realise its true influences. Wham! were steeped in soul, and this song, for me, is their finest moment. It still sounds good in a disco.

4) Sade – Paradise
When I moved out of my grandparents’ house in the early 80s, Sade moved in - possibly with Robert Elms (but I might be making that bit up to improve the story). I remember vaguely being into her music back then, but again as a child a lot of it passed me by. It’s only now that I have a huge passion for her output, and this song comes recommended for immediate transportation to the beach, should you ever need it!

5) A Tribe Called Quest - Luck of Lucien
There’s something very quasi-Brexit about listening to this song now. My personal favourite from most definitely my top hip hop outfit of all time. I remember the first time I heard Peoples Instinctive Travels.. (from which this is taken) and much the same as with the Donald Byrd record, it changed the way I thought about music, and as a fledgling DJ, the way I as trying to move dance floors. It also combines a wry sense of humour with what is a very funky little hip hop record. That Billy Brooks sample! Oooof!

6) Young-Holt Unlimited - Wah Wah Man
In ’99 Hospital Records boss Chris Goss and his brother Simon asked me to join them as a resident at their weekly Friday night Wah Wah club session at The Jazz Café in Camden Town. It took me about one second to answer that question and a year later I joined their record label too. I soon went from having no siblings to two ready-made brothers in music, and I have to dedicate this song to Simon, who we sadly lost to lung cancer in 2010 and miss dreadfully every single day.

7) Weldon Irvine - Music Is The Key
Just a beautiful moment where my two great musical loves – soul and jazz – meet to create something truly special, and with a message that means so much to me. I’ve become something of a musical obsessive (especially in recent years) and even though family and friends have taken centre stage in my life (especially since becoming a husband and father!) I still believe that music is the key!

8) Steely Dan – Aja
Best album of all time. There, I’ve said it. I could have picked any track from this album really (although maybe not Peg) but seeing as it’s a regular on Dusk Dubs and Scrimshire picked my other favourite from the album, Deacon Blues, I had to go for the title track. Steely Dan remind me of my late father. Without me really realising it, he set my taste in “blue-eyed soul” from an early age. Billy Joel, Chicago, The Doobies and Gerry Rafferty were regulars on our home hi-fi, although it was Steely Dan that I came back to with a vengeance in later life. In the late 90s I moved into a flat with my mate Rob, a Dan obsessive, in Highgate, North London. His encyclopaedic knowledge of Becker and Fagan fuelled the fire for me and I’ve been a Dan nerd ever since.

9) Rufus & Chaka Khan – Destiny
I became a teenager the year I Feel For You came out. Chaka hit number one with that song and I immediately fell in love with her and her voice. Once again, I spent most of the 90s discovering her much better back catalogue, especially the music she recorded with her band, Rufus. I think it was Gilles I first heard play Destiny and I’m pretty sure it made me cry with its tender, soul/jazz aesthetic, those keys and that voice soaring sweetly in between.

10) Mark Murphy - My Favourite Things
I went to drama school in the late 70s and early 80s. I was a bit of a stage struck child, and even made an advert and featured in a couple of episodes of Grange Hill! What I did do a lot of though, was act in musicals. Having seen The Sound of Music at least every Christmas for the first decade or two of my life, I always (perhaps slightly guiltily) enjoyed the music, but never realised how much jazz there was in it. My Favourite Things is, for me, the highlight of that film and has become a standard ever since, recorded by many jazz greats, and otherwise. Mark Murphy’s version, though, is the one for me. What a voice! Smooth like butter baby, and always reminds me of the weekly jam session of the same name that myself and Hugo Mendez used to run in the early 00s.

11) Bruce Forsyth - The Candyman
Those who don’t know me might find this a strange addition, but for those who do it’ll make complete sense. When Brucie passed away last summer it felt a bit like I’d lost a grandparent. I know that might sound ridiculous, but aside from him being a one-off entertainer, jazz lover, and all round legend, I also had something of a personal connection with him. Bruce grew up in North London, not a million miles away from where I did, somehow managed to support my football club (Arsenal) as well as our bitter rivals Tottenham (a lovely idea in theory) and also went to the same school as me (many years before I did, I hasten to add). In 1998, I was asked by a friend to DJ at Brucie’s Price is Right end of series party up at Yorkshire Television in Leeds. Apparently Bruce wanted some “latin rhythms”! I not only did the gig, but got to chat to the man himself and sit in the audience for the show where I witnessed his boundless energy, good nature and rare common touch. He definitely touched my life, even as much that his penchant for calling everyone “my love” has been taken on as a term of endearment by myself and my close group of school friends, and when he passed away I received dozens of messages asking if I was OK - quite surreal. I’m sure a lot of people felt like that about Brucie though, a man who was constantly in the corner of our living rooms for over seventy years, and, it should be noted, was a bloody good dancer and pianist as well as all-round entertainer. I played this song at the end of my set at the South London Soul Train the weekend after he died to 500 bemused twenty-somethings. Joyous.

12) Super George & The Super Band – Fantasy
2005. Something of a landmark year for me. I made my debut DJ trip to Japan and while out there picked up this sublime big band version of the Earth, Wind and Fire classic. I then went on my first tour of the U.S.A. and Canada, fostering lots of strong friendships I still have to this day, came back, quit my job of twelve years to DJ and run a record label full time, only to get caught up in the 7/7 bombings but thankfully come through unscathed - quite a year indeed.

13. Frank Sinatra - Drinking Water (Aqua de Beber)
My mum was a member of The Frank Sinatra Music Society when I was growing up. It’s pretty much all she played at home and I guess was a very safe introduction to jazz for me. Saying that, Sinatra’s voice has rarely been bettered, and this album with Jobim and Deodato on production duties provided a gentle gateway into Brazilian music for me too.

14. Nina Simone – Baltimore
Another gateway record, this time into reggae and dub. I came into those genres much later in life, largely through signing dub outfit Resonators to Wah Wah 45s. Nina Simone is probably my favourite female voice of all, and this diversion into the world of reggae for her is part of an album of hits and misses into other musical territories for her. Lucky this is one of the former, and provided me with a platform to go and dig deeper into the world of real reggae, dub and roots music, which I’ve been doing ever since.

15). Madness - Take It or Leave It
My first favourite band - I got into Madness in the late 70s when I was about 8 or 9 years old. Again for me it was catchy pop music, but their ska, dub and even soul influences are evidently abundant looking back all these years on. This song certainly wouldn’t have been one of my favourites at the time (I was more of a Baggy Trousers kinda guy) but I really appreciate it now as a soulful, melancholic pop-ska gem.

16) Herbert - The Audience
My favourite house-not-house record for sure, and a deeply emotional masterpiece from Matthew Herbert and the amazing Dani Siciliano on vocals. I’ve never really heard anything like this before or since - a very special record that was something of a love song for me in the early 00s.

17) Joni Mitchell - Edith & the Kingpin
Joni comes a close second place to Nina in the vocal rankings for me. Hissing of the Summer Lawns is a magnificent and original LP and this story of Edith is something of a proto-feminist anthem to my ears. It’s a tune that sparks bittersweet feelings every time I hear it.

18) Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - Winter in America
Talking of vocal rankings, this guy is my number one fella. No one comes close to Gilbert. This recording with long standing collaborator Brian Jackson is still as relevant today as it was back in 1974, perhaps even more so. It’s not hard to imagine what Gil would have made of the Trump presidency, had he lived to see it unfold, or what he would have been writing about right now. Winter in America, like much of Heron’s music, transcends time and space and shows us that ultimately things haven’t really changed that much, and that revolutionary wordsmiths like him are needed today just as much as they ever were!

19) Penny Goodwin - Too Soon You're Old
A song I’m definitely feeling more and more these days. I believe I first heard Patrick Forge play this on Kiss in the very early 90s, and it’s one that resonates more and more as the years quickly slide by - a lesson for us all by the wonderful voice that is Penny Goodwin.

20) Santana - Light of Life
This was a song, along with Jonny Hammond’s Can’t We Smile, that I had on a mix-tape I was given by someone I knew briefly in about 1993 and spent years trying to work out what it was. This was of course long before Shazam, Discogs and the internet in general, so it was something of a challenge. It was only when these resources became available that I found out that this haunting slice of soul/jazz was courtesy of Carlos Santana, and is possibly the highlight from his 1973 Welcome. I was also able to find out who was responsible for those lush vocals - none other than Leon Thomas, and more about him in a moment.

21) Richie Havens – Sugarplums
I have to thank Mr Sean McAuliffe for this one – ex-resident at Plastic People and a young man I had the pleasure to work and hang with at Soho record shop Release The Groove from time to time several years ago. Sean always had exquisite taste, and this almost meditative moment from Richie Havens now provides the perfect lullaby for my two-year-old son.

22) Chicago - Happy 'Cause I'm Going Home
Another band I discovered through my dad – initially via tracks like Hard To Say I’m Sorry, which I always remember him posting through the door on 7-inch single after an argument with my mum – but then later through Masters at Work sampling Street Player. This track, though, hits the spot for me, and sums up how I feel these days even after the best club session has come to an end.

23) Leon Thomas - Shape Your Mind To Die
I had to finish with this one - perhaps a bit morbid, but it comes to us all and we better be ready. This Leon Thomas joint was a bit floor filler for me in the 90s and still does it for me today. It’s quite a dark record to play in a club with its spooky piano intro, off-kilter violins, Middle-Eastern percussion and Leon’s haunting yodelling (necessitated when he fell down a flight of stairs and lost his front teeth!) but it’s one that leaves me with goose-bumps every time, and hopefully that’s how it’ll leave you at the end of this musical journey.]]>

Time: 120 minutes
Date: 2018-06-17

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week Dusk Dubs invites multi-talented... Label Owner, Music Journalist and DJ Dom Servini, to take us on a very personal journey through his musical memories and influences.

As a radio DJ, Dom hosts his own monthly radio show on both Soho and Netil Radio, as well as a Wah Wah Radio show with label partner Adam Scrimshire. Both the latter and Dom’s previous weekly show on Back2Back FM have been shortlisted in the Mixcloud Awards, and the Wah Wah Radio Show won Best International Funk & Soul Radio Show 2014.

Dom was also recently ranked by FACT Magazine as number 7 in the Top

23) Leon Thomas - Shape Your Mind To Die

1) Donald Byrd – Elijah
In my late teens and early 20s I was living in Brighton whilst studying. I somehow found myself in the legendary Jazz Rooms (ironically only one room) most weekends. There I listened to Rob Luis play at his early Huggies’ Disco club night; Norman Cook playing soul and disco before he became a Fatboy; and Russ Dewbury spinning latin and club-jazz at the Jazz Rooms night. I’ll never forget the first time I heard this masterpiece of foot friendly, soulful spiritual jazz – it opened my mind to what could be played on a dance floor and changed my record buying habits right there and then.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we we invite music fan, DJ and Producer Cyclonix aka John Wilcox to the Dusk Dubs family, with a journey through some of his favourite records, that have inspired him over the years.

Previously holding up a bi-weekly radio show "Future Beats" on MYHOUSEYOURHOUSE from 2008 to 2015, you can now catch him on the excellent and recommended Nuwave Radio.

Check his latest release on Tusk Wax - "Tusk Wax Twenty Four" (TW 24) available at all good record shops.

Firs trip hop and then 00s west coast wonky.

4) Santana - Mirage [CBS] 1974

My girlfriend, now wife introduced me to Santana. This is one of the catchiest tunes off the 'Borboletta' album. I've gone on to buy most of the original 70s albums.

6) Herbie Hancock Sly [CBS] 1974

A jazz fusion classic off a classic album. Always goes down well at the Out to Lunch Jazz dance session I frequent occasionally in Nottingham.

James brown is the way I discovered the funk.

7) Public Enemy – Can’t Do Nuttin’ For Ya Man (Bass In Ya Face Remix) [Def Jam] 1990

Reminds me of going to funk nights where this was played.

9) De La Soul - Jenifa Taught Me (Derwin's Revenge) [Tommy Boy] 1989

From the amazing 'Two Pages' album. 4-Hero's productions are very influential.

Rupert Parkes drum programming and futuristic sound were unequalled and unsurpassed in the 90s dnb scene.

14) Whistle - Buggin Much Hard [Champion] 1986

A mix of “Just Buggin” that hit the charts and still sounds good with it's electro beats.

15) Herbie Hancock – Sly [Columbia] 1973

Herbie jazz fusion craziness.

This is the sort of broken beat which I think has stood the test of time and still sounds good and original now.

17) Tom and Jerry – Maximum Style [Tom & Jerry] 1994

This was featured on the first drum and bass compilation I bought in 1994. Memorible tune!

I’m a big Nubian Mindz Fan and this remix is a great example of his broken techno style.

19) LTJ Buken – Horizons [Looking Good] 1995

LTJ Buken and MC Conrad. What a combination. One of my most memorable club nights was at the End with them two.

Title: DD0509
Style: Gil Scott Heron
Time: 59 minutes
Date: 2018-05-27

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Asphalt Layer with a musical love letter to one of his biggest influences - Musician, Poet, and Author Gil Scott-Heron.

"There are so man Gil records that I love, that move me, inspire me and make my day brighter, make me feel humble and also stronger on a regular basis. I wanted to share these with you" [ASPHALT LAYER]

Style: house, soul, jungle
Time: 80 minutes

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Alex Nino to the Dusk Dubs family.

"I've been a life long music obsessive / collector. I pestered my folks for a keyboard and a decent stereo with a turntable before my 11th birthday. I discovered pirate radio shortly afterwards and went on to study sound engineering at college in 1995. My main preference has always been towards dance and electronic music and I think the selection here shows that.

I've tried really hard not to go for anything obscure simply for obscurity's sake, and likewise to not be discouraged from including anything I think is great, just because of its popularity or critical acclaim. I think there's a good mix of tempos, eras, genres, and that hopefully all of these combine to give the listener a good idea of what I'm about, musically. I'm not a huge vinyl snob but all of these are vinyl recordings, it just happened that way....

Thanks to men like Andrea Nibbers, both the Daves [Nucleus and Trax] and Michael Errity [Flatliner] for introducing me to Dusk Dubs". [Alex Nino]

**Tracklisting**

1) Hugh Mundell - Going Places -This tune seemed to follow me around for a while, didn't know who it was but loved the lo-fi-ness of it and the production absolutely has classic dub stamped all over it. Glad I tracked it down with some help from fellow music lovers online.

2) Carroll Thompson - Smiling In The Morning - One that I just picked up at random and got to like a lot, there's a very warm Caribbean flavour coming off of it, makes me feel like going on a nice holiday somewhere tropical!

3) Talvin Singh - Traveller - I almost didn't include this as it's quite well known, after all he won the Mercury Music Prize in 1999 for this LP. I really think it's an amazing piece of work, the strings section is breathtaking. Cleveland Watkiss is credited on this too, which is always a bonus.

4) Flytronix - Birth Of The Cool - I bought this on the strength of Moving Shadow as a label, absolutely untouchable in the early and mid 90s for the hardcore and jungle output. Wasn't expecting this! TC Izlam was a cracking lyricist, RIP.

5) Instra:Mental - Futurist - I'm a big fan of Instra:Mental and the whole 'Autonomic' style that developed out of the more experimental drum and bass. D - Bridge's Exit Records shifted drum and bass intro truly cinematic territory and into the realms where not just 'ravers' were into it, it transcended the nightclub scene I suppose and became more serious.

6) D - Bridge - Let That Shit Ride - 1995 was a great year for jungle, as anyone who's been into the scene long enough would tell you. I've always loved how this one's quite simple in vibe but so perfectly executed.

7) Trevino - Backtracking - As a longtime fan of Marcus Intalex I don't think I could choose a playlist without including something of his. He's more well known for his drum and bass, but I think his techno stuff as Trevino still has his signature. Melodic and beautiful. RIP Marcus. I've seen a dancefloor full of folks get their lighters out and hold a vigil for him, the same day we learned of his death, and that memory makes me very very lucky to have been there.

8) Red Snapper - Bussing - I bought everything I ever saw by Red Snapper, and choosing which track to have here was really really hard. Instrumental hip hop to die for, luscious.

9) Jeffrey Darnell - Living On The Edge - This featured on a Talkin' Loud CD I stumbled across in a charity shop, and I had to have it. I love the floaty atmosphere of the tune and the sunshiney vibe, can make the most grey day better instantly.

10) Rhyming In Fives - Mnemonic - I had to include something from Narratives Music on here. Their quality control is outrageous. This is from the 'Light Leaks' EP and I think it's beautiful.

11) Hidden Turn - Nothing - Hidden Turn makes music that is at once organic, warm, surprising and very different. He's a Manchester man living and working in Brazil and his music always captures something ethnic. I think he's very very talented and he is so far the ONLY artist to have had an LP release on Doc Scott's label, 31.

12) Big Bud - Faceless - A longtime favourite of mine, this 12 has 'New Vision' on the other side and is really one I can never tire of. Expert - level atmospherics throughout.

13) Danny Breaks - Beat Biter [Matian Instrumental] - Danny Breaks aka Son'z Of A loop da Loop Era came through from Essex in the early 90s with hardcore, developed as an artist through jungle and breakbeaty drum and bass, but I like his instrumental hip - hop output best. His 'Droppin Science' releases are great too! ]]>

**Tracklisting**

1) Fun Boy Three – Faith, Hope & Charity (Nappa Edit)­
The first 45 I bought because of The Lunantics... on the flip, this version is a little Nappa edit for Muj.

2) Kraftwerk – It’s More Fun To Compute
Kraftwerk what's more to say?

3) Cybotron – Clear
Fantastic early electro from the pioneering Cybotron still sounds fresh today 35 years on!!

4) G.L.O.B.E. & Whiz Kid – Play That Beat Mr. DJ.
Taken from one of my favourite LPs "Tommy Boy's Greatest Beats" the whole LP brings back great memories of trying to break dance on a bit of card board in a mates front room.

5) Tuff Lille Unit – Join The Future
From the best bleep label ever... many favourites... this is one of them. I loved mixing for hours in my parents loft back when I had no mortgage.

6) Forgemasters – Track With No Name
More Warp... classic from 89 related to above!

7) Ability II – Pressure Dub
Deep, Epic, Bassy Black Beauty

8) The Wizard And The Prince – The Wizard Is A Genius
Quirky, raw, triply bleeps reminds me of the Dungeons. Mixes well with 07

9) Justice – Aquisse
Long time friend, mentor and collaborator Justice's finest.

10) A Tribe Called Quest – If The Papes Come
Hip hop like electro played/plays a big part none more so than ATCQ especially for the love of Jazz sampling.

11) Soho – Hot Music
This is a kind of cross over tune for me I had forgotten about until recently when out in London with Justice. Again bought back memories of Jazz dancing with him and DJ Windmill in Luton in the early 90's. Mixture of house, hip hop, jazz funk with a great 3 second jazz piano sample from Wynton Marsalis.

12) Marvin Gaye – T Plays It Cool
Just a great funky loop from Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man" this is a bootleg 12" version.

13) Booker T And The MG’s - Melting Pot
I think i probably first heard this whilst collecting glasses maybe the late 80's reissue but what a tune and lp from the same name.

14) Herbie Hancock – Fat Mama
Had to get a bit of Herbie in... so many...

15) Blue Mitchell – The Message
Picked this up last year in Oxfam which was a bit of a surprise. No sleeve but its all about the music. This version of Cymandes "The Message" is the one!!!

16) Johnny Hammond – Star Bone
Could pick any tune from this lp (Gambler's Life) and Justice beat me to back to the projects. Love Johnny Hammond and Mizells with the longest fade in history i think.

17) Esther Philips – Home Is Where The Hatred Is
Esther Philips From A Whisper To A Scream LP bought to my attention many moons ago by an old friend... top track from it.

18) Dorothy Ashby – Soul Vibrations
Would love to own more Dorothy Ashby.

19) The Crusaders – A Ballad for Joe (Louis)
All time favourite go to jazz album The Crusaders "Southern Comfort". Perfect on a sunny Sunday!!

20) Dave Brubeck – Calcutta Blues
Who doesn't like a bit of Brubeck? Perfect ending.

Big Love

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Andy Hickford
Title: DD0506
Style: Soul, Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop, Beats
Time: 78 minutes
Date: 2018-05-06

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Andy Hickford to the Dusk Dubs family, who provides a timely and wonderful celebration of all things "Beastie Boys" marking the anniversary of MCA aka Adam Yauch's untimely passing.

"Pretty much everyone over a certain age will know the Beastie Boys. From the perspective of someone who grew up in a midlands market town in the 80's their introduction was as brattish bad boys who horrified my teachers with their punk attitude and penchant for automobile badges. For many that is the image that stuck for a long time. Their punk rock roots, which they revisited musically, however disguised the fact that they would be a hugely influential, creative, thoughtful and skilled band for years to come.

Over the years the Beastie evolved from those 3 bugged out dudes (thanks Grandmaster Flash) into hip hop legends, not to mention a pretty tight funk and or rock band too. They also became a hugely visual as well as musical concern. Their peak period came before Social Media had really invaded our every waking moment and as such what you knew about them (as well as most other bands) was limited to what they showed you. The Beasties excelled at creating their world through their music videos, album covers, record labels, clothing, action figures etc... MCA was central to a lot of this.

As a band they were curators as well as creators, whether combining samples, photos, film, or indeed fellow artists; they would produce work that was often greater than the sum of its parts. Before Twitter, Snap Chat etc... they would convey a message, a thought, a belief, fun, funk, great ideas, artistic sentiment in a much simpler form - a 12" square of cardboard with a bit of black plastic inside. The image on that bit of cardboard alone would often be enough to get you to pay attention. Whether working with the graffiti artists Haze or Cey Adams, the photographers Ricky Powell or Bruce Dickenson or the artists Billions McMillions aka Bill McMullen or Alex Grey they would use visuals to draw you in. However they really took off when you slipped that black wax disc out of its sleeve, put in on the turntable and dropped the needle..." [ANDY]

1) Sabotage Intro with Chuck D & Grandmaster Flash - I wanted to find a way to introduce the BB's without being too intense, before pulling this selection together I watched a few you tube videos, read some interviews etc... just trying to immerse myself in their work/world for a bit. One of the films I found was a short doc on the B-Boys and in part of it they had both Chuck D and Flash talking about their importance to hip hop, but also rock. When they first hit the scene I was at school and I can recall the mass horror at these brats encouraging innocent youth to steal VW badges and play their music loud. Therefore it seemed to make sense to start out with a bit of a boisterous start... some cheeky B-Boys behaviour and a blast of Sabotage...

2) Beastie Boys - 3 MC's and 1 DJ (Live Video Version) The B-Boys have always been about far more than just the 3 of them - though clearly MCA, Ad-Rock and Mike D are the pivots - they always acted as something of a collective. As such Mixmaster Mike needed a mention too - so what better way to start the selection proper than with a track referencing the importance of the DJ to the MC(s). Of course beyind Mixmaster Mike there were also important contributions from many others along the way - Hurra, Money Mark, Mario C etc... not to mention the artists and filmmakers they also worked with.

3) Blues Project - Flute Thing - The main theme for this selection is the original music that the Beasties took and made their own. So the first sample track is this - which needs no explanation, it is of course used in Flute Loop on the Ill Communication album.

4) Rose Royce - 6 O'clock DJ - More samples, with a few coming from the Rose Royce 'Car Wash' soundtrack. I'll admit to not checking this OST for a while being put of by the pop-disco of the main theme, however I was so wrong. This double LP contains killer funk - not least this track as sampled on Shake Your Rump from Pauls Boutique.

5) Tower Of Power - Ebony Jam - Big funk tune this, of course sampled by De La Soul as well as the Beasties who used it (amongst many other tracks) on B-Boy Bouillabaisse), again on Pauls Boutique.

6) Rose Royce - Born To Love Ya - Another Car Wash tune and another killer tune - again used on Shake Your Rump.

7) Ask For Janice Interlude - Had to include this interlude - I wonder how many people did call?

8) Alphonse Mouzon - Funky Snakefoot - Huge jazz funk tune on Blue Note - but for better or worse you just cant hear this without wanting to switch to the Beasties - this is really how to use a sample - again used on Shake Your Rump. Which you just have to do to this really.

9) Big Daddy Kane & Biz Markie - Just Rhymin' With The Biz - There isn't actually a lot of hip hop in this selection, however what has been included is classic - you don't get much better than the Kane & the Biz - a big Cold Chillin' jam from back in the day. This stands as likely inspiration for the Beasties hip hop roots, but is also included as it was used in 'So Watcha Want' from Check Your Head.

10) Michael Viner Incredible Bongo Band - Last Bongo In Belgium - There needs to be a proper B-Boy Tune on a Beastie Boys tribute, so here is the break-tastic Last Bongo In Belgium, as used on Looking Down the Barrel - another Pauls Boutique track.

11) ESG - UFO - More classic block party action - the Beasties knew their old school classics when putting together their tracks and borrowed from the best. UFO was used on Putting Shame in Your Game as featured on the Hello Nasty album.

12) Beastie Boys - Intergalactic - Speaking of Hello Nasty - one of their best known tracks, the massive Intergalactic which of course sampled 'The New Style' from Licensed to Ill - as I say they sample from the best. And to complete the circle...

13) Stovall Sisters - Hang On In There - ...this massive soul-funk tune from the wonderful Staple Sisters that the Beastie sampled on 'Intergalactic'.

14) Rev Eugene McDaniel's - Headless Heroes of The Apocalypse - I'd recommend this album to anyone, a superb collection of jazz/soul/funk with edge from the Rev (who of course wrote the timeless 'Feel Like Making Love'. This is included here as the Beasties used it on Get It Together - one of the singles from Ill Communication.

15) Beastie Boys Interview Interlude - As mentioned earlier I spent a little time watching a few interviews before putting this together and this exchange stuck out - talking about License To Ill, this captures the Beasties in playful form - but you can't escape the fact that they knew their stuff too.

16) Beastie Boys - Jimmy James (Original Mix) - Not one of their biggest tunes, but one of my favourites. I love this version from a bootleg 12" (my copy is anyway) just heavy funk, showing these boys can jam as well as rap.

17. Ronnie Laws - Tell Me Something Good - Back to the samples with this lovely jazz-funk tune, and yet another Shake Your Rump ingredient.

18) Jeremy Stieg - Howlin' For Judy - Chuck D said - You gotta know Blue Note to dig Def Jam and the Beasties certainly did know their jazz. Taking inspiration from the likes of Ronnie Laws, Mouzon, Jimmy Smith etc... they obviously knew their Verve, CTI, Capital etc... too. This is unmistakeable as the sample used in Sure Shot - another tune that will never fail when dropped - classic Beasties from Ill Communication.

19) Village Callers - Hector - a latin/jazz/funk tune that the Beasties used on Blue Nun from Check Your Head.

20) Beastie Boys - Ch-Check It Out (Acapella chorus)

21) Peggy Lee - (Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay) - Ch-Ch-Check It Out is another of the Beasties better known tunes - this one from the Five Boroughs album and takes heavily from the Peggy Lee break.

22) Jimmy Smith - Root Down - This is just a great tune, Jimmy Smith is the king of the Hammond and has a wealth of superb material, that has been widely drawn from by the Hip Hop community. This slice of jazz funk demonstrates yet again the Beasties knack for how to ride a riff. Used on their own 'Root Down' this is one where I just can't decide whether I prefer the original or the B-Boy version...

23) Rose Royce - Daddy Rich - One last tune from Car Wash, Daddy Rich was used on 33% God on Pauls Boutique. If you aren't convinced yet - this should swing it - head out to your local charity shops/car boots and seek the Car Wash OST.

24) Beastie Boys - B-Boys in The Cut - This was on a bonus 7" on the Beasties last album Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, so it seemd good to start to wrap up the selection with one of their last tunes.

25) Eric Sermon Tribute to MCA Interlude - As we all know MCA passed away 6 years ago, his band mates deciding that the Beasties could not continue without him, a respectful decision that I feel preserves the legacy of the band. Just before wrapping things up, words from Eric Sermon on the enduring influence of the Beasties and a nod to their status as one of the all time hip hop greats.

26) Beastie Boys - Fight For Your Right - However things can end without a final rousing anthem. The Beasties Boys were too full of live, ideas, passion and great music to end a tribute to them on a sombre note. So what else could the selection finish with - a call to arms for all music lovers.

RIP Adam Yauch / MCA / Nathanial Hornblower. Musician, Rapper, Songwriter, Artist, Pacifist, Film-maker, Feminist, Campaigner, Legend. August 5th 1964-May 4th 2012

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite accomplished collector, DJ and musicologist Mark 'Good Vibes' Taylor to the Dusk Dubs family. Mark is the man behind Blue Brazil 3 on Blue Note and the Americana compilations on BBE. He currently runs a session three tijmes a year in London called Reference Point at Three Kings, Clerkenwell, and you can also find him at Spiritland & Merchants Tavern, London every quarter.

"Having begun like most school kids following pop music at the start of the 70’s a few years later I discovered Northern Soul at the age of thirteen after seeing a few of the older boys dancing to it at my local youth club. Followed the Northern scene until the age of 17 when I moved over to the disco/jazz-funk scene, and then over the decades since expanded into collecting pretty much anything that floats my boat musically!

The songs I’ve selected are a mixture of tunes that are part of my early teenage years of musical discovery, and then on through the decades the various other musical styles I came across and became engrossed in. A few tracks in the selection are fresh finds I picked up from a recent California trip. This is also some of the sort of music you’ll hear played at a monthly event I run in London called ‘Reference Point’. Hope you enjoy the varied selection… " [Mark]

**Tracklisting**

1) HIROSHI SATO - AWAKENING
Short track with piano, synth, and ocean waves to start things of with from one of my favourite Japanese artist (J-Pop supremo Sato san).

2) MFSB - MY MOOD
This was the one track as a 15 year old teenager that really started the whole thing off for me of often digging the more mellow grooves on an LP, instead of the up tempo track I might have originally purchased the album for in the first place.

3) BARBARA STREISAND - LAZY AFTERNOON
Always curios to check this album out, seen as it was produced by Rupert Holmes the Anglo- American artist of AOR fame early on in his career. I picked up a copy a couple of months back for a $1.00 on a California road trip, and discovered this lush orchestral beauty with Babs as always on fine form vocally.

4) RUPERT HOLMES - GUITAR
One of my favourite AOR artists, Holmes lived in England as a boy (British mother & American father) before moving to the States. He has a typical British sense of humour to his lyrics that often tell a full story, and are witty and charming at the same time! Also a successful author and playwright in his own right, talented chap our Rupert…

5) VANGELIS - I HEAR YOU NOW
Remember back in 79’ I would be in the upstairs room of a local pub playing pool with my friends, and in the corner was a jukebox. By this time in my life on weekends I was always travelling out of town to attend Disco/Jazz-Funk events around the country. I did still keep an eye on the pop charts though and when this song came out I would always play it on the jukebox while playing a game of pool, alongside the Rupert Holmes : Escape (Pina Colada Song). Guilty pleasures back then for a dedicated soul, jazz-funk boy indeed!

6) MICKY’S MOUTH - LET’S GET TOGETHER
Mickio Masuda fusion album from 76’ that contains a couple of killer mellow tripped out tunes. I picked this up as a trade with a Japanese record shop owner back around 96’who was in town to buy stock for his shop in Osaka.

7) IKE WHITE - ANTOINETTE
Purchased the Ike White album in the mid 90’s, as I’m sure most collector’s back then did for the 9:23 long soulful blues title track “Changin’ Times”, but then got two for the price of one with the exquisite atmospheric “Antoinette” track.

8) ALBERTO RADIUS - CALIFORNIA BLLL…
Italy has giving us some great music over the decades, and this beauty is no exception. Nice chugging bass and drums with Alberto’s unique vocal delivery. Always makes me think of summer and the Balearic vibe this one.

9) BRIAN BENNETT - IMAGE
I discovered around 94’ library music and fell madly in love with the genre. I’d already collected for some year’s soundtrack music, but was blown away by the whole mystery of these records that were never commercially released to the public, and were difficult to find pre internet days. The strings on this track are so lush and beautiful I am in admiration of these musicians who make this sort of music. For me they are the ultimate artists!

10) VINCENT GEMIGNANI - OPHIS LE SERPENTAIRE
Another album purchased for an up tempo groovy track I’d heard when a Japanese record shop buyer over in Europe in 96’ to buy stock played me this round my house. He’d picked it up from a dealer in Paris a few days before, and I quickly got on the phone to my contacts in Paris to secure a copy for myself. Then, as is often the case the mellow easy glide tune is the one I ended up playing much more. Quite probably my favourite French library music track from all the ones I have.

11) CONTRACTION - LE CHAT BRUINNE
I have a soft spot for any good French speaking music, and this next one hails from Canada.

Quebec group Contraction who on this 72’ release had a prog jazz vibe going on that contains a few great tracks, including this mellow beauty.

12) JAPAN - DESPAIR
In the early 80’s I took a left turn away from the disco / jazz-funk scene and for a couple of years was into the new romantic scene. My favourite band by far was Japan, who I was lucky enough to see a couple of times in concert back then. “Despair” comes from their ‘Quite Life’ album.

13) GRIMALDI ZEIHER - ENTRE CHIEN ET LOUP
French duo recorded this AOR beauty in L.A. with some of the cream of the city’s session musicians, guys like Jeff Porcaro, Victor Feldman, Abraham Laboriel, Wilton Felder, Larry Carlton. Mellow summer Californian AOR goodness with seductive French vocals.

14) NICK DE CARO - UNDER THE JAMAICAN MOON
More of the Californian west coast vibe, debut album from Nick released in 74’, who also produced the album alongside one of my favourite producers ever Tommy LiPuma.

15) ROBERT BYRNE - BLAME IT ON THE NIGHT
Possibly my favourite AOR album from the year 79’, full of well written songs, great musicianship and love Robert’s vocal voice.

16) GILBERTO GIL - FLORA.
I’m a big fan of Brazilian music and picking a couple of tracks for this mix was difficult, due to the richness and abundance of stuff to choose from. In the end I went for what I would say was my first real traditional Brazilian artist album purchase. I purchased this originally back in 83’ for the infectious uplifting track “Palco”, and up to this point I only had jazz fusion stuff from Brazil in my collection (Flora Purim, Airto Moreira, Azymuth). From this point on I started searching out more music from Brazil to the point I started going to Rio to dig for records from 94’ onwards…

17) AZIMUTH - TEMA DE MARIA HELENA
My first ever purchase of a Brazilian band was the Milestone Records release of ‘Light As A Feather’ back in 79’. The track “Jazz Carnival” was such a monster hit on the disco / Jazz Funk scene back then. To this date they are still my favourite jazz band from Brazil, and I feel fortunate that I ended up becoming friends with the bass player Alex Malheiros and visiting his home outside Rio at the start of the 2000’s. I never would have expected that back in 79’s when I was jumping around on the dance floor to “Jazz Carnival”. This track selected is taken from the soundtrack album ‘O Fabuloso Fittipaldi’ released in 73’ from where they got their band name after one of the titled tracks composed by Marcos Valle.

18) ELIS REGINA & TOM JOBIM - AGUAS DE MARCO
Two of the biggest names in Brazilian music ever…

Elis the queen, and Tom the bossa nova king. Like most people I knew Tom Jobims music from my youth, but only later in life when I got into orchestrated stuff and more into Brazilian did I delve deeper. I love his work, even his naïve singing voice when he does sing on tracks. Elis Regina is regarded as the greatest female singer in Brazil, sadly she died too young from an overdose. Here together they do a Jobim evergreen classic “Waters of March”.

19) BURT BACHARACH - SOMETHING BIG
Burt is the man, and a musical giant in my book!

So many classic songs he composed together with Hal Davies on lyrics. Released on the A&M label who were right in the zone at the start of the 70’s for me. Keeping the bossa nova rhythm going, this track is taken from his ‘Living Together’ album.

20) PISANO & RUFF - THE DRIFTER
Another A&M release from the start of the 70’s written by a writer who epitomises the California sunshine pop sound, Roger Nichols. This is very much the trademark sound of A&M back in 1970.

21) LITTO NEBBIA - BITUCA.
As well as collecting Brazilian stuff, I also searched out other interesting South American music. I began buying around 95’ from a dealer in Buenos Aires mostly jazz stuff and sometimes the odd prog record as well. This is taken from the 76’ album release ‘Bazar De Los Milagros’.

22) VYTAS BRENNER - AVILA
Well known to prog collectors, Vytas Brenner hail from Venezuela. I first came across the band from the guy I was buying records from in Buenos Aires in the mid 90’s. Killer cosmic prog track…

23) LYLE MAYS - CLOSE TO HOME
Brilliant keyboard (Brazilian) player of the Pat Metheny Group.

This comes from his own album released in 86’, beautiful dreamy music.

24) TREVOR BASTOW (A.HOBSON) - MILLENIUM
U.K. Library, comes from the golden period of 1965 to 1985.

This one is released in 83’ on Music De Wolfe label.

25) MINAKO YOSHIDA - TORNADO
J-Pop coolness, with a head nodding slow groove.

26) STEPHEN BISHOP - A FOOL AT HEART
Californian born Bishop oozes that West Coast relaxed vibe on this easy glide AOR number from his second album release. He drafted in a few big names to help out on tracks like Michael McDonald, and on this particular track Chaka Khan on backing vocals giving it an extra bit of class.

27) MARC BENNO - FRANNY
A recent purchase on a California road trip made in October 2017, took a punt on this album as it had the likes of Bobby Womack, Nick De Caro, Rita Coolidge, Clarence White, Chuck Domanico playing on it in a shop, at $4.99 and it was a no brainer and I my hunch was right. Love it…

28) B.J. WARD - HERE WE ARE
American singer B.J. Ward recorded this album in Holland back at the start of the 1970’s. This rare Dutch only release has some wonderful arrangements and orchestration on it. A nice mellow track to end the selection.]]>

One half of DJ and promoting duo 'Whats Wrong With Groovin', Beatwell and musical brother Ed Meme have featured alongside some of the most respected names in the business of the beats, including Marva Whitney, Fred Wesley, Breakestra, DJ Maseo (De La Soul), Maxi Jazz, Norman Jay, Nightmares On Wax, The Nextmen, Hexstatic, Mad Professor, Krafty Kuts, A Skillz, Faze Action, DJ Format, The Apples, Lack of Afro, Craig Charles, Osaka Monaurail, DJ Yoda and many more.

'I was honoured to of been invited back to the Dusk Dubs family to compile another mixtape quite some time ago now. Let's just say It took me a while, mainly due to my own indecisiveness when it came to producing a finalised tracklisting. There has been so much amazing music that I have kept close to my heart over the years which always gives me that very special feeling when i listen back to it again and again. That DuskDubs feeling.

Following on from where my first Mixtape left of, this selection of tracks are ones which i have carried with me over the years from a melting pot of genres. Tracks that hold a combination of special memories with special people from my musical path gone by and from experiences on my World travels.

I hope you enjoy listening to this as much I did compiling it. Even if it did take me two years too long..." [Beatwell)​

**Tracklisting**

1) Terry Callier - Lazurus Man (1998)
Wow. What an opener. What an artist. I have loved Terry Callier for a long time. So underrated. Timeless music. Speaking of Timeless. Goldie brought me here.

2) Brian Bennett - Image (1974)
Majestic. A stand out track from the many majestic Library music tracks that were made and for the most part forgotten about. Until Library music's renaissance in recent years thanks to all the collectors and beat diggers.

3) Henry Mancini & His Orchestra - Slow Hot Wind (1975)
Another wow track. Sexy sultry and seductive movie music. Music to fall in love to. Always loved Lujon and this funked up Slow Hot Wind version is killer. From Mancini's 1975 album Symphonic Soul.

4) Massive Attack - Weather Storm (1994)
Now this is serious mood music. Another sexy tune from one of my favourites from one of Britain's coolest cutting edge bands. Essential.

5) Lonnie Liston Smith - Island In The Sun (1985)
I could of picked a number of LOL tracks from a number of his albums. The man is quite simply a legend. No need to explain further. The title say's it all.

6) Kinobe - Hammock Island (2000)
A track from my Big Chill years when downtempo music ruled. A downtempo beauty from a beauty of an album. Keepin' things on a Desert lsland tip. Whatever happened to Kinobe?

7) Blue States - Trainer Shuffle (2000)
Another slice of downtempo gold from the Big Chill era. I could of easily picked a few songs from this majestic album. Definitely one of my favourite downtempo albums of all time.

8) The Karminsky Experience Inc - Exploration (2003)
A wonderful track from another wonderful album from a real golden age of lush cinematic music. The Karminsky boys can do no wrong for me and are still making amazing music today.

9) Nuspirit Helsinki - Orson (2002)
Whatever happened to Nuspirit Helsinki?? They left the Nu Jazz world as quick as they entered it. Leaving behind a slack handful of killer singles and one world class album. Orson is a slick James Bond-esque piece of jazzy deepness.

10) Men From The Nile - Watch Them Come (Jazzanova Remix) (1999)
WHAT. A. REMIX. Those Berlin boys Jazzanova hit UK Club Culture in the mid-late nineties via Gilles Peterson's Worldwide show and a mighty fine collection of singles and sublime remixes. This being one of them. Outstanding, utterly unique and music that led me away from my obsession with mid-nineties DnB and onto a more jazzier groovier path.

11) Faze Action - Samba (1999)
All kinds of ace. A track that never fails to make me smile. Pure summertime on wax. I loved the Faze Action Brothers productions especially their Moving Cities album from '99. Reminds me of my hazy backpacking days. I saw them perform this album Live a few times too. The highlight being on the Jazz World Stage at Glasto in 2000. Sunny Sunday afternoon vibes fuelled by Red Stripe and Curried Goat ha.

12) Nuyorican Soul - I am the Black Gold of the Sun (4 Hero Mix) (1997)
Another WOW tune and stone cold classic that transcends genres. From gospel summer soul into uplifting DnB in just a few short minutes. I've met many people say they don't like DnB yet love this. It really is that special and rarely leaves my bag, especially over the summer festival season. 4 Hero showing how to take an already amazing tune and lift it even higher.

13) Jodeci - Feenin' (LTJ Bukem Remix) (1995)
Anyone who knows me well enough knows how much i have a little penchant for a bit of Bukem. Especially early to mid nineties and this remix is a revelation and when Bukem could do no wrong. Deep soulful and rollin' just the way we like it.

14) John Martyn - Small Hours (1977)
Taking things down a notch for my last choice but crankin' up the feels to the max. I've been a big fan of the big man for many years now and this exquisite piece of music tops the lot. A controversial musical figure maybe. But a pioneer and total original. Who else could get away with getting high at 3am and recording a track as utterly awesome as this in one take. Not only that but outside, next to a lake near the main London to Bristol train route. Small hours ambience with Geese to boot! ]]>

Another slice of downtempo gold from the Big Chill era. I could of easily picked a few songs from this majestic album. Definitely one of my favourite downtempo albums of all time.

8) The Karminsky Experience Inc - Exploration (2003)
A wonderful track from another wonderful album from a real golden age of lush cinematic music. The Karminsky boys can do no wrong for me and are still making amazing music today.

9) Nuspirit Helsinki - Orson (2002)
Whatever happened to Nuspirit Helsinki?? They left the Nu Jazz world as quick as they entered it. Leaving behind a slack handful of killer singles and one world class album. Orson is a slick James Bond-esque piece of jazzy deepness.

10) Men From The Nile - Watch Them Come (Jazzanova Remix) (1999)
WHAT. A. REMIX. Those Berlin boys Jazzanova hit UK Club Culture in the mid-late nineties via Gilles Peterson's Worldwide show and a mighty fine collection of singles and sublime remixes. This being one of them. Outstanding, utterly unique and music that led me away from my obsession with mid-nineties DnB and onto a more jazzier groovier path.

11) Faze Action - Samba (1999)
All kinds of ace. A track that never fails to make me smile. Pure summertime on wax. I loved the Faze Action Brothers productions especially their Moving Cities album from '99. Reminds me of my hazy backpacking days. I saw them perform this album Live a few times too. The highlight being on the Jazz World Stage at Glasto in 2000. Sunny Sunday afternoon vibes fuelled by Red Stripe and Curried Goat ha.

12) Nuyorican Soul - I am the Black Gold of the Sun (4 Hero Mix) (1997)
Another WOW tune and stone cold classic that transcends genres. From gospel summer soul into uplifting DnB in just a few short minutes. I've met many people say they don't like DnB yet love this. It really is that special and rarely leaves my bag, especially over the summer festival season. 4 Hero showing how to take an already amazing tune and lift it even higher.

13) Jodeci - Feenin' (LTJ Bukem Remix) (1995)
Anyone who knows me well enough knows how much i have a little penchant for a bit of Bukem. Especially early to mid nineties and this remix is a revelation and when Bukem could do no wrong. Deep soulful and rollin' just the way we like it.

14) John Martyn - Small Hours (1977)
Taking things down a notch for my last choice but crankin' up the feels to the max. I've been a big fan of the big man for many years now and this exquisite piece of music tops the lot. A controversial musical figure maybe. But a pioneer and total original. Who else could get away with getting high at 3am and recording a track as utterly awesome as this in one take. Not only that but outside, next to a lake near the main London to Bristol train route. Small hours ambience with Geese to boot! ]]> 1870564 no no Sun, 22 Apr 2018 09:31:00 +0200 2018-04-22T09:31:00+02:00 1:26:44 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dub-explorations-040/

Time: 122 minutes

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back George Mihaly to the Dusk Dubs family, with a journey through genres he loved from his childhood, from early vintage electronica and krautrock to the balearic.

Music obsessed since 1976. Started to buy and collect albums when he was 12. He was 14 when he played the first time in a public place. Played music from records, tapes, cassettes. His eclectic mixes contain balearic, disco, house, ambient, jazz and rock.

George is the Budapest based curator of the Quality Music Lovers Society group on Facebook. He has been a contributor to the ever reliable Balearic Social radio show on Purple Radio, played at the Outlaws Yacht Club in Leeds, was a guest DJ of Balearic Assassins Of Love team in Ibiza and been a contributor to the Network show on Box Frequency, Balearic Ultras, Eclectics and now hosts his own monthly show ’The Sound Of The Quality Music Lovers’ Society ’ on Boxfrequency.fm radio where he spins some choice music, accompanied by some fabulous guest DJ's.

Together with Andy Pye from Balearic Social, he has launched such successful mix series, like the Chilled Seasons and Back To Mine. He also provided guest mixes for other radio shows all around the Globe. Most recently, he played on the Psychedelic Discotech party in Carlton club Manchester.

**Tracklisting**

1)Teddy Lasry - La Femme Qui Venait D'Alleurs (1977)
Teddy Lasry also known as a composer of contemporary classical music and scores for modern theatre and cine-art. This is a masterpiece in the world of cosmic synthedelica.

2) Socrates With Vangelis O. Papathanassiou - Mountains (1976)
In 1975 Vangelis worked with the Greek rock band Socrates on their third album "Phos". Their cooperation with Vangelis lasts only for this one album, he is credited for producing the album, playing keyboards and percussion and also for composing one of the songs. Epic music!

3) Can - Don't Say No (1977)
One of my all time favourite band! This is an unusual track from the band. I love the groove!

4) Embryo - Radio Marrakesch & Orient-Express (1973)
One of the most important German jazz-rock bands during the 1970s.This is a brilliant fusion of progressive rock and jazz with some oriental flavour.

5) .Zeus B Held - Four Phases of an Imagist's Blue (2011)
Zeus B. Held is a German music producer and musician, known for his work in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. He was involved with several artists of the krautrock, disco, and new wave era, such as Birth Control, Rockets, Gina X Performance, Dead Or Alive, John Foxx, Fashion, and Men Without Hats.Love this composition a lot, a fantastic electronic piece.

6) TCP - Twonga (1984)
Tony Carey Project’s the one and only ‘TCP‘ is a masterpiece. Since his departure from Rainbow in 1977, Carey devoted his keyboard and multi-instrumental skills to the exploration of untethered cosmic funk and experiential disco grounds. ‘Twonga‘, is a high-spirited Afro-funk ruffling of wailing synth vibratos, bouncy toms and acidulous bass fizzling out in an upbeat carnival of colours.

7) Bo Hansson - The Black Riders & Flight To The Ford (1970)
Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings is an instrumental progressive rock album by Swedish musician Bo Hansson. Love this track! It reminds me of Mike Oldfield’s early works a bit.

8) Lem - Robots In Heat (1977)
Very strange synth LP from 1977. Early minimal synth or what?! Some spacey disco influences here and there, but a great space synth LP with some amazing funky grooves. This one could be also the very first new wave tune.

9) Steps Ahead - Beirut (1986)
Michael Brecker, Peter Erskine, Mike Mainieri and Victor Bailey. What a supergroup! Love how they use the new technology in their music. Beirut is a superb composition!

10) Herbie Hancock - Bo Ba Be Da (1994)
This tune just shows Hancock’s geniality! It moves towards acid jazz. Hip Hop beats with jazz. Such an amazing fusion! Fantastic record!

11) Boozoo Bajou - Under My Sensi (2001)
When lounge music did not mean: music for elevators. Adore this tune and its atmosphere!

12) LTJ Bukem feat. Elliot - Sunrain (2000)
The leading figure in the genre of atmospheric or intelligent jungle and drum n bass.It was my favourite tune in that year.

13) Anima Sound System - Csillagtalan (1997)
My favourite Hungarian band of this period. One of the pioneers of the underground scene in Hungary. I love how they mix different genres in their works. This tune is a traditional Hungarian folk song originally.

14) Carl Craig - Televised Green Smoke (1997)
The album and this particular track marked the begining of the Detroit Techno revival. Ace work from the master!

15) Sasha & Darren Emerson - Scorchio (2000)
Emerson's tech-y style shines in with the beat and bass while sasha's progressive atmospheric style adds a wonderfull twist!

16) Shpongle - Shpongle Falls (1998)
One of the greatest electronic album ever! Simon Posford and Raja Ram are Shpongle, a psychedelic ambient project and this timeless masterpiece is from their first album.

17) Lazonby - Sacred Cycles (1994)
A trance anthem!And if you listen to it carefully you can recognize an old Genesis song.

18) Model 500 - The Flow (1995)
Juan Atkins’ mega classic tune!

19) Afterlife - Blue Bar (1999)
The tune that led me to balearic music! The rest is history ;)]]>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Jo Wallace
Title: DD0502
Style: , Jazz, House, Soul, Dub
Time: 116 minutes
Date: 2018-04-08

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome DJ, record label owner, producer and vinyl fanatic Jo Wallace to the Dusk Dubs family.

Jo has been responsible for compiling the Soul Satisfaction series as well as Motown Floorshakers, Motown Northern and Motown Love Songs for Motown Records. She is part of the North Street Remix collective, working alongside Ashley Beedle and Darren Morris on remixes for her labels Ramrock, Ramrock Blue, Ramrock Red and F*CLR and other labels – Pete Tong featured one on his ‘Essential’ show in October. Jo created the soundtracks for the Versace and Vivienne Westwood exhibitions at the V&A Museum, closed Glastonbury three times and broadcast on the BBC, commercial radio and most recently on Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM with a 2 hour Ramrock Special with Ashley Beedle.

"In this mix, I am laying my musical DNA out like an exhibit in a court case for examination – it’s been a very personal experience and I had real internal tussles with my selections. I felt guilty leaving tracks out and found myself apologising to Ramsey Lewis and Cornelius Bumpus but I had to be ruthless – there was a lot of music to fit in and only the biggest influencers found their way into the mix. Tracks that have supported me through sickness and health; tracks that reduced me to tears; tracks that made me want to spontaneously combust with joy…..that’s what music is all about – that’s why we do what we do. We are just musical conduits.’ [Jo]

**Tracklisting**

1) EWF – That’s The Way of the World
2) Main Ingredient – Happiness is just around the bend
3) Johnny Guitar Watson – Lone Ranger
4) Dr Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band – I’ll play the fool for you

To enable me to tell the story, I’m bundling the tunes up into ‘musical parcels’ – in the time frame that they came onto my radar. The first four tracks are my life savers – whenever things get tough, I wheel them out. As a soulfully clued up 15 year old, EWF’s ‘That’s the way of the World’ LP came marching into my collection in 1975 with its soaring strings, tight horns, a bass line to kill for and an impossibly beautiful combination of intricate vocals nimbly underpinned with chords that make you cry and then the sucker punch - Charles Stepney’s production. I was on the ropes and I’ve been out for the count ever since. Sitting next to EWF on the shelf is the Main Ingredient’s gatefold sleeved ‘Euphrates River’ – with the full length ‘Happiness is just around the Bend’. I’d bought the 7” version in ’74 and written on the RCA stock bag, 21 Sept 1974, blissfully unaware that Brian Auger had sung the magnificently jazzy original – but my money’s on Cuba Godding. The strings and his vocals with the incessant drums and bass and backing vocals….tripped out soul. And then Robbie Vincent dropped ‘Lone Ranger’ on his Radio London show in ’75 – that bad boy, Johnny Guitar Watson was right on with the right on – he was off the scale with his gold tooth and gansta swag….how could a girl not fall for his charms? It was Robbie Vincent that blew me away the year after in 1976 with Dr Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band’s ‘I’ll play the fool’ with the beautiful Corey Daye on lead vocals, the Darnell Brothers, Sugar Coated Andy Hernandez – that track drops and I know every crevice, every nuance, every glissade – it’s that long, impossibly hot summer, I’ve just left school, I’m working in a record shop, I’m 16 years old and my life is before me…

5) The Flames – Broadway Jungle
6) Roland Alphonso & Soul Brothers – Independence Anniversary Ska
7) Derrick Harriott – The Jerk
8) Chuck & Dobby – I love my teacher

The next bundle of tunes ties together the Jamaican influences – the impact that reggae has had on me. In 1971, I was at school and I used to buy vinyl off other pupils for 50p – telling them to go and raid their older brothers and sisters’ record collections. One such ​haul brought forth the milestone ‘Club Ska ‘67’ LP with its bright pink cover and bullet pointed titles on W.I.R.L. I ran home after school and put the needle on the record – what happened next was like being handed the tablets by Moses – the blinkers were taken off and my ears opened – The Flames aka Toots & the Maytals blasted out ‘Broadway Jungle’ and my life was never the same again. The next track, from the Ska Au Go Go compilation purchased in ‘73, is by the mighty Roland Alphonso – founder member of the Skatalites – here representing with the Soul Brothers and his version of the Beatle’s ‘I Should Have Known Better’ titled ‘Independence Anniversary Ska’ – it’s the only way I can listen to the Beatles! During the 70’s, I’d venture up to Camden Market to the record stalls round by Dingwalls and come away with untold treasures – armfuls of Bluebeat and Skabeat, pristine White Island 7” – and Derrick Harriott’s ‘The Jerk’ was the result of one of those crate digging sessions – his cover of The Larks 1964 hit of the same name is perfect in every way with the rolling piano riffs, punctuating trombone, tight 1:3 rhythm and and Derrick’s delicate vocals enticing you to move your hips – you can see them all sitting in the studio working in synch. And then up comes Chuck and Dobby with their B side to Aubry Adams & the Dudroppers A side ‘Do Du Wop’ on Bluebeat. I got given this 1961 beauty by an ex of my sister back in the early 70’s, complete with mint Blue Beat stock bag. You can hear the influence of Fats Domino and the Sound of New Orleans with the achingly simple delivery of the lyrics and piano – I try to study and get straight A’s….it still makes me smile every time I hear it – if only life could be this simple….

9) Fats Domino – It keeps raining

When the news of Fats passing came through, I was sitting in North Street Studio One with Darren Morris and Ashley Beedle. It was an end of an era and I was in pieces. Fats will always be the man – his rhythms were emulated and imitated by Jamaican musicians during the Blue Beat period and became the foundation of reggae – without Fats and those big New Orleans radio transmitters, we’d have no reggae. The world has lost a true legend – I will be in mourning for eternity.

10) Big Joe Turner – Shake, Rattle & Roll
11) Elvis – Stuck on you
12) Jimmy Lloyd – Where the Rio de Rosa Flows
13) Hank Williams Snr – Move it on over
14) Five Keys – She’s the most

After inheriting a tri centre Bill Haley 7” ‘Rock Around the Clock’ EP from my sister in 1963, I became slightly obsessed with ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll’ – and then I discovered Joe Turner’s bellowing original about 10 years later. Bill who? If you don’t move to this, you must be challenged in all departments. Slightly earlier from deep in my musical memory is the 1960 release ‘Stuck on you’ from Elvis – this is probably the earliest piece of music I remember around about ‘62/63 along with the Ray Conniff Singers ‘I’ll see you in my dreams’, the Spotniks ‘Hava Nagila’ and The Vampires ‘Swinging Ghosts’ – my sister had eclectic taste. Jimmy Lloyd came later – I discovered his Sun releases in the 80’s and boy, am I glad I did. This is my kinda Country shooting from the hip…combine this with Hank William Snr’s ‘Move it on over’ – you got to love a bit of fiddle – and my theme tune from the Five Keys ‘She’s the most’ – then you’ve got yourself a party in the barn.

15 Family – Burlesque

My life almost took a left turn in 1973 when I heard ‘Burlesque’ but it was only a hiccup in my timeline – but what a blip. Roger Chapman sounding like the Devil’s right hand man…I need me some snake-y spat shoes.

16) Eric B & Rakim – Follow The Leader
17) Main Source – Looking at the front door

Not since ‘That’s the way of the World’ had the musical Martians landed as they did when ‘Follow The Leader’ exploded on the turntables. I was working in Red Records in Brixton and you cannot believe the impact it had – just mind bending. Featuring samples from Baby Huey’s ‘Listen to me’ and the unsettling riff from Bob James ‘Nautilus’, ‘Follow the leader’ is the greatest hip hop track of all time in my humble opinion. Coupling it with the ’91 release from Main Source, ‘Looking at the front door’ was one of the stand out tracks for me on Patrick Forge and Julian Palmer’s seminal album ‘Rebirth of Cool 2’ – what a compilation - a whole generation had their heads turned.

18) Jimmy Ruffin & Heaven 17 – The Foolish Things To Do
19) Joseph Malik – I Don’t Want
20) Greg Blackman x Duncan Mackay – Never Trust Another Man (Ashley Beedle’s ‘North Street’ Jazz Vocal)

Sometimes, you need a few minor chords sprinkled into your daily grind – just to add to the beautiful melancholy. The next three tracks hit that spot perfectly – all outstanding vocalists, all singing laments and all uplifting my soul. The criminally underrated collaboration between Jimmy and Heaven 17 is as cheap as chips but a track to make you nod with approval; Mr Joseph Maliks’ ‘I don’t want’ from his hugely acclaimed 2002 ‘Diverse’ LP on Compost and then Greg Blackman teams up with trumpet maestro, Duncan Mackay and Darren Morris on piano to make something so perfect, it makes my bones ache – proud to have been in the studio when this happened.

21) David Bowie – Lady Grinning Soul
22) Ronnie Foster – Love Satellite
23) Chuck Berry – Drifting Heart
24) Flamingos – I only have eyes for you

One thing connects all these tracks – fabulous, statement intros – you know what’s coming. My undying thanks to Bruce Brand from The Milkshakes for introducing me to Chuck Berry’s ‘Drifting Heart’ and the one track that reduces me to an emotional wreck every time – ‘I only have eyes for you’ – how did they do it? It’s witchcraft, I tell thee….

25) Yvonne Baker – You didn’t say a word
26) Linda Jones – Just can’t live my life
27) Supremes – Stormy
28) Earl Van Dyke – All for you

Northern Soul and Motown are a massive part of my musical makeup – from Wigan to West Hampstead to Soulgate on Sea and These Old Shoes – clubs and events littered with the very best in breathtaking soul. Yvonne Baker is my #1 Northern tune ever – the Bond song that never was – too close it seems to be talking ‘bout the weather. Couple that with Linda Jones and the high drama ‘Just can’t live my life’ with searing vocals that will rip your heart out, roll it in cat litter and put it back in backwards – you want heartache and misery? I’ll give it to you – and then the until recently unreleased Supremes version of ‘Stormy’. Covered by a host of artists including Dusty and Bobbie Gentry, this is the one that makes grown people cry – Diana’s plaintiff rendition couldn’t be more appropriate. And then Earl – that’s Mr Van Dyke to you – the backbone of Motown’s studio band, the unsurpassed ‘Funk Brothers’ – this will be one of my enders when the time comes – Hammond B3 heaven and mod nirvana.

29) Vic Damone – Time after time
30) Dinah Washington – Cry me a river
31) Hal Miller – Blessing in disguise
32) Jimmy Rushing – How long, how long
33) Dells – Make Sure

It’s just me and Vic in an empty after hours Vegas club with a sparkly curtain at the back of the stage and a pin spot on Mr Damone singing to me alone. Dinah’s the next act on stage with ‘Cry Me a river’ and the ace up my sleeve, Hal Miller comes on and shows you why he’s the King of Beat Ballads with ‘A Blessing in disguise’ – a Bob Crewe production – castanets, tubular bells, French horns, strings, misery – sometimes, a break up is a blessing in disguise *sighs. Mr 5 x 5’ Jimmy Rushing – a blues shouter who was 5ft tall and 5ft wide – hollering the mournfully gorgeous ‘How long’ – I bought the Vanguard blues LP that it came from in 1973 which impressed the manager and that got me my first job in a record shop – a precocious 13 year old claim to fame but it’s true! And finally, when it’s my last goodbye, Marvin Junior and The Dells will be belting this out as I go behind the curtain – because you’ve got to make room for the next act coming on….and that, ladies and gentlemen, is my DuskDubs – I have the full selection on vinyl preserved for posterity in my record room. Thank you for listening and good night.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome DJ, record label owner, producer and vinyl fanatic Jo Wallace to the Dusk Dubs family.

Jo has been responsible for compiling the Soul Satisfaction series as well as Motown Floorshakers, Motown Northern and Motown Love Songs for Motown Records. She is part of the North Street Remix collective, working alongside Ashley Beedle and Darren Morris on remixes for her labels Ramrock, Ramrock Blue, Ramrock Red and F*CLR and other labels – Pete Tong featured one on his ‘Essential’ show in October. Jo created the soundtracks for the Versace and Vivienne Westwood exhibitions at the V&A Museum, closed Glastonbury three times and broadcast on the BBC, commercial radio and most recently on Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM with a 2 hour Ramrock Special with Ashley Beedle.

"In this mix, I am laying my musical DNA out like an exhibit in a court case for examination – it’s been a very personal experience and I had real internal tussles with my selections. I felt guilty leaving tracks out and found myself apologising to Ramsey Lewis and Cornelius Bumpus but I had to be ruthless – there was a lot of music to fit in and only the biggest influencers found their way into the mix. Tracks that have supported me through sickness and health; tracks that reduced me to tears; tracks that made me want to spontaneously combust with joy…..that’s what music is all about – that’s why we do what we do. We are just musical conduits.’ [Jo]

**Tracklisting**

1) EWF – That’s The Way of the World
2) Main Ingredient – Happiness is just around the bend
3) Johnny Guitar Watson – Lone Ranger
4) Dr Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band – I’ll play the fool for you

To enable me to tell the story, I’m bundling the tunes up into ‘musical parcels’ – in the time frame that they came onto my radar. The first four tracks are my life savers – whenever things get tough, I wheel them out. As a soulfully clued up 15 year old, EWF’s ‘That’s the way of the World’ LP came marching into my collection in 1975 with its soaring strings, tight horns, a bass line to kill for and an impossibly beautiful combination of intricate vocals nimbly underpinned with chords that make you cry and then the sucker punch - Charles Stepney’s production. I was on the ropes and I’ve been out for the count ever since. Sitting next to EWF on the shelf is the Main Ingredient’s gatefold sleeved ‘Euphrates River’ – with the full length ‘Happiness is just around the Bend’. I’d bought the 7” version in ’74 and written on the RCA stock bag, 21 Sept 1974, blissfully unaware that Brian Auger had sung the magnificently jazzy original – but my money’s on Cuba Godding. The strings and his vocals with the incessant drums and bass and backing vocals….tripped out soul. And then Robbie Vincent dropped ‘Lone Ranger’ on his Radio London show in ’75 – that bad boy, Johnny Guitar Watson was right on with the right on – he was off the scale with his gold tooth and gansta swag….how could a girl not fall for his charms? It was Robbie Vincent that blew me away the year after in 1976 with Dr Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band’s ‘I’ll play the fool’ with the beautiful Corey Daye on lead vocals, the Darnell Brothers, Sugar Coated Andy Hernandez – that track drops and I know every crevice, every nuance, every glissade – it’s that long, impossibly hot summer, I’ve just left school, I’m working in a record shop, I’m 16 years old and my life is before me…

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome, producer & DJ Don Leisure to the Dusk Dubs family.

"These are the tracks that influenced and inspired me since i was a child up until the point Darkhouse Family got going. These recordings without doubt shaped me musically and affected the way i think about and approach music...or they served as serious gateways into never ending rabbit holes of different musical discoveries.

The mixtape is in a sort of chronological order and split into 4 parts.....

The first part is my early years...i remember hearing 'Aap Jaisa Koi' at every family kid's birthday party growing up. I fell in love with sounds used on this track and as a child was utterly enthralled by a sound which i'd (much) later learn was a syn tom, i'm still a sucker for any boogie or disco track that uses them!.Don was an old Bollywood flick that my uncles and grand dad used to watch. The theme tune is so good and signifies some of the Indian music i'd hear growing up (if only all of it was as sick as this) . Throughout my life Prince has always had a constant musical presence. I remember the fandom that surrounded him from being around my older cousins who were real big fans growing up. The Batman Soundtrack this cut is from is the first record i ever owned...next up is a bunch of classic hip-hop cuts. So hard to narrow down individual tracks from this period as there were so many that meant so much. I grew up in the Welsh Valleys which isn't exactly a hot bed of hip-hop so i was exposed to a lot of heavy rock and metal as a teenager. Whilst a lot of it i left alone there is still a bunch of it i still mess with and Sabbath are timeless! This part of the mix is basically the blueprint or DNA of the 'Shaboo' record.

Next up you got the formative years. Around this time i'd moved from Cardiff to London and thrown myself into experimental electronica music and also sound system culture. A mate of mine put me onto music by Aphex Twin and Squarepusher one night and I was hooked with the freedom these guys would display in their music with each track being different from the last and there not being any rules at all. Also around this time I started making drum and bass and working for Dillinja and Lemon D's Valve label and soundsystem. The raw energy that DnB had and the way the early stuff fused together loads of the best bits from other styles of music was massively influential to me. Lemon D was kind of like a mentor to me throughout this time and taught me so much about production so i've got to give him a shout with his track from the seminal Metalheadz 'Platinum Breakz' comp and also include 'Metropolis' by Adam F because its simply the peak the of DnB (i don't care what anyone else has to say on that)...these two tracks are perfect examples.

The third batch of tracks represents a period in my life when i was working at Reckless Records in London's Soho. The Mighty Zaf as he is now known was the manager of the store so anyone who knows that name will know that I was getting exposed to some serious heat each time i did a shift there. I don't think i ever worked a shift there where i didn't piss myself laughing, discover some amazing music and where i didn't get called a c*nt by Zaf! The very first music I heard working there on the very first shift was DKD 'Getaway' and blew my nut. I'd never heard any broken beat up until this moment and from then on it was a discovery of different styles of music that i wasn't previously familiar with as everyone who worked there had serious knowledge.

The last phase of the mixtape is all about the beats...at this point i'm back living in Cardiff and getting more and more into beat tape culture. What can I say about Dilla that hasn't already been said already? These tracks here are two of my favourites of his, (i also strongly suggest going after the sample for 'Track 6'....trust!).... Same goes for Madlib who in my ears is the best to ever do it. This beat of his is up there for me - i must have listened to that about 200 times. Around this time I met my Darkhouse Fam partner in slime Earl Jeffers who was making hip-hop under the Metabeats name, I copped his CD and this track with the homey C-Minus (Hekla) grabbed me instantly and made me go out and find this guy and Darkhouse Fam was born shortly after....rounding off is a couple of other tracks from this era that really struck a chord with me and the way we tried to make beats in the early Darkhouse Family days..."

Next up you got the formative years. Around this time i'd moved from Cardiff to London and thrown myself into experimental electronica music and also sound system culture. A mate of mine put me onto music by Aphex Twin and Squarepusher one night and I was hooked with the freedom these guys would display in their music with each track being different from the last and there not being any rules at all. Also around this time I started making drum and bass and working for Dillinja and Lemon D's Valve label and soundsystem. The raw energy that DnB had and the way the early stuff fused together loads of the best bits from other styles of music was massively influential to me. Lemon D was kind of like a mentor to me throughout this time and taught me so much about production so i've got to give him a shout with his track from the seminal Metalheadz 'Platinum Breakz' comp and also include 'Metropolis' by Adam F because its simply the peak the of DnB (i don't care what anyone else has to say on that)...these two tracks are perfect examples.

The third batch of tracks represents a period in my life when i was working at Reckless Records in London's Soho. The Mighty Zaf as he is now known was the manager of the store so anyone who knows that name will know that I was getting exposed to some serious heat each time i did a shift there. I don't think i ever worked a shift there where i didn't piss myself laughing, discover some amazing music and where i didn't get called a c*nt by Zaf! The very first music I heard working there on the very first shift was DKD 'Getaway' and blew my nut. I'd never heard any broken beat up until this moment and from then on it was a discovery of different styles of music that i wasn't previously familiar with as everyone who worked there had serious knowledge.

The last phase of the mixtape is all about the beats...at this point i'm back living in Cardiff and getting more and more into beat tape culture. What can I say about Dilla that hasn't already been said already? These tracks here are two of my favourites of his, (i also strongly suggest going after the sample for 'Track 6'....trust!).... Same goes for Madlib who in my ears is the best to ever do it. This beat of his is up there for me - i must have listened to that about 200 times. Around this time I met my Darkhouse Fam partner in slime Earl Jeffers who was making hip-hop under the Metabeats name, I copped his CD and this track with the homey C-Minus (Hekla) grabbed me instantly and made me go out and find this guy and Darkhouse Fam was born shortly after....rounding off is a couple of other tracks from this era that really struck a chord with me and the way we tried to make beats in the early Darkhouse Family days..."

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: 808 State
Title: DD0452
Style: Experimental, Jazz, Fusion, Rock, House, Soundtrack
Time: 62 minutes
Date: 2018-01-28

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome 808 State to the Dusk Dubs family and on selection duties is founding member Graham Massey.

"I'd like to say that this is a personal selection of formative influences not a selection by 808 State as a group, that would be complicated as we were at times a boiling cauldron of different influences, but I would say all these choices have effected the kind of albums we have made and the way we present a unique live show over the past 30 years.

I've chosen from many possible selections and tried to keep a moodscape going whilst telling my story." [Graham]

**Tracklisting**

1) Tom Dissavelt - Pacific Dawn - I've picked this track from “Fantasy In Orbit” to represent a starting point in my interest in what at the time was “Space” music, growing up in the 1960’s we were heading out into the stars and ethereal atonal music caught my ear when on TV.

2) Barry Gray - Sleeping Astronauts - Barry Gray - Another example of ‘Space” music by local chap Barry Gray who scored all the Gerry Anderson puppet shows ,he could inject glamour into the void. Brit Space! Cosmo Colonial !

3) Todd Rundgren - Solar Fire - As a teenager Synthesisers were fairly new , mysterious and unobtainable, Todd represents the idea that the lone multi musician could give a more direct view of his imagination through taking control of the studio is fully represented in side two of “Initiation”.

An epic acid drenched trip in to Ravel like oriental otherness in the form of a half hour suite. This ran parallel with a Stevie Wonder obsession along similar lines, solitary sensual synth users.

4) Miles Davis - Little Church - From the first Miles album I got hold of “Live Evil” I bought it in 77 after reading about it on the CBS inner sleeves, plus it had a great cover by Mati Klarvien.

Nothing could prepare me for its intensity and violence then it would pause in moments of “glow in the dark” tenderness like this track featuring and write by Hermeto Pascoal. So began a journey into Miles music and his acolytes.

5) Santana - Aspirations - Actually I think Santana albums pushed me toward Jazz ,its hard to express the importance of that group at that time in the 70 s ,My mates latched on to the post Hendrix rock vibe ,but then Santana came with the Miles /Coltrane /Sanders influenced “Caravanserai” record and an album that most people drew the line at Welcome ,I ended up with some ones rejected copy and its still one of my favourite albums today. It has little of his guitar on it but it has sunlight and oxygen for the ears.

Aspirations is off the follow up album 'Borboletta' and features Jules Broussard on soprano sax, I would say this track lead me to think of using soprano sax when we were putting Pacific together.

That voice over the bed of warm chords.

6) Weather Report - Jungle Book - Probably my favourite Weather Report album is Mysterious Traveller, this track is like a Max Ernst painting, built from a piano improvisation in Zawinul’s house, you can hear the kids running around. They then decorate the tune with choice and unusual instrumentation as an early example of fourth world music. Zawinul was a pioneering synthesist and Wayne Shorter has got to be one of the greatest musician we still have, as a player and as a composer.

7) Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Celestial Bliss - I love the life force that is RRK, he was unlimited in invention and a greedy soul for sound and social exuberance, Please try and catch the doc on him called “The 3 Sided Dream“.

8) Sun Ra - Plutonian Nights - Most mind blowing gig I ever went to was Sun Ra Arkestra in Manchester in 1982, a 3 hour musical tornado that took you to everywhere in time all at once.

My music mates were all there as we all had the bargain bin Impulse albums . Looked like space music, sounded like Hollywood s Ancient Egypt. In the past few years we have organised a Sun Ra Tribute band in Manchester called The Part Time Heliocentric Cosmo Drama After School Club.

Plus some of us were lucky to make a spontaneous album with Arkestra leader Marshall Allen in a local church when he visited in 2015.

Language of Ra

Cinema Soloriens - Cult Of St. Margaret

9) Gherkin Jerks - Dyn Sync - Thought I'd better acknowledge House music in this list, and have chosen The Gherkin Jerks, Larry Heard’s more left field gamelan like experiments represents the super alien quality that made me jump in with both feet to Acid House in the late 80s, plus it fits in with the outsider quality of this play list. When 808 State first started we were attempting to respond to the Chicago sound but I think the British post punk sensibility coloured the mix affected the density and went off in a new direction.

10) Biting Tongues - Feverhouse Pt 9 - I have included my pre 808 State group Biting Tongues, because they are a huge influence on my thinking about music, I was the youngest in the group and I learnt so much from my fellow explorers.

This track is from a soundtrack album we made for Factory Records called “Feverhouse”. We were going through our tape loop primitivism phase, exploring what you could do with the new AMS digital effects in the studio, early 80s our heads full of ENO and TG and a bit of Art Ensemble of Chicago.

11) Weather Report - The Elders - A bit later on in the Weather Report timeline yet a million miles from 'Birdland' - I love these obtuse Wayne Shorter paintings, I love everything they are not.

12) Magma - Soleil D”Ork - Magma are one of my favourite groups ,most tracks are at least 20 minutes long so here is a short light one, A French group formed in the late 60s lead by their visionary drummer Cristian Vander who invented his own language to sing a saga of an Exodus to another world.

Some say its a cross between Stravinsky, spiritual era John Coltrane and may be Otis Redding in lederhosen but mostly its all kinds of original long haul composition with disciplined passionate players.

13) John Coltrane - Welcome - There is an urgent search and arrival in John Coltrane’s later music, a nagging incessant honesty that conveys a universal consciousness. This is what makes him one of the bench marks in music and why so many musicians love him.

There are many pieces I could have used here but again to fit the feel of the mix i've chosen a small but significant one from the 'Kule Se Mama' album.

I always reach for the Coltrane when I need to drain my brain, give it a rinse and squeeze it clean.]]>

**Tracklisting**

1) Donald Byrd & 125th Street NYC - Love Has Come Around

Track thatʼs on par with anything Dr Byrd done with the Mizell Bros, this tune is so uplifting not surprising with Isaac Hayes at the production helm.

2) Level 42 - Starship

This group w#s the soundtrack to my secondary school days, which united my whole 6th form into music#l family to this day. UKʼs Jazz-Funk movement royalty.

3) Fun Boy Three - Faith, Hope & Charity

Typically British but still funky as fuck. If you werenʼt at any of the warehouse raves in London back in the late 80sʼ and donʼt know about this tune, then you werenʼt there. From members of my fave 2Tone band The Specials. Not bad what originally was the BʼSide to “Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum”.

4) Investigators - Baby Iʼm Yours

Proper UK Lovers Rock, brings back great memories of the house parties I went to with this one.

5) Mr Fingers - What About This Love

Larry Heard was a true pioneer in terms of house music, and this tune brought a more musical soulful side to him.

6) Hi Tension - Thereʼs A Reason

We had a few UK soul groups, actually not that many, but this is the first all black UK soul group I heard on radio and saw on TV, that I could relate to.

7) Light Of The World - Peteʼs Crusade

This group is the foundation of the UK Jazz-Funk movement in the 80ʼs, that spawned so many off shoot groups, like Central Line, Incognito & more.

8) The Futures - Ainʼt No Time Fa Nothing

Rare groove at itʼs best, more memories of clubs and parties. Canʼt go wrong with that Philly orchestration and soulful vocal arrangement.

9) Universal Robot Band - Barely Breaking Even

Mr Leroy Burgess is just the master when it comes to the raw
sound of boogie. His arrangements vocally and the production always amazes me and this my favourite from him, only enhanced by the legend John Morales.

10) James Brown - Mind Power

Without James Brown I truly believe popular music would be in less inspiring state. Funk pioneer personified. This particular track I always play from top to bottom.

11) Leon Ware - Comfort (Come Live With Me, Angel)

Leon Ware the master of soul productions, who always twist me up (in a good way) with his musical changes. Hunted the reissue of “Musical Massage” album, which had this track, as Marvin Gayeʼs “I Want You” album, who he produced is my all time fave. Add to that it has the sultry vocals of Minnie Ripperton, my mind was blown. I could wax lyrical all day on this…LOL

12) The Real Thing - Children Of The Ghetto

More known as a pop soul group from Liverpool in the 70ʼs. This track is taken from their “4 from 8” album, which was more a grittier, soulful affair, which I feel is the direction they wanted to go. This is the original and to me the best version.

13) Minnie Ripperton - Baby, This Love I Have

My favourite female voice of all time and really I could pick any of her tracks and be satisfied. Not scared just to be herself, despite what the industry of the time had difficulty in defining.

14) 4 Hero - Golden Age Of Life

Not because these guys are great mates, but this album represented where jungle/drum and bass can go to that others never thought of. Also represented the depth of musical influence they had, that went beyond the genre itself.

15) De La Soul - The Bizness ft Common Sense

They either a little bit different or slightly ahead of the curve (or both), which to me makes them sit kinda off kilter to the hip-hop movement, but have always been solid lyrically and thatʼs how I like it.

16) A Tribe Called Quest - Electric Relaxation

This group represents epitome of 90ʼs hip-hop golden era. They had the production, the flow, lyrical content that many acts could not better, but thatʼs just my opinion.

17) Double Trouble - At The Amphitheater

Wildstyle is where I first learnt about hip-hop culture, while the other hip-hop films of the same period were more about entertainment and Hollywood esthetics, this showed us what it really about in every gritty details. And with West Londonʼs finest, The Clash doing the music how could you go wrong.

18) Gary Bartz - Music Is My Sanctuary

This has become my mantra. Whenever I doubt myself personally or creatively, I put this tune on and without fail puts me back on track. With the Mizell Bros on production and Minnie vocally it soothes my musical soul.

19) Chaka Khan - Move Me No Mountain

Chaka a power house from her start with Rufus til today, she represents what it is to last with all the dark challenges the music industry throws at ya. A survivor and veteran and her rendition of Love Unlimitedʼs rare groove classic is unrivalled in my opinion

20) Leroy Hutson - Itʼs Different

Mr Hutson a true songwriting and producing master, who you can here is influence in artist like Omar, DʼAngelo, Dwele and so many more.]]>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Brent Aquasky
Title: DD0450
Style: , Trip Hop, Hip Hop, Drum and Bass, House, Soul
Time: 107 minutes
Date: 2018-01-14

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week welcome Producer and DJ Brent Aquasky, one third of the legendary Bournemouth Jungle & Drum & Bass trio 'Aquasky'.

Three men, eight albums, five hundred tracks, four labels, numerous aliases, myriad genres: One machine.

Brent Newitt alonside, Dave Wallace and Kieron Bailey have played by their own rules and stamped with their style since day one. 20 years deep into their game and the indelible Aquasky legacy is sprayed colourfully, thoughtfully and, at points antagonistically, over all shades and styles of electronic music.

It began in the early 90s hardcore aftermath; three Bournemouth-based teenagers fresh out of school boasting a small amount of analogue kit, a whole load of influences (from hip-hop to proto techno) and even more free time. They started exploring the new wave of rave: drum & bass. Not entrenched in the London scene, their vantage point from years of raving on the south coast allowed them a refreshed approach. Deep, spacey and, dare we say it, intelligent, it instantly struck a chord with the groundbreaking, scene-shaping drum & bass imprints such as Good Looking, R&S, Reinforced and Moving Shadow, who signed them in 1995.

Emerging with a wealth of unique material that was picked up on by the likes of 4Hero, LTJ Bukem, Gilles Peterson, James Lavelle, Fabio and many more; future-fused tracks such as ‘Dezires’, ‘Cosmic Glue’ and ‘Kauna’ belied the basic equipment they had access to. Squeezing every possible gram of creativity out of their samplers, within two years they’d attracted the attention of major label Polydor in 1997, who released their debut album ‘Orange Dust’. The trio then switched back to Moving Shadow for two more albums before the turn of the century (‘Aftershock’ and ‘Bodyshock’) and their own drum & bass labels Sonix and Incident.

Constantly searching for newness and unchartered fields of fresh inspiration, Aquasky refused to sit still. The first drum & bass act to dabble off-piste, their lower tempo explorations ruffled feathers in the then-disturbingly tight and insular D&B scene. As Tenth & Parker they played with Latin and Jazz breaks on Mr Bongo off-shoot Disorient (culminating with the perennial album ‘Twenty:Twelve’), but much more influentially, they also set up Aquasky VS Masterblaster; an act that was to pioneer and develop the then-burgeoning breakbeat and bassline breaks scene emanating from the UK and soundtracking every respectable club and festival for most of the first decade of this century.

Dropping the Masterblaster suffix (which was only in place to help establish their new 138BPM sound), Aquasky found themselves on a constant world tour as breakbeat spread further and further around the globe. All the while they fuelled the breakbeat scene on seminal labels such as Botchit & Scarper and Lot49 and were often in LA working with the likes of DJ Lethal from Limp Biskit and DJ Starscream from Slipknot as electronic music enjoyed its first wave of commercial popularity in the US.

Their main output, however, was on their own imprints Passenger and 777. Just like their sound and their attitude, Passenger was an exciting creative melting pot of sounds and artists as an array of now household names in bass music got busy; Noisia, DJ Friction, Nick Thayer, Total Science, Rico Tubbs and many more artist’s discographies include Passenger in their early output.
With an open door-policy and an open-armed creative remit, Aquasky’s achievements during this era are best surmised by their ‘Teamplayers’ album that united everyone in the bass game from Pendulum’s El Hornet and Orbital’s Phil Hartnoll to techfunk king Meat Katie and the legendary Ragga Twins who have consistently called upon Aquasky’s production duties for over 15 years.

During this time their Ragga Twins-fronted stepper ‘Dem No No We’ was co-signed on ‘Ali G In The USA’ on both sides of the Atlantic and premier league DJs such as Fatboy Slim championed their breaks to crowds of hundreds of thousands around the world.

As the naughty noughties developed, so did Aquasky. Once again they sought a new sound and found it on the toxic underbelly of jackin’ house. Setting themselves up as Black Noise and grabbing a deal with Fatboy Slim’s Southern Fried label, they went to create a body of work including remixes of Diplo, Wiley, Crookers and Sidney Sampson, who they co-produced the chart-topping ‘Riverside (Let’s Go)’ hit with.

As Black Noise came to a natural pause, the Aquasky machine let-rip once more. Tearing a hole into the bleaker new decade, their 15th anniversary saw them shake hands with Satan himself on ‘Raise The Devil’. A return to their rolling, uncompromised breakbeat dynamics, it featured a series of major league collaborations with the likes of Tenor Fly, Daddy Freddy and Diane Charlemagne and scored top 10 sweetness in the Australian Aria charts.
Throughout this decade the trio have continued to work heavily behind the scenes. Proudly owning their publishing rights to almost every track they’ve ever released since day one, the trio’s business acumen is just as sharp as their studio skills. With less time spent flying from continent to continent every weekend they’ve been able to develop their publishing companies, sync’ing companies and sample pack series Monster Sounds. Run in conjunction with Loopmasters, their Ragga Twins sample pack attracted the attention of Skrillex who went on to invite the MCs to rap on his last album ‘Recess’.

From Moving Shadow to Skrillex; the Aquasky story keeps on unfolding and playing a huge influence in all shades of global bass music in front of and behind the scenes. Their latest venture is a revisitation of their Moving Shadow era D&B. A double decade document that acts as a love letter to the future; every success, achievement and groundbreaking move they’ve made takes roots in these evergreen space-aged sounds. The sound of a three man machine who have consistently played by their own rules and stamping with their own style, long may the Aquasky story continue…

1) Tosca ‘Chocolate Elvis’ – Kruder & Dorfmeister use to love our early work as Aquasky, and we were licensed to a few of their compilations at the time. We still get royalties from those now, over 20 years later! Anyway, Tosca was Richard Dorfmeister’s side project with Rupert Huber. It was a trip hop vibed project, which is what I use to make before Aquasky, so this is a 12” that was always in my sets long before I was playing D&B!

2) UNKLE ‘The Time Has Come (Portishead Mix)’ – This to me is the crème a la crème of trip hop. To me, there isn’t anything better out there that could showcase that early to mid 90’s slow beat vibe. This remix came out before the Portishead ‘Dummy’ album and I believe it would just have been Geoff that would have done this remix. I was once in a record shop in Bristol in 1994 with DJ Format and Sir Beans OBE when this long haired chap came in selling records. The guy behind the counter didn’t buy them, so us 3 scarpered out the shop after this guy and purchased some of the records he had with him. I bought the Mike Longo LP ‘Talking With Spirits’, the other guys buying a few of his soundtracks… I didn’t know at the time that the long haired guy was Geoff Barrow from Portishead, and how surprised we all were when ‘Dummy’ came out and we all realised we had purchased the records he had used to make it! If you know the Mike Longo beat, you will know which Portishead track it was used on! We were offered a deal with Mo-Wax on 2 occasions back in the 90’s but we turned both of them down!

3) RJD2 ‘Here’s What’s Left’ – This tune I purchased whilst touring the US, I think it was bought in Orlando when I was at the store doing an instore signing. This tune was a tune I would reflect upon listening to as I was going through some shitty times in my life not long after buying it… it didn’t make me sad, though it is a sad tune, it actually lifted me up and inspired me… I personally can’t stand love songs or anything like that (sorry Ed Shearon!) and if I need music to chill out to, I listen to some heavy D&B. Don’t ask me why, I just find I can relax to that kind of thing. When I was younger and was studying for college I would listen to gangster rap… it just clears my mind!

4) Mark Murphy ‘Red Clay’ – Mark was a dear friend. I worked with him when we did our Tenth & Parker project for Mr.Bongo in the early 2000’s. We first worked with him in 1997 when we were signed to Polydor. We had hired Sly Stones studio in Sausalito in California. Mark arrived in a AMG Pacer car (titchy little US car) wearing a pair of welly boots, a smock and he had his wig on off-centre. He came into the studio and tuned up his voice using a tuning whistle! Our manager at the time looked at us and said ‘Who the hell is this nutter?’ But for me, I was endeared by him, he was a dude… he use to kick it with Jack Kerouac, he was a true beatnik and an amazing scat artist. I first saw him at Ministry Of Sound at a Brownswood Session that Giles Peterson had put on in 1994. I was in love with his version of Red Clay (the original had recently been sampled by A Tribe Called Quest on ‘Sucka Nigga’) and he performed it at MOS (his vocalised version was later covered by Rare Silk in the 1980’s). Later, when I was working with Mark in Graz in Austria around 2001 I had managed to persuade him to put ‘Red Clay’ back into his live show… and he performed the tune and dedicated it to me. He did the same when I went to see him perform at the Jazz Café in London (again he dedicated it to me). He was a great guy…

5) Herb Geller ft. Mark Murphy ‘Space A La Mode’ – Another Mark Murphy corker of a tune. We sampled this tune on our Reinforced Records release in 1996. Taken from the Herb Geller album ‘An American In Hamburg’. Herb had left the US upon the death of his wife as he was depressed… and ended up settling in Hamburg, hence the album’s title. There is a single vinyl copy of the album but I recommended to find the double album as it comes with an instrumental version as well as the vocal version (sung by Mark). Going back to my last story of Mark when we worked with him in the 90’s, at the time, I later found out, he was on crack! He was well into his 60’s at the time… which may explain the off-centre wig! Dude lived life to the full. RIP Mark, from Brent From Kent (his nickname for me).

6) Kay Dennis ‘Feeling Good’ – I don’t know a great deal about Kay Dennis. I found her self-titled LP in a charity shop in Addlestone for 10p back in the early 90’s (along with about 200 sound libraries – De Wolf, KPM etc… all 10p each!) which this track is from. There are some other corkers on here such as ‘Light My Fire’ and ‘Walk On By’… great lounge jazz and a beautiful singer.

7) Gentle Giant ‘Proclamation’ – As sampled by Lootpack, this tune is DOPE! I already had this album before Lootpack had looped it… they beat me too it! But I did find out, whilst digging in an old secondhand record shop here in Bournemouth called ‘Volume One’ (run by Richard Cargill) that the Gentle Giant singer lived here in Dorset, not far from us. He ran an Antique business which made me laugh, as a few months earlier I saw a van driving around called Gentle Giant Antiques… if only I had known that it was him at the time as I would of got him to sign something… I just thought though how funny, its named after a prog rock group!

8) Bloodrock ‘Timepiece’ – I love the sound of a prog rock vocalist… I don’t know what draws me to this genre being that I grew up listening to hip hop and then I got into rave and jungle… must be because I liked ZZ Top as a kid perhaps!!! But this tune is just HEAVY! I bought this LP from a car boot sale in Walton On Thames around 1998 I think. I had my portable record player with me at the time and the seller was very patient with me, as I sat on the grass in the midday sun, needle-dropping till I found some heat. And heat I found in this album. Some of you who may know our backcat will recognise this sample from a tune we did with the Canadian rapper Sixtoo.

9) Peshay ‘Piano Tune’ – In 1994 I had burned myself out from the rave/jungle scene… I had been to so many raves and illegal parties since the late 80’s that I only wanted to listen to slow, downbeat music, which is why Trip Hop was a big thing to me (though I hated the name of the genre, when I started making it, the name hadn’t been invented and it was just instrumental hip hop). So around this time I was writing ‘instrumental hip hop’ with Dave from Aquasky. Keiron (from Aquasky) used to make tunes with Dave at the weekend and being that me and Dave shared a house, I got to know Keiron. He used to make mixtapes and he did a tape which had this tune on it, as well as Roni Size ‘Music Box’, Krust ‘Jazz Note’ and the Global Communication’s remix of Palm Skin Productions… I hadn’t heard music like it before… it all seemed to use really cool jazz samples and wasn’t too dark. Being that I was already caning my jazz samples from my collection to make hip hop, the obvious step was for us to all make a tune together as a trio… and Aquasky was born. This tune to me is one of the best from that era… incredible musicality and emotion.

10) Message ‘Is That The Way’ – This album was given to me by Daryl from Second To None breakdancers. Daryl is an old friend and he also appeared on the covers of our 2x ‘Raw Skillz’ 12” singles we did on Polydor in 1997. He knew my love for a folky jazz vocal and he was bang on the money with this album… its excellent and always a joy to be introduced to a group you had no prior knowledge of. Cheers mate.

11) Hunch ‘Astrids Beat’ – I got to know Kev Beadle from when he ran the Mr. Bongo shop when it was in Berwick Street in Soho. Kev used to hook me up with some great jazz LP’s when I travelled up to see him. As well as some wicked hip hop. This tune came out on his label and I thought WOW… Hunch was an incredibly talented producer (I have no idea whatever happened to him, I can only hope he carried on producing). Kev knew I loved Hunch’s work and a couple of years later, after we had started Aquasky, he asked us to remix Hunch which we did… and that remix was a staple for Bukem throughout 1995 into 1996.

12) Mark Murphy ‘Stolen Moments’ – I think I have spoken a lot about Mark already… so all I will say is that this is an incredible song and his lyrics are unbeatable. I spent many an evening many moons ago getting smoked out to this tune!

13) Champions Of Nature ‘Salsa Smurf’ – A UK super group that had Jehst and Lewis Parker in it to name a few. Such a great tune and a wicked vibe… I can’t fault this track and I think its defo an under-rated gem in the British Hip Hop arsenal. LL couldn’t live without his radio, I couldn’t live without this record being in my collection!

14) Blame ‘Music Takes You’ – Seal sample version – This is probably my favourite ever Moving Shadow tune but it has to have the Seal sample in it… I can’t have it without that sample as it conjures so many memories for me of going to London as a 17 year old in my VW Beetle with my mate JayDog and staying with my mates Jano and Pheme. We use to go painting the Halls Of Fame and other things and spend long nights getting wrecked and recording pirate radio stations which I would bring back to Bournemouth and do copies of for mates. Jano had this on white label and I was so in love with it I actually recorded over the start of one of the pirate radio cassettes so I could listen to this tune over and over again on my slow drive back to Bournemouth… I still have that tape now! Since then I have got to know Blame and I have probably done his head in with how much I love this tune and the memories it provokes!

15) Aquasky ‘Your Love’ – The latest d&b release by ourselves on Simon Bassline Smith and Drumsound’s Technique label which came out the summer of 2017. Our first foray back into d&b for nearly 15 years! We wanted to make a tune that doffed its cap to the mid-90s jazzy liquid vibes and I have to say (though I am biased) that I think we achieved it We had a big bag of studio tricks back in the 90s (though somewhat primitive now) and we managed to remember some of them and put them into this tune, to get a real 90s feel!

16) Aquasky ‘Dezires’ – The second tune we ever wrote as Aquasky in February 1995. This tune samples Les McCann and went on to really cement our name into the D&B history books. 8 or so years later DJ Marky contacted us to get the synth patches for this tune so he could do a cover version which Zinc put out on his Bingo label. I think this tune defines the liquid/jazz/intelligent sound of that era… but again, I am probably biased!

17) DJ Mink ‘Can You Relate’ – I discovered Warp in the 80’s when they did a free mixtape on the front of some music magazine which I think my sister had a subscription for. I use to listen to that tape endlessly… I can’t recall if this tune was on that tape but it certainly set me up for collecting Warp records. I was also an insatiable UK Rap fan and loved our music more than the US music because it was more upbeat and reminded me of electro. So this tune ticked many boxes… sampling Gary Toms Empire, it’s all about the drums and the horns on this track. A few years later I met a UK rapper called Blue Eyes (he put on UK Fresh 97) and we became good mates and still are. I use to travel to Derby and stay with him and got to meet a lot of the crews from up that way at the time (1993). Blue Eyes early releases were done with DJ Mink… I must have done his head in going on about how much I rated Mink!!!

18) MC Solaar ‘Obsolete’ – Back in 1990 I saved some vouchers from a newspaper and got a ferry to France for a £1. It was only a day trip with a then girlfriend but at that time (and still to this day) I was collecting rap 7” singles. I went to a Carrefour supermarket and bought the customary cheese, bread and beer but I also hit the vinyl section and copped a load of French rap. The greatest buy of that day was a Supreme NTM 7” which I still have now and love it just as much (C’est Claire). This started my love for French rap and I visited a number of times over the next couple of years buying records. This is when I found out about MC Solaar and for Christmas in 1994 I got the album ‘Prose Combat’ that this track appears on. Not only some great raps but produced by the awesome Jimmy Jay and La Funk Mob (later to become Cassius) who were producing some killer tunes on Mo Wax at the time… this album is also where I believe Alex Reece got his bass sound for Pulp Fiction!

19) A Tribe Called Quest ‘We Can Get Down’ – The album that inspired me to produce… I love this album. I love that lo-pass filter jazz vibe of hip hop and I would have to say this is probably my all-time top hip hop album. It really reinvigorated my desire to hunt down samples and I have still yet to get all the awesome loops that they used on this album… but I have most of them! 25 years old in 2018… how crazy is that! It’s better than all the hip hop albums that come out now!

20) Python Lee Jackson ‘Broken Dream’ – I was introduced to this tune only recently, a few years ago, by my mate Matt Meade (Pheme from earlier). It ticks all the boxes for me, great singing, moody emotional music… deep. But of course the vocals are dope, its Rod Bloody Stewart! This sounds like a lost Portishead tune, so much so that, for a laugh, I tweeted Geoff from Portishead and said how much I liked the new tune he had made with Rod Stewart. I don’t think he got the joke as he just replied that it wasn’t one of his! It made me chuckle though because this could quite easily been on the Dummy album they put out…

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week welcome Producer and DJ Brent Aquasky, one third of the legendary Bournemouth Jungle & Drum & Bass trio 'Aquasky'.

Three men, eight albums, five hundred tracks, four labels, numerous aliases, myriad genres: One machine.

Brent Newitt alonside, Dave Wallace and Kieron Bailey have played by their own rules and stamped with their style since day one. 20 years deep into their game and the indelible Aquasky legacy is sprayed colourfully, thoughtfully and, at points antagonistically, over all shades and styles of electronic music.

It began in the early 90s hardcore aftermath; three Bournemouth-based teenagers fresh out of school boasting a small amount of analogue kit, a whole load of influences (from hip-hop to proto techno) and even more free time. They started exploring the new wave of rave: drum & bass. Not entrenched in the London scene, their vantage point from years of raving on the south coast allowed them a refreshed approach. Deep, spacey and, dare we say it, intelligent, it instantly struck a chord with the groundbreaking, scene-shaping drum & bass imprints such as Good Looking, R&S, Reinforced and Moving Shadow, who signed them in 1995.

Emerging with a wealth of unique material that was picked up on by the likes of 4Hero, LTJ Bukem, Gilles Peterson, James Lavelle, Fabio and many more; future-fused tracks such as ‘Dezires’, ‘Cosmic Glue’ and ‘Kauna’ belied the basic equipment they had access to. Squeezing every possible gram of creativity out of their samplers, within two years they’d attracted the attention of major label Polydor in 1997, who released their debut album ‘Orange Dust’. The trio then switched back to Moving Shadow for two more albums before the turn of the century (‘Aftershock’ and ‘Bodyshock’) and their own drum & bass labels Sonix and Incident.

Constantly searching for newness and unchartered fields of fresh inspiration, Aquasky refused to sit still. The first drum & bass act to dabble off-piste, their lower tempo explorations ruffled feathers in the then-disturbingly tight and insular D&B scene. As Tenth & Parker they played with Latin and Jazz breaks on Mr Bongo off-shoot Disorient (culminating with the perennial album ‘Twenty:Twelve’), but much more influentially, they also set up Aquasky VS Masterblaster; an act that was to pioneer and develop the then-burgeoning breakbeat and bassline breaks scene emanating from the UK and soundtracking every respectable club and festival for most of the first decade of this century.

Dropping the Masterblaster suffix (which was only in place to help establish their new 138BPM sound), Aquasky found themselves on a constant world tour as breakbeat spread further and further around the globe. All the while they fuelled the breakbeat scene on seminal labels such as Botchit & Scarper and Lot49 and were often in LA working with the likes of DJ Lethal from Limp Biskit and DJ Starscream from Slipknot as electronic music enjoyed its first wave of commercial popularity in the US.

Their main output, however, was on their own imprints Passenger and 777. Just like their sound and their attitude, Passenger was an exciting creative melting pot of sounds and artists as an array of now household names in bass music got busy; Noisia, DJ Friction, Nick Thayer, Total Science, Rico Tubbs and many more artist’s discographies include Passenger in their early output.
With an open door-policy and an open-armed creative remit, Aquasky’s achievements during this era are best surmised by their ‘Teamplayers’ album that united everyone in the bass game from Pendulum’s El Hornet and Orbital’s Phil Hartnoll to techfunk king Meat Katie and the legendary Ragga Twins who have consistently called upon Aquasky’s production duties for over 15 years.

During this time their Ragga Twins-fronted stepper ‘Dem No No We’ was co-signed on ‘Ali G In The USA’ on both sides of the Atlantic and premier league DJs such as Fatboy Slim championed their breaks to crowds of hundreds of thousands around the world.

Setting themselves up as Black Noise and grabbing a deal with Fatboy Slim’s Southern Fried label, they went to create a body of work including remixes of Diplo, Wiley, Crookers and Sidney Sampson, who they co-produced the chart-topping ‘Riverside (Let’s Go)’ hit with.

A return to their rolling, uncompromised breakbeat dynamics, it featured a series of major league collaborations with the likes of Tenor Fly, Daddy Freddy and Diane Charlemagne and scored top 10 sweetness in the Australian Aria charts.

I found her self-titled LP in a charity shop in Addlestone for 10p back in the early 90’s (along with about 200 sound libraries – De Wolf, KPM etc… all 10p each!) which this track is from. There are some other corkers on here such as ‘Light My Fire’ and ‘Walk On By’… great lounge jazz and a beautiful singer.

7) Gentle Giant ‘Proclamation’ – As sampled by Lootpack, this tune is DOPE! I already had this album before Lootpack had looped it… they beat me too it! But I did find out, whilst digging in an old secondhand record shop here in Bournemouth called ‘Volume One’ (run by Richard Cargill) that the Gentle Giant singer lived here in Dorset, not far from us. He ran an Antique business which made me laugh, as a few months earlier I saw a van driving around called Gentle Giant Antiques… if only I had known that it was him at the time as I would of got him to sign something… I just thought though how funny, its named after a prog rock group!

8) Bloodrock ‘Timepiece’ – I love the sound of a prog rock vocalist… I don’t know what draws me to this genre being that I grew up listening to hip hop and then I got into rave and jungle… must be because I liked ZZ Top as a kid perhaps!!! But this tune is just HEAVY! I bought this LP from a car boot sale in Walton On Thames around 1998 I think. I had my portable record player with me at the time and the seller was very patient with me, as I sat on the grass in the midday sun, needle-dropping till I found some heat. And heat I found in this album. Some of you who may know our backcat will recognise this sample from a tune we did with the Canadian rapper Sixtoo.

9) Peshay ‘Piano Tune’ – In 1994 I had burned myself out from the rave/jungle scene… I had been to so many raves and illegal parties since the late 80’s that I only wanted to listen to slow, downbeat music, which is why Trip Hop was a big thing to me (though I hated the name of the genre, when I started making it, the name hadn’t been invented and it was just instrumental hip hop). So around this time I was writing ‘instrumental hip hop’ with Dave from Aquasky. Keiron (from Aquasky) used to make tunes with Dave at the weekend and being that me and Dave shared a house, I got to know Keiron. He used to make mixtapes and he did a tape which had this tune on it, as well as Roni Size ‘Music Box’, Krust ‘Jazz Note’ and the Global Communication’s remix of Palm Skin Productions… I hadn’t heard music like it before… it all seemed to use really cool jazz samples and wasn’t too dark. Being that I was already caning my jazz samples from my collection to make hip hop, the obvious step was for us to all make a tune together as a trio… and Aquasky was born. This tune to me is one of the best from that era… incredible musicality and emotion.

10) Message ‘Is That The Way’ – This album was given to me by Daryl from Second To None breakdancers. Daryl is an old friend and he also appeared on the covers of our 2x ‘Raw Skillz’ 12” singles we did on Polydor in 1997. He knew my love for a folky jazz vocal and he was bang on the money with this album… its excellent and always a joy to be introduced to a group you had no prior knowledge of. Cheers mate.

11) Hunch ‘Astrids Beat’ – I got to know Kev Beadle from when he ran the Mr. Bongo shop when it was in Berwick Street in Soho. Kev used to hook me up with some great jazz LP’s when I travelled up to see him. As well as some wicked hip hop. This tune came out on his label and I thought WOW… Hunch was an incredibly talented producer (I have no idea whatever happened to him, I can only hope he carried on producing). Kev knew I loved Hunch’s work and a couple of years later, after we had started Aquasky, he asked us to remix Hunch which we did… and that remix was a staple for Bukem throughout 1995 into 1996.

12) Mark Murphy ‘Stolen Moments’ – I think I have spoken a lot about Mark already… so all I will say is that this is an incredible song and his lyrics are unbeatable. I spent many an evening many moons ago getting smoked out to this tune!

13) Champions Of Nature ‘Salsa Smurf’ – A UK super group that had Jehst and Lewis Parker in it to name a few. Such a great tune and a wicked vibe… I can’t fault this track and I think its defo an under-rated gem in the British Hip Hop arsenal. LL couldn’t live without his radio, I couldn’t live without this record being in my collection!

14) Blame ‘Music Takes You’ – Seal sample version – This is probably my favourite ever Moving Shadow tune but it has to have the Seal sample in it… I can’t have it without that sample as it conjures so many memories for me of going to London as a 17 year old in my VW Beetle with my mate JayDog and staying with my mates Jano and Pheme. We use to go painting the Halls Of Fame and other things and spend long nights getting wrecked and recording pirate radio stations which I would bring back to Bournemouth and do copies of for mates. Jano had this on white label and I was so in love with it I actually recorded over the start of one of the pirate radio cassettes so I could listen to this tune over and over again on my slow drive back to Bournemouth… I still have that tape now! Since then I have got to know Blame and I have probably done his head in with how much I love this tune and the memories it provokes!

15) Aquasky ‘Your Love’ – The latest d&b release by ourselves on Simon Bassline Smith and Drumsound’s Technique label which came out the summer of 2017. Our first foray back into d&b for nearly 15 years! We wanted to make a tune that doffed its cap to the mid-90s jazzy liquid vibes and I have to say (though I am biased) that I think we achieved it We had a big bag of studio tricks back in the 90s (though somewhat primitive now) and we managed to remember some of them and put them into this tune, to get a real 90s feel!

16) Aquasky ‘Dezires’ – The second tune we ever wrote as Aquasky in February 1995. This tune samples Les McCann and went on to really cement our name into the D&B history books. 8 or so years later DJ Marky contacted us to get the synth patches for this tune so he could do a cover version which Zinc put out on his Bingo label. I think this tune defines the liquid/jazz/intelligent sound of that era… but again, I am probably biased!

17) DJ Mink ‘Can You Relate’ – I discovered Warp in the 80’s when they did a free mixtape on the front of some music magazine which I think my sister had a subscription for. I use to listen to that tape endlessly… I can’t recall if this tune was on that tape but it certainly set me up for collecting Warp records. I was also an insatiable UK Rap fan and loved our music more than the US music because it was more upbeat and reminded me of electro. So this tune ticked many boxes… sampling Gary Toms Empire, it’s all about the drums and the horns on this track. A few years later I met a UK rapper called Blue Eyes (he put on UK Fresh 97) and we became good mates and still are. I use to travel to Derby and stay with him and got to meet a lot of the crews from up that way at the time (1993). Blue Eyes early releases were done with DJ Mink… I must have done his head in going on about how much I rated Mink!!!

18) MC Solaar ‘Obsolete’ – Back in 1990 I saved some vouchers from a newspaper and got a ferry to France for a £1. It was only a day trip with a then girlfriend but at that time (and still to this day) I was collecting rap 7” singles. I went to a Carrefour supermarket and bought the customary cheese, bread and beer but I also hit the vinyl section and copped a load of French rap. The greatest buy of that day was a Supreme NTM 7” which I still have now and love it just as much (C’est Claire). This started my love for French rap and I visited a number of times over the next couple of years buying records. This is when I found out about MC Solaar and for Christmas in 1994 I got the album ‘Prose Combat’ that this track appears on. Not only some great raps but produced by the awesome Jimmy Jay and La Funk Mob (later to become Cassius) who were producing some killer tunes on Mo Wax at the time… this album is also where I believe Alex Reece got his bass sound for Pulp Fiction!

19) A Tribe Called Quest ‘We Can Get Down’ – The album that inspired me to produce… I love this album. I love that lo-pass filter jazz vibe of hip hop and I would have to say this is probably my all-time top hip hop album. It really reinvigorated my desire to hunt down samples and I have still yet to get all the awesome loops that they used on this album… but I have most of them! 25 years old in 2018… how crazy is that! It’s better than all the hip hop albums that come out now!

20) Python Lee Jackson ‘Broken Dream’ – I was introduced to this tune only recently, a few years ago, by my mate Matt Meade (Pheme from earlier). It ticks all the boxes for me, great singing, moody emotional music… deep. But of course the vocals are dope, its Rod Bloody Stewart! This sounds like a lost Portishead tune, so much so that, for a laugh, I tweeted Geoff from Portishead and said how much I liked the new tune he had made with Rod Stewart. I don’t think he got the joke as he just replied that it wasn’t one of his! It made me chuckle though because this could quite easily been on the Dummy album they put out…

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we welcome DJ, Producer and broken beat don Alex Phountzi to the Dusk Dubs family.

As a writer, producer and remixer, Alex has consistently been at the fore front of some of the most forward-thinking music, as a member of the 'Bugz In The Attic' crew, 'Neon Phusion', 'Greenmoney' and most recently, alongside IG Culutre with 'NameBrandSound'.

2017 saw the official return of the 'CoOp' moniker with Alex heavily involved as part of the Selectors Assemble Collective, a growing collective of DJ's producers, artists, movers and shakers that assist projects connected with CoOp Presents and beyond.

Alex has forthcoming material on the new Selectors Assemble EPs coming soon on the CoOp Presents label. Check their previous release: CoOp presents: Selectors Assemble on First World Records, and their monthly 'Selectors Assemble' Radio show on Giles Peterson's Worldwide Radio.

As expected, Alex provides a scorching personal selection for his Dusk Dubs volume.

"I took this literally so this isn’t a definitive list or anything like that, just a collection of tracks that I would play at this time in the heat.

It’s the beginning of January 2018, so this is for the escapists…"

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

To close out proceedings for 2017, we have invited DJ and producer Leo Mas to compile the perfect Dusk Dubs New Year’s Eve volume.

Originally born in Sardinia, from the age of 7 he lives in Milan, Italy…. His musical journey began as a child listening to the many records his father would buy alongside the programming of the Italian Public Radio Broadcaster RAI.

Developing a vinyl collection himself from the age of 9, Leo’s taste would cross all musical boundaries and genres… resulting today in an amazing personal collection of over 32,000 records.

Leo is often regarded as an originator of Balearic sound and a true pioneer of House music, he was both a protagonist and witness of the club scene phenomenon that was born in Ibiza during those heady days of 85, '86, '87 and '88 (The Second Summer of Love), alongside Alfredo, and '90.

As taste makers go, he's as relevant today as he was back then, and that is why we are blessed to have him choose a selection of his favorite tracks of 2017.

"This mix consists of 25 tracks, they are no faster than 102 bpm. There are no edits, no reissues and are all tracks published for the first time in 2017".

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Jerome Hill
Title: DD0446
Style: Reggae, Dub, Jazz, Spoken Word, Exotica, World, Hip-Hop, Dowtempo,
Time: 124 minutes
Date: 2017-12-17

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This weekend we welcome producer, record label owner and world renown DJ, Jerome Hill to the Dusk Dubs family.

DJing since 1990, beginning with Hip-Hop, Acid House, UK Bleep, Breakbeat and Techno, a residency throughout the mid to late 90’s on infamous London sound system “JIBA”, manager and music buyer for 2 record shops Trackheads & Dragon Discs in Camden, London, (1997-2004) Jerome has been a permanent fixture on the London scene and lives and breathes the music, his sets being educational and hedonistic in equal measures..

Founder of Don’t Recordings, Fat Hop records (for fans of Old Skool Hip Hop/B-Boy Breaks) , and more recently the booming acid house of “Super Rhythm Trax” and the 1992 rave themed “Hornsey Hardcore”.

His bi-monthly ‘Don’t’ club night in Dalston launched in 2012 and has built a strong following amongst true Techno lovers, with Jerome as its resident and carefully chosen, respected guests passing through every time.

Jerome plays regularly around the world, with a hectic gig schedule that regularly takes him up and down the UK as well as overseas to Brazil, Japan, Germany, Spain, France, Czech, Belgium, Poland, Ireland and beyond.

Be it a Techno dancefloor, an Old Skool Rave or a Hip-Hop jam, Jerome is at home and relishes bringing something new to the party with surprises around every corner.

"Really enjoyed playing through these. I recorded it as I was packing my records into boxes in preparation for a house move so although I had a main crate of about 50 records that I’d previously loaded to draw from, I was also coming across others during my packing and throwing them on. As with all of my recorded sets, its unplanned and just goes with what feels right/what springs into view at the time of needing to put on the next tune.

Pleasingly, it didn’t deviate too much from the plan stylistically, in that the aim was for it to be a casual stroll through the the more zoned out "vibe cannons" in my collection, taking in the colourful, the out there, the uplifting and the deranged all of which are very special to me for different reasons and many of which I picked up during my time managing the Dragon Disc and Trackheads record shops in Camden during the 90’s and 2000s.

Thanks Dusk Dubs for the invite"

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This weekend we have the pleasure of welcoming author and musical aficionado Sanjiv Ahluwalia to the Dusk Dubs family.

"This is my first mix in over ten years and I wanted to ensure it was firstly on point and secondly, highlight the wide array of brilliant new music being produced. Brilliant new music which I’ve tried to shine a light on through my recent book, The Secret List - London; a guide book/travelogue to London’s independent record shops. The premise of the mix, reflected in the title, is an alternative to the dystopian outlook of the future in popular culture. My vision, represented in the mix, is a more positive outlook where even in an automated, digital world, the simple and wonderful thing of singing a lullaby to a child still remains precious.

The music then ranging from the classical overtures of the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra to the disjointed beats of FYI Chris is about an innovative, current music scene which just maybe might soundtrack a lullaby to a digital child sometime in the future."

Enjoy.... Sanjiv

Zaf has been responsible for compiling the Americana/ Private Wax series on BBE and has done many productions and edits alongside Phil Asher. They are just about to launch their new label ‘80s'.

"All the songs in this mix are taken from albums which were ingrained into my musical psyche at a very early age. Every part of every song, every pause or non pause were embedded into me through countless hours of listening and re-listening when they there were no distractions like there are today, so they were etched into my musical DNA and are part of me just like a lung a limb or a thumb.

Yet I could have chosen a hundred or more different songs and I would have equally been happy with the selections however this is how it is and I am more than happy with how this mix ended up" (Zaf)

1 & 2) Supertramp - Easy Does It/Sister Moonshine

Many an evening was spent in my front room during the '70s listening to my 2 elder brother’s record collection. There was a 14 year difference between my eldest brother, Hamayun, who sadly passed away one year ago, almost to the hour of me writing this right now. My second brother, Chow as he was nicknamed purchased most of the records but they both had very similar tastes. Supertramp were one the first bands I really started digging. Their 1975 LP famously titled "Crisis, What Crisis" was one of their finest. The way the first two tracks on the LP segued into each other was musical magic to the ears of a 9 year old. The intro track "Easy Does It" starts off with a man whistling alongside the sound of footsteps, followed by the sound of a car bleeping a horn. These sounds fascinated me then and listening again 40 years later evoke such strong feelings. Musically both tracks are harmonically flawless. I still think Supertramp are one of the most underrated bands of all time.

3) Steve Miller Band - Swingtown

This was taken from his 1977 LP "Book Of Dreams". The rolling funky bass line and drums were moulding my ears of things to come, as my brothers tastes although funky, was in essence strictly drawn to white artists, but not completely. Saying that all my selections here are by white artists, not that it matters of course. The Steve Miller Band were my first ever concert when they performed at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1982. I listened to this LP over a hundred times that year & in years to come as well as the "Fly Like An Eagle" & "The Joker" albums, which are both '70s classics.

4) Joe Walsh - Inner Tube/Theme From Boat Weirdos

If I had the chance to go back in time, 1978 is where I would go. I was 11 years old and music was as important to me at that time as much as skateboarding, football & fashion. My obsessions were developing at a rapid rate, all consuming. I grew up in Northfields, Ealing, a short skateboard ride away from to a newly built skatepark gloriously named Rolling Thunder in Brentford. Money was always a barrier, but fortunately both my elder brothers also got into skateboarding so many an evening was spent skating to the sounds of whatever was playing through the house sound system at Rolling Thunder. There was so much music being released in 1978 that is now considered classic. Well in my opinion Joe Walsh's "But Seriously Folks" LP is up there for me as one of the best rock LP's ever made. Again it was played extensively at home, but they also caned it at Rolling Thunder. The instrumental tracks I have chosen from this LP are so unique. "Inner Tube" starts with a keyboard synth I can't recall hearing anywhere else similar, the accompanying piano is almost Prince like, then as it breaks into "Theme From Boat Weirdos" I remember one night listening on big 1970's headphones and having my first ever musical trip, literally like a drug infused experience, something I will never forget. The whole album is amazing and I used to look at the artwork for hours. Bless Joe Walsh.

5) Joni Mitchell - Shades Of Scarlet Conquering

And then came Joni to take us to a higher level, perhaps to the highest level possible to go in music for me. My favourite ever male artist may have written "Nothing Compares To You" about Joni Mitchell. We knew he was a fan, obviously it wasn't about her, but the sentiment rings true. My brothers bought all the Joni LP's from the early '70s and her records were constantly on in my house. Although between the age of 5-10 I couldn't really appreciate her genius, her superiority was subliminally fed to me, and only when I was older did I truly realise that Joni was on another echelon to everyone else. Lyrically she is unsurpassable, and however clever I try to be about how good she is, the English language hasn't got enough superlatives to do Joni justice. Just google "Joni Mitchell-Shades Of Scarlet Conquering lyrics" and see for yourself if you're not familiar. I could have chosen any Joni track from this or any '70s LP to be honest.

6) Steely Dan - Black Cow

The poignance of writing this just a few days after Walter Becker's passing makes it all the harder. However, what he left us is an incredible legacy, and similar to Joni, the highest praise isn't enough. Black Cow is by far my favourite ever Steely Dan track and one I never get bored of listening to. I have started playing it regularly again in my DJ sets after picking up the Spanish 12" which is loudly cut. My favourite parts in this song are where the girl backing vocalists come in especially at the end singing "So Outrageous!", and of course the unreal keyboard & sax solo's. Although released in 1977, Aja was another LP I remember being played at the skatepark Rolling Thunder in 1978, my musical playground.

7, 8 & 9) The Cars - Bye Bye Love/Shoo Be Doo/Candy-O

It's difficult to fathom sometimes how creative the years 1975 to 1980 were musically across all the different genres of music many of us are into. Hence groups like The Cars, although quite big in the USA were never heralded or universally appreciated for how good they really were, and even when they were acknowledged or popularised it was in their latter years for music that wasn't as good as their earlier material. The Cars first two albums released in 1978 & '79 were and still are two of the best rock LP's released, both as good as the other, and outrageously under rated despite both making the top 10 albums of the year in the hugely influential Rolling Stone magazine. I played these two records to death, and could have easily picked out any tracks from either LP. In 1978 my brother was one of the first people to buy a Sony Walkman and I used to freak my friends out by playing a recording of an aeroplane going past and then watching them look over their heads and shit themselves. Listening to music changed from then on in, and The Cars were heavily listened to on that first ever Walkman.

10) The Stranglers - Walk On By

Not many bands were as good as The Stranglers, period. My oldest & best mates Lee Hiom & Jamie Robinson were massive Stranglers fans and we used to go to Jamie's shed and pretend we were in the band, taking turns on who we were, Hugh Cornwell, Jet Black, Dave Greenfield or the bassist JJ. Burnel. On this particular classic there was an abundance of choice, the mental keyboard solo, the funky bass, the sick drumming or the wicked guitar licks. The Stranglers were so unique, no other bands in this ilk even came near to how good they were.

11) Supertramp - Take The Long Way Home.

1978 again...Supertramp released their classic album "Breakfast In America". Another record I listened to a thousand times from start to finish. In the era where Lp's were like a a journey and every track was as good as the last. "Take The Long Way Home" was the opening track on when you turned the Lp over, a special track on brilliant albums, always.

12) Kate Bush - The Man With The Child In His Eyes.

I could have easily have included many Kate Bush tracks especially "Wuthering Heights" which evokes such deep feelings & memories that it's sometimes difficult to listen to such are the emotions.
I'm an absolute sucker for strings & piano, and Kate Bush is one of the few Tories who gets a pass. Bless her...

13) Japan - Ghosts

We're into the '80s now and high school came into play. I wasn't a massive fan of Japan at this time but in retrospect this particular song again brings back such memories of circa 1982 that my stomach cramps up sometimes when I listen to David Sylvian's haunting voice in this totally unique song. I should at this point state that many Roxy Music and David Bowie songs could easily have made my list, both of whom were hugely influential to Sylvain's style.

14) Joe Jackson - It's Different For Girls

On our trips to the Sunsplash Festival myself and my best boy Phil Asher used to share rooms and inevitably listen to music from our youth days. I remember one particular early evening after we had an unforgettable day Phil played this through the stereo and within seconds the pair of used were so overwhelmed by the memories we both started crying uncontrollably! Can you imagine that happening in 25 years time to any of the youth of today to a song that is in the top 10 right now? Joe Jackson's "Stepping Out" also is up there for me in the category of my all time classics.

15) The Police - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic.

Again, I could have chosen a few of out of The Police's repertoire, but this one really is my favourite ever Police song. I still feel the urge to listen to it at least every few months, and even then I will listen to it a few times in a row. It really reminds of a particular memory of when I was 14 years old, going to play Saturday morning football with the school and listening to this on the radio or my Walkman on the way back. Also, I loved the video, back in the days whenI used to record Top Of The Pops and watch everything on repeat a million times. Musically this song is fucking incredible.

16) Prefab Sprout - Bonny

There was a re-release of this amazing second Lp a few years back on CD. I got a copy to play in my car and admittedly I hadn't listened to this album for maybe 10 years or so prior to getting this deluxe edition CD. From the first bar it hit me like a ten-ton lorry. The whole LP is breath-taking and I remember listening to Bonny about 5 times in a row. Nostalgia is can be delightful & painful in equal measure when you get that yearning for a return to your youth.

17) Hall & Oates - Wait For Me.

I love Hall & Oates from an early age, they had that perfect combination of AOR & soul in many of their songs. Their Rock N Soul compilation released in 1983 was purchased by myself from Our Price in Ealing Broadway, home taped and then listened to hundreds of times on my way to school & back. Again, I could have picked any track from it, but opted for the live version of "Wait For Me" which actually on appeared on the tape version I think, so I must have bought the tape as well as the vinyl.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome producer, DJ and artist Dominic Stanton to the Dusk Dubs family.

As a producer, Dominic has been responsible for some of the most forward-thinking music under his various guises and pseudonyms, over numerous musical movements, be it..... Dom-Unique, Domu, Sonar's Ghost, The Ghosts, Umod, Zoltar, Bakura, Blue Monkeys, Kudu, Legends Of The Underground, Realside, Rima, Sonar Circle, Static Imprints,and Yotoko.... So, it's a real pleasure to have Dominic on board, giving us an insight into his musical DNA.

Having been DJ'ing for around 11 years from the age of 14, Dominic Stanton's musical journey began with UK Hip-Hop, which led to lessons in Jungle, Detroit, Brazilian, Jazz, Funk, Soul….the list go on, with a basic premise of anything that is soulful is in the bag. As a producer, Sonar Circle was the first moniker used in the realm of Drum and Bass, alongside Static Imprints on the legendary Reinforced Records label around 1996.

Domu was created from the ashes of the experimentation that can be heard on their 1999 album "Radius"…. the first L.P from Sonar Circle, which could now fuse all these elements far more easily than was possible within the restrictions of the Drum and Bass mainframe.

He released his first ‘Domu’ production in 1999 for Dego's 2000 Black label and began using that as his primary alias throughout the early 2000s. Since then highlights have come in the form of the Rima L.P on JCR (with Volcov) and remixes of Cinematic Orchestra, Michelle Lawson, 4hero, King Britt and Jazzanova. Domu has also notched up releases for the Archive and Skindeep imprints; most notably, the full-length ‘Up and Down’ came out on Archive in 2001, in addition, he has also worked with Mark de Clive-Lowe and Paul Dolby (Seiji) as Kudu.

**Tracklisting **

1) Otis Reading - Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay

Having parents who were teens in the Sixties meant there was lots of Soul and Motown in the house. They had some LP’s but mostly collated favourites on tapes played and rotated on long car journeys to Wales or wherever. I associate this bassline, along with Percy Sledge ‘When A Man Loves A Woman’ playing loudly on a Sunday morning, the bass creeping up the wall to wake me up. This is the music that creeps into your soul, and this song steeped in all the marvel and sadness of Otis’ life is in itself the most bittersweet of optimism…or is it just acceptance of what life really is? A collection of random events you just have to roll with.

2) Ian Dury - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick

As my sister and I were born in the 70’s, Punk definitely passed my parents by, as they entered babies/work/mortgage mode, much as my wife and I will remember from 2010 onwards. Dad had this LP though, and our generation’s version of sitting round the piano would be assembling round the stereo system taking in all the info from a sleeve whilst hearing the LP. Retrospectively Ian Dury too is a life and talent you can study the highs and lows, but to me then it was just good bawdy cockney fun, good memories.

3) Paul Williams - Phantoms Theme

Exposure to films, especially great 70’s and 80’s horror came young whilst hanging about with my older sister and cousins. The Phantom Of The Paradise by Brian De Palma became a life long haunt for me, half witnessed whilst too young, not knowing it’s name and living in a pre internet age, I used to tape all sorts of random films on Channel 4 or BBC2 with anything to do with Faust, Phantom of The Opera or the like hopping to catch this one. I taped it randomly when I was about 14 again so I referred to it again and again, enjoying the themes of selling one’s soul for recognition in the music business, but also the music of Paul Williams (linking that to Bugsy Malone, another childhood fave) and the mild horror imagery. The main anti-hero Winslow/The Phantom is a dead ringer for a dark version of Gatchaman. I also used this sample on the Umod track ‘All in My Mind’.

4) Mark Lindsey @ W. Michael Lewis - Lone Wolf's Theme

Another film that has hung around with me my whole life is Shogun’s Assassin. Ultra-violent, no wonder it was amongst the banned videos in the act passed by Parliament in the 80’s. I was too young to watch it then, but it adjoined with all the good fun Kung Fu films I watched growing up, with silly dubbing and creepy 70’s synth music. UK Hip-Hop, J Saul Kane and then Wu-Tang would all bring these vibes back in the 90’s, making the circles of these half remembered things from your youth impossible to ever leave your psyche.

5) Derek B - Get Down

Hip Hop began creeping into the house from the mid 80’s, as my sister entered her teens and having her own stereo, LL Cool J replaced Adam Ant filling the house with music. Derek B seemed to be the first British rapping voice I caught onto, bringing the important realisation that it wasn’t just Americans in on this thing. Another soul lost all too young, I can’t say I ever really dug his work as it was kind of just before what I consider ‘my’ period of classic Hip Hop, as we all have our own ones, but important all the same.

6) Public Enemy - Don't Believe The Hype

Again via the same stream of music, this was in the house on an original tape, which could be borrowed, listened to on a Walkman, and you could LEARN THE WORDS from the inlay card. I enjoyed being among the many white British kids who learned about Louis Farakhan and the like, but it was mainly the Bomb Squad collage of sounds that mostly stay with me in terms of production influence.

7) Cutty Ranks - The Stopper

My sister had the 12” of this on Fashion, and bought in this new element of Ragga. Bob Marley was around the house from my mum, I think the like most 80’s housholds would have Legend. But again, the bass was present and vibrating into my heart pretty much from toddler days. Cutty Ranks bought with him my introduction to sound tapes, radio tapes of lovers rock my sister played over and over again, and the kind of London Yardie look that would dominate my 1990-1992. And yes I was a little white boy obsessed with clicksuits, string vests, bandanas, Balley shoes and ragga rolled jeans. That was my teenage angst just beginning.

8) Hardnoise - Unititled

UK Hip Hop became my first true love. I bought Fear of A Black Planet as PE were a way in for lots of white kids into deeper than pop Hip Hop, but the UK had the mix with Ragga, harder clearer breaks and boy it was FAST! And the scratching! This stuff made me want to DJ, as I sure as hell wasn’t a dancer. I found this out going to local discos and stuff and just being very young, spotty and awkward. DJ’ing provided a way to be doing something else whilst my peers all enjoyed whatever you should enjoy in a party environment.

9) Rebel MC - The Wickedest Sound

So knowing ‘The Stopper’ the ideas of sampling started to make sense listening to Rebel MC productions. I knew him from Street Tough days in my first girlfriend type era, but this stuff just seemed to come out of nowhere. So many samples, such a mangle of bass and bleeps and raga and Hip Hop, AND it was British. It spoke to me as did Hardnoise, but in a way it seemed to moving to something more universal and positive, including a reference to the Acid House parties I read about in The Sun a few years earlier. I bought this 12 at the time and still have it, an absolutely essential piece of music in the crossover from Hip Hop to Hardcore.

10) Krome + Time - This Sound Is For The Underground

I wasn’t a raver in 1992, but I was a DJ. I got my turntables at 14, and saved my pockets money to buy a record a week until I got a job as soon as I could when I was 16. I even used to save money I was given on holiday to buy more records when I got home. ‘This Sound’ had direct reference to Hip Hop/Addis Posse/Hackney Hardcore, all things I had known and loved, but now in this format of re-sampling/arrangement started to really make sense in what I now knew as Jungle. Krome and Time moved with the times up until about 1994 with some great Jungle tracks, but this to me was the anthem of summer 92, along with Jonny L ‘Hurt U So’, everyone that went to Fantazia Donnington Park literally raved and raved about this one. To me it is arrangement perfection, but to them they just enjoyed rushing their tits off to it.

11) Alaide Costa - Catavento

Blue Brazil, as I later discovered compiled by Gilles Peterson, become one side of the soundtrack of my GCSE years. I had found a new group of funky, jazzy friends, which saved me from Indie, as every other white person I grew up with now seemed to like. It seemed to have no connection, whereas Acid Jazz had reference to the funk and soul I grew up with, and as Drum and Bass became more sterile and two step, I went backwards to the rare grooves and even started to check Hip Hop again after many years being lost in the Jungle.

12) Stevie Wonder - Light My Fire

The Portishead years were the other side of 1995/96, the Brazilian stuff the sunny days, but Dummy for those desperately sad days of jealousy or sadness from early relationship lessons. The Andy Smith Essential mix was surely one of my most played tapes, with acquiring each track on it somewhat essential (as the title implied). As I started to look to Hip Hop DJing, with all it’s familiar warmth of sampling old records and the practical skills of cutting/scratching and deck to decking to be learned, digging old records had the dual gifts of great old tunes AND samples, as I was now making music, working towards having my first record out. Of course Stevie has been in my life since early childhood and will always be super special.

13) Federation - Rusty James (Portishead Remix)

More reminiscing of that tape, and now also deep into the Mo’Wax years. This is a more obscure Portishead production which is unusually danceable for them at that time.

14) 4hero Garden OF My Mind

Fabio on Kiss became a bit of a lifeline for keeping abreast of this Jazz infused reincarnation of DnB. I had always loved Reinforced since buying in 1992, Enforcers 1 being my first record purchased when I got my decks on my 14th birthday. Marc and Dego were leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else at this time, doubtlessly pushing Goldie and Roni and Alex Reece to get their major signings and using vocalists and musicians, but it all started here really.

15) Tek 9 - We're Gettin' Down

This record showed me you could have a Hip Hop tune on a Jungle record. And why not? I remember playing this loudly out of my bedroom and my parents noticing my taste was maturing from 165bpm breaks back down to my roots, and the Jazz and Soul and Funk were back in the room. Thank you Dego, for so many things, but this in particular.

16) Cold Mission - Drug Store Rude Bwoy (Nu-Era Remix)

Well it’s the birth of the next phase of my musical story isn’t it? Nuff said.

17) Static Imprints - Untitled Saturday

The first track I made that got pressed and released on vinyl. An amazing feeling at 17.

18) Hanna - Ghost

And with all these years of influence, I still never wanted my House or Techno to be straight. I wanted it to have soul, be bittersweet, have synthesis, have a groove but most importantly whatever that thing was that gave me goosebumbs or shut my eyes and feel mock pain as the music moved me so much.

This is the music I constantly crave finding to this day.

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Dominic Stanton
Title: DD043
Style: Soul, Jazz, Broken Beat
Time: 87 minutes
Date: 2017-11-26

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome producer, DJ and artist Dominic Stanton to the Dusk Dubs family.

As a producer, Dominic has been responsible for some of the most forward-thinking music under his various guises and pseudonyms, over numerous musical movements, be it..... Dom-Unique, Domu, Sonar's Ghost, The Ghosts, Umod, Zoltar, Bakura, Blue Monkeys, Kudu, Legends Of The Underground, Realside, Rima, Sonar Circle, Static Imprints,and Yotoko.... So, it's a real pleasure to have Dominic on board, giving us an insight into his musical DNA.

Having been DJ'ing for around 11 years from the age of 14, Dominic Stanton's musical journey began with UK Hip-Hop, which led to lessons in Jungle, Detroit, Brazilian, Jazz, Funk, Soul….the list go on, with a basic premise of anything that is soulful is in the bag. As a producer, Sonar Circle was the first moniker used in the realm of Drum and Bass, alongside Static Imprints on the legendary Reinforced Records label around 1996.

Domu was created from the ashes of the experimentation that can be heard on their 1999 album "Radius"…. the first L.P from Sonar Circle, which could now fuse all these elements far more easily than was possible within the restrictions of the Drum and Bass mainframe.

He released his first ‘Domu’ production in 1999 for Dego's 2000 Black label and began using that as his primary alias throughout the early 2000s. Since then highlights have come in the form of the Rima L.P on JCR (with Volcov) and remixes of Cinematic Orchestra, Michelle Lawson, 4hero, King Britt and Jazzanova. Domu has also notched up releases for the Archive and Skindeep imprints; most notably, the full-length ‘Up and Down’ came out on Archive in 2001, in addition, he has also worked with Mark de Clive-Lowe and Paul Dolby (Seiji) as Kudu.

**Tracklisting **

1) Otis Reading - Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay

Having parents who were teens in the Sixties meant there was lots of Soul and Motown in the house. They had some LP’s but mostly collated favourites on tapes played and rotated on long car journeys to Wales or wherever. I associate this bassline, along with Percy Sledge ‘When A Man Loves A Woman’ playing loudly on a Sunday morning, the bass creeping up the wall to wake me up. This is the music that creeps into your soul, and this song steeped in all the marvel and sadness of Otis’ life is in itself the most bittersweet of optimism…or is it just acceptance of what life really is? A collection of random events you just have to roll with.

2) Ian Dury - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick

As my sister and I were born in the 70’s, Punk definitely passed my parents by, as they entered babies/work/mortgage mode, much as my wife and I will remember from 2010 onwards. Dad had this LP though, and our generation’s version of sitting round the piano would be assembling round the stereo system taking in all the info from a sleeve whilst hearing the LP. Retrospectively Ian Dury too is a life and talent you can study the highs and lows, but to me then it was just good bawdy cockney fun, good memories.

3) Paul Williams - Phantoms Theme

Exposure to films, especially great 70’s and 80’s horror came young whilst hanging about with my older sister and cousins. The Phantom Of The Paradise by Brian De Palma became a life long haunt for me, half witnessed whilst too young, not knowing it’s name and living in a pre internet age, I used to tape all sorts of random films on Channel 4 or BBC2 with anything to do with Faust, Phantom of The Opera or the like hopping to catch this one. I taped it randomly when I was about 14 again so I referred to it again and again, enjoying the themes of selling one’s soul for recognition in the music business, but also the music of Paul Williams (linking that to Bugsy Malone, another childhood fave) and the mild horror imagery. The main anti-hero Winslow/The Phantom is a dead ringer for a dark version of Gatchaman. I also used this sample on the Umod track ‘All in My Mind’.

4) Mark Lindsey @ W. Michael Lewis - Lone Wolf's Theme

Another film that has hung around with me my whole life is Shogun’s Assassin. Ultra-violent, no wonder it was amongst the banned videos in the act passed by Parliament in the 80’s. I was too young to watch it then, but it adjoined with all the good fun Kung Fu films I watched growing up, with silly dubbing and creepy 70’s synth music. UK Hip-Hop, J Saul Kane and then Wu-Tang would all bring these vibes back in the 90’s, making the circles of these half remembered things from your youth impossible to ever leave your psyche.

5) Derek B - Get Down

Hip Hop began creeping into the house from the mid 80’s, as my sister entered her teens and having her own stereo, LL Cool J replaced Adam Ant filling the house with music. Derek B seemed to be the first British rapping voice I caught onto, bringing the important realisation that it wasn’t just Americans in on this thing. Another soul lost all too young, I can’t say I ever really dug his work as it was kind of just before what I consider ‘my’ period of classic Hip Hop, as we all have our own ones, but important all the same.

6) Public Enemy - Don't Believe The Hype

Again via the same stream of music, this was in the house on an original tape, which could be borrowed, listened to on a Walkman, and you could LEARN THE WORDS from the inlay card. I enjoyed being among the many white British kids who learned about Louis Farakhan and the like, but it was mainly the Bomb Squad collage of sounds that mostly stay with me in terms of production influence.

7) Cutty Ranks - The Stopper

My sister had the 12” of this on Fashion, and bought in this new element of Ragga. Bob Marley was around the house from my mum, I think the like most 80’s housholds would have Legend. But again, the bass was present and vibrating into my heart pretty much from toddler days. Cutty Ranks bought with him my introduction to sound tapes, radio tapes of lovers rock my sister played over and over again, and the kind of London Yardie look that would dominate my 1990-1992. And yes I was a little white boy obsessed with clicksuits, string vests, bandanas, Balley shoes and ragga rolled jeans. That was my teenage angst just beginning.

8) Hardnoise - Unititled

UK Hip Hop became my first true love. I bought Fear of A Black Planet as PE were a way in for lots of white kids into deeper than pop Hip Hop, but the UK had the mix with Ragga, harder clearer breaks and boy it was FAST! And the scratching! This stuff made me want to DJ, as I sure as hell wasn’t a dancer. I found this out going to local discos and stuff and just being very young, spotty and awkward. DJ’ing provided a way to be doing something else whilst my peers all enjoyed whatever you should enjoy in a party environment.

9) Rebel MC - The Wickedest Sound

So knowing ‘The Stopper’ the ideas of sampling started to make sense listening to Rebel MC productions. I knew him from Street Tough days in my first girlfriend type era, but this stuff just seemed to come out of nowhere. So many samples, such a mangle of bass and bleeps and raga and Hip Hop, AND it was British. It spoke to me as did Hardnoise, but in a way it seemed to moving to something more universal and positive, including a reference to the Acid House parties I read about in The Sun a few years earlier. I bought this 12 at the time and still have it, an absolutely essential piece of music in the crossover from Hip Hop to Hardcore.

10) Krome + Time - This Sound Is For The Underground

I wasn’t a raver in 1992, but I was a DJ. I got my turntables at 14, and saved my pockets money to buy a record a week until I got a job as soon as I could when I was 16. I even used to save money I was given on holiday to buy more records when I got home. ‘This Sound’ had direct reference to Hip Hop/Addis Posse/Hackney Hardcore, all things I had known and loved, but now in this format of re-sampling/arrangement started to really make sense in what I now knew as Jungle. Krome and Time moved with the times up until about 1994 with some great Jungle tracks, but this to me was the anthem of summer 92, along with Jonny L ‘Hurt U So’, everyone that went to Fantazia Donnington Park literally raved and raved about this one. To me it is arrangement perfection, but to them they just enjoyed rushing their tits off to it.

11) Alaide Costa - Catavento

Blue Brazil, as I later discovered compiled by Gilles Peterson, become one side of the soundtrack of my GCSE years. I had found a new group of funky, jazzy friends, which saved me from Indie, as every other white person I grew up with now seemed to like. It seemed to have no connection, whereas Acid Jazz had reference to the funk and soul I grew up with, and as Drum and Bass became more sterile and two step, I went backwards to the rare grooves and even started to check Hip Hop again after many years being lost in the Jungle.

12) Stevie Wonder - Light My Fire

The Portishead years were the other side of 1995/96, the Brazilian stuff the sunny days, but Dummy for those desperately sad days of jealousy or sadness from early relationship lessons. The Andy Smith Essential mix was surely one of my most played tapes, with acquiring each track on it somewhat essential (as the title implied). As I started to look to Hip Hop DJing, with all it’s familiar warmth of sampling old records and the practical skills of cutting/scratching and deck to decking to be learned, digging old records had the dual gifts of great old tunes AND samples, as I was now making music, working towards having my first record out. Of course Stevie has been in my life since early childhood and will always be super special.

13) Federation - Rusty James (Portishead Remix)

More reminiscing of that tape, and now also deep into the Mo’Wax years. This is a more obscure Portishead production which is unusually danceable for them at that time.

14) 4hero Garden OF My Mind

Fabio on Kiss became a bit of a lifeline for keeping abreast of this Jazz infused reincarnation of DnB. I had always loved Reinforced since buying in 1992, Enforcers 1 being my first record purchased when I got my decks on my 14th birthday. Marc and Dego were leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else at this time, doubtlessly pushing Goldie and Roni and Alex Reece to get their major signings and using vocalists and musicians, but it all started here really.

15) Tek 9 - We're Gettin' Down

This record showed me you could have a Hip Hop tune on a Jungle record. And why not?

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Adam Scrimshire
Title: DD042
Style: Soul, Jazz, House
Time: 82 minutes
Date: 2017-11-19

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Songwriter, Producer, DJ and one of the men behind the superb record labels Wah Wah 45s and Albert's Favourites.... Scrimshire to the Dusk Dubs family.

"Adam Scrimshire was 14 when he started making music on an Amiga 500
with a Yamaha Tone Generator and an 8-Bit Sampler. Surrounded by his family’s love for vinyl and dancing he was, perhaps surprisingly, the only one to decide he wanted to make the stuff.

Wah Wah 45s signed Scrimshire in 2006. A perfect fit with music steeped in jazz, soul and funk, with a nod to contemporary sounds, and strong in popular song writing sensibilities, resulting in 3 albums....Along Came the Devil One Night, The Hollow and Bight.

A seasoned vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Adam Scrimshire is also a fine DJ. His open musical tastes, sublime skills and penchant for sultry soul music make him a natural.

As an extension of his DJing, Adam has produced two volumes of edits lending his talent to Merry Clayton, Soul II Soul, Margie Joseph, John Martyn, Stevie Wonder and many more: That’s over 40 tracks and 8 vinyl releases.

Engineer and Mixer

Since the release of Bight, Adam has focused on more projects away from “Scrimshire”. Making time to develop as a studio and mix engineer, he has taken on projects with Bastien Keb, Daudi Matsiko, Leisure, Cathy Tornbohm, Jack Watts and more.

He has also become the regular mastering engineer for a number of artists and labels.

In 2011 Adam became an owner and director at Wah Wah 45s and Wah Wah 45s Publishing. Working alongside Dom Servini he has signed and delivered huge albums from artists including The Gene Dudley Group, The Milk, Dele Sosimi, and Paper Tiger.

As an artist himself he has been able to work hard on delivering ever more artist friendly systems and approaches at the label and takes great pride in focusing on the details of artist development.

In late 2015 he fulfilled a lifelong dream of founding his own label Albert’s Favourites, named after Adam’s grandad. With co-founders Dave Koor and Jonny Drop, Adam has overseen all releases including the exceptional debut from Hector Plimmer, Sunshine.

Albert’s Favourites is set to release a new collaborative project with Adam’s long-time musical partner Dave Koor. Modified Man has already put out a six-track EP, remixes for Dele Sosimi, Amp Fiddler, Makadem among others, and delivered a massive three-hour live and DJ mix for Boiler Room".

Adam provides us with an emotional collection, comprised of songs from some of his favourite and worst moments in life.

Songs of comfort, love and inspiration.

**Tracklisting**

1) Terry Callier - What Colour Is Love

It’s possible my brother first introduced me to Terry Callier properly, I was aware but certainly one of the first times I got to know him properly, Terry that is, not my bro, was seeing him play an acoustic show at Union Chapel in London, which was Matt’s idea. Pure magic. But here’s the thing, Terry was the subject of the first decent conversation I had with the woman who is now my wife and Terry Callier live at Shepherds Bush Empire was the first gig we went to, which turned out to be our first date, though I don’t think either of us thought it was. So Terry is a very important man in our home.

2) Rustin Man - Sand River

When me and my wife met, we were working at the same company in Putney. I also met an amazing, funny, fascinating bloke named Dougal there. And apart from some incredible trolling of “african prince” scammers, he had stunning music taste, I gradually discovered over pints in the evenings. We chatted a lot about The Roots, which is how I discovered. But he introduced me to this Rustin Man album which features Beth Gibbons of Portishead fame. This has become one of my all time favourite albums. It is MADE for the Autumn in particular. It’s a warm bath or a cosy fire for the ears. Heavenly writing and production. This song absolutely floors me over and over.

3) Mahavishnu Orchestra - You Know, You Know

This song is so important in so many ways. It’s a later discovery for me, maybe in the last 6 or so years. Obviously there is the famous sample Massive Attack grabbed for use on Blue Lines, which is a very important album to me, coming at a time when I was beginning to immerse myself in production. Unfinished Sympathy was massive for a lot of people my age I guess. But years later as I was undergoing a bit of a change of heart and mind with music, I really began to understand Mahavishnu and a lot more free music/jazz with it.

Part of that understanding came through hours and hours of prolonged exposure to it while I was living with my Albert’s Favourites and Modified Man partner Dave Koor. I’d begun listening to more Mahavishnu anyway, but we really dug into that and a lot more in that vein as a part of our journey into discovering different approaches to composing and producing. This remains one of the most powerful quiet songs you’ll ever hear though.

4) Stevie Wonder - You’ve Got It Bad Girl

My mum and dad both loved Stevie Wonder, so there was a lot of him in the house growing up. Musiquarium got played A LOT. Songs In The Key too. As I got to my late teens I dug more deeply into the early 70s albums Innervisions and Talking Book in particular. Golden Lady blew my mind, but this remained the heart wrencher for me. The Moog bass, the Rhodes, those Arp/Moog leads and flutes (not sure which synth they are, sorry). This is still probably, noticeably, a blueprint record for my music. I could pick 10 Steve songs for this, but I will probably always head to this if I have to pick one.

5) Hector Plimmer - Sunshine

A release I was involved in here. This is the sort of music I dream of releasing. These are the records you get in to running record labels for. It captures so much of what I care about, but gave me goosebumps first time I heard it.

We’d been over at Jonny Drop’s house discussing tracks that were potentials for Hector’s album and he mentioned he had some other bits he hadn’t sent, he pulled this up on his computer and played it, saying it still needed work. It wasn’t specific if it was for this project or not and I didn’t want to push but I wanted it immediately. Even off the demo. When it finally came through I was just staggered by how beautiful it is. More people need to hear this.

6) The Milk - Darling What’s Wrong

Another one from my own label here. This one from Wah Wah 45s. This is pretty much my favourite track off The Milk’s 2nd album Favourite Worry. I’m so proud to have been involved in getting this album out. Proper modern soul music. An incredible vocal reminiscent of Ron Isley or Darondo, rolling beats and bass and real emotion.

We all worked so hard to get this record out and it’s an important moment I think in the label’s history but for everyone personally too. So much went on throughout the process of getting this to the public.

7) Prince - Money Don’t Matter 2 Night

The Diamonds and Pearls album was colossal when I was in my early teens. At school I did a lot of dance - contemporary, jazz, ballet - and my teachers and most of the main hardcore dance/performing arts students were equally mad about Prince. It’s totally where I discovered him. We did a lot of ballet to Sign Of The Times. But when this album came along, it was barely off my hi-fi.

But this track in particular (although I’d easily have picked Diamonds & Pearls itself) is a bit of an indicator of longer term tastes, including tracks later on in this mix. I know this is also a huge tune for Dom Servini. One of those important tracks where we 100% match up on tastes.

8) Steely Dan - Deacon Blues

My Dad loved Steely Dan and Donald Fagen. I’ll be honest, I didn’t get it when I was a kid. Although, something about The Nightly seeped into my consciousness.

Whatever happened, I love Steely Dan these days and Aja has been an important part of my adult life. I’m lucky enough to not feel like too much of a loser these days, thanks in part to marrying an incredible woman and being eternally grateful and happy for that. If I WERE more of a loser, this would be my theme and I definitely could die listening to this and drinking immense amounts of whisky.

9) Rae & Christian - All I Ask

My brother is definitely responsible for letting me know about Rae & Christian. I wasn’t massively involved in contemporary soul and jazz music when this came out. But he was up in Nottingham at uni and getting to know a few interesting musical people up there.

It totally makes sense that we’d be into this music when you consider the music we heard as kids, Stevie, Incognito, Jamiroquai, Herbie Hancock, Freeze… Northern Sulphuric Soul is a hugely important UK soul moment in my opinion and I fell in love with this record. Another one that really impacted how I made music. I’m always grateful for this intro from my bro.

10) Kai Alce - Simbaz Groove

Davey Koor to blame for this one again. In amongst all the free jazz we were ploughing through in the few months we lived together, this was another side of our listening.

It’s a bit of a blueprint for early Modified Man. If you listen to Modification 1 you can totally hear where we came from. That and for me, the really important brit funk records I was getting played loads of when I was about 3 or 4 years old. This still remains a reference when we’re over complicating things in the studio. Get back to playing music together, stood at a keyboard each, trying to create a vibe instead of cutting and pasting.

11) Modified man - Thorns

So I think it makes sense to include some Modified Man here. Not a direct correlation from Kai Alce, but I believe this captures a lot of what we’re about and I’m immensely proud to have made this track with Dave. We’d been doing a lot of remixes and wanted to make some noise and noises instead. I remember we weren’t getting very far that day and Dave went downstairs to make some tea. While he was gone I started playing around with an arpeggio on his new Prophet synth.

I recorded the 3/4 time signature take of evolving arpeggio and filter playing over about 5 mins, when he came back up we were feeling suitably inspired and as the sun went down over the insane view of London he has from up on the hill in Thornton Heath, we finished this track off, grinning in wonder.

12) Ahmad Jamal Trio - Poinciana

This is taking it back home really. I love Ahmad Jamal. I love trios. As far as Jazz goes I’d say the trio format is my favourite. Albums like the Jazz Hip Trio are undoubtedly in my top 10 favourite albums. But this one is pure sentimentality. I remember sitting around the dinner table on Saturday nights, with my Mum, Dad, Brother, Nan and Gramp (Albert of Albert’s Favourites fame) and listening to this. And I remember specifically that my mum said she loved it so because of that final floor tom hit at the end of the drum phrase. It is a lovely hit, there’s no denying.

13) Cannonball Adderley Sextet - Planet Earth

I’m ashamed to say I discovered Yussef Lateef through this track and that was only 4 years ago. The other track by Lateef on this album is called Syn-anthesia and it was hard not to select that, but this is the one. Beautiful. In another life, I hope I’m making music like this.

14) Beck - Nitemare Hippy Girl

Little departure here. Beck changed my life. When I first got given a cassette of the Mellow Gold album, it freaked me out so much, a combination of the cover and the lyrics on the inside of the insert, so much so that I didn’t listen to it for months.

When I did eventually take the plunge I couldn’t believe my ears. It was like a portal to another dimension for me at the time. This and New Forms by Roni Size pretty much soundtracked my move to London. Along with a mate of mine at the time we basically drank and smoked too much, giggled endlessly at this record and made bizarre avant garde, electro, noise, indie, hip-hop nonsense on a mini-disc player and my Amiga 1200. I realised there probably weren’t as many rules in music making as I thought there were.

15) Bjork - Unison

And the other person responsible for that is Bjork. I love her. After my wife and my mum she is probably the most important woman in my life.

Her endless pursuit of new, her constant drive forwards, it’s a rock in the world of music that I have clung too. There were moments in Post that completely rewired how my brain thinks about music. She never fails to surprise and leave me in awe. I’d say between her and Beck I’ve been ruined. It’s really difficult to be as diverse and weird as they’ve both been and make it work, but I keep trying. I mean, I’m nowhere close to them, I’m not suggesting that. But they’ve set the bar for me.

Bjork got me through many things. Vespertine was one that really saw me through a dark time, so I often come back to it. But I could do this entire mix from Bjork tracks. Mutual Core is at the very top of the list. But Unison just captures the epic, the warmth and the hope that she can create a cocoon around you with.

16) Margie Joseph - Let’s Stay Together

Well, this was the first dance at my wedding. Maybe I don’t need to say much more. But this, for me, is the definitive version. Margie’s ability to capture emotion in her performance is second to none, and if you haven’t heard her before, begin putting that right immediately.

There was a point I was playing this twice a night in DJ sets. It’s heaven.]]>
Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Adam Scrimshire
Title: DD042
Style: Soul, Jazz, House
Time: 82 minutes
Date: 2017-11-19

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Songwriter, Producer, DJ and one of the men behind the superb record labels Wah Wah 45s and Albert's Favourites.... Scrimshire to the Dusk Dubs family.

"Adam Scrimshire was 14 when he started making music on an Amiga 500
with a Yamaha Tone Generator and an 8-Bit Sampler. Surrounded by his family’s love for vinyl and dancing he was, perhaps surprisingly, the only one to decide he wanted to make the stuff.

Wah Wah 45s signed Scrimshire in 2006. A perfect fit with music steeped in jazz, soul and funk, with a nod to contemporary sounds, and strong in popular song writing sensibilities, resulting in 3 albums....Along Came the Devil One Night, The Hollow and Bight.

A seasoned vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Adam Scrimshire is also a fine DJ. His open musical tastes, sublime skills and penchant for sultry soul music make him a natural.

As an extension of his DJing, Adam has produced two volumes of edits lending his talent to Merry Clayton, Soul II Soul, Margie Joseph, John Martyn, Stevie Wonder and many more: That’s over 40 tracks and 8 vinyl releases.

Engineer and Mixer

Since the release of Bight, Adam has focused on more projects away from “Scrimshire”. Making time to develop as a studio and mix engineer, he has taken on projects with Bastien Keb, Daudi Matsiko, Leisure, Cathy Tornbohm, Jack Watts and more.

He has also become the regular mastering engineer for a number of artists and labels.

In 2011 Adam became an owner and director at Wah Wah 45s and Wah Wah 45s Publishing. Working alongside Dom Servini he has signed and delivered huge albums from artists including The Gene Dudley Group, The Milk, Dele Sosimi, and Paper Tiger.

As an artist himself he has been able to work hard on delivering ever more artist friendly systems and approaches at the label and takes great pride in focusing on the details of artist development.

In late 2015 he fulfilled a lifelong dream of founding his own label Albert’s Favourites, named after Adam’s grandad. With co-founders Dave Koor and Jonny Drop, Adam has overseen all releases including the exceptional debut from Hector Plimmer, Sunshine.

Albert’s Favourites is set to release a new collaborative project with Adam’s long-time musical partner Dave Koor. Modified Man has already put out a six-track EP, remixes for Dele Sosimi, Amp Fiddler, Makadem among others, and delivered a massive three-hour live and DJ mix for Boiler Room".

Adam provides us with an emotional collection, comprised of songs from some of his favourite and worst moments in life.

Songs of comfort, love and inspiration.

**Tracklisting**

1) Terry Callier - What Colour Is Love

It’s possible my brother first introduced me to Terry Callier properly, I was aware but certainly one of the first times I got to know him properly, Terry that is, not my bro, was seeing him play an acoustic show at Union Chapel in London, which was Matt’s idea. Pure magic. But here’s the thing, Terry was the subject of the first decent conversation I had with the woman who is now my wife and Terry Callier live at Shepherds Bush Empire was the first gig we went to, which turned out to be our first date, though I don’t think either of us thought it was. So Terry is a very important man in our home.

2) Rustin Man - Sand River

When me and my wife met, we were working at the same company in Putney. I also met an amazing, funny, fascinating bloke named Dougal there. And apart from some incredible trolling of “african prince” scammers, he had stunning music taste, I gradually discovered over pints in the evenings. We chatted a lot about The Roots, which is how I discovered. But he introduced me to this Rustin Man album which features Beth Gibbons of Portishead fame. This has become one of my all time favourite albums. It is MADE for the Autumn in particular. It’s a warm bath or a cosy fire for the ears. Heavenly writing and production. This song absolutely floors me over and over.

3) Mahavishnu Orchestra - You Know, You Know

This song is so important in so many ways. It’s a later discovery for me, maybe in the last 6 or so years. Obviously there is the famous sample Massive Attack grabbed for use on Blue Lines, which is a very important album to me, coming at a time when I was beginning to immerse myself in production. Unfinished Sympathy was massive for a lot of people my age I guess. But years later as I was undergoing a bit of a change of heart and mind with music, I really began to understand Mahavishnu and a lot more free music/jazz with it.

Part of that understanding came through hours and hours of prolonged exposure to it while I was living with my Albert’s Favourites and Modified Man partner Dave Koor. I’d begun listening to more Mahavishnu anyway, but we really dug into that and a lot more in that vein as a part of our journey into discovering different approaches to composing and producing. This remains one of the most powerful quiet songs you’ll ever hear though.

4) Stevie Wonder - You’ve Got It Bad Girl

My mum and dad both loved Stevie Wonder, so there was a lot of him in the house growing up. Musiquarium got played A LOT. Songs In The Key too. As I got to my late teens I dug more deeply into the early 70s albums Innervisions and Talking Book in particular. Golden Lady blew my mind, but this remained the heart wrencher for me. The Moog bass, the Rhodes, those Arp/Moog leads and flutes (not sure which synth they are, sorry). This is still probably, noticeably, a blueprint record for my music. I could pick 10 Steve songs for this, but I will probably always head to this if I have to pick one.

5) Hector Plimmer - Sunshine

A release I was involved in here. This is the sort of music I dream of releasing. These are the records you get in to running record labels for. It captures so much of what I care about, but gave me goosebumps first time I heard it.

We’d been over at Jonny Drop’s house discussing tracks that were potentials for Hector’s album and he mentioned he had some other bits he hadn’t sent, he pulled this up on his computer and played it, saying it still needed work. It wasn’t specific if it was for this project or not and I didn’t want to push but I wanted it immediately. Even off the demo. When it finally came through I was just staggered by how beautiful it is. More people need to hear this.

6) The Milk - Darling What’s Wrong

Another one from my own label here. This one from Wah Wah 45s. This is pretty much my favourite track off The Milk’s 2nd album Favourite Worry. I’m so proud to have been involved in getting this album out. Proper modern soul music. An incredible vocal reminiscent of Ron Isley or Darondo, rolling beats and bass and real emotion.

We all worked so hard to get this record out and it’s an important moment I think in the label’s history but for everyone personally too. So much went on throughout the process of getting this to the public.

7) Prince - Money Don’t Matter 2 Night

The Diamonds and Pearls album was colossal when I was in my early teens. At school I did a lot of dance - contemporary, jazz, ballet - and my teachers and most of the main hardcore dance/performing arts students were equally mad about Prince. It’s totally where I discovered him. We did a lot of ballet to Sign Of The Times. But when this album came along, it was barely off my hi-fi.

But this track in particular (although I’d easily have picked Diamonds & Pearls itself) is a bit of an indicator of longer term tastes, including tracks later on in this mix. I know this is also a huge tune for Dom Servini. One of those important tracks where we 100% match up on tastes.

8) Steely Dan - Deacon Blues

My Dad loved Steely Dan and Donald Fagen. I’ll be honest, I didn’t get it when I was a kid. Although, something about The Nightly seeped into my consciousness.

Whatever happened, I love Steely Dan these days and Aja has been an important part of my adult life. I’m lucky enough to not feel like too much of a loser these days, thanks in part to marrying an incredible woman and being eternally grateful and happy for that. If I WERE more of a loser, this would be my theme and I definitely could die listening to this and drinking immense amounts of whisky.

9) Rae & Christian - All I Ask

My brother is definitely responsible for letting me know about Rae & Christian. I wasn’t massively involved in contemporary soul and jazz music when this came out. But he was up in Nottingham at uni and getting to know a few interesting musical people up there.

It totally makes sense that we’d be into this music when you consider the music we heard as kids, Stevie, Incognito, Jamiroquai, Herbie Hancock, Freeze… Northern Sulphuric Soul is a hugely important UK soul moment in my opinion and I fell in love with this record. Another one that really impacted how I made music. I’m always grateful for this intro from my bro.

10) Kai Alce - Simbaz Groove

Davey Koor to blame for this one again. In amongst all the free jazz we were ploughing through in the few months we lived together, this was another side of our listening.

It’s a bit of a blueprint for early Modified Man. If you listen to Modification 1 you can totally hear where we came from. That and for me, the really important brit funk records I was getting played loads of when I was about 3 or 4 years old. This still remains a reference when we’re over complicating things in the studio.

**Tracklisting**

1) The Aloof - Never Get Out of the Boat (Gosh Mix)

This track reminds me of going to Flying Records Parties in 1990-91 A stone cold classic... love it and it still holds it's own.

2) Steve Miller Band – Fly like an Eagle

This one always a winner when we used to go up 'The old Man's' Ian's house was a place we could hang out get pissed on his Vodka and listen to his record collection.. He was a Jazz drummer and played in the Sex-clip joints in the 50's.. I learnt a lot about music from from him.. This ones for you Ian. And the lyrics are just about right Man.

3) Eric B. & Rakim - Eric B. Is President

I remember truly being (thinking I was) a BeBoy Graff, Breaking, Popping, Mike Allen on Capital radio, Electro Albums…. Those days!! Haha.. Anyways this is one I remember learning all the lyrics for and would RAP it to my mate Wayne Baileys 'Beat Boxing'. I was ready to battle I promise..!!!

4) Frances Ashman – Pandora

This one features in Gary Oldman’s film 'Nil by Mouth' as you probably know portrays the in's and outs of a sick and twisted family system set in South London.. This track is so melancholic and haunting, I've always loved it and still gives me goose bumps, even now whilst listening…

5) Ryhe – The Fall (Maurice Fulton remix)

It's a great great edit…Funky Disco vibes…. I just really like it is all.

6) First Choice – Let no Man put us under (Knuckles)

An all-time classic. I had a copy of the original 12” which had the Acapella on the b-side. I miss that record ha! It got taken by a scorned ex-girlfriend of a pal.. He owed her £100 and she took about 100 of his records including a few of mine.. Believe me I've thought a few times of hunting her down over the last 20 years!!!!

7) Conroy Smith – Dangerous

I can't say I grew up in Aylesbury, I think I'm only just starting to do that now! Aylesbury is Multi Cultural town and some of the Jamaican families that came over in the 50's brought with them Reggae and Blues parties. This got plenty of 'Rewind!!!!' at the blues in the basement at the Pinnocks house on the Bicester road. More time in the dance.

8) St Etienne – Only love can break your heart ( A mix of two halves)

Need I say more?

9) Primal Scream – Higher than the Sun

A rock band that made the Rock-Dance cross over actually work. The album came out when the Club culture I was into was in it's full swing. A time of total Hedonism for me. I remember listening to this once and being taken somewhere 'Higher than the Sun'. It may have something to do with the type of Cigarettes I was smoking. Screamadelica plus the Summer of 1991 equalled a few more messy years ahead. No Regrets!

10) Bosq - Tumbalá feat. Tempo Alomar (Auntie Flo Remix)

This is a current favourite of mine.... I heard it for the first time at Alfresco Festival this year.. It was part of Amp + Deck's set on the 'We Are The Sunset' stage.. Auntie Flo making his magic here man... Love it...

11) Charlie Rich – The most beautiful Girl.

This one goes out to my Dad… R.I.P.

12) Steely Dan – Black Cow

I just wanted to end on a mellow tip..

Well there's a few tunes that have shaped, bring memories, I love… Its hard to select a few.. I've enjoyed putting this together thanks for asking me, I hope I've done Dusk Dubs Justice, Enjoy.]]>

It's a great great edit…Funky Disco vibes…. I just really like it is all.

6) First Choice – Let no Man put us under (Knuckles)

An all-time classic. I had a copy of the original 12” which had the Acapella on the b-side. I miss that record ha! It got taken by a scorned ex-girlfriend of a pal.. He owed her £100 and she took about 100 of his records including a few of mine.. Believe me I've thought a few times of hunting her down over the last 20 years!!!!

7) Conroy Smith – Dangerous

I can't say I grew up in Aylesbury, I think I'm only just starting to do that now! Aylesbury is Multi Cultural town and some of the Jamaican families that came over in the 50's brought with them Reggae and Blues parties. This got plenty of 'Rewind!!!!' at the blues in the basement at the Pinnocks house on the Bicester road. More time in the dance.

8) St Etienne – Only love can break your heart ( A mix of two halves)

Need I say more?

9) Primal Scream – Higher than the Sun

A rock band that made the Rock-Dance cross over actually work. The album came out when the Club culture I was into was in it's full swing. A time of total Hedonism for me. I remember listening to this once and being taken somewhere 'Higher than the Sun'. It may have something to do with the type of Cigarettes I was smoking. Screamadelica plus the Summer of 1991 equalled a few more messy years ahead. No Regrets!

10) Bosq - Tumbalá feat. Tempo Alomar (Auntie Flo Remix)

This is a current favourite of mine.... I heard it for the first time at Alfresco Festival this year.. It was part of Amp + Deck's set on the 'We Are The Sunset' stage.. Auntie Flo making his magic here man... Love it...

11) Charlie Rich – The most beautiful Girl.

This one goes out to my Dad… R.I.P.

12) Steely Dan – Black Cow

I just wanted to end on a mellow tip..

Well there's a few tunes that have shaped, bring memories, I love… Its hard to select a few.. I've enjoyed putting this together thanks for asking me, I hope I've done Dusk Dubs Justice, Enjoy.]]> 1627210 no no Sun, 12 Nov 2017 10:19:39 +0100 2017-11-12T10:19:39+01:00 1:04:05 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dub-explorations-032/

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Steve Proctor
Title: DD0440
Style: Soul, Rock, Funk
Time: 120 minutes
Date: 2017-11-05

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we welcome Balearic and Acid House pioneer, DJ and Remixer Steven Proctor to the Dusk Dubs family....

"When I was first invited to contribute to this excellent series I was both humbled and somewhat daunted. Humbled to be asked to share my musical history with others, and daunted at the task of trying to fit 46 years of that history into 2 hours.

Throughout this I have been guided by something the Dusk Dubs guys had told me the first time they asked me. They told me that they wanted me to share the music which had contributed to my ‘Music DNA’. The music which had excited me and had been significant to me through the years.

I could easily have picked out two hours of super cool tracks from the past 46 years (and before), and written twee little paragraphs about each one to make myself look cool but, that’s not me. So I had to decide a couple of things.

1) On the basis that I couldn’t cram everything in, I decided to follow Dusk Dubs words, and so I have limited my selection to the first 6 years of my musical evolution (1971-76), as those years really were the beginning of who I am now.

2) Also, following their guidance, I have selected some tracks by certain artists which aren’t necessarily my favourites, but which were the start of my being ‘into’ those artists. I do this because it’s those tracks which changed my Musical DNA, which then led me into becoming fully immersed in their music over a long period of time.

To be honest, as I’ve been going through everything I realise that I could very easily do a number of these, focusing on specific styles and genres. In fact, doing this has inspired me to look into ways in which I can share all of my musical influences as time goes on.

So, before I get into the tracks themselves, I would just like to thank the Dusk Dubs crew for their patience and kindness for me over this past year or more. I am very grateful to be invited to share some of my history and passion with other folk whom I know to be open minded and passionate about music. I have to say in advance, that some of the tracks have great stories, and some of the tracks are just great to me.

I sincerely hope that you all enjoy my contribution."

Steve.

**Tracklisting**

1) Creedence Clearwater Revival - ‘Heard It Through The Grapevine’

This track appears on an album called ‘Cosmo’s Factory’ which was released in 1970, and the album is the VERY first record I ever bought. Without going into detail, it is safe to say that I had a very mixed up childhood, which involved me being moved between Liverpool and Canada 4 times by the time I was 11 years old, and which saw me back in Liverpool in 1971.

The album, and this track in particular, was my Dad’s favourite at the time, and to be honest it was many years later that I discovered that Marvin Gaye had written and originally recorded it. I can say with absolute certainty that I get ALL of my musical passion and ‘feel’ from my Dad, and I am eternally grateful to him for that. Sadly, when I left Canada for the last time in 1971, I didn’t realise that I would never see him again. But I did know that I missed him terribly, which is why I bought the album to remind me of him. And this track has stayed with me as the first time that I ever associated emotions with music.

2) Chicory Tip - ‘Son Of My Father’

This was the VERY first single I ever bought. I can’t tell you where I first heard it as it has just ‘been’ in my musical memory forever. What I CAN tell you is that it was the sound of THAT Moog which totally changed my Musical Psyche forever. At the age of 13 in 1972 I had NEVER heard the word ‘Synthesiser’ before, but I knew that I LOVED that sound. It was many years later when I realised that it was written and originally released by the master himself, Giorgio Moroder. What is even more incredible is that the Moog sound on this version is even better than his original (well I think so anyway). Although I didn’t realise it at the time, this was also the beginning of my liking of a good ‘Pop’ tune. I bought the follow up ‘Good Grief Christina’ but to be honest, I’d already moved on.

3) John Kongos - ‘Tokoloshe Man’

The copy I own of this was released on a label called ‘FLY’ which I had come to know as the label for Tyrannosaurus Rex, and T-Rex (more of them later). Once again, I have no idea how I first heard this but I have always loved it. I also bought the follow up ‘He’s Gonna Step On You Again’ which some of you might know from the cover version by The Happy Mondays. John Kongos was from South Africa, which is why I imagine he wasn’t as successful as he should have been.

4) Cher - ‘Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves’

Once again, no great story about this track. As I mentioned above, I am a sucker for a great Pop song and what I’ve come to realise, especially if it has a great story or sentiment about it. This just grabbed me from the first time I heard it (probably at a youth club disco). But listening to it again for this, I am struck by the incredible arrangement and production. Even though I wasn’t aware of it, I was already beginning to absorb those values and techniques. And on top of all that - How F**king good is her Vocal ?!!

5) Atomic Rooster - ‘Devil’s Answer’

Sorry folks, but no sexy story about this either. However, what is of interest to you ‘Geeks’ is that this band was formed by members of ‘The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown’ - you might remember his track ‘Fire’ ? Anyway, the drummer is Carl Palmer, who later went on to be in that well known Prog Rock power trio Emerson, Lake and Palmer. I didn’t know any of that at the time, but I bought this because I LOVE the organ (Vince Crane) and the overall Rock/Funk feel of it. Just brilliant in every way.

6) Slade - ‘Coz I Luv You’

Apart from being the Pioneers of ‘Text’ speak, this band is simply AWESOME ! It was quite hard for me to choose one track because I was already ‘into’ them before this was released. But I chose this for reasons which, once again, I have only become aware of on reflection. Considering that they had a strong Skinhead following at the time, this was both a brave and genius release. This is a magnificent Love Song, brilliantly written and delivered. Showing off Noddy’s incredible ‘Blues’ voice, and the finely crafted musicianship of the band. How can I say that you ask? Because I saw them live at Liverpool University in 1974, and they ROCKED. What was lovely, is that 10 years later I often had a drink with Noddy in the bar of The Columbia Hotel in Bayswater, London. A thoroughly lovely guy who had a lot of time for the young and up and coming bands of the day (especially Frankie Goes To Hollywood).

7) T. Rex - ‘Get It On’

As with Slade, it was difficult to choose a track from this GENIUS. I can’t remember the first time I saw Marc Bolan, but he has simply always been in my Music Psyche. I can’t recommend enough how much you should ALL go out and listen to his work. I have chosen this for two reasons. Firstly it’s an AMAZING song with such RAW energy. And secondly because, that guitar sound in the intro is SO SEXY !

8) David Bowie - ‘Starman’

Where do I start ? I could do a lifetime on him alone. By this time (1972) I was living with my paternal grandparents, and I had inherited an old Grundig Mono Reel to Reel tape recorder which had belonged to my dad. Rather frustratingly it only had one reel of tape, and at 13 years old I had NO idea of how to acquire more. And so a pattern emerged whereby EVERY Sunday I would prop the mic in front of a transistor radio and try to record as much of the Top Twenty (presented by Alan Freeman) as possible. I would then play that recording over and over again until Thursday Night, when I would sit in front of the TV with the tape machine, holding the Mic up to the speaker of the Television for TOP OF THE POPS. I would then listen to that until Sunday when the new Top Twenty was on.

So it comes to one Thursday night in 1972 and I’m there ready to record. And all of a sudden, the man who was going to change my life both musically and stylistically, APPEARED ! It was all I could do to hold the Mic to the TV as I was mesmerised by Ziggy Stardust !

So even though there are other Bowie tracks which mean more to me, THIS was the one which ‘Turned Me On’. What stays with me is that line “Hey far out, so you heard him too” because the next day in school, all the ‘cool’ kids were talking about the fact that they had “heard AND seen him too”.

9) Roxy Music - ‘Virginia Plain’

Please see above until you get to the point where I talk about the track. As if Bowie wasn’t enough, only four months later, the same music and style, mind blowing occurred. Oh the JOY of seeing Roxy Music in all their Art School Avant Garde trendsetting pre Glam MAJESTY. From the very first shot I was hooked, and went on to be as avid a fan and collector as I was of Bowie. As with Bowie, there are other tracks by Roxy which I like more (In Every Dream Home A Heartache) but THIS was the one which started it all.

10) Argent - ‘Hold Your Head Up’

By this time TOTP was a big influence for me, as was The Old Grey Whistle Test (more of that soon). I can’t remember exactly when I first heard this, but I do know that it resonated with me immediately. As I have said earlier, I am a sucker for a great Pop song, especially if it has a great message, and even better if it’s got killer keyboards. THIS has all of the above.

As I’ve also mentioned earlier, I had a very troubled life as a child and teenager, and the lyrics to this song got me through some hard times. In fact they still do occasionally. I dedicate this to all who are struggling, with LOVE.

11) Cockney Rebel - ‘Judy Teen’

As with Bowie and Roxy, there are other tracks by Cockney Rebel which ‘speak’ to me more. However, once again I have to admit that it was THIS track which got me into them. As was my way at that time, once I ‘discovered’ a band, like a true ‘Trainspotter’ I would seek out EVERYTHING !

I would really encourage you all to check out three albums by them. ‘Human Menagerie’ ‘The Psychomodo’ and ‘The Best Years Of Our Lives’.

This wasn’t their first single (that was called ‘Sebastien’) but it was the one which brought them to my attention. So much so that I went to see them at the Liverpool Stadium in 1974, where the support band was none other than ‘BeBop Deluxe’ - Bill Nelson’s band, who’s single ‘Ships In The Night’ almost made it into this selection - You’re welcome.

12) David Essex - ‘Rock On’

I bought this single the day after I saw him on TOTP. And in fact I still play it out occasionally (at the right gig of course). What is AMAZING about this track is that he wrote it, Co produced it (with Jeff Wayne of War of The Worlds Fame), and he is responsible for the sound. In fact the only other musician of note is Herbie Flowers, who was a session musician at that time. And remember, David Essex was a teenager at the time. In 1973 this was UNIQUE, which is why it excited me then, and still does now.

13) Alice Cooper - ‘Hello Hooray’

I’m breaking my own rule with this selection, but for very good reason. I had already bought ‘School’s Out’ and ‘Elected’ - but it’s the Lyrics in this which make it one of my ALL time favourites. I still find inspiration from it now. If you’re struggling, I encourage you to listen closely, and I hope that it moves you as it does me.

14) Area Code 615 - ‘Stone Fox Chase’

I mentioned earlier that these early years were very much informed by two music programs, both on the BBC but so diametrically opposed. But THAT fact totally encapsulates my widely varied and expansive musical evolution. This track also explains my ‘Trainspotting’ - One of the programs was ‘The Old Grey Whistle Test’ which aired on BBC2 late at night and was originally presented by ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris. It championed the ‘New’ and ‘Out There’ music and Bands. It’s no surprise that the OGWT had better appearances by Bowie and Roxy (amongst so many others) than TOTP. But it was THAT theme tune which really got me. I wasn’t a new release, it was NEVER going to be on TOTP or in the Top Twenty, and therefore - I HAD to hunt for it. This was LONG before Google or anything like that, so I put in some REAL Trainspotting effort and went around asking for it. By sheer good fortune, I happened to live near Penny Lane in Liverpool, and a new ‘Second Hand’ record shop had just opened run by a couple of hippies (it WAS the early Seventies). I had become friendly with them quite quickly, and one day asked about the theme tune to the OGWT. And as luck would have it, one of the guys knew what it was. I asked if he could get it for me, and three weeks later the single arrived. As a side note - that’s why I knew what it was when it became popular on the ‘Balearic’ scene in 1987. I immediately dug out my single on Polydor and proceeded to give it the exposure and appreciation I had always known it deserved.

15) Golden Earring - ‘Radar Love’

It should be becoming apparent by now, that within a very short space of time I had developed a very wide and eclectic taste in music. Looking back I can see that the common denominator was a well crafted Pop song or tune, coupled with great playing and production. Every track ‘spoke’ to me on some or many levels, and this is no exception. What I need to add to the fact that I watched TOTP and the OGWT religiously EVERY week, is that I also used to lie in bed late into the night listening to a radio station called ‘Radio Luxembourg’. I had a tiny transistor radio with an earpiece and would listen in wonderment to all sorts of wild and wonderful music. The signal was so weak that sometimes when it was very windy, the transmission would fade in and out, which was very frustrating when I was trying to find out what certain tracks were called. This was DEFINITELY a Radio Luxembourg discovery, although it went on to a big hit in Britain as well.

It’s rumoured to be a song about taking Amphetamines and driving a truck - All I can say is that it is constructed PERFECTLY ! As a little aside - I was booked to play at an Alldayer in Berkshire one Bank Holiday Sunday in 1988 (can’t say which one), and I was led to believe that the local chapter of the Hell’s Angels provided ‘Security’. I also knew that Andy Weatherall was playing, so I took this along and opened my set with it. Pretty much cleared the room, but I got a few thumbs up from some pretty ‘Heavy’ looking bearded security guys. And Andy also expressed his appreciation, which was good enough for me.

16) Brian Eno - ‘Baby’s On Fire’

From the very first time I saw Roxy Music and proceeded to get into them in my usual ‘Trainspotter’ way, Eno was ALWAYS a major source of fascination for me. I ‘got’ immediately how important he was to the overall sound, and it was him that first really made me aware of what a Synthesiser could REALLY do. And again, it was only decades later that I became aware of how much his style and production technique had permeated my own ‘Producers’ technique.

So when Eno announced that he was leaving Roxy in 1973, I was one of the thousands both shocked and dismayed. However, when he announced that he was producing a Solo LP, I just couldn’t wait.

The whole of ‘Here Come The Warm Jets’ was and still is, a tour de force of Electronic, Experimental, Avant Garde, Sonic GENIUS. And on top of that - he wrote one of the most twisted Pop songs I have ever heard. What makes this extra special is that it sees the beginning of the relationship between himself and Robert Fripp, which would contribute so beautifully to the LP ‘Heroes’ by David Bowie. Whilst I’m here - I recommend that you find a track called ‘Kings Lead Hat’ which Eno recorded whilst producing Talking Heads. In fact - the song’s title is an anagram of the band’s name, and you can hear them on his track.

17) Sparks - ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us’

By the time these guys appeared on TOTP, I was already aware of them but hadn’t heard any of their stuff. Suffice to say that as soon as I saw them I wanted to hear EVERYTHING. I rushed out to buy this single and the album it was from called ‘Kimono My House’ (I STRONGLY recommend you all have listen). In truth my favourite tracks are ‘Amateur Hour’ and ‘Talent Is An Asset’, but being true to my brief - I am sharing with you all the track which was the incredible ‘Force’ which turned me on to Sparks

And YES, I have ALL the 12 inch coloured vinyl records of ‘Beat The Clock’, Tryouts For The Human Race’ and ‘Number One Song In Heaven’. #Trainspotter !

18) The Glitter Band - ‘Angel Face’

I KNOW ! but before you all get your knickers in a twist - this has NOTHING to do with ‘that guy’. I didn’t even have to check because I ALWAYS knew that it wasn’t. In fact it was never him that I was into, but rather the songs and the production. I was always aware that the main creative force behind it all was a guy called Mike Leander, so when it was announced that the Glitter Band were releasing a record co written and produced by Leander, I was very interested. This track encapsulates EVERYTHING about the ‘Glam Pop’ scene at the time. You will all probably know their other great track ‘Makes you Blind’ which of course is a Balearic Classic.

Decades later, I had the pleasure of working with John Springate from the band at his studio in Deptford, when I was remixing a track called ‘Keep It Up’ by Boyswonder. He was amazed that I knew the Glitter Band and that I had bought all their records. Another thoroughly lovely Seventies Pop Star.

19) Rupie Edwards - ‘Ire Feelings (Skanga)’

Whoa ! - ya didn’t see that one coming did you? By the time this came out I was really at a transitional point in my early musical evolution, which the rest of my selections will clearly demonstrate. I was ALWAYS listening and searching for new and exciting music irrespective of the Genre. I suppose it could be said that my ‘Balearic’ mindset was already being firmly set as my musical ‘Default’. I just LOVED music, and at that time it was all so NEW and COLOURFUL to me. At the age of 15 I was already well into the Youth Club and School Discos, as well as going to the midweek dances at the local Teacher Training College near where I lived. I had a fake Students Union card which made me 18 and I would go along with a couple of mates and get pissed on pints of Orangeboom at 15p a pint (never cost more than a quid to get drunk).

And it was between all those ‘Dances’ where I began to hear Reggae, Soul, Funk and early Disco. I had bought a few chart singles throughout the years in that style but, I began to hear ‘COOL’ stuff.

This is one such track - from the moment I heard it I HAD to have it. In those days a DJ was astonished that anyone would ask what he was playing, so they were always happy to share their Golden Knowledge with me. I still own my copy of this on the ‘Cactus’ label - and apparently that makes me quite cool. I would NEVER claim to be a Dub aficionado, but I DO know what I like.

20) 1968 That Song from ‘if’ - ‘Missa Luba’

I happened to be sitting up quite late one night in 1974 after my Grandparents had gone to bed, and I chanced upon a black and white film called ‘if’ starring Malcolm McDowell. I’m not going to bother reviewing it here other than to say “YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM!”

The film was typically weird and arty, but had some wild shit going on, including Malcolm romping naked in a cafe with a waitress. Now for a 15 year old boy you would have thought that it couldn’t get any better BUT - that wasn’t what I LOVED about the film. It was the use of this particular piece of music in several key scenes. I know ! typical trainspotter, listening to the music instead of watching the sex and violence.

Anyway, I just HAD to have that piece of Music. This was long before the days of the Interweb and Google, and I had to put some serious effort into finding it. It wasn’t like it was going to be on TOTP or OGWT any time soon, as the film originally came out in 1968. But as was my way, I was on first name terms with EVERY record shop person in the whole of the North of Liverpool (and a few others in town). Of course none of them had a clue what I was talking about, and I was resigned to never knowing what it was.

But one day as I was chatting with the guy in WH Smith on Allerton Rd. I randomly asked him if he would look through a catalogue of Classical and Soundtrack Releases for ‘if’ - it was a dull weekday afternoon, so he handed me one and we started to go through a couple of weighty tomes. And after half an hour I ONLY went and found it ! It was from a recording of ‘The African Sanctus’ and was released as a single on Phillips at the time the film came out.

Of course this was 1974 and it was uncertain if it was still available. But he duly ordered it, and bugger me if it didn’t arrive the week later. I then took it home and played it till it nearly wore out. I eventually found a copy of the album, but I also still have the single (somewhere in storage). I just LOVE the magnificent HUGE rawness of this track.

21) The Doors - ‘Hello I Love You’

I refer you to most of the section about Rupie Edwards in relation to this, but I will also add - By the end of 1975 I was nearly 17, and had already started going to my local pub ‘The Halfway House’ in Liverpool. I was already doing a ‘Paper Round’ 7 mornings a week, as well as occasionally working with my best friend washing and valeting his Uncle’s fleet of Wedding Cars. And that summer I got a job working in Stylo Shoes in London Road earning £19 a week (and fiddling another £20). This meant that I was a young man of independent means, and what wasn’t spent on Records and Clobber, went on a few pints a couple nights a week. Don’t forget I had my fake Students Union ID ! And this is where one of my weirdest music influences comes into it.

Every Friday night a guy would come into the pub after work, with his pockets full of wages and a week of frustration to drown. I used to love it when he came in because he would always go straight to the Juke Box and put the same 5 records on. He’d play more through the night, but those particular 5 were his ‘GO TO’ tracks. In no particular order it would be Springsteen ‘Born To Run’, War ‘Low Rider’, Joe Walsh ‘Rocky Mountain Way’, Family ‘Burlesque’ and The Doors ‘Hello I Love You’.

As you can imagine, within weeks I owned them all and they introduced me to so much more incredible music. In fact I almost included a Springsteen track called ‘Meeting Across The River’ in my selection as it is so beautiful. But I include The Doors for the simple reason that I had NEVER heard of them before, but I fell in love with them right away. I went on to own albums by ALL of the above five and can heartily recommend them to you all.

22) Stevie Wonder - ‘Boogie On Reggae Woman’

As with the above track (and a couple of others), I am aware that some of these tracks came out earlier than others but, I am listing them according to how they appeared on my Musical ‘Time Line’.

I have no idea of when I first heard this, but it’s almost certainly to have been at one of the ‘Discos’ I attended. I had learned quite quickly that the best way to get chatting to girls was to learn to dance. And so I very enthusiastically learned EVERY new dance that came around. In fact I had been doing that since late 1972, but it was only in 1975 that I started to hear really cool stuff.

As always I made a point of finding out what it was and immediately bought it. I’ve always loved the groove of the song and what I realise now is how FUNKY the Synths are in it. I was considering including ‘Living For The City’ by Stevie as I love that as well but, THIS is the track that really shows off how squelchy and groovy that MOOG is.

I still maintain that Stevie Wonder has NEVER been given the recognition he deserves for championing Synths in general, but especially in Funk/Soul/Boogie and Disco.

23) Hamilton Bohannon - ‘Foot Stompin’ Music’

It was a toss up between this and ‘Disco Stomp’ but I chose this for the simple reason that I REALLY love that growling Bass Organ riff at the beginning. And also it’s a bloody great track. I bought both of them, and of course a number of his earlier tracks (South African Man in particular) and a couple of albums. There is something raw and downright groovy in his beats and I still love his work to this day.

24) The Sharonettes - ‘Going To A Go Go’

This track and the following share the same story and origins. In the late summer of 1975, I went on holiday with my aunt and my baby cousin to Sunny Rhyll in North Wales, or ‘The Liverpool Riviera’ as I used to call it. The days were spent doing the usual ‘Seaside’ stuff, but as my cousin was only a couple of years old, every evening my aunt was stuck in the Guest House with him. Of course I’m a young man of 16 years old with ants in my pants, and I had spotted a place which I could only assume that with a name like ‘The Dixyland Showbar’ must be a Nightclub.

So two nights into our stay - I venture along with my trusty fake ID and a lot of bravado. The guy must have thought that I MUST be 18 to be coming in alone and in I strolled. Into the most amazing scene I had experienced up until that point. Full of pissed up Scousers on Holiday, with some local Welsh folk (looking quite angry and resentful I realise on reflection). The bar was heaving, the dance floor was heaving and the music was like NOTHING I had heard before. And to top it off - the BEST Roy Orbison tribute band ever (and he wasn’t even dead !).

I had a few pints, enjoyed the show and then applied myself to learning about the music and dancing. It was uptempo soul grooves with great songs and some amazing dancers. This was my introduction to NORTHERN SOUL ! I ended the night with a ‘Slowy’ with lovely Welsh girl of 22 to Bryan Hyland ‘Sealed With a Kiss’ (That’s another story!) and went off with a promise to meet her in a couple of nights time. Sure enough she was there and we had a laugh, but all the time in the back of my head, all I wanted to do was find out what the bloody tracks were !

BUT ! I was astute enough to recognise the ones which were most popular and made a point of finding out about them. To this day I can’t remember the girl’s name but - I can remember THIS TRACK. I bought the follow up ‘Pappa Ooh Mow Mow as well, but it wasn’t as good as this.

I also bought ‘Under My Thumb’ by Wayne Gibson and the track which comes next in my election #KPF

25) Al Wilson - ‘The Snake’ See above

#KeepThe Faith

26) Genesis - ‘A Trick Of The Tail’

It’s important at this time to point out that throughout the journey I have laid out for you here, I was ALSO very much into a LOT more music. I had bought EVERY Genesis album up to this point (1976), I had bought a number of early Status Quo albums, at least 4 queen albums, and records by The Velvet Underground, Hall and Oats (Abandoned Luncheonette), The Rolling Stones, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils (Car over The Lake), Tod Rundgren, Kraftwerk, The Who, EVERY Bowie and Roxy/Ferry album and much more.

So when Peter Gabriel left Genesis, we all assumed that was the end of the band. But every now and then I would enquire in my local ‘Hippy’ record shop ‘Penny Lane Records’ (which I ended up managing in 1979/80) about any news on a new Genesis album. Always the same answer “not yet, they’re still looking for a singer”.

I had pretty much forgotten about it until one day Chris announces as I walk in “It’s HERE!” and produces ‘A Trick Of The Tail’. Now I’ll be honest and admit I was pretty much ‘over’ the band by that time (as you can tell from the past few selections) but I felt morally obliged to buy it.

I took it home and upon playing it I was struck by how much like Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins sounded. It turns out that there had been a delay because Collins had never wanted to be the singer, but they had auditioned hundreds and eventually he HAD to do it because they were contracted to release an album.

The other thing which struck me was HOW BLOODY GOOD IT WAS! But there is a reason why I’ve chosen this track in particular from the whole of the Genesis catalogue, and that is within the lyrics.

It’s only over the years that I became aware that it’s a song about intolerance and the hate and distrust of ‘Difference’. And what blows me away is that it is even more relevant today than it was in 1976. It’s a beautiful morality tale and the production and nuances are incredibly moving to me even now.

27) Lou Reed - ‘Coney Island Baby’

Once again I’m breaking my rule about selecting the track which first created an impression, but in this case it is fully justified.

Like most Seventies teenagers, I discovered Lou Reed and then The Velvet Underground through his work with David Bowie. Of course I bought ‘Transformer’ but unlike a lot of others, I didn’t stop there. I have to admit that I found ‘Berlin’ quite hard going, but I absolutely LOVED and still do, Sally Can’t Dance and especially ‘Coney Island Baby’

Originally I had intended to included a long track from ‘Rock n Roll Animal’ which is the live album from his tour after ‘Transformer’. I went to his gig at The Liverpool Empire on that tour and was BLOWN AWAY. One of my all time favourite gigs (of the many hundreds I’ve been to). The track is the Intro and then into Sweet Jane, which features the incredible talents of two great guitarists ‘Dick Wagner and Stevie Hunter, and it is simply electrifying. I accept that perhaps I feel it more because I saw it live, which is why I have chosen this track instead.

For me it totally encapsulates Lou Reed - his timing and vocal nuances in this are simply divine, and the subject matter is something which resonates with me, as I know it does for a lot of us who were always ‘Different’ and often ‘Lost’ for a time. I dedicate this to EVERYONE who has been abused, or oppressed for being different, or who has felt ‘Alone’.

I dedicate this to Jayne Casey (my first style inspiration)

Always believe in the Glory of Love x x

28) Steely Dan - ‘The Fez’

WOW ! this was a really hard one to choose. I could have gone with so many different quality tracks from the first five albums, and it took more than an hour of sifting before I chose this (and I changed my mind at least 5 times).

But what made me choose this is that it reminds me of another significant period of transition. In 1975 a wine bar called ‘Kirlklands’ opened in Liverpool, and very quickly ALL the cool people were going. And when they opened ‘The Baltimore Rooms’ upstairs it was ONLY for the ‘In People’. And who do you think was going regularly ?

I was well into my final phase as teenager, which would see me totally embrace the Art School New Wave scene which quickly led into Punk. But just at that crossover - there was The Baltimore Rooms. It was very ornate, and was the first club which ever had a FULL Bose sound system. The DJ I particularly enjoyed was a guy called John Henry, who was also a Radio City DJ. On any given night he would play everything from Bowie to Roxy to Reggae to Jazz and Funk and all sorts in-between including Steely Dan. Not just this, but many other tracks as well.

There are so many tracks I could have included at this point, but I have already included Bowie/Roxy/Lou and others and I REALLY wanted to include a Steely Dan track. And this is exactly right for this point in time. And it’s just so FUNKY !!

What’s interesting is that not many years later (1982) I was working for the owners of Kirklands when they opened a club called ‘The State’ in Liverpool, where my Thursday nights became ‘THE’ in place to be.

29) Eddie and the Hot Rods - ‘Teenage Depression’

So you know all those ‘COOL’ people I mentioned above ? Well, by the middle of 1976, we were all becoming ‘Punks’ and were going to a cool new place which was the antithesis of Kirklands, called ERIC’S.

We’d heard about a place where you could wear jeans and ripped up shirts and leather jackets, and there was brilliant bands most nights. It was owned by a guy called Roger Eagle, who had run a venue called The Stadium in Liverpool, where only a few years earlier I had seen bands like Cockney Rebel and Mott The Hoople, but he had started as a Northern Soul DJ at a club called The Twisted Wheel in Manchester.

How incredible that my formative musical years should come full circle with that club. EVERYTHING that I have included somehow or other was also connected to Roger.

We used to talk about it a lot and even though I was under age, he gave me a membership personally. At that time there was a condition whereby when bands played, the venue had to supply what were known as ‘Humpers’. These were big strong lads who helped load the PA and Band’s gear into the venue and at the end of the night, load it out again. So I quickly did a deal with Roger to work as a humper in exchange for free entry into all the gigs.

I will be honest and admit that I can’t remember everyone I saw, but it does include most of the up and coming Punk bands of that time including The Jam and The Stranglers, as well as crazy gigs like Talking Heads, Stanley Clarke, early OMD, and Local Bands like Big In Japan featuring Holly Johnson, Ian Broudie, Bill Drummond and Jayne Casey. Also Deaf School, The Spitfire Boys and many many more.

But the OTHER great thing about the club was the MUSIC from the DJ. Norman Killon was his name, and he was chosen by Roger because Norman had exactly the same wide and extensive musical knowledge and taste as himself. So I would often have time in the club, during some empty nights just listening to Norman. I heard SO much great music which changed me again, and has stayed with me but, I have to choose just one.

I chose this because it was one of the first ‘Punk’ singles I bought. In fact Joe Strummer was quoted as saying that ‘Eddie and the Hot Rods’ was the first band he had ever heard described as ‘Punk’.

They had a hit with a track called ‘Do Anything You Wanna Do’ but this is the ONE for me. It also reminds me of myself at times at that age. If I could include one more it would be ‘Cocaine’ by Dillinger - I still have my White Vinyl (of Course) 12 inch.

30) Talking Heads - Psycho Killer

And so I end my selection with this from 1977. All of what I wrote above applies to this as well. But on top of that, to me - Talking Heads encapsulated EVERYTHING which I felt about music. They were groovy, they were arty, they were New Wave, they were Cool, they were Punk, they were stylish, they could play and they didn’t care what anyone thought. It’s no mistake that once again I was turned on to a weird and wonderful creative genius who’s music I would follow for many many years to come.

That all said - I have to remind you that this has been a snapshot into only six of my 46 years long love of music. I could start writing lists of bands and albums that I have been into and would recommend, but it would run into several more pages and cover so many genres and time scales.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed this journey with me - and I hope that we can do it again some time soon. In the meantime - I encourage you all to follow your heart and soul when it comes to music - ENJOY.]]>
Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Steve Proctor
Title: DD0440
Style: Soul, Rock, Funk
Time: 120 minutes
Date: 2017-11-05

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we welcome Balearic and Acid House pioneer, DJ and Remixer Steven Proctor to the Dusk Dubs family....

"When I was first invited to contribute to this excellent series I was both humbled and somewhat daunted. Humbled to be asked to share my musical history with others, and daunted at the task of trying to fit 46 years of that history into 2 hours.

Throughout this I have been guided by something the Dusk Dubs guys had told me the first time they asked me. They told me that they wanted me to share the music which had contributed to my ‘Music DNA’. The music which had excited me and had been significant to me through the years.

I could easily have picked out two hours of super cool tracks from the past 46 years (and before), and written twee little paragraphs about each one to make myself look cool but, that’s not me. So I had to decide a couple of things.

1) On the basis that I couldn’t cram everything in, I decided to follow Dusk Dubs words, and so I have limited my selection to the first 6 years of my musical evolution (1971-76), as those years really were the beginning of who I am now.

2) Also, following their guidance, I have selected some tracks by certain artists which aren’t necessarily my favourites, but which were the start of my being ‘into’ those artists. I do this because it’s those tracks which changed my Musical DNA, which then led me into becoming fully immersed in their music over a long period of time.

To be honest, as I’ve been going through everything I realise that I could very easily do a number of these, focusing on specific styles and genres. In fact, doing this has inspired me to look into ways in which I can share all of my musical influences as time goes on.

So, before I get into the tracks themselves, I would just like to thank the Dusk Dubs crew for their patience and kindness for me over this past year or more. I am very grateful to be invited to share some of my history and passion with other folk whom I know to be open minded and passionate about music. I have to say in advance, that some of the tracks have great stories, and some of the tracks are just great to me.

I sincerely hope that you all enjoy my contribution."

Steve.

**Tracklisting**

1) Creedence Clearwater Revival - ‘Heard It Through The Grapevine’

This track appears on an album called ‘Cosmo’s Factory’ which was released in 1970, and the album is the VERY first record I ever bought. Without going into detail, it is safe to say that I had a very mixed up childhood, which involved me being moved between Liverpool and Canada 4 times by the time I was 11 years old, and which saw me back in Liverpool in 1971.

The album, and this track in particular, was my Dad’s favourite at the time, and to be honest it was many years later that I discovered that Marvin Gaye had written and originally recorded it. I can say with absolute certainty that I get ALL of my musical passion and ‘feel’ from my Dad, and I am eternally grateful to him for that. Sadly, when I left Canada for the last time in 1971, I didn’t realise that I would never see him again. But I did know that I missed him terribly, which is why I bought the album to remind me of him. And this track has stayed with me as the first time that I ever associated emotions with music.

2) Chicory Tip - ‘Son Of My Father’

This was the VERY first single I ever bought. I can’t tell you where I first heard it as it has just ‘been’ in my musical memory forever. What I CAN tell you is that it was the sound of THAT Moog which totally changed my Musical Psyche forever. At the age of 13 in 1972 I had NEVER heard the word ‘Synthesiser’ before, but I knew that I LOVED that sound. It was many years later when I realised that it was written and originally released by the master himself, Giorgio Moroder. What is even more incredible is that the Moog sound on this version is even better than his original (well I think so anyway). Although I didn’t realise it at the time, this was also the beginning of my liking of a good ‘Pop’ tune. I bought the follow up ‘Good Grief Christina’ but to be honest, I’d already moved on.

3) John Kongos - ‘Tokoloshe Man’

The copy I own of this was released on a label called ‘FLY’ which I had come to know as the label for Tyrannosaurus Rex, and T-Rex (more of them later). Once again, I have no idea how I first heard this but I have always loved it. I also bought the follow up ‘He’s Gonna Step On You Again’ which some of you might know from the cover version by The Happy Mondays. John Kongos was from South Africa, which is why I imagine he wasn’t as successful as he should have been.

4) Cher - ‘Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves’

Once again, no great story about this track. As I mentioned above, I am a sucker for a great Pop song and what I’ve come to realise, especially if it has a great story or sentiment about it. This just grabbed me from the first time I heard it (probably at a youth club disco). But listening to it again for this, I am struck by the incredible arrangement and production. Even though I wasn’t aware of it, I was already beginning to absorb those values and techniques. And on top of all that - How F**king good is her Vocal ?!!

5) Atomic Rooster - ‘Devil’s Answer’

Sorry folks, but no sexy story about this either. However, what is of interest to you ‘Geeks’ is that this band was formed by members of ‘The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown’ - you might remember his track ‘Fire’ ? Anyway, the drummer is Carl Palmer, who later went on to be in that well known Prog Rock power trio Emerson, Lake and Palmer. I didn’t know any of that at the time, but I bought this because I LOVE the organ (Vince Crane) and the overall Rock/Funk feel of it. Just brilliant in every way.

6) Slade - ‘Coz I Luv You’

Apart from being the Pioneers of ‘Text’ speak, this band is simply AWESOME ! It was quite hard for me to choose one track because I was already ‘into’ them before this was released. But I chose this for reasons which, once again, I have only become aware of on reflection. Considering that they had a strong Skinhead following at the time, this was both a brave and genius release. This is a magnificent Love Song, brilliantly written and delivered. Showing off Noddy’s incredible ‘Blues’ voice, and the finely crafted musicianship of the band. How can I say that you ask? Because I saw them live at Liverpool University in 1974, and they ROCKED. What was lovely, is that 10 years later I often had a drink with Noddy in the bar of The Columbia Hotel in Bayswater, London. A thoroughly lovely guy who had a lot of time for the young and up and coming bands of the day (especially Frankie Goes To Hollywood).

7) T. Rex - ‘Get It On’

As with Slade, it was difficult to choose a track from this GENIUS. I can’t remember the first time I saw Marc Bolan, but he has simply always been in my Music Psyche. I can’t recommend enough how much you should ALL go out and listen to his work. I have chosen this for two reasons. Firstly it’s an AMAZING song with such RAW energy. And secondly because, that guitar sound in the intro is SO SEXY !

8) David Bowie - ‘Starman’

Where do I start ? I could do a lifetime on him alone. By this time (1972) I was living with my paternal grandparents, and I had inherited an old Grundig Mono Reel to Reel tape recorder which had belonged to my dad. Rather frustratingly it only had one reel of tape, and at 13 years old I had NO idea of how to acquire more. And so a pattern emerged whereby EVERY Sunday I would prop the mic in front of a transistor radio and try to record as much of the Top Twenty (presented by Alan Freeman) as possible. I would then play that recording over and over again until Thursday Night, when I would sit in front of the TV with the tape machine, holding the Mic up to the speaker of the Television for TOP OF THE POPS. I would then listen to that until Sunday when the new Top Twenty was on.

So it comes to one Thursday night in 1972 and I’m there ready to record. And all of a sudden, the man who was going to change my life both musically and stylistically, APPEARED ! It was all I could do to hold the Mic to the TV as I was mesmerised by Ziggy Stardust !

So even though there are other Bowie tracks which mean more to me, THIS was the one which ‘Turned Me On’. What stays with me is that line “Hey far out, so you heard him too” because the next day in school, all the ‘cool’ kids were talking about the fact that they had “heard AND seen him too”.

9) Roxy Music - ‘Virginia Plain’

Please see above until you get to the point where I talk about the track. As if Bowie wasn’t enough, only four months later, the same music and style, mind blowing occurred. Oh the JOY of seeing Roxy Music in all their Art School Avant Garde trendsetting pre Glam MAJESTY. From the very first shot I was hooked, and went on to be as avid a fan and collector as I was of Bowie. As with Bowie, there are other tracks by Roxy which I like more (In Every Dream Home A Heartache) but THIS was the one which started it all.

10) Argent - ‘Hold Your Head Up’

By this time TOTP was a big influence for me, as was The Old Grey Whistle Test (more of that soon). I can’t remember exactly when I first heard this, but I do know that it resonated with me immediately. As I have said earlier, I am a sucker for a great Pop song, especially if it has a great message, and even better if it’s got killer keyboards. THIS has all of the above.

As I’ve also mentioned earlier, I had a very troubled life as a child and teenager, and the lyrics to this song got me through some hard times. In fact they still do occasionally. I dedicate this to all who are struggling, with LOVE.

11) Cockney Rebel - ‘Judy Teen’

As with Bowie and Roxy, there are other tracks by Cockney Rebel which ‘speak’ to me more. However, once again I have to admit that it was THIS track which got me into them. As was my way at that time, once I ‘discovered’ a band, like a true ‘Trainspotter’ I would seek out EVERYTHING !

I would really encourage you all to check out three albums by them. ‘Human Menagerie’ ‘The Psychomodo’ and ‘The Best Years Of Our Lives’.

This wasn’t their first single (that was called ‘Sebastien’) but it was the one which brought them to my attention. So much so that I went to see them at the Liverpool Stadium in 1974, where the support band was none other than ‘BeBop Deluxe’ - Bill Nelson’s band, who’s single ‘Ships In The Night’ almost made it into this selection - You’re welcome.

12) David Essex - ‘Rock On’

I bought this single the day after I saw him on TOTP. And in fact I still play it out occasionally (at the right gig of course). What is AMAZING about this track is that he wrote it, Co produced it (with Jeff Wayne of War of The Worlds Fame), and he is responsible for the sound. In fact the only other musician of note is Herbie Flowers, who was a session musician at that time. And remember, David Essex was a teenager at the time. In 1973 this was UNIQUE, which is why it excited me then, and still does now.

13) Alice Cooper - ‘Hello Hooray’

I’m breaking my own rule with this selection, but for very good reason. I had already bought ‘School’s Out’ and ‘Elected’ - but it’s the Lyrics in this which make it one of my ALL time favourites. I still find inspiration from it now. If you’re struggling, I encourage you to listen closely, and I hope that it moves you as it does me.

14) Area Code 615 - ‘Stone Fox Chase’

I mentioned earlier that these early years were very much informed by two music programs, both on the BBC but so diametrically opposed. But THAT fact totally encapsulates my widely varied and expansive musical evolution. This track also explains my ‘Trainspotting’ - One of the programs was ‘The Old Grey Whistle Test’ which aired on BBC2 late at night and was originally presented by ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris. It championed the ‘New’ and ‘Out There’ music and Bands. It’s no surprise that the OGWT had better appearances by Bowie and Roxy (amongst so many others) than TOTP. But it was THAT theme tune which really got me. I wasn’t a new release, it was NEVER going to be on TOTP or in the Top Twenty, and therefore - I HAD to hunt for it. This was LONG before Google or anything like that, so I put in some REAL Trainspotting effort and went around asking for it. By sheer good fortune, I happened to live near Penny Lane in Liverpool, and a new ‘Second Hand’ record shop had just opened run by a couple of hippies (it WAS the early Seventies). I had become friendly with them quite quickly, and one day asked about the theme tune to the OGWT. And as luck would have it, one of the guys knew what it was. I asked if he could get it for me, and three weeks later the single arrived. As a side note - that’s why I knew what it was when it became popular on the ‘Balearic’ scene in 1987. I immediately dug out my single on Polydor and proceeded to give it the exposure and appreciation I had always known it deserved.

15) Golden Earring - ‘Radar Love’

It should be becoming apparent by now, that within a very short space of time I had developed a very wide and eclectic taste in music. Looking back I can see that the common denominator was a well crafted Pop song or tune, coupled with great playing and production. Every track ‘spoke’ to me on some or many levels, and this is no exception. What I need to add to the fact that I watched TOTP and the OGWT religiously EVERY week, is that I also used to lie in bed late into the night listening to a radio station called ‘Radio Luxembourg’. I had a tiny transistor radio with an earpiece and would listen in wonderment to all sorts of wild and wonderful music. The signal was so weak that sometimes when it was very windy, the transmission would fade in and out, which was very frustrating when I was trying to find out what certain tracks were called. This was DEFINITELY a Radio Luxembourg discovery, although it went on to a big hit in Britain as well.

It’s rumoured to be a song about taking Amphetamines and driving a truck - All I can say is that it is constructed PERFECTLY ! As a little aside - I was booked to play at an Alldayer in Berkshire one Bank Holiday Sunday in 1988 (can’t say which one), and I was led to believe that the local chapter of the Hell’s Angels provided ‘Security’. I also knew that Andy Weatherall was playing, so I took this along and opened my set with it. Pretty much cleared the room, but I got a few thumbs up from some pretty ‘Heavy’ looking bearded security guys. And Andy also expressed his appreciation, which was good enough for me.

16) Brian Eno - ‘Baby’s On Fire’

From the very first time I saw Roxy Music and proceeded to get into them in my usual ‘Trainspotter’ way, Eno was ALWAYS a major source of fascination for me. I ‘got’ immediately how important he was to the overall sound, and it was him that first really made me aware of what a Synthesiser could REALLY do. And again, it was only decades later that I became aware of how much his style and production technique had permeated my own ‘Producers’ technique.

So when Eno announced that he was leaving Roxy in 1973, I was one of the thousands both shocked and dismayed. However, when he announced that he was producing a Solo LP, I just couldn’t wait.

The whole of ‘Here Come The Warm Jets’ was and still is, a tour de force of Electronic, Experimental, Avant Garde, Sonic GENIUS. And on top of that - he wrote one of the most twisted Pop songs I have ever heard. What makes this extra special is that it sees the beginning of the relationship between himself and Robert Fripp, which would contribute so beautifully to the LP ‘Heroes’ by David Bowie. Whilst I’m here - I recommend that you find a track called ‘Kings Lead Hat’ which Eno recorded whilst producing Talking Heads. In fact - the song’s title is an anagram of the band’s name, and you can hear them on his track.

17) Sparks - ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us’

By the time these guys appeared on TOTP, I was already aware of them but hadn’t heard any of their stuff. Suffice to say that as soon as I saw them I wanted to hear EVERYTHING. I rushed out to buy this single and the album it was from called ‘Kimono My House’ (I STRONGLY recommend you all have listen). In truth my favourite tracks are ‘Amateur Hour’ and ‘Talent Is An Asset’, but being true to my brief - I am sharing with you all the track which was the incredible ‘Force’ which turned me on to Sparks

And YES, I have ALL the 12 inch coloured vinyl records of ‘Beat The Clock’, Tryouts For The Human Race’ and ‘Number One Song In Heaven’. #Trainspotter !

18) The Glitter Band - ‘Angel Face’

I KNOW ! but before you all get your knickers in a twist - this has NOTHING to do with ‘that guy’. I didn’t even have to check because I ALWAYS knew that it wasn’t. In fact it was never him that I was into, but rather the songs and the production. I was always aware that the main creative force behind it all was a guy called Mike Leander, so when it was announced that the Glitter Band were releasing a record co written and produced by Leander, I was very interested. This track encapsulates EVERYTHING about the ‘Glam Pop’ scene at the time. You will all probably know their other great track ‘Makes you Blind’ which of course is a Balearic Classic.

Decades later, I had the pleasure of working with John Springate from the band at his studio in Deptford, when I was remixing a track called ‘Keep It Up’ by Boyswonder. He was amazed that I knew the Glitter Band and that I had bought all their records. Another thoroughly lovely Seventies Pop Star.

19) Rupie Edwards - ‘Ire Feelings (Skanga)’

Whoa ! - ya didn’t see that one coming did you? By the time this came out I was really at a transitional point in my early musical evolution, which the rest of my selections will clearly demonstrate. I was ALWAYS listening and searching for new and exciting music irrespective of the Genre. I suppose it could be said that my ‘Balearic’ mindset was already being firmly set as my musical ‘Default’. I just LOVED music, and at that time it was all so NEW and COLOURFUL to me. At the age of 15 I was already well into the Youth Club and School Discos, as well as going to the midweek dances at the local Teacher Training College near where I lived. I had a fake Students Union card which made me 18 and I would go along with a couple of mates and get pissed on pints of Orangeboom at 15p a pint (never cost more than a quid to get drunk).

And it was between all those ‘Dances’ where I began to hear Reggae, Soul, Funk and early Disco. I had bought a few chart singles throughout the years in that style but, I began to hear ‘COOL’ stuff.

This is one such track - from the moment I heard it I HAD to have it. In those days a DJ was astonished that anyone would ask what he was playing, so they were always happy to share their Golden Knowledge with me. I still own my copy of this on the ‘Cactus’ label - and apparently that makes me quite cool. I would NEVER claim to be a Dub aficionado, but I DO know what I like.

20) 1968 That Song from ‘if’ - ‘Missa Luba’

I happened to be sitting up quite late one night in 1974 after my Grandparents had gone to bed, and I chanced upon a black and white film called ‘if’ starring Malcolm McDowell. I’m not going to bother reviewing it here other than to say “YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM!”

The film was typically weird and arty, but had some wild shit going on, including Malcolm romping naked in a cafe with a waitress. Now for a 15 year old boy you would have thought that it couldn’t get any better BUT - that wasn’t what I LOVED about the film. It was the use of this particular piece of music in several key scenes. I know ! typical trainspotter, listening to the music instead of watching the sex and violence.

Anyway, I just HAD to have that piece of Music. This was long before the days of the Interweb and Google, and I had to put some serious effort into finding it. It wasn’t like it was going to be on TOTP or OGWT any time soon, as the film originally came out in 1968. But as was my way, I was on first name terms with EVERY record shop person in the whole of the North of Liverpool (and a few others in town). Of course none of them had a clue what I was talking about, and I was resigned to never knowing what it was.

But one day as I was chatting with the guy in WH Smith on Allerton Rd. I randomly asked him if he would look through a catalogue of Classical and Soundtrack Releases for ‘if’ - it was a dull weekday afternoon, so he handed me one and we started to go through a couple of weighty tomes. And after half an hour I ONLY went and found it ! It was from a recording of ‘The African Sanctus’ and was released as a single on Phillips at the time the film came out.

Of course this was 1974 and it was uncertain if it was still available. But he duly ordered it, and bugger me if it didn’t arrive the week later. I then took it home and played it till it nearly wore out. I eventually found a copy of the album, but I also still have the single (somewhere in storage). I just LOVE the magnificent HUGE rawness of this track.

21) The Doors - ‘Hello I Love You’

I refer you to most of the section about Rupie Edwards in relation to this, but I will also add - By the end of 1975 I was nearly 17, and had already started going to my local pub ‘The Halfway House’ in Liverpool. I was already doing a ‘Paper Round’ 7 mornings a week, as well as occasionally working with my best friend washing and valeting his Uncle’s fleet of Wedding Cars. And that summer I got a job working in Stylo Shoes in London Road earning £19 a week (and fiddling another £20). This meant that I was a young man of independent means, and what wasn’t spent on Records and Clobber, went on a few pints a couple nights a week. Don’t forget I had my fake Students Union ID ! And this is where one of my weirdest music influences comes into it.

Every Friday night a guy would come into the pub after work, with his pockets full of wages and a week of frustration to drown. I used to love it when he came in because he would always go straight to the Juke Box and put the same 5 records on. He’d play more through the night, but those particular 5 were his ‘GO TO’ tracks. In no particular order it would be Springsteen ‘Born To Run’, War ‘Low Rider’, Joe Walsh ‘Rocky Mountain Way’, Family ‘Burlesque’ and The Doors ‘Hello I Love You’.

As you can imagine, within weeks I owned them all and they introduced me to so much more incredible music. In fact I almost included a Springsteen track called ‘Meeting Across The River’ in my selection as it is so beautiful. But I include The Doors for the simple reason that I had NEVER heard of them before, but I fell in love with them right away. I went on to own albums by ALL of the above five and can heartily recommend them to you all.

22) Stevie Wonder - ‘Boogie On Reggae Woman’

As with the above track (and a couple of others), I am aware that some of these tracks came out earlier than others but, I am listing them according to how they appeared on my Musical ‘Time Line’.

I have no idea of when I first heard this, but it’s almost certainly to have been at one of the ‘Discos’ I attended. I had learned quite quickly that the best way to get chatting to girls was to learn to dance. And so I very enthusiastically learned EVERY new dance that came around. In fact I had been doing that since late 1972, but it was only in 1975 that I started to hear really cool stuff.

As always I made a point of finding out what it was and immediately bought it. I’ve always loved the groove of the song and what I realise now is how FUNKY the Synths are in it. I was considering including ‘Living For The City’ by Stevie as I love that as well but, THIS is the track that really shows off how squelchy and groovy that MOOG is.

I still maintain that Stevie Wonder has NEVER been given the recognition he deserves for championing Synths in general, but especially in Funk/Soul/Boogie and Disco.

23) Hamilton Bohannon - ‘Foot Stompin’ Music’

It was a toss up between this and ‘Disco Stomp’ but I chose this for the simple reason that I REALLY love that growling Bass Organ riff at the beginning. And also it’s a bloody great track. I bought both of them, and of course a number of his earlier tracks (South African Man in particular) and a couple of albums. There is something raw and downright groovy in his beats and I still love his work to this day.

24) The Sharonettes - ‘Going To A Go Go’

This track and the following share the same story and origins. In the late summer of 1975, I went on holiday with my aunt and my baby cousin to Sunny Rhyll in North Wales, or ‘The Liverpool Riviera’ as I used to call it. The days were spent doing the usual ‘Seaside’ stuff, but as my cousin was only a couple of years old, every evening my aunt was stuck in the Guest House with him. Of course I’m a young man of 16 years old with ants in my pants, and I had spotted a place which I could only assume that with a name like ‘The Dixyland Showbar’ must be a Nightclub.

So two nights into our stay - I venture along with my trusty fake ID and a lot of bravado. The guy must have thought that I MUST be 18 to be coming in alone and in I strolled. Into the most amazing scene I had experienced up until that point. Full of pissed up Scousers on Holiday, with some local Welsh folk (looking quite angry and resentful I realise on reflection). The bar was heaving, the dance floor was heaving and the music was like NOTHING I had heard before. And to top it off - the BEST Roy Orbison tribute band ever (and he wasn’t even dead !).

I had a few pints, enjoyed the show and then applied myself to learning about the music and dancing. It was uptempo soul grooves with great songs and some amazing dancers. This was my introduction to NORTHERN SOUL ! I ended the night with a ‘Slowy’ with lovely Welsh girl of 22 to Bryan Hyland ‘Sealed With a Kiss’ (That’s another story!) and went off with a promise to meet her in a couple of nights time. Sure enough she was there and we had a laugh, but all the time in the back of my head, all I wanted to do was find out what the bloody tracks were !

BUT ! I was astute enough to recognise the ones which were most popular and made a point of finding out about them. To this day I can’t remember the girl’s name but - I can remember THIS TRACK. I bought the follow up ‘Pappa Ooh Mow Mow as well, but it wasn’t as good as this.

I also bought ‘Under My Thumb’ by Wayne Gibson and the track which comes next in my election #KPF

25) Al Wilson - ‘The Snake’ See above

#KeepThe Faith

26) Genesis - ‘A Trick Of The Tail’

It’s important at this time to point out that throughout the journey I have laid out for you here, I was ALSO very much into a LOT more music. I had bought EVERY Genesis album up to this point (1976), I had bought a number of early Status Quo albums, at least 4 queen albums, and records by The Velvet Underground, Hall and Oats (Abandoned Luncheonette), The Rolling Stones, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils (Car over The Lake), Tod Rundgren, Kraftwerk, The Who, EVERY Bowie and Roxy/Ferry album and much more.

So when Peter Gabriel left Genesis, we all assumed that was the end of the band. But every now and then I would enquire in my local ‘Hippy’ record shop ‘Penny Lane Records’ (which I ended up managing in 1979/80) about any news on a new Genesis album. Always the same answer “not yet, they’re still looking for a singer”.

I had pretty much forgotten about it until one day Chris announces as I walk in “It’s HERE!” and produces ‘A Trick Of The Tail’. Now I’ll be honest and admit I was pretty much ‘over’ the band by that time (as you can tell from the past few selections) but I felt morally obliged to buy it.

I took it home and upon playing it I was struck by how much like Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins sounded. It turns out that there had been a delay because Collins had never wanted to be the singer, but they had auditioned hundreds and eventually he HAD to do it because they were contracted to release an album.

The other thing which struck me was HOW BLOODY GOOD IT WAS! But there is a reason why I’ve chosen this track in particular from the whole of the Genesis catalogue, and that is within the lyrics.

It’s only over the years that I became aware that it’s a song about intolerance and the hate and distrust of ‘Difference’. And what blows me away is that it is even more relevant today than it was in 1976. It’s a beautiful morality tale and the production and nuances are incredibly moving to me even now.

27) Lou Reed - ‘Coney Island Baby’

Once again I’m breaking my rule about selecting the track which first created an impression, but in this case it is fully justified.

Like most Seventies teenagers, I discovered Lou Reed and then The Velvet Underground through his work with David Bowie. Of course I bought ‘Transformer’ but unlike a lot of others, I didn’t stop there. I have to admit that I found ‘Berlin’ quite hard going, but I absolutely LOVED and still do, Sally Can’t Dance and especially ‘Coney Island Baby’

Originally I had intended to included a long track from ‘Rock n Roll Animal’ which is the live album from his tour after ‘Transformer’. I went to his gig at The Liverpool Empire on that tour and was BLOWN AWAY. One of my all time favourite gigs (of the many hundreds I’ve been to). The track is the Intro and then into Sweet Jane, which features the incredible talents of two great guitarists ‘Dick Wagner and Stevie Hunter, and it is simply electrifying. I accept that perhaps I feel it more because I saw it live, which is why I have chosen this track instead.

For me it totally encapsulates Lou Reed - his timing and vocal nuances in this are simply divine, and the subject matter is something which resonates with me, as I know it does for a lot of us who were always ‘Different’ and often ‘Lost’ for a time. I dedicate this to EVERYONE who has been abused, or oppressed for being different, or who has felt ‘Alone’.

I dedicate this to Jayne Casey (my first style inspiration)

Always believe in the Glory of Love x x

28) Steely Dan - ‘The Fez’

WOW ! this was a really hard one to choose. I could have gone with so many different quality tracks from the first five albums, and it took more than an hour of sifting before I chose this (and I changed my mind at least 5 times).

But what made me choose this is that it reminds me of another significant period of transition. In 1975 a wine bar called ‘Kirlklands’ opened in Liverpool, and very quickly ALL the cool people were going. And when they opened ‘The Baltimore Rooms’ upstairs it was ONLY for the ‘In People’. And who do you think was going regularly ?

I was well into my final phase as teenager, which would see me totally embrace the Art School New Wave scene which quickly led into Punk. But just at that crossover - there was The Baltimore Rooms. It was very ornate, and was the first club which ever had a FULL Bose sound system. The DJ I particularly enjoyed was a guy called John Henry, who was also a Radio City DJ. On any given night he would play everything from Bowie to Roxy to Reggae to Jazz and Funk and all sorts in-between including Steely Dan. Not just this, but many other tracks as well.

There are so many tracks I could have included at this point, but I have already included Bowie/Roxy/Lou and others and I REALLY wanted to include a Steely Dan track. And this is exactly right for this point in time. And it’s just so FUNKY !!

What’s interesting is that not many years later (1982) I was working for the owners of Kirklands when they opened a club called ‘The State’ in Liverpool, where my Thursday nights became ‘THE’ in place to be.

29) Eddie and the Hot Rods - ‘Teenage Depression’

So you know all those ‘COOL’ people I mentioned above ? Well, by the middle of 1976, we were all becoming ‘Punks’ and were going to a cool new place which was the antithesis of Kirklands, called ERIC’S.

We’d heard about a place where you could wear jeans and ripped up shirts and leather jackets, and there was brilliant bands most nights. It was owned by a guy called Roger Eagle, who had run a venue called The Stadium in Liverpool, where only a few years earlier I had seen bands like Cockney Rebel and Mott The Hoople, but he had started as a Northern Soul DJ at a club called The Twisted Wheel in Manchester.

How incredible that my formative musical years should come full circle with that club. EVERYTHING that I have included somehow or other was also connected to Roger.

We used to talk about it a lot and even though I was under age, he gave me a membership personally. At that time there was a condition whereby when bands played, the venue had to supply what were known as ‘Humpers’. These were big strong lads who helped load the PA and Band’s gear into the venue and at the end of the night, load it out again. So I quickly did a deal with Roger to work as a humper in exchange for free entry into all the gigs.

I will be honest and admit that I can’t remember everyone I saw, but it does include most of the up and coming Punk bands of that time including The Jam and The Stranglers, as well as crazy gigs like Talking Heads, Stanley Clarke, early OMD, and Local Bands like Big In Japan featuring Holly Johnson, Ian Broudie, Bill Drummond and Jayne Casey. Also Deaf School, The Spitfire Boys and many many more.

But the OTHER great thing about the club was the MUSIC from the DJ. Norman Killon was his name, and he was chosen by Roger because Norman had exactly the same wide and extensive musical knowledge and taste as himself. So I would often have time in the club, during some empty nights just listening to Norman. I heard SO much great music which changed me again, and has stayed with me but, I have to choose just one.

I chose this because it was one of the first ‘Punk’ singles I bought. In fact Joe Strummer was quoted as saying that ‘Eddie and the Hot Rods’ was the first band he had ever heard described as ‘Punk’.

They had a hit with a track called ‘Do Anything You Wanna Do’ but this is the ONE for me. It also reminds me of myself at times at that age. If I could include one more it would be ‘Cocaine’ by Dillinger - I still have my White Vinyl (of Course) 12 inch.

30) Talking Heads - Psycho Killer

And so I end my selection with this from 1977. All of what I wrote above applies to this as well. But on top of that, to me - Talking Heads encapsulated EVERYTHING which I felt about music. They were groovy, they were arty, they were New Wave, they were Cool, they were Punk, they were stylish, they could play and they didn’t care what anyone thought. It’s no mistake that once again I was turned on to a weird and wonderful creative genius who’s music I would follow for many many years to come.

That all said - I have to remind you that this has been a snapshot into only six of my 46 years long love of music. I could start writing lists of bands and albums that I have been into and would recommend, but it would run into several more pages and cover so many genres and time scales.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed this journey with me - and I hope that we can do it again some time soon. In the meantime - I encourage you all to follow your heart and soul when it comes to music - ENJOY.]]> 1618269 no no Sun, 05 Nov 2017 10:58:46 +0100 2017-11-05T10:58:46+01:00 2:00:37 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0439-dusk-dubs-simon-mills/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we welcome producer, DJ and artist Simon Mills to the Dusk Dubs family.

Simon Mills rose to musical prominence in the 00’s as one half of wonky chillout duo Bent. He would later go on to release uptempo material under his own name, and has released numerous electronica albums and EPs as Napoleon.

As expected, Simon provides an eclectic collection of tracks that have inspired, shaped and moulded him musically over the years.

**Tracklisting**

1) Wendy Carlos - Creation of Tron

I was always a fan of Tron, it oozed atmosphere and was other-worldly. We'd never seen anything like this back in 82. There's something about the futuristic yet early computer-generated visuals crossed with Wendy Carlos' (LEGEND!) mind-boggling score that makes it such a unique and extraordinary universe. As a kid I would watch it purely to take in the magical world they created, and hoped it was the same inside my Atari. The music is a strange, discordant and often intense score that has some beautifully delicate melodic sections in it. I still want a light cycle.

2) Aphex Twin - Xtal

Aphex is obvious choice but this has to go on because it was the first track I heard where I realised that you could truly make music with a limited set up, not a huge over the top studio. The whole album is dusty and imperfect. It was such a revelation and so refreshing to hear something that was so unpolished. Surely most people who make electronic music have been influenced by Aphex at some point, he really was ahead of his game. The balance between the gorgeous chords, reverberated breaks and lush vocals just does it for me. I wish he wrote more like this, this is still my fave!

3) Boards Of Canada - In a Beautiful Place

Again, I think I would be doing this list an injustice without Boards Of Canada. I think Warp Records went through a phase of becoming a tad pretentious at a certain point, but when they released "Music Has The Right To Children", they knocked me for six with what I regard as one of the most important electronic albums ever. It completely restored my faith in their label again. Soulful, reflective electronica at its finest. I selected this because I loved the EPs around that time too.

4) Kleeer - Tonight

Another track making use of the vocoder like the last, and an instrument I've always loved and used. The production in this is off the hook. So much space. So much atmosphere. And Nail (Bent) would always joke about me always liking ANYTHING with modulated wobbly 80s synth chords in it (He's right). This just sums up so many records of that era that I love.

5) The Jones Girls - Nights Over Egypt

Again, another track from a similar era and atmosphere. This track like the last has such seductive, soulful chord structures in, and I'm always a sucker for harmonies. It's so evocative.

6) Plone - Marbles

Plone came out just as we were finishing the first Bent album, as I recall. Nail and I heard this in a record shop (Selectadisc… miss you!) and he laughed because he looked over knowing I'd love it… my face was lit up! It echoes quirky old games.. it conjours up the love between two robots haha! It has a sense of humour without trying to be jokey, and there's definitely a lot of that in Bent and my own work.

7) The Flamingos - I Only Have Eyes For You

Shifting back a few decades I adore this old 50s sound. It's romantic, dreamy, dusty, and the vocals are executed perfectly. I have a passion for vintage reverbs and delay units purely because of music like this. It makes me imagine the room they were in and just transports me to a different place. And yes, the harmonies on this are absolutely off the hook.

8) Beach Boys - All I Wanna Do

Pushing forward a decade, I *love* The Beach Boys. There have been times when I've been literally obsessed with them. They had a beautiful mixture of teenage hope mixed with melancholy, and that combination always resonated with me, which is why a lot of my own work both by myself and in Bent has that a similar combination of emotions. Love, hope, fear, optimism, yearning, reflection. This track came from a later album "Sunflower", and it stayed on loop when I discovered it. Still gets me every time.

9) The Stranglers - Paradise

Feline is my favourite album by The Stranglers by a long shot; probably a view many Stranglers fans would argue with. It was a very different direction for them after their previous work. The whole album has such a strange hybrid of analog synths, esoteric vocals, tropical percussion, novel lyrics and soft atmospheres. There's latin and European influences in there too. As a kid it put my head in a different universe, and it still does. This particular track still sounds unique, and it was a brave shift for them to move in this direction, a reminder that making music should be your own journey, not your audience's, and if the fans like it, it's a bonus.

10) Gilberto Gil - Toda Menina Baiana

I was lucky enough to go and see Gilberto Gil play live, when Bent played in São Paulo years ago. What a delight that show was. Blew my hat off. As people may have noticed in Bent and my solo work, you'll often hear subtle latin influences. I didn't discover this song until a year or so, when a friend passed it on. I think I had to listen to it about 100 times just to try and get over it and move on! It's so uplifting it hurts. How could you ever possibly feel down while this song was playing?

11) Inti-Illimani - Mi Chiquita

Another latin fave, this time from Chile. I love the progressions and rhythmical patterns, it always transports me. You've probably noticed this is a common theme in me, desiring to project into another world haha! But this is something I always aim for in my work. Music for me is a form of escapism, when writing or listening, at home or in a club, or driving… wherever.. This track conjures all of that. I don't tend to listen to music that reflects reality and the more sobering facts of life. I'm the same with books and film. I always love the romanticism of being away from it all. Probably why I now live on the rural coast of Ireland. :-)

12) Book Of Love - Modigliani (Requiem Mass)

Time to bring the synths back. Anyone who's heard my first solo album will recognise this piece. It's a version of this track that appears in Planes, Trains and Automobiles, a fave movie of which I referenced in my track "Lament". In my mind, it was John Hughes' masterpiece. I adore it. Watched it so many times I couldn't say. Always loved this track, the digital synths in it went out of fashion in the late 90s/early 00s, but I love them, always have. You can make such lush textures with some of those late 80s machines.

13) Malcolm McLaren - Madame Butterfly

I first heard this track when I was 10-11, and everything in my head stopped. I'd never heard anything like this. It has some kitsch spoken vocals in it, but the operatic vocals set against the synths and drum machines were so original and spellbinding. And upon listening this time, it's so obvious if you listen to Bent or anything I've done how much of an influence this track has been.. in fact I didn't realise it until now! It's all become clear! Haha! Atmospheres, synths, vintage drum machines and beautiful operatic vocals. It just keeps giving and giving, as the track goes on.. glorious. I owe it all to Malcolm McLaren!

14. Prefab Sprout - When Love Breaks Down

Another track from later in the 80s which combines beautiful digital synths and incredible songwriting. It's another song riddled with melancholy yet hope. I love what Thomas Dolby brought to this album, the programming and production is gorgeous. Back in Bent we were lucky enough to have two PPG Wave synths like the one that appears in this album. The pads at the start are a perfect example of that amazing machine.

15) Floex - The Celebration

I first discovered Floex when he did the soundtrack to a beautiful game called Machinarium. This track is from the game Samorost. I've never played it, but I got the soundtrack last year as I knew it 'd be stunning, and this track blew me away. I wanted it to go on my compilation "Sunset Hours Vol 3", but there were restrictions on what could go on it. I'm delighted to put it in this mix. The sound of magic and mystery.

16) Kate Bush - The Morning Fog

Kate Bush…. possibly my biggest musical hero (there's a few). Without a shadow of doubt my favourite female artist of all time, and *never* has been or will be surpassed, in my opinion. She is a rare miracle in music. Her song writing, her performance, her voice, her production, her originality.. has never been touched. When it comes to making music that transports you to another place, I don't think anyone quite does it like Kate. I would literally sell my soul to work with her. The Hounds of Love/ Ninth Wave is such a masterpiece. I didn't realise until many years later that the cellos in Cloudbusting were of course a Fairlight CMI sampling keyboard, not real instruments.. very groundbreaking back then. This album really pushed the boundaries technology-wise, let alone from a songwriting/production perspective. Did I say I liked Kate Bush quite a bit?

17) Penguin Cafe Orchestra - The Ecstacy Of The Dancing Fleas

I first heard this in 91 whilst switching over TV to find the end credits of a film I didn't know. I loved the music I was hearing that much that I dove onto my keyboard and recited it. Months later at art college, a lecturer was talking to me about music, and I told him how I loved Ambient stuff, Trip Hop, The Orb, Steve Reich etc.. and he came in the next day with a tape, The Penguin Cafe Orchestra. He told me to take it, and upon first listening I thought, "this pieces remind me of that music I heard on TV"..of course we couldn't Shazam things then so when I got to the last track to discover I was right, I was very chuffed! Of course later I discovered the film I'd seen was Malcolm (Highly recommended). I adore all of PCO's music. If you don't know all of their work you have a nice surprise waiting for you.

18) Pet Shop Boys - Later Tonight

Returning back to the mid 80s, I thought I should mention the Pet Shop Boys. I fell out of love with their later work, but I grew up loving their first few albums. "Please" in particular is a favourite. My dad used to take me up and down the motorway at night when we went on holiday, and I'd listen to the PSB all the way. When we did the second Bent album, we were contacted by Stephen Hague who asked to produce a track of ours. Considering he'd done the first PSB album, music on Planes Trains and Automobiles and so many other things, we were utterly beside ourselves. Nail had become a dad during that studio session (working on a version of "Beautiful Otherness"), and so it was just myself, Stephen and his mix engineer and programmer sat in the room. I was sat with a hero at the mixing console. Upon the first playback of his version I thought "This reminds me of being on the motorway at night, with my Dad"… and then it hit me.. the whole circle of this journey of being a kid listening to PSBs, and then having my own music worked on by this guy who made their sound.. Well it's something I'm very proud of. West End Girls has a voice at the start which sounds like my mum shouting "SIMON!", to which I always used to open my bedroom door to and scream "WHAT?!".. haha! It was funny telling him. Turns out it was a market he was walking through, recording, and someone was shouting "Sting" at him because he had bleached hair. You heard it here first.. ;-)

19) µ-Ziq - Ethereal Murmurings

Always been a fan of µ-Ziq since I heard his album with Aphex Twin, called Mike And Rich.. I loved that album.. daft as a brush, juvenile, playful, silly, awesome. Nail and I were equally stupid and juvenile in the studio, hence some of the tracks being the way they were. We didn't sit there like chin-strokers, trying to be clever. We just played. We tried to make each other laugh. Even the band name was born out of Nail saying "Millsy your records (that we sampled) are really Bent". But like Mike Paradinas, we loved dreamy beautiful music also. I love this piece. I had to end this mix on a long one.. it just keeps going and going. There's still playful elements in here, but ultimately, it's a haze of perfection. Love it.

Another track making use of the vocoder like the last, and an instrument I've always loved and used. The production in this is off the hook. So much space. So much atmosphere. And Nail (Bent) would always joke about me always liking ANYTHING with modulated wobbly 80s synth chords in it (He's right). This just sums up so many records of that era that I love.

5) The Jones Girls - Nights Over Egypt

Again, another track from a similar era and atmosphere. This track like the last has such seductive, soulful chord structures in, and I'm always a sucker for harmonies. It's so evocative.

6) Plone - Marbles

Plone came out just as we were finishing the first Bent album, as I recall. Nail and I heard this in a record shop (Selectadisc… miss you!) and he laughed because he looked over knowing I'd love it… my face was lit up! It echoes quirky old games.. it conjours up the love between two robots haha! It has a sense of humour without trying to be jokey, and there's definitely a lot of that in Bent and my own work.

7) The Flamingos - I Only Have Eyes For You

Shifting back a few decades I adore this old 50s sound. It's romantic, dreamy, dusty, and the vocals are executed perfectly. I have a passion for vintage reverbs and delay units purely because of music like this. It makes me imagine the room they were in and just transports me to a different place. And yes, the harmonies on this are absolutely off the hook.

8) Beach Boys - All I Wanna Do

Pushing forward a decade, I *love* The Beach Boys. There have been times when I've been literally obsessed with them. They had a beautiful mixture of teenage hope mixed with melancholy, and that combination always resonated with me, which is why a lot of my own work both by myself and in Bent has that a similar combination of emotions. Love, hope, fear, optimism, yearning, reflection. This track came from a later album "Sunflower", and it stayed on loop when I discovered it. Still gets me every time.

9) The Stranglers - Paradise

Feline is my favourite album by The Stranglers by a long shot; probably a view many Stranglers fans would argue with. It was a very different direction for them after their previous work. The whole album has such a strange hybrid of analog synths, esoteric vocals, tropical percussion, novel lyrics and soft atmospheres. There's latin and European influences in there too. As a kid it put my head in a different universe, and it still does. This particular track still sounds unique, and it was a brave shift for them to move in this direction, a reminder that making music should be your own journey, not your audience's, and if the fans like it, it's a bonus.

10) Gilberto Gil - Toda Menina Baiana

I was lucky enough to go and see Gilberto Gil play live, when Bent played in São Paulo years ago. What a delight that show was. Blew my hat off. As people may have noticed in Bent and my solo work, you'll often hear subtle latin influences. I didn't discover this song until a year or so, when a friend passed it on. I think I had to listen to it about 100 times just to try and get over it and move on! It's so uplifting it hurts. How could you ever possibly feel down while this song was playing?

11) Inti-Illimani - Mi Chiquita

Another latin fave, this time from Chile. I love the progressions and rhythmical patterns, it always transports me. You've probably noticed this is a common theme in me, desiring to project into another world haha! But this is something I always aim for in my work. Music for me is a form of escapism, when writing or listening, at home or in a club, or driving… wherever.. This track conjures all of that. I don't tend to listen to music that reflects reality and the more sobering facts of life. I'm the same with books and film. I always love the romanticism of being away from it all. Probably why I now live on the rural coast of Ireland. :-)

12) Book Of Love - Modigliani (Requiem Mass)

Time to bring the synths back. Anyone who's heard my first solo album will recognise this piece. It's a version of this track that appears in Planes, Trains and Automobiles, a fave movie of which I referenced in my track "Lament". In my mind, it was John Hughes' masterpiece. I adore it. Watched it so many times I couldn't say. Always loved this track, the digital synths in it went out of fashion in the late 90s/early 00s, but I love them, always have. You can make such lush textures with some of those late 80s machines.

13) Malcolm McLaren - Madame Butterfly

I first heard this track when I was 10-11, and everything in my head stopped. I'd never heard anything like this. It has some kitsch spoken vocals in it, but the operatic vocals set against the synths and drum machines were so original and spellbinding. And upon listening this time, it's so obvious if you listen to Bent or anything I've done how much of an influence this track has been.. in fact I didn't realise it until now! It's all become clear! Haha! Atmospheres, synths, vintage drum machines and beautiful operatic vocals. It just keeps giving and giving, as the track goes on.. glorious. I owe it all to Malcolm McLaren!

14. Prefab Sprout - When Love Breaks Down

Another track from later in the 80s which combines beautiful digital synths and incredible songwriting. It's another song riddled with melancholy yet hope. I love what Thomas Dolby brought to this album, the programming and production is gorgeous. Back in Bent we were lucky enough to have two PPG Wave synths like the one that appears in this album. The pads at the start are a perfect example of that amazing machine.

15) Floex - The Celebration

I first discovered Floex when he did the soundtrack to a beautiful game called Machinarium. This track is from the game Samorost. I've never played it, but I got the soundtrack last year as I knew it 'd be stunning, and this track blew me away. I wanted it to go on my compilation "Sunset Hours Vol 3", but there were restrictions on what could go on it. I'm delighted to put it in this mix. The sound of magic and mystery.

16) Kate Bush - The Morning Fog

Kate Bush…. possibly my biggest musical hero (there's a few). Without a shadow of doubt my favourite female artist of all time, and *never* has been or will be surpassed, in my opinion. She is a rare miracle in music. Her song writing, her performance, her voice, her production, her originality.. has never been touched. When it comes to making music that transports you to another place, I don't think anyone quite does it like Kate. I would literally sell my soul to work with her. The Hounds of Love/ Ninth Wave is such a masterpiece. I didn't realise until many years later that the cellos in Cloudbusting were of course a Fairlight CMI sampling keyboard, not real instruments.. very groundbreaking back then. This album really pushed the boundaries technology-wise, let alone from a songwriting/production perspective. Did I say I liked Kate Bush quite a bit?

17) Penguin Cafe Orchestra - The Ecstacy Of The Dancing Fleas

I first heard this in 91 whilst switching over TV to find the end credits of a film I didn't know. I loved the music I was hearing that much that I dove onto my keyboard and recited it. Months later at art college, a lecturer was talking to me about music, and I told him how I loved Ambient stuff, Trip Hop, The Orb, Steve Reich etc.. and he came in the next day with a tape, The Penguin Cafe Orchestra. He told me to take it, and upon first listening I thought, "this pieces remind me of that music I heard on TV"..of course we couldn't Shazam things then so when I got to the last track to discover I was right, I was very chuffed! Of course later I discovered the film I'd seen was Malcolm (Highly recommended). I adore all of PCO's music. If you don't know all of their work you have a nice surprise waiting for you.

18) Pet Shop Boys - Later Tonight

Returning back to the mid 80s, I thought I should mention the Pet Shop Boys. I fell out of love with their later work, but I grew up loving their first few albums. "Please" in particular is a favourite. My dad used to take me up and down the motorway at night when we went on holiday, and I'd listen to the PSB all the way. When we did the second Bent album, we were contacted by Stephen Hague who asked to produce a track of ours. Considering he'd done the first PSB album, music on Planes Trains and Automobiles and so many other things, we were utterly beside ourselves. Nail had become a dad during that studio session (working on a version of "Beautiful Otherness"), and so it was just myself, Stephen and his mix engineer and programmer sat in the room. I was sat with a hero at the mixing console. Upon the first playback of his version I thought "This reminds me of being on the motorway at night, with my Dad"… and then it hit me.. the whole circle of this journey of being a kid listening to PSBs, and then having my own music worked on by this guy who made their sound.. Well it's something I'm very proud of. West End Girls has a voice at the start which sounds like my mum shouting "SIMON!", to which I always used to open my bedroom door to and scream "WHAT?!".. haha! It was funny telling him. Turns out it was a market he was walking through, recording, and someone was shouting "Sting" at him because he had bleached hair. You heard it here first.. ;-)

19) µ-Ziq - Ethereal Murmurings

Always been a fan of µ-Ziq since I heard his album with Aphex Twin, called Mike And Rich.. I loved that album.. daft as a brush, juvenile, playful, silly, awesome. Nail and I were equally stupid and juvenile in the studio, hence some of the tracks being the way they were. We didn't sit there like chin-strokers, trying to be clever. We just played. We tried to make each other laugh. Even the band name was born out of Nail saying "Millsy your records (that we sampled) are really Bent". But like Mike Paradinas, we loved dreamy beautiful music also. I love this piece. I had to end this mix on a long one.. it just keeps going and going. There's still playful elements in here, but ultimately, it's a haze of perfection. Love it.

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Go Satta
Title: DD0438
Style: pop, soul, funk, rock
Time: 82 minutes
Date: 2017-10-22

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Go Satta to the Dusk Dubs family...

Go Satta are an Anglo-American pop duo which combines the production talents of Phoenix Love from London (music, instruments, production) and Mo Love from Detroit (music, vocals, lyrics). Between them they have brought their eclectic musical tastes - dance, funk, disco, dub, folk, ambient, progressive - into 20/20 focus with their pop duo Go Satta.

"When you've been been producing genre-busting pop for 30 years, as well as being an obsessive personal fan of all kinds of modern music, choosing an hour's worth of material has been, to say the least, a challenge.

There is music here has that has directly inspired my own music and sound (Lee “Scratch” Perry”, OMD), music that I just dig for one reason or another (Stereolab, Arcade Fire), and songs I consider “perfect tracks” (Radiohead, Stranglers, Geoff Buckley, It's Immaterial).

My criteria for a “perfect track” are: it has the ideal length and arrangement. All performances are exemplary. The production is gorgeous. It is special and unique in some way.

I try to apply the above rules to the music I make in Go Satta as a useful checklist for a great song. It's what forces me to keep songs as short as possible, whilst being as layered and intricate as I can make them. I'm not saying I achieve any kind of perfection all or even some of the time, but it's important to set your bar high as an artist, or why expect anybody else to care?" (Phoenix Love)

**Tracklisting**

1) Go Satta – Patination

(Phoenix) We have chosen two of our own songs for this show. Both of which are our most recent recordings. A good sign, I guess, when you consider we have already recorded 50. I'm really pleased with the rounded sound of this song, and especially the 8 channels of vocals that Mo delivered for the chorus. And that chorus is just epic. It recently won a BBC Introducing Top Pick.

2) Go Satta – Detroit

(Phoenix): I hate repeating myself, so our next song from the studio was this kind of lush, modern take on Motown. It really allows Mo's voice room to breathe, and it was great fun arranging the dynamic and rather odd bridge. We're currently working on a couple of songs to release with this as an EP.

3) The Heptones - Crying Over You

(Phoenix) One of my “perfect” ones. Produced by the legendary Lee “Scratch” Perry in his Black Ark studio, this song contains not one, but two of the greatest reggae basslines of all time. The classic sound of his Black Ark studio is so important to me. So warm and organic. Proper roots reggae feels somehow ancient, as if unearthed by archaeologists.

4) Interpol - Untitled

(Mo Love): When I heard it for the first time it just felt so open; like flying through music or something. It was the first time I had heard music like that, and it blew my mind frankly. So I have a sweet spot for Interpol, always have and always will.

5) It's Immaterial - Ed's Funky Diner

(Phoenix): Another “perfect song”. I'd bet my bottom dollar you've never heard this before. Why wasn't this a worldwide hit? Why does almost nobody know about this band (except perhaps for the single “Driving Away From Home” that charted in the mid 80s)? An exhilarating rush of tuneful pop/rock. You are very welcome. Check out their first album, if you can find it.

6) Jose Gonzalez – Heartbeats

(Phoenix): This is just so, so pretty. I was stunned to learn that it is a cover – of an electro-rock song by The Knives, of all people.

7) Blonde Redhead – Misery Is A Butterfly

(Mo Love): One of those bands that just puts all their emotions into their music. You can feel it, and most of their stuff seems pretty melancholy, but in a most beautiful way. I love the way these guys blend together so great. Their sound is so unique.

8) Radiohead – Nude

(Phoenix): Another “perfect” one. Why? Thom's vocal is exquisite, and the way the song builds to that ending...goosebumps every time. I love songs that change as they go along, musically, and the final coda is one of my favourite passages in modern music. I didn't “get” Radiohead at all for the first half of their career, then In Rainbows came along. It's one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

9) Bon Iver – Holocene

(Phoenix): If I had to take one song to my grave, or a desert island (I'd prefer the island), it would be this. It's possibly my favourite song of all time. A repeating riff over shifting chords always gets me going, and this delivers so beautifully. When the beat and the bassline kick in at 1.20 I get goosebumps all over. This song slays me. I've cried to this, and not just because I'm a sap. Because music. BECAUSE MUSIC.

10) Tom Waits – Little Drop Of Poison

(Mo Love): Tom Waits is one of those bluesy, folky, raw types... and I love his music. I am more of a fan of his faster tunes, but he has such a range of styles. His voice seems to fit all of it, too, in such a strange and beautiful way. I love the way he experiments with instruments, but he achieves it in a cool or beautiful way. I was lucky enough to see him perform live, and it was one of the most amazing shows I've been to. I chose this song, because it's from one of my favorite albums of his, “Orphans”. Epic.

11) Arcade Fire - Ready To Start

(Phoenix): Let's up the energy for a few, kids. This song is the soundtrack to my falling head over heels in love with Mo. I was very much ready to give up my old life and start anew. What a track. What a rush!

12) Stereolab – French Disko

(Phoenix): I used to go to the Old Trout in Windsor in the early 90s to see Stereolab. I had the great privilege to hear them, at point blank range, and at Apollo-rocket sound pressure levels perform this cracker several times when it was newly minted.

13) Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

(Mo Love): Gnarles Barkley are one of the all time greats in my opinion. Cee-Lo Green came outta left field and just blew everyone out of the park with Crazy. That whole album, from start to finish, is like a futuristic version of the Motown style and it was so fresh to hear! His voice is golden, and basically I became a life long fan when I heard that album. One of my absolute favorites.

14) Red House Painters – Mistress

(Phoenix): They had their 15 minutes in the early nineties. This song has a fantastic drum track. Fantastic lyrics too.

15) St Etienne – Avenue

(Phoenix): A respectful nod to a band who came before us on Dusk Dubs. I was dead jealous when they got on Heavenly – a label I'd always fancied for my own music. But fair enough, this is an immaculate, blissed-out 90s take on 1960s psychedelia, with a unique sound, especially the woozy intro, which was recorded inside a car while they were listening to a rough mix of the song. One of my favourite gigs was watching them support the much missed World Of Twist, way back in 1783.

16) Otis Redding – Try A Little Tenderness

(Mo Love): This song... Try a Little Tenderness is just packed full of energy, passion, and amazing vocals. The way it starts off so sweet and sensitive and ends up with Otis Redding pleading in such an epic way just gets me every time. I first heard this song in the movie “Pretty in Pink”, and I immediately went out and bought the CD. This was back in the late 90's and even now I never tire from hearing it.

17) The Stone Roses – Fool's Gold

(Phoenix): It was love at first listen way back when in the heady early nineties when indie, rock and dance all began swirling together. Britpop ascended, culminating in Oasis and Blur metaphorically punching each other in the face on TOTP five years later. Killer bassline and an irresistible groove.

18) The Stranglers - Golden Brown

(Phoenix): A “perfect” one – but you knew that already. This song proves that “pop” music can in fact be anything you say it is. Never before, and never since, has there been a track anything like this. Not just an anomaly in modern music, but for the band, as well. Most of their other stuff is growly and punky. And yes, I know it is a homage to heroin. Don't do it, kids. Why is Trainspotting II an impossible movie? Because if they were real junkies they'd probably all be dead by now. Pretty song though.

19) OMD – Messages

(Phoenix): There it is again, the simple, repeating riff over changing chords. This song grabbed me as a kid and it still sounds driving and vital today. It's ahead of its time: an early precursor of the rock/dance sound, so ubiquitous today. That little synth riff was made by manually octave-shifting a repeating 8th note, they had to do it live through the whole track and apparently getting the timing right was really agonising and took many takes. It strikes me that this song is a distant ancestor of our own “Patination”.

20) Radiohead - Idiotheque

(Mo Love): The sounds in Radiohead's Idioteque are just perfection. I am a die hard fan of Radiohead, and this one is one of my favorites of theirs. The beat is catchy, the words are great (as usual for them), and the way Thom's voice floats over that beat for the chorus is such a nice mix. Then as it transforms from chorus to trippy verse makes it solid. I also love the way Thom uses his voice in pretty much all of their songs. This is a golden winner.

21) Jeff Buckley – Lilac Wine

(Phoenix): Another of my “perfect” songs to finish. Perfect ensemble performance, perfect vocal, perfect length. This is a beautiful cover of a James Shelton song from the taken-way-too-young Buckley.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine

This week we have the pleasure of welcoming Nick Woodmansey to the Dusk Dubs family.

Nick is a drummer / percussionist, producer and DJ whose musical output has been filling the record boxes of some of the most prominent selectors on the London and worldwide scene. As a producer he has worked with some of the best, Soundspecies, Matthew Halsall, Four Tet & Floating Points, Jesica Lauren, Rocketnumbernine, Zara McFarlane, Finn Peters and Ahmed Abdullah being just some of them. During the last 9 years or so, his main focus has been his wonderful space-jazz project 'Emanative', which most recently released the killer single "Ominous Shanti/Black Enchantment" 7", which is still available HERE.

Nick explains what's next for Emanative........

"I'm working on a new record for Jazzman records. This will be released early next year and involves a whole bunch of amazing musicians and artists many of whom i've been working with for quite a few years now.

I wanted to do a mix that acknowledges and shines a light on them as individuals. They also happen to be good friends and very cool people.

Big love to the Emanative band !"

**Tracklisting**

1) Jessica Lauren - Ajua

Ajua - taken from Jessica Lauren's beautiful soundscape of an album 'Film'.

I first heard this piece before we started working together, and I knew I wanted us to explore more of this side of her playing.

Analog synth and tape delay heaven! All because of this we've ended up creating so much mad crazy shit as well as serene and spatial jazz just like this next Jessica Lauren Four track...

2) Jessica Lauren - White Mountain

White Mountain is another of my favourite Jessica tracks, this one is deep and cinematic, with upright bass and layers upon layers of killer percussion. It's been impossible to ever tire of this one, it still takes me out there! She has a mind-bendingly good new album coming out early next year on Freestyle Records.

3) Rocketnumbernine - Black And Blue

Black and Blue is taken from the Rocketnumbernine EP with Steel Drummer on it... love everything brothers Ben and Tom Page do with their 'live' synth versus drums experiments. Tom is also a fellow trustee of the Steve Reid Foundation, and he knew and hung out with drummer Steve Reid himself.

Ben has collaborated with me before on our 'Over EP'. We've been working on some new stuff for the new record, some subtle and tasty electronics in his signature style. We also worked together on a forthcoming remix for Tommaso Cappellato.

4) Collocutor - Everywhere (Radio Edit)

Everywhere is my favourite from the most recent Collocutor album 'The Search', and I found out the other night that it's also one of Tamar Osborn's, whilst we were playing records at Brilliant Corners. For me it has an almost underlying and implied hip-hop attitude, whithout the obviousness of heavy beats.

5) Collocutor - Gozo

Gozo is taken from the first Collocutor album Instead, the conga's on this always sound so amazing to me. A percussion extravaganza, with the most amazing horns taking influence from Indian, Arabic, African and Classical music all at the same time. I remember Tamar telling me she was writing and working on some of her own material whilst we were having a coffee break during rehearsals for playing at Dingwalls with Gilles Peterson and Patrick Forge. Next thing I heard, she had been in and recorded it and wanted me to help produce and mix the record. Both of these tracks also feature Suman Joshi on bass, as does this next one...

6) Dele Sosimi (feat. Prince Fatty & Nostalgia 77) - Dance Together (Dub)

Dele Sosimi's Dance Together (Dub) is an amazing dubbed out afrobeat track (been in my record bag ever since I was given a copy by Dom Servini / Wah Wah 45s) Tamar and Suman both play for Dele, they both have that discipline and soul that you only get from playing these kind of heavy and intensive grooves for hours at these late night sessions. I have invited the man himself to join us on a collaboration for a kind of Afro Jazz inspired piece for the record, so fingers crossed!

7) Sarathy Korwar - Lost Parade

Lost Parade is Sarathy Korwar getting spacey with his Tabla and effects. Taken from his debut album for Ninja Tune. Love this!

8) Hector Plimmer - Shiver (Sarathy Korwar Remix)

Sarathy has recently done this killer remix of Shiver by Hector Plimmer (released by Albert's Favourites) They are both awardee's of Steve Reid Foundation funding and mentorship, and both very well deserving and productive ever since that point. Both have done beautiful and classic cutting edge albums.

Sarathy is playing mainly percussion on my new record, but we got him on my drums for a track too, a serious kit drummer!

9) Vince Vella - Cosmic Dog (Beatless)

Cosmic Dog is from one of my other percussionists of choice for this album. Vince Vella, a producer and percussionist with a deep knowledge and understanding of Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and Tropical rhythms. Love his vibe and creativeness as a percussionist, and he's a bad-ass DJ as well, we've done some good nights together.

Philip Harper is the other bad man percussionist that i'm always so happy to have on board.

10) The Pyramids - Nebulosity

Nebulosity is from the main man Idris Ackamoor of the Pyramids. We're talking about doing another collaboration together, and as long as the stars allign and permit the barriers of space and time to disintegrate and allow this to happen i'm sure this will be as good as the last time, when we did Pharoah Sanders' Hum Allah together also featuring another legend, percussionist Kenneth Nash. I love The Pyramids to death. We were lucky enough to do a couple of gigs supporting them at Cafe Oto last year, the guys are all so chilled out that it made for such a cool and creative vibe.

11) Liz Elensky - Distractions

Distractions is a track for I produced for Liz Elensky. It also features Jessica, Tamar and myself. I'm happy to say there will be more coming soon from Liz, on the new album as well as some of her solo material with myself and Geoff Woolley. Been too long since we heard her voice on something. Very excited about this.

12) Ahu - To: Love. (Dimlite Remix)

I'm really happy to say that we have Ahu singing with us once again. This track To: Love. she did with Dimlite is still mindblowing, as is another classic collab she did...

13) Flying Lotus - RobertaFlack (feat. Ahu)

RobertaFlack with Flying Lotus... It's nice to be working on something new with her. It's been a while since Turn Your Lights On made it's way onto a Brownswood Bubblers compilation.

14) Ben Hadwen/Emanative - Oshi Ga Puri

Ben Hadwen's Oshi Ga Puri is a track I produced for him earlier this year. I love everything Ben touches, for example his horn arrangement on Turn Your Lights On. This recent Bass Clarinet jam was really fun.

15) Emanative - Interstellar Outerlude

On the subject of Ben's horn arrangements... this is a little interlude (or rather outerlude) he created for our first album Space.]]>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Mat Hoods
Title: DD0436
Style: Soul, Folk. Funk, Downetmpo, Big Band
Time: 63 minutes
Date: 2017-10-07

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Mr. Mat Hoods to the Dusk Dubs family.....

"Late nights ebb away on the early morning tide, familiar shapes and patterns ripple over sand washed in harmony with the ocean. I’ve left my studio, the records, the music and taken myself a few streets away to sit by the sea, reflect on my time as an ambivalent spectator on my fortieth revolution around the sun.

In previous mixes I focused on the transition between sunsets to early evening, the shifts in sounds and anticipation of things to come. With this mix I wanted a more 5am feel, those slow hours before dawn when the conversations drift off into listening to music with a story. And what a story…

So I looked back at the foundations of my musical influences. From folk music to synthesisers and the rest all jumbled up with it. Find a good spot, immerse yourself and hit play. Works really well about 24 minutes before sunrise for full synchronisation."

**Tracklisting**

1) Lani Hall - Wherever I May Find Him (A&M 1972)

Taken from Lani Hall‘s awesome debut album, Sun Down Lady. It was difficult to decide which track to include as they all pretty special but I settled upon her version of Simon & Garfunkel - For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her, a track I grew up listening to thanks to my mum.

2) Jackson C Frank - Blues Run The Game (Columbia 1965)

More Paul Simon influence here with the beautifully melancholy song by Jackon C Frank. I won’t go into his life here, but its safe to say experiences are reflected in music. I’d always been familiar with the Simon & Garfunkel version, then later Bert Jansch and Nick Drake’s versions. It is the original version that has stayed with my soul the longest.

3) Kings Of Convenience - Summer On The Westhill (Source 2001)

I love the cello in this song, slowly rising and genteelly lulling you away from slumber. Taken from their 2001 lp, Quiet Is The New Loud.

4) John Martyn - Go Down Easy (Island Records 1973)

I couldn’t leave John Martyn out of this mix. I first heard his music when I was around fifteen years old, with worn out cassette recordings of Solid Air, London Conversation and Sunday’s Child. Thankfully adult me replaced these with original vinyl pressings. This one is taken from the Australian pressing of Solid Air.

5) The Doobie Brothers - Flying Cloud (Warner Bros. Records 1974)

A short but nothing short of perfect track from The Doobie Brothers transitioning away from my folk music influences and more into synthesizer led territory.

6) Barefoot Jerry - Friends (Warner Bros. Records 1972)

This record is a sure fire winner for any gig. Taken from their 1972 self titled LP. I think it may have been Balearic Mike that put me onto this one… Definitely needs some fader adjustment half way through the record though, gets a bit loud at the end.

7) Moonlight - Am I Really Here (Warner Bros. Records 1977)

Can’t tell you much about this record apart from I found it in a job lot (around 2000 7” singles) I purchased from a collector. They had been badly stored and most without sleeves. I did however find some gems in there like this one. I can say they were a psych rock band from Australia and this was a B side. Was reissued on a comp of Australian psych rock earlier this year.

8) Roslyn & Charles - Everything Must Change (Cheri Records 1981)

You are probably more familiar with George Benson’s version but here is a stunning gospel version by Roslyn & Charles. I bought this record from a dealer in a car park in Levenshulme after asking him to bring me any gospel he finds. Beautifully uplifting, the prefect early morning record if you don’t mind people singing about religion. There are some great tracks on that LP.

9) Maxine Nightingale - Get It Up For Love (United Artists 1977)

Here is a track that manages to bridge the gap between Ned Doheny’s original and Tata Vega’s excellent disco version. Maxine Nightingale’s slunk out sleazy version of Get It Up For Love. Perfect late night tackle

10) Willis Alan Ramsey - Muskrat Candlelight (A&M Records 1972)

My soul is in love with this song. I’ve known America’s version for years but only heard the original a few months after moving to New Zealand. The backing vocals and mellow Vibraphone are provided by Leon Russell. Incidentally Lani Hall did her own version of this song with her husband Herb Alpert called Sun Down, it omit’s the joys of a Muskrat’s courtship display though…

11) Destroyer - Bay Of Pigs (Dead Oceans 2014)

Hauntingly poetic, Destroyer’s ode to a life derailed by drink. Quite possibly what a collaboration between Dylan Thomas and Delia Derbyshire would have sounded like. One of my treasured vinyl pressings and many thanks to my good friend Matt Crane for seeing it and buying it for me.

12) Kauai High Jazz Rock Ensemble - Peace On Earth (RPC)

An Incredible recording! Full credit to Roger Bong for finding this one. A High School band from Lihue, Hawaii. Someone needs to repress this album, if this track is anything to judge by…

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Mr. Mat Hoods to the Dusk Dubs family.....

"Late nights ebb away on the early morning tide, familiar shapes and patterns ripple over sand washed in harmony with the ocean. I’ve left my studio, the records, the music and taken myself a few streets away to sit by the sea, reflect on my time as an ambivalent spectator on my fortieth revolution around the sun.

In previous mixes I focused on the transition between sunsets to early evening, the shifts in sounds and anticipation of things to come. With this mix I wanted a more 5am feel, those slow hours before dawn when the conversations drift off into listening to music with a story. And what a story…

So I looked back at the foundations of my musical influences. From folk music to synthesisers and the rest all jumbled up with it. Find a good spot, immerse yourself and hit play. Works really well about 24 minutes before sunrise for full synchronisation."

**Tracklisting**

1) Lani Hall - Wherever I May Find Him (A&M 1972)

Taken from Lani Hall‘s awesome debut album, Sun Down Lady. It was difficult to decide which track to include as they all pretty special but I settled upon her version of Simon & Garfunkel - For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her, a track I grew up listening to thanks to my mum.

2) Jackson C Frank - Blues Run The Game (Columbia 1965)

More Paul Simon influence here with the beautifully melancholy song by Jackon C Frank. I won’t go into his life here, but its safe to say experiences are reflected in music. I’d always been familiar with the Simon & Garfunkel version, then later Bert Jansch and Nick Drake’s versions. It is the original version that has stayed with my soul the longest.

3) Kings Of Convenience - Summer On The Westhill (Source 2001)

I love the cello in this song, slowly rising and genteelly lulling you away from slumber. Taken from their 2001 lp, Quiet Is The New Loud.

4) John Martyn - Go Down Easy (Island Records 1973)

I couldn’t leave John Martyn out of this mix. I first heard his music when I was around fifteen years old, with worn out cassette recordings of Solid Air, London Conversation and Sunday’s Child. Thankfully adult me replaced these with original vinyl pressings. This one is taken from the Australian pressing of Solid Air.

5) The Doobie Brothers - Flying Cloud (Warner Bros. Records 1974)

A short but nothing short of perfect track from The Doobie Brothers transitioning away from my folk music influences and more into synthesizer led territory.

6) Barefoot Jerry - Friends (Warner Bros. Records 1972)

This record is a sure fire winner for any gig. Taken from their 1972 self titled LP. I think it may have been Balearic Mike that put me onto this one… Definitely needs some fader adjustment half way through the record though, gets a bit loud at the end.

7) Moonlight - Am I Really Here (Warner Bros. Records 1977)

Can’t tell you much about this record apart from I found it in a job lot (around 2000 7” singles) I purchased from a collector. They had been badly stored and most without sleeves. I did however find some gems in there like this one. I can say they were a psych rock band from Australia and this was a B side. Was reissued on a comp of Australian psych rock earlier this year.

8) Roslyn & Charles - Everything Must Change (Cheri Records 1981)

You are probably more familiar with George Benson’s version but here is a stunning gospel version by Roslyn & Charles. I bought this record from a dealer in a car park in Levenshulme after asking him to bring me any gospel he finds. Beautifully uplifting, the prefect early morning record if you don’t mind people singing about religion. There are some great tracks on that LP.

9) Maxine Nightingale - Get It Up For Love (United Artists 1977)

Here is a track that manages to bridge the gap between Ned Doheny’s original and Tata Vega’s excellent disco version. Maxine Nightingale’s slunk out sleazy version of Get It Up For Love. Perfect late night tackle

10) Willis Alan Ramsey - Muskrat Candlelight (A&M Records 1972)

My soul is in love with this song. I’ve known America’s version for years but only heard the original a few months after moving to New Zealand. The backing vocals and mellow Vibraphone are provided by Leon Russell. Incidentally Lani Hall did her own version of this song with her husband Herb Alpert called Sun Down, it omit’s the joys of a Muskrat’s courtship display though…

11) Destroyer - Bay Of Pigs (Dead Oceans 2014)

Hauntingly poetic, Destroyer’s ode to a life derailed by drink. Quite possibly what a collaboration between Dylan Thomas and Delia Derbyshire would have sounded like. One of my treasured vinyl pressings and many thanks to my good friend Matt Crane for seeing it and buying it for me.

12) Kauai High Jazz Rock Ensemble - Peace On Earth (RPC)

An Incredible recording! Full credit to Roger Bong for finding this one. A High School band from Lihue, Hawaii. Someone needs to repress this album, if this track is anything to judge by…

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome, legendary DJ Colin Dale to the Dusk Dubs family.....

It all began in 1982 when Colin who was then working as a banker in the city of London began to warm up for Hip-Hop supremo "Tim Westwood" at the cult Gossips nightclub in Soho playing cuts like Soul Sonic Force, Strafe, Shannon and Donna Summer. “"Steve Walsh didn't turn up at Gossip that night and Tim asked me to do his spot, and it just started from there.  I remember thinking and being amazed that I could make such and such amounts of money for spinning records, really enjoy it, and it wasn't hard work or getting my hands dirty.

In 1985 Colin was one of the key members of the pirate radio station Kiss FM and soon after left banking to pursue a career in music and the "Abstrakt Dance" radio show was born. For 16 years "Abstrakt Dance" was a ground-breaking show which quite simply bought Techno to the masses. Guests on the show included all the Underground Resistance crew, Hawtin, Angel, Pullen, Garnier, Saunderson, Craig, May, Cox......the list goes on and on.. the show was put on the internet in 1993 and Colin became a household name in Techno circles Worldwide. It was the first ever Techno show to be transmitted live with visuals and it was revolutionary.

It was around this time that Colin teamed up with Brenda Russell and Colin Faver to do the "Deep Space" series of clubs in London which again saw the team take London's Techno scene to new highs. Other club nights that Colin has been involved in include Electric Boogie, Vapour Space, Deep and Jelly.

Colin helped launch Knowledge at the SW1 Club in Victoria, London on Wednesday with Colin Faver and Jane Howard of Serious Business. It quickly became one of London's biggest mid-week clubs dedicated to the 'Abstract Sound'. He has been able to take his sound worldwide to San Francisco, New York, Washington, Japan and Toronto. He has toured with Jesus Jones and travelled extensively throughout Europe, especially Germany.

Production wise Colin has recorded for Perfecto on their very first LP, Obsessive, Logic, Sensei, Visitor, Abstrakt Dance, Swag, Laus and Alien Funk amongst others as well as 7 well received mix compilation LPs for various major record labels. (see discography*) As well as being a regular guest at clubs such as Fabric, Rex, Pasha (Buenos Aires) and Love (Brazil)

Colin has toured the Worlds clubs extensively.....Japan, China, Russia, Australia and Eastern Europe.........Colin is a favourite the World over. Looking back Colin has played some of the Worlds best parties.....Dance Valley, Full Moon, Tribal Gathering, Sunrise, Energy, Love Parade, Automatik and of course Rage @ Heaven.

Colin continues to DJ at all the major clubs and events pushing his Tech, Minimal and Electro House sound with occasional injections of classics from the past.

"I've been a collector of music for more than 40 years now so in all honesty when it came to getting the tracks together I didn't know where to start as over the years I've followed Disco, Soul & Funk, the UK Jazz funk movement, Boogie, Electro, House & Acid and more. The backbone of all the above music is that they all have a strong dance ethos......music that was made to be heard in clubs.

I started clubbing seriously around the age of 15 and was also a hardcore collector of vinyl as well. Back then you could pick up great albums that had been deleted and had the right hand corner cut off..... you could pick them up for a fraction of the cover cost. I'd frequent record shops like Groove records in Soho, City Sounds, Bluebird, Red and Tony's record shop which was in the entrance of Brixton Tube Station.

Back in the day, it was all about Spats, Gossips, Electric Ballroom, 100 club, Crackers, Lyceum, Maximus, Cheeky Pete's, Wandsworth Town Hall and a whole host of others Clubs. Back then it was all about 'Boogie' music for me......tougher edged soul/funk made purely to dance to.

I've chosen these tracks as I was heavily into dancing as well as playing these sounds in my early 20's. It was also a time that lots of pirate stations were

flourishing in London, there were fantastic warehouse parties and the music was so great that we still talk about it in hallowed terms today in 2017.

Here are some of my favourite's from back then, which have stood the test of time, and I still play and revere today."

"I have put together a selection of tracks that cover past and present. Some are tracks that started me on my musical journey, others I have hunted out along the way. Some have been a revelation and others just uplifting.There is a diversity amongst the tracks chosen all held together, in the main, with a thread of jazz.

Hope you dig it."

**Tracklisting**

1) Johnny Hammond - Back to the Projects

This is from the Gamblers Life LP which features and is produced by the Mizell brothers. Quite frankly this whole session could have quite easily become a homage to the brothers Mizell as my love for their sound is great. They have that signature sound which just lifts you up, which is perfect and as music should do.

2) Bo Diddley - Bad side of the Moon

I love these LP’s where the true originators hit the 1970’s and made a funky LP. It is documented that when Muddy Waters did Electric Mud he wasn’t feeling it at the time. I don’t know if he changed his mind or what Bo thought of this, but it’s a really funky outing with some great breaks, weird interludes and Bo doing his thing.

3) Tangerine Dream - Cloudburst Flight

I first got into TD when I was heavily involved in the drum and bass scene and their LP’s were always a great source for sampling. Very electronic in places with a mixture of acoustic instruments this track builds up into some great riffs and a nice straight beat. It verges on the 1980’s theme tune vibe, which the Dream have been known to write also.

4) Duke Ellington - Didjeridoo

I heard this whilst I was driving along one evening in the not too distant past. The break just got me from the start and I had to pull the motor over and listen. It finished, the DJ said what it was and before I could get my seatbelt back on, it had been purchased from Discogs.

5) The Summit - Erno’s Theme

The world I musically inhabit these days involves a lot of hip hop instrumentals of one vibe or another. This is on the laidback jazzy one and is by DJ Drinks going under his The Summit guise. It’s taken from the LP Nocturnes and is more than worth hunting down if you can.

6) The Mothers Of Invention - My Guitar wants to kill your Mama

An amalgamation of madness from Frank Zappa and co. Really hard to pin it down to any one thing, which is what I like. Its funky, mad, a bit weird, what’s not to love.

7) Break The Limits - Nectarine

I first hear this tune coming out of my radio in 1990. It was being played on a local pirate station and was the start of something. I was a hip-hop boy whose ears were being pricked by this new break injected music. This was about a year before I first went into a studio and looking back is probably one of the defining moments for my early productions which would eventually lead to embryonic drum and bass.

8) Roy Ayers And Wayne Henderson - No Deposit, No Return

I have said it before, I could happily listen to just Roy Ayers all day long. Roy just has that killer vibe and the key changes are to die for plus its funky as hell. Roy and Wayne teamed up for an LP and this is lifted from that LP. It’s a great jazz funk moment and it’s a lot of the stuff that I listen to now which falls across the ‘Jazz’ genre or related.

9) Jonzun Crew - Pack Jam (Look out for the OVC)

This is where it all really started for me, first heard this on the incredible Crucial Electro 2, which I purchased on tape from a provincial Boots or Woolworths. The first real music purchase I made contained this track. The whole thing was next level to my 11-year-old ears. This is a 12inch cut that I turned up last year in California.

10) Floating points - Peroration 6

This is a more contemporary lick. I became aware of FP via Peterson’s 6 music show and purchased the LP on the back of that. It’s all different styles some housey, some beaty, some ambient wash business but all with a common strand. This one builds into a crescendo.

11) Arthur Verocai - Presenta Gregor

This is off his grail LP of the same name. A superior repressing of the original which changes hands for big dough. Anyway, it’s not the money that’s important this whole LP is the bomb, I could have just played the whole album. The hype sticker on the front mentions Madlib saying he could probably listen to this everyday forever, he isn’t lying.

13) Catalin Tircolea - Sesame Street

I was at a record fair last year and the guy who was flicking through the jazz next to me said “have you heard this”? To be fair I thought he was taking the piss because the dude on the sleeve had a big set of pan pipes. But to be fair I think his take on this cut is pretty good as with all his other renditions. Do judge a cover by its pan pipes.

14) A Certain Ratio - Shack Up

A cover of Banbarra’s Shack Up by Factory Records Punk Funk merchants ACR. The original is a breakbeat sample standard but I really love ACR’s slightly irreverent take on it too.

15) Armed Dukes - Stokey

Towards the end of last year, I was lucky enough to release an LP called Quadrant through my MUJ label. It was a stellar hip-hop instrumental affair by these guys who are DJ Drinks and Joe Cain. It’s a remarkable piece of work and this is one of the tracks from it.

16) Suburban Knight - The Warning

I have a great love for Detroit techno, the label Underground Resistance and also the guy making the noises on this release, Suburban Knight. It’s a winning trio in my mind and the Techno that has come out of Detroit has always been a major influence to me and has inspired many of my productions over the years.

17) The Osmonds - War in Heaven

This is from an LP called The Plan by of all people The Osmonds. This is them doing a Psych rock style LP which is well worth hunting down or bagging if you see it in the field. This is the intro to the LP and kind of covers everything you are going to hear. The Osmonds are much maligned but this is a great LP, their Crazy Horses is a mad record too and the LP Love Me for A Reason is full of breaks.

18) Sun Ra - Where Pathways Meet

More jazz, this time from the interstellar, space travelling Sun Ra. This is one of his more straightened out pieces and is just killer. No real noodling just pure Sun Ra distilled into one hell of a track. Solid drum and percussion work, incredible sax and sublime key work. My favourite Sun Ra piece.

19) Shuggie Otis - XL 30

This is Psychedelic soul man Shuggie doing what sounds to me house music back in 1974. I became aware of this track when I bought a repress of Inspiration Information around the year 2000. An incredible track for the time and totally off whack with anything else on the LP, a proper curve ball.]]>

Artist: Tony Justice
Title: DD0434
Style: Soul, Jazz, Rare Groove, Electro and Techno
Time: 71 minutes
Date: 2017-09-24

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Tony Justice to the DuskDubs family....

"I have put together a selection of tracks that cover past and present. Some are tracks that started me on my musical journey, others I have hunted out along the way. Some have been a revelation and others just uplifting.There is a diversity amongst the tracks chosen all held together, in the main, with a thread of jazz.

Hope you dig it."

**Tracklisting**

1) Johnny Hammond - Back to the Projects

This is from the Gamblers Life LP which features and is produced by the Mizell brothers. Quite frankly this whole session could have quite easily become a homage to the brothers Mizell as my love for their sound is great. They have that signature sound which just lifts you up, which is perfect and as music should do.

2) Bo Diddley - Bad side of the Moon

I love these LP’s where the true originators hit the 1970’s and made a funky LP. It is documented that when Muddy Waters did Electric Mud he wasn’t feeling it at the time. I don’t know if he changed his mind or what Bo thought of this, but it’s a really funky outing with some great breaks, weird interludes and Bo doing his thing.

3) Tangerine Dream - Cloudburst Flight

I first got into TD when I was heavily involved in the drum and bass scene and their LP’s were always a great source for sampling. Very electronic in places with a mixture of acoustic instruments this track builds up into some great riffs and a nice straight beat. It verges on the 1980’s theme tune vibe, which the Dream have been known to write also.

4) Duke Ellington - Didjeridoo

I heard this whilst I was driving along one evening in the not too distant past. The break just got me from the start and I had to pull the motor over and listen. It finished, the DJ said what it was and before I could get my seatbelt back on, it had been purchased from Discogs.

5) The Summit - Erno’s Theme

The world I musically inhabit these days involves a lot of hip hop instrumentals of one vibe or another. This is on the laidback jazzy one and is by DJ Drinks going under his The Summit guise. It’s taken from the LP Nocturnes and is more than worth hunting down if you can.

6) The Mothers Of Invention - My Guitar wants to kill your Mama

An amalgamation of madness from Frank Zappa and co. Really hard to pin it down to any one thing, which is what I like. Its funky, mad, a bit weird, what’s not to love.

7) Break The Limits - Nectarine

I first hear this tune coming out of my radio in 1990. It was being played on a local pirate station and was the start of something. I was a hip-hop boy whose ears were being pricked by this new break injected music. This was about a year before I first went into a studio and looking back is probably one of the defining moments for my early productions which would eventually lead to embryonic drum and bass.

8) Roy Ayers And Wayne Henderson - No Deposit, No Return

I have said it before, I could happily listen to just Roy Ayers all day long. Roy just has that killer vibe and the key changes are to die for plus its funky as hell. Roy and Wayne teamed up for an LP and this is lifted from that LP. It’s a great jazz funk moment and it’s a lot of the stuff that I listen to now which falls across the ‘Jazz’ genre or related.

9) Jonzun Crew - Pack Jam (Look out for the OVC)

This is where it all really started for me, first heard this on the incredible Crucial Electro 2, which I purchased on tape from a provincial Boots or Woolworths. The first real music purchase I made contained this track. The whole thing was next level to my 11-year-old ears. This is a 12inch cut that I turned up last year in California.

10) Floating points - Peroration 6

This is a more contemporary lick. I became aware of FP via Peterson’s 6 music show and purchased the LP on the back of that. It’s all different styles some housey, some beaty, some ambient wash business but all with a common strand. This one builds into a crescendo.

11) Arthur Verocai - Presenta Gregor

This is off his grail LP of the same name. A superior repressing of the original which changes hands for big dough. Anyway, it’s not the money that’s important this whole LP is the bomb, I could have just played the whole album. The hype sticker on the front mentions Madlib saying he could probably listen to this everyday forever, he isn’t lying.

13) Catalin Tircolea - Sesame Street

I was at a record fair last year and the guy who was flicking through the jazz next to me said “have you heard this”? To be fair I thought he was taking the piss because the dude on the sleeve had a big set of pan pipes. But to be fair I think his take on this cut is pretty good as with all his other renditions. Do judge a cover by its pan pipes.

14) A Certain Ratio - Shack Up

A cover of Banbarra’s Shack Up by Factory Records Punk Funk merchants ACR. The original is a breakbeat sample standard but I really love ACR’s slightly irreverent take on it too.

15) Armed Dukes - Stokey

Towards the end of last year, I was lucky enough to release an LP called Quadrant through my MUJ label. It was a stellar hip-hop instrumental affair by these guys who are DJ Drinks and Joe Cain. It’s a remarkable piece of work and this is one of the tracks from it.

16) Suburban Knight - The Warning

I have a great love for Detroit techno, the label Underground Resistance and also the guy making the noises on this release, Suburban Knight. It’s a winning trio in my mind and the Techno that has come out of Detroit has always been a major influence to me and has inspired many of my productions over the years.

17) The Osmonds - War in Heaven

This is from an LP called The Plan by of all people The Osmonds. This is them doing a Psych rock style LP which is well worth hunting down or bagging if you see it in the field. This is the intro to the LP and kind of covers everything you are going to hear. The Osmonds are much maligned but this is a great LP, their Crazy Horses is a mad record too and the LP Love Me for A Reason is full of breaks.

18) Sun Ra - Where Pathways Meet

More jazz, this time from the interstellar, space travelling Sun Ra. This is one of his more straightened out pieces and is just killer. No real noodling just pure Sun Ra distilled into one hell of a track. Solid drum and percussion work, incredible sax and sublime key work. My favourite Sun Ra piece.

19) Shuggie Otis - XL 30

This is Psychedelic soul man Shuggie doing what sounds to me house music back in 1974. I became aware of this track when I bought a repress of Inspiration Information around the year 2000.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape we invite back producer, label owner, vinyl distributor, record shop owner, DJ and all round music man, Mr Phillip "Basement' Well to the Dusk Dubs family. Following on from his earlier volume in the year, DD0414 "Jazz - The Early Years", Phil compiles for us.... (Part 2) "Rare Jazz and Soulful Grooves".

"My biggest problem was picking a selection from a collection that spans from the 50s to today and in the tens of 1000s, so I decided to start at the beginning and select tracks that took me ages to track down and still love today even with the crackles, tunes which are great to just sit back, relax and listen to, so I hope you love the tunes as much as I.

I have been collecting records since I was a young lad, my first real passion was for Northern Soul which I travelled the Country to hear through my teens and early 20s and danced at Wigan Casino, Blackpool Mecca, Peterborough, Yate, Stafford, Prestatyn, St Ives and many many more and still collecting rare soul today. I also loved the sounds of Motown, Philadelphia & Disco whilst in my teens and then into the Jazz Funk Scene which is when my love for Jazz in all its forms exploded.

Growing up listening to DJs such as Chris Brown & Johnnie Walker at The Belvadere on a Sunday lunchtime in Ascot and then in the evening at Frenchies at the Cambridge hotel in Camberley as well as Robbie Vincent on GLR radio gave me an amazing eductaion. When I opened my first record shop The Record Basement in 1987 with my partner Pete Sinclair I was again given an eductaion in the sweet and rare soul sounds of the 70s and 80s and introduced into so many artists that to this day still excite me when I play their records.

The shop went onto becoming very famous during the Rave and Drum and Bass scenes, and it was in 1990 that I launched my label Basement Records. I launched my first Distribution Company Vinyl Distribution in 1990 and was instrumental in pushing through and financing the early Drum and Bass sound. I also launched Nu Urban Music in 2000, which was well known for getting behind the 'Jump Up' style of DnB, until I retired due to an accident in 2012. I am now semi retired and running a small shop 'Urban Vinyl' in my hometown of Weymouth and still DJing.

This selection features Jazz and Soul Rare Grooves, that grabbed my attention whilst collecting in the 1970s and 1980s. Many of these were so hard to find back in the day but a lot have had reissues over the last few years so can be owned for prices that are much lighter on the pocket with a few acceptions which command £1000 upwards to own original copies."

"I was honoured and delighted to be ask to provide another soundtrack by the Dusk Dubs posse. To be honest providing the notes has proven more difficult then sorting the tunes!

There was always music being played in my house as a kid. I can thank both my parents for my appreciation of music in its many diverse forms.

Growing up with such exposure led me to have a great appreciation for all types of music which has only increased with the years. I wanted to do something a little bit different then my last outing, so i've gone for a more popularist offering.

I've always loved a great Pop record- a tune that is catchy, got a great hook, but at the same time is pushing the envelope.

You've got to know where you came from to move forward- All of these next records, captured my soul, and took my musical education into a way that i could identify as more my own.

This selection is dedicated to all those people with whom i've danced over the years. Heartfelt thanks.

I hope you enjoy the ride"

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: GiGi Masin
Title: DD0431
Style: Eclectic, chill, deep
Time: 46 minutes
Date: 2017-09-03

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week, we welcome Gigi Masin to the Dusk Dubs family.

Gigi was born in Venice, Italy on 24th October 1955, he has been part of the music scene since the early 70’s and a radio dj with the most important radio stations. From 1978 he has been establishing a collaboration with poet/writer Massimo Palladino, a venture that had been permitting to carry out many and wonderefull pieces for theatre, television, radio broadcasting, where music and voice walk hand in hand, challenging and provoking themselves as well.

Sounds, tapes, turntables, live electronics are the ground where scene music moves. As musician/director Gigi Masin had a lot of theatrical, cinema and musical collaborations. First solo album 'WIND' has been published in 1986. “LES NOUVELLES MUSIQUES DU CHAMBRE” for the Belgian label Sub Rosa (1989) with Charles Hayward, “WIND COLLECTOR” (1991) with Alessandro Monti. Recent works include “LONTANO” (2001) and “MOLTITUDINE IN LABIRINTO” (2003, with Giuseppe Caprioli) produced by Giovanni Antognozzi for Ants Records and much much more.

For this volume, Gigi presents to the listener a collection of records that are very close to his heart, whilst illustrating why he is held in such high regard amonsgt the ambient/electronica community as one of its leading musicans... simply fautless.

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Chris The Glove Taylor
Title: DD0430
Style: Hip Hop, Electro, Rap, LA, West Coast, Funk, Soul
Time: 144 minutes
Date: 2017-08-13

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week, Dusk Dubs is humbled and very proud to welcome a very special guest to the family, a pioneering DJ, a producer and artist in his own right, the hip-hop legend that is....Chris "THE GLOVE" Taylor.

Chris has wholeheartedly embraced the Dusk Dubs ethos, and dug through his exhaustive record crates to collate a bunch of tracks that influenced him during those informative years and as a young man....

What he refers to as the "Songs That Shaped His Career".

Known as "The Glove", Chris is a legendary pioneering DJ and producer on the West Coast hip-hop scene. In the 1980s, alongside Egyptian Lover and then later DJ Aladdin and Bobcat they pioneered the new electro/hip-hop scene, with The Glove residing as the resident DJ of the world famous Club Radio.

He appeared in the influential movies 'Breakin' and 'Breakin 2' as himself alongside Ice-T. Cutting his producer teeth on the soundtrack, gave him his first multi platinum sales awards. Other production credits include "Reckless" (Ice T & Dave Storrs), "Tibetan Jam" (Chris "The Glove" Taylor), Go off (Ice T& Dave Storrs) and the classic.... "Iticiban Scratch" (Chris "The Glove" Taylor.)

Into the 90's and Glove's R&B/Swing group Po' Broke & Lonely sign to Ruthless Records and he begins working with Dr. Dre. This relationship developed and spawned multiple Grammy Awards and millions in record sales with artists such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Ice Cube and Xzibit, and production work on the ground breaking "The Chronic" and "Doggystyle" with uncredited productions on some of Dr. Dre's biggest hits like "California Love" and "Stranded on Death Row.

As part of Death Row Records and The Aftermath imprint, Glove produced several artists and songs along with Dr. Dre including the hit singles: "Phone Tap" by "The Firm" which featured Nas, AZ and Foxy Brown, "Doggy Dogg World" by Snoop Doggy Dogg, "Hello" by N.W.A., "Xplosive" by Dr. Dre and much more.

The Glove has been music supervisor for US television series "Played By Fame", "Tiny & Toya", "Frankie & Neffie" and "Monica-Still Standing". As a programmer and composer, Glove has worked on many hit series including "The Parkers", "All Of Us", "Just Jordan", "One On One", "Lincoln Heights", "Second Time Around" and "Love,Inc."

Chris is currently still producing and his latest output can be found on his Soundcloud platform.

Time: 131 minutes

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

"With London's Notting Hill Carnival Just a round the corner, we thought we'd drop a carnival inspired volume to get you all in the mood for the bank holiday weekend. If you have never been to West London's Carnival, hopefully these selections will inspire you to make that journey to one of the best weekends in music.....

For 3 days the streets of W10: Notting Hill, Ladbroke Grove and Westbourne Park, are filled with the most amazing colours and sounds...... whether it be the traditional floats and bands or the 40 odd dedicated soundsystems pumping out: reggae, dub, dancehall, soca and calypso, house, funk, drum ’n’ bass, jungle, dubstep, ska and breaks.....

Its all there for the discernible listener and we hope this weeks volume gives you a taster and puts you in the mood....."

For this weeks mixtape we welcome back SUBSET......

"With this mix I wanted to continue the New Zealand theme started with my previous Dusk Dubs mixtape, but cast the net wider to include a handful of bands from outside New Zealand (but still within the South Pacific).

Rather than traverse a variety of genres, this mixtape sits firmly within the realms of dub, my favourite realm. If you're at all familiar with New Zealand dub there may be some familiar names here, and hopefully, some new names as well that gets you digging a little deeper into the dubby treasure trove of New Zealand's sounds"

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we have invited back singer, songwriter, producer, DJ Joseph Mailk. Mr Malik has already compiled this years stunning 'AULD SKOOL 90S MIXTAPE - RETROSPECTIVE OF SCOTLANDS BEAT HEADS FROM 1990 /1999'. [(https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0405-dusk-dubs-joseph-malik/](http://)

Now he comes with another amazing mixtape...

'STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED MIXTAPE'

We’ll let Joseph explain.....

"I moved to the South Side of the City last Summer and it changed my life. This mixtape is dedicated to the Community of the South Side, this is our sound and who we are... a Mixtape of Music ,Race, Sexuality, Old and Young. Be who you want to be, its a real multicultural neighbourhood and i feel loved and part of it, much like down in Leith were I spent 20 years.... and when you throw in the world of food as well, from the Chinese Supermarket , Korean Take- Aways, Braw Burgers Chefs, Wings Chefs , The Tika Malsa Brothers, The Mosque Kitchen, North African Kitchens , Swedish Coffee shop, French Boulangerie and Big Tam the Butcher and never forget Makki and Ramen... oh my god you have everything on your door.

So as many of you know I gave up being a DJ and club promoter many years ago, and gave it all up to become a full time chef. My Son Rakhime Fawaz Malik took up an interest in music and began DJ’jing with what was left of my record collection. So I started a new night called “Stranger Things Have Happened”, the name mainly due to folks not expecting me to play again, but most of all teaching my son how to DJ and mix with no laptops. I’m so proud of him, my handsome amazing son, and for a Dad to stand back and watch him play and display DJ skillz at 20 years old with his Godfather Unkle Fawaz watching on, I was deeply touched and we became the Foundation of the Malik Family.

Now for the music ladies and gentleman, did you know I had a post-punk band called ‘Paper Cut Rock’, and that I’m a huge Beck, The Queens Of The Stone Age and Talking Heads fan, and I always get upset when folks have a misconception that black folks don’t like rock music. Man Music is music… embrace them all…. which takes us to this very special far out “Mixtape as Stranger Things Have Happened”…

Joseph breaks the mixtape down....

1) CLARKE SECRETS – I’m spellbound by the production and my god that voice Martina has a sound that wraps round your head and draws you in.

2) TALKING HEADS - PSYCHO KILLER - I heard this on acid for the 1st time aged 13, and it was mind blowing. Me and my mates watched the live show on VHS, I loved the drum machines and the hi I’ve got a tape I want to play I’ve played this so many times all round the world as my 1st track and it makes folks take notice that there is a DJ who takes risks.

3) TRIBE CALLED QUEST - SPACE PROGRAM - Ground breaking sonic sound waves and the greatest track they ever made. The lyrics “There Ain’t A Space Program For Niggers So Were Stuck Here”…. as a black man living in this fucked up world of race hate, it made me feel stronger.

4) BECK - CELLPHONES DEAD - I just simply love every album he has ever made. He has no fear of change, the vocal harmonies and percussion bring so much energy and my deep love of sci-fi samples make it too easy to add to the mix.

5) THE QUEENS OF THE STONEAGE - MAK IT WITH CHU - I went on a date after being alone for a very long time. I’m a sucker for romance and we kissed to this track when it came on, and it’s been in my head and my DJ sets still to this day.

6) MARTINA TOPLEY BIRD - TOO TUFF TO DIE – I’m just so in love with her voice and yeah black folks can make rock music. I really like the mix of blues and dub in this production.

7) LABRINTH - MISSBEHAVIN - The mix of Ray Charles meets electro just rocks my world and I don’t think this ever came out.

8) LITTLE - JOHNNY IM SHAKING - As covered by the White Stripes, this never leaves my record bag.

9) TOMMY RAYE - YOU DON’T LOVE ME - Another version of ‘No No No’ and a ska rnb killer i have to give thanks to Kyles and the villager bar crew for this one, it was on repeat on every set back in the early days.

10) KEN BOOTH AND STRANGER COLE - ARTIE BELLA - As a young rude boy back in the late 70s early 80s I bought this on 7 inch from my paper round money, and dreamed of one day being a DJ, which came true with my 1st gig at 14years old playing my aunties wedding.

11) MALIK FAMILY - JUICE BOX EDIT - Having a studio as a DJ gives you the edge to create other versions the hype up the dance floor and make other DJs go what the fuck is that ?.

12) JACKIE MINTOO - JUICE BOX - The sample of juice box which I play back to back, the true art form of a real DJ, I also give thanks to the soul jazz records family who hook me up with promos over the years.

13) STEREO TOTAL - PUSH IT REAL GOOD - This one is for all the hard working chefs.

14) HANDSOMEBOY MODELING SCHOOL - ROCK AND ROLL COULD NEVER HIP HOP LIKE THAT - My main man Prince Paul sums up the sound of ‘Stranger Things Have Happened’…. that blend of rock and hip hop - the odd ball beats for late night freaks.

15) THE DOORS - STRANGE DAYS - The psychedelic plays a huge part of my playlist the far out the strange the things you don’t expect to hear.

16) CAN - VITAMIN C - I play 2 copies of this back to back just before “The Hey You’ drops on the record, I love the anger and energy.

17) BLACKANIZED - BATTLE BEATS - This came me out on a double LP in the 90s. No major would touch it due to the star wars samples, we spent weeks on the drums, that when played out…. rocked every sound system I played on….. tougher than tuff.

18) KAYTRANADA - LITE SPOTS - Dam I love this kid and his sound is just so fresh, with the mix of Brazil meets hip-hop meets house not house.

19) JOSEPH MALIK - DIABLO (FAUNA FLASH VIP REMIX) - This was the bomb when it dropped and my 1st German number one record. I gave copies to my techno and house DJ mates and went along to hear them play it, and holy fuck it rocked ….with that acid meets tango - a sound that had never been made before.

20) DA POSSE - IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT (ACID MIX) - The Black Madonna dropped this in a set and it took me back to the early days of the Sub Club in Glasgow 1988. I had to search hard for this record, and we showed that our night had an electronic side, not just old-skool hip-hop, ska, funk and rock and roll.

21) SUPER DISCOUNT - A 10 BALLES - Le cheeky wee French number as you know i love skits

22) MIIKE SNOW - SONG FOR NO ONE - These dudes are super cool producers who make music for pop stars, I love the indie meets funk feel on the drums and guitar.

23) SPARKLE HOARSE FEAT JULIAN CASABLANCAS - LITTLE GIRL - Can you see where we are going now on our musical journey ? Indie meets hip-hop and produced by Danger Mouse, the modern version of Prince Paul.

24) PAPER CUT ROCK - DISORDER MAN - Did you know that I had a post-punk band back in the day ? i grew weary of being a soul man, and wanted to be something else. This is produced by Reachout in Leith and guitar by Rossco, this never came out and I’m happy to get a chance at last to share it with you.

25) WHITEY - WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN - My music bro Reachout turned me on to this amazing producer, art deco indie rock - so graceful and a big influence on me.

26) KMART - SANCTUARY - I really like strange cover versions and this is super rare.

27) DE LA SOUL – AIN’T HIP TO BE LABELED A HIPPIE - I Can’t explain just how much this record means to me and my son. Our deep love of De La Soul with that crazy …what’s going to happen’ next sound from the 1st album gave me the idea for our night.

28) KAMAL THE ABSTRACT - FEELING - I got a promo of this in 2002 and the album never came out due the record company not digging Q-Tip’s rock sound. He was brave and fearless, and it came out many years later. A true master well ahead of the game.

29) ANDERSON PAAK - PUT ME THRU - This song helped me get through the hardest break up of my life.

30 ANA TIJOUX - 1977 - This is one of Ashley Bibby’s favourite tracks of all time.

31) MANDRILL - MANGO MEAT - So I didn’t see my Unkle Fawaz for 10 years and this is one of his fave records, and the sample for the Jungle Brothers for those that know,

32) JOHN HOLT - STRANGE THINGS - I was a rasta when I was 19 living in London going to ‘Jah Shaka’ dub nights when I heard this for the 1st time, and it’s the last track on this spectrum of sounds that are Stranger Things Have Happened. ]]>

So I started a new night called “Stranger Things Have Happened”, the name mainly due to folks not expecting me to play again, but most of all teaching my son how to DJ and mix with no laptops. I’m so proud of him, my handsome amazing son, and for a Dad to stand back and watch him play and display DJ skillz at 20 years old with his Godfather Unkle Fawaz watching on, I was deeply touched and we became the Foundation of the Malik Family.

Now for the music ladies and gentleman, did you know I had a post-punk band called ‘Paper Cut Rock’, and that I’m a huge Beck, The Queens Of The Stone Age and Talking Heads fan, and I always get upset when folks have a misconception that black folks don’t like rock music. Man Music is music… embrace them all…. which takes us to this very special far out “Mixtape as Stranger Things Have Happened”…

Joseph breaks the mixtape down....

1) CLARKE SECRETS – I’m spellbound by the production and my god that voice Martina has a sound that wraps round your head and draws you in.

2) TALKING HEADS - PSYCHO KILLER - I heard this on acid for the 1st time aged 13, and it was mind blowing. Me and my mates watched the live show on VHS, I loved the drum machines and the hi I’ve got a tape I want to play I’ve played this so many times all round the world as my 1st track and it makes folks take notice that there is a DJ who takes risks.

3) TRIBE CALLED QUEST - SPACE PROGRAM - Ground breaking sonic sound waves and the greatest track they ever made. The lyrics “There Ain’t A Space Program For Niggers So Were Stuck Here”…. as a black man living in this fucked up world of race hate, it made me feel stronger.

4) BECK - CELLPHONES DEAD - I just simply love every album he has ever made. He has no fear of change, the vocal harmonies and percussion bring so much energy and my deep love of sci-fi samples make it too easy to add to the mix.

5) THE QUEENS OF THE STONEAGE - MAK IT WITH CHU - I went on a date after being alone for a very long time. I’m a sucker for romance and we kissed to this track when it came on, and it’s been in my head and my DJ sets still to this day.

6) MARTINA TOPLEY BIRD - TOO TUFF TO DIE – I’m just so in love with her voice and yeah black folks can make rock music. I really like the mix of blues and dub in this production.

7) LABRINTH - MISSBEHAVIN - The mix of Ray Charles meets electro just rocks my world and I don’t think this ever came out.

8) LITTLE - JOHNNY IM SHAKING - As covered by the White Stripes, this never leaves my record bag.

9) TOMMY RAYE - YOU DON’T LOVE ME - Another version of ‘No No No’ and a ska rnb killer i have to give thanks to Kyles and the villager bar crew for this one, it was on repeat on every set back in the early days.

10) KEN BOOTH AND STRANGER COLE - ARTIE BELLA - As a young rude boy back in the late 70s early 80s I bought this on 7 inch from my paper round money, and dreamed of one day being a DJ, which came true with my 1st gig at 14years old playing my aunties wedding.

11) MALIK FAMILY - JUICE BOX EDIT - Having a studio as a DJ gives you the edge to create other versions the hype up the dance floor and make other DJs go what the fuck is that ?.

12) JACKIE MINTOO - JUICE BOX - The sample of juice box which I play back to back, the true art form of a real DJ, I also give thanks to the soul jazz records family who hook me up with promos over the years.

13) STEREO TOTAL - PUSH IT REAL GOOD - This one is for all the hard working chefs.

14) HANDSOMEBOY MODELING SCHOOL - ROCK AND ROLL COULD NEVER HIP HOP LIKE THAT - My main man Prince Paul sums up the sound of ‘Stranger Things Have Happened’…. that blend of rock and hip hop - the odd ball beats for late night freaks.

15) THE DOORS - STRANGE DAYS - The psychedelic plays a huge part of my playlist the far out the strange the things you don’t expect to hear.

16) CAN - VITAMIN C - I play 2 copies of this back to back just before “The Hey You’ drops on the record, I love the anger and energy.

17) BLACKANIZED - BATTLE BEATS - This came me out on a double LP in the 90s. No major would touch it due to the star wars samples, we spent weeks on the drums, that when played out…. rocked every sound system I played on….. tougher than tuff.

18) KAYTRANADA - LITE SPOTS - Dam I love this kid and his sound is just so fresh, with the mix of Brazil meets hip-hop meets house not house.

19) JOSEPH MALIK - DIABLO (FAUNA FLASH VIP REMIX) - This was the bomb when it dropped and my 1st German number one record. I gave copies to my techno and house DJ mates and went along to hear them play it, and holy fuck it rocked ….with that acid meets tango - a sound that had never been made before.

20) DA POSSE - IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT (ACID MIX) - The Black Madonna dropped this in a set and it took me back to the early days of the Sub Club in Glasgow 1988. I had to search hard for this record, and we showed that our night had an electronic side, not just old-skool hip-hop, ska, funk and rock and roll.

21) SUPER DISCOUNT - A 10 BALLES - Le cheeky wee French number as you know i love skits

22) MIIKE SNOW - SONG FOR NO ONE - These dudes are super cool producers who make music for pop stars, I love the indie meets funk feel on the drums and guitar.

23) SPARKLE HOARSE FEAT JULIAN CASABLANCAS - LITTLE GIRL - Can you see where we are going now on our musical journey ? Indie meets hip-hop and produced by Danger Mouse, the modern version of Prince Paul.

24) PAPER CUT ROCK - DISORDER MAN - Did you know that I had a post-punk band back in the day ? i grew weary of being a soul man, and wanted to be something else. This is produced by Reachout in Leith and guitar by Rossco, this never came out and I’m happy to get a chance at last to share it with you.

25) WHITEY - WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN - My music bro Reachout turned me on to this amazing producer, art deco indie rock - so graceful and a big influence on me.

26) KMART - SANCTUARY - I really like strange cover versions and this is super rare.

27) DE LA SOUL – AIN’T HIP TO BE LABELED A HIPPIE - I Can’t explain just how much this record means to me and my son. Our deep love of De La Soul with that crazy …what’s going to happen’ next sound from the 1st album gave me the idea for our night.

28) KAMAL THE ABSTRACT - FEELING - I got a promo of this in 2002 and the album never came out due the record company not digging Q-Tip’s rock sound. He was brave and fearless, and it came out many years later. A true master well ahead of the game.

29) ANDERSON PAAK - PUT ME THRU - This song helped me get through the hardest break up of my life.

30 ANA TIJOUX - 1977 - This is one of Ashley Bibby’s favourite tracks of all time.

31) MANDRILL - MANGO MEAT - So I didn’t see my Unkle Fawaz for 10 years and this is one of his fave records, and the sample for the Jungle Brothers for those that know,

32) JOHN HOLT - STRANGE THINGS - I was a rasta when I was 19 living in London going to ‘Jah Shaka’ dub nights when I heard this for the 1st time, and it’s the last track on this spectrum of sounds that are Stranger Things Have Happened. ]]> 1475417 no no Sun, 06 Aug 2017 08:06:29 +0200 2017-08-06T08:06:29+02:00 1:55:31 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0426-dusk-dubs-mark-gardner/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Mark Gardner to the Dusk Dubs family......

"Firstly I’d like to say what a great honour to be asked to contribute my very own selections and join the esteemed roll call of so many outstanding prior guests. To say I feel a little out of my league here would be an understatement. That said I have had a life packed full of and surrounding music since a young age and unlike many others I didn't have the bonus head start of a home life full of cool music. My example is the opposite as the family in the main had awful taste centred on rock and roll and country or traditional folk music, sometimes even stretching as far as opera but hardly anything ever decent, bar the odd find that made a young lad ears prick up.

I LOVE and support Independent music, don’t do corporations, watch TV or entertain newspapers. What I do is dig as hard as I can for as long as I can with a single aspiration of sharing good and lost or overlooked music, alongside a few classics which transcend time. Todays all about the pre & much loved rather than the overlooked though I’ll wager at least a few off these will have well slipped off of most people’s musical radar by now (Or so I would imagine anyway.)

Music and dancing were formative in my early teens and was a keen body popper later going on to acquire sponsorship and winning the under 19 South UK Championships aged 15. The era I have chosen to focus on here is the music I spent my pocket money and part time job wages on.

Being always the Indie kid at the Rave and traversing many social circles and jumping onto the next fad, at this cumulative and wonderful time in music meant I kept on evolving constantly and gained a unique insight into many different and converging scenes and sub cultures of the time.

As such creating such a picture over just 80 mins is no easy task & I believe what all the lads round here term "The Dusk Dubs Dilemma". I too had my fair share in constructing this along with the most fun of course reliving some golden childhood memories. I have opted to go for a non trendy, most personal and honest approach I could to give you an insight into what I used to travel 14 miles round trip on the bus to go into 'Boots The Chemist' and ask for the GIANT Red book from behind the counter that (at the time) I was convinced had every record ever made in it. It certainly seemed to always have all I wanted and far more than I could ever afford.

It didn't take long for imports to become the all important thing and the start of a train spotting lifestyle but here I have deliberately chosen to avoid that and just give you a peek into the loves and playlist of an under 20 me.

I remember the very first time I saw Break Machine on TOTP and things changed hugely and forever and a country village overspill kid first experienced urban culture and all the things that this would lead to. Oct 13th 1983 and less than a month from turning the ripe old age of 13. As such this truly is an example of my true teenage Dusk Dubs up for your consideration and hopefully listening pleasure.

I've been lucky enough to work in many areas of the music business and be involved with friends’ projects over the last 31 years. A DJ is probably the last part of the scene I ever became seriously involved with and even now it’s not something I aspire to do professionally, although I will be starting up producing again seriously and doings some live events and other new radio projects as time goes on. We have just taken on management of a 200 acre festival site in Middle England so things are looking exciting for the future for the coming year!

For today however acting the DJ and getting me Dusk Dubs head onto my Worzel Style body, I'd like to introduce you to my personal playlist to represent 1983 - 90, my formative years spent collecting all I could find, recording every dance move I saw and practicing over and over nightly until I could do it. To be honest my formative years I consider to still be happening right now and even more so as time continues and I learn & discover more wonderful little avenues to explore!

Around this time there were 3 main influences in my life musically that I have hardly touched on here; 1.) The John Peel Show 2.) Robbie Vincents’ show 3.) Solid Soul > the reason being time constraints and aiming to stay within the spec given yet still retaining a coherent them and little mini journey that "flowed" how it’s supposed to. If gone into any of those 3 directions things would have opened and widened quite drastically to reveal the full extent of my somewhat wildly eclectic taste that my main radio show is known for.

Avoiding the Acid House scene here was like trying to resist that last Rolo but as with all the above there is a slight and subtle doff of the cap in that direction without opening a huge can of musical worms as if we go down that road, before we knew it we'd be back in the realms of #PJDN's "Steve's" doing an 8 hr Bank Holiday set, piss bottle under arm & off his tits on Nana's Prescription Meds! ;-)

As a digger it’s always hard to resist those WOW digs from then that you've only found now as no better feeling for a vinyl archaeologist to reveal something a little bit overlooked or a lost GEM. Once again something entirely avoided in this example, there are no real digs here and sure almost all the listeners of Dusk Dubs will know at least most if not all of my selections.

Thanks so much for lending your ears and time towards a little blast from my particular and personal history .I really do hope that you find something to enjoy here and perhaps relive a moment from your past magical musical history as well :-)"

**Tracklisting**

1) Ennio Morricone - The Ecstacy of Gold (Sunset Records 1976)

I’ve already indicated as to my family’s awful taste in music although Spaghetti Western Soundtracks were the welcome exception and became my youths audio refuge and a place I have always been happily musically. Ennio Morricone of course I later learned to be a significant musical genius and composer of note but when I first heard and fell in love with this I knew nothing of any such considerations.A master class in atmosphere building through soundscaping with an orchestra no less and anyone who knows me knows I do love live instrumentation. OST’s and Films have always been a big part of my life since old enough to save for and buy my own records and in the early 60’s Mum & Dad got a video shop so the house was always full of some soundtrack in the background of some variety.

With a penchant for all sorts of movies came all sorts of introductions to sounds I never even knew existed before that. Often the more cult and obscure items would also bring a wonderful OST and in later life led me to acts and bands that have brought me all sorts of glorious and over looked digs to re-enjoy. Truth be told I could easily fill 80 mins with just significant OST’s from the same period but for now that will have to wait until another invitation as today this merely a tip of the cap to my dear old Dad and his love for Spaghetti westerns and the musical joy and memory it still brings me today.

2) The Mexican - Babe Ruth ‎(Harvest 1972)

Suppose you’d call this my introduction to the fact that cool music existed in the past as well as the present and whatever Our Price or Woolworths had to offer me at the time. A timeless B. Boy classic wasn’t long before first hearing that all the boys were queuing up to get hold of a copy of this. Often a staple of many an early old’s cool or Zulu Nation type mixtape of the time. The influence of this tune carried over to the rave era for me with Todd Terry & the likes making great use of the chords and samples to best effect.

3) Newtrament - London Bridge Is Falling Down (Special Vocoder Mix) (Jive 1983)

Highly coveted this one for me and my best pal had it for what seemed like an age before me, so getting to hear him spin it in the garage at what I know now to be a thoroughly less than neighbourly level of volume, was an absolute joy to me. When I did get it I had just started getting into import LP’s and recognised them as a good value for money purchase as well as being great for laying on my bed and contemplating my utterly complex teenage world of angst and nonsense in equal doses. One peril I discovered later was going in for the LP and ending up with a fistful of something that came out of nowhere and as time went on more and more I was mainly buying LP’s on cassettes and relying on homemade often cut and pasted with the use of a boogie box pause button some lad had made from various sources just to give the feel of a continuous mix before anyone had even thought of using anything other than mum or dads turntable. When I did grab this I’d gone in for an LP and spotted this as a must have extra purchase and remember almost being able to hear it on the bus all the way home.

4) Imperial Brothers - We Come To Rock (Cutting Records ‎1984)

Off one of the Original Electro LP’s which at the time almost everyone I knew owned a copy of. Well everyone I knew outside of from the village where I lived did anyway, my peers and social circle / fellow breakers of the time. Wicked Bassline and used in many a practice session and battle at the time.

5) Arthur Baker - Breaker's Revenge (Extended Vocal Version) (Atlantic 1984)

Now talking of battle tracks they don’t get much heavier than this (Jimmy Castor Accepted of course) but this really is a seminal 80’s battling track as featured in Beat Street and engrained in the mind of many a now aging but then teen breaker studying the crackly tape in slow motion over and over trying to perfect the moves of the then “Masters of the scene”.

6) Aleem Ft Leroy Burgess - Confusion (NIA Records 1985)

Another stone cold classic of the era and one of the Two particularly stand out tracks for me and indeed was so close to including both despite the time constraints here as both are amazing and held dear in my memory. I still like the clean and slick, smooth production here which was a stark contrast to the majorly industrial cut and shunt and harsher, more cutting edge and crisp high hats, With fat driving basslines aimed directly at the dancefloor. This however is the yang to that yin and an entirely understated yet still uplifting musical journey with some lovely frequencies and sweet vocal to carry you through.

7) Human League - Things That Dreams Are Made Of (Virgin 1981)

On both this and the classic essential League Unlimited Orchestra LP’s this is a largely overlooked track that has always resonated with me personally and I’d happily still use in a DJ set today as timeless in my estimations and is just a wonderful piece of electronic music which looking back now was entirely groundbreaking in its approach and attitude. A gamble you might say that “years on” has proved to have spectacularly paid off in spades!

8) Paul Hardcastle - Sound Chaser (Original) 1984 12" Version (ZYX Records 1984)

This was one of them tunes you had to take yourself personally to the battle as at the time not particularly popular with the stone cold classics that everyone went mad for. Mr Hardcastle was properly doing it as this time and its hard to believe Rainforest didn’t make it into this set. However this for me was one of them tunes that gave me extra power and confidence when battling or performing. It as hard as you like for the time and truth be told probably a bit dark for my normal tastes but there remains that undeniable something that will always keep it close to my heart and bring back good memories of childhood, listening music with pals hanging round the school when it was shut on huge old boogie boxes, a roll of lino and puffing / sharing “teefed” tabs and illicit booze we’d acquired.

9) Sly & Robbie - Triplet Interpolating Don't Go - 1.1 The Taxi Gang (Mango 1986)

The cover of this alone would have grabbed you by the scruff of the neck at the time as not only is it striking it is also in the style of the famous electro series and so an instant want to know. Am said to say I overlooked this tune for many years and only reminded a few years back by a close pal of mine (who also loves it) of what a solid Gold gem it really is!This is a track I’ve regularly played over last few years via my own radio show’.

10) UB40 - The Earth Dies Screaming (Graduate Records 1980)

Years later I’d go on to work for their management and become involved in organising Acid House parties, ironically at a time where I had zero interest in UB40 as a musical entity of interest. As far as my just post teenage arse thought they had sold out and become far too commercial for my then bleep and breaks driven taste and so I lost interest in them for a number of years. The DEP label and studio they went on to create is a different story and a hive of cultural development and exciting, experimental things and as time has gone on I’ve come to appreciate them on an entirely different level. Their early work is a perfect example of pushing musical boundaries of the time and some wicked heartfelt and harmonious numbers plus some proper deep and timeless dubby action you could drop anywhere still even today. I chose this as fell in love with them early being championed at the time by John Peel who always had great things to say about them. This signing is pre DEP days and remains one of my all time fave tracks.

11) Shine Eye Gal - Black Uhuru (Virgin 1980)

I have a bit of a soft spot for Black Uhuru as marks a distinct change in my musical tastes upon discovering them. This was my entrance and interest in music of a black origin as I believe it’s now formally called. I recently featured the Red LP on my Desert Island Digs series with the Youth of Eglington Track, but this time completely different LP yet my no 1 fave track off the lot, literally Reggae perfection for me personally, love everything about it start to end. A band I recommend buying everything always on sight as represent a great value for money purchase on the vinyl accumulation front.

12) Gary Clail & On U Soundsytem - Two Thieves and a Liar (On-U Sound 1989)

If it wasn’t for this track and the one after next I could have easily made the set go from 1980 to 87 or Ten to Seventeen based on my own years at the time. I had a DuskDubs Dilemma as when asked this was defo going to be the finale track as I’ve always loved it, production, sentiment, lyrics, vibes and sampling, the lot in fact! Was always a fan of both Adrian Sherwood and the on U sound crews, for me doing everything that should be done on the UK underground Dub scene in those days. A lot of their LP compilations did get a bit experimental in places but this one still remains a crowd pleaser today and has some seriously fat basslines in it as you’d imagine coming from this crew.

13) Joyce Sims - Lifetime Love 12" (Hard Club Mix) (Sleeping Bag Records 1987)

What an artist, what a couple of LP’s she did, what a time in music as elements and people converged at the first wonderful post weekender, pre raving moments. Raving before it was termed raving if you like and this was one of those tunes which easily could be played on either side of the fence to a very appreciative and knowing crowd.

14) Bocca Juniors - Raise (Heavenly Rap Mix ) (Boy's Own Recordings 1990)

During this period in my life & still living in the village, The Boys own were a total fascination to me from the fanzine to the nights, parties and productions. I first saw this tune on Reportage on BBC2 I believe and caught entirely by chance but loved everything about it. Punkish defiant and revolutionary energy wrapped up as a Balearic Morsel, Everything that Andy Weatherall at the time represented to me personally. Loved that don’t give a fuck we’re doing what we’re doing and following no one ideal and vibe. A truly exciting time in music and for me everything that real music innovation should be about.

15) Cabaret Voltaire - Sensoria (7'' Mix) -(Virgin 1984)

One of those incredible cross over bands that you could listen to with all your different circles of friends and all would have approved. Groundbreaking and experimental electronic to techno and doing their own thing fusing both indie and industrial elements in heavier and more frequently it seemed than most dared to. Of course in reality, when you look, loads also tried similar things but none to such spectacular effect of these fellas in particular. I have a penchant for both the 80’s and 7” singles and this was always going to be in here at some point to emphasise that crossover point that I love about music. This represents the style of tune I’m still hunting for, that certain sound with shades of something else working in there beautifully and alongside or on top too.

16) 2 Men A Drum Machine and A Trumpet - Tired Of Getting Pushed Around - (London Records 1987)

Now here’s a moment I get to doff the cap towards the Incredible IDJ Dancers, as they featured on TOTP for this surprise hit. One of those were the timing was perfect and captured the entire vibe of UK teen nightlife at the time. I loved IDJ and studied them on video over and over from The Solid Soul TV show and to which I’ll never forget them dancing to Kiss of the Spider Woman by Wally Badrou, it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen at the time and was truly blown away.

Love the Piano and chord work / stabs in this particular track plus fact it represents the time perfect without seeming to overly dated to listen to now.

As such I thought it may make the perfect end to my own personal Dusk Dubs journey.

Really do hope you found something to enjoy here?]]>

Thanks so much for lending your ears and time towards a little blast from my particular and personal history .I really do hope that you find something to enjoy here and perhaps relive a moment from your past magical musical history as well :-)"

**Tracklisting**

1) Ennio Morricone - The Ecstacy of Gold (Sunset Records 1976)

I’ve already indicated as to my family’s awful taste in music although Spaghetti Western Soundtracks were the welcome exception and became my youths audio refuge and a place I have always been happily musically. Ennio Morricone of course I later learned to be a significant musical genius and composer of note but when I first heard and fell in love with this I knew nothing of any such considerations.A master class in atmosphere building through soundscaping with an orchestra no less and anyone who knows me knows I do love live instrumentation. OST’s and Films have always been a big part of my life since old enough to save for and buy my own records and in the early 60’s Mum & Dad got a video shop so the house was always full of some soundtrack in the background of some variety.

With a penchant for all sorts of movies came all sorts of introductions to sounds I never even knew existed before that. Often the more cult and obscure items would also bring a wonderful OST and in later life led me to acts and bands that have brought me all sorts of glorious and over looked digs to re-enjoy. Truth be told I could easily fill 80 mins with just significant OST’s from the same period but for now that will have to wait until another invitation as today this merely a tip of the cap to my dear old Dad and his love for Spaghetti westerns and the musical joy and memory it still brings me today.

2) The Mexican - Babe Ruth ‎(Harvest 1972)

Suppose you’d call this my introduction to the fact that cool music existed in the past as well as the present and whatever Our Price or Woolworths had to offer me at the time. A timeless B. Boy classic wasn’t long before first hearing that all the boys were queuing up to get hold of a copy of this. Often a staple of many an early old’s cool or Zulu Nation type mixtape of the time. The influence of this tune carried over to the rave era for me with Todd Terry & the likes making great use of the chords and samples to best effect.

3) Newtrament - London Bridge Is Falling Down (Special Vocoder Mix) (Jive 1983)

Highly coveted this one for me and my best pal had it for what seemed like an age before me, so getting to hear him spin it in the garage at what I know now to be a thoroughly less than neighbourly level of volume, was an absolute joy to me. When I did get it I had just started getting into import LP’s and recognised them as a good value for money purchase as well as being great for laying on my bed and contemplating my utterly complex teenage world of angst and nonsense in equal doses. One peril I discovered later was going in for the LP and ending up with a fistful of something that came out of nowhere and as time went on more and more I was mainly buying LP’s on cassettes and relying on homemade often cut and pasted with the use of a boogie box pause button some lad had made from various sources just to give the feel of a continuous mix before anyone had even thought of using anything other than mum or dads turntable. When I did grab this I’d gone in for an LP and spotted this as a must have extra purchase and remember almost being able to hear it on the bus all the way home.

4) Imperial Brothers - We Come To Rock (Cutting Records ‎1984)

Off one of the Original Electro LP’s which at the time almost everyone I knew owned a copy of. Well everyone I knew outside of from the village where I lived did anyway, my peers and social circle / fellow breakers of the time. Wicked Bassline and used in many a practice session and battle at the time.

5) Arthur Baker - Breaker's Revenge (Extended Vocal Version) (Atlantic 1984)

Now talking of battle tracks they don’t get much heavier than this (Jimmy Castor Accepted of course) but this really is a seminal 80’s battling track as featured in Beat Street and engrained in the mind of many a now aging but then teen breaker studying the crackly tape in slow motion over and over trying to perfect the moves of the then “Masters of the scene”.

6) Aleem Ft Leroy Burgess - Confusion (NIA Records 1985)

Another stone cold classic of the era and one of the Two particularly stand out tracks for me and indeed was so close to including both despite the time constraints here as both are amazing and held dear in my memory. I still like the clean and slick, smooth production here which was a stark contrast to the majorly industrial cut and shunt and harsher, more cutting edge and crisp high hats, With fat driving basslines aimed directly at the dancefloor. This however is the yang to that yin and an entirely understated yet still uplifting musical journey with some lovely frequencies and sweet vocal to carry you through.

7) Human League - Things That Dreams Are Made Of (Virgin 1981)

On both this and the classic essential League Unlimited Orchestra LP’s this is a largely overlooked track that has always resonated with me personally and I’d happily still use in a DJ set today as timeless in my estimations and is just a wonderful piece of electronic music which looking back now was entirely groundbreaking in its approach and attitude. A gamble you might say that “years on” has proved to have spectacularly paid off in spades!

8) Paul Hardcastle - Sound Chaser (Original) 1984 12" Version (ZYX Records 1984)

This was one of them tunes you had to take yourself personally to the battle as at the time not particularly popular with the stone cold classics that everyone went mad for. Mr Hardcastle was properly doing it as this time and its hard to believe Rainforest didn’t make it into this set. However this for me was one of them tunes that gave me extra power and confidence when battling or performing. It as hard as you like for the time and truth be told probably a bit dark for my normal tastes but there remains that undeniable something that will always keep it close to my heart and bring back good memories of childhood, listening music with pals hanging round the school when it was shut on huge old boogie boxes, a roll of lino and puffing / sharing “teefed” tabs and illicit booze we’d acquired.

9) Sly & Robbie - Triplet Interpolating Don't Go - 1.1 The Taxi Gang (Mango 1986)

The cover of this alone would have grabbed you by the scruff of the neck at the time as not only is it striking it is also in the style of the famous electro series and so an instant want to know. Am said to say I overlooked this tune for many years and only reminded a few years back by a close pal of mine (who also loves it) of what a solid Gold gem it really is!This is a track I’ve regularly played over last few years via my own radio show’.

10) UB40 - The Earth Dies Screaming (Graduate Records 1980)

Years later I’d go on to work for their management and become involved in organising Acid House parties, ironically at a time where I had zero interest in UB40 as a musical entity of interest. As far as my just post teenage arse thought they had sold out and become far too commercial for my then bleep and breaks driven taste and so I lost interest in them for a number of years. The DEP label and studio they went on to create is a different story and a hive of cultural development and exciting, experimental things and as time has gone on I’ve come to appreciate them on an entirely different level. Their early work is a perfect example of pushing musical boundaries of the time and some wicked heartfelt and harmonious numbers plus some proper deep and timeless dubby action you could drop anywhere still even today. I chose this as fell in love with them early being championed at the time by John Peel who always had great things to say about them. This signing is pre DEP days and remains one of my all time fave tracks.

11) Shine Eye Gal - Black Uhuru (Virgin 1980)

I have a bit of a soft spot for Black Uhuru as marks a distinct change in my musical tastes upon discovering them. This was my entrance and interest in music of a black origin as I believe it’s now formally called. I recently featured the Red LP on my Desert Island Digs series with the Youth of Eglington Track, but this time completely different LP yet my no 1 fave track off the lot, literally Reggae perfection for me personally, love everything about it start to end. A band I recommend buying everything always on sight as represent a great value for money purchase on the vinyl accumulation front.

12) Gary Clail & On U Soundsytem - Two Thieves and a Liar (On-U Sound 1989)

If it wasn’t for this track and the one after next I could have easily made the set go from 1980 to 87 or Ten to Seventeen based on my own years at the time. I had a DuskDubs Dilemma as when asked this was defo going to be the finale track as I’ve always loved it, production, sentiment, lyrics, vibes and sampling, the lot in fact! Was always a fan of both Adrian Sherwood and the on U sound crews, for me doing everything that should be done on the UK underground Dub scene in those days. A lot of their LP compilations did get a bit experimental in places but this one still remains a crowd pleaser today and has some seriously fat basslines in it as you’d imagine coming from this crew.

13) Joyce Sims - Lifetime Love 12" (Hard Club Mix) (Sleeping Bag Records 1987)

What an artist, what a couple of LP’s she did, what a time in music as elements and people converged at the first wonderful post weekender, pre raving moments. Raving before it was termed raving if you like and this was one of those tunes which easily could be played on either side of the fence to a very appreciative and knowing crowd.

14) Bocca Juniors - Raise (Heavenly Rap Mix ) (Boy's Own Recordings 1990)

During this period in my life & still living in the village, The Boys own were a total fascination to me from the fanzine to the nights, parties and productions. I first saw this tune on Reportage on BBC2 I believe and caught entirely by chance but loved everything about it. Punkish defiant and revolutionary energy wrapped up as a Balearic Morsel, Everything that Andy Weatherall at the time represented to me personally. Loved that don’t give a fuck we’re doing what we’re doing and following no one ideal and vibe. A truly exciting time in music and for me everything that real music innovation should be about.

15) Cabaret Voltaire - Sensoria (7'' Mix) -(Virgin 1984)

One of those incredible cross over bands that you could listen to with all your different circles of friends and all would have approved. Groundbreaking and experimental electronic to techno and doing their own thing fusing both indie and industrial elements in heavier and more frequently it seemed than most dared to. Of course in reality, when you look, loads also tried similar things but none to such spectacular effect of these fellas in particular. I have a penchant for both the 80’s and 7” singles and this was always going to be in here at some point to emphasise that crossover point that I love about music. This represents the style of tune I’m still hunting for, that certain sound with shades of something else working in there beautifully and alongside or on top too.

16) 2 Men A Drum Machine and A Trumpet - Tired Of Getting Pushed Around - (London Records 1987)

Now here’s a moment I get to doff the cap towards the Incredible IDJ Dancers, as they featured on TOTP for this surprise hit. One of those were the timing was perfect and captured the entire vibe of UK teen nightlife at the time. I loved IDJ and studied them on video over and over from The Solid Soul TV show and to which I’ll never forget them dancing to Kiss of the Spider Woman by Wally Badrou, it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen at the time and was truly blown away.

Love the Piano and chord work / stabs in this particular track plus fact it represents the time perfect without seeming to overly dated to listen to now.

As such I thought it may make the perfect end to my own personal Dusk Dubs journey.

Really do hope you found something to enjoy here?]]> 1466601 no no Sun, 30 Jul 2017 10:43:38 +0200 2017-07-30T10:43:38+02:00 1:36:45 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/future-frequencies-010/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Andy Hickford....

"Big thanks to the Dusk Dubs crew for inviting me back.

With this selection, I have decided to move away from the ‘inspirations’ theme of my first Dusk Dubs set, instead considering tracks that have grabbed me recently – or ones that have just stuck with me over the years.

I didn’t really want to be too genre specific, but was keen to move away from the funk/jazz type spectrum I’d covered in my previous choices. I’ve ended up with a rough boogie/broken beat/break beat/disco type range, which is pretty much closer to what I play out.

Headphones on…"

**Tracklisting**

1) Dennis Ayler – Unknown

This is a little intro track for the selection from the recent Dennis Ayler release on D.A.M. – a 22a offshoot. Whilst it may seem odd to select a 30 second interlude track as a set opener, I feel it acts as an ‘amuse bouche’ to set the tone for the music to come. More from Mr Ayler later…

2) Jeen Bassa - Today's Yesterday

Continuing with 22a – this is a track from Jeen Bassa’s Time Waves album, a superb collection of minimal funk laden hip hop, with afro, jazz and broken beat influences. 22a, Rhythm Section, 2000 Black et al are on fire at the moment – I’m not sure whether collectively they herald a new era of jazz, deep house, broken beat or whatever – maybe we should just leave the genre labels for discogs listings ?

3) Tatham, Mensah, Lord & Ranks - The Believer

So onto 2000 Black – Dego has been at the centre of many scenes over the years, hard-core, drum & bass, broken beat… he really is one of the UK’s heavyweight producers. This is a lovely track of broken boogie vibes, the releases on this label of so consistent that it is hard to pick out individual tracks for attention.

4) Dennis Ayler - Black SL

Back to Mr Ayler – carrying on with the modern bruk/boogie sound this track ‘Black S.L.’ is heavy on the funk, irresistible keys, a greasy bass – what more do you want? Maybe a basement and a red light, to accommodate you and a chosen few to boogie with?

5) A Band Called Flash - Mother Confessor

From UK pioneers to one from across the pond – I seemed to miss ABCF first time round – fortunately their records have been re-pressed, so I’ve been able to catch up with this Ron Trent produced material. Taking Deep House and Parliament to produce some delicious funky tracks ABCF are well worth checking if like me you slept on their work up til now.

6) Henry Wu - Black Rigsby

Back to the UK & the reputation of Henry Wu is growing by the day… the Yussef Kamaal project has seen broadsheet culture sections celebrating the re-birth of jazz in the UK, whilst recordings on Eglo, Tartelet, RSI & 22a have seen Wu dominate dancefloors across the nation too. This track from the Negotiate ep from 2015, is a lovely example of how Wu takes jazz-funk and puts it through a deep house blender to create something fresh.

7) King Midas Sound - One Ting (Dabrye remix)

This Dabrye mix of KMS takes the original and lifts it into a different dimension – snyths, beats, attitude a lovely vocal – this is still one of my favourite tracks on Hyperdub. It also takes the selection into slightly tougher territory.

8) Ragga Twins – Spliffhead

This is a track that I have loved for decades, I remember first hearing it in the early 90’s on mix tapes from the likes of Mickey Finn and Grooverider – the distinctive breaks, raga styling and hip hop influence marked this out as something different from a lot of the music around at the time. The Ragga Twins & Shut Up & Dance were setting standards back then – they were real pioneers in the development of UK dance music.

9) Art Science Technology - A.S.T.

Did I say pioneers? Brian Dougans & Garry Cobain fall into that category too – well known for FSOL, Humanoid, and now Amorphous Androgynous this is one of their lesser known projects. A.S.T. Sampling the Stranglers when I first heard this it seemed to bridge the gap between the indie dance of Oakenfold Happy Mondays remixes and the music Carl Cox was rinsing on Utopia & Eclipse rave tapes that were doing the rounds. I.e. perfect.

10) Air - Modular (DJ Cam No Protection Mix)

Moving on from the warehouse and into the back room (or at least it seemed to be back rooms where this sort of stuff was getting played in the mid 90’s. I love this DJ Cam remix of Air – whilst the lounge styling’s of Air are delectable, I always dug the way this roughed ‘em right up with some proper hip hop beats, whilst retaining the smoky vibes of the original.

11) Magnum Force - Cool Out

Now let’s dance… hip hop to electro isn’t much of a leap, so from the back room to the lino – this slice of electro boogie perfection in irresistible (at least I think so). The sort of tune that works in a bar, club, bbq – wherever – just infection grooves that at least gonna make your head nod.

12) Stone - Girl, I Like The Way You Move (Dub)

More electro boogie bizniz – this time going even deeper into the disco vibe, I love this slice of dubby disco – I hope those who enjoyed the warehouse rave style selections will see why I love this disco number. Name that tune…

13) Jago - I'm Going To Go (Instrumental)

This Jago tune is to be fair another I slept on, or had at least forgotten. On a recent trip to Amsterdam I heard this track over the system in Rush Hour – what is this? My brother & said almost in unison – off he goes to the counter to find out. They were playing the Frankie Knuckles version on this track – then it hit me, quick check on the discogs collection tab – yep got it. It hasn’t left my box since I got home. Massive bit of funky Italo proto house / disco. Love it.

14) T-Coy - Corino (Greg Wilson Re-Edit)

From electro/boogie/disco we now move towards the house era now – Carino being a big tune in the Acid House era – a Hacienda staple. I like this version – Greg Wilson just giving it a bit of a service and polish to give it a new lease of life. Pianos – where would house be without them ?

15) Pfortune - String Free

Speaking of pianos’ – boom – this is a killer slice of old school house. A remorseless piano-house monster tune. A proper hands in the air Jack Master era tune that still sounds fresh to my ears.

16) Shuya Okino - Still In Love (Nik Weston & Rudy's Midnight Machine Epic Strings Version)

And to finish – let’s bring those strings back – this is an epic tune (in name as well as sound), smooth, blissful, uplifting, a take me away end of nighter.

Many thanks for listening.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we invite Producer and DJ Joe Nebula2 to the Dusk Dubs family....

"Music to keep me going. Fortunate to be on earth right now. With these sounds.

I had such a good time selecting these tracks and so many never made the cut. But this is me and my music - well a cross section that covers just about it all in beats, breaks & sounds.

Mostly chill time. Enjoy!

Peace.... Joe Nebula2"

**Tracklisting**

1) Max Richter - Spring 1

I have to included a track from this composser. I love his work and this track even has a dance music feel to it. Waking up to this track will start any day off on a good footing. Shame its so short but who cares LOVE! I also am totally inspired by classical strings...

2) R-Tyme - R-Theme (Mayday Mix)

Cant beat this tyime of my life. New sounds new expericenes and new beginings. Such a great moment in my own history and the Detriot Techno sound played a major roll in it. Expermental soul music!

3) King Unique - Sugar High

This track for e just celebrates life in the best way possible. Total uplifiting vibrations on all fronts. If I'm happy already I will be extastic. If i'm not so happy it will bring me round.

4) Smote & Stunna Ft Submorphics - Sweet Passion

One of my all time tracks ever made (easy in my top 5 if I had one). Every time I listen to it it keeps getting better and better. I dont know why but they hit the nail on the head with this one. Just pure amazing sounds and put together in a way which resonates with me perfeclty. Drum & Bass at its best #DNB forever!

5) BB & Q Band - Genie

This is just teenage years all rolled into one. We all need some soul in your life.

6) Gabin - Terra Pura

Time to chill and think some :)

7) Planetboelex - Seagull Scene

Taken from an incredible album "Sunnta" which is 100% worth checking out. I selected this track as it has the bad ass bassline (Could be come out more but that's the DNB in me coning out). An amazing producer with some serious deep mind set! Definitely check out his other work. This style of music just take me away!

8) Fragile State - Barney Fade Future Loop Foundation

Just so good to be on earth with music like this. Sums it all up for me. Lifts me up. Onwards always.

9) King Unique - Yohkoh (Seven years on Remix)

Just pure genius from King Unique. He made two in the list here. Which is a big thing for me as I dontthink everyone makes good music all the time. Just such a great journey with this track up and down, down and up!

10) Hybrid - Finished Symphony

Whats not to love two of my favurite music styles classical and breaks rolled into one and for the first time some did it right. This whole album is just amazing. Hats off here for doing a job right! Just to add the track "Dreaming for you" is just as good but this track just takes it for me have a listen to that one to...]]>

'.Mw Droozed On The Medium Wave'

"Entangled in the musky dusky grooves there gleaned a surface, all faint lines across circular tracks. As carefully handed platters are ceremonially offered to the diamond diety we learned much...And when the serious searching exposes to you to a dynamite one-tracker or that the pleasure and perversity that a minutes Mouthing of poetic spoken word will grant you, it's time to scrub up and record, to tape together, to MANIPULATE and then rewrite...

If we are to break down what we have it's a simple system..Many many dusty knees years of exploration, many many almosts, many many keeper...enough in fact to re-dig your own library of music, to find B-Sides and album tracks not appreciated by younger selves bolstered by late nights or crafting and artistically shuffling waveforms, or cleaning literal then digital, or writes, re-writes, over writes and LEARNING...

Presented here in ALMOST raw form are some secrets, subtle and otherwise... In our taste, in our chaos and order. It's what we dug in both senses one wine enhanced night. Some back of the shelf, not pulled out for years, some newly found and freshly picked but all given some real thought...We do hope you enjoy our selection and a few cuts that may make it onto our next droozy mix and we hope the re-dub of our old 'Backyard Boogie Droozin' artwork doesn't hint too much towards our time-poor lives...Keep it droozy, keep it sketch and...Get out there and find those tick-making, freakish finds.

This one is dedicated to the Pye-man himself and all those he's exposed and the heroic Hickford...Keep on dubbin' on out...On out...On...oouuuutttt.

"I wanted to put together a mix with a kind of mood throughout, and over the last few years I've been listening to more and more instrumental music so here are some of my favourites.

Jack Rose I saw perform at an Rough Trade instore in Soho London maybe ten years ago and its through him I heard solo acoustic, finger picking drone music for the first time.

There is a beautiful track by Laraaji on hear, very meditative. I really like this kind of New Age music.

Mind Over Mirrors is the solo project of Jaime Fennelly from Washton State. I heard High & Upon playing in a record store in Greenpoint Brooklyn when I lived there. Lots of nice Harmonium and saturated organ drones.

Artists Woo and Mariah I discovered through this very cool label Palto Flats who just reissued Midori Takada's "Through the Looking Glass too.

Charles Mingus "Mingus Plays Piano" LP has been a big favourite for a long time!

Ben Frost does heavy ambient music so well, both brutal and beautiful.

The Jon Hopkins track is the only one with vocals by King Creosote. Jon used to be at a lot of the little folk nights I sometimes played at in London 2006/2007 when I was doing my first album. His soundscapes and Kenny's transcendent vocals together are heart breaking.

Cheers, Findlay"

This week we welcome Rebecca Vasmant to the Dusk Dubs family...

"I can genuinely and honestly say that nothing in the world compares to an amazing piece of Jazz at night time… There has been many times that I have been told to choose one genre of music and stick with it, I find this totally unachievable.

All the music that we hear that makes us feel totally inspired cannot be boxed into one style or genre of music and no matter what category or style that it may fall into it either makes us feel amazing or does not.

For me, I simply cannot describe the way that some music makes me feel. It is like a completely cleansing experience and the emotion that it derives from within our core can allow us to feel however we want to feel. Whether this is good or otherwise, we just allow ourselves to feel emotion that we may not feel in our daily lives and this is a beautiful thing. And I really do appreciate and respect musicians and producers for allowing us to be able to do that. When I hear a piece of music that I really feel, it can almost put me into a meditative state and I can allow myself to purely focus on what that piece of music is saying, whether it is classical, Jazz, Soul or Techno.. The emotion is still the same.

Music really is a privilege and I can honestly say that deep within my heart I am totally grateful for every piece of amazing music that I have been lucky enough to have been able to hear. And I realise that even if we spent every waking minute of every day searching for music, we would not have enough time to discover it all.. and this thought is overwhelming.

I thank every musician, composer, maestro and Producer for every piece of music whether it has been noticed or unnoticed and wake up every day happy to be able to just take the time to just listen and appreciate music."

**Tracklisting**

1) Stan Tracey Quartet – Starless and Bible Black. This record is one of my favorites in the world, despite the fact that is a very strong statement, I

really mean it. I will always remember the moment I first heard it, when my friend sent me it and I remember being completely blown away, speechless. It makes me feel, calm, happy, in love, content and loved. It's been with me through so many times, happy and sad, and I know it inside out. No amount of times listening to this could ever make me less grateful for having it in my life. I genuinely think that its timeless, and I will never have listened to it enough times.

2) Greg Foat Group – For A Breath I Tarry. This is one of the best modern Jazz records that has been released in the last five years. Its emotive, deep, and beautiful in ever way. Greg's piano playing is perfect on this record, and its always a piece of music that has the ability to completely reset my mood and make me feel perfect.

3) Greyish Quartet – Lydian Idyll. When playing Glasgow Jazz Festival with David from this band, I was blown away by his beautiful style of playing. This demonstrates why, its a very lovely piece that I have not been bored of since I first heard it over five years ago now.

4) Melanie De Biasio - With All My Love. This is one of those pieces that was a grower. I heard this for the first time when the album 'No Deal' dropped in 2013 and the more I listened to this, the more that I heard. Its got beautifully chilling feeling to it, and gets right to the depth of the emotions of the moment. One of those pieces of music that allows you to take a journey in your head to places that perhaps you wouldn't normally visit. Embracing sadness, and allowing it to surface just for the duration of this track, its a refreshing exercise that allows so much comfort in such a normally busy time of life.

5) Kelan Phil Cohran And Legacy – White Nile. I couldn't tell you one wrong thing about this track, its absolutely perfect. The way that the trumpet is played, the vocals, Alice Coltrane, everything. Its just so perfect. One of my top favourite pieces of all time.

6) Bill Evans – Piece Peace. This is my favorite piano piece of all time. Every time I listen to this after having not listened to it for a while, it reminds me why.

7) P.E Hewitt Jazz Ensemble – Ill Love Song. I distinctly remember the first time that I heard this, I was working in a record shop at the time and my colleague George who owned the shop put it on, I stopped what I was doing and immediately demanded to know what it was. There is something about the rawness of it, the 'naivety', and the almost semi professional way in which the musicians play their instruments that makes it truly special. As a listener, its really mind blowing, and many of my musician friends have complained or criticised this record for sounding like a 'high school band recording' but that is essentially what it is. I love it, and I think I always will.

8) Arthur Verocai - Caboclo. This is one of those records that makes your heart melt and makes me feel all warm inside. It takes me back to a time when I was touring a lot and had a lot of time spent in airports with little sleep. This record got me through lots of delays and long journeys, and when I listen to it, it takes me back to those times and I look back and am so grateful to have this record in my life.

9) Clifford Jordan – John Coltrane. One of my all time favorites from Clifford Jordan, and this album 'Glass Bead Games' is one of my all time favourites also. I love this track in particular and I love to play this at gigs.

10) Carlos Garnett – Mother Of The Future. This track gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it, its so strong.. I always think it sounds better and better each time I listen to it. An absolute dance floor record, I can't get enough of it. Dee dee Bridgewater absolutely makes this track with her vocals too. Such a huge record. I love to play this peak time in DJ sets, its one of those records that I always pack in my bag.

11) Max Cooper - Chronology (feat. Kathrin Deboer and Quentin Collins).

I was kindly sent this from the guys at Gearbox records and I was surprised to see techno man – Max Cooper on this label alongside Quentin Collins on trumpet, who I had known before this for being in a few awesome bands. This is a perfect mix of electronic, deep, warm and all the nice elements of music. I couldn't have put this together better if I had hand picked a bunch of people to collaborate, if I tried. Its great and refreshing and different. I love it.

12) Hampshire & Foat - All Washed Up. Greg told me that this track was born from him and Hampshire having a sad conversation about how their music careers were potentially over and that there was nothing left for them in the music industry. Luckily this inspired them to get together and record this utterly beautiful album. I would describe the emotion of this track as the same genre of emotion as in 'Starless and Bible Black' earlier in the list. It provokes feelings of love, hope, aspiration and more love. I really feel this record, and I have been listening to it non stop since I was sent it a few weeks back. I have a feeling this record will be a timeless piece too, just as Starless and Bible Black is. ]]>
Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Rebecca Vasmant
Title: DD0421
Style: Jazz
Time: 73 minutes
Date: 2017-06-025

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Rebecca Vasmant to the Dusk Dubs family...

"I can genuinely and honestly say that nothing in the world compares to an amazing piece of Jazz at night time… There has been many times that I have been told to choose one genre of music and stick with it, I find this totally unachievable.

All the music that we hear that makes us feel totally inspired cannot be boxed into one style or genre of music and no matter what category or style that it may fall into it either makes us feel amazing or does not.

For me, I simply cannot describe the way that some music makes me feel. It is like a completely cleansing experience and the emotion that it derives from within our core can allow us to feel however we want to feel. Whether this is good or otherwise, we just allow ourselves to feel emotion that we may not feel in our daily lives and this is a beautiful thing. And I really do appreciate and respect musicians and producers for allowing us to be able to do that. When I hear a piece of music that I really feel, it can almost put me into a meditative state and I can allow myself to purely focus on what that piece of music is saying, whether it is classical, Jazz, Soul or Techno.. The emotion is still the same.

Music really is a privilege and I can honestly say that deep within my heart I am totally grateful for every piece of amazing music that I have been lucky enough to have been able to hear. And I realise that even if we spent every waking minute of every day searching for music, we would not have enough time to discover it all.. and this thought is overwhelming.

I thank every musician, composer, maestro and Producer for every piece of music whether it has been noticed or unnoticed and wake up every day happy to be able to just take the time to just listen and appreciate music."

**Tracklisting**

1) Stan Tracey Quartet – Starless and Bible Black. This record is one of my favorites in the world, despite the fact that is a very strong statement, I

really mean it. I will always remember the moment I first heard it, when my friend sent me it and I remember being completely blown away, speechless. It makes me feel, calm, happy, in love, content and loved. It's been with me through so many times, happy and sad, and I know it inside out. No amount of times listening to this could ever make me less grateful for having it in my life. I genuinely think that its timeless, and I will never have listened to it enough times.

2) Greg Foat Group – For A Breath I Tarry. This is one of the best modern Jazz records that has been released in the last five years. Its emotive, deep, and beautiful in ever way. Greg's piano playing is perfect on this record, and its always a piece of music that has the ability to completely reset my mood and make me feel perfect.

3) Greyish Quartet – Lydian Idyll. When playing Glasgow Jazz Festival with David from this band, I was blown away by his beautiful style of playing. This demonstrates why, its a very lovely piece that I have not been bored of since I first heard it over five years ago now.

4) Melanie De Biasio - With All My Love. This is one of those pieces that was a grower. I heard this for the first time when the album 'No Deal' dropped in 2013 and the more I listened to this, the more that I heard. Its got beautifully chilling feeling to it, and gets right to the depth of the emotions of the moment. One of those pieces of music that allows you to take a journey in your head to places that perhaps you wouldn't normally visit. Embracing sadness, and allowing it to surface just for the duration of this track, its a refreshing exercise that allows so much comfort in such a normally busy time of life.

**Tracklsiting**

1) African Headcharge - Dervish Chant [Songs Of Praise] 1990
2) H.U.V.A. Network - Overload (Putput Mix) [Distances] 2004
3) Led Zeppelin - Dazed And Confused [Led Zeppelin] 1969
4) Cream - I Feel Free [Fresh Cream] 1966
5) Kino Oko - The Doggy Bag [The Doggy Bag EP] 2009
6) The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition [Conditions] 2009
7) Broker / Dealer - To Hear The Fires [Initial Public Offering] 2003
8) Philip Glass - Return To The Hive [1000 Airplanes On The Roof] 1989
9) Muse - Knights Of Cydonia [Black Holes and Revelations] 2006
10) Bungle - Move On [Move On] 2009

The stories:

1) African Headcharge - Dervish Chant [Songs Of Praise] - Kicking off with African Head Charge's Dervish Chant from 1990, this track was an eye opener. I'd heard dub and reggae in various forms, but this was the first time I had heard any form of 'tribal' dub. OMG! I was in aural heaven. I was living in York at the time and a guy I was sharing a house with had just bought it. I remember both of us being totally zoned into the whole album.

2) H.U.V.A. Network - Overload (Putput Mix) - H.U.V.A. Network's Overload from 2004 is from an album I bought on impulse simply because I thought the cover was cool. The album *is* cool, but I really like this track for its trancy, mesmerising vibe.

3) Led Zeppelin - Dazed And Confused - I love Led Zeppelin's Dazed And Confused from 1969 for its bass riff. When the track starts it is like listening to the equivalent of melted chocolate - you don't want it to stop :) Not only that, the solo is fabulous. This is one of those 'perfect' tracks that works for me from beginning to end. I first heard it when I was in my mid-teens. I probably 'performed' some of my first 'air-guitar' with this...

4) Cream - I Feel Free - Another 60's track (1966), I Feel Free by Cream is a great up-beat tune that makes me smile. Another memory from my teens.

5) Kino Oko - The Doggy Bag - The Doggy Bag (2009) was the first Kino Oko track I heard. I had just discovered the Digital Diamonds netlabel and was taken by Kino Oko's unique brand of progressive techno. I have nearly everything he has released, his passion and dedication makes his music stand out from the crowd.

6) The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition - Sweet Disposition (2009) is a track that will always remind me of a dear friend who is no longer with us. He used to play this a lot and I always enjoyed listening to it. As Big Chris says at the end of Lock, Stock and To Smoking Barrels - It's been emotional.

7) Broker / Dealer - To Hear The Fires - Boker / Dealer's To Hear The Fires (2003) was another impule purchase. Man, was I pleased with this! The entire album is a gem, but this track is a beauty!

8) Philip Glass - Return To The Hive - Philip Glass has had a massive impact on my musical adventures. I first heard his unique form of minimal classical music when I saw Koyaanisqatsi. After I watched the film I proceeded to pick up any of his works when I saw them. Return To The Hive (1989), is from 1000 Airplanes On The Roof. The album is described as a science-fiction music drama. It features Linda Ronstadt whose voice becomes an instrument in its own right. Probably one of my favourite albums by Philip Glass and one which always gets me deep down inside.

9) Muse - Knights Of Cydonia - Knights Of Cydonia is from Muse's 2006 release Black Holes and Revelations. What strikes me about this is its punchy, energetic driving vibe. You can dance to it, you can get out your air-guitar, you can simply sit and tap your foot - but it always sounds just great :)

10) Bungle - Move On - Last track is Bungle's Move On from 2009. Another positive, energy-driven roller-coaster, this tune makes me want to stop what I'm doing and get up and dance. Every time :) ]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back our good friend and long-time selector Depoeism. This time around he has compiled a very personal and celebratory volume – we’ll let him explain...

"This year is a very special year for my wife and I as we celebrate 20 yrs of marriage. As a special dedication to my wife on this momentous occasion I have put together an eclectic collection of tracks that mean a lot to us both, and to show how music can bring two very different individuals together I hope you can all get a feel for our dedication, love and commitment to each other.

Actually we've been together for over 25 yrs but who's counting lol Jenny Fisk, may we have another 20 yrs of (almost) married bliss xx

I would like to thank Jon , Tommy and Wilson for agreeing to this, ya chests fellas.

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we have the pleasure of inviting Saint Etienne to the Dusk Dubs family, as Pete Wiggs compiles a sublime selection....

"I’ve ended up going for the crepuscular end of the dusk dubs spectrum, a selection to take you from the sun passing over the horizon to a spot of campfire introspection. These are some of my favourite tracks from across the years that I find myself coming back to again and again.

Hope you like my selection."

This week the group have released their latest album 'Home Counties' on Heavenly Records. Produced by previous Dusk Dubs selector Shawn Lee of 'Wall Of Sound' and 'Young Gun Silver Fox' fame, the record contains 19 brand new tracks, inspired by Pete, Bob and Sarah's bitter-sweet relationship with the eponymous shires that the three have always been part of our.....

**Tracklisting**

1) Can – Future Days

Possibly my favourite Can song with its hypnotic sparse one note bass line and infectious vocal line. I often put this on if my brain’s feeling frazzled.

2) Ennio Morricone – In Un Sogno Il Sogna

Always liked Morricone’s soundtracks but became more hooked when the Mondo Morricone compilations came out in the 90’s. This sounds like a sunset to me.

3) Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin – Ballade de Melody Nelson

I’d usually listen to the whole album in one go but still haven’t worked out what the story is. Jean Claude Vannier’s arrangement on this is perfect.

4) Brenda Lee Eager – When I’m With You

This and ‘There Ain’t No Way’ are two of my all time favourite soul records, was torn between which one to include. Love the dense Larry Mizell production on this.

5) Archie Shepp – Blues for Brother George Jackson

I’m not usually one for free jazz sax outpourings but the combination of groove and emotion on this record is electrifying

6) Harpers Bizarre – Witchi Tai To

Adapted from a native American peyote chant, this song seems to embody the feeling of being surrounded by good friends and people you love.

7) Inter-Groupie Psychotherapeutic Elastic Band – Floating

The love-in continues with this gem from the Byg label

8) Robert Wyatt – At Last I Am Free

I love the poignancy of Robert Wyatt’s voice (can’t listen to Matching Mole’s ‘O Caroline’ without welling up) this is a beautiful cover of the Chic song.

9) Richie Havens – For Haven’s Sake

Don’t be put off by the daft pun title, this is Havens at his psychedelic best - I’m a sucker for dubbed up backwards tape effects. From his great album ‘1983’ which I don’t think anyone has re-issued yet.

10) My Heart Isn’t Only Mine – Tujiko Noriko

This 14 minute epic is a thing of fragile beauty, took me a few plays before I fell in love with it but has become one of my most listened to tracks of the last couple of years.]]>

This week we welcome back General Camel...

"For this mixtape, I haven't focused on one specific genre or artist but instead I've took inspiration from a time before the weekly Sunday Mixtapes. A time where the idea of Dusk Dubs was born. Most evenings over on 'Twitter' a group of us (The DD Originals) would post tracks that meant something to us, that brought back great memories or just tracks that we loved to listen too.

So basically, with that in mind, my selections for this mixtape are a bunch of tracks some old, some new, the 360 degrees, that I would of happily of posted on those nights which I have great memories and where some lifelong Dusk Dubs friendships were made.

As always.....Big thanks to the lads at Dusk Dubs HQ for asking me back.

So sit back, crack open a beer and enjoy the music......Peace

Time: 77 minutes

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Conrad Koziol.... is C

"Still reeling with happiness from being asked to do a selection last year never mind being asked again this year !! Always a pleasure compiling a few tracks to reflect some of my tastes in music.

Enjoy !"

**Tracklisting**

1) Ananda Project - "Justice, Mercy" (King Street) ...back in the late '90s I contacted Chris Brann and he was kind enough to send me a jam-packed CDR of unreleased material ; a CD I played so much it ceased to work but I've picked up a lot of what was on there in the meantime...

2) Noni - "Keep Me (Satisfied)" Keeping it deep with a sneaky wee teaser from Prescription Records back in the day. This got a lot of play in my years at college ; myself and some buddies actually ran a regular night in High Wycombe called "Hip To Be Disillusioned" because of our fondness for the label at the time.

3) Guy Boyer - "Sporting Flash Part 2" (ACME Funk) There used to be a record shop just round the corner from my old office by the Spanish bar "Bradleys". I picked this up in there.They had a lot of original funk and soul but they weren't cheap so I was seldom in there. This album caught my eye. Cool.

4) Gang Du Lyonnais - "The French Bakery Part 1" (Gang Du Lyonnais) Crazy sample-cut 12". It goes on a lot longer but I cut it short...

5) Akasha - "Brown Sugar" (Wall Of Sound) This is from a comp which came free with "Later" magazine back in the mid '90s where there was a lot of this kind of music coming out. I should check out their other work really !

6) Illonton feat. Coco Sapur - "New Dreams" (Chillout Beats) (Hooj Choons) Not even sure where this came from ; quite possibly up in Nottingham from the days I used to get a fair bit up there when visiting a good friend. Pretty damn mellow.

7) Slam Slam - "Free Your Feelings". Gifted Mix (MCA Records) Still sounds fresh. Guru doing the additional rap on this version. Remix is credited to Gangstarr but I'm guessing DJ Premier..(??)

8) MC Mell'o' - "Open Up Your Mind". The Consciousness Of One –8) Upso Mix - I'm really enjoying this sort of vibe again. Stunning UK hip-hop soul from the early '90s. Very London.

9) Innervisions - "Mermaids" (MO Wax) J. Majik in his Innervisions guise. My Gran used to love this one (!) She'd hear it playing from my room and come and hold her hands up and catch the strings. Lovely.

10) Kuniyuki - "All These Things" (Theo Parrish Vocal Version) (Mule) Deeeep. Theo ! Bubbles away nicely. There's a shorter, instrumental version on the flip but it's got to be all or nothing here...

11) Budgie - "Dream Cruise" (Wildheart Recordings) Fairly recent release which seems to be the only 12" he's released ?

12) Yotoko - "Lonely Man" (Delsin Records) Domu doing his Yotoko thing. Released in 2003 on the "Wet Ink" long player. Bit of squelchy bass

13) Roy Budd - "Thief On The Prowl" (Castle Music) ...original breaks from the movie maestro Roy Budd

14) Tall Black Guy - "Funeral Biz / Welcome To Detroit" (interlude featuring Mario and Malice Sweet) (First Word Records) Taken from his "8 Miles To Moenart" album. More greatness from TBG

15) Outro - (CK edit from Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam - "Let The Beat Hit 'Em" (Columbia)]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we invite Dan Jay to the Dusk Dubs family.

Dan is a veteran of ‘Pirate Radio’ appearing on such legendary stations as Conflict, Flava, Pressure and Rinse. He now plays on legal oldschool/jungle station ‘Kool London’..... still collecting, still selling and still breathing vinyl ...

"This is just a very small percentage of music I was bought up on in the 70s, I can remember my dad and uncle battling it out on the record player in our flat throughout the mid 70's as to who was going to play the next record.

My dad would be trying to put on his Credence Clearwater album while my uncle was trying to put on his Bowie albums, and all hell would break loose specially when my mum used to slip in and stick her Abba records on!!

I'm very open minded when it comes to music and I don't strictly listen to any one genre,I listen to anything and everything but I always end up back listening to probably my most favourite and that is psychedelic rock from the 60's/70's.

I really got into the music scene in the late 80's with the acid house explosion and the early hardcore and jungle scene but I always ended up right back where I started it was like I was trapped in the late 60's early 7's. I'm drawn to that era of music more than I was with the hardcore and jungle scene, and even today I'm still digging and looking for that one offbeat psychedelic record that blows my mind that's not been heard for many of year.

So I have complied some records that some of you may know and some of you definitely won't. This will blow your mind, if you sit back and take the time just to listen for a little over an hour, you will get the vibe I feel every time I listen to this music.

This is dedicated to my Dad because if it wasn't for him none of this would be possible...

RIP Big man xxx"

"This selection features laid back Vocal Jazz Grooves predominantly by female singers. I hope you are feeling the lush beautiful arrangements and stunning vocal performances of the trend setters from the 1950s."

**Tracklisting**

1) Eddie Finley + The Cincinnati Show Band - Treat My Right Or Leave Me Alone - Love this track ! Really soulful funky music. Already sampled and Chopped up by Maker (It was crying out to be used).

2) Donald Byrd - Fancy Free - One of my all time favourite jazz tunes.I hesitated to put this one on as it is long but...I hope you are agree, it deserves the time :) Every solo is on point and I love every time it returns to that main riff.

3) Manu Dibango - Hibiscus - I've got a fair bit of Manu`s music but I`m sure theirs plenty more for me to discover. This track is more or an ambient soundscape. Love those long delays on the sax.

4) Paul Hunter - Paul`s Pal - Originally from Glasgow, Paul is one of the artists that makes me curious. Obviously really talented but didn`t release a lot of tracks. Where are you now Paul? if you read this get in touch :)

5) RainForest - Hostal Alley - I've been supporting Rainforest`s music for a few years in mixes, on Catch a Groove (Trax + Nucleus Radio Show on Jungletrain) and out in clubs. I was sent his debut album a few of weeks ago and was blown away! It`s out now on Movementinsound.

I urge you Dusk Dubbers to go and check it out HERE ([http://movementinsound.com/buy/life-on-earth-18/ ](http://), ) you wont be disappointed.

6) Melanie De Biaso - I`m Gonna Leave You (The Cinematic Orchestra Remix) Melanie is an amazing Belgium based singer. I have brought everything she has released. She has a real classic, unique style. This track is from an album featuring remixes of her No Deal album. There`s some great remixes here and you know when you see Cinematic Orchestra on the case that it`s going to be good :)

7) Ambient Jazz Ensemble - The Journey - What a track! This one builds and builds. Taken from the Suite Shop album on Here and Now. I`ve been waiting for the follow up to this album, hope it comes soon...

8) Christian Prommer`s Drum Lesson - Can U Feel It - Amazing cover of My Finger`s Classic. If you are feeling this check out the rest of the album featuring versions of other classics such as Strings Of Life, Nervous Track, Claire, Plastic Dreams and others.

9) DJ Trax - Personal - Taken from my debut album Rhythmic Delusions. Personal was written live in under half an hour using the SY85 Sequencer whilst slighty pissed (and emotional by the sound of it ;)) I added a couple of bits of mates laughing to give it that nostalgic feeling.

10) Palm Skin Productions - Evolution Of The Beast (Autechre Remix) - Love this EP. Each mix of this track is really different. There's a good Roni Size and Krust one and a great mid Tempo hip-hop mix. This version by Autechre is really laid back and deep, love it :)

11) Flavornaughts - Keep The Rubble In Line - Taken from the album My Inbred Pedigree Chums from 97. Keep The Rubble in Line is a great example of the Flavornaughts. Very talented musicians jamming over down-tempo beats. If you like this one make sure you check out the album.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back our good friend DJ Trax....

"Big thanks for having me back. I`m a real music fan and love compiling for Dusk Dubs. This selection is quite varied but as always has soul and feeling.

I hope you enjoy..."

**Tracklisting**

1) Eddie Finley + The Cincinnati Show Band - Treat My Right Or Leave Me Alone - Love this track ! Really soulful funky music. Already sampled and Chopped up by Maker (It was crying out to be used).

2) Donald Byrd - Fancy Free - One of my all time favourite jazz tunes.I hesitated to put this one on as it is long but...I hope you are agree, it deserves the time :) Every solo is on point and I love every time it returns to that main riff.

3) Manu Dibango - Hibiscus - I've got a fair bit of Manu`s music but I`m sure theirs plenty more for me to discover. This track is more or an ambient soundscape. Love those long delays on the sax.

4) Paul Hunter - Paul`s Pal - Originally from Glasgow, Paul is one of the artists that makes me curious. Obviously really talented but didn`t release a lot of tracks. Where are you now Paul? if you read this get in touch :)

5) RainForest - Hostal Alley - I've been supporting Rainforest`s music for a few years in mixes, on Catch a Groove (Trax + Nucleus Radio Show on Jungletrain) and out in clubs. I was sent his debut album a few of weeks ago and was blown away! It`s out now on Movementinsound.

I urge you Dusk Dubbers to go and check it out HERE ([http://movementinsound.com/buy/life-on-earth-18/ ](http://), ) you wont be disappointed.

6) Melanie De Biaso - I`m Gonna Leave You (The Cinematic Orchestra Remix) Melanie is an amazing Belgium based singer. I have brought everything she has released. She has a real classic, unique style. This track is from an album featuring remixes of her No Deal album. There`s some great remixes here and you know when you see Cinematic Orchestra on the case that it`s going to be good :)

7) Ambient Jazz Ensemble - The Journey - What a track! This one builds and builds. Taken from the Suite Shop album on Here and Now. I`ve been waiting for the follow up to this album, hope it comes soon...

8) Christian Prommer`s Drum Lesson - Can U Feel It - Amazing cover of My Finger`s Classic. If you are feeling this check out the rest of the album featuring versions of other classics such as Strings Of Life, Nervous Track, Claire, Plastic Dreams and others.

This week we welcome John C Bawcombe to the Dusk Dubs family.

"I have been record collecting for almost 40 years and was delighted to be asked to contribute to the Dusk Dubs project. It's taken some weeks to piece this list of amazing music together for your listening pleasure.

Its' a scoot through me growing up.... and whats graced my various record players over the years.

I hope you enjoy."

**Tracklisting**

1) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory OST - Candy Man

I kick off with a track taken from everyone's fave children's film - and a big fave in my house when my son was younger - this is for you Lenny B!

2) San Sebastian Strings - The Gypsy Camp

An oddity from the late 60s that grabs that Balearic style groove I so love. Down to the sea and back.

3) Thomas Newman - Dead Already - American Beauty OST

Taken from the Grammy nominated soundtrack from the American Beauty film - created using mainly percussion instruments. Newman believed the score helped move the film along without disturbing the "moral ambiguity" of the script, saying "It was a real delicate balancing act in terms of what music worked to preserve that''. Love the movie and love the soundtrack even more.

4) Anthony Newley - Why

An English actor, singer and songwriter Newley achieved success as a performer in such diverse fields as rock & roll and stage and screen acting. As a recording artist he enjoyed a dozen Top 40 entries on the UK singles chart between 1959 and 1962, including two number one hits. You may remember this from the awesome Gangster Number 1 movie.

5) Andy Williams - The Impossible Dream

Yes that track they used in the Honda advert a few years back. Composed by Mitch Leigh with lyrics written by Joe Darion. The song is the most popular song from the 1965 Broadway musical Man of La Mancha - many artists over the years have covered this - for me Andy Williams nails it with his beautiful vocal - you will often catch me singing this very loud in the car.

6) The Jam - Ghosts

Taken from The Gift album - the first Jam album I bought aged twelve and still remains a firm fave of mine from their awesome back catalogue - Potentially the most under-rated album in the Jam's huge output, The Gift took a lot of heat from both critics and fans for being "self-indulgent" and for deviating from the formula too much. In reality, these criticisms are unfounded and unfair - ''Ghosts'' is a record I come back to time and time again and while it hits WAY too close to home for me, is simply one of Weller's best songs. Essential.

7) The Rolling Stones - You Cant Always Get What You Want

From the 1969 album Let It Bleed album and a record that I still play very often. The song featuring the London Bach Choir opening the song (the choir opening is only on the album version), highlighting throughout, and bringing it to its conclusion. Johnny Miller, the Stones' producer at the time, plays drums on this song instead of Charlie Watts. Al Kooper plays piano and organ, as well as the French horn intro.

8) The Who - Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand (Alt. version)

Another massive influence on me over the years - I love the lyrics to this and Al Kooper (see The Stones above) makes a great guest job on the organ -once described as The Who's "second great song about masturbation" (after the band's 1967 single "Pictures Of Lilly"):[ God bless The 'orrible ooo!

9) Dexy Midnight Runners - There There My Dear

Searching for the young soul rebels is a wonderful, life-enhancing album and I always play it loud when Im feeling down - a comfort blanket from 1980. Includes one of Rowlands best ever put down lines - ''If you're so anti-fashion, why not wear flares, instead of dressing down all the same'' - never fails to let me down this album.

10) Quadrophenia - Jimmy Quits in a Blaze of Glory!

We all wanted to do this at some point and never had the bollocks - taken from the film I must have watched 1000 times - Only Phil Daniels could deliver this punchline - Take it or leave it !

11) Playtime Toons - The Shaker Song

Produced by my good friend and DJ Trevor Fung who influenced me greatly in the late 80s at Legends, Rage and The Fitness Club - Playtime Toons offers up an early acid house nugget used on pirate radio a lot and was the last tune of the night for a good while at The Hacienda.

12) Masters Of The Universe - Space Talk (Hyper Spaced Mix)

Like many others of my age I quickly adopted house music in the late 80s. This is a stunning track that features that piano from the gods - co produced in 1990 by Dave Lee who later went on to record as Joey Negro.

13) Plez - I Can't Stop

The one record that transports me back to the smoke and strobes of early acid house adventures in London.

14) Napoleon - Happy Finish

One half of ''Bent'' - Nottingham's ultra cool chill masters - Simon Mills has now branched out with his Napoleon solo project - got to love Simon who has taken time out to DJ at my events and to send me this over for inclusion.

15) Leftfield - Melt

For me the Leftism album is the best album produced in the 90s - and this little nugget is a thing of beauty that has that lovingly honed production that set a standard for electronic music producers to aim for moving forward.

16) The XX - Night Time

I wore their first album out when released in 2009 - so many great memories of that lovely summer in 2010 where I played it to everyone that popped over or got in the car.

17) The Beach Boys - God Only Knows

In my top three besties and my list would not be complete without this record. Along with Carl Wilsons pure vocal the production features an unorthodox selection of instruments, including French horn, accordions, sleigh bell, harpsichord, and a quartet of violas and cello's - Pet Sounds is life giving.

18) Ben Howard - Wolves

Where you been hiding lately, where you been hiding from the news?

Because we've been fighting lately, we've been fighting with the wolves.

Masterpiece?.

19) The Cure - 10.15 on a Saturday Night

Early in their career, The Cure were trying to get a record deal. In the liner notes to the deluxe edition of Three Imaginary Boys, they explain that an executive for the record company Fiction was doing paperwork while listening to some demos he received when he heard the "Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip..." coming from this song and thought it sounded quite nice. He then found the band and gave them a record deal.

20) David Bowie - Life On Mars

Needs no introduction and a fitting end to my Dusk Dubs journey.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Long Dark Tunnel to compile a wonderful Sunday mixtape for you.

"If I was only ever allowed to listen to one artist, and one artist only, for now and evermore I would be tossing a coin between James Yancey and Rupert Parkes.

I have opted for the latter as it was he who grabbed my attention as an impressionable listener of hardcore, jungle, dnb in those formative days of the early 90's. It was he who completely ripped up the script of music production, samples, patterns, drum programmes – the lot. It was he who weaved in and out of genres like the musical chameleon he truly is. Opting in and out of alter egos, yet reaching every corner of that sound and pushing its boundary to another level. It was he who could without a shadow of doubt be placed well to the top of the fabled dnb Hall of Fame for his artistic ability and his contribution to the scene.

The idea of an all Rupert Parkes concept came initially from a Purple Radio session where the Dusk Dubs lads dropped 3 of his tracks in a row. This led to some wonderful nostalgia in the chatbox about him and his works. I just imagined a whole Dusk Dubs session dedicated to entirely to him. As usual the problem was always what to leave out, but I hope I have covered enough bases in his work to give the listeners a real feel for his musical genius.

Enjoy."

Style: Beats, Rock, Dance
Time: 104 minutes
Date: 2017-04-09

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week, we welcome DJ and Artist Jonny Mac - Warriors of the Dystotheque (WoTD) to the Dusk Dubs family....

"Welcome to my Dusk Dubs, rather than pick a lot of tunes from 1 or 2 genres, I've decided to take it right back to my roots and draw on the music that made me do what i've done for the past few decades, promoting and DJ-ing across the globe and now releasing with my band Warriors of the Dystotheque, as well as going further back and recollecting the music I grew up with that effectively shaped me.

Hopefully you enjoy the tunes i've selected, thanks for your ears.."

**Tracklisting**

1 - The Specials - Ghost Town (1981) - This was the 1st record I owned so i'm rather proud of that cause there is a lot of questionable tracks in the collections of my friends for their 1st records, I owe this to my cousins Kieran & John who were a few years older than me and were heavily into the Ska & Punk scene in the late 70’s & early 80s so I guess i was lucky..

2 - SLF - Alternative Ulster (1979) - So along with Madness The Beat The Specials and the Ska scene I was majorly into the Punk scene & as a kid growing up in Northern Ireland during the troubles the 1 band who were full of angst and told it like it was on the streets of Belfast was Stiff Little Fingers, even at such a young age you knew what was going on in the country and the even then the lyrics really hit home and their All The Best album was my 1st LP purchase. I actually went on to book them to play in 2003 iv Coventry as it goes.

3 - New Order - Confusion (1983) - Skip a few years as the punk & ska scene filtered out and gave way to the electronic sounds that were influencing the electro scene and the breakdance craze was just beginning to sweep the globe. my all time favs New Order got introduced to the sound by Arthur Baker with this amazing remix of Confusion, this went on to shape me into my love for electronica.

4 - Freestyle - Don’t Stop The Rock (1985) - This is a track I fell in love with and in my later life I would play it many many times as I DJ’d across the country and always at my Frequency nights which saw a lots of the top DJ’s of the time - Derek Dahalarge, Scratch Perverts, Avalanches. Adam F, Ez Rollers Live, Kosheen, Space Raiders, Dub Pistols, Freestylers, Leeroy Thornhill, Phil Hartnoll, Stanton Warriors & many more

5 - Depeche Mode - Black Celebration (1986) - So this is a major major track in my life, My Mum passed away just shortly before this album came out at only 35 and I wasn’t even a teenager at this time so was still really finding my way in life and at this time the whole on Northern Ireland was a war zone with shooting and bombings happening everyday and more times than enough it would be someone who was known to the family our community who was involved so testing times for most people and lots went on to get involved in the troubles cause its really all there was in the country as even decent people faced the problems head on.. Luckily I can say that this tour by Depeche Mode played a role in me deciding my future, the local youth club were running a bus up to Belfast for the gig I was only 12 and wasn’t allowed to go but I eventually got my way and went along with Jim & Paul also Gerry who took us I witnessed an amazing show and decided that my future was in music somehow..

I was into New Order and lots of other cool bands at this time and went and bought a headless bass guitar a few weeks later possibly the best decision I ever made cause many round me went to jail got killed named or involved in the troubles.

6 - Happy Mondays - Wrote For Luck (1988) - My best mate Maxi and myself were busy learning to play, he had a Roland U20 and a sampler and id the bass, we were playing a lot of SLF New Order Smiths The Cure and the like. It was his uncle Kieran who introduced me to this as he landed in with the Happy Mondays Bummed Album another great find by the legendary Tony Wilson and Factory records. So Vince Clarke who i was well aware of from his early days with Depeche tuned out this dubby trippy remix and the Manchester days were well on the way and Id soon be raving in fields and on beaches. As it would turn out i'd do 2 separate tours with Shaun & Bez for a few weeks at a time round the Ireland Scotland & England and have to say Bez is 1 of very few real people i've ever met in the game…

7 - Orbital - Belfast - (1989) - I'm now wearing tie dye T shirts baggy jeans and id imagine Fila boots and smiling like the Acid man on the front of the sun newspaper and making the journey to Portrush to check out Glen Malloy in Kellys but its the early 90’s & Belfast Art College where I really heard proper Techno at David Holmes Sugar Sweet nights with Andy Weatherall and Orbital live performing Belfast for the 1st time which again later on to my disbelief Phil Hartnoll went on to tell me it was called Belfast cause they’d just finished it in the studio and Belfast was the 1st time id got played this was during a 3 year period from 03 - 06 when I DJ’d throughout the UK & Ireland alongside Phil which was just after a few years DJ’n across the world alongside Leeroy Thornhill from the Prodigy we we had a residency in Ibiza and partied at pikes for 15 weeks in 03 with Brandon & Alex a lot of weeks, what fun was had.

8 - Nitzerebb - Lightning Man (1990) - So alongside the Manchester techno & rave influences at this time I was listening to a lot of Industrial and some metal with local band Therapy being the main 1’s also Mute records had signed Nizterebb and along with the likes of NIN Ministry & Meat Beat Manifesto they were a big part of the electronic side of my calling and a more leftfield sound I guess.

9 - Beastie Boys - So What Ya Want (1992) - What can I say, along with A Tribe Called Quest De La Soul Public Enemy & KRS 1 the B boys

were a soundtrack thats been with me all my life, They are geniuses in their field just listen to Paul’s Boutique and the humour in the raps with the amazing beats and the massive massive array of samples form so many tracks we all know and love makes them the leaders of the pack and Eminem sure wouldn’t be around today if he’d not heard these guys at work.

10 - Therapy - Teethgrinder (1992) - I'm 19 now and full of teenage angst and in band playing drums called Dog Eat Fish we were playing around the country and Therapy are from the same town, a few years before went on to become a major name in the metal scene and they are still going strong today we were all playing at gigs. This was a sound i was influenced by I could really relate to the breakbeat drumming style of Fife Ewing again id bring Therapy to Coventry on their 10 year anniversary tour.

11 - Pop Will Eat Itself - Bulletproof (1992) - A massive Poppies fan, their heavy guitars and samples along with the live breakbeats drum loops and fuck the establishments attitude really was something to follow and believe in back then. And as it turns out I would become good friends with Richard march Fuzz Townsend & Graham Crabb form the band a few years later & my band WotD have went on to remix for them a few years back on their funk FIFA track oh and Graham from the band is gonna be singing on our next release We’re Taking Control…

12 - Portishead - Roads (1994) - This band and sound would change my life again but this would be whats stayed with me most and influences me greatly to do what I’m doing with WotD.

So i've got the Dummy album and I’m totally blown away but the dopeness of the sound but yet its so musical and haunting it stays with you. I loved what had came before but the 4/4 beat was not really me so this broken trip hop beat along with the Acid Jazz sounds at the time just opened my ears. I went on to to book Andy Smith in 98 as my 1st ever gets in Dundee. This is my fav Portishead track but a Warriors of the Dystotheque Edit.

13 - Chemical Brothers - Chemical Beats (1995) - Exit Planet Dust has been released and thats it now trip hop to smoke to and Chemical big beats to rave to Ive found exactly what Id been looking for a sound that was a deep in the roots of the early electro id been listening to 10 plus years ago only made for the beatniks of the 90’s.

A few months into 95 I heard the Chemical Bros & Portishead doing the essential mix and was again buzzing to hear this new style of DJ’n so on the Monday morning after hearing it I went to the bank got a loan and bought my Technics 1200’s & a mixer, possibly another the best buy of my life as I went on to DJ across the globe..

14 - Ceasefire - Trickshot (1995) - So Ive been running my own nights alongside David Cook at a night called Brown Sugar were local bands play then I DJ beats breaks & hip hop, I managed to get onto White Noise & Revolution promo lists so was getting lots of new cuts every week and this 1 lands on my mate it would go on to be my all time fav big beat track and Wall of Sound record from my old pal and country man Derek Dahlarge who reminded me it was the best selling WOS tracks over an early morning Bloody Mary in a hotel in Dundee in 98 after he spun for me at my Frequency night in Dundee Uni where I was promoting for a few months alongside Ken Ferguson brother of the famous DJ Fergie who I grew up with and learned to DJ alongside..

15 - Bentley Rhythm Ace - Run On The Spot (1997) - A few weeks after Derek Dahlarge was on the essential mix & had played in Dundee at my Frequency night i brought the BRA boys up from Birmingham and this again would change my life forever..

We DJ’d and after the night went back to my apartment with a few friends and listened to tunes and partied through the night, during this time I told the guys I was moving to Coventry in about 4/6 weeks time when the University broke for summer as my girlfriend at the time was from there but she was returning home to Coventry as she was pregnant and was actually leaving in the morning and her Mum and Dad were already up and were coming to load all our belongings into a van and drive down but I was waiting on as I had a job and she would rent a house for me coming down in a few weeks time, anyway this is where it gets interesting it told the guys and said id meet up in B’Ham in a few months but Mike BRA was having none of it and dared me to come down the next day as they were playing in Birmingham and promised a wheelbarrow of drink and goodies so they went to their hotel as the sun came up and I went to sleep for a bit then woke about 11 with my girlfriend and her parents there to load our stuff and I decided I was coming so i jumped into the back of the van and off e went on the 7 hour drive. I got out got cleaned up went to Bham on the train and called Richard BRA from New Street and said are you in and was in a cab to his..

We went to the club and back to Rich’s house I met Graham Crabb his was in Pop Will Eat Itself that night and we became the best of friends going on holiday with our families and attending his wedding.

Crazy stuff for a guy from a town in N. Ireland with only 80K people and not much going on but if a door was there to be opened I usually took it off the hinges..

A few months before moving i knew i was going to live in Coventry so i'd contacted the uni and arranged to take my Frequency nights there. Derek returned also the Scratch Perverts Dub Pistols and Space Raiders before I was pouched and went to the biggest independent club in the city where Frequency remained till 2005 & Sean from WotD was resident, I'd met Sean in 99 when I arrived in Coventry and we studied music production together back in 01-03, anybody who was worth talking about grace the decks.

I brought Leeroy from the Prodigy for his 1st gig to the club and also sorted a gig in Birmingham the next night that we both spun at in the Medicine bar then after it we had a laugh and Leeroy asked could I sort anymore gigs so I put together a university tour and we went across the UK Scotland and Ireland the following year with a residency at Lashed in Eden in the back room for the season of 03 playing breaks hip hop funk and whatever else as well as daytime parties at Coastline and I dine a few sunsets also shows at Savannah’s and pre parties every week at Bar M..

16 - Zero - Emit Collect - Rennie Pilgrim Remix (2002) - This was by far the biggest breaks record I ever played in a decade of playing breaks & I’m sure 80% of breaks DJ’s would say the same it never left my bag and always threw any dance floor into utter mayhem.

17 - John Tejada - The End of it All (2006) - I spent this summer going to DC10 a lot and enjoying the early morning Monday sessions and Locodice & Tania Volcano were everything that was good about the underground scene and coupled with Circo Loco at DC10 in the sun was a brilliant what turned out to be several summers.

I sat on my balcony of my apartment with my best friend who is sadly no longer with us (Rest Easy Moosa) & we played this over and over and over actually we nearly missed our taxi to the airport because he put it on 1 more time.

That was a good look into the future cause over the next 5 years we missed at least 3 flights a season by kidding ourselves, we were flying in late on a Sunday night to go to Circo Loco at DC10 on a Monday morning and going to leave at 10pm Monday night and catch the last flight home I never made it once in about 5 or 6 attempts. This is the stand out track from those years and means a lot to me because of the fun memories it brings.

18 - Trentemoller - Moan (2007) - I was now involved in secret parties in Coventry called Playtime, along with my good friend Karl we threw several parties in disused locations with just a text before midnight telling people where to go this went on for a bout a year during this time we were on the lookout for a warehouse to call our own and finally we got 1, the playtime Warehouse went on for a few years and had the likes of Justin Robertson and a big favourite MR C as well as others.

It was around 2009 I began to feel like I wasn’t enjoying the whole DJ and partying scene and it was getting a bit much and I was beginning to lose my way, so 2010 I spent a lot of time staying home and hanging out round friends feeling more like it was time to have a good hard look at myself and figure out my next move, so Nov 10 i went home to Ireland for a few days and told my Dad I was needing to think about the future and decided to move back at the end of Jan 2011 I actually came home mid Jan after the death of my housemate who passed away in our home and I found him so that accelerated things and I returned to Ireland where I’ve remained since that day, I went back to Sea working on the ferries as head chef which Id done many years back before I went to the UK, but after a year or so i started to miss music again and decided to start doing some bits of production..

19 - Warriors of the Dystotheque - Hashtag from The Future Is Ours EP

This was our 1st EP from October 2015. The band was formed through Facebook in 2014, but started in my studio In Derry, Ireland. I picked up on Mike and Nick’s music through a friends post on Fakebook and asked if they wanted to collaborate on a track. Mike and Nick are based in New York, so stems were sent back and forth through a file sharing service and then arranged in my studio. I then got Sean Graham involved to add some extra elements and do a mix down. Sean splits his time between UK and France, so is constantly making music on the move. From that initial EP, The Future is Ours, we decided to form a band, even though we’ve never set foot in the same room together, or all met in person for that matter. Social media has been the backbone to our inception. We’ve also managed to hook up with new and old friends to feature guest vocalists. I came across Ella Joy on YouTube, the vocalist that appears on Return to Coney, and all the guys have been able to extend interest to old friends, like Melissa Graham (Atom Vibe), Tony Jarvis (#Hashtag) and Pop Will Eat Itself front man Graham Crabb, who features on the forthcoming tracks Monsters At The Gates and as you will hear later in the year on We’re Taking Control which as a dub is currently smashing 6 Music loads of other BBC stations and picking up several day and night time plays over on RTE 2 this is after 12 months of major plays across lots of shows namely Nemone, Lauren Laverne, Huey Morgan & Shaun Keaveny on BBC 6 Music, throughout the year form our Return To Coney & Just Breathe releases support has also came in from Phil Taggart at BBC Radio 1, Stephen McCauley - Electric `Mainline on BBC Foyle, Across `the Line - BBC Ulster & Dan Hegarty at RTE 2.

20 - Lisbon Kid - We Look At The Stars- Warriors of the Dystotheqie Remix (2016) - We just remixed for Lisbon Kid Ft Sarah Cracknell (Saint Etienne) on Wall of Sound and this got massive support across R1 RTE BBC Foyle and more. setting us up for another massive year in 2017 which has just seen us kick the doors off the hinges, and been selected as ones to watch in 2017 and our unreleased track We’re Taking Control has been smashed across BBC 6 Music by Nemone on her Electric Ladyland show also when she sat in on breakfast & further support from Dan Hegarty on RTE 2, Stephen McCauley on BBC Foyle & Rigsy Stu & producer Jimmy over at ATL on BBC Ulster.]]>

11 - Pop Will Eat Itself - Bulletproof (1992) - A massive Poppies fan, their heavy guitars and samples along with the live breakbeats drum loops and fuck the establishments attitude really was something to follow and believe in back then. And as it turns out I would become good friends with Richard march Fuzz Townsend & Graham Crabb form the band a few years later & my band WotD have went on to remix for them a few years back on their funk FIFA track oh and Graham from the band is gonna be singing on our next release We’re Taking Control…

12 - Portishead - Roads (1994) - This band and sound would change my life again but this would be whats stayed with me most and influences me greatly to do what I’m doing with WotD.

So i've got the Dummy album and I’m totally blown away but the dopeness of the sound but yet its so musical and haunting it stays with you. I loved what had came before but the 4/4 beat was not really me so this broken trip hop beat along with the Acid Jazz sounds at the time just opened my ears. I went on to to book Andy Smith in 98 as my 1st ever gets in Dundee. This is my fav Portishead track but a Warriors of the Dystotheque Edit.

13 - Chemical Brothers - Chemical Beats (1995) - Exit Planet Dust has been released and thats it now trip hop to smoke to and Chemical big beats to rave to Ive found exactly what Id been looking for a sound that was a deep in the roots of the early electro id been listening to 10 plus years ago only made for the beatniks of the 90’s.

A few months into 95 I heard the Chemical Bros & Portishead doing the essential mix and was again buzzing to hear this new style of DJ’n so on the Monday morning after hearing it I went to the bank got a loan and bought my Technics 1200’s & a mixer, possibly another the best buy of my life as I went on to DJ across the globe..

14 - Ceasefire - Trickshot (1995) - So Ive been running my own nights alongside David Cook at a night called Brown Sugar were local bands play then I DJ beats breaks & hip hop, I managed to get onto White Noise & Revolution promo lists so was getting lots of new cuts every week and this 1 lands on my mate it would go on to be my all time fav big beat track and Wall of Sound record from my old pal and country man Derek Dahlarge who reminded me it was the best selling WOS tracks over an early morning Bloody Mary in a hotel in Dundee in 98 after he spun for me at my Frequency night in Dundee Uni where I was promoting for a few months alongside Ken Ferguson brother of the famous DJ Fergie who I grew up with and learned to DJ alongside..

15 - Bentley Rhythm Ace - Run On The Spot (1997) - A few weeks after Derek Dahlarge was on the essential mix & had played in Dundee at my Frequency night i brought the BRA boys up from Birmingham and this again would change my life forever..

We DJ’d and after the night went back to my apartment with a few friends and listened to tunes and partied through the night, during this time I told the guys I was moving to Coventry in about 4/6 weeks time when the University broke for summer as my girlfriend at the time was from there but she was returning home to Coventry as she was pregnant and was actually leaving in the morning and her Mum and Dad were already up and were coming to load all our belongings into a van and drive down but I was waiting on as I had a job and she would rent a house for me coming down in a few weeks time, anyway this is where it gets interesting it told the guys and said id meet up in B’Ham in a few months but Mike BRA was having none of it and dared me to come down the next day as they were playing in Birmingham and promised a wheelbarrow of drink and goodies so they went to their hotel as the sun came up and I went to sleep for a bit then woke about 11 with my girlfriend and her parents there to load our stuff and I decided I was coming so i jumped into the back of the van and off e went on the 7 hour drive. I got out got cleaned up went to Bham on the train and called Richard BRA from New Street and said are you in and was in a cab to his..

We went to the club and back to Rich’s house I met Graham Crabb his was in Pop Will Eat Itself that night and we became the best of friends going on holiday with our families and attending his wedding.

Crazy stuff for a guy from a town in N. Ireland with only 80K people and not much going on but if a door was there to be opened I usually took it off the hinges..

A few months before moving i knew i was going to live in Coventry so i'd contacted the uni and arranged to take my Frequency nights there. Derek returned also the Scratch Perverts Dub Pistols and Space Raiders before I was pouched and went to the biggest independent club in the city where Frequency remained till 2005 & Sean from WotD was resident, I'd met Sean in 99 when I arrived in Coventry and we studied music production together back in 01-03, anybody who was worth talking about grace the decks.

I brought Leeroy from the Prodigy for his 1st gig to the club and also sorted a gig in Birmingham the next night that we both spun at in the Medicine bar then after it we had a laugh and Leeroy asked could I sort anymore gigs so I put together a university tour and we went across the UK Scotland and Ireland the following year with a residency at Lashed in Eden in the back room for the season of 03 playing breaks hip hop funk and whatever else as well as daytime parties at Coastline and I dine a few sunsets also shows at Savannah’s and pre parties every week at Bar M..

16 - Zero - Emit Collect - Rennie Pilgrim Remix (2002) - This was by far the biggest breaks record I ever played in a decade of playing breaks & I’m sure 80% of breaks DJ’s would say the same it never left my bag and always threw any dance floor into utter mayhem.

17 - John Tejada - The End of it All (2006) - I spent this summer going to DC10 a lot and enjoying the early morning Monday sessions and Locodice & Tania Volcano were everything that was good about the underground scene and coupled with Circo Loco at DC10 in the sun was a brilliant what turned out to be several summers.

I sat on my balcony of my apartment with my best friend who is sadly no longer with us (Rest Easy Moosa) & we played this over and over and over actually we nearly missed our taxi to the airport because he put it on 1 more time.

That was a good look into the future cause over the next 5 years we missed at least 3 flights a season by kidding ourselves, we were flying in late on a Sunday night to go to Circo Loco at DC10 on a Monday morning and going to leave at 10pm Monday night and catch the last flight home I never made it once in about 5 or 6 attempts. This is the stand out track from those years and means a lot to me because of the fun memories it brings.

18 - Trentemoller - Moan (2007) - I was now involved in secret parties in Coventry called Playtime, along with my good friend Karl we threw several parties in disused locations with just a text before midnight telling people where to go this went on for a bout a year during this time we were on the lookout for a warehouse to call our own and finally we got 1, the playtime Warehouse went on for a few years and had the likes of Justin Robertson and a big favourite MR C as well as others.

It was around 2009 I began to feel like I wasn’t enjoying the whole DJ and partying scene and it was getting a bit much and I was beginning to lose my way, so 2010 I spent a lot of time staying home and hanging out round friends feeling more like it was time to have a good hard look at myself and figure out my next move, so Nov 10 i went home to Ireland for a few days and told my Dad I was needing to think about the future and decided to move back at the end of Jan 2011 I actually came home mid Jan after the death of my housemate who passed away in our home and I found him so that accelerated things and I returned to Ireland where I’ve remained since that day, I went back to Sea working on the ferries as head chef which Id done many years back before I went to the UK, but after a year or so i started to miss music again and decided to start doing some bits of production..

19 - Warriors of the Dystotheque - Hashtag from The Future Is Ours EP

This was our 1st EP from October 2015. The band was formed through Facebook in 2014, but started in my studio In Derry, Ireland. I picked up on Mike and Nick’s music through a friends post on Fakebook and asked if they wanted to collaborate on a track. Mike and Nick are based in New York, so stems were sent back and forth through a file sharing service and then arranged in my studio. I then got Sean Graham involved to add some extra elements and do a mix down. Sean splits his time between UK and France, so is constantly making music on the move. From that initial EP, The Future is Ours, we decided to form a band, even though we’ve never set foot in the same room together, or all met in person for that matter. Social media has been the backbone to our inception. We’ve also managed to hook up with new and old friends to feature guest vocalists. I came across Ella Joy on YouTube, the vocalist that appears on Return to Coney, and all the guys have been able to extend interest to old friends, like Melissa Graham (Atom Vibe), Tony Jarvis (#Hashtag) and Pop Will Eat Itself front man Graham Crabb, who features on the forthcoming tracks Monsters At The Gates and as you will hear later in the year on We’re Taking Control which as a dub is currently smashing 6 Music loads of other BBC stations and picking up several day and night time plays over on RTE 2 this is after 12 months of major plays across lots of shows namely Nemone, Lauren Laverne, Huey Morgan & Shaun Keaveny on BBC 6 Music, throughout the year form our Return To Coney & Just Breathe releases support has also came in from Phil Taggart at BBC Radio 1, Stephen McCauley - Electric `Mainline on BBC Foyle, Across `the Line - BBC Ulster & Dan Hegarty at RTE 2.

20 - Lisbon Kid - We Look At The Stars- Warriors of the Dystotheqie Remix (2016) - We just remixed for Lisbon Kid Ft Sarah Cracknell (Saint Etienne) on Wall of Sound and this got massive support across R1 RTE BBC Foyle and more. setting us up for another massive year in 2017 which has just seen us kick the doors off the hinges, and been selected as ones to watch in 2017 and our unreleased track We’re Taking Control has been smashed across BBC 6 Music by Nemone on her Electric Ladyland show also when she sat in on breakfast & further support from Dan Hegarty on RTE 2, Stephen McCauley on BBC Foyle & Rigsy Stu & producer Jimmy over at ATL on BBC Ulster.]]> 1280158 no no Sun, 09 Apr 2017 09:49:17 +0200 2017-04-09T09:49:17+02:00 1:44:24 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0409-dusk-dubs-wrongtom/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we welcome producer, DJ and artist Wrongtom to the Dusk Dubs family....

Teenage Dubs:

"Our teenage years are a minefield of mood-swings, awkward relationships, wild proclamations and questionable fashion choices, well mine were at least. For a lot of us it's also a time of major musical exploration, so whilst I would happily never go back there, I'm also happy I have hundreds of great records to mark those 7 tender years.

So I've selected a handful of tracks I picked up in my teens, in chronological order from 1988 to 1995, and handed them over to the Dusk Dubs crew to splice together for your listening pleasure. It wasn't an easy task - I listened to reams of records back then, but to narrow things down, I stuck strictly to music originally released at the time. This means that much of my teenage soundtrack didn't make the cut, lots of reggae, soul, jazz and funk from the 60's and 70's especially. I left out Prince too because it was too hard to simply pull out one or two tracks. I may have to return to Dusk Dubs to do an accompanying "old" selection from the same era, or even a dedicated Prince one but until then, here's 20 tracks of teenage confusion and fascination..."

**Tracklisting**

1) Boogie Down Productions - Stop The Violence - I'd been a fan of hip hop and reggae for a few years before BDP's 2nd LP dropped, and I'd heard a couple of tunes which tapped both genres but this wasn't simply a hip hop track with a slightly skanky sample or a bit of token patois, 'Stop The Violence' featured KRS-One doing what he does best over a rework of a Winston Riley dancehall rhythm which had been doing the rounds earlier the same year. There was no need to reinterpret it, add a funk break, or beef it up with an 808. This was someone rapping over straight up dancehall - proof that reggae could be hip hop and perhaps vice versa. This might not sound particularly revolutionary now but in 1988 reggae was quite marginalised in NYC, and some Caribbean New Yorkers opted to hide their accents for fear of being considered too country. The anti-violence, anti-gangster message here resonated with me too, I wasn't really into NWA, Too $hort etc, I was an annoying pacifist, I still am, and I still dearly love this record.

2) Overlord X - Rough In Hackney - The largely overlooked UK hip hop scene had a golden era at the end of the 80's and it quickly struck a chord. I made a grand claim that I only listened to British hip hop (this sounds a bit Brexit in hindsight) which wasn't actually true but I was a big fan. My favourite at the time was Overlord X and his crew of Hackney soldiers X Posse. I rarely dig this record out now but one thing which struck me on a re-listen was the depth of production: thundering kicks drums and clattering percussion which may have played a subliminal role in me taking up the congas a few years later. Some less-familiar listeners might find the "rough in Hackney" refrain a little strange if you're listening in a pokey flat off Mare St which you've just spent a cool million quid on.

3) Neneh Cherry - Outré Risqué Locomotive - "But I thought you said you didn't listen to pop..." I ask teenage me as I slip Neneh on the deck. I did, not loads but I found my copy of Madonna's 'Justify My Love' whilst ferreting through my shelves. Neneh though, another great pop anomaly like Grace Jones or Prince, steeped in underground music, yet she still made some evergreen and universally loved chart music. Raw Like Sushi captured everything which was great about the UK music scene at the time, with production credits from Bomb The Bass and a pre-Massive Attack DJ Mushroom, not to mention On-U keyboardist Nick Plytas and Essential Logic's Phil Legg. Neneh herself cut her teeth with jazz-punk situationists Rip Rig & Panic but I didn't know that at the time. I did know that this album was wicked, and stuff like 'Manchild' and this slice of Prince-esque "new power" funk, using a classic James Brown riff, remains close to perfection.

4) Depth Charge - Depth Charge - Master of the dark arts J Saul Kane ploughed the field when it came to downbeat music in the rave era. This was triphop before triphop was a dirty word, or even invented for that matter. We'd hear another of his themed 12"s on pirate and eagerly await it's release: the audio nasty of 'Dead By Dawn', the spaghetti western funk of 'Bounty Killer', I even loved his football tune (still have absolutely no interest in football!) but DC's eponymous debut is still his finest. I experienced the 2nd summer of love in '89 vicariously through my brother and sister, too young for adventures round the M25 or dancing in sweaty backroom venues to acid classics myself. Enter Kane with his antidote to rave, detuned into a dub-hop soundtrack for your comedowns or maybe for those too young to come up, in my case at least.

5) Renegade Soundwave - On TV - Sonically not too far flung from Depth Charge - I think DC even sampled an RSW track on Bounty Killer - RSW sparked my new interest in spikier, (almost) rockier music. Though they were very much an electronic act, Gary Asquith's voice harked back to their former incarnations as Mass and Rema Rema on indie label 4AD. Most people remember them for their rave crossover breakbeat beast 'The Phantom' but it was the debut LP Soundclash which opened my eyes to darker experiments with hip hop, dub and electro production. Their RSW In Dub album still sounds fresh too.

6) Ragga Twins - Ragga Trip - By the late 90's you'd rarely hear a hip hop head say he liked house, reggae purists refused to see the lineage between lovers rock and UK garage but around the turn of the 90's it often wound up in the mix all at once. Shut Up & Dance helped pave the way for hardcore and jungle with an onslaught of dark, dancehall influenced rave classics but it was their vocal collaborations I loved the most. Nicolette had that "Ella on acid" thing going on whilst Ragga Twins toasted in a classic UK chatter style over amalgamations of everything which was good on the dance floor at the time, from rare groove samples to bleeps lifted from Japanese synth-pop, it all went in the mix to create a mutated revisioning of sound system music for a new generation. Case in point was 'Ragga Trip', where brothers Flinty & Deman revisited a lyric from their Unity Sound days, toasting over the top of a rolling hip hop break and a squelchy 303 bassline. I had to buy another copy of their LP Reggae Owes Me Money 'cause I played my original one to death, and it still seems surreal that I've just made an album with these guys myself.

7) Samuelle - So You Like What You See - Whist weird crossover stuff probably suited this grubby, lovelorn teenager, I still had a thing for a sweet soul tune. I may not have dressed slick or owned a click-suit but I loved new jack swing with it's rat-a-tat beats and be-pop influences. I don't remember much else from Samuelle but this track had it all: butter-smooth harmonies, a nice drum break and that preset organ bass sound which would later become a garage staple. Perfect.

8) Daddy Freddy - Article Don - Another raggamuffin hip hop pioneer, Freddy, along with MC Asher D and producer Simon Harris brought the UK's love of skanky hip hop across the sea to the states and Jamaica. Meanwhile back on UK soil, Freddy was showing off his lyrical dexterity to Roy Castle and Cheryl Baker on Record Breakers, "what do we call you, Freddy?" asked Cheryl, "you can call me Daddy" he casually replied.

I later met Daddy Freddy while I was playing main stage at Outlook Festival in Croatia. He popped up back stage after I'd just dropped his Fashion Records classic, the fantastically titled "Baba Loo Baba L Baba Loo Baba Laba" and he excitedly told me it was his birthday. I asked him if he was playing that night "nuh it's mi birthdeh, Mungos ask mi fi chat, I chat two lyric and go." I saw him later that night on Mungos Sound, they couldn't have got him off the mic if they'd tried. Nice guy.

9) Young Disciples - Step Right On (Dub) - I got my first proper job in '91 selling fruit n veg in a supermarket in new Malden, it sucked but I was making just enough to buy a few records - £3.83 an hour! - and I bought Young Disciples' 'Road To Freedom' LP with my first paycheque. A lot of it went on Talkin' Loud releases over the next few years come to think of it.

This felt like the accumulation of all that was happening on the dance floor at the time (I assumed, I was too young to go clubbing still), taking in elements of soul, swing, hip hop, jazz, funk and in this instance dub. The richly textured production sounds amazing all these years later and I still drop 'Apparently Nothin' from time to time.

10) Corduroy - Skirt Alert - Whilst Gilles Peterson was looking ahead with Talkin' Loud, his former partner Eddie Piller was happy to release shamelessly retro sounds from the likes of Corduroy and Mother Earth on his Acid Jazz imprint, though I should stress, it wasn't solely a retro venture and plenty of forward thinking material came out of the AJ camp.

Corduroy were loads of fun. Formed by the Addison twins of 80's mod-oddities Boys Wonder and the bassist from that lot that covered 'Spirit In The Sky', you'd be forgiven for thinking they were style over content but really, lighten up, they made loads of great records including a fuzzy jazz-rock cover of Hawkwind's 'Motorhead', the latin soul of 'Something In My Eye' and 'Mini' which was like proto-Brit pop without being either boring or shit. This track's from their largely instrumental debut Dad Man Cat which - having discovered a new found love for live music beyond simply MC's and DJ's via Galliano - probably helped me crossover into rock territories. Which brings me to...

11) The Telescopes - Yeah - At college I started to dabble in guitar music, Pixies, Fugazi and Violent Femmes all hit the spot but the revelation came when my friend Phil, who read the NME like it was the bible, played me some shoegazer stuff. My Bloody Valentine were obviously great but it was the funky psychedelics of The Telescopes which fully won me over.

I've only included the first half of 'Yeah' here because it inexplicably features about 20 seconds of silence in the middle which often led people to skip to the next track thinking there was something wrong with their walkman. I spent a lot of time glued to my Walkman back then.

12) Medicine - Aruca - The other shoegazer band I loved was Medicine who were much noisier than The Telescopes but not limited to simply distortion and overdrive. Brad Laner's guitar work was one part Metal Machine Music and one part musique concrète, ear-splitting yet full of melody. They had a funk to them too, in fact one track 'Sweet Explosion' had a bass riff slyly lifted from 'The Message' by south London afro-funksters Cymande.

I got chatting with Laner after a Medicine gig in Windsor around the time, I'd made a (fairly ropey) video for this track at college, he told me to send it over, I planned to but thought better of it (it really was quite bad from what I remember).

13) Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - Satanic Reverses - This album never gets old for me. Production-wise it really should sound dated but seeing as nothing else sounded like it at the time, it still sounds as alien as it did then. Disposables main-man Michael Franti conjured the pre-rap rapping of The Last Poets, Watts Prophets, Amiri Baraka and Gil Scott Heron, his lyrics informed and delivery precise. They were the indie-kid's preferred hip hop act at the time with their industrial on-stage antics with chainsaws and TV's but there was so much more to them than that. Thanks to the current political debacle in the UK and US, tracks like 'The Winter Of The Long Hot Summer' and 'Satanic Reverses' are as lyrically potent now as they were 25 years ago, which is actually kind of sad.

14) Federation - Rusty James (Portishead Remix) - One of the most awkward memories of my teenage years was thinking the language Mo Wax boss James Lavelle used in his reviews section in Straight no Chaser magazine - "slamming' tricknological dope phatness" etc - was actually cool. I discovered some amazing records from those pages though.

In one breath Mo Wax releases take me back to the dub-hop wonder of Depth Charge a few years prior but there's another part of me that regrets how much I spent on this label, a lot of their output dated quite quickly. Fortunately there's a few stone cold killers in their catalogue like the early Attica Blues 12"s, Palm Skin Production's collabs with 2-Tone legend Rhoda Dakar and this remix by a very fresh-faced Portishead, possibly their 1st ever release under the name. It's full of the classic Persuaders-esque guitar wobbles and crunchy drums you'd expect from the west country miserablists but what I find remarkable about this is it's nod to the aforementioned new jack swing shuffle. Perfect for me, even if I wish I hadn't bought quite so much of Mo Wax's output in those first few years.

15) Espiritu - Los Americanos - Heavenly remains another perfect fit label for me thanks to a seemingly mutual love of wonky pop peppered with hip hop chops and dub experiments, not to mention many a Weatherall remix, (though my all time favourite Weatherall mix was for Galliano's 'Skunk Funk' so notch another one up for Talkin' Loud).

Espiritu were like Heavenly alumni St Etienne's latino cousins, making shamelessly catchy pop-soul, sometimes sung in Spanish with soaring choruses over lush productions and booming drums. They really shouldve been bigger!

Years later Heavenly asked me to remix their act LCMDF which unfortunately happened in the wake of my dad's death and the result wasn't half as good as I wanted it to be. I chanced having a bash at doing an 'Only Dub Will Tear Us Apart' for St Etienne but it sadly never happened, not for want of asking. I'd still love to give it a go.

16) T Plays It Cool - Expressions In The 5th Dimension - I can't remember when this record came out, there's no date on the sleeve but given it's by a pre-Attica Blues Tony N'Wahchukwu, I'm guessing it was before Mo Wax started up. It's great either way. Full of jazzy drums, dreamy keys and Tony's surprisingly soulful vocals considering he's more known for his work behind the faders. This is a stark reminder that before the abysmal gentrification of triphop, there were simply great downtempo beats happening here in the UK.

17) Emperors New Clothes - Nature Never Repeats Itself - Back to Acid Jazz who, as I mentioned before, released some oblique material outside of the retro expectations of the genre. This was a collective effort with shades of dub-funk experimentation harking back to south London weirdos like Family Fodder and their ilk, and a touch of quasi-jazz ala Pigbag.

I knew their percussionist Mark at the time from the jam nights on Wednesdays at the Blue Note on Hoxton Square (sadly now a Bill's, I stopped their for dinner once and it felt weird), and if memory serves, he said he'd never played congas until the day they entered the studio to make their debut album. Mad if true because he was seriously good.

18) Sandals - Osocurioso - As a fresh-faced wrongun, I was a regular at Sandals' club-night Tongue Kung-Fu in Covent Garden and really fell for their brand of agitprop oddness, freeform poetry and surreal soundscapes. Sounds pretentious? No doubt, I was at art school after all, where I wound up befriending their one time sax player Dallas who briefly joined my own funk outfit Three Bean Salad. I also later discovered that Sandals ran the head-shop in central London's ropey Trocadero shopping centre where I often hung out (mainly for the arcades upstairs), it was also their rehearsal space.

I'm not sure how well some of their tunes stand up now but it was all pretty unique at the time, more of an art collective than a band which made it even more bizarre when their label (FFRR) lent on them to not make quite such experimental music after hearing their 'Cracked' EP from '94. Some of it still sounds amazing though, I opened my set at Spiritland the other night with 'Open' from this EP and I think I especially love 'Osocurioso' even more now than I did at the time. Im also sad to inform that they had nothing to do with the package holiday company of the same name.

19) Funki Porcini - Dubble (Organ Swell) - Back to the Blue Note, once a month on Thursday nights, I could generally be found at Ninjatune's Stealth night. Coldcut, like a few other folks in this selection had inadvertently changed the shape of London's musical landscape and after a few issues with their major label deal (a theme developing here perhaps) carved a new niche with their Ninjatune label, but really I don't need to explain any of this. The main thing here was, they were releasing stacks of fascinating and fun beat-laden records in a similar vain to Mo Wax but much less poe-faced, and like I said, loads of fun. I don't remember what the rest of Funki Porcini's output sounded like but this quasi-dub track with hints of jungle creeping in every so often still gets a regularly airing at Chez Wrong.

I later wound up making my own reggae and dub material for the label with Roots Manuva, and a woozy dub rework of Kid Koala which is almost impossible to find now.

20) KRS-One - De Automatic - Coming full circle with my final track is the post BDP KRS-One who released his 2nd solo effort around the time I was leaving my teens. It's oddly almost the antithesis of 'Stop The Violence' with his call to get the "auto-ma-atic (sic)" because "tonight a rapper g'wan die" but i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that it's metaphor, and simply a good old fashioned soundboy burial lyric.

Regardless I love the menacing undertones on this track, it's dark and claustrophobic, and features a sample flip - i forget where the baseline comes from now - which on hearing the original tune is surprisingly up beat and very dance floor friendly.]]>

Neneh though, another great pop anomaly like Grace Jones or Prince, steeped in underground music, yet she still made some evergreen and universally loved chart music. Raw Like Sushi captured everything which was great about the UK music scene at the time, with production credits from Bomb The Bass and a pre-Massive Attack DJ Mushroom, not to mention On-U keyboardist Nick Plytas and Essential Logic's Phil Legg. Neneh herself cut her teeth with jazz-punk situationists Rip Rig & Panic but I didn't know that at the time. I did know that this album was wicked, and stuff like 'Manchild' and this slice of Prince-esque "new power" funk, using a classic James Brown riff, remains close to perfection.

4) Depth Charge - Depth Charge - Master of the dark arts J Saul Kane ploughed the field when it came to downbeat music in the rave era. This was triphop before triphop was a dirty word, or even invented for that matter. We'd hear another of his themed 12"s on pirate and eagerly await it's release: the audio nasty of 'Dead By Dawn', the spaghetti western funk of 'Bounty Killer', I even loved his football tune (still have absolutely no interest in football!) but DC's eponymous debut is still his finest. I experienced the 2nd summer of love in '89 vicariously through my brother and sister, too young for adventures round the M25 or dancing in sweaty backroom venues to acid classics myself. Enter Kane with his antidote to rave, detuned into a dub-hop soundtrack for your comedowns or maybe for those too young to come up, in my case at least.

5) Renegade Soundwave - On TV - Sonically not too far flung from Depth Charge - I think DC even sampled an RSW track on Bounty Killer - RSW sparked my new interest in spikier, (almost) rockier music. Though they were very much an electronic act, Gary Asquith's voice harked back to their former incarnations as Mass and Rema Rema on indie label 4AD. Most people remember them for their rave crossover breakbeat beast 'The Phantom' but it was the debut LP Soundclash which opened my eyes to darker experiments with hip hop, dub and electro production. Their RSW In Dub album still sounds fresh too.

6) Ragga Twins - Ragga Trip - By the late 90's you'd rarely hear a hip hop head say he liked house, reggae purists refused to see the lineage between lovers rock and UK garage but around the turn of the 90's it often wound up in the mix all at once. Shut Up & Dance helped pave the way for hardcore and jungle with an onslaught of dark, dancehall influenced rave classics but it was their vocal collaborations I loved the most. Nicolette had that "Ella on acid" thing going on whilst Ragga Twins toasted in a classic UK chatter style over amalgamations of everything which was good on the dance floor at the time, from rare groove samples to bleeps lifted from Japanese synth-pop, it all went in the mix to create a mutated revisioning of sound system music for a new generation. Case in point was 'Ragga Trip', where brothers Flinty & Deman revisited a lyric from their Unity Sound days, toasting over the top of a rolling hip hop break and a squelchy 303 bassline. I had to buy another copy of their LP Reggae Owes Me Money 'cause I played my original one to death, and it still seems surreal that I've just made an album with these guys myself.

7) Samuelle - So You Like What You See - Whist weird crossover stuff probably suited this grubby, lovelorn teenager, I still had a thing for a sweet soul tune. I may not have dressed slick or owned a click-suit but I loved new jack swing with it's rat-a-tat beats and be-pop influences. I don't remember much else from Samuelle but this track had it all: butter-smooth harmonies, a nice drum break and that preset organ bass sound which would later become a garage staple. Perfect.

8) Daddy Freddy - Article Don - Another raggamuffin hip hop pioneer, Freddy, along with MC Asher D and producer Simon Harris brought the UK's love of skanky hip hop across the sea to the states and Jamaica. Meanwhile back on UK soil, Freddy was showing off his lyrical dexterity to Roy Castle and Cheryl Baker on Record Breakers, "what do we call you, Freddy?" asked Cheryl, "you can call me Daddy" he casually replied.

I later met Daddy Freddy while I was playing main stage at Outlook Festival in Croatia. He popped up back stage after I'd just dropped his Fashion Records classic, the fantastically titled "Baba Loo Baba L Baba Loo Baba Laba" and he excitedly told me it was his birthday. I asked him if he was playing that night "nuh it's mi birthdeh, Mungos ask mi fi chat, I chat two lyric and go." I saw him later that night on Mungos Sound, they couldn't have got him off the mic if they'd tried. Nice guy.

9) Young Disciples - Step Right On (Dub) - I got my first proper job in '91 selling fruit n veg in a supermarket in new Malden, it sucked but I was making just enough to buy a few records - £3.83 an hour! - and I bought Young Disciples' 'Road To Freedom' LP with my first paycheque. A lot of it went on Talkin' Loud releases over the next few years come to think of it.

This felt like the accumulation of all that was happening on the dance floor at the time (I assumed, I was too young to go clubbing still), taking in elements of soul, swing, hip hop, jazz, funk and in this instance dub. The richly textured production sounds amazing all these years later and I still drop 'Apparently Nothin' from time to time.

10) Corduroy - Skirt Alert - Whilst Gilles Peterson was looking ahead with Talkin' Loud, his former partner Eddie Piller was happy to release shamelessly retro sounds from the likes of Corduroy and Mother Earth on his Acid Jazz imprint, though I should stress, it wasn't solely a retro venture and plenty of forward thinking material came out of the AJ camp.

Corduroy were loads of fun. Formed by the Addison twins of 80's mod-oddities Boys Wonder and the bassist from that lot that covered 'Spirit In The Sky', you'd be forgiven for thinking they were style over content but really, lighten up, they made loads of great records including a fuzzy jazz-rock cover of Hawkwind's 'Motorhead', the latin soul of 'Something In My Eye' and 'Mini' which was like proto-Brit pop without being either boring or shit. This track's from their largely instrumental debut Dad Man Cat which - having discovered a new found love for live music beyond simply MC's and DJ's via Galliano - probably helped me crossover into rock territories. Which brings me to...

11) The Telescopes - Yeah - At college I started to dabble in guitar music, Pixies, Fugazi and Violent Femmes all hit the spot but the revelation came when my friend Phil, who read the NME like it was the bible, played me some shoegazer stuff. My Bloody Valentine were obviously great but it was the funky psychedelics of The Telescopes which fully won me over.

I've only included the first half of 'Yeah' here because it inexplicably features about 20 seconds of silence in the middle which often led people to skip to the next track thinking there was something wrong with their walkman. I spent a lot of time glued to my Walkman back then.

12) Medicine - Aruca - The other shoegazer band I loved was Medicine who were much noisier than The Telescopes but not limited to simply distortion and overdrive. Brad Laner's guitar work was one part Metal Machine Music and one part musique concrète, ear-splitting yet full of melody. They had a funk to them too, in fact one track 'Sweet Explosion' had a bass riff slyly lifted from 'The Message' by south London afro-funksters Cymande.

I got chatting with Laner after a Medicine gig in Windsor around the time, I'd made a (fairly ropey) video for this track at college, he told me to send it over, I planned to but thought better of it (it really was quite bad from what I remember).

13) Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - Satanic Reverses - This album never gets old for me. Production-wise it really should sound dated but seeing as nothing else sounded like it at the time, it still sounds as alien as it did then. Disposables main-man Michael Franti conjured the pre-rap rapping of The Last Poets, Watts Prophets, Amiri Baraka and Gil Scott Heron, his lyrics informed and delivery precise. They were the indie-kid's preferred hip hop act at the time with their industrial on-stage antics with chainsaws and TV's but there was so much more to them than that. Thanks to the current political debacle in the UK and US, tracks like 'The Winter Of The Long Hot Summer' and 'Satanic Reverses' are as lyrically potent now as they were 25 years ago, which is actually kind of sad.

14) Federation - Rusty James (Portishead Remix) - One of the most awkward memories of my teenage years was thinking the language Mo Wax boss James Lavelle used in his reviews section in Straight no Chaser magazine - "slamming' tricknological dope phatness" etc - was actually cool. I discovered some amazing records from those pages though.

In one breath Mo Wax releases take me back to the dub-hop wonder of Depth Charge a few years prior but there's another part of me that regrets how much I spent on this label, a lot of their output dated quite quickly. Fortunately there's a few stone cold killers in their catalogue like the early Attica Blues 12"s, Palm Skin Production's collabs with 2-Tone legend Rhoda Dakar and this remix by a very fresh-faced Portishead, possibly their 1st ever release under the name. It's full of the classic Persuaders-esque guitar wobbles and crunchy drums you'd expect from the west country miserablists but what I find remarkable about this is it's nod to the aforementioned new jack swing shuffle. Perfect for me, even if I wish I hadn't bought quite so much of Mo Wax's output in those first few years.

15) Espiritu - Los Americanos - Heavenly remains another perfect fit label for me thanks to a seemingly mutual love of wonky pop peppered with hip hop chops and dub experiments, not to mention many a Weatherall remix, (though my all time favourite Weatherall mix was for Galliano's 'Skunk Funk' so notch another one up for Talkin' Loud).

Espiritu were like Heavenly alumni St Etienne's latino cousins, making shamelessly catchy pop-soul, sometimes sung in Spanish with soaring choruses over lush productions and booming drums. They really shouldve been bigger!

Years later Heavenly asked me to remix their act LCMDF which unfortunately happened in the wake of my dad's death and the result wasn't half as good as I wanted it to be. I chanced having a bash at doing an 'Only Dub Will Tear Us Apart' for St Etienne but it sadly never happened, not for want of asking. I'd still love to give it a go.

16) T Plays It Cool - Expressions In The 5th Dimension - I can't remember when this record came out, there's no date on the sleeve but given it's by a pre-Attica Blues Tony N'Wahchukwu, I'm guessing it was before Mo Wax started up. It's great either way. Full of jazzy drums, dreamy keys and Tony's surprisingly soulful vocals considering he's more known for his work behind the faders. This is a stark reminder that before the abysmal gentrification of triphop, there were simply great downtempo beats happening here in the UK.

17) Emperors New Clothes - Nature Never Repeats Itself - Back to Acid Jazz who, as I mentioned before, released some oblique material outside of the retro expectations of the genre. This was a collective effort with shades of dub-funk experimentation harking back to south London weirdos like Family Fodder and their ilk, and a touch of quasi-jazz ala Pigbag.

I knew their percussionist Mark at the time from the jam nights on Wednesdays at the Blue Note on Hoxton Square (sadly now a Bill's, I stopped their for dinner once and it felt weird), and if memory serves, he said he'd never played congas until the day they entered the studio to make their debut album. Mad if true because he was seriously good.

18) Sandals - Osocurioso - As a fresh-faced wrongun, I was a regular at Sandals' club-night Tongue Kung-Fu in Covent Garden and really fell for their brand of agitprop oddness, freeform poetry and surreal soundscapes. Sounds pretentious? No doubt, I was at art school after all, where I wound up befriending their one time sax player Dallas who briefly joined my own funk outfit Three Bean Salad. I also later discovered that Sandals ran the head-shop in central London's ropey Trocadero shopping centre where I often hung out (mainly for the arcades upstairs), it was also their rehearsal space.

I'm not sure how well some of their tunes stand up now but it was all pretty unique at the time, more of an art collective than a band which made it even more bizarre when their label (FFRR) lent on them to not make quite such experimental music after hearing their 'Cracked' EP from '94. Some of it still sounds amazing though, I opened my set at Spiritland the other night with 'Open' from this EP and I think I especially love 'Osocurioso' even more now than I did at the time. Im also sad to inform that they had nothing to do with the package holiday company of the same name.

19) Funki Porcini - Dubble (Organ Swell) - Back to the Blue Note, once a month on Thursday nights, I could generally be found at Ninjatune's Stealth night. Coldcut, like a few other folks in this selection had inadvertently changed the shape of London's musical landscape and after a few issues with their major label deal (a theme developing here perhaps) carved a new niche with their Ninjatune label, but really I don't need to explain any of this. The main thing here was, they were releasing stacks of fascinating and fun beat-laden records in a similar vain to Mo Wax but much less poe-faced, and like I said, loads of fun. I don't remember what the rest of Funki Porcini's output sounded like but this quasi-dub track with hints of jungle creeping in every so often still gets a regularly airing at Chez Wrong.

I later wound up making my own reggae and dub material for the label with Roots Manuva, and a woozy dub rework of Kid Koala which is almost impossible to find now.

20) KRS-One - De Automatic - Coming full circle with my final track is the post BDP KRS-One who released his 2nd solo effort around the time I was leaving my teens. It's oddly almost the antithesis of 'Stop The Violence' with his call to get the "auto-ma-atic (sic)" because "tonight a rapper g'wan die" but i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that it's metaphor, and simply a good old fashioned soundboy burial lyric.

Regardless I love the menacing undertones on this track, it's dark and claustrophobic, and features a sample flip - i forget where the baseline comes from now - which on hearing the original tune is surprisingly up beat and very dance floor friendly.]]> 1273048 no no Sun, 02 Apr 2017 11:30:21 +0200 2017-04-02T11:30:21+02:00 1:19:27 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/future-frequencies-009/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Hipnotic Jazz...

"As usual I’ve taken the dusk dubs ethos pretty literally for this selection – randomly floating through my collection of recent listens and selecting tracks that would feel right to play with good friends over a bottle of good Rioja after a good night as the sun rises (or like one of those listening sessions where your shuffle function gets it spot on, but in this case with me giving it a gentle nudge).

There’s a few of my favourites from recent and not so recent years here, and in many ways the selection is a nod to some of the amazing jazz (and related) artists that are influencing the direction of my creative journey at the moment, i.e. reawakening my deep felt passion for jazz music, which has led to me picking up my study of the saxophone after a 12 year hiatus.

Big up #duskdubs - one love"

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we have invited back singer, songwriter, producer, DJ and all round musical talent, Mr. Joseph Mailk. Just like last year’s amazing mixtape ‘DIVERSE PART TWO MIXTAPE’, Mr Malik has come with something very special….

We’ll let Joseph explain.....

AULD SKOOL 90S MIXTAPE
RETROSPECTIVE OF SCOTLANDS BEAT HEADS FROM 1990 /1999

“Back in the day as a young teenager in the late 80s in Glasgow, I sold my vast comic book collection to buy yet more records to expand my knowledge of music. Every Saturday myself, Sace and Easi would go round the city hunting for breaks or just records to play at our club night Babylon on Tuesday nights on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow in 1990.

We then met DJ Awunsounds at a DMC Competition at Furry Murrys …. we all shared the same ideas and concepts of music, and a West Coast-East Coast bond of friendship began. Sace and Easi would go on to form the band NT, with Sace’s childhood friend Andrew Docherty on vocals, who had one of the most powerful soulful voices I’d ever heard, and this is a boy from Pasiley.

I myself grew Weary of Glasgow due to race issues in the city and moved east to Edinburgh and formed Blacka’nized with Andre Hudson in 1993, and little did we all know that in 1995 we would all meet again in London, signed to the Stereo MCS label Natural Response….NT, Blacka’nized, MC Mello and Manaseh. This label was forward thinking and gave me funding to start the East Coast Project with Blacka’nized, Awunsounds, Coco And The Bean, 3 Bag Brew, Suga Bullit, Freshly Sqeezed, The Outanationals, Graff Artist, Derm and the Fallen Angels, and Photographer Andy Shaw.

We were stronger as a collective and as Edinburgh is a small city, we had more in kinship with Bristol rather than London or Manchester. As the music press and labels were really only looking to sign bands from these two big cities, we all thought fuck it, we are underdogs and the label let us just get on with making music and becoming better with no hype. We were all skint, so we shared equipment and samples and Awunsounds..... Stevie Christie played on just about every band in our wee city. Blacka’nized back then only had a Akai 950 sampler, Cubase, and a very old Tascam tape machine, but most of all a vast record collection of Joseph Malik and Andre Hudson, two young beat-heads, and somehow it just worked, but mainly due to our Engineer Unkle Jack, a lone-gun genius who was grumpy as fuck, but he took us under his wing and informed us… that music technology would catch up with what we were trying to do.

We went on to release so many tracks that we lost count around 1999 and it’s been really amazing to go through the vaults and hear these again. Writing the research at the same time …..A Book of Beats, but most of all I’d really like to thank the musicians and DJs who’s music that was unreleased, for giving us the pleasure to hear it at last, to meet old friends from 20 years ago old and share studio tales of loops, clubs, not sleeping for days, 2 many party’s hangovers. Now we are in our 40s and 50s with kids, jobs, houses….. oh how life has changed but the music will always be there, this is our story our journey sit back listen and enjoy” [[ Joseph Malik ]]

Joseph breaks it down with his..... “A Book Of Beats”

1) BLACKA’NIZED - SUMMER NIGHTS My co-producer Andre had a dictaphone to record his raps and turned his on in private and when a group of us army hip hop heads came to the studio in Leith he only told me and Uncle Jack when they left the studio, i just simply said lets sample that and not before long I was playing Isaac Hayes Walk on by under it job done and mixed ready for the East Coast Project Album.

2) BLACKA’NIZED - SYMETRICAL JAZZ What can i say but a bench mark for Edinburgh hip hop its my all time fave as well as many others around the world and I’m so proud of him for making this record , my DJ brother Mr Awunsounds ,, this track took so long to record and I was lucky to see it progress in the studio as part of our Mo Wax sessions if i’m right it took 2 samplers just to keep it going for the mix so complex wonderful and up there with the greats.

3) NT – DISTANCE BY AIR (DUB) Back in the day around the early 1990's myself, DJ’s Sace and Easi ran a club called Babylon in Glasgow which was a mixture of dub and hip hop, no one up north was doing this and we made a wee name for ourselves for being bold. NT were in the studio hard, recording and becoming a group, we would fly-post at 2am in the morning with this playing nonstop in Sace moblie and it still blows me away 20 plus years later.

4) BLACKA’NIZED - VIBEBRATIONS Joseph Malik and Andre Hudson Formed Blacka’nized in 1993, we were both tuff street kids, and we had to be as Scotland was a tuff place for black, Asian folks. We grew weary of fighting and used our minds to make music but not just any music - strong music that would bring folks of all races into the studio. This was our 1st track where we found out who we wanted to be and all the 1st 3 tracks on this mix tape were recorded around the same 2 years , Scotland had a very deep underground sound NT, Awunsounds, Blacka’nized are the leaders of this movement. We recorded the very young hot saxaphone player Martin Kershaw in our Balfour Street studio - but somehow we made this.

5) BLACKA’N IZED - FUTURE GENERATIONS We moved on with the Akai 2000 sampler with this track, A much cleaner sound and the drums were on point, as well the vocals from the talented Andre Hudson who for me was No.1 in Scotland on the mic - my brother in beats.

6) BLACKA’NIZED - MEDIALOGICAL FEAT HYBIRD AND DJ PLUS ONE So Plus One brings this kid from the states into the studio in Leith and he kills it 1st time, we mixed it the next day. So hyped on seeing where we could go with his vocals being so off beat, so we reprogrammed all the drums to match his lyrics it still holds up today.

7) BLACKA’NIZED - BATTLE STAR SKIT For those who know me well, I’m a huge sci-fi geek, sample head and comic book freak, with an odd ball knowledge of all things. I’m lucky that Andre was of the same mind in mixing these ideas into hip-hop, as he had a deep love and respect for Wing Chun and Kung-Fu movies, and most of all Prince Paul, I don’t even have the Battle Star Galactica Record any more ! I gave it away to Linkwood years ago when we were recording ‘Miles Away’ With lindsay Todd label boss at Fire Cracker Records, and it’s a shame that track can’t be on this as the best of Edinburgh but it wasn’t recorded in the 90s, they were part of the 2nd wave in the 2000s. Which i shall research in volume 2 later this year .

8) BLACKA’NIZED – SOLDIER MONK FEAT. THE DYNAMIC DUO came out to the scene with help from Reachout who had a studio in his flat in Albert Street in Leith, these kids would come to the studio with their records in school bags and would be sneaked into Reachout’s club night ‘Seen which was during the 90s and by far Scotland’s best hip hop night with DJ Awunsounds Nasty P, Richie Rufftone, Plus One, Babes, Frosty J on the decks.

9) BLACKA’NIZED - UFO BEATS Holy fuck did we have fun with the MPC 2000 and a fresh haul of breaks from ’Proffessor Plastics’ record shop in West Richmond Street, he was our mentor and gave us so many breaks and knowledge.

10) BLACKA’NIZED - FADE AWAY FEAT NUBIA I’m still gutted to this day that this record was not a hit, it should have been huge, we found Nubia singing for the Green Sleeves label as Sandra Melody, she blazed the track with Andre dropping the Andy Williams ‘Can’t Get Used To Losing You’ sample. We spoke to various labels, and they all came up short on our offer - so in the end we said no and put it out on our own wee label Yush Records on 7 inch, so it’s out there if u can find it.

11) BLACKA’NIZED - LIVIN INNA JUNGLE FEAT MATICK Again another big record haul from ‘Proffessor Plastic’ beats and Kung Fu samples galore and with the help from Jamaican singer man like Matick from the Hendry family in Leith.

12) BLACKA’NIZED - RADIO TBILISI Our time in the ex-Soviet Republic of Georgia would just take too long to tell, but this was recorded in a bombed out radio station with bullets holes on the wall, they had never heard hip-hop before or DJs. I gave away most of my records I had with me as a way of saying spread the word hip-hop - it’s yours to join in and be part of something other than war.

13) BLACKA’NIZED - HAM AND CHEESE FEAT MC MELLO AND AWUNSOUNDS We all loved, respected and looked up to MC Mello. He would come up to Scotland to play gigs with DJs Sace and Easi in 1990s then around the mid-90s he would play at Reachouts Seen club night and many times at my night Lizzard Lounge , We got him into James Lockes studio round the back of Easter Road Stadium to record this, and it was really great fun, he was doing this Snaggle Puss vocal for a laugh and we all said yeah keep doing that and Awun on the kuts, my main bro Andre on the beats and my intro just made it one of all time hip-hop records from Edinburgh.

14) AWUNSOUNDS - AULD BLUES You have no idea how lucky you are to hear this as its from Awunsounds private vaults of unreleased music. It was recorded as part of the Mowax sessions and has been hidden away ever since. Many thanks to my fellow Miles Davis fan for letting me share this music to you at last.

15) NT - RESPONSE Again another amazing record from the vaults, and did you know this came out on a 12 inch and 7 inch promo on the Stereo MCS ‘Response Labe’l as well as Blackanized and MC Mello. We couldn’t believe we were all together again and in London, recording - doing what we wanted to do with our lives, which was music. This record is very important to me, but most of all to the singer Andrew Docherty, who I met up with just before new year to discuss NT being on this mixtape. We hadn’t seen each other in 20 years and had a good laugh over more than a few pints as we looked back at the history of the Auld Skool 90s - This should have been a hit all over the world.and i still play this out and folks still ask what the hell is this when can i buy it online or hear the album

16) BLACKANIZED - VERTICAL FORMS This was recorded in our all new supa studio in Broughton Street, which was buzzing at the time, as I had a club night with Toby Shippey from Salsa Celtica in an old church just down the street called ‘Lizzard Lounge’. This new studio had Aqua Bassino hanging out in studio 2 making deep house beats, Irvine Welsh recording Trainspotting talking book version for cassette tape, and Finlay Quaye popping in for a cup of tea and recording demos. It was an amazing time and Edinburgh was alive -many thanks to Irvine Welsh for getting the world to look at Edinburgh outside of the festival and down to Leith , With having my club so close to the studio it was easy to get super star trumpet player Colin Steele to record. He would also record with Aqua Bassino as well, but again Andre pulls out George Russel ‘Vertical Forms’ sample and we mix it into some sci-fi far out jazz beats.

17) NT - IF YOU DON’T Let’s start with the sample ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ by the Prophets of Soul, it’s fucking mind blowing and with the vocals of Andrew Docherty and the production of Sace and Easi, it made me think I could sing - it was b-boy folk music…. just simply ground breaking.

18) BLACKANIZED – CRACKPIPE It just all happened so fast... We looped Hodges, James and Smith ‘Nobody’ which I had sitting in my record box for a while, and I was thinking of getting a girl to sing on it. I’d never sung before, and was really shy about it and i just thought fuck it I will sing on it, and it turned out to be our biggest and only hit. I never really liked singing much after that, and didn’t record any of myself singing untill 2003 for the Diverse album on Compost records.

19) AWUNSOUNDS - MESSAGES is really the who’s who of Edinburgh and yet another unreleased track from the Mo Wax Sessions. I still think back to hearing all 3 tracks on DAT tape in Flapper Jays studio, Awun had a flat just round the corner from me in Montgomery Street in which he had a prirate radio show with DJ Babes from 3 Bag Brew, Reachout and the much loved and our 2nd DMC champ from Edinburgh DJ Ritchie Rufftone plus many others. He broadcasted the show from his flat and it was our wee hangout for a few years. There was no moblie phones back then, so his answer machine was the only way to get hold of him. Just some of the voices on this are Philly, DJ Graig Smith, Gary Morton and Ahmet Kara, Reachout, Flapper Jay, Andre Hudson, brother Saah DJ Babes and my godson Tyrone Hendry from the Hendry family at the very start, also let’s not forget brother Chuck and DJ Sace from Glasgow, as well as BT to trying cut off the phone for 30 quid.

20) COCO AND THE BEAN – MELTED I loved this band and Awun shared a new flat with Taff . Edinburgh was that small as you can guess by now, the band were: on vocals Roseanne Erskine, a truly wonderful singer with Les and Taff on production, with Awunsounds on the decks and Stevie Christe on keyboards. This homegrown group were making music from the early 90s way before i ever heard Portishead and were a very strong part of the East Coast Project Family

21) BLACKA’NIZED - INTERPLANETARY FEAT REACHOUT AND MARTIN KERSHAW Andre Hudson was a force of nature in the studio. I wasn’t always able to there due to being a new dad, but when I missed out on sessions like this with Martin Kershaw on Saxophone, with my other close friend and music brother Patrick Coll aka Reachout, I was gutted and the production skills and vocals speak for themselves, but most of all Reachout did a hell of a lot for hip-hop with his club Seen and his deep faith in the whole culture of hip hop even going to New York, where he now lives to meet the Zulu Nation, I feel he’s the Eastcoast project Zulu Nation Ambassador. He Afrika Bambattaa to Edinburgh, and Bam wanted to hang out in Leith, not his hotel - he wanted to see our hood.we all hung out in leith talking about hip hop it was unreal we even got the bus to the dj gig that he was playing at he didnt care and im thinking this is one of the real founders of hip hop in leith.

22) BLACKA’NIZED - BREAKS AND BEATS SKIT I was always wanting to be one step ahead as a dj with having a studio and a club in the same street, so instead of buying records I’d make my own and play them back to back 2 copies, and my brother in beats would always do the damage on the MPC 2000.

23) BLACKA’NIZED - NEW THOUGHTS (360 MIX) This track all started with the O’Jays Family Reunion sample for some reason it had a crazy stereo FX on it, so as we looped it and it sounded very spaced out, and with Andre name checking all the East Coast Project and the Leith walk family, it was our battle cry. We really were proud to be in Leith making music and being happy.

24) BLACKA’NIZED - MILES OUTA TIME (MO WAX MIX) Dam our 1st ever release and on a very important album. We got our brother Awun in for the kuts, and I had been checking Miles Davis Bitchs Brew over and over again just to find that one bassline that just sounds spooky, dark and moody. It was fun, but then we never got paid from James Lavelle and the same thing happened to many of the other brothers on that album, Andre and myself made a pact not to let anyone rip us of ever again.

25) BLACKA’NIZED - SENEGAL DUB FEAT DENBAR If I was away dj’ing the studio still kept recording, due again to Andre being so productive, he would always have bullets of beats in the chamber, just as I would respond with new samples to add or make new loops. I came back from dj’ing in London to walk into the studio and hear this killer king Tubby loop with super cool vocals from Denbar. This really was one of the true finds from the vaults, but from being into touch with Andre recently there’s lots more in the Blacka’nized vaults .

26) BLACKANIZED MEETS THE OUTANATIONALS - ENTA THE BALFA Unkle Jack’s studio was in Balfour Street in Leith, it became our base. He was grumpy as fuck, but the best engineer I’ve ever met. Even still today, after 20 odd years he was Obi Wan and Gandalf of sound and tech software and recording. He pushed us to work with musicians and we then became four, with session players Stevie Christie, who would then write and co-produce with Blacka’nized and David Demus Donnelly. They got me and Andre to follow the rule of key or pitch…. IE guys sample what you want but gives us a key to work with. We became better, we worked with strings and gospel choirs and learned so much in that process and I really have to say I would not be singing anything now if not for Stevie and Demus.

27) NT - STORM I didn’t hear this until it was playing in the record company office in London. It stopped me in my tracks and I was frozen in time… just checking Andy Docherty’s vocals and lyrics with so much sorrow and darkness, I will never forget hearing this for the 1st time and maybe the same for you as this is unreleased.

28) 3 BAG BREW - IN BETWEEN MOUTHFULS FEAT DOUGLAS DUNCAN This band only released two tracks with the East Coast Project, and this was the last track in 1995 and will be the last track in 2017, simply due to the very sad loss of trumpet player Douglas Duncan. I seen him play at Kulus Jazz Joint which is now called Henrys Cellar Bar and if you wanted to find a horn player or drummer or bass player that’s where you went to find them. Me and Awun had the pleasure of dj’ing before and after John Rae, Ronnie Rae, Colin Steele, Martin Kershaw and most of all Douglas. The magical music you hear is the production skills from the 3Bag Brew crew DJ Babes, Nik PT, Beefy Breaks with Stevie Christie on keys, yeah him again…. There was an unwritten rule back then that if you didn’t have Stevie Keys on your record back then,It wouldn’t be any good he just always brought good luck and a happy vibe in the studio I’m very lucky he’s one of my best mates, I’d like to thank Babes for at last telling me the sample for this wonderful track its Wilbert Longmire - ‘Good Morning’ ]]>

Time: 113 minutes

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we have invited back singer, songwriter, producer, DJ and all round musical talent, Mr. Joseph Mailk. Just like last year’s amazing mixtape ‘DIVERSE PART TWO MIXTAPE’, Mr Malik has come with something very special….

We’ll let Joseph explain.....

AULD SKOOL 90S MIXTAPE
RETROSPECTIVE OF SCOTLANDS BEAT HEADS FROM 1990 /1999

“Back in the day as a young teenager in the late 80s in Glasgow, I sold my vast comic book collection to buy yet more records to expand my knowledge of music. Every Saturday myself, Sace and Easi would go round the city hunting for breaks or just records to play at our club night Babylon on Tuesday nights on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow in 1990.

We then met DJ Awunsounds at a DMC Competition at Furry Murrys …. we all shared the same ideas and concepts of music, and a West Coast-East Coast bond of friendship began. Sace and Easi would go on to form the band NT, with Sace’s childhood friend Andrew Docherty on vocals, who had one of the most powerful soulful voices I’d ever heard, and this is a boy from Pasiley.

I myself grew Weary of Glasgow due to race issues in the city and moved east to Edinburgh and formed Blacka’nized with Andre Hudson in 1993, and little did we all know that in 1995 we would all meet again in London, signed to the Stereo MCS label Natural Response….NT, Blacka’nized, MC Mello and Manaseh. This label was forward thinking and gave me funding to start the East Coast Project with Blacka’nized, Awunsounds, Coco And The Bean, 3 Bag Brew, Suga Bullit, Freshly Sqeezed, The Outanationals, Graff Artist, Derm and the Fallen Angels, and Photographer Andy Shaw.

We were stronger as a collective and as Edinburgh is a small city, we had more in kinship with Bristol rather than London or Manchester. As the music press and labels were really only looking to sign bands from these two big cities, we all thought fuck it, we are underdogs and the label let us just get on with making music and becoming better with no hype. We were all skint, so we shared equipment and samples and Awunsounds..... Stevie Christie played on just about every band in our wee city. Blacka’nized back then only had a Akai 950 sampler, Cubase, and a very old Tascam tape machine, but most of all a vast record collection of Joseph Malik and Andre Hudson, two young beat-heads, and somehow it just worked, but mainly due to our Engineer Unkle Jack, a lone-gun genius who was grumpy as fuck, but he took us under his wing and informed us… that music technology would catch up with what we were trying to do.

We went on to release so many tracks that we lost count around 1999 and it’s been really amazing to go through the vaults and hear these again. Writing the research at the same time …..A Book of Beats, but most of all I’d really like to thank the musicians and DJs who’s music that was unreleased, for giving us the pleasure to hear it at last, to meet old friends from 20 years ago old and share studio tales of loops, clubs, not sleeping for days, 2 many party’s hangovers. Now we are in our 40s and 50s with kids, jobs, houses….. oh how life has changed but the music will always be there, this is our story our journey sit back listen and enjoy” [[ Joseph Malik ]]

Joseph breaks it down with his..... “A Book Of Beats”

1) BLACKA’NIZED - SUMMER NIGHTS My co-producer Andre had a dictaphone to record his raps and turned his on in private and when a group of us army hip hop heads came to the studio in Leith he only told me and Uncle Jack when they left the studio, i just simply said lets sample that and not before long I was playing Isaac Hayes Walk on by under it job done and mixed ready for the East Coast Project Album.

2) BLACKA’NIZED - SYMETRICAL JAZZ What can i say but a bench mark for Edinburgh hip hop its my all time fave as well as many others around the world and I’m so proud of him for making this record , my DJ brother Mr Awunsounds ,, this track took so long to record and I was lucky to see it progress in the studio as part of our Mo Wax sessions if i’m right it took 2 samplers just to keep it going for the mix so complex wonderful and up there with the greats.

3) NT – DISTANCE BY AIR (DUB) Back in the day around the early 1990's myself, DJ’s Sace and Easi ran a club called Babylon in Glasgow which was a mixture of dub and hip hop, no one up north was doing this and we made a wee name for ourselves for being bold. NT were in the studio hard, recording and becoming a group, we would fly-post at 2am in the morning with this playing nonstop in Sace moblie and it still blows me away 20 plus years later.

4) BLACKA’NIZED - VIBEBRATIONS Joseph Malik and Andre Hudson Formed Blacka’nized in 1993, we were both tuff street kids, and we had to be as Scotland was a tuff place for black, Asian folks. We grew weary of fighting and used our minds to make music but not just any music - strong music that would bring folks of all races into the studio. This was our 1st track where we found out who we wanted to be and all the 1st 3 tracks on this mix tape were recorded around the same 2 years , Scotland had a very deep underground sound NT, Awunsounds, Blacka’nized are the leaders of this movement. We recorded the very young hot saxaphone player Martin Kershaw in our Balfour Street studio - but somehow we made this.

5) BLACKA’N IZED - FUTURE GENERATIONS We moved on with the Akai 2000 sampler with this track, A much cleaner sound and the drums were on point, as well the vocals from the talented Andre Hudson who for me was No.1 in Scotland on the mic - my brother in beats.

6) BLACKA’NIZED - MEDIALOGICAL FEAT HYBIRD AND DJ PLUS ONE So Plus One brings this kid from the states into the studio in Leith and he kills it 1st time, we mixed it the next day. So hyped on seeing where we could go with his vocals being so off beat, so we reprogrammed all the drums to match his lyrics it still holds up today.

7) BLACKA’NIZED - BATTLE STAR SKIT For those who know me well, I’m a huge sci-fi geek, sample head and comic book freak, with an odd ball knowledge of all things. I’m lucky that Andre was of the same mind in mixing these ideas into hip-hop, as he had a deep love and respect for Wing Chun and Kung-Fu movies, and most of all Prince Paul, I don’t even have the Battle Star Galactica Record any more ! I gave it away to Linkwood years ago when we were recording ‘Miles Away’ With lindsay Todd label boss at Fire Cracker Records, and it’s a shame that track can’t be on this as the best of Edinburgh but it wasn’t recorded in the 90s, they were part of the 2nd wave in the 2000s. Which i shall research in volume 2 later this year .

8) BLACKA’NIZED – SOLDIER MONK FEAT. THE DYNAMIC DUO came out to the scene with help from Reachout who had a studio in his flat in Albert Street in Leith, these kids would come to the studio with their records in school bags and would be sneaked into Reachout’s club night ‘Seen which was during the 90s and by far Scotland’s best hip hop night with DJ Awunsounds Nasty P, Richie Rufftone, Plus One, Babes, Frosty J on the decks.

9) BLACKA’NIZED - UFO BEATS Holy fuck did we have fun with the MPC 2000 and a fresh haul of breaks from ’Proffessor Plastics’ record shop in West Richmond Street, he was our mentor and gave us so many breaks and knowledge.

10) BLACKA’NIZED - FADE AWAY FEAT NUBIA I’m still gutted to this day that this record was not a hit, it should have been huge, we found Nubia singing for the Green Sleeves label as Sandra Melody, she blazed the track with Andre dropping the Andy Williams ‘Can’t Get Used To Losing You’ sample. We spoke to various labels, and they all came up short on our offer - so in the end we said no and put it out on our own wee label Yush Records on 7 inch, so it’s out there if u can find it.

11) BLACKA’NIZED - LIVIN INNA JUNGLE FEAT MATICK Again another big record haul from ‘Proffessor Plastic’ beats and Kung Fu samples galore and with the help from Jamaican singer man like Matick from the Hendry family in Leith.

12) BLACKA’NIZED - RADIO TBILISI Our time in the ex-Soviet Republic of Georgia would just take too long to tell, but this was recorded in a bombed out radio station with bullets holes on the wall, they had never heard hip-hop before or DJs. I gave away most of my records I had with me as a way of saying spread the word hip-hop - it’s yours to join in and be part of something other than war.

13) BLACKA’NIZED - HAM AND CHEESE FEAT MC MELLO AND AWUNSOUNDS We all loved, respected and looked up to MC Mello. He would come up to Scotland to play gigs with DJs Sace and Easi in 1990s then around the mid-90s he would play at Reachouts Seen club night and many times at my night Lizzard Lounge , We got him into James Lockes studio round the back of Easter Road Stadium to record this, and it was really great fun, he was doing this Snaggle Puss vocal for a laugh and we all said yeah keep doing that and Awun on the kuts, my main bro Andre on the beats and my intro just made it one of all time hip-hop records from Edinburgh.

14) AWUNSOUNDS - AULD BLUES You have no idea how lucky you are to hear this as its from Awunsounds private vaults of unreleased music. It was recorded as part of the Mowax sessions and has been hidden away ever since. Many thanks to my fellow Miles Davis fan for letting me share this music to you at last.

15) NT - RESPONSE Again another amazing record from the vaults, and did you know this came out on a 12 inch and 7 inch promo on the Stereo MCS ‘Response Labe’l as well as Blackanized and MC Mello. We couldn’t believe we were all together again and in London, recording - doing what we wanted to do with our lives, which was music. This record is very important to me, but most of all to the singer Andrew Docherty, who I met up with just before new year to discuss NT being on this mixtape. We hadn’t seen each other in 20 years and had a good laugh over more than a few pints as we looked back at the history of the Auld Skool 90s - This should have been a hit all over the world.and i still play this out and folks still ask what the hell is this when can i buy it online or hear the album

16) BLACKANIZED - VERTICAL FORMS This was recorded in our all new supa studio in Broughton Street, which was buzzing at the time, as I had a club night with Toby Shippey from Salsa Celtica in an old church just down the street called ‘Lizzard Lounge’. This new studio had Aqua Bassino hanging out in studio 2 making deep house beats, Irvine Welsh recording Trainspotting talking book version for cassette tape, and Finlay Quaye popping in for a cup of tea and recording demos. It was an amazing time and Edinburgh was alive -many thanks to Irvine Welsh for getting the world to look at Edinburgh outside of the festival and down to Leith , With having my club so close to the studio it was easy to get super star trumpet player Colin Steele to record. He would also record with Aqua Bassino as well, but again Andre pulls out George Russel ‘Vertical Forms’ sample and we mix it into some sci-fi far out jazz beats.

17) NT - IF YOU DON’T Let’s start with the sample ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ by the Prophets of Soul, it’s fucking mind blowing and with the vocals of Andrew Docherty and the production of Sace and Easi, it made me think I could sing - it was b-boy folk music…. just simply ground breaking.

18) BLACKANIZED – CRACKPIPE It just all happened so fast... We looped Hodges, James and Smith ‘Nobody’ which I had sitting in my record box for a while, and I was thinking of getting a girl to sing on it. I’d never sung before, and was really shy about it and i just thought fuck it I will sing on it, and it turned out to be our biggest and only hit. I never really liked singing much after that, and didn’t record any of myself singing untill 2003 for the Diverse album on Compost records.

19) AWUNSOUNDS - MESSAGES is really the who’s who of Edinburgh and yet another unreleased track from the Mo Wax Sessions. I still think back to hearing all 3 tracks on DAT tape in Flapper Jays studio, Awun had a flat just round the corner from me in Montgomery Street in which he had a prirate radio show with DJ Babes from 3 Bag Brew, Reachout and the much loved and our 2nd DMC champ from Edinburgh DJ Ritchie Rufftone plus many others. He broadcasted the show from his flat and it was our wee hangout for a few years. There was no moblie phones back then, so his answer machine was the only way to get hold of him. Just some of the voices on this are Philly, DJ Graig Smith, Gary Morton and Ahmet Kara, Reachout, Flapper Jay, Andre Hudson, brother Saah DJ Babes and my godson Tyrone Hendry from the Hendry family at the very start, also let’s not forget brother Chuck and DJ Sace from Glasgow, as well as BT to trying cut off the phone for 30 quid.

20) COCO AND THE BEAN – MELTED I loved this band and Awun shared a new flat with Taff . Edinburgh was that small as you can guess by now, the band were: on vocals Roseanne Erskine, a truly wonderful singer with Les and Taff on production, with Awunsounds on the decks and Stevie Christe on keyboards. This homegrown group were making music from the early 90s way before i ever heard Portishead and were a very strong part of the East Coast Project Family

21) BLACKA’NIZED - INTERPLANETARY FEAT REACHOUT AND MARTIN KERSHAW Andre Hudson was a force of nature in the studio. I wasn’t always able to there due to being a new dad, but when I missed out on sessions like this with Martin Kershaw on Saxophone, with my other close friend and music brother Patrick Coll aka Reachout, I was gutted and the production skills and vocals speak for themselves, but most of all Reachout did a hell of a lot for hip-hop with his club Seen and his deep faith in the whole culture of hip hop even going to New York, where he now lives to meet the Zulu Nation, I feel he’s the Eastcoast project Zulu Nation Ambassador. He Afrika Bambattaa to Edinburgh, and Bam wanted to hang out in Leith, not his hotel - he wanted to see our hood.we all hung out in leith talking about hip hop it was unreal we even got the bus to the dj gig that he was playing at he didnt care and im thinking this is one of the real founders of hip hop in leith.

22) BLACKA’NIZED - BREAKS AND BEATS SKIT I was always wanting to be one step ahead as a dj with having a studio and a club in the same street, so instead of buying records I’d make my own and play them back to back 2 copies, and my brother in beats would always do the damage on the MPC 2000.

24) BLACKA’NIZED - MILES OUTA TIME (MO WAX MIX) Dam our 1st ever release and on a very important album. We got our brother Awun in for the kuts, and I had been checking Miles Davis Bitchs Brew over and over again just to find that one bassline that just sounds spooky, dark and moody. It was fun, but then we never got paid from James Lavelle and the same thing happened to many of the other brothers on that album, Andre and myself made a pact not to let anyone rip us of ever again.

25) BLACKA’NIZED - SENEGAL DUB FEAT DENBAR If I was away dj’ing the studio still kept recording, due again to Andre being so productive, he would always have bullets of beats in the chamber, just as I would respond with new samples to add or make new loops. I came back from dj’ing in London to walk into the studio and hear this killer king Tubby loop with super cool vocals from Denbar. This really was one of the true finds from the vaults, but from being into touch with Andre recently there’s lots more in the Blacka’nized vaults .

26) BLACKANIZED MEETS THE OUTANATIONALS - ENTA THE BALFA Unkle Jack’s studio was in Balfour Street in Leith, it became our base. He was grumpy as fuck, but the best engineer I’ve ever met.

Artist: Dusk Dubs OST Special 2017
Title: DD0404
Style: Soundtrack/Scores
Time: 95 minutes
Date: 2017-02-26

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome you to our 2017's Dusk Dubs OST Special.

This time, the scores!

Music that was composed and performed specifically to enhance the scene or feelings portrayed within the movie. What you will hear, is a collection of our favourites. From the most recent to the oldest, the most iconic, music involving emotions of sorrow, happiness, fear, anger, excitement and wonder. Let us take you back to those moments you felt the pain of Sam Bell looking back at Earth, or the absolute terror at the thought of a Xenomorph stalking you on LV-426. Be completely immersed in Hitchcock's many thrillers, and allow your mind to wander to a galaxy far, far away. Feel goose bumps at hearing the music associated with a gang of kids looking for One Eyed Willy, and remember that Goonies Never Say Die. Laugh when you hear the opening music to the greatest comedy of all time, and try not to let your mind replay a conversation about the white zone being for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only, not forgetting there is no stopping in the red zone. And of course, let's not forget when Arnie see's the truth on Mars, tries to terminate Sarah, and of course…..GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!!!

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Salvatore Muscat to the Dusk Dubs family....

"It was on a rainy night after a rave in Bristol (probably Dreamscape) in 1993, where we crashed in the living room at a friend's house which had a massive sound system blaring this awesome music to a mural backdrop on it read.... "Cannabis Cafe - Smokin Cuts", with some of the tracks from Massive Attack (Heat Miser) which were pretty post rave, David Holmes (Gone), Guy Called Gerald (Fever ) and Coldcut (True Skool).

I was enjoying the moody, dark, yet lyrical sounds with loads of samples that I was hearing. Years passed, till when a few year's back it all came back to me and I started digging deeper. Names like Tricky and Portishead always came up (obviously) but I went deeper and deeper by discovering the awesome sounds of Earthling (Echo on my Mind) and Terranova (Bomb Bastards).

So that was it for me, some great mid week sessions at my local followed, discovering Kanute (Fingerprints) and Red Snapper (Snapper). Many more compilations followed, where hip-hop became trip-hop and turned into downtempo, though discovering Wordup (We Wanna Go Back) and that's what I exactly did, discovering DJ Shadow (Midnight in a perfect World) and DJ Cam (Birds also sing for Annamaria) and Mighty Blizzard (Is it a wizzard or a blizzard) and of lately FourTet (Glue of the world) which just proves trip-hop influences are getting bigger and stronger. Boozoo Bajou (Keep Going) was a great discovery as was Screenatorium (Hypnosapiens) cinematic feeling and the appearance of Roots Manuva in loads of tracks that give that magic and smoky feeling .

As later on artists have taken inspiration from many other sources including world and orchestral influences like Cinematic Orchestra, although always keeping that oldschool and moody feeling. The tunes the Massives essembled by hand, between cups of herbal tea and lods of spliffs opened a poetic , evocative , emotional vein of music , which is still connecting hearts today.

Trip-Hop was tailor made for the moment - when a bopper wants to get tender. Or when domestic listeners seek to wander within themselves".

1) Screenatorium - Hypnosapiens
2) Mighty Truth - Is it a wizzard or a blizzard?

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

With Valentines just a round the corner, we welcome back our good friend and amazing selector Mr Nibbers, and for this special mixtape we have entrusted him with the task of providing an ode to 'Love".....

"S.Valentine, what a pile of commercialized crap… I hate S.Valentine…me and my partner don’t need to go out on a date to reaffirm our love for each other .. etc etc” These are normally the comments we have all heard through our life when discussing about this frankly lame celebration of love with friends, colleagues and acquaintances … but S.Valentine for me has never been about celebrating the person I was with or indeed loved at the time… it was all about those years of solitude … day dreaming about that girl who never considered you in the playground, or that friend of friend that you met at a party and fallen hopelessly in love with, despite being in the same room only for a couple of hours and you never saw again.

It was all about love to be found, or lost, about what could have been and never was. This selection of tunes is dedicated to all of those, like me in the past, who have experienced or are indeed experiencing the relentless quest for that Holy Grail called “Love”. Whatever it might be or wherever it might be, don’t give up because as ever: Love is the ultimate message regardless.

Big shout out and big big love to the Dusk Dubs Family as ever for asking me to contribute again to this magnificent project."

**Tracklisting**

1) Soul Family Sensation - I Don’t Even Know If I should Call You Karen Carpenter (Late Night Mix)
2) Boyd Jarvis - I Couldn’t Love You More (Mr K Edit)
3) Quincy Jones - Setembro (Brazilian Wedding Song)
4) Blue Gas - Shadows From Nowhere (Manu Archeo “There Are Shadows Because There Are Hills” Extended Edit)
5) Alfredo De La Fe’ - My Favourite Things
6) Randy Crawford & Joe Sample - Rio De Janeiro Blue (Album Version)
7) Penny Goodwin - Too Soon You’re Old
8) Thelma Jones - How Long
9) Gladys Knight & The Pips - Love Is Always On Your Mind (Extended 12” Version)
10) Jean Carn - Was That All It Was
11) Michael Jackson - Rock With You (Frankie Favourite Club Mix)
12) Double Exposure - My Love Is Free (Original Tom Moulton 12” Mix)
13) Ms (Sharon) Ridley - Changin’

1) Soul Family Sensation ~ I Don’t Even Know If I should Call You Karen Carpenter (Late Night Mix) - This is the tone setter of my selection. Marshall Jefferson on the buttons working his magic with as sleazy laid back remix. 5 AM business (thanks Marcus, you know why)

2) Boyd Jarvis ~ I Couldn’t Love You More (Mr K Edit) - His Majesty Mr K (aka Danny Krivit) works to hypnotic repetition this classic groove from the 80s, sang by one the most iconic soul voices of that era: Sade. Long long intro and then those wonderful melancholic lyrics break in. Great edit that brings out and extend the best of the original record (thanks Myles, you know why)

3) Quincy Jones ~ Setembro (Brazilian Wedding Song) – Wonderful wonderful record that incarnates my idea of love. Just listen to it. Quincy Jones covers this record with his touch of genius, as you would expect by the Maestro.

4) Blue Gas ~ Shadows From Nowhere (Manu Archeo “There Are Shadows Because There Are Hills” Extended Edit) – Obscure Italian synth pop reissued by the ever on point Archeo recordings label. It’s not about love per se’, it’s about a feel to chase, like you would do when chasing shadows. I did choose the edit as it masterfully stretches the groove, while being respectful of the original. As it should always be done in my opinion.

5) Alfredo De La Fe’ ~ My Favourite Things – Mancuso’s Loft Classic. A song covered by nearly every man and his dog, this version however is amazing (alongside the Al Jarreu’s live one – go check it for reference). RIP David and thanks for the legacy you left behind.

6) Randy Crawford & Joe Sample ~ Rio De Janeiro Blue (Album Version) – Randy’s voice. Wow. Nothing to add here.

7) Penny Goodwin ~ Too Soon You’re Old – Little Jazz number. It starts slowly and then takes a rather frantic turn at the end. Quirky and soulful gem reissued by the great label Athens Of North.

8) Thelma Jones ~ How Long - I love Thelma’s slightly gritty voice (like I do Gwen’s Mc Rae one) and I love the lyrics of this record. Expansions strikes again. Another great reissue and new to me too.

9) Gladys Knight & The Pips ~ Love Is Always On Your Mind (Extended 12” Version) – T for Terrific as one of my all time favourite Mcs would say. This is the extended disco version (which you can find on the LP too) in its full 12” (loud and crystal clear) pressing. Glady’s glorious voice pinpointing the infectious groove of this record. Nearly 10 minutes of it. If you don’t play this record in its entirety, you should be stoned to death (using your entire collection as a weapon).

10) Jean Carn ~ Was That All It Was – The only version, as far as I am concerned. Kym Gazelle covered this and it became a Sasha’s anthem of his 90s epic sets (according to my mate Ian – I was never there to witness sadly). For me however the blueprint is the best version of it. Wonderful Philadelphia classic.

11) Michael Jackson ~ Rock With You (Frankie Favourite Club Mix) - Classic Rod Temperton’s production (RIP). Rinsed to death, yes. Give this remix a chance though. I did and was blown away. This features on Dim’s Frankie Knuckles tribute mix (RIP again). All about the intro for me .. and that smooth bass line of course. Frankie we all miss you.

12) Double Exposure ~ My Love Is Free (Original Tom Moulton 12” Mix) – Salsoul classic brought to you by the uber classic disco band Ten Percent. One of the finest Tom Moulton’s work in my honest opinion. Extended, relentless, groovy remix. With a touch of melancholy of course and a little beg for love.

13) Ms (Sharon) Ridley ~ Changin’ - What can I say about this record? It’s beautiful and leaves you with a hope that changes are ahead and there’s a light at the end of that tunnel. Who knows that might even mean one thing: love.]]>

8) Thelma Jones - How Long
9) Gladys Knight & The Pips - Love Is Always On Your Mind (Extended 12” Version)
10) Jean Carn - Was That All It Was
11) Michael Jackson - Rock With You (Frankie Favourite Club Mix)
12) Double Exposure - My Love Is Free (Original Tom Moulton 12” Mix)
13) Ms (Sharon) Ridley - Changin’

1) Soul Family Sensation ~ I Don’t Even Know If I should Call You Karen Carpenter (Late Night Mix) - This is the tone setter of my selection. Marshall Jefferson on the buttons working his magic with as sleazy laid back remix. 5 AM business (thanks Marcus, you know why)

2) Boyd Jarvis ~ I Couldn’t Love You More (Mr K Edit) - His Majesty Mr K (aka Danny Krivit) works to hypnotic repetition this classic groove from the 80s, sang by one the most iconic soul voices of that era: Sade. Long long intro and then those wonderful melancholic lyrics break in. Great edit that brings out and extend the best of the original record (thanks Myles, you know why)

3) Quincy Jones ~ Setembro (Brazilian Wedding Song) – Wonderful wonderful record that incarnates my idea of love. Just listen to it. Quincy Jones covers this record with his touch of genius, as you would expect by the Maestro.

4) Blue Gas ~ Shadows From Nowhere (Manu Archeo “There Are Shadows Because There Are Hills” Extended Edit) – Obscure Italian synth pop reissued by the ever on point Archeo recordings label. It’s not about love per se’, it’s about a feel to chase, like you would do when chasing shadows. I did choose the edit as it masterfully stretches the groove, while being respectful of the original. As it should always be done in my opinion.

5) Alfredo De La Fe’ ~ My Favourite Things – Mancuso’s Loft Classic. A song covered by nearly every man and his dog, this version however is amazing (alongside the Al Jarreu’s live one – go check it for reference). RIP David and thanks for the legacy you left behind.

6) Randy Crawford & Joe Sample ~ Rio De Janeiro Blue (Album Version) – Randy’s voice. Wow. Nothing to add here.

7) Penny Goodwin ~ Too Soon You’re Old – Little Jazz number. It starts slowly and then takes a rather frantic turn at the end. Quirky and soulful gem reissued by the great label Athens Of North.

8) Thelma Jones ~ How Long - I love Thelma’s slightly gritty voice (like I do Gwen’s Mc Rae one) and I love the lyrics of this record. Expansions strikes again. Another great reissue and new to me too.

9) Gladys Knight & The Pips ~ Love Is Always On Your Mind (Extended 12” Version) – T for Terrific as one of my all time favourite Mcs would say. This is the extended disco version (which you can find on the LP too) in its full 12” (loud and crystal clear) pressing. Glady’s glorious voice pinpointing the infectious groove of this record. Nearly 10 minutes of it. If you don’t play this record in its entirety, you should be stoned to death (using your entire collection as a weapon).

10) Jean Carn ~ Was That All It Was – The only version, as far as I am concerned. Kym Gazelle covered this and it became a Sasha’s anthem of his 90s epic sets (according to my mate Ian – I was never there to witness sadly). For me however the blueprint is the best version of it. Wonderful Philadelphia classic.

11) Michael Jackson ~ Rock With You (Frankie Favourite Club Mix) - Classic Rod Temperton’s production (RIP). Rinsed to death, yes. Give this remix a chance though. I did and was blown away. This features on Dim’s Frankie Knuckles tribute mix (RIP again). All about the intro for me .. and that smooth bass line of course. Frankie we all miss you.

12) Double Exposure ~ My Love Is Free (Original Tom Moulton 12” Mix) – Salsoul classic brought to you by the uber classic disco band Ten Percent. One of the finest Tom Moulton’s work in my honest opinion. Extended, relentless, groovy remix. With a touch of melancholy of course and a little beg for love.

13) Ms (Sharon) Ridley ~ Changin’ - What can I say about this record? It’s beautiful and leaves you with a hope that changes are ahead and there’s a light at the end of that tunnel. Who knows that might even mean one thing: love.]]> 1210551 no no Sun, 12 Feb 2017 09:48:37 +0100 2017-02-12T09:48:37+01:00 1:30:07 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dub-explorations-019/

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Trevor Fung
Title: DD0401
Style: Downtempo/Balearic/Disco/House
Time: 77 minutes
Date: 2017-02-05

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome, legendary DJ Trevor Fung to the Dusk Dubs family.

"In the beginning there was House Music…"

And when Balearic and Acid House were born, Trevor Fung was present and instrumental in the birth of the new musical revolution. He was described then and now as a Legend of UK House.

Since he bought his first ever US import 7” from Cooltempo Records in Hanway St W1 (Juggy Murray Jones – “Inside America” on Jupiter Records 1976), Trevor has never looked back, always searching for that tune, seeking out, the important, that energetic tracks, that would blow ordinary music sets off the dance floor !! His role as a DJ and love for travelling has nurtured many of different scenes, all over the world, been there from the beginning and he still craves more, for his love and desire to share the best music on the planet.

Trevor Fung born a Soul Boy in South London …

A Soul Boy from a South American family living in the heart of South London, Trevor began impressing his peers with his musical knowledge of transatlantic Soul; creating a name with his own unique flavour of beats; A fusion of Disco, Jazz and Hip Hop. With regular sets at Caister, Flicks, Papillon, The Wag and Rumours. In 1977 the White Isle beckoned and a whole new dimension to Trevor’s sound was born. Café Del Mar, Es Paradis and a DJ called Carlos. With Trevor travelling back and forth records were changing hands. A fresh style of play was emerging. Electro mixed with Spanish, US Pop merged in to Soul, Jazz and Hip-Hop thrown together to create a style so eclectic and new. In 1982 Trevor launched his own night Zigi’s in South London with Paul Oakenfold and Carl Cox as the warm up DJ.

In 1983 Trevor decided to focus his energy in music and jacked in his day job in the UK. He decided to stay in Ibiza for the Season, with Carlos hooking up gigs at If Bar and Star Club. It soon blew up with Trevor’s monthly trips back to London & the US to pick up records for other DJ’s and record dealers on the island, nights out at Pasha and KU, plus a summer long set at Amnesia in 1984. In the UK, Trevor and long-time friend Paul Oakenfold, launched The Funhouse, playing similar sounds from his Ibiza sets.

1987 Trevor opened The Project Ibiza with cousin Ian St Paul. The Balearic Beat now had a name. An unusual combination of musical flavours, played to a very mixed up crowd. The UK music industry was inspired by this innovation and Trevor published what is now a classic compilation of tracks from that time. The iconic Balearic Beats Album.

1987 all the boys arrived at The Project Ibiza – Paul Oakenfold, Johnny Walker, Danny Rampling, Nicky Holloway. The rest is DJ history…

By 1988 Trevor’s influence over other DJ’s ignited a chain reaction back in London. Good friends Nicky Holloway & Danny Rampling began to change the face of the London scene with Trevor, by launching ground breaking nights – Future, Spectrum, Shoom, Rage, The Land of Oz and The Trip.

1987 through 1989 Sunrise, Energy, World Dance, The Hacienda were all kicking off. Trevor played alongside DJ Pierre, Danny Krivitz, Robert Owens, Underground Resistance, Derek May, Joey Negro, Sven Vath, Kevin Saunderson, Kerri Chandler, Blake Baxter, Resse & Santonio, Eddi Foulkes, Jazzy Jeff, Todd Terry, Alfredo, Jose Padillia, Frank Roger, Phil Asher, Stuart Patterson, Frankie Bones, Greg Wilson, Bill Brewster, Gilles Peterson, Colin Favor, Paul Trouble Anderson, Graeme Park, Mike Pickering, Bushwacka, Frankie Valentine and many more...

House Music history was written on these nights…

And he is still doing it now, challenging, playing around with all diverse styles and concepts, embracing new ideas that what he does best !! Driven by his pure passion, lively imagination, cheeky sense of humor and also having lots of fun on route.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, the final volume of Year 3, we welcome a very special guest to the Dusk Dubs family, a producer, DJ, label head honcho and one half of the legendary group 4hero, welcome to the Dusk Dubs family... Marc Mac.

"Music for me has always been about discovery, I find myself forever trying to find music to feed my mind and soul. These discoveries are the basis of who I am or have become, they influence me and drive me. I don’t want music fed to me by a machine, I need to search and assimilate. There are hundreds of records that are special to me, here are a handful of them. I hope you discover something too."

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we welcome musician, producer, composer Shawn Lee to the Dusk Dubs family.

Shawn is originally from Wichita, Kansas, but moved to London in 1995, where he recorded his infamous “Planet of the breaks” series as well as 5 volumes of “Ape Breaks”, becoming the most sampled drummer of his generation in the process.

He went on to release various albums, “Monkey Boy” on label Wall Of Sound, followed by “Soul Visa”, and four albums of his instrumental project Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra on Ubiquity. Tracks by The Ping Pong Orchestra have gone on to be featured in a plethora of TV series: Malcom In The Middle, Lost, Desperate Housewives, CSI: Miami, Ugly Betty, Boston Legal, Rodney, Damages, Good Morning America, in movies: Oceans 13, The Break Up, The Bank Job, Pool Hall Prophets, and in ads for BMW, Cinemax, Jaguar, Barclays, Exxon, Head & Shoulders and numerous skate, snowboarding & surf films. Shawn also has composed a soundtrack for Rockstar game Bully released in 2006.

More recently, Shawn has joined forces with singer/songwriter Andy Platts to form the brilliant combo Young Gun Silver Fox, releasing the amazing LP 'West End Coast' on Legere Records. After supporting Level 42 on their 2016 tour they will be appearing next Thursday in London for their headline gig. Tickets available HERE.

1) Electric Prunes (David Axelrod) - Holy Are You (1968)
2) Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman - (1968)
3) The Three Degrees - Collage (1970)
4) Minnie Ripperton - Le Fleurs (1970)
5) Shuggie Ottis - Strawberry Letter 23 (1971)
6) America - Ventura Highway (1972)
7) Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me (1972)
8) Joni Mitchell - Help Me (1974)
9) 10CC - I'm Not In Love (1975)

12) Jan Hammer - Don't You Know (1977)
13) CSN - Dark Star (1977)
14) Ambrosia - You're The Biggest Part Of Me (1980)
15) Money Mark - Cry (1995)

1) Electric Prunes - Holy Are You - "Pure class here... Carol Kaye on bass & Earl Palmer on drums making one of the greatest rhythm sections ever. Love the sound of this record. Deep & influential - this sound has inspired lots of musicians & producers."

2) Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman – “This might be the best Pop song ever written. The fact that I grew up in Wichita gives me an even deeper connection to it as well. I've covered it twice & continue to perform live. Jimmy Webb is a master songwriter & GC was a musical polymath.”

3) The Three Degrees – Collage - "A really great symphonic soul cover of this James Gang song. It sits in that California Soul/Rotary Connection/Charles Stepney zone. Total goose bumps."

4) Minnie Ripperton - Le Fleurs - "That big reverberating Cadet sound with a lush Charles Stepney arrangement & Minnie's other worldly vocals equals a descending chord classic of epic proportions. This whole album is so musical. A musical gem."

5) Shuggie Ottis - Strawberry Letter 23 - This is such a classic song. I like many others, heard the Brothers Johnson cover first. Hearing Shuggie's original version the innocent charm & Cali Psychedelia really shine thru. Shuggie is a hero. Classic."

6) America - Ventura Highway - "Damn the memories of hearing this on the radio riding in the back seat of my parents car. America had so many great songs. Everything about this record is perfect. Those guitars man ! Pure audio sunshine.”

7) Tom Rundgren - Hello it's me - "Instant childhood nostalgia every single Time I hear this. Todd is a total unique genius and I really love his early melodic soulful stuff. This one is right up there for me. Todd is God !"

8) Joni Mitchell - Help Me – “I love the West Coast 70's sound. This song is a perfect example of the kind of sophisticated pop music that was common of the era, Both Jazzy and languid. Handy dandy Ear candy !"

9) 10CC - I'm Not In Love - "What an incredible record. Amazing and inventive production and a great song to boot. Easily one of my all time favourite songs. It blows my mind every time I listen to it. One of best examples of using the studio as an instrument."

10) The Doobie Brothers - You Belong To Me - "I grew up with the Doobies. I especially love the Michael McDonald era. Really hard to pick one song but this one has all the hallmarks: phased Rhodes, Falsetto, fat West Coast drums and tasty guitars. Perfect AOR 70's radio music."

11) Lucio Battisti - Amarsi Un Po - "Perfect mellow Italian soul pop recorded in LA ! I love the shit out of this record. I fact, it was the 1st song I played on my Soho Radio show."

12) Jan Hammer Group - Don't You Know - "Such a great, one of a kind track. It touches on so many different things musically.The opening "sample & hold" keyboard sets such a deep atmosphere & The drums are slippery (played by Jan Hammer himself) Fernando Saunders vocals are both simple & pure and together, they created the perfect "Fusion Pop" song. Sublime."

13) Crosby, Stills & Nash – Dark Star – “Grew up with all these dudes music. Mellow and very Californian. This has a great soul vibe to it and is a bit of an underground classic." Deep cut folk funk nugget."

14) Ambrosia - You're The Biggest Part Of Me - "This song and production is so frickin smooth! One of the best snare sounds ever to hit tape too ! The vocal harmonies soar and the organ licks are so tasty. From top to bottom this song is West Coast nirvana."

15) Money Mark - Cry - "I absolutely loved this song & the album when it was released. Mark is a mad genius. Years later I made an album with Mark and we've become friends. This song is short & sweet and to the point. Indie Lo-fi masterpiece." ]]>

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we welcome Andy Hickford to the Dusk Dubs family.

"The selection process for Dusk Dubs was a tough one, there could have been hundreds of tracks; I have also ended up without tracks from genres I love, artists I love and labels I have been buying for decades.

The tunes I have settled on represent a back to mine vibe, these aren't records that I'd typically play out. These are late night songs, mellow numbers and a few oddities, all of which have been favourites for a long time and many with their own stories behind them.

I have been collecting vinyl for as long as I can remember. I DJ around Leeds and the North hosting monthly nights at Outlaws Yacht Club, Hyde Park Book Club and the Northern Monk Brewery as 'Downtown Science' with Decknologist and The Boogie Monster. I also DJ regularly at North bar in Leeds, as well as other venues such as Headrow House. I am also the in house DJ for the world famous Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield curating music for their exhibition openings and DJ'ing their parties..

It is an honour to be asked to join the Dusk Dubs family, I hope you all enjoy my humble contribution."

U.N.K.L.E. – Time Has Come (Portishead Plays U.N.K.L.E. Mix) - Mo Wax is one of my all-time favourite record labels, so I needed to start out with something that captured the essence of the label. I loved this remix by Portishead; the only criticism I have is that it is too short. The Trip Hop sound is often maligned these days; however some of the most innovative music of the era was released on the likes of Lavelle’s label, Warp and Ninja Tune. This record reminds me hugely of the mid 90’s; I met my wife at university and moved to Leeds (20 years later I am still there) so it feels right to start the selection here.

Jean Claude Vannier – Danse Des Mouches Noires Gardes Du Roi - This is one of those albums that I knew of, but didn’t actually get to hear for years. Even the album cover was familiar long before the sounds within were. Something of a Holy Grail for those with Dusty Fingers before You Tube, Discogs and MP3’s made pretty much anything accessible to anyone this was the sort of record you only read about. Thank the lord for Finders Keepers who re-issued this wonderful record of psychedelic, orchestral and downright odd pop music.

Serge Gainsbourg – Ballade de Melody Nelson - More French grooves. One of my favourite tunes of all time is Gainsbourg’s ‘Melody’ from the Histoire De Melody Nelson album, however David Holmes has accounted for that for me later on in the selection, so I have picked another superb outing from the same album. Growing up in market towns in the late 80’s we were always told French music was laughable nonsense, with snide comments about Johnny Halliday to the fore. However in the early 90’s it soon became clear that there was more to French music than ‘ooh la la’ comedy tunes and bad rock. I was led to Gainsbourg by…

MC Solaar – Nouveau Western - Gilles Peterson is someone pretty much everyone who loves music has cause to thank. His work as a DJ, on the radio, as a writer and label boss / compilation compiler means that he has probably led me and many others in more new musical directions than anyone else. Talkin’ Loud led me to MC Solaar, his second album ‘Prose Combat’ inadvertently made me realise that the French couldn’t just do hip hop, they also did funk, jazz and much more well too. This track sampled Gainsbourg’s ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ brilliantly, giving a hint as to the treasures in the back catalogue of French music; around the same time acts like Air, La Funk Mob and then daft Punk and Saint Germain finally killed the idea that the French were in any way lacking in musical chops.

Lewis Howard All Stars – Hula Rock - So from hip hop sampling French pop, to underground hip hop royalty taking from UK Library music – I can’t leave the impression that it is our friends from across the channel that had all the hidden funk. I love Madlib; he would have to be in my top 3 producers/artists, however rather than include Madlib tunes (some were very close to the final cut) I thought I’d use some tunes that Madlib has flipped. Anyone familiar with Madvillainy will immediately recognise this tune, it takes you to Hawaii quicker than a jumbo jet ever could and you don’t even need to apply sun cream.

One Dove – Jolene - One Dove should have been massive; perhaps they were just ahead of their time? When you think about the success acts like Morcheeba had and then compare their music to that of One Dove it does seem odd that Dot Allison and co. didn’t hit a bigger audience. With Andy Weatherall on production duty for much of their work it is odd that they didn’t follow Primal Scream into orbit. I loved their album, but have selected a B-Side, their re-work of Dolly Parton. The question is did One Dove play the Jolene 45 at 33rpm and decide to do a cover in that vein – or did the One Dove version inspire Balearic jocks to check out the Parton 7” and do just that?

Bobbie Gentry – He Made A Woman Out Of Me - Sticking to a country theme, this is a track, unlike most of those on the list that is relatively new to me. This is a cracking Country Funk tune that I discovered on the compilation on ‘Light In the Attic’ of the same name (Country Funk Vol.1). I always thought that whilst I liked most genres of music there were some that just weren’t for me – Country was one of those genres. I think adding this to my selection is about reminding you that you shouldn’t dismiss things without giving them a fair hearing.

David Holmes – Don’t Die Just Yet (Holiday Girl remix by Arab Strap) - As noted earlier – I love Gainsbourg’s ‘Melody’, David Holmes lifted heavily from that tune to create ‘Don’t Die Just Yet’. This version blew me away though. Arab Strap adding a poem about shyness, self-doubt and unrequited holiday romance to the incredible strings of the original to create a track that can send shivers through you.

4 Hero – Morning Child - As a young lad I loved a bit of hardcore – Reinforced was a label you’d always check; the idea that the guys behind Mr Kirk’s Nightmare would end up being the UK’s Rotary Connection would have seemed far-fetched to me back then. (Not that I knew who Rotary Connection were then either). This is a beautiful example of how the broken beat scene could create not just effective club tracks, but also timeless music that would stand with records on labels like Cadet and Perception. Possibly one of my favourite 4 Hero productions, at least in my top 20 anyway. Between Dego & Marc Mac there must be dozens of quality tunes, so you can’t really narrow down to pick just one favourite.

Jackson Five – I Am Love - Growing up I listened to a lot of Motown, my mum was a big fan and had a few twin cassette greatest hits collections, so weekend mornings I’d often hear Diana Ross, the Commodores, Marvin Gaye etc… singing in the kitchen. Familiarity did breed a bit of boredom (contempt probably too harsh) whilst undoubtedly good, some of the more sugary Motown tunes that regularly featured on these comps led me to dismiss the label for a while. When your 10 and have heard baby Love for the hundredth time, Motown just became defined in my pre-teen mind as not for me. I was getting into Eric B & Rakim and Run DMC at the time so why would I like Motown? (How we learn…) Anyway as you get older, you get wiser – and as with country music, you learn not to dismiss things too quickly. So as it turns out there is grit in with the sugar and Motown is a label to cherish after all. Best evidenced by this tune – when I play this out it is rare that people believe me that it is the Jackson Five. A funk-rock smash.

Buddy Miles – The Segment - Another more recent find this, I was led to Buddy Miles via the Daphni/Caribou track ‘Yes, I Know’ on Jialong. I found this record after spending a while searching for it (I prefer to find a copy for a reasonable price in a shop, rather than cave in and impulse buy a high price copy plus US shipping rates via Discogs – well mostly). My brother and I were on a weekend digging trip to Amsterdam and the album this is on turned up in the last shop, on the last day. Can’t beat that feeling when you find something you have been after for a while, so wanted to include this track as a nod to a great weekend and to the joy of the vinyl hunt.

Nino Nardini – Frantique - Another tip of the hat to Madlib. This is just a brilliant freak-funk oddity of a tune that Madlib used to great effect. I found it on a comp that I had bought years before the Madlib tune, but it was only sometime after I knew the Madlib track that I realised I had it. A reminder that sometimes, you don’t need to buy records, remember you can find forgotten gems by digging your won crates.

24 Carat Black – Ghetto: Misfortunes Wealth - A brilliant soul-funk tune with conscious intent. I’ve already referenced Talkin’ Loud as being a massive label for me; I loved the Young Disciples album with it being one of the first records I bought on the label. This track was clearly an inspiration to the band, I’m not knocking the YD’s for using this, rather I’m including it because it illustrates somewhat the point that Chuck D made when he said ‘You got to dig Blue Note, to get Def Jam’. The more you know about what has gone before, the more you can enjoy and appreciate the now.

Wanda Robinson – Carnal Was The Word - Another record I found when in Amsterdam. I’m still no fan of poetry, but this album demonstrates that very little can’t be improved by sticking a funky groove underneath it – yes, even poetry. Maybe even Question Time would be more palatable if sound tracked by the JB’s?

Jorge Ben – Comanche - World music – that was a much mis-understood term. As a young’un it seemed to mean pan-pipes, knitting Yoghurt and sitting around earnestly listening to someone playing a didgeridoo badly. If only I knew then that world music could have meant just finding brilliant tunes that didn’t happen to have been recorded by UK or US artists. There are many examples of international funk, jazz, soul, disco and more I could have used. But I just love this bit of Brazilian magic.

Harry Thumann – The Sphinx - Knight Rider – a big part of growing up, as soon as the theme tune kicked in that was it, locked in to the massive 22” TV (it seemed massive then) as pre-Baywatch Hasslehoff dealt with the bad guys, got the girl and spoke to his self-driving car (as if that could ever happen!). That tune could even be used to liven up so-so tracks from Busta Rhyme’s and Jay Z, but did this track come first? Is the Knight Rider theme tune just a big fat copy, or did Mr Thumann steal from Michael Knight? I don’t know and so far I have resisted the temptation to find out as somehow to know would spoil it.

New Order – 5 8 6 - I realised that I’d not really included any ‘indie’ music in this selection and I was a big indie fan in my teens, so thought what could I add? I had tracks by Spaceman 3 in mind, whilst big tunes I wanted to avoid Madchester material as it won’t be new to anyone. But, then I thought music from that city has been huge – so let’s have 2! So first up is New Order, with this track from Power, Corruption & Lies. I picked this album up second hand from a small shop that sold a mixture of things - odd electrical items, tights, household goods; repaired TV’s and also sold records. The sort of shop every town once had, but sadly have been lost in the name of progress. I also bought my first jazz-funk records there and remember them asking ‘are you sure’, as it seemed a bit of a departure for a 15 year old indie-kid.

A Guy Called Gerald – Emotions Electric - Second last tune is this beauty from A Guy Called Gerald; this is from the Peel Sessions record and remains as timeless as Voodoo Ray in my humble opinion.

John Carpenter – The End (Disco Mix) - The last track is an acknowledgement that, as with everything, my wife is always right. When we first met, some time ago (ahem) I was dubious of disco, probably ignorant really. I liked jazz-funk, acid house, hip hop, drum & bass and many more genres, but had fallen into the trap of thinking that disco was Abba, afro wigs and purple flares. How wrong I was and how right she was to insist that disco was ace. Opening my eyes to the joys to be found in tracks on compilations like ‘Jumpin’ on Harmless in the mid 90’s I soon discovered that actually disco wasn’t the fluffy nonsense that was defined by the music of 70’s nights in small town nightclubs and Aga-Doo on holiday – it was the source of hip hop, house, techno and much more. Whilst this isn’t exactly straight disco, the two of us got tickets to see John Carpenter in Manchester so it felt right to include this.

So I give you a full DD mix from younger generations perspective"

**Tracklisting**

1) UFO - Kung Fu King
2) Stacy Epps - Floatin
3) Hefner - Fiendish
4) DJ Vadim - London Mindstate
5) Jono McCleery - Tomorrow
6) Red Snapper - Spitalfields
7) Chairman Maf - All I Need
8) DJ Spinna Feat Phonte - Intergalactic Soul
9) Qwel + Maker - Gin River
10) Cyne - 400 Years
11) Nu-Jabes - High 2 Low
12) J-Live - A Charmed Life
13) Sylk 130 - Seasons Change
14) DJ Trax + Assorted Anonymous - The Glass Half Full

1) UFO - His Name Is... - I was a big fan of Bruce Lee Growing up. As well as being a great film, Enter The Dragon has an Amazing Soundtrack. I love UFO`s take on the theme tune :)

2) Stacy Epps - Floatin - I Love the atmosphere of this track, those pads! The shuffling drums also work really well. My girlfriend introduced me to this one. I am very lucky to be with a woman with great taste in music !

3) Hefner - Fiendish - Hefner is massively overrated. The guy has so much talent, I just wish he was still making tunes (maybe he is somewhere??) The programming on this track is flawless. He is a master at using lots of small samples, and putting them together so well that they become a perfect soundscape.

4) DJ Vadim - London Mindstate - Another amazing producer with many styles under his belt. This is a relatively simple track but all the elements work so well that it`s great that they have room to breath and let`s not forget....That Bassline !

5) Jono McCleery - Tomorrow - Love the feel of this track. Soft understated vocals and a great guitar hook. I love how the drums shuffle on and off beat.

6) Red Snapper - Spitalfields - I wish I had caught Red Snapper live. The drummer has a great feel and they always capture a unique drum sound. Love the horns and infectious 7/8 guitar lick.

7) Chairman Maf - All I Need - I discovered CM a year or two ago and have brought every album. His music is right up my street. Real breaks with head nodding swing, often Soulful and Thought provoking. This one is from his album 1976 which is available on digitally from https://chairmanmaf.bandcamp.com/album/1976 as well as on Vinyl from various outlets. His latest album `Zoo` is also available from his bandcamp and for vinyl heads the pre-order is here https://qrates.com/artists/11991/items/12528 (be quick, there are not many left !)

8) DJ Spinna Feat Phonte - Intergalactic Soul - My kind of Hip Hop. Deep Lyrics over a rolling beat. DJ Spinna really brings the goods.

9) Qwel + Maker - Gin River - One of my favourite ever collaborations. Qwel and Maker made a series of albums (about one a year.) Each is so beautifully put together. The type of albums you must listen to all the way through. Qwel has a unique way with words. He`s lyrics make you want to go back and listen as there are always hidden metaphors. If you are feeling this track I urge you to go and seek out their albums !

10) Cyne - 400 Years - Not much I can say about this one. Underground Hip Hop at it`s best. Deep with real soul.

11) Nujabes - Highs 2 Lows - Metaphoric Music is an incredible album. Nujabes had some serious talent. A master at creating moods with his beats. This is one of my favorites from him. Those strings are so warm! I also love the slightly awkward percussion alongside the drums.

12) J-Live - A Charmed Life - One of my favorite MC`s. However, J-Live is much more than that. He is a true triple threat. He produces, Rap`s and DJ`s. He is one of the greatest wordsmiths in Hip Hop. This track is taken from his album All The Above. This is another LP that really warrants listening to all the way through (and then rewinding)

13) Sylk - Seasons Change - A really classy King Britt production. THAT voice! Really soulful music that makes you feel like you are right there in Ronnie Scotts (One of my favourite places)

14) DJ Trax + Assorted Anonymous - The Glass Half Full - I have been collaborating with underground US crew Assorted Anonymous for the last 5 years or so. As This track captures the mood of the mixtape I thought I would include it. It is taken from or first EP which is FREE here…. https://soundcloud.com/djtrax/sets/dj-trax-assorted-anonymous

We have just released our first album, Vinyl and Digital available here https://djtrax.bandcamp.com/album/mystery-in-the-making-

11) Nujabes - Highs 2 Lows - Metaphoric Music is an incredible album. Nujabes had some serious talent. A master at creating moods with his beats. This is one of my favorites from him. Those strings are so warm! I also love the slightly awkward percussion alongside the drums.

12) J-Live - A Charmed Life - One of my favorite MC`s. However, J-Live is much more than that. He is a true triple threat. He produces, Rap`s and DJ`s. He is one of the greatest wordsmiths in Hip Hop. This track is taken from his album All The Above. This is another LP that really warrants listening to all the way through (and then rewinding)

13) Sylk - Seasons Change - A really classy King Britt production. THAT voice! Really soulful music that makes you feel like you are right there in Ronnie Scotts (One of my favourite places)

14) DJ Trax + Assorted Anonymous - The Glass Half Full - I have been collaborating with underground US crew Assorted Anonymous for the last 5 years or so. As This track captures the mood of the mixtape I thought I would include it. It is taken from or first EP which is FREE here…. https://soundcloud.com/djtrax/sets/dj-trax-assorted-anonymous

We have just released our first album, Vinyl and Digital available here https://djtrax.bandcamp.com/album/mystery-in-the-making-

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we welcome Neil Brown to the Dusk Dubs family.

"I'd just like to start by saying a big thanks to the Dusk Dubs Team for giving me the opportunity to share some of my favourite music with like minded people.

In my late teens I was into the extreme metal scene. Around late 1990 my younger brother started playing me rave tapes from the local radio station (Wear FM R.I.P) and I was instantly hooked by the hardcore sounds of Dj's like Yoz. By 1992 I realised that I was much more interested in the breakbeat side of things than the 4/4 stuff and this is where my obsession with jungle/drum'n'bass started. That's pretty much all I listened to (with the exception of hip hop) until late 1999 when I discovered Gilles Petersons Worldwide radio show.

This began an unbelievably exciting musical period for me as Gilles opened my eyes to so many wonderful styles and artists. My selection covers music that I fell in love with during the first 3 or 4 years religiously listening to his Radio 1 show and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed digging through my records to select them.

Peace and Dusk Dubs".

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we invite singer, songwriter, producer, DJ and all round musical talent, Mr. Joseph Mailk to the Dusk Dubs family.

Back in 2002 Joseph released his first solo album, "Diverse", on Compost Records out of Munich, Germany. After another LP and a number of singles, EP's and guest vocal appearances, Jospeh moved away from music.

However, Joseph is now BACK !! Recently falling back in love with writing and production, resulting in what we believe to be his best album to date - "Diverse Pt.2".

Joseph explains.....

"I'd like to thank Jon Brent and the Dusk Dubs Family, for letting me do this Mixtape. Me and Jon have been music pen pals for the last 3 years and i've been sharing my studio mixes and ideas with him as a second pair of ears outside my production team. We shared not just music but personal loss in both our lives and a good bond of friendship.This helps me explore what it's like for the listener. So I went back to my 1st solo Album because its still a huge part of me, its an honest open book of music and now after many years the next chapter is ready to record and as my label boss Jo Wallace calls it, DNA music.

When i start out to write and compose an album I see the big picture, the variations of styles, the musicians I need to book in to play in the studio and most of all my inspirations, information is all fully mapped out as a battle plan for production. Diverse 2 is a celebration of music, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Brian Wilson, David Alexrod, Alice Coltrane, Bernard Herman, Allen Toussaint, The Funk Brothers, Mussel Shoals Swampers were just some of my musical inspirations who gave me wisdom to make this album."

Joseph Breaks it down.....

1) Outlaw Blues Band - 'Deep Gulley' mixed with 2) Freddie Scott - 'Hey Girl', back in the day as DJ I would cut both of these joints up, and it came to me... it sounded like Prince Paul, so we looped it up and it took me a very long time to get the lyrics right, then heart break came into my life and it was so simple.... my hip-hop break up song 3) 'Love Bound'.

4) David Axlexrod - 'Holy Thursday' mixed with 5) Galt McDermont - 'Woe Is Me', I really have to show respect to David Donnelly on the drum programming on 6) 'Mixed Combination', I wanted to make some thing powerful, I was angry at all the death in the world, and how governments just really don't give a fuck about folks, and I was in a very low place and fighting back.

7) De La Soul - Pattii Duke, I picked this record as De La Soul,Tribe Called Quest and The Jungle Brothers have been a major influence on my life as a teenager,The sound and what they stand for so when it came to making an Anti Trump, Anti Labour and Tory Goverment track, 8) Vanguard, like Charles Mingus - Fables of Fabus in the civil rights movement, so I dug deep in my crates and found 9) Prince Lasha - Congo Call that deep dirty organic jazz sound of the double bass and drums just clicked and when my co producer David Donnelly flipped the cymbals to stutter like a mistake it was one of the many times we looked at each other in the studio saying holy fuck.....

10) Frank Comstock Out of this World, There comes a time in every musicians life where you ask your self why am I doing this, am I just making tracks or do I want to make something that can change the world like, Marvin Gaye's "Whats Going On" or John Coltrane's "Love Supreme", I was making a track about the homeless crisis in my city of Edinburgh as at this time i was homeless and sofa surfing and sadly sleeping rough in the streets, I had the drums and the bass and a demo vocal recorded, but when I heard these strings it was a pivotal moment in my whole music life, I just knew I called David Donnelly and said we have to sample these right now i called my son Rakhime Malik to come and bear witness to the magic that onIy I could hear in my crazy mixed up head, I may add I suffer badly from mental illness, but I knew I was right.

11) Joseph Malik - Awakening. So we get to the studio an add the string samples and break it up over the verses, I was in tears with my son beside me looking on proud of his dad. I explained why it means so much to me with the lyrics, "AS I LAY MY HEAD DOWN ON THE STREETS, TO A PLACE I KNOW WHERE DEMONS COME TO ME, I was close to jumping off the Waverly Bridge that dark night in the cold, homeless and alone a few weeks back. Those lyrics and Steven Christie keyboard melody was what saved me that cold dark night. I was still homeless and recording, and out on the streets at night, I had a notepad, one of my fellow brothers of the street asked what are you writing big man ? I said, this pain we are living, he hugged me and said tell our story brother. The track still had to be mixed, I put pressure on poor David Donnelly and said we really have to fucking mix this i don't care about anything else in the world... lets get this done. We went to Summer Hall to mix it and i called Saleem, Stevie, Chris and Jo Wallace and Ashley Beedle playing the track over the phone saying "i've done it, i've made my Love Supreme" crying again as i've done through out most of this album. To recap the story, David was in tears after hearing the masters back from London saying you were right Joseph it captures the darkness of living rough, that taxi driver Bernard Herman film score that holds you until the very end of the song .

12) Stevie Wonder - Jesus Children of America. As a 7 year old kid Stevie Wonder was my world, it gave me an escape from the race hate I faced as a child. There was times I was not allowed out the house by my granny as she feared i'd get beaten up again, so i had Stevie records and my head phones and I would escape to another world, dreaming one day i'm going to make music like this when i grow up.

13) Lost Not Found Reprise. I was so dam lucky that out of the blue Ashley Beedle and Jo Wallace came to save me and gave me a record deal. It was welcome to the Ramrock Records family and they like me had a deep love of Motown so I sampled The Supremes, and Jo Wallace told me I would get my ass kicked for it, so i got my own version of the Funk Brothers in the studio. A band I named the Easter Road Northern Soul Band and re-created the whole loop with the biggest and best band i've ever worked with. Poor Rusty the engineer had 86 tracks of audio, and by this time I had brought in Chris Greive as a co writer and arranger, due his amazing skills and dealing with so many musicians in the same room, also I brought in my Old Skool DJ Brother Saleem aka Awunsounds from the Mo Wax Headz album, as co-producer, which would pay off big time as his skills in the studio are really something to behold.

14) The Supremes - Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart. This was a massive production job with so many players and the energy in the studio at Rusty's that we got on tape was something else. It was now Motown meets Mussel shoals on one track. There was 3 of us on production duties, doing our best to get the sound right, Saleem came up with the idea to keep mixing and using Shazam until it didn't say the Supremes, and the sheer scope and work that he put in himself working very late alone to make it sound like this, but still keep the feeling of the studio takes, is the main reason why we made the next track.

15) The Soul Brothers - Some Kind of Wonderful. So I was in my mate Mikey's bar and this came on from one of his Northern Soul playlists. It stopped me in my tracks saying what the Fucks that ? I wrote the title down on a scrap of paper and put it in my pocket. We went on a huge bender that night, I got home about 3am, still out my head reached into my pocket and Bingo "Some Kind of Wonderful". I looked it up on YouTube, and kept putting it to the start. I wrote some lyrics down and passed out drunk !, When I woke up, I went for a drink at 9am and sat in the pub and wrote the whole song in 15 mins. I called Saleem, saying can you loop this up and the next day i went into Rustys studio with Chris Greive on bone with Kris the Bigman Howden on fender bass and we layed down Take a Left.

16) Joseph Malik - Take a Left. We were dancing in the Studio as we recorded Take a Left, the energy was unreal like we kinda knew we had a hit record. We brought in Tom the Harp on Harmonica and Miss Dominika Czernig on backing vocals, she also sings on many of my tracks with her gusty brassy vocals, I love her voice so much. Just every one on this track knew it. Then I sent it to Jo Wallace and the reply was well Joseph that's the 1st single sorted then. Brother Saleem again on production skills gave the track this extra edge, and please understand i've been making music for 30 years with lots of record deals and always told yeah you got it kid but you need a hit, and this time we smashed it right out the ball park.

17) Joseph Malik - Intermission. Much like my mentor Prince Paul, I love skits, its a way for a producer to change direction from one style to another and as you are about to hear we are moving direction now.

18) Charles Wright - Mothers Love. As many beat heads know to well, it was sampled by KRS-1, but no one had sang over this loop. So me and David got our fave all time horn players Chris Greive and Colin Steele in for our Sunday New Orleans Special it was an amazing session, all the horns for the Album recorded in one Sunny day in our Abbey hill Studio. I really wanted that Deep South feeling and i think we found that ..

19) Joseph Malik - Country Yard. My Brother Chris Greive has a saying that's swinging, and it sure was. I have a Deep love for Allen Toussaint, just every thing about him, lyrics and music, that lazy feel he gets. I'm just so very lucky to have such a rich talent of Musicians who all live in the same hood... this is why I love Edinburgh.

20) Duke Ellington - Thanks For the Beautiful Land of the Delta.

Edinburgh has a very rich talent of Jazz Players, me and Saleem would DJ before Jazz Bands played, and would get there numbers at the end of the gigs to record them in the Studio. At first they would ask what's a DJ know about jazz music ? But we were both so well read about Miles and Duke and the fact that it was David who brought Colin and Chris into the studio Family, we understood the music, hence why we are planning our Spritual Jazz Album for later this year.

21) Charles Mingus - Fables of Fabus. I've already spoken of the reason why I choose this, but I need to let you know just how good an all round player David Donnelly is. We shared a flat in Abbey Hill which was also our recording Studio, David has a Double Bass which features on many tracks on this Album we would sit up late a just listen to Mingus.

22) Joseph Malik - Basquiat. Malcom X is my all time hero, but I could never be him, but Jean Micheal Basquiat... I could aim to be him as a 17 Year Old. He was every thing to me, and I was deeply upset when he passed away, he was art, Hip-Hop, style all in one. I've read all the books, seen everything ever made about him and I wanted to give him something back and pay my respects. I've had this idea in my head Circa 1989, to make the music be the picture, no vocals. It was very special in the studio recording this, and i hope and pray he is looking down from Heaven happy that i've done this for him.

23) Donald Byrd - Cristo Redentor. I heard this on the Spike Lee "Malcom X" soundtrack, and was the main reason I wrote "Malcom X Strings". It's what you hear at a funeral, the passing of a great life. I had the pleasure of meeting the Great Man Donald Bryd when he played my club in the 90s. Yes we all love Rock Creek Park and Think Twice, but this is my kinda music, so much so that when I die this is getting played to send me off to the After World.

24) Joseph Malik - But i'm Lost Not Found. Oh boy this is a hard one. You ask yourself why is there two versions of this song, but i will answer that question. At the end, love and heart break is why this album began, hence why music is the soundtrack to our relationships. One dark night my soulmate told me she no longer loved me, and the bombshell took its toll on my Heart. "Love Bound" and this song were both written for her, and my way of a healing process to move on in life. To this day, I cant even listen to it, have to leave the room, but i wanted to go back to the song with a reprise, but with my Band and 4 singers backing me with Soul Power so i could get something back with no fear, hence the up beat reprise version.

25) Anne Peebles - I'm Still In Love With You. So i awoke the morning after still hurting like hell i looked at her Records and put on Anne Pebbles, and this came on, and again it stopped me in my tracks. I went home and wrote verse one...chorus...verse two, crying on to the paper with the tears blending with the ink. David returned from work gave me a big hug and turned the studio on and said sing Brother sing the pain away. I did it all in one take, and then went to sleep. The next day, I awoke and got some rope to hang myself. David again stopped me and said sing, I wrote the 3rd verse and that was done. I've only heard it about 3 times since, as it still hurts like hell for me, but for me music is real, honest emotions... nothing more, nothing less. I'm not going any where now, as i've more music to make. I'm in a much better place, with my music family and label, this is the end of my Music Of Life Book - Diverse 2.]]>

We went on a huge bender that night, I got home about 3am, still out my head reached into my pocket and Bingo "Some Kind of Wonderful". I looked it up on YouTube, and kept putting it to the start. I wrote some lyrics down and passed out drunk !, When I woke up, I went for a drink at 9am and sat in the pub and wrote the whole song in 15 mins. I called Saleem, saying can you loop this up and the next day i went into Rustys studio with Chris Greive on bone with Kris the Bigman Howden on fender bass and we layed down Take a Left.

16) Joseph Malik - Take a Left. We were dancing in the Studio as we recorded Take a Left, the energy was unreal like we kinda knew we had a hit record. We brought in Tom the Harp on Harmonica and Miss Dominika Czernig on backing vocals, she also sings on many of my tracks with her gusty brassy vocals, I love her voice so much. Just every one on this track knew it. Then I sent it to Jo Wallace and the reply was well Joseph that's the 1st single sorted then. Brother Saleem again on production skills gave the track this extra edge, and please understand i've been making music for 30 years with lots of record deals and always told yeah you got it kid but you need a hit, and this time we smashed it right out the ball park.

17) Joseph Malik - Intermission. Much like my mentor Prince Paul, I love skits, its a way for a producer to change direction from one style to another and as you are about to hear we are moving direction now.

18) Charles Wright - Mothers Love. As many beat heads know to well, it was sampled by KRS-1, but no one had sang over this loop. So me and David got our fave all time horn players Chris Greive and Colin Steele in for our Sunday New Orleans Special it was an amazing session, all the horns for the Album recorded in one Sunny day in our Abbey hill Studio. I really wanted that Deep South feeling and i think we found that ..

19) Joseph Malik - Country Yard. My Brother Chris Greive has a saying that's swinging, and it sure was. I have a Deep love for Allen Toussaint, just every thing about him, lyrics and music, that lazy feel he gets. I'm just so very lucky to have such a rich talent of Musicians who all live in the same hood... this is why I love Edinburgh.

20) Duke Ellington - Thanks For the Beautiful Land of the Delta.

Edinburgh has a very rich talent of Jazz Players, me and Saleem would DJ before Jazz Bands played, and would get there numbers at the end of the gigs to record them in the Studio. At first they would ask what's a DJ know about jazz music ? But we were both so well read about Miles and Duke and the fact that it was David who brought Colin and Chris into the studio Family, we understood the music, hence why we are planning our Spritual Jazz Album for later this year.

21) Charles Mingus - Fables of Fabus. I've already spoken of the reason why I choose this, but I need to let you know just how good an all round player David Donnelly is. We shared a flat in Abbey Hill which was also our recording Studio, David has a Double Bass which features on many tracks on this Album we would sit up late a just listen to Mingus.

22) Joseph Malik - Basquiat. Malcom X is my all time hero, but I could never be him, but Jean Micheal Basquiat... I could aim to be him as a 17 Year Old. He was every thing to me, and I was deeply upset when he passed away, he was art, Hip-Hop, style all in one. I've read all the books, seen everything ever made about him and I wanted to give him something back and pay my respects. I've had this idea in my head Circa 1989, to make the music be the picture, no vocals. It was very special in the studio recording this, and i hope and pray he is looking down from Heaven happy that i've done this for him.

23) Donald Byrd - Cristo Redentor. I heard this on the Spike Lee "Malcom X" soundtrack, and was the main reason I wrote "Malcom X Strings". It's what you hear at a funeral, the passing of a great life. I had the pleasure of meeting the Great Man Donald Bryd when he played my club in the 90s. Yes we all love Rock Creek Park and Think Twice, but this is my kinda music, so much so that when I die this is getting played to send me off to the After World.

24) Joseph Malik - But i'm Lost Not Found. Oh boy this is a hard one. You ask yourself why is there two versions of this song, but i will answer that question. At the end, love and heart break is why this album began, hence why music is the soundtrack to our relationships. One dark night my soulmate told me she no longer loved me, and the bombshell took its toll on my Heart. "Love Bound" and this song were both written for her, and my way of a healing process to move on in life. To this day, I cant even listen to it, have to leave the room, but i wanted to go back to the song with a reprise, but with my Band and 4 singers backing me with Soul Power so i could get something back with no fear, hence the up beat reprise version.

25) Anne Peebles - I'm Still In Love With You. So i awoke the morning after still hurting like hell i looked at her Records and put on Anne Pebbles, and this came on, and again it stopped me in my tracks. I went home and wrote verse one...chorus...verse two, crying on to the paper with the tears blending with the ink. David returned from work gave me a big hug and turned the studio on and said sing Brother sing the pain away. I did it all in one take, and then went to sleep. The next day, I awoke and got some rope to hang myself. David again stopped me and said sing, I wrote the 3rd verse and that was done. I've only heard it about 3 times since, as it still hurts like hell for me, but for me music is real, honest emotions... nothing more, nothing less. I'm not going any where now, as i've more music to make. I'm in a much better place, with my music family and label, this is the end of my Music Of Life Book - Diverse 2.]]> 1031989 no no Sun, 18 Sep 2016 11:36:41 +0200 2016-09-18T11:36:41+02:00 1:36:15 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/the-full-spectrum-005/

**Tracklisting**

1: Pitch Black – Soliton

This is one of those tracks that, as people say 'spoke to them'. There's just something about the opening melody, delays and reverbs that I was instantly drawn to. It's also the memory of my first christmas in Australia, camping alone in my one man tent on a spit of land overlooking a sandy bay with massive dark storm clouds, lightning and thunder in the distance.

I gathered up my belongings and sheltered under the barely-big-enough awning of my tent, headphones on and drink in hand as the sky opened up and unleashed a torrent of water, rivers of it running below my feet. Lightning flashing and the booming thunder, and this track playing. It fit perfectly.

Pitch Black are also THE band I have to credit for turning me onto electronic music. A 'quite by chance' discovery flicking through channels one night on tv. "What is this??!!" I thought. I went out and bought their album the next day.

02: Rhombus - Clav Dub

This was the first single off the debut Rhombus album 'Bass Player'. The video is a parody of the 1980s classic Kiwi road movie "Goodbye Pork Pie" and features Kelly "Blonini" Johnson from the original film and also features Tiki Taane (at the time of Salmonella Dub) on vocals. Just a great, fun, dub groove.

03: Salmonella Dub - For the Love Of It

Possibly the most well known Salmonella Dub track. A band that had so many tracks to choose from, but this classic had to take the spot, no questions asked.

04: Fat Freddy's Drop - Wandering Eye

Another one of those bands it was so hard to choose a single track from. Everyone has their favourite tracks but if I had to choose just one (and I did) it would be this track off their first album 'Based On A True Story', also known colloquially as BOATS.

05: Knights Of The Dub Table – Lonely

This album was one of my top three releases for the year (along with albums by The Black Seeds and Kingfisha). I just really like the moody, cruising dub of this track. Great for afternoons in the beer garden or the whole album taking a long drive in the car.

06: Kora – Burning

Kora is one of those bands where the live experience far outweighs the studio recording. I find the recorded sound quite dry and lacking but live, you've got to see! Kora mix a a range of dub, reggae and rock, with members changing up instruments and sharing vocal duties through the set.

07: Crowded House - Weather With You

What New Zealand play list would be complete without a track by Crowded House? There really was no choice not to include one of their great songs.

08: Trinity Roots - Little Things

Another one of those deep, moody, heartfelt songs. I just really like this song. Seeing Trinity Roots live is definitely an experience, mixing roots with elements of swirling psychedelic rock, unique. Following the NZ theme of sharing band members, the singer / guitarist used to be the sax player for Fat Freddy's Drop.

09: Dave Dobbyn and Herbs - Slice of Heaven

The unofficial 'New Zealand national anthem'. Also the theme track for the animated feature movie Footrot Flats. A New Zealand classic.

10: Flight of the Conchords - Business Time

Is there anyone not familiar with NZ's fourth most popular folk-comedy duo? Business Time is always a crowd favourites. Brett McKenzie also used to play with the next band in the mix, The Black Seeds.

11: The Black Seeds - Dance Dance

A fun & lively upbeat dub. My memories are of sitting in the back seat of a band mate’s car singing along to this track one morning, he surprised I know the track having only been given it days before.

12: Joe Dukie & DJ Fitchie – Seconds

Two members of Fat Freddy’s Drop, this is one of those tracks I just instantly liked. Many hungover mornings have been spent singing along to this track.

13: Pacific Heights - Peace (Featuring Joe Dukie)

Yep, another track featuring a band member from another NZ band! I spent many hours in buses travelling the wind blown tracks of South America and this is the track I'd so often turn to, head against the window, views of the vast orange-brown pampas stretching out to meet the Andes, the snow-capped peaks rising to a vast orange-blue-black sky. It still now, 7 years on brings back memories and emotions of that time. Comforting loneliness.

14: Shapeshifter – Tapestry

Back before they took on vocalist P Digsss (who you'll see featured in the following track) Shapeshifter released their first instrumental album. Like the earlier track Soliton, there was something about the opening melody that grabbed me and made me take notice.

15: Tiki (feat. P Digsss) – Faded

Originally the singer for Salmonella Dub, Tiki went solo and this is my favourite track off his first solo album. I'm not a fan of hip hop, but in this track I really like the swapping of vocal parts between Tiki and P Digsss. There's just something cool about the dub groove of the track.

16: State Of Mind - City On Fire (feat. PNC)

Another of my contradictions, the track featuring the stylings of NZ rapper PNC. Heavy drum & bass beats, fast and a ton of energy! Awesome track!!

17: Concord Dawn - Let it Go

I first heard this track as part of a promo compilation for a New Zealand festival. Early in my dnb days the bassline and the staccato, arpeggiating synths are what drew me to it. Definitely one I tried emulating the bass sounds of early on. ]]>

"I’m pleased to be making a contribution to this website where it is always dusk. I’ve been caught up with making mixes in Ableton Live the last few years. Chopping up tracks and layering effects to make original edits for my mixes has been a great deal of fun, but it was a real pleasure to take it back to simply selecting tracks and letting it play all the way through.

I always like to play with as many different eras and genres of music as I can, and this mix was no different. Psychedelic, afro, dub beats, with some cinematic atmosphere. I also tried to cultivate a bit of a spiritual, hypnotic and sensual vibe as well. All ripped from vinyl so you might hear some pops and crackles. I hope you get dig the vibe as you listen…"

**Tracklisting**

1- Santana - Singing Winds Crying Beasts

This is the opening track from, “Abraxas”, which was one of the first LP’s I ever bought. It’s a slow building psychedelic instrumental track in which Carlos Santana mostly sits back and lets the groove go. I love the deep organ action and when the congas come in with the heavy reverb.

2- Hu-Vibrational - Calling to the Water Goddess

From the “Boonghee Music 1” EP from 2002. Really earthy tracks built around joyful and energetic rhythms on an array of live percussion instruments. As the song title suggests, the track sounds as if it could be part of some kind of ceremony.

3- Express Rising- Buy, Sell, Tirade

Dropping the tempo and keeping the vibe with this sample based work from the alter-ego of Dante Carphanga. The evocative and eerie loops of the song are part head nodding instrumental, part desert soundtrack.

4- Tony Allen vs Jeff Sharel- Afro Cosmic Drums

This particular track is probably my favorite from the Allenco Brothers series, with modern left-field producers working with iconic afro-beat drummer Tony Allen. Shuffling rhythms, deep pads and epic spacious reverb make this one a perfect dubby dusk excursion.

5- Marc Alphonse (Szymanski)- Content in Humidity

This track is from the Omoa Music sampler EP from 2004, then was rereleased under the artist name Szymanski on a different EP and on his later debut LP, and is criminally under recognized. I love the slow building deep loopy jazz vibe on this one.

6- Pelican City- Chestnut Park

This track is from an earlier project of DJ Dangermouse’s for a movie soundtrack. Moody, atmospheric and cinematic downbeat sounds.

7- Human Race- Human Race

This slice of groovy laid back world funk was re-issued by the short lived San Francisco based Re-Joint reissue label. The sound is reminiscent of Cymande.

8- Hugh Masekela- Adade

From the great “Masekela Introducing Hedzoleh Soundz” album and heavily featuring the Hedzoleh Soundz band from Ghana. The band (introduced to Masekela by Fela Kuti) brought their heavy traditional African percussion and vocal sounds, and Masekela laid down his spaced out and jazz influenced trumpet. Heady and groovy.

9- Horace Andy- Zion Dub

One of my favorite dub cuts with all the choicest elements. The original track has really nice horn lines, vocal from Horace Andy, and of course rattling drums and booming bass. The dub makes it into an echoed out journey into the deep.

10- Sofa Surfers- Container (Howie B. Remix)

Continuing the journey deep into the heart of dub, this modern dub track cranks the reverb up to 11. The beat and bass lope along through a cavernous landscape.

11- Teebs- Verbana Tea w/ Rebekah Raff

The harp is just beautiful.

12- This Mortal Coil- Ivy and Neet

I wanted to end things with an ambient cut and this has been a favorite new discovery of an older track from the 80’s. A friend of mine gave me this album a few years ago and I fell in love with this song. Melodies that float in a sea of sound that can take you places if you close your eyes.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we welcome Earwig Shoescrew to the Dusk Dubs family....

"I’m pleased to be making a contribution to this website where it is always dusk. I’ve been caught up with making mixes in Ableton Live the last few years. Chopping up tracks and layering effects to make original edits for my mixes has been a great deal of fun, but it was a real pleasure to take it back to simply selecting tracks and letting it play all the way through.

I always like to play with as many different eras and genres of music as I can, and this mix was no different. Psychedelic, afro, dub beats, with some cinematic atmosphere. I also tried to cultivate a bit of a spiritual, hypnotic and sensual vibe as well. All ripped from vinyl so you might hear some pops and crackles. I hope you get dig the vibe as you listen…"

Earwig Shoescrew is an artist/remixer/re-edit creator in his own right as well as being a part of the Shoes edits label and Plimsoll Records.

For this week’s mixtape, we welcome back General Camel.

"So, for this mixtape I wanted to focus on a particular record label......Buzzing Fly Records.

Buzzing Fly Records is a Deep House & Techno label created by Ben Watt in 2003 - 2013. It was a very influential label which helped some very talented young producers make their mark on the scene. Also, attracting the likes of Ame and Charles Webster for some remixing duties. For those that don't know who Ben Watt is, he is a musician, singer songwriter, author and DJ. Best known as one half of the Folk, Pop, Electronica duo 'Everything But The Girl' with Tracey Thorn.

EBTG started out in the early 80's and released several albums but it wasn't until 1995 when they released a track remixed by Todd Terry called 'Missing' did they then gain international success. With other remixes from the likes of Deep Dish, Photek & J Majik, They are still one of my favorite bands and their 'Back To Mine' compilation is definitely up there in my Top 5 albums...... Absolutely love it, gets played pretty much every time the sun comes out....Go check it!

I chose Buzzing Fly Records to concentrate on for this mixtape because I think this label is a little bit different to artists/labels which have previously been showcased in other Dusk Dubs mixtapes. It also has many great memories for me and whenever I put on one of the albums in Ben Watts acclaimed mix series it takes me right back to some great times !!!!

Once again a massive thank you to the Dusk Dubs crew for asking me back, they know what Dusk Dubs means to me and its always a privilege to select for these guys. Also for keeping this amazing project going week in week out.....BIG UP!

Sit back, crack open a beer and enjoy the music..... Peace!

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we welcome Pooky to the Dusk Dubs family.

"So a bit about myself, I've, been buying records since the mid to late 80s, my music taste started out with hip-hop then progressed to acid house and then through to hardcore, drum and bass etc in the 90s, I was pretty narrow minded in the 90s with my music tastes, but as I've gotten older I've come to appreciate most of the genre's out there, and I'm always on the hunt these days for new music.

The collection of songs you're about to hear is a small taster of what can randomly come on my mp3 player while I'm out and about, some of the songs I've found from being sampled, some remind me of certain times in my life like Family Stand - Ghetto Heaven. Some I feel are just ground breaking from their time like D-Styles - The Murder Faktory from the amazing all scratched album Phantazmagoria which you need to check out if you don't know!! Yet others I feel are perfect for a lazy afternoons like The Upsetters - Black Vest, Nino Nardini - Shere Khan, Monster Rally - Creeping Ghost, and then others are just personal favourites like Third Sights - Rhymes Like A Scientist, Yann Tierson - Comptine d'un Autre Ete and Bauhous - Bela Lugosi's Dead.

Anyway that's a bit about me and my selection, I hope you like what I've chosen for you and maybe I've helped you discover some new music along the way too.

Happy listening.

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

For this week’s mixtape, we welcome Conrad Koziol to the Dusk Dubs family.

"Way back in July '81 our street threw a party to celebrate Prince Charles hooking up with Lady Diana. My Dad set up his sound system in the garage and I was allowed to put a few tunes on. I was 7. The party was a great success despite my Dad managing to blow the speakers and the local police being called out to calm it down at one point. I got the bug straight away and before I knew it, I was DJing at school discos. This soon turned into school radio shows when I moved down from Scotland to Barking, Essex in '89. Since then I've done untold private and commercial clubs / parties all over the globe. I was involved in a website www.tiptopmusic.com at the end of the '90s and provided mixes and music articles alike; including an interview with Richy Pitch from the UK hip-hop / scratch world.

I've helped out with some of the London leg radio shows on www.mixomat.org, DJ'd in the West Wycombe caves (!) held residency at two different venues in High Wycombe during my college years, played at villas in Cannes, parties in Miami, book launches, private parties at Koko in Camden (then the Camden Palais), staff parties, and all manners of other events. For the last 10 years + I've been the recommended DJ for events at any of the Firmdale Events hotels in London (Soho Hotel, Haymarket Hotel and the recently opened Ham Yard Hotel to name some of the branches) so am still keeping busy playing and happilly buying music on vinyl and CD alike.

Music is still very much a big part of my life :)

I'm honored to have been approached to provide a selection of tracks for Dusk Dubs and I hope you enjoy the little look into my collection posted here.

Keep on keepin on !!"

**Tracklisting**

1) Shades Of Black – Deeper Still (Intrigue) - Starting things off with some UK house from the early '90s. Sparse production but nice and deep :) Pretty sure I picked this up in Romfords 2nd hand record shop "Sounds Familiar" which has sadly long since closed its doors :(

2) Simplistic Tones – My Southern Comfort (Vice Versa Records) - I have a few tracks on this label ; another UK label from the early '90s. Verging on the "noodly" side of deep house (flute alert !) , the piano saves the day here...

3) Sorceress – Cherished (Wonder Wheel Recordings) - The first of only two tracks from CD here ; this one being because there is no vinyl version available ; a sad sign of the times. I was introduced to this group by the Boiler Room's Thristian who played the lovely "Te Kano" as part of his warm up set for the Masters At Work when they played at the Edition in London a wee while back.

4) Tralopscinor – Shadow (Standing In The Corner) (Makin’ Madd Records) - A lot of Detroit house / techno features in my music collection. This is one of those tracks where you'd be half way out of the door from a nightclub and then this comes on and it changes the whole night. "Tralopscinor" are Terrence Parker and Chris Shivers. Great track.

5) Masters At Work – It’s The Way To Live (U.M.M.) - I'm a big, BIG fan of M.A.W. and again have a fair few records by them from over the years. This is one of my favorite tracks of theirs ; doesn't get enough play in my opinion. Jocelyn Brown features here.

6) Smith & Mighty – Anyone (Mellow Mix) (Three Stripes) - Classic Smith & Mighty vibes slowing it down a wee bit. Hugely underrated production team from big up Bristol.

7) D’Angelo – Cruisin’ (Wet Mix) (Cooltempo) - Keeping it laid waaaay back is this lovely remix of D'Angelo's 'Cruisin'' with a very live, West Coast feel to it. Nice to see him well and truly back on the scene and getting the recognition he deserves with his recent releases and tour.

8) LL Cool J – Going back To Cali (Def Jam) - Sounding a bit more Miami bass than California ; LL and the 808 go at it :) Taken from the very '80s film "Less Than Zero"

9) Pablo – High Jazz (Red Hook Recordings) - This always stops me in my tracks. I don't know the artists work other than this E.P. Pretty sure I picked this up in Mr. Bongo's before it closed up the physical shop on Poland Street. Beautiful.

10) Tammy Payne – Free (Freedom Version) (W.E.A.) - Way back in the early 90's there were a lot of productions like this coming out ; vocals were everywhere. Mellow, uplifting groove which has aged well.

11) Metisse – Sousonde (4 hero mix) (Dioula) - I couldn't NOT have something by 4 hero on here. I don't know that I've ever heard this being played out before but I certainly have and will continue to do so !

12) Black Dog – Flux (Rising High Records) - From the days when Rising High Records were very much in their heyday. Amazing E.P. which takes my breath away every time I hear it. Apologies for the pop and crackle on the record...

13) The Invisible – Wings (Floating Points Remix) (Ninja Tune) - I didn't know about this until Samuel played some of it on his Red Bull Music Academy lecture. Stunning. Time to dust the yacht off .)

14) Dozia Blakey – Space.Time.Love (Nou Lion Meets Scuba Mix) (Nou Lion Recordings) - King Britt is another artist I have a lot of time for and his many styles of production. Never one to rush a track this is a great one to nod along too. Before you know it you're tap tap tapping that foot too :)

15) Sonzeira – Southern Freez (Talkin’ Loud) - I didn't think Freez' original could / should have been covered but what do you know ?! Amazing.

16) Deee Lite – Frenchapella - A wee slowed down acapella to finish things off. Deee Groovy !]]>

This week we welcome Danny Pickering to the Dusk Dubs family...

Danny spent many years cutting his teeth as a DJ and producer acquiring a variety of music tastes along the way including house, funk and soul. He started off DJing at the after party scene in Salisbury and got into music that way. He has also produced music with fellow cohort Alex Martin as well as a string of remixes and re-edits. Along with Alex, they form the backbone to Box Frequency FM, an internet radio station catering for deep house, techno, electronica, funk and all things soulful.

"I started off DJing at the after party scene in Salisbury and got into music that way. I was actually into the hardcore gabba techno scene and a bit of drum and bass of the time. I’ve mellowed out over the years and discovered house music and Detroit flavours. I’ve been at it for the past ten to fifteen years. Production wise I’ve just started up a new outfit called 54th Street Hustler, with which I now have a record deal. Radio wise, I started out playing at a station based in Portsmouth that specialised mainly in trance music, I was the only one playing deep house at the time and have continued with that trend ever since."

Danny"

**Tracklisting**

1) Laurie Anderson - Walking and Falling : I was introduced to Laurie by my step dad. He is an engineering wiz with a love for psychadelic music of all kinds from the 60s and beyond. This is a guy who upon arriving at the Isle of White festival, which had Jimi Hendrix headlining, got lost/abducted by Hawkwind, who were playing at the main gate, and never left till his friends found him still there when the festival finished. Legend! So, we were having one of those morning after times and we were still wide eyed when he puts this on. I have never seen a tune put people to sleep as quick as this did. Not that it is boring or alike, it is hypnotic, beautifully so and it leaves you with a wonderful feeling. Well, it does for me.

2) The Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes : Again another tune I was introduced to by the step dad. He introduced me to loads of great artists, from these guys to Faust and most stuff inbetween. Lou Reed's voice in this just gets me choaked up big time. A beautiful piece of music with an awesome vocal that makes you feel.

3) Nirvana - Man Who Sold The World : So this is a 2 for 1, One of my favourite Bowie tunes done by one of my all time favourite bands. Kirt's take on this is haunting. He does it justice and for me is the better version.

4) Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower : My favourite Hendrix tune from all he has done. I have this fasination with the Vietnam war and the music which was around it and this kind of sums it up for me. He was a master of his art and I'm gutted that he is not around as it would have been awesome to hear what he may have come up with. Still, we have this...

5) The Rolling Stones - Paint It Black : Another one of those from the Vietnam war era. It gets you pumped, ready to go, which is ironic as it is about battling depression from having been in war. Deep stuff.

6) Smokey Robinson - Tracks Of My Tears : An amazing tune about the loss of love and trying to get on with it. Helped me a lot when dealing with a similar time and Smokey's voice gets the point across fantastically, chin up and get on with it!

7) Marvin Gaye - Whats Going On : Love Marvin's voice and this tune has never been more relivent than it is now. This should be manditory listening for the world. It has a great message and why can't we all get along? Whats the beef?

8) Otis Reading - Change Is Gonna Come : When I'm having a bad day and stuff ain't going right I put this on and by the end of it all is calm. Music doing what music does! Love the voice of this man and every time I hear it I'm at ease.

9) Massive Attack - Protection : I heard this for the first time on the film Hackers. Great film with an awesome soundtrack. It is a beautiful piece of music which has more meaning now that I have a daugther.

10) Portishead - Glory Box : Now I have no idea where or when I heard this for the first time, I just had this hazy memory of a melody and when I found it it was like hitting the jackpot.

11) Cypress Hill - I Want To Get High : So around the time I was in college was when I found the Hill, cliche' I know yet it just summed up those moments when you were so..... that you couldn't move. The groove is killa and the horns, spooky.

12) Ice Cube - Today Was A Good Day : Getting into the Hip-Hop in college and found Cube, killa lick with a great message. I could have taken any NWA for his flow, yet for me this is the groove...

13) Dr Dre feat Snoop Dog - Nothin But A G Thing : All about the flow on this, Snoop kills it and the lick, man with the rift over the groove....ooooh it gets you bouncin!

14) Ugly Duckling - Just A Little Samba : A recent find this, it lifts the spirits, total comedy. The video for it is great, total piss take.

15) Beastie Boys - Sabotage : Again another one which you really need to see the video of. 1970's detective series with the flares to match the B movie'ness of it all. Great rhymes and killa licks, its got it all.

16) Lamb - Gorecki : All time beauty, this track has it all, packed with emotion, gets you in the feels and takes you on a journey. First heard on Dave Seaman's Renassance London mix way back. I've heard it live and accoustic. It never fails to deliver. ]]>
Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Danny Pickering
Title: DD0337
Style: Rock, Soul, Breaks
Time: 62 minutes
Date: 2016-07-24

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Danny Pickering to the Dusk Dubs family...

Danny spent many years cutting his teeth as a DJ and producer acquiring a variety of music tastes along the way including house, funk and soul. He started off DJing at the after party scene in Salisbury and got into music that way. He has also produced music with fellow cohort Alex Martin as well as a string of remixes and re-edits. Along with Alex, they form the backbone to Box Frequency FM, an internet radio station catering for deep house, techno, electronica, funk and all things soulful.

"I started off DJing at the after party scene in Salisbury and got into music that way. I was actually into the hardcore gabba techno scene and a bit of drum and bass of the time. I’ve mellowed out over the years and discovered house music and Detroit flavours. I’ve been at it for the past ten to fifteen years. Production wise I’ve just started up a new outfit called 54th Street Hustler, with which I now have a record deal. Radio wise, I started out playing at a station based in Portsmouth that specialised mainly in trance music, I was the only one playing deep house at the time and have continued with that trend ever since."

"My first dabble into electronic music was probably a lot latter into adult life than that of most people reading this. I was initiated into a fading era of nu-skool breaks and Ed-Banger electro, but soon my interests focused onto the more subtle sounds of techno and anything drenched in smooth bass.

The envious task of curating my third mixtape for the #DuskDubs series, and my first under the Mode 8 moniker, brought with it an opportunity to find new music. I have prepared for this mixtape as I would a DJ mix, and that is to focus on an idea and then go out and search for the sounds to build it, be it those in my own collection or those I have yet to discover. The end result is a selection that has about 40% of the tracks taken from my record own box and music that spans nearly two decades. It also offers a fairly accurate representation of where I am musically right now.

I would like to thank all the #DuskDubs crew for inviting me once again to make a contribution to this stunning project. I hope you enjoy the listen.

This week we welcome DJ Aftershock to the Dusk Dubs family...

"I’m really excited to have the opportunity to select for DuskDubs and I’d like to say thanks to the DuskDubs crew for asking me. I’d also like to thank all the previous DuskDubbers – your selections have been inspirational.

My journey into electronic music started in 1990 when I was just a 15 year-old indie kid listening to Ride, Pixies and My Bloody Valentine. On the Festive 50 that year, John Peel played the 20-minute Peel Session version of A Huge Ever-Growing Brain… by The Orb and it turned my world upside down.

I went from shoe-gazing indie to ambient and dub, then through techno and trance to hardcore, jungle and drum & bass, picking up a serious vinyl habit along the way. I’ve tried to include a flavour of this journey in my selections.

It was a joy to put together; I hope it’s as much fun to listen to."

**Tracklisting**

1) The Upsetters - Fresh Up
2) Plaid - Scoobs In Colombia
3) DJ Food - Agua
4) Salmonella Dub – Push On Thru
5) The Orb - Perpetual Dawn (Ultrabass II)
6) Roots Manuva - Inna
7) Bungle – Aura
8) My Bloody Valentine - Soon
9) David Lynch - The Pink Room
10) Land Observations - Flatlands & the Flemish Roads
11) Beth Orton - Galaxy Of Emptiness

The Upsetters - Fresh Up (1970) – I’m not a musician so I’m in awe of people like Lee Scratch Perry who single-mindedly blaze their own trail, making music with whatever is available to them. This odd little tune is like a funky ghost train ride and I loved it the moment I first heard it.

Plaid - Scoobs In Colombia (1992) – Plaid were part of the original Black Dog collective and in 1992 they produced this urgent, kinetic, latin-flavoured breakbeat track which I first heard when it was included on the David Holmes Essential Mix. It’s all about that break.

DJ Food - Agua (1994) – Ninja Tune have always been at the forefront of jazzy, experimental breakbeat music and this wicked little track by DJ Food was hidden away on the Jazz Brakes Volume 5 collection. Proper sunshine music.

Salmonella Dub – Push On Thru (2001) – I spent a year living in New Zealand and this track was everywhere. Mixing Polynesian musicality with reggae, jungle and hip-hop, Salmonella Dub were part of the scene that produced Fat Freddy’s Drop, and they were amazing live too !

The Orb - Perpetual Dawn (Ultrabass II) (1991) – I had to include some Orb! I’d love to have picked the Peel Session version of A Huge Ever-growing Brain but it’s too long and this is just as good. Plus it features Andy Weatherall on remix duties, which is a bonus. Music which says about the future !

Roots Manuva - Inna (1999) – I love Roots Manuva’s self-deprecating humour and the way he tackles serious issues in his music. This story of a night out gone wrong is from the period when UK hip-hop was shaking off the influence of its US cousin to become an original, vibrant sound in its own right.

Bungle - Aura (2013) – I wasn’t going to include any drum & bass but this beautiful, shoe-gaze influenced tune was too good to leave out. It’s all about death, but don’t let that put you off !

My Bloody Valentine - Soon (1989) – This is my favourite song by my favourite band. 1988s Isn’t Anything and 1991’s Loveless book-ended the shoegaze scene and Loveless went on to be incredibly influential, redefining the studio as an instrument the way the early dub pioneers did before. This track is from the 1990’s Glider EP, released just as the band discovered dance music and ecstasy. The detuned, swooning guitars and shuffly, dancefloor beats work really well. The Weatherall remix featured on a previous DuskDubs, but it’s all about the original for me!

David Lynch - The Pink Room (1992) – from the soundtrack of the best horror movie of the 90s - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Laura and Donna are at the Roadhouse when we finally discover how far Laura has fallen. It was written by Lynch himself, and I love it.

Land Observations - Flatlands & the Flemish Roads (2014) – I’m fascinated by music that creates complexity by layering simple rhythms and phrases. James Brooks has been quietly releasing beautiful music as Land Observations on Mute since 2011 and this track is right up my street !

Beth Orton - Galaxy Of Emptiness (1996) – this smoky, jazzy track from Beth Orton’s debut LP is the perfect way to round off my DuskDubs selection. I love that the double bass is allowed to take centre stage for the first two minutes, and when the vocals come in the track just soars.]]>

Plaid - Scoobs In Colombia (1992) – Plaid were part of the original Black Dog collective and in 1992 they produced this urgent, kinetic, latin-flavoured breakbeat track which I first heard when it was included on the David Holmes Essential Mix. It’s all about that break.

DJ Food - Agua (1994) – Ninja Tune have always been at the forefront of jazzy, experimental breakbeat music and this wicked little track by DJ Food was hidden away on the Jazz Brakes Volume 5 collection. Proper sunshine music.

Salmonella Dub – Push On Thru (2001) – I spent a year living in New Zealand and this track was everywhere. Mixing Polynesian musicality with reggae, jungle and hip-hop, Salmonella Dub were part of the scene that produced Fat Freddy’s Drop, and they were amazing live too !

The Orb - Perpetual Dawn (Ultrabass II) (1991) – I had to include some Orb! I’d love to have picked the Peel Session version of A Huge Ever-growing Brain but it’s too long and this is just as good. Plus it features Andy Weatherall on remix duties, which is a bonus. Music which says about the future !

Roots Manuva - Inna (1999) – I love Roots Manuva’s self-deprecating humour and the way he tackles serious issues in his music. This story of a night out gone wrong is from the period when UK hip-hop was shaking off the influence of its US cousin to become an original, vibrant sound in its own right.

Bungle - Aura (2013) – I wasn’t going to include any drum & bass but this beautiful, shoe-gaze influenced tune was too good to leave out. It’s all about death, but don’t let that put you off !

My Bloody Valentine - Soon (1989) – This is my favourite song by my favourite band. 1988s Isn’t Anything and 1991’s Loveless book-ended the shoegaze scene and Loveless went on to be incredibly influential, redefining the studio as an instrument the way the early dub pioneers did before. This track is from the 1990’s Glider EP, released just as the band discovered dance music and ecstasy. The detuned, swooning guitars and shuffly, dancefloor beats work really well. The Weatherall remix featured on a previous DuskDubs, but it’s all about the original for me!

David Lynch - The Pink Room (1992) – from the soundtrack of the best horror movie of the 90s - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Laura and Donna are at the Roadhouse when we finally discover how far Laura has fallen. It was written by Lynch himself, and I love it.

Land Observations - Flatlands & the Flemish Roads (2014) – I’m fascinated by music that creates complexity by layering simple rhythms and phrases. James Brooks has been quietly releasing beautiful music as Land Observations on Mute since 2011 and this track is right up my street !

Beth Orton - Galaxy Of Emptiness (1996) – this smoky, jazzy track from Beth Orton’s debut LP is the perfect way to round off my DuskDubs selection. I love that the double bass is allowed to take centre stage for the first two minutes, and when the vocals come in the track just soars.]]> 951734 no no Sun, 10 Jul 2016 10:58:36 +0200 2016-07-10T10:58:36+02:00 1:04:29 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0334-dusk-dubs-kotdb/

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome KOTDB (King Of The Delta Blues) to the Dusk Dubs family...

"It's a real pleasure to be given the chance to put together a compilation for Dusk Dubs.

I DJ under the name King of the Delta Blues (Kotdb), as I share a name with the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson, who was said to have sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads. For the past nine years, I’ve been playing a show on Monday nights on Purple Radio. The tag line for my show is ‘the long winding road from country to techno’ - which leaves me open to play whatever I like, really !

I’ve taken musical inspiration from many things along the way… Lots of musical styles filtered through in my childhood - from 60s, 70s and 80s pop to hip hop and metal, but it wasn’t until I started clubbing in Glasgow in the late 90s that my mind truly opened to the underground. I cut my raving teeth listening to Slam and the host of Detroit and Chicago artists and DJs that regularly appeared in the Arches and Sub Club. Deep, dark, head down, propulsive techno. Optimo on Sunday nights opened my ears to a whole other world of musical experimentation and then later Gilles Peterson and the Big Chill festival carried this forward for me, joining the dots.

Matching music to whatever is going on in the room is my favourite thing in the world. When you find the track that suits the moment, everything is better. I hope I never tire of that.

It’s been tough to decide on my tracklist for this compilation. I was torn between so many moods I wanted to create. In the end, I tried to tune into a moment I have found myself locking into time and time again during my radio shows. It’s a time after the sun has set but before it finally gets dark. It's a transition time that is tinged with bittersweet feelings. The half light creates a unique emotion. That feeling of the heat from the day’s sun in your face, of being alive. The fading glory of the day bringing nostalgia, but also excitement at what the long night ahead might bring. Either way, I hope my selections convey that feeling and take you there.

**Tracklisting**

1. Mark Barrot - Formentera Headspace Blues Part 2
2. UB40 - King
3. Manu Delago - Two Handsful of sound
4. Felix Laband - Whistling in Tongues
5. Lulacruza - Cucarachero de Niceforo
6. Quintus Project - Night Flight (Psychemagik remix)
7. Iggy Pop - Endless Sea
8. Road to Shaanxi - Revelation
9. The Cinematic Orchestra - Channel 1 Suite

11. Suicide - Cheree
12. Air - Run
13. Move D - In/Out (Initial mix)
14. James Holden - 10101
15. The The - Giant

Mark Barrot - Formentera Headspace Blues Part 2 - From a beautiful album inspired by the White Isle this is one of those micro tunes that leaves you wanting more. Under two minutes long but says so much. Reflections of a beautiful day that’s just starting to fade away.

UB40 - King - By the time I was old enough to be aware of UB40 they were a bit naff but I have since discovered their first album Signing off which is a masterpiece. This is a peach of a track. Recorded in a bedsit with trumpets in the kitchen and drums and congas in the back yard.

Manu Delago - Two Handsful of Sound - This track is made using the Hang instrument. Kind of like a steel drum it produces a sound that is truly mesmerising. I first heard of Manu Delago through his collaboration with Bjork.

Felix Laband - Whistling in tongues - This track virtually stops midway then builds to a crescendo that still gives me goosebumps. I’m jealous if you have never heard it before though.

Lulacruza - Cucarachero de Niceforo - Quite a new one compared to some in this list but I heard this on six music a few months ago and it stopped me in my tracks. It’s from an album called a guide to the birdsong of south America.

Quintus Project - Night flight (Psychemagik Remix) - This is a long one at 14 mins and made me sacrifice some amazing tracks in the final list. I think it sums up the feeling I was trying to create in this mix though. That bittersweet, nostalgic, Balearic, blissed out thing, so it left me free to go in other directions with the rest of my choices.

Iggy Pop - Endless Sea - As the waves fade out on the last track we enter the endless sea. This is a krautrock, synth led piece of genius from the New Values album.

Road to Shaanxi - Revelation - I don’t know a lot about this one but heard it on Tom Ravenscroft’s radio show a few years back. It’s a cinematic beauty.

The Cinematic Orchestra - Channel 1 Suite - Gilles P introduced me to the Cinematic Orchestra with this tune. Still a belter. Incredible drumming and has that smoky, espionage vibe about it.

Mulato Astatke - Yekermo Sew - Smoky espionage vibe pretty much sums this one up too. I love that Ethiopian 70’s jazz sound.

Suicide - Cheree - This is one of those old tracks that I got such a buzz finding hearing for the first time. There’s enough exciting music already made to last a hundred lifetimes. Drug addled, slightly deranged warm fuzziness.

Air - Run - When I first met my wife I lived in a cottage in the hills in Scotland and she was in Brixton. I’d spent a weekend raving in London with her and was heading home. This came on as I was taking off in the plane and rising up above the lights of London. Epic.

Move D - In/Out (Initial Mix) - From a true masterpiece album of electronic music- Kunststoff, this is the real deal.

James Holden - 101010 - In my opinion one of the greatest pieces of electronic music ever recorded. Beautiful pixelated psychedelia.

The The - Giant - A band I had never heard until this year. Again discovering the old is every bit as thrilling as the latest thing. This is a monster track.]]>

"Felt the need to put up another Hip-Hop infused selection. Again I find myself reflecting on the goodtimes whilst putting this mixtape together.

Gone a bit darker with some of these tracks, but for a good reason.

Running with a crew meant you had to have attitude and these tracks definitely have plenty of that !

Also thrown into the mix are some classics with a revisit/twist, so spin those snapbacks round, put on your shell toes with fatties. and let the ink and tunes flow as one.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Digital to the Dusk Dubs family.....

”This is not a 'Cool' list….. it’s a 'ME' list

My list is mainly a bunch old tracks I'm attached to in one way or another. For me, memories stick to a track so a certain track can remind me of good times. Of course there are tracks in this list where I thought, Wow this amazing !!!! but nothing pleases me more than playing a track that takes me back to great memories because it makes me feel warm inside".

**Tracklisting**

1) Thriller - Michael Jackson

The whole Thriller concept was brilliant. It consisted of the ghouly video with 3D scary biz, a brilliant track plus Thriller had a massive worldwide movement behind it as the whole thing was nailed 100%. EPIC. It blew me and pretty much everyone away.

2) Fabian - Prophecy

I love my bass, believe that. If you love your bass you need to hear this track on a tumping soundsystem. This kind off bassline makes you smile, screw face and jump around.

3) Ice T - Reckless

Just thinking about this track freaks me out (In a good way) because the memories attached to this are too much to process !

4) Public Enemy - Rebel Without A Pause

I 'borrowed' my brother's copy, I attempted scratching without a slipmat, 1 ruined scratched up record, 1 slap in the head, minus pocket money, 1 new copy for my brother !

5) Shannon - Let The Music Play

I loved this track and so did my older brother and sisters. Memories of dancing around together..

6) Soul 2 Soul - Fair Play

I love when a woman sings on a heavy track, just like they do withLovers Rock reggae. This sounds innocent at home but this seriously drops in a club, I know this because I was sneaking out of my house around the time this track was running it to hit the clubs. My mum had enough of my dishonesty and threw me out ha ha.

7) 45 KING - The 900 Number

This loop blessed my awful attempt at breaking and body popping.

8) Man Parrish - Hip Hop Be Bop

I really thought. WOW! How do they make music like this? It still sounds as fresh and amazing as it did back then.

9) Hashim - Al - Naafyish (The Soul)

A killer track that got released when I was 10 but I don't recall hearing it until I was 16 along with a bunch of hip hop tracks. I think this track warmed me up for techno and all the other electronic music I got into.

10) Jeru The Damaja - Ya Playin Yaself

I'm into old Skool Hip Hop so I wasn't really paying attention to Hip Hop in the mid 90's especially as I was out raving and furthermore, I was trying to make a name for myself in the DnB scene. This track perked my ears up to Hip Hop again

11) Talk Talk - Life Is What You Make it

I don't even know what they say throughout this track but the chorus has soothed me many a time.

12) Raze - Jack The Groove

A bit of electronic pop we can all get down to.

13) Kraftwerk - Tour De France

When my sister, who was in a dance group at the time, bought this home I hated it but after a few weeks i loved it. Later It turned up in one of the Breakdance movies so I heard it in a different way and loved it even more.

14) World Dominance - Compression

I heard this in 1991. I only had alcohol up until then, I heard this track on the night that changed, I never looked back...Time to rave hard !

15) Doc Scott - Surgery (Ordinary Mix)

Lets have it! I literally lost my mind to this however, I found it again until the next time I heard it.

16) Joey Beltram - Energy Flash

I remember my friend Danny C saying, 'If I go out and a Dj doesn't play Energy Flash they're shit' ha ha.

17) Lennie DE Ice - We Are I.E.

A track that made me believe Jungle and DnB was for me. There doesn't seem to be much of this vibe around nowadays which is sad !

18) Manix - You Held My Hand - Marc Mac & Goldie remix

Beautiful and Rugged at the same time. It's one of my favourite DnB tracks for sure.

19) Doc Scott - V.I.P. DRUMZ

You're super talented if you can remix a track twice and each one is as good as each other. A Metalheadz at Blue Note staple and it worked everytime. Big up Doc Scott.

**Tracklisting**

1) TM404 - 303-303-303-606-606
2) Donato Dozzy & Nuel - Aqua 8
3) Voices From The Lake Feat S.T. (Vftl Rework)
4) Monolake - Amazon
5) The Orb - Moon Scapes 2703 BC
6) Boreal taiga - Fly
7) Cv313 - Subtraktive (Deepchord Presents Echospace Live Mix)
8) Porter ricks - Port gentil
9) Jonah Sharp & Fred P – Substance

The first track is a strange dubbed out acid magic. Based around the sounds from retro analogue gear produced by Roland the 303,606,707 & 808 are worked and tweaked in ways I haven't heard before, to produce dubby spaced out grooves. I’ve never heard this track on any mixes before that’s why I decided to put it in there. Likewise for Aqua8, recommended to me by Canadian producer Tomas Jirku. Voices from the lake, hailed as the best album of 2012 by Resident advisor is a must have albums. Moon scapes is from the new Orb album and little techy so fits well with the rest of the tracks. Porter Ricks is a classic from1996 on Chain reaction and the last track is a beautiful ambient-techno number! Enjoy!]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Flatliner with his 'Arcade Special'...

"Having been exposed to music from a young age and always being the creative, arty type at school and college, I always wanted to try and write my own music at some point in my life. Luckily for me, I realised my dream and looking back at my influences, it’s very easy to name check the usual chart heroes so I won’t this time.

But what also played an absolutely integral part in forming my musical taste was video games and their theme tunes, no doubt about it. Most kids in the late 80s and early 90s were glued to their games consoles or home computers. I was no exception and whether you realised it or not, video game music was infiltrating kids and teenagers subconscious for hours at a time.

Whilst this all sounds very ominous, the good news was that most video games had exceptionally good theme tunes written by some very talented musicians indeed and as the technology developed, so did the theme tunes. The early 8-bit chip tunes were fun and very hummable but as the consoles and computers got more and more powerful, so the theme tunes grew in complexity and depth and a lot of them began to take on a life of their own.

So what we have here in my third DuskDubs selection is not just the videogame music I remember from being a gangly, awkward teenager but also some very recent stuff as well. I am 40 now and very much still an avid gamer and that passion for gaming has now passed onto my 8 year old son George who, when I told him what I was compiling, absolutely insisted that I put in at least one theme tune from the excellent Minecraft.

So I did.

I really hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane,

Peace out

Flatliner"

This week we welcome back Dave Faze...

"It’s indeed an honour to be asked back for my third Dusk Dubs excursion and this time i’m going for a different vibe. It has taken me a while, months in fact to select what your about to hear for my mixtape, going back to the 90’s where it all started for me – the smoky clubs of London where nothing was off limits and experimentation with beats and breaks was at the fore…the tracks selected represent yet again my musical passion and as you can see the main emphasis is on the jungle / drum n bass, atmospheric style that was so prevalent from the mid 90’s onwards. It really was a special time – Bukem, Fabio, Goldie, Reinforced and many more were championing the emerging new sounds of drum n bass and my selection represents the best from that era.

I’d like to big up the Dusk Dubs crew once again asking me to select – its an honour guys! Also have to big up James Burns (JB from Tottenham for those that know!) from the London from The Rooftops project for the stunning art work…nuff love for you brother! Sit back and enjoy the riddims…..

Enjoy"

**Tracklisting**

1) Into The 90's - Photek
2) Never Tell You - Rhythm & Sound
3) Sweet Dreams - DJ Crystl
4) Heliopshan - Aphex Twin
5) The Ephemeris - Futurebound
6) This Way - Skanna
7) 9am Distant Train - Loop Guru
8) You Held My Hand (Mark Mac & Goldie Remix) - Manix & Rufige Cru
9) Kemistry (Doc Scott Remix) - Goldie

Into The 90’s – Photek - One of my favourite producers of all time! I have a lot in my collection from this genius and the track I have selected is one of his more downbeat productions taken from the ‘Natural Born Killa’ EP on Metalheadz released in 94. The track title says it all as we commence our journey….deep, laid back jazzy, atmospheric vibes.

Never Tell You – Rhythm & Sound - The dubbed out vibes on this beauty immediately drew my attention the first time I heard it; a modern day dub classic that gets better on every listen. Produced in 96 on the Burial Mix label it sums up many a time coming back from raves in need of a proper chill out!! This is in my top 10 of dubs and takes me back to many a soundsystem party such as University of Dub where 3 to 4 systems would battle for supremacy over the course of the night,.big up the Brixton and Manor House crews back in the day !

Sweet Dreamz – DJ Crystl - A 9 minute journey of blissful deepness that transcends dnb – a masterpiece from DJ Crystl. The track as a dream like quality with soft pads and sweeping flutes that transport you to another world entirely. One of the best of the best, in my top 10 for sure.

Heliosphan – Aphex Twin - Taken from Selected Ambient Works Vol 2 – this is my favourite from the lp. Euphoric and building and a tune that holds many memories for me, namely the birth of my eldest daughter, Jazmine. I used to play this album to her to get her off to sleep! Stunning in everyway…

The Ephemeris – Futurebound - A tune that takes you on a journey to other worlds – to a peaceful and tranquil place. The stunning acoustic guitars and sax with watery pads…like the best dream you have ever had…when I play atmospherics, this 12 rarely leaves my bag. Make a cocktail and transport yourself to that sunny beach in the Indian Ocean !

This Way – Skanna - Another track that rarely leaves my bag these days as its such a masterpiece. I first heard this on the now legendary Bukem Essential Mix in 1995 (which I recommend very highly if you haven’t heard it). Its got it all – stunning vocals, a gorgeous piano hook…truly a tune to die for. Big up the Skanna aka John Graham…

9am Distant Train – Loop Guru - Taken from the 1994 album ‘The Third Chamber’ for me its an essential ambient album along with works from Aphex Twin and Brian Eno…the perfect come down album…take your time and lose yourself as I have done many a time to this track…beautiful stuff.

You Held My Hand (Mark Marc & Goldie Mix) – Manix & Rufige Cru - You Held My Hand taken from Enforcers Volume 4 – my selection wouldn’t be complete without Da R! The most influential label in DnB and hardcore now over 25 years old. This track is a stunner…emotionally charged and full of vibes, a true classic of Reinforced back catalogue. One I like to play at the end of set…

Kemistry (Doc Scott Remix) – Goldie - Kemistry ...what more needs to said of this classic classic track remixed by the master Doc Scott? Undeniably emotional for any true head; this brings back great memories of seeing Goldie and Heritage Orchestra last year in London…Thursday crew – this one you! Also features the amazing vocal talents of Diane Charlemagne who sadly passed away in 2015…RIP]]>

This week we welcome The Jazzateer to the Dusk Dubs family...

"Big thanks to Dusk Dubs for asking me to put a mix tape together. It's an honour and been an absolute pleasure.

Music wise, I wanted to create a nice relaxed vibe, a kinda "back to mine" after a night out clubbing with your mates.

It's been tricky to narrow down my tunes, but I've chosen a selection of tracks that I've had an emotional connection with over the last 20 years or so, music that has moved me in some unidentifiable way.

When I first started getting into electronic music, it was always the more ambient based stuff that I seemed to be drawn to and it's played a huge part in my life, but I wanted to avoid the bigger and more obvious choices from that genre so I've included some rap, hip hop and dub.

So, if you're just in from a cracking night out and need to chill, open a beer, pour a wine, light up a joint and enjoy the journey."

Time: 79 Minutes
Date: 2016-05-08

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Long Dark Tunnel to the Dusk Dubs family...

"First of all, what an absolute pleasure to be given an opportunity to shine a light on a corner of my musical delights. With so many legitimate musical producers and DJs showcasing their talents on a weekly basis, it is very humbling for me as an enthusiast to join the DuskDubs ranks. Special praise once again goes to the Dusk DUbs team for their faultless endeavours in trying to maintain a weekly flow of sounds - often varying yet always beautiful.

My first real musical love has stuck with me throughout my years, Hiphop. A genre of sound like no other which ripped up the copybook on creating a musical track and started the whole process all over again. The producers, DJs and MCs have such a broad spectrum of influences in their music which they never shy away from - whether it's jazz, funk, soul, blues, politics or history - every story is told through the sounds and lyrics. The whole concept of sampling another artist's track was so alien to modern day music that it caused an uproar.

Perhaps, hiphop was at its best when it was causing an uproar - whether it was musically or socially - or both.

I've tried my very best to recreate that mixtape feel, varying classic tracks with newer sounds and throwing in loads of skits which were often the bedrock of the early hip-hop artists' albums.

I really hope you enjoy this selection half as much as I enjoyed putting it together."

"I thoroughly enjoyed putting this selection together and I’ve endeavoured to stick to the ethos of choosing tunes that are personal and that would be more suited to the afterhour’s session.

I am honoured to have been asked and sincerely hope that my offering fits in with the superb mixes already on offer.

Every track is evocative of special times and places."

**Tracklisting**

1) Jimi Hendrix- Bold as Love -What superlative can you use for this man that hasn’t been used before? I got into Hendrix at probably 14 or 15 after previously only having ears for all things Two Tone or Mod flavoured. To say he made my head spin is an understatement. An incredible musician who sadly left us far too soon, but who thankfully left a peerless body of work. This was a difficult choice as could have been any one of a number, but i decided to go with this track from the ‘Axis: Bold as Love’ album. This is music that I can return to over again and continually find new things –truly revolutionary.

2) Spiritualized- Let it Flow - A band that have had a special place in my heart for a great number of years. I love Spacemen 3, but for me Jason Pierce took the whole sound to a completely different level with Spiritualized. Everything about their output is spot on. I love the drawing together of influences such as Rock, Psychedelia, Gospel, Soul and Blues.

The attention to detail and the clarity in production is phenomenal. Nothing is out of place. This is music to play as loudly as possible and let it works its sonic magic.

3) Shuggie Otis- Pling! - I discovered this little jewel on the re-issue of Shuggie Otis’ seminal Inspiration Information. Originally released in 1974 the whole album was light years ahead of its time- genre defying and deeply curious. This track is the aural equivalent of a summer’s day with a loved one by the sea (or river...or any large body of water) - simply gorgeous.

4) Timmy Thomas- Why can’t we Live together ? - The percussion and the DIY sound and off kilter rhythm to this track fit perfectly with Shuggie Otis’ track beforehand. I first heard a version of this on an old tape my brother made for me in about 1988. The Love and Unity Remix by Danny Rampling of Illusion. It’s one of those records that just stuck but upon hearing the original there is only one winner. A heartfelt paean to Peace and Harmony. Why can’t we live together indeed?

5) Dion- Born to be with You - I first heard this on Mary- Anne Hobb’s Breezeblock show on Radio 1 back in 1997 (?). This was included in a selection put together by J. Spaceman of Spiritualized. This is everything that I love in Music. Aural Perfection.

6) Dusty Springfield- Windmills of your mind - One of the finest female vocalists ever in my humble opinion. This track is taken from the peerless Dusty in Memphis album originally realised in 1969. The album was a commercial failure upon its release but has since been revered as one of the most important soul albums recorded. The way that she embraces and caresses the lyrics takes this song into a whole new dimension. Couple the voice with the sublime arrangement- The sweeping strings and the gorgeous flamenco pickings make this a sophisticated classic

7) Japan- Ghosts - I remember hearing this as a kid on the radio and being completely blown away by its incredible strangeness. I was a little skinhead at the time so admitting that I liked this track was strictly verboten! Thankfully this has graduated from a forbidden pleasure to an open and honest relationship over the years. I still marvel at the eeriness of the electronics combined with David Sylvain’s completely individual vocals

8) - The Specials- Ghost Town - The original and still one of the best.

The Specials will always hold a special place in my heart (you’ll notice that there are a few of these). This record was a perfect indictment of Thatcherite Britain, which is sadly, as relevant today in relation to Cameroon and his cronies. I wasn’t lucky enough to see The Specials in their original incarnation but, have been lucky enough to see them on three occasions since they reformed. Every time has been an occasion of deep personal joy.

9) Sabres of Paradise- Wilmot - Weatherall and Dub- A match made in Heaven. No surprise that the Guvnor has made it into my selection and again it could have been anyone of number of tunes. I’ve long held a deep affinity with Reggae and Dub in particular, so this choice was perfect. This is by far the better version then contained within the excellent ‘Haunted Dancehall’ album. The production and the layered vocals add an air of menace that is intoxicating.

10) Massive Attack Vs Mad Professor- Bumper Ball Dub - Two of my favourite artists. ‘Who knows that secret of the Master Tape’? Was probably the first Dub album that I bought (along with Scientist ‘Rids the world of the evil curse of the Vampires ? Scientist takes Massive Attacks version and dub’s it into a whole new dimension. Forward the Bass. Forward the Treble!

11) Talvin Singh & Rakesh Chaurasia- Heaven - Sunrise over the Ganges.

12) Tom Middleton- Sea of Glass - Tom Middleton has been one of favourite produces since I heard Global Communications seminal 76:14 album. No matter the style Tom always imbues his music with such a clarity and depth of emotional warmth. This is taken from the sublime Lifetracks album. If you don’t own this album, I can only ask Why not ?

13) The Style Council- It’s a very deep Sea - Paul Weller (along with the Specials) has been the musical foundations upon which everything else has been built. The record showcases just what a great vocalist Weller is, with the lyrics unsparingly honest. The simple accompaniment of Mick Talbot on piano and D.C. Lee’s backing vocals provide a masterpiece of blue eyed soul.

14) Omar- There’s nothing like this - The Voice. One of the best bass lines ever recorded. Pure Class.

15) Orange Juice- Rip it up - Another record that has remained with my since my youth. Fast forward to Despecio @ Camden Roundhouse in 2014- still energising the whole dancefloor. Wibblywobblyfunkiness.]]>

"Hi, it´s an honor to be included, thanks for this....

Picking these tracks was pretty hard work. I first wanted to make a history of my own music eduction but then decided to pick tracks that come instantly to my mind when thinking of a BEST-OF-THE-BEST list and even then it was hard decisions. So these tracks show a good range of music that moves me or tickles my brain.

Have fun listening"....

**Tracklisting**

01 Kode9 "9 Samurai" (Hyperdub) so what to say about this one...THIS is THE track for me...this should be played at my funeral.i can listen to this a hundred times and it doesn´t get bad, the deep bass, the rollin´ drums.what else can you ask for?

02 Distance "Cyclops" (Planet Mu) I think i first heard this on a show on subFM. then i forgot about it a couple of months until i was shoppingin a record store in hamburg and found it. i TOTALLY went crazy about it again. it´s that kind of trackthat gives you strength and power. it´s like marchin´. i never was in the army but that is the soundtrackfor marching soldiers in my head.

03 Shackleton "Blood on my hands" (Skull Disco)yeah shackleton! i luv him. i totally luv him. i´ve included him twice in this playlist but i could´veput a ton of his tracks here. i had to restrain myself.

04 Omen "Rebellion" (Tectonic) This is one i also heard first on a subFM show. at the peak of dubstep in 2007/2008 or so subFM was the onlyway for me to get to new stuff. i love this one because it´s kind of empty but not empty at the same time. the rythm is reduced to death but it still works. thats what i luv about that early stuff.

05 El Mahdy Jr. "Last Breath" (ZamZam) With this one we start into a special area of my musical love. glimpses of it you could hear with the shackleton tracksearlier. i totally love oriental influenced music. arabic scales and rythms. you can get lost in it.

06 Badawi "El Topo" (Index001) There are some really great albums by badawi out there. i choosed this one which is the first release on index.i came across this because of the great shackleton remix thats on this too.this is also a mighty one. the horn-like pitched down sound that cuts through the emptyness.

07 Muslimgauze "Every Grain Of Palestinian Sand (2) (Staalplaat) I don´t write anything to this....

08 Jacques Palinger "Tuedeldub (Shackleton Remix) (Pudel Produkte) Maybe someone of the listeners knows the golden pudel club in hamburg. if not...travel there...the original is a reggea-like track and shackleton twisted the lyrics and is doing his thing over this.the lyrics are VERY VERY funny. try to translate them if you want to. it´s an adaption of a folk song.it´s about stealing apples and all that. it´s plattdeutsch, "hamburg-slang".

09 Ulrich Troyer "Eurocity to Munich" (Deep Medi Musik) I often come back to this album. it´s a great "living room" record. to chill to, to cook to or do somethingelse. oh, and its a nice story about a little stompbox of course.

10 Emika "Wicked Game" (Ninja Tune Zen)this is the "ladies-track" on this playlist. maybe my feminine side. wicked game is an awesome song for itself.and emika treated it well and her ever present "blues" fits good on this one. sometimes i need stuff like this.

11 Dj Rum "What i was doing when i was doing what i was doing" (Samurai Red Seal) The next tracks start some kind of futuristic part of this. this one by dj rum is one of my favourite tracks ofthe last two years. and it´s great that its on samurai music, because i totally love the stuff DJ Presha is doing with this label.

12 Felix K "Aussenwelt" (Hidden Hawaii)i could have picked any release of Hidden Hawaii. i think this one sums up what it´s about. futuristic breakbeats, bladerunnerstyle music. one of my favourite labels if not THE favourite. sadly, the releases are often limited and you have to be quick to get one.

13 Ena "District" (Samurai Horo)another one from samurai music, this time from the Horo imprint which is totally experimental. the noisy stuff and the hidden rythms inside that noise....for me ena is totally killing it with the last longplayers.

14 Ed Rush "Guncheck" (No U Turn)....THE TRACK....I think i first heard this in a documentation on arte.tv which was called "London Jungle". that was maybe 1996or so. since then this track is always by my side....

The last two tracks are something special...i discovered german rap and hip hop again. since my youth i lost track of it.i don´t know how i came to "sichtexot" but that stuff kicks me the last weeks and months. check it out. it´s always kind of rawand unpolished with a large amount of jazz in it.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome S_EncE to the Dusk Dubs family...

"Hi, it´s an honor to be included, thanks for this....

Picking these tracks was pretty hard work. I first wanted to make a history of my own music eduction but then decided to pick tracks that come instantly to my mind when thinking of a BEST-OF-THE-BEST list and even then it was hard decisions. So these tracks show a good range of music that moves me or tickles my brain.

Have fun listening"....

**Tracklisting**

01 Kode9 "9 Samurai" (Hyperdub) so what to say about this one...THIS is THE track for me...this should be played at my funeral.i can listen to this a hundred times and it doesn´t get bad, the deep bass, the rollin´ drums.what else can you ask for?

02 Distance "Cyclops" (Planet Mu) I think i first heard this on a show on subFM. then i forgot about it a couple of months until i was shoppingin a record store in hamburg and found it. i TOTALLY went crazy about it again. it´s that kind of trackthat gives you strength and power. it´s like marchin´. i never was in the army but that is the soundtrackfor marching soldiers in my head.

03 Shackleton "Blood on my hands" (Skull Disco)yeah shackleton! i luv him. i totally luv him. i´ve included him twice in this playlist but i could´veput a ton of his tracks here. i had to restrain myself.

04 Omen "Rebellion" (Tectonic) This is one i also heard first on a subFM show. at the peak of dubstep in 2007/2008 or so subFM was the onlyway for me to get to new stuff. i love this one because it´s kind of empty but not empty at the same time. the rythm is reduced to death but it still works. thats what i luv about that early stuff.

05 El Mahdy Jr. "Last Breath" (ZamZam) With this one we start into a special area of my musical love. glimpses of it you could hear with the shackleton tracksearlier. i totally love oriental influenced music. arabic scales and rythms. you can get lost in it.

06 Badawi "El Topo" (Index001) There are some really great albums by badawi out there. i choosed this one which is the first release on index.i came across this because of the great shackleton remix thats on this too.this is also a mighty one. the horn-like pitched down sound that cuts through the emptyness.

07 Muslimgauze "Every Grain Of Palestinian Sand (2) (Staalplaat) I don´t write anything to this....

08 Jacques Palinger "Tuedeldub (Shackleton Remix) (Pudel Produkte) Maybe someone of the listeners knows the golden pudel club in hamburg. if not...travel there...the original is a reggea-like track and shackleton twisted the lyrics and is doing his thing over this.the lyrics are VERY VERY funny. try to translate them if you want to. it´s an adaption of a folk song.it´s about stealing apples and all that. it´s plattdeutsch, "hamburg-slang".

09 Ulrich Troyer "Eurocity to Munich" (Deep Medi Musik) I often come back to this album. it´s a great "living room" record. to chill to, to cook to or do somethingelse. oh, and its a nice story about a little stompbox of course.

10 Emika "Wicked Game" (Ninja Tune Zen)this is the "ladies-track" on this playlist. maybe my feminine side. wicked game is an awesome song for itself.and emika treated it well and her ever present "blues" fits good on this one. sometimes i need stuff like this.

"The word dark is thrown about in techno far too lightly these days, by kids with no idea of the history of Techno. People come from their safely packaged commercial music and discover techno, and instantly think they have found something "dark". To them it may well be, but techno has always been the darker more abstract end of electronic music. Dark techno has always been somewhat of a sub genre that is outsider music.

Abstract, difficult, challenging, powerful, elitist and quite niche and anything but safe. Its time to reclaim the word Dark for those who truly understand what it means, to take it away from the plastic, anti bacterial and safe, watered down version of what is claiming itself as dark, and to return it to those who work on the fringes of genre. Those that experiment, that move against type, with their roots tracing back to the industrial pioneers. The dark ,the abstract and the ambience.

Socialising Techno for any time of the day."

**Tracklisting**

Intro) Object Folk Five

1) Silent Harbour – Descending - IDM, Dub Techno, Ambient,heavenly drones to put you on a journey.

2) Luis Ruiz - Ergosphere - Resurging the old school techno which had lost the roots of the genre.

3) The Body and the Haxan Cloak - Darkness Surround Us - So committed to forcing your head underwater to the point of blackout - So much in this at the moment.

4) Plastikman - Outbak - Many faces but Richie delivered so much,from 1994 but sounds so fresh.

5) Dasha Rush - 100 Hearts - Music mostly focused away from the dancefloor ,and sometimes away from the music itself but which brings up a mixture of rather rare electronic experimentation's and synthesized sounds.

6) Irradiation - Magnetic Monopole - A combination of Breakbeat, Techno, Ambient that works out so well and amazes.

7) Inigo Kennedy - Birth - My favourite track from Inigo that takes you in obscure places.

8) MonO - Playground - Playground. Indeed a playground of a dubby journey that goe deep.

9) Lucy - All that noise - The magic behind Stroboscopic Artefacts.A wicked track that sums up the way my music goes.

10) Andrew Bayer - Movement3 - From his Distractions EP ,a combination of Progressive House, Breakbeat, Tech House, Progressive Trance which work out really well.

11) Joris Voorn - Sweets for Piano (Ripperton Remix) - Touching the right mellow spots but stays well ahead in the sound.

12) Lars Leonhard - Hydrogen Sulfide - Taken from my favourite album of Lars (a genious of a producer that always amazes) with his soundscapes.

13) Burial - Archangel - Being brought up on old jungle tunes and garage tunes ,this track says it all .Percussion patterns creating minute hesitations and slippages in the rhythm.

14) Sonitus Eco - Chordelia - Chordelia. For me this is the techno track of 2015 from a massive artist from my country.Justin's music is cut above the rest with his drone , awesome beats and dubby trips into ambient land - just close your eyes and dance.

Outro A – Fuse - Dimension Intrusion

Outro B - The Haxan Cloak - Consumed]]>

"I’m honoured to be asked to provide a selection for the Dusk Dubs project. I’ve been following it for sometime and know I’m in great selecting company. I was a little apprehensive putting forward a selection for the first time, especially after following so may great contributions. I decided to base it around tracks that meant a great deal to me from times past, rather than music I’m delving into at the moment. I truly hope you enjoy the selection as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together.

**Tracklisting**

Track 1 : Steve Reich ~ New York Counterpoint, Part One (Excerpt)

The music of Steve Reich has been a major part of my sonic landscape since a stoner teacher introduced me to his music at college. “Classical” music, performed in concert halls with dance-floor sensibilities. I was as amazed by what he could get traditional instruments and their performers to achieve as I am 30 years later and listen to his music weekly.

Track 2: Gel Sol ~ Ombai Strait

Another excerpt really, as the album deserves to be listened to as a whole. Myself and mates did just that most months after getting back from Freakin, a 17 years in the making house night that we were punters at for a years before having the pleasure of playing there for a couple of years. Conversations would inevitably turn to WTF is happening at the end of the track sonically? Answers on a postcard to Dusk Dub towers….

Track 3 : Ian O’brien ~ Where Does The Past End And The Present Begin.

Speaks for its self, just stunning musicianship and production. Enough to make you weep and chuck the controller in……! I’n not sure where or how I first got into his music, but have sought out anything by him for some time. All killer, no fller!

Track 4: Kelpe ~ Sickly Situation

When I first heard this, I’d bought it on a whim, gone to the pub, got steaming and bowled into the house to listen to it at high volume, not having heard of the artist before. What poured out of the speakers was something the like I’d not heard before. The melancholy “7-up” monologues from a woman throughout the different stages of her life that punctuate the album still get me with every listen. This is taken from his first album and since then has gone on to release a number of other albums, remix projects, and DJ mixes. His music develops and innovates which each release while retaining this unique live percussive sound.

Track 5: Oriol ~ Night And Day

This is a fav in DJ sets if I get lost as its easy to slip into any mix and immediately gets things back on track. Again, sounds like nothing else I know. Waiting patiently for more material from this outfit. The whole album is outstanding!

Track 6 : Stubborn Heart ~ Interpol.

Relatively new material for this selection. Deeply moving machine-soul, which is a fave for the ear buds while walking home from work under gunmetal skies. So much simplicity, emotion, and beautifully executed tech. would love to catch them live!

Track 7 : Andrea Parker ~ Invasions

What can I say, just stunning electro from Andrea, who I first discovered because she’d remixed Steve Reich on a very prestigious remix project. She runs an outstanding label, promoting electro talent and apparently provided one of the most innovative and engaging sets at a mates night Soxan (which I sorrowfully never got to). We need more women in electronic music to walk in the footsteps of the early female pioneers. Andrea is definitively one of them.

Track 8 : Dextro ~ Closer

I’ve loved the music of reclusive highlander musician/producer Dextro for years. There’s not loads out there, but what out put he has, speaks of where he is from which is something special in an artist. At work, we won some funding to rig out an old chapel as a performance space. It was winter; I was in control of the sound system. Everyday, when everyone disappeared for lunch, or went home, I’d play this album loud and lie in the middle of the floor enjoying the sheer space the music portrays and the space I was listening to it in. (I still do this 8 or 9 years on, when no ones about).

Track 9 : Move D ~ 77 Sunset Strip

Move D! Move D! This is taken, from as far as I know, his first and only album dating to ‘90/91? Way, way ahead of its time in my opinion. Still producing some of the best house music of today, and providing some of the best party soundtracks available across the continent. This is just one track off a desert island disc for me.

Track 10 : Craig Brately ~ Analogue Dreams.

I’ve an odd relationship with Craig. The house night I mentioned in track 2 used to run an annual excursion to a castle just south of Hadrian’s Wall for 2 days of solid raving. He was in attendance at one but it was too messy for us to cross paths! A year or so later, I was DJing in Leeds and his girlfriend was at the Bar chatting to me in between mixes. She showed me a photo of him on her phone, I said, “Aye that’s him…. Great Dj, produces some ace music”. The photo moved and I realised she was face timing him and all hilarity ensued. We’re now collaborating on a book, with others exploring mixing audio. Still yet to actually meet in the flesh though. This is the last track from his debut album and fully, for me, encapsulates the time that the previous Move D track was produced in. Proper!

Track 11 : The Pachanga Boys ~ Time.

(in my opinion) The perfect house track, in form, sound and emotion….. It’s a lengthy one coming in at 15 mins but once its over I’ll guarantee you’ll want a rewind and listen to it again. I’ll let it speak for itself. ]]>

I’ve loved the music of reclusive highlander musician/producer Dextro for years. There’s not loads out there, but what out put he has, speaks of where he is from which is something special in an artist. At work, we won some funding to rig out an old chapel as a performance space. It was winter; I was in control of the sound system. Everyday, when everyone disappeared for lunch, or went home, I’d play this album loud and lie in the middle of the floor enjoying the sheer space the music portrays and the space I was listening to it in. (I still do this 8 or 9 years on, when no ones about).

Track 9 : Move D ~ 77 Sunset Strip

Move D! Move D! This is taken, from as far as I know, his first and only album dating to ‘90/91? Way, way ahead of its time in my opinion. Still producing some of the best house music of today, and providing some of the best party soundtracks available across the continent. This is just one track off a desert island disc for me.

Track 10 : Craig Brately ~ Analogue Dreams.

I’ve an odd relationship with Craig. The house night I mentioned in track 2 used to run an annual excursion to a castle just south of Hadrian’s Wall for 2 days of solid raving. He was in attendance at one but it was too messy for us to cross paths! A year or so later, I was DJing in Leeds and his girlfriend was at the Bar chatting to me in between mixes. She showed me a photo of him on her phone, I said, “Aye that’s him…. Great Dj, produces some ace music”. The photo moved and I realised she was face timing him and all hilarity ensued. We’re now collaborating on a book, with others exploring mixing audio. Still yet to actually meet in the flesh though. This is the last track from his debut album and fully, for me, encapsulates the time that the previous Move D track was produced in. Proper!

Track 11 : The Pachanga Boys ~ Time.

(in my opinion) The perfect house track, in form, sound and emotion….. It’s a lengthy one coming in at 15 mins but once its over I’ll guarantee you’ll want a rewind and listen to it again. I’ll let it speak for itself. ]]> 824289 no no Sun, 10 Apr 2016 10:20:29 +0200 2016-04-10T10:20:29+02:00 1:09:14 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dub-explorations-002/

A few words from the man himself….

"Thanks a lot to Dusk Dubs crew for letting me put together this mixtape. When I was asked for a contribution, I really was genuinely flattered to be given the opportunity to share some tunes that are special to me. I was thinking what would be on my list this time. Then it came to my mind that when I was young I always made mixcassettes with my favourite albums.

So, this is my latest mixtape. I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

**Tracklisting**

1) Tangerine Dream- 3am at the Border of the Marsh from Okefenokee -

Everything started with this album! I was 12 when I heard this record the first time.A good friend of mine’s brother had it and he was listening to it when I was at their place. I became TD fan at that moment J This was the first TD record I owned and my personal favourite from them.

2) Seahawks-Paradise Freaks – One of my favourite album from 2014.Fantastic release of ocean-gaze from Seahawks. It’s always on my playlist!

3) Winona – Max - I was sitting with friends in a pub in Prishtina when I heard some tracks from ’Rosebud’ album. Reminded me of Massive Attack and Craig Armstrong.(and I was right!) I asked the owner for the album. I felt in love with this record. It’s so bad that they have only one album!

4) Glass Coffee – My Boo (Don’t Forget) - I was on a nice summer holiday. Relaxing in a nice afternoon and listened to a Chris Coco summer mixtape. Then this came! Loved it from the first second! Then it became on a nice ’Real Ibiza’ commpillation.

5) OSI – Kicking (Kevin Moore Remix) - This is two in one! I was listening to a lot of progressive rock album when I was young. But then I was interested about some other music styles. In the mid 2000 a friend of mine who is a huge Dream Theater fan showed me ’Free’ LP from OSI. My jaw dropped to the floor. Then I started to dig more and find out that the keyboardist of DT Kevin Moore behind this band. His other project ’Chroma Key’ is also an amazing project!!

6) Mungolian Jet Set – Ocean 0304 - I think I am one of their biggest fan J Why? Just listen to any track or remix from them! I would love to see one of their live show!

7) Ma Spaventi – Bloccato In Treno - ’Viaggi’ album is an instant favourite! Dusty Italo vibes, analog synths and written soundtracks for unwritten movies. I’ve heard this track on a nice party the first time. Had to asked the DJ what it was J Well, Italians Do It Better…

8) Almunia - L&G Psychedlic - As I told you before…This Italian band one of my all time favourite. Thanks to Claremont 56 for this release. I just adore all the tracks from their album. Never delete any Almunia track from my playlist!

9) Ma Spaventi - Un Disgustoso Amico - I have to play this one also from ’Viaggi’ album because a friend of mine who is usually listening to music shits said that: „ Finally I was able to show him a good track”. No comment.

10) Mushrooms Project – Rio Disco ’84 - If I love Almunia then I adore Mushrooms!! Every single release from them is a masterpiece! Every day I play at least one track from them. Medicine for me J

11) Pat Metheny Group – Are You Going With Me? - Back in time! I was with friends ont he way to Prague. One of them put the ’Offramp’ casettes to the car stereo. Never heard Metheny before. Mindblowing! Since that moment I started to collect his works.This one is a masterpiece!]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Mark Blood to the Dusk Dubs family...

I have a passion for music and have been 'listening' for the last 36 years. My old man played 50's rock'n'roll much of the time when I was young, interspersed with the occasional jazz track. So although I'm not into it in a big way, I know many rock'n'roll songs by heart. I got into 'heavy rock' during my teens - Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc. I was mad on Hawkwind. This inevitably resulted in me exploring more of the sounds of the 70's and late 60's - Cream, Doors, Hendrix etc. The next big phase was Tangerine Dream - their trance instrumental tracks, often 15 - 20 mins long were a big draw. From TD I slowly moved to German 'electronic' beats and then into mainstream dance and trance. Always loved the instrumentals.

I have always preferred the darker side of musical genre's. I love ambient, but dark ambient is the biz, dark, minimalist techno is brilliant, the heavy rock is often bass-driven and the darker tracks are superb. I think that's why I preferred it to 80's 'metal' - metal just did not seem to have as much balls. Drum'n'bass is a classic example - there's some great D'n'B out there but it's the hard-hitting primeval bass-crunching sound that I like. One of the great things about listening to music all the time is how as you get older your horizons broaden. I'm into far more music now than I was 5 or 10 years ago, but I always prefer the darker side...

I have a godly collection of vinyl and CD's and sine 2007 have been using my computer for music storage. I realised that with so much music (currently more than 41,000 songs on the PC), I could take the mix-tapes I used to make to the next level and began creating mix sets of my favourite tracks. Sets that use copyrighted music goes on Mixcloud, and Creative Commons licensed music and tracks that the authors have given permission for me to use go on Soundcloud and are available for download. I use tracks that I really dig, and want to share this great music with the rest of the world.

It always amazes me that there is so much music out there which is often free and which is much, much better than the commercial sounds many people are locked into. There are people I know who like what they like - nothing wrong with that, but they don't listen to anything else. You gotta explore the sounds from all angles, and not be afraid of artists who push the boundaries. Doing so will lead to better things.I'm into many, many other artists and styles of music. I could fill many DuskDubs shows with my top rated tracks. It was tough choosing the following - and if I don't say Stop! I could go on tweaking it for a long time :D

This list comprises a selection of tracks which have stood out for me at different times.

**Tracklisting:**

And this is the revised order:

1) Black Sabbath - Megalomania
2) Hawkwind - Damnation Alley
3) The Undertones - My Perfect Cousin
4) Eumir Deodato's - Also Sprach Zarathustra
5) Cocteau Twins - When Mama Was Moth
6) Art Of Noise - Beat Box
7) Primal Scream - Don't Fight It, Feel It
8) Dave Clarke - Wisdom To The Wise
9) Aural Float - Life In Dub
10) Spor - Aztec

1) Black Sabbath : Megalomania from SabotageThe first time I heard the main riff kick in at 3:25 I was transported to air guitar heaven. This is HUGE. Whatta track :)

2) Hawkwind : Damnation Alley from Quark, Strangeness and CharmChoosing a Hawkwind track is tough as they have made so many great tunes. The first albums I listened to were the eponymous album and Space Ritual, Doremi Faso Latido etc., and they contain awesome tunes. Damnation Alley, though, is a corker. The entire album it is taken from is a joy to listen to but this track stands out.

3) The Undertones : My Perfect Cousin from Hypnotised. During my early 20's I worked with a couple who were mad about 2-tone and 80's pop in general. This is one of many that stand out. I remember dancing to this at several parties :)

4) An absolute favourite of mine is Eumir Deodato's treatment of Also Sprach Zarathustra from Prelude. Holy Moly - such a great piece of music! Guaranteed to get the head nodding and the shoulders rolling ;) I first heard this when watching Being There. It's played when the protagonist, Chance, leaves the Old Man's house for the first time and is exploring the city with a child's delight. The music and the footage work so well together.

5) Cocteau Twins - When Mama Was Moth. I have never been a fan of vocals (especially 'overly emotional' vocals) in music. The Cocteau Twins' implementation of Elizabeth Frazer's voice as an 'instrument' is mind-blowing. This was the first CT track I heard and I was transfixed. Sugar Hiccup etc., served to cement a devotion to the CT's music that was to last for many years and which continues to this day. I often reach forward to turn the volume UP when a CT track is on.

6) Art Of Noise : Beat Box (Diversion One) from (Who's Afraid Of) The Art Of Noise I was completely taken in by Close (To The Edit), first heard when listening to Radio Caroline. When I eventually bought the album, this track really stuck with me. The Art Of Noise made me reassess my musical view. They broadened my horizons.

7) Primal Scream : Don't Fight It, Feel It from Screamadelica. This track is one of the best up-beat tracks that Primal Scream made. Always puts a smile on my face. I like the energy that's there from beginning to end.

8) Dave Clarke : Wisdom To The Wise from Archive On. First heard WTTW on Leftfield's first Essential Mix for Radio One. Blew me away. When I finally heard Archive One, Southside did the same. It's the relentless bass line that grabs me and gets my head nodding and my legs moving :) Dave Clarke introduced me to the world of Techno.

9) Aural Float : Life In Dub from Moving Images. The album version's probably a bit long for the DuskDubs show (but there's a shorter version on the 'Light Aromas' compilation). I had my first introduction to dub in my early 20's when a friend played some Mad Professor. Never stopped loving it. The album version of this track is the biz. The 7 minute build-up before the bass kicks in is epic and totally sets you up for that deep, deep sound that wraps itself around you and carries you away.

10) Spor : Aztec from Aztec/Do Not Shake. Classic energy-driven D'n'B. Love the pace and the happy vibe :)]]>

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back both General Camel and Bartisimmo for a very special joint volume. We asked these previous selectors to give us a volume that both represents and is a tribute to their journey through the early 90's...

"As selectors we've both appeared individually with our own mixtapes in previous years of the series, so when we were asked to compile something collectively and then given the 'Brief' of what the guys wanted, we jumped at the chance !

So for this mixtape we didn't have to dig in the crates too deep, we didn't have to go looking for that lost dubplate or that hidden Dusk Dubs gem....All we had to do was select a bunch of records that took us straight back to an era, a time when as teenagers all we wanted to do was to get "Loaded and have a good time" A time where we were being influenced by so many wicked artists and sounds from the early 90's...

So sit back, crack open a beer and "Call The Cops"

**Tracklisting**

1) Primal Scream - Loaded
2) Happy Mondays - Loose Fit
3) Stone Roses - One Love
4) Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart (A Mix Of Two Halves)
5) Leftfield - Original
6) Stereo MC's - Step It Up (Stereo Field Dub)
7) Dee Patten - Who's The Badman
8) 2 Bad Mice - Bombscare (Original Version)
9) Landlord - I Like It "Featuring Dex Danclair" (Blow Out Dub)
10) LFO - LFO (Leeds Warehouse Mix)
11) Coco Steel and Lovebomb - Feel It
12) Jay Dee - Plastic Dreams (Original Mix)

This week we have a very special volume for you - our annual celebration of the Oscars, and this year Wilson has been digging in his vinyl vaults, searching his CD Racks and compiling a collection of his favourite scores and film soundtrack moments.

"So with the Academy Awards upon it us, it has been an honour and privilege to put this OST mixtape together. Last years one was a real standout for me so to have to step up and match what has gone before was quite daunting. There are so many sounds and feeling that movie soundtracks can conjure, filmmakers are often creative with how they let sounds do the talking, when the sounds say more than the words ever can. You can hear a piece of music and it can transport you to that moment in time when you first saw whichever film it was in. I love that.

A lot of the songs in this volume are representative of what I have just mentioned. For example Roy Orbison’s in dreams will forever scream Blue Velvet to me, no matter where I hear it and even if I haven’t seen the film for years, it still takes me back to the first time i watched it.

I'm not going to go into detail about each track, i'll let the music do the talking, so to speak. I hope you enjoy this ride through some of my favourite pieces of cinematic sound".

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome David Bailey into the Dusk Dubs family...

"It was a real privilege to be asked by Dusk Dubs to do the mix. I wanted to create a mix of different styles of music that I enjoy and hopefully play some tunes people may have not have heard as well as some lesser known classics."

**Tracklisting**

1. Synkro - Last night. Synkro is one of my favourite producer. He has taken the ambient sound and mixed it with D&B and down tempo music. Plus he has a great ear for vocals. Lovely track.

2. 10cc - I'm not in love. his is a song from my childhood, listening to my Dad's LP's. I love the dreamy quality, it has a melancholy atmosphere and still works as a pop song.

3. J Dilla - Time: The Donut Of The Heart. This is such a soulful funky track that reminds of why I love hip hop.

4. Grand Puba - A Little Of This. I remember hearing this on Yo MTV Raps. Grand Puba has a great voice and the production on the track is ridiculously laid back and jazzy. It's summer time BBQ music.

5. The Pharcyde - Moment in time. The Pharcyde where the antithesis of gangsta rap. Their lyrics showed a vulnerability and everyman storytelling that I could relate to. Real soulful lesser known track of theirs.

6. Dimitri From Paris - Encore. I discovered Dimitri by accident back in 95 after a trip to Amsterdam. The guy knows his music histroy and some of the hip hop outtakes on his first album are excellent. This bridges the mix to the more uptempo selection.

7. Marc Carey - Inside Yourself (You'll Find Love)Marc Carey seems to have gone largely unrecognised by the mainstream. His Rhodes Ahead LP is one of the best Jazz electronica fusion albums ever made. He effortlessly merges genres in a way that shows a real understanding and love of the music. This is a jazz house track which is pure class.

8. Global Communications - The Way (Secret Ingredients Mix). This track is one of those that it is impossible to sit still to. Garagey vocals and beat with the depth you would expect from GC.

9. Jazzanova - That Night (Wahoo Remix). When I heard this for the first I was literally dancing around the room. Making soulful house that isn't naff can be quite tough, this track is a real gem. The bass line is pure funk.

10. Photek & Robert Owens - Mine To Give. Solaris was my favourite Photek Album. Crossing genres. This tune reminds me of the acid house which first got me into dance music. It brings a smile to my face when I hear the chorus, the gospel infused tone of Robert Owens are spiritual.

11. Omni Trio - First Contact. Omni Trio were there from day one of the jungle scene. This is taken from their last LP, with a hint of the detroit and acid sounds mixed with minimalist breakbeats and a soundtrack approach to arrangement. Uplifting and life affirming music.

12. Blocks & Escher - Embers. These guys are 2 of the best producers in D&B at the moment. They have the cinematic style which really drew me to the music in the first place. This track takes you on a journey, buckle up.

13. Alaska & Seba - Back To Eternity. A great combination and 2 amazing producers outright. A very euphoric track, uplifting hands in the air music stuff, this is the point where you hug a stranger in the rave!

14. Heartdrive - Empathy Reboot. D Bridge & Kid Drama saved D&B for me. At a time when things where getting very formulaic and faster they slowed it down and when off piste with an experimental approach to the music. This is an emotional track that owes a debt to 80's soundtrack and Vangellis.

15. Beastie Respond - Wait For Me. A half time D&B love ballad need I say. Anyone who has been in a long distance relationship can relate to this one.]]>

"Obviously it’s an absolute pleasure to be invited back to put together another mix for Dusk Dubs, thanks for having me along :)

Like the 1st edition I put together for DD, I’ve tried to put together another collection of sunset tunes for you, ideally served with a cold beverage of your choice. A few notes about the tunes I picked out follow (btw, there is some profanity in this mix, might not be child friendly depending on your POV)."

**Tracklisting**

1) Lou Donaldson - One Cylinder
2) Kankick - Yes Yes Suite 3
3) Frank n Dank - Clap Hands
4) Erykah Badu - Back In the Day
5) Rachel Sweet - It's So Different Here
6) Richard Earnshaw - Rise (ft Ursula Rucker and Roy Ayers)
7) Jazz Liberatorz - Ease My Mind
8) INI - Grown Man Sport
9) Eric Lau - The Mission (Georgia Anne Muldrow remix)
10) Steve Arrington and Dam Funk - I Be Goin Hard
11) Spacek - Motion Control
12) Sepalcure track - Fight For Us
13) Kelela - All the Way Down
14) Thundercat - Them Changes
15) Outkast - SpottieOttieDopaliscious
16) Edan - Making Planets
17) Dr John - Zu Zu Mamou
18) Sa Ra - Love Czars

1) Lou Donaldson - One Cylinder - An apertif from Lou, it goes without saying that I love this tune and have loved it for a long time. The keys that underpin this tune make it for me. From one of my favourite LPs on Blue Note, “Alligator Bogaloo”

2) Kankick - Yes Yes Suite 3 - From the city of Oxnard, California - also home to Madlib, Oh No and Dudley Perkins, this is a sweet piece piece of laid back hip hop with a b line to rattle the ribcage.

3) Frank n Dank - Clap Hands - Best known for their collabs with J Dilla (they guested on “Welcome To Detroit) Frank n Dank are top dollar producers in their own right. Picked this up when it came out in 2007, why it doesn’t get more love is beyond me. Goes for pennies on discogs, seek out!

4) Erykah Badu - Back In the Day - Classic Erykah from her “Worldwide Undergound” LP. I don’t really need to say more.

5) Rachel Sweet - It's So Different Here - Released in 1978 and sounds so fresh. Rachel was 16 years old when she recorded this, an amazing vocal for someone so young.

6) Richard Earnshaw - Rise (ft Ursula Rucker and Roy Ayers) - I only became aware of this when putting together a mix for a mates wedding last year. More laid back class, you throw Roy Ayers in to the mix and it’s always going to come up good :)

7) Jazz Liberatorz - Ease My Mind - I absolutely love the 2 Jazz Liberatorz LPs (despite the “z”) - some of the finest jazz infused hip hop you will ever hear, with some of the best guest appearances (Fat Lip! Stacy Epps! Tableek! J-Live! Aloe Blacc! Most Def! to name but a few…). I’ll bore people to deaf about how good they are. This is one of there finest tracks, featuring Fat Lip on vocals.

8) INI - Grown Man Sport - From the classic Pete Rock produced “Centre Of Attention” LP. Best track on the album, the perfect piano loop.

9) Eric Lau - The Mission (Georgia Anne Muldrow remix) - I’m a huge Eric Lau fan, and this GAM remix adds a bit of bass filth to what was already a great track.

10) Steve Arrington and Dam Funk - I Be Goin Hard - Took me a while to get my head around this (so please persevere!) - I find some of Dam Funk’s tracks reference the 80s so well but forget about the tune, no danger of that here though. Steve Arrington’s vocal is so fine on this.

11) Spacek - Motion Control - Classic tune off Spacek’s “Vintage Hi-Tech” LP - an album that was soooo far ahead of its time. Minimal but beautiful production.

12) Sepalcure track - Fight For Us / 13) Kelela - All the Way Down / 14) Thundercat - Them Changes - I’m grouping these 3 together on the basis that they are all relatively new (the Kelela track in particular). I don’t normally like to put new tunes on mixes, as for me, it takes time to understand wether something really is as good as it sounds on the 1st few listens - and I don’t want to subject you to mediocrity :D All 3 of these will stand the test of time IMO. The Sepalcure and Kelela tracks are beautiful pieces of future soul, and as for “Them Changes” - I wanted to get this in before anyone else did on future Dusk Dubs… it’s an instant classic for years to come IMO.

15) Outkast - SpottieOttieDopaliscious - And talking of classics for years to come… the best Outkast tune, and my daughters current favourite - this one is for Juno :) HORNS.

16) Edan - Making Planets - Of the LP Beauty and The Beat from 2005 (11 years ago, really???!) I remember being blown away by this track the 1st time I heard it, has a wonderful psychedelic feel to it, matched by the lyrics. Goes a bit bonkers at the end… and I love it all the more for doing so. I’m still debating wether I should have followed it with 3rd Stone From The Sun by Hendrix but in the end I plumped for…

17) Dr John - Zu Zu Mamou - Walked in to a record fair in Ore (near Hastings where I currently live) and this was playing on the PA. I was hooked… it’s totally tripped out, wonderful backing vocals, and those drums… omg. Purchased immediately. Off the LP “The Sun, Moon and Herbs”. The herbs aren’t specified, but I’m guessing oregano.

18) Sa Ra - Love Czars - From the excellent LP “Nuclear Evolution: The Age Of Love” this is another slightly psychedelic trip courtesy of Sa Ra, and hopefully the perfect end to this mix. Hope you enjoyed the ride x]]>

"Music's always been an important part of my life, even before I started DJ'ing and spending what I had on vinyl. Growing up I had different influences all around me, from my parents, to my older brother, friends and what sounds were being pushed at the time.

My selection is exactly that and these are some of the tunes and vibes that have influenced me over the years and made me, musically.

I've always loved my breaks, this is that and everything in between, because at the end of the day I've always had an eclectic edge.

So sit back and enjoy, this is me... PEACE!"

"Ah, I have been asked again to provide another selection for this wonderful project and, needless to say, I have seized the moment and jumped on it. This however doesn’t really mean that it was a rushed up job or even an easy one, it took me months to work out which direction to take and in the end, as usual, every little effort and planning (very little I may say) made sense and it did coagulate in another long and very personal journey.

You might like it, you might find interesting or you might not, it was epic for me. Music is a very personal thing and speaks volumes about a vast emotional territory of feelings that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to express.

Music is indeed the ultimate universal language, if you ask me.

This selection goes out to those who are able to listen and to feel…"

**Tracklisting**

1) Jonny Nash - Retreat

Rising star ambient musician/composer, Jonny Nash is indeed a very talented one. Relatively new to me, his music resonates of the grandeur of the greatest ambient/progrock composers of the 70s and 80s. Retreat is moving and equally deep, without resurrecting the usual clichés of what we brutally call “elevator music”.

2) Jose Manuel - Summer Wind (Jonny Nash Remix)

Another beautiful piece of music, remixed by the already mentioned Jonny. Soundtrack of my last summer, it has very rarely left my bag. Wonderful and spiritual (the money shot is the vocals here)

3) Ivano Fossati & Oscar Prudente - Gil (Voglia di terra)

Obscure Italian balearic gem, unearthed for us common humans by that genius called Leo Mas for his recent project on Kenneth Badger’s label: Music For Dreams. The flute that pinpoints the melody is something to die for.

4) Bautista - Chanson A’ Denise

Founder member of Earth Wind and Fire, Bautista here flies solo and he doesn’t disappoint. Chanson a’ Denise (Song for Denise) is a gorgeous jazzy downtempo number off the self-titled LP (Bautista). This and “Gone” are worth alone the price of the entire LP. Check and buy it on sight.

5) Azymuth - Last Summer In Rio

Masters at work. No, not Kenny Dope and Louis Vega but Azymuth. The legendary jazz funk, jazz, soul, disco (you name it) Brazilian group who needs really no introduction. Last summer in Rio (off their LP Telecommunication) is another sleazy , groovy and hypnotic piece of music that I have discovered only recently (thanks Phil). Anything by Azymuth is worth listening, buying and adoring, in my book.

6) Dopegems - Travelling Man

7” goodness from the French label Heavenly Sweetness (responsible for putting out some amazing compilations too). Jazz but not your standard and abstract (dare I say boring) one. Soulful. The one I like.

7) Cymande - Dove

Now, this is possibly one the greatest jazz fusion composition of all time. Cymande are labeled as a funk band, with a strong Caribbean identity (all its members were born in the Caribbeans but moved in the early 60s to England). This song (10 mins of absolute beauty) is something else and it takes you into a psychedelic journey back to the hippy’s era (bring back the 70s please).

8) Mads Dalholt & Frederik Langkilde - Charite’

Another Balearic gem coming courtesy of Danish Balearic maestro Kenneth Badger’s label: Music for Dreams. Spanish guitar, deep percussions. Echoes of sunsets by the Mediterranean Sea.

9) Jacob Gurevitsch - Mexican Margarita (Original Album Mix)

A beautiful and melancholic flamenco that makes you want to wear flip flops and sip sangria by the sea. Another simple and very moving piece of music.

10) Matthew Hallsall & The Gondwana Orchestra - Blue Nile

Alice Coltrane’s cover, that I actually prefer to the original. There I said it. Smokey and and dreamy harmonies, delivered by jazz maestro Matthew Halsall. If Kruder and Dorfmeister made jazz, it would have sounded like this probably but we will possibly never know.

11) Odyssey - Our Lives Are Shaped By What We Love

Heart wrenching, tear jerker, moving piece of wonderful soul. Motown is the label. No surprise there really. Thanks Ian, you know why.

12) Jean Carne - Don’t Let It Go To Your Head

A stone cold classic and iconic tune from the relatively short lived but equally incredibly prolific label: Philadelphia International Recordings.

The soulful sound of Phila that never fails to make me choke up. Yes, one of those records.

13) Brother Resistance - Wars In Space Dub

Another record new to me. These guys are from Trinidad and Tobago but their production on this chugging little disco number could be easily mistaken for a Sly and Robbie one.Very tasty and very dubby too.

Mike Francis & Sade - Nothing Can Come Between Us (Special Version)

Previously unreleased on 12”, now available courtesy of the downtempo/Balearic duo Blank and Jones. Mike Francis and Sade collaborating? Don’t mind if I do and I did (without even listening). I wasn’t wrong, it’s wonderful.

14) 2 Raumwohnung - Ich Weiss Warum (Stepping Razor Edit)

A soulful piece of dub, very deep, very hypnotic and very good too. Off the compilation entitled “World Dub Pastry vol.1” (Vol. 2 is sadly not a patch of the first one but that’s my personal opinion of course), that came out few years back, showcasing a very solid array of wonderful and dubby sounds. Highly recommended.

15) Land Of Light - Flares

Another masterpiece. You need to listen to it to soak up the huge amount of beauty and vibes that this piece of music evokes. If you don’t like it, you have no soul and/or functioning ears. It’s as simple as that.

21) The Prodigy - Everybody Is In The Place
22) Praga Kahn - Injected With A Poison

1) Eminem - Kill You

The first song off my favourite album off all time, it was too hard to pick a favourite tune off the album so i went with the first one as it set the standard for such an amazing album. “Serial killer hiding murder material in a cereal box on top of your stereo”………. need i say any more.

2) Ludacris - Growing Pains

Luda is hugely underrated as a rapper and is one of my favourites without a doubt. Word of mouf was his best album in my opinion and this tune was an absolute classic, appealed to rap and non rap fans alike. The skit before the song is pure genius!

3) Snoop Dogg - Lodi Dodi

Doggystyle was a truly iconic album of the 90s hip hop era, easily another 4/5 songs off the album that could of made this list but i decided to narrow it down to just one. the casual, story tale delivery from snoop just makes the lyrics so infectious, impossible not sing along.

4) DMX - Damien (its dark and hell is hot)

DMX was another massively under appreciated rapper who made some ridiculously good songs, this one being my favourite tune ever by D. Everybody loves a song that tells a story, this one is about the Devil tricking him into becoming allies, unaware of the consequences that will follow his actions.

5) Mobb Deep - Shook Ones pt 2

It wasn’t until i saw the film “8 Mile” that i even knew this track existed, researched the beat from Eminem’s final freestyle and stumbled across an absolute cult classic. If you know hip hop then you know this track!

6) Mobb Deep - Got it Twisted

This is my favourite Mobb Deep track, rarely spoke of by anyone but its hard as fuck! The beat is crazy, actually samples an old tune from 1982 by Thomas Dolby called “she blinded me with science”

7) Method Man Redman - Da Rockwilder

Meth and Red were the dynamic duo, made loads of sick music together this one being the standout track on their joint album “Blackout”. Add to that one of the funniest films i’ve ever seen in “How High”, a film that still has cries for a 2nd instalment almost 15 years later! Maybe some day…..

8) Dr Dre - Fuck You

Yet another album with so many amazing tunes, it was impossibly hard to pick just this one tune, xxxplosive, still DRE, next episode, the list goes on….a true masterpiece of an album! The beat is the main reason i picked this track, impossible not to nod your head to the G funk that Dre lays down!

9) Jay Z - Big Pimpin’

If you don’t know this one, then please introduce me to the rock you’ve hid under since ’99 , i wouldn’t mind a trip there when i need some time to relax! Absolute anthem, guaranteed party starter.

10) D12 - Shit on You

D12 were overshadowed by Eminem’s colossal solo career, but they made some sick music! This a typical example of the raw music they delivered (although they learnt to take themselves a bit less serious in later years and make some fun music that would appeal to the masses) . This one was off the Westwood 2 compilation released back in 2001, If you don’t know about that then go check out the track list and thank me later.

11) Big L - Lifestylez ov da Poor and Dangerous

The title track off an album jam packed with pure fire! Honourable mentions to “8 iz enuff" and "Put it on", both nearly made the list”. Standout lyric on this track has to be “Breakin' in cribs with a crow bar, i wasn’t poor, i was po, i couldn’t afford the OR”. Ridicuous! Someone who was taken well before his time, one of the best to ever do it.

12) Wu tang clan - Protect Ya Neck

The baddest crew in hip hop. Every member is a don in their own respect, always coming with those super catchy rhymes that stick in your head for weeks! Try and pick a favourite verse off this track, i’ve been trying for about 15 years and still not managed it!

13) Biggie Smalls - Kick in the Door

The skit at the beginning of this one with “The Mad rapper”is nothing short of comedy gold, has me in stitches every time! it was a toss up between this one and “Dead Wrong” ft Eminem, this one edged it marginally. Biggie firing shots at Raekwon and Ghostface Killah of Wu Tang Clan on this one, also a few digs towards Nas. Biggie’s flow was unmatched by almost everyone in the rap game, another artist taken from us in the peak of their careers.

14) TQ - Westside

The 90s and early 2000’s era wasn’t just the golden era for rap music, it was for RNB as well! Gonna dedicate this one to my pops, reminiscent of driving home in the car withthis on full blast singing all the lyrics! Got to give it up for the westside……

15) Outkast - So Fresh So Clean

Outkast exploded onto the scene with their 2000 album “Stankonia” . They have made some sick music over the years and always merged the line between hip hop/rap and RNB to perfection. Hugely underrated album in my opinion, plus Andre 3000 has got to be one of the coolest guys in existence.

16) Blur - Parklife

Another title tune off an album that was a huge part of my younger life, had this one on tape and it didn’t leave the stereo for a long long time. One of my ultimate feel good tunes.

17) Oasis - Whats the Story? (Morning Glory)

If i had to pick a favourite Oasis track ever (which I’m sure you can appreciate the difficulty of with me being a Mancunian) , this would probably be it. If anyone made songs that were perfect for singing/shouting with your friends pissed up at 7 in the morning at an after party, it was Oasis. That intro though….

18) Haddaway - What is Love?

If you grew up in the 90’s, chances are there are at least a few classic dance tracks that you love! in my case its way more than a few. This one and the next tune on the mixtape are probably the 2 first ones that i can remember listening to, if not then certainly the 2 that got me into 90’s dance music!

19) N trance - Set You Free

Probably the pinnacle of 90’s dance music, the song that everyone knows but everyone still loves! Another huge feel good tune.

20) 2funky2 - Brothers And Sisters

Didn’t discover this one until much later on, somewhere around ’03/’04. That being said its definitely one of my favourite 90’s dance tunes ever. Got to show love to my cousin for introducing me to this one whilst we were on holiday one year, at a time when i was obsessed with dance music and somehow hadn’t heard it before!

21) The Prodigy - Everybody Is In The Place

The Prodigy are truly a one off, nobody has ever done it like them! My mum was a huge fan so i was introduced to them at a very early age, The fat of the land was an Iconic album! So many tracks by them that i could of chose for this mixtape, I decided to choose this one as it has much more of a 90’s warehouse rave kind of feel to it, which is what i spent my whole childhood wishing i was old enough to attend!

22) Praga Kahn - Injected With A Poison

The final track of the mixtape, decided to go out with a bang! Loved this song form the moment i heard it. Another late discovery during my high school years, weekends were pretty much a show and tell between me and my mates, all sending dance tracks to each others phones and jumping about to them whilst waiting for some kind soul to go in the shop and get us some alcohol! Hope you guys have enjoyed my selections……until next time, peace.]]>

This one and the next tune on the mixtape are probably the 2 first ones that i can remember listening to, if not then certainly the 2 that got me into 90’s dance music!

19) N trance - Set You Free

Probably the pinnacle of 90’s dance music, the song that everyone knows but everyone still loves! Another huge feel good tune.

20) 2funky2 - Brothers And Sisters

Didn’t discover this one until much later on, somewhere around ’03/’04. That being said its definitely one of my favourite 90’s dance tunes ever. Got to show love to my cousin for introducing me to this one whilst we were on holiday one year, at a time when i was obsessed with dance music and somehow hadn’t heard it before!

21) The Prodigy - Everybody Is In The Place

The Prodigy are truly a one off, nobody has ever done it like them! My mum was a huge fan so i was introduced to them at a very early age, The fat of the land was an Iconic album! So many tracks by them that i could of chose for this mixtape, I decided to choose this one as it has much more of a 90’s warehouse rave kind of feel to it, which is what i spent my whole childhood wishing i was old enough to attend!

22) Praga Kahn - Injected With A Poison

The final track of the mixtape, decided to go out with a bang! Loved this song form the moment i heard it. Another late discovery during my high school years, weekends were pretty much a show and tell between me and my mates, all sending dance tracks to each others phones and jumping about to them whilst waiting for some kind soul to go in the shop and get us some alcohol! Hope you guys have enjoyed my selections……until next time, peace.]]> 670548 no no Sun, 24 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0100 2016-01-24T00:00:00+01:00 1:33:24 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0310-dusk-dubs-mat-hoods/

Pascal Schäfer - Far Away Places > Can't tell you too much this one other than it has a lovely loop, soothing ocean sounds and a seductive sample running through it. Sets the tone nicely…

Madala Kunene - Khono Thwele > A proper joyous African jam. Loose percussion, tempo shifts and all round good vibes, hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Pat Metheny - Sueño Con Mexico > This was introduced to me recently by a beautiful woman in my life, turns out I owned the track on a Café Del Mar album that I bought years ago but never really listened to it properly. Synchronicity at its best…

Ballistic Brothers - Marching On (Masters At Work "Trippin EFX Mix") > Masters At Work laying down ambient vibes on their remix of the Ballistic Brothers tune from 1998. You think they do beats good, check what they can do without them…

Chaser - Blue Planet (Abacus Blue Planetaria Mix) > I first heard this remix on the Om Lounge series from the early 2000’s. It really reminds me of living by the sea in Cornwall, mainly cos that’s where I bought it and played it out lots at gigs when I was there…

Chari Chari - Udu Spiral Monkey Dance (Le Groupe À Monique Mix) > Back to 1999 for this Frederic Galliano remix of Chari Chari in a French, African Japanese cross over. Total winner!

Block 16 - Find An Oasis (String Reprise) > This is the beautiful String Reprise of Find An Oasis taken form the 2001 album, Morning Sun. The track features Jhelisa on vocals.

Getachew Kassa - Tezeta (Slow version) > Back to Ethiopia in 1972 for this one… I heard this on one of the Ethiopiques albums. Went for the slow version since we all about chill out here. Check the fast version too if you can!

Limbo Experience – Illusion > A track from 2000 on the awesome Yellow Productions label from France. This is the original mix produced by Julien Jabre. Check that piano.

Kaoru Inoue Presents Chari Chari – Aurora > Japanese Deep House from 2002. Love this track!

Seigen Ono – Julia > And to finish a beautiful production by Seigen Ono. Those strings are something else!]]>

"I’ve always collected records of field recordings. They are beautiful things, often commissioned by university anthropological departments, sometimes coming with booklets describing the studies during which the recordings were made, sometimes with pictures or photographs of the musicians and instruments recorded. As a drummer it’s always been fascinating to me to trace the roots of a lot of the music that has influenced me more directly, as a beat-maker it’s a great source of sampling and inspiration too. The beauty of these recordings is not always in their recording quality, (many of these were made in the 60s, when such persuits were more fashionable, and on location without the most ideal equipment, and some of these records are in less than perfect condition, all of which I’m sure you’ll find is evidenced by the hums and crackles!) but in the raw honesty and authenticity that is inherent.

Listening to these recordings for me is a great way to ‘cleanse the ears’ after hearing so much recorded music which is operating with so many other agendas.

I hope you enjoy!"

"Thanks for inviting me to do a mixtape for Dusk Dubs. I have a huge record collection and love many styles of music, so the concept is right up my street.

It is quite a deep emotional selection. I have always loved music that really touches you in one way or another.

I hope you enjoy the journey..."

**Tracklisting**

1) Graham Collier - Lullaby for a lonely child : First up I have to thank Matt Gourvish for introducing me to this track. This is the type of Jazz I love, so warm with soft beautiful Horn Harmonies and that sax solo....!

2) Heatwave - Star of the story : Such a beautiful track. Amazing Bassline, Strings and layed soft vocals. It has a really warm feel to it.

3) David Matthews - Sandworm - This is one of those records where every note is played to perfection! The players are completely locked in the groove. The track has three amazing basslines with outstanding sliding bridges. The main bassline is rhythmically very clever and unusual. I never tire of this track.

4) Billy Cobham - Heather : When asked to pick records that are personal to me this one immediately jumped into my head. I have always loved this track. Last year, my son was born and I made a mixtape for my partner to listen to during labor (you can`t get more personal than that!) this was the first track on there. It is a beautiful piece of music that makes you drift away.

5) Souls of Mischief - 93 Til` Infinity : This record samples the previous track. 93 Til` Inifinity perfectly captures an era in hip hop but is also timeless. The title and concept of capturing an era yet standing the test of time inspired me to write the track `89 Til` Infinity` released last year on Tempo Records.

6) Blackstar - Respiration : This to me is a perfect Hip Hop track. The music is deep and thought provoking and perfectly fits the rhymes and concept. As well as Mos Def and Talib Kweli, it also features Common. All three MC`s were on the top of their game. Respiration is full of references and metaphors that you might not catch the first time round. I love tracks like this as they reward you by unveiling more and more with each listen.

7) Taylor McFerrin - Done For - I first heard this track on his soundcloud a year or so before the album. It`s one of the tracks that hasnt got many elements, but the melodies work so well together that you could listen to it on loop. If you havnt already, I recommend checking out his album.

8) The Future Sound Of London - Max : FSOL have produced some amazing tracks under so many aliases. I especially love their early material on Jumpin` and Pumpin.` I wanted to include one of their many tracks and felt that `Max` captures the deep, warm beautiful side of FSOL. One thing I love about the group is that they create such unique sounds (no presets here!) and use them with both electronic textures and organic atmospherics.

9) Gil Scott Heron - Pieces of a Man: I have always been a fan of GSH. I was lucky enough to see him at Somerset House before he sadly died. Pieces of a man is an understated but powerful track. Beautifully sad, Lyrically amazing and sonicly warm. The word legend is over used, in Gil Scott Heron`s case it could not be more apt.

10) Innerzone Orchestra - People Make The World Go Round : Carl Craig has made some increadible music over the years. For me, this version of the Stylistics classic is one of his stand out moments. I love the rhodes that comes in half way through and takes it to another level.

11) DJ Trax - Soul Travelling - I thought I would include one track from myself that fits in with the Dusk Dub concept. Soul Travelling was released last year and features Becki Biggins on Saxophone. I have worked with Becki on a number of projects. As well as an amazing player and writer she is a great jazz vocalists (I recommend checking her out! www.beckibiggins.com) The track is laid back and has positive summer vibe to it. I plan on writing a new down tempo album in this vain next year. The image used for this mixtape is the original artwork for this release. It was created by my girlfriend as part of her Rush Hour series. Check her work out at www.theredtreecompany.co.uk]]>

"Thank you once again for letting me make a few selections for this year’s DuskDubs, the ever evolving and growing connection of people & music.

The most difficult part for me is narrowing it down from all the tunes you want to have included your head & heart want it all to be presented. So I just give a bagful of tunes to DuskDubs HQ and it comes out golden.

I’ve selected, in my opinion, some truly fantastic tunes, a few by some of our selectors themselves who have produced some outstanding music that still sound as fresh as the day they were released. (You know who you are).

Considering this will probably be aired in the winter, grab the drink of your choice, sit back and let the music warm you up.

The cover is a nod to our resident DJ, Asphalt Layer, enjoy!"

The most difficult part for me is narrowing it down from all the tunes you want to have included your head & heart want it all to be presented. So I just give a bagful of tunes to DuskDubs HQ and it comes out golden.

I’ve selected, in my opinion, some truly fantastic tunes, a few by some of our selectors themselves who have produced some outstanding music that still sound as fresh as the day they were released. (You know who you are).

Considering this will probably be aired in the winter, grab the drink of your choice, sit back and let the music warm you up.

The cover is a nod to our resident DJ, Asphalt Layer, enjoy!"

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Depoeism...

"Here are a few tracks I've put together that are both from old and new artists. An eclectic mix with a #DuskDubs twist.

These tracks, for me, make me feel happy, sometimes even on the verge of tears. Getting caught up in the moment, reminiscing of when I first heard the track and the people I was with. I hope you too, will connect with at least one of these tracks and understand why I chose them.

Enjoy and ya chests....

This week we welcome Mixamorphosis to the Dusk Dubs family...

"I’ve been a DuskDubs lurker, for some time now. So, when I was asked for a contribution, I really was genuinely flattered to be given the opportunity to share some tunes that are special to me.

The selection process I’ve gone for in putting my selection together is as basic as picking a selection of tracks that have a real personal meaning and significance to me. I started by going through my collection and picking out ‘possible’ tracks. This initial whittling down process left me with around 5 hours of music. What I’ve ended up with is a small selection that represents music that will always live with me.

I hope you enjoy the selection." [[ Mixamorphosis ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Moonlight In Vermont

This track comes from an LP that I often go to when I want to unwind. Timeless, beautiful music from an era when talent mattered more than PR and fashion. As much as I do love the original versions from Margaret Whiting, this version from Ella and Louis brings a different character to the track which for me, really brings it to life.

2) Bill Withers - Hope She’ll Be Happier With Him

I’m a massive Bill Withers fan and could have selected any number of his tracks for this Dusk Dubs selection. The reason I went with this particular track is that I really enjoy the lyrics, the emotion and his performance; it’s something that I just really feel. For a visual aspect of where I’m coming from, watch the Soul Power documentary which features a live performance of this track.

3) B.J. Smith - We Can Sail

I wanted to include at least a couple of my recent vinyl purchases and it was a tough choice because there has been so much great music released this year. I went for this B.J. Smith track from the excellent NuNorthernSoul label which has been releasing consistently good music since 2012 and I feel like it’s under most peoples radar. The record this track comes from features a cracking Jonny Nash remix too.

4) Nina Simone - Do I Move You?

I couldn’t not include a Nina Simone track in this selection. I really love her music, her voice and her story. You can really feel the difference when the music and singing from an artist is from the heart, and this is something that runs through Nina Simone’s work. If you haven’t caught the documentary ‘What Happened, Miss Simone?’, I’d thoroughly recommend you check it out.

5) James Brown - King Heroin

Poetic and sadly as true today as it was 43 years ago when it was released. This was the first track from James Brown that I really sat up and paid attention to. I knew of his music of course. Everyone knows his classics, but this was different, and it really started me off on a mission to dig through his catalogue and led me onto a lot of the other artists that he shared a platform with over his long career.

6) Nick Drake - Saturday Sun

My first exposure to Nick Drake came via a random cheap compilation around 15 years ago. The track on that compilation was ‘River Man’ which I fell in love with and lead me onto the purchase of ‘Five Leaves Left’. This is my favourite track from that timeless album.

7) Harry Nilsson - Everybody’s Talking

“Everybody’s talking at me, I don’t hear a word they’re saying, only the echoes of my mind”. A sentiment I’m sure everybody can identify with one way or another. Nilsson was another of the artists in this list that has such a great catalogue of music I would have been happy to include virtually anything. Aside from this track resonating with me, it gives me a chance to plug the movie Midnight Cowboy in which this track is famously featured. If you haven’t seen the movie, give it a watch, it’s a great story.

8) Jellybread - I Pity The Fool

I’m afraid I can’t tell you much about Jellybread, other than to not confuse them ith the American band Jelly Bread. This is another track I discovered via a randomly picked up compilation, and one which has stayed with me ever since. If you like it, check out some of their other material via Discogs or Youtube.

9) Fat Freddy’s Drop - Hope

This track was my introduction to Fat Freddy’s Drop and it came via the Best Seven Selections compilation on the Best Seven label. I’d thoroughly recommend picking up the Best Seven Selections series as they are full of cracking reggae/dub/soul inspired music. If you don’t know Fat Freddy’s Drop, then rectify that as soon as you can. If you are looking for this particular track you will either need to pick up the Best Seven Selections release, the Hope For A Generation cd EP or the 10” single as the track Hope that is on the Based On A True Story LP is not the same track.

10) Massive Attack - Better Things

Really needs no introduction. Again, I could have picked many of their fabulous back catalogue, but this is a track that resonates with me and the vocals of Tracey Thorn are just sublime. A match made in heaven.

11) Gwen McCrae - 90% Of Me Is You

I toyed with the idea of using the cover of this by the Dynamics ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r40R_wQRdDQ ) which you’ll find on the aforementioned Best Seven label, but Gwen’s vocals won me over on which version to use. Either way, it’s a great track, with great sentiment.

12) Lani Hall - Love Song

This is a track that most people know through Elton John covering it. I’m really not keen on his version myself, and much prefer this polished version from Lani Hall, or the original by Lesley Duncan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYelRP3MzEw

13) Junip - Without You

I’ve been a fan of Jose Gonzalez for a good while now, but his work with Junip had slipped under the radar for me. I only discovered it via a really fabulous mix James Lavelle put out via the Dazed Digital website (http://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/8826/1/exclusive-james-lavelle-mixtape). There is also a cracking live performance of this from Seattle based radio KEXP - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbC1uOjNh6A

14) Suzanne Kraft - Flatiron

The second track I am featuring that is from recently purchased vinyl. Coming from the LP ‘Talk From Home’, a very worthy purchase, as are the other two releases on the Melody As Truth label, which you’d expect given it is run by Johnny Nash.

15) Kings Of Convenience - Misread

I’m sure Dusk Dubs listeners won’t need any introduction to Kings Of Convenience. This is one of my favourite tracks of theirs, but I could have picked any number of them. It’s a shame that they haven’t put any music out since 2009. Hopefully that will change before too long.

16) The Detroit Experiment - Highest

A classic album that will stand the test of time. I love a lot of Carl Craig’s work, but this has to be my favourite record that he has his name attached to. Of course, in this instance, the LP this track is from is a collaboration between many noteworthy musicians and if you haven’t given time to listen to the LP yet then you should make an effort to change that.

17) The Doobie Brothers - Losin’ End

One of my favourite tracks from one of my favourite compilations in recent times. If you haven’t checked out the Too Slow To Disco series, get on it. As well as some well known cuts, there are a few lesser known gems on them.

18) Christian Prommer’s Drumlesson - Plastic Dreams

I wanted to end my selection with a more uptempo track that reflected my love of house music. Jaydee’s track Plastic Dreams is one of the earlier house tracks that got me into the direction of dance music. Rather than use the classic version which we all know and love, I’ve gone for this Jazzy version from Christian Prommer that came out on the excellent Sonar Kollektiv label. Well worth picking up the LP if you can find a copy that is in a reasonable price bracket.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Jarque....

"As always, thanks to Dusk Dubs crew for letting me put together another dig in the crates. Also a huge shout to Si Rage who gave me my break on his radio station and inspired this selection.

Last time I put something together for Dusk Dubs I was working under my production name of Niccolo Machiavelli. I put together a collection of tracks around the theme of atmosphere, lots of beatless stuff. This time I’m going in under my new production moniker of Jarque, and have stepped things up a bit.

Many years ago I used to DJ under the name of Submerge, I played out a fair bit in Oxford, Milton Keynes and London and ended up playing on one of the finest London pirates, Keen FM. The music policy was Hardcore and D+B, and I crafted myself a niche playing the more “Intelligent” side of things. Shows would always go off piste though and take in Choppage, Drumfunk and Techmospherics (how’s that for genre bashing?!). So when I was asked to put together a second selection for him I instantly thought about drawing for some old music that used to set my show alight every Thursday.

Some of these producers were one hit wonders; some were firmly established in the scene and continue to do what they do. Most of the music comes from the late 90’s to around 2004-2005 and if you can find it these days you will be lucky.

So here’s why I’ve stuck in what I have:" [[ Jarque ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Skeema – Shoot my Life – Proper intelligent D+B to kick off, a really nice pad and that haunting vocal always used to get me. This track sounded so good on a club system.

2) Nemos – Kuues Meel (Aural Imbalance Remix) – I remember first hearing this and just feeling blown away. The breakdown that kicks in around 4 minutes makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

3) Lee and Gwange – Too Deep – I first heard this when it was sampled on an old Dope Dragon track, so it was a pleasure to hear it in its full glory.

4) Orange & Blue – Tranquillity Drift – I used to listen to this every morning without fail taking the Central Line to work at 6am.

5) Seba + Paradox – Move on – I remember around 2005 or so the hordes at Drum and Bass Arena forum going mad for this track, on first listen I was floored! The processing on the vocal kills me.

6) Funky Technicians – Airtight – First piece of D+B vinyl I ever picked up. Possibly my favourite D+B track of all time.

7) Omni Trio – Beyond the Fundamental – The pad and drum programming are perfection.

8) Aural Imbalance – Secret Motion – How the hell he programmed the bell sound that comes in at 3:10 or so I’ll never know.

9) Break and Hydro – Immaculate – I remember hearing this out, the bass rattled my chest like few other tracks ever did.

10) Funky Technicians – Sound Trak – If one track sums up the whole “Intelligent” scene, it’s this one.

11) Matizz – Grace – This track didn’t leave my (virtual) record box for years.

12) Nu Tone – Heaven Sent – The most commercial track on here, probably a bit Liquid, but again the vocal processing just gets me.

13) Dragonsword – Time to Realise – I remember discovering Blame’s 720 Degrees label and it just ended up as buy on sight. This one was a free digital give away and was such a low press, but with a bit of EQ it sounded mental.

14) Cable – Ice Mines – Slowing it down a bit before taking it up, this is a really good melodic track.

15) Electro Soul System – Dreams – Andrey’s first ever track I do believe? The man who blew up and released on Hospital and all over can do no wrong. From a production point of view the sound he gets at 0.23 always got me.

16) Alpha Omega – Chasing Dragons – One of the Reinforced don’s finest. The drum programming is on top!

17) Usual Suspects – Killa Bees – I remember finally buying this, the massive H from Renegade Hardware on the sleeve. Remember proper record sleeve design? The money they must have spent on design and print alone! If you ever heard this on a system, you just know. I remember hearing Trace play it at the End and the place went absolutely mental, I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it.

18) 0=0 – Running – Just listen to it and try and work out how he programmed all of that.

19) 0=0 – Awake – Same as above really, the production values are just on another level.

20) Steve C and Monita – The Razors Edge – It feels strange to be “friends” with Monita on Facebook, yet in the early 90’s when I first heard this on Unity FM (88.4, 88.44444 Unittyyyyyyyyy) it sounded so alien I used to image who would have made something like that, and how? Was it a Bond villain or some alien warlord on another planet? Well turns out he’s a sound bloke, and he made some of my favourite tracks from the early to mid 90’s. THIS IS JUNGLE!]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Jarque....

"As always, thanks to Dusk Dubs crew for letting me put together another dig in the crates. Also a huge shout to Si Rage who gave me my break on his radio station and inspired this selection.

Last time I put something together for Dusk Dubs I was working under my production name of Niccolo Machiavelli. I put together a collection of tracks around the theme of atmosphere, lots of beatless stuff. This time I’m going in under my new production moniker of Jarque, and have stepped things up a bit.

Many years ago I used to DJ under the name of Submerge, I played out a fair bit in Oxford, Milton Keynes and London and ended up playing on one of the finest London pirates, Keen FM. The music policy was Hardcore and D+B, and I crafted myself a niche playing the more “Intelligent” side of things. Shows would always go off piste though and take in Choppage, Drumfunk and Techmospherics (how’s that for genre bashing?!). So when I was asked to put together a second selection for him I instantly thought about drawing for some old music that used to set my show alight every Thursday.

Some of these producers were one hit wonders; some were firmly established in the scene and continue to do what they do. Most of the music comes from the late 90’s to around 2004-2005 and if you can find it these days you will be lucky.

So here’s why I’ve stuck in what I have:" [[ Jarque ]]

1) Skeema – Shoot my Life – Proper intelligent D+B to kick off, a really nice pad and that haunting vocal always used to get me. This track sounded so good on a club system.

5) Olive – Your Not Alone
6) Always - Bent

11) Oh Punjab - Karunesh
12) Southern Sun - Paul Oakenfold (Solarstone Chillout remix)
13) Offshore - Chicane (Ambient Mix)
14) Bedrock - Beautiful Strange

One Day I'll Fly Away - Randy Crawford: Part of the American Jazz singer's 4th studio album titled - "Now We May Begin" (1980). This song is forever etched in my heart as a toddler, my older sister used to play this record countless number of times. Some years later, when I was all grown up, the lyrics of the track put a burning desire inside me, to get away from a closed in conservative city called Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, in the eastern part of India. Those hell! I gotta get out of this town moments and see the world tune :) And think Nicole Kidman did a version of this song some years ago for the movie Moulin Rouge.

Little Fluffy Clouds - The Orb: This track epitomizes a monster ambient offering, a true beauty. Trippy, skippy and if you didn't listen to Orb back in the day, then I wonder which rock you've been living under. Suffice to say, this release in 1990, assuredly confirmed my space in the non commercial dance music scene forever.

Principles of Lust - Enigma: This 1991 release as part of Enigma's album "MCMXC a.D" was revolutionary to say the least. The entire pack made a great impression on my young mind, that took me to other soundscapes, other than the usual dance music. A breath-taking offering from Enigma, to put it simply.

The Sun Rising - The Beloved: My tune of 1997 has to undoubtedly feature this UK band, to put it simply, it's the one you could swoon to, sway to, close your eyes to.

You're Not Alone - Olive: This British No.1 hit, from Olive's debut album "Extra Virgin" captured my heart, forever. The wistful lyrics, of this low key trip-hop number is classic and classic, predominantly cause of it's graceful melody, rhythmic ornamentation that makes it one of the most memorable releases of all time. Right on top of what one would call an entrancing production.

Always - Bent: This track evokes wistfulness and showcases a sample snippet of 'Always In My Heart' by Norrie Paramour And His Orchestra.More than anything, it's unique. Not very many people can make a song like this.

Eternity - Orion: My dearest uplifting Trance track of all time, on German label Incentive, this chilled version with those blissed out tinkles of Piano and Sara J's soulful vocals. Man, heaven!

Dead Can Dance - Opium: Who can dispute the beauty of this band and the musicality they bring. They can really wake something subliminal inside from you. And so they did with those albums that is worth all the gold of the world. "The Serpent's Egg and "Anastasis". Enough said.

Bird of Prey - Fatboy Slim: Encapsulating all of my 20's, in to one song. Then this is it. From getting low to Hip Hip and singing nearly all R&B hits, this one somehow, made a big impression on me. Paving a road to more alternate music, marks this as special. Moreover, the video of this track, was path breaking in many ways.

Drifted - Groove Armada: This tune, apart from being part of "Goodbye Country, Hello Nightclub", according to me, is the band's best album to ever come out. It's different, cause I was stumped by this pumping new wave sound, like no other.

Oh Punjab - Karunesh: Real name Bruno Reuter has such an amazing personal story to tell. He is the epitome of a world musician for me. This is the track to get goosebumps on, if you can understand the meaning of the words, which is a mix of Hindi and Punjabi. An all time favorite.

Southern Sun - Paul Oakenfold, Solarstone Chillout remix: No doubt that my years of growing up got shaped by Oakie's musicality, I fell in love with Trance largely due to his presence in the dance music world. But this song, reworked by Solarstone, I hold close to my heart. So poignant, so full of hope and so beautiful.

Offshore - Chicane, Ambient Mix: Growing up to Chicane, loving their music came easy. But this track stands out in all, cause of the melodic angle, I am a sucker for melody. Where there's melody, there's soul. And this slowed down ambient mix just does it for me. One of the coolest offerings from Chicane that time.

Beautiful Strange - Bedrock: A timeless classic, I fell in love with this tune not only cause it's from my favorite label in the world, but cause I remember playing this one, every morning after, of every hectic weekend and this would uplift me, make me ready for another night those years when I lived in Nepal, Kathmandu in 2001. I used to manage a nightclub there.]]>

This week, General Camel

I'd like to thank Tommy and Jon for asking me to kick off YR-03 of the Dusk Dubs mixtape series, it's a project I've loved being involved with over the past couple of years, so it's a real privilege for me....

Thanks lads!

My selections for this particular mixtape are all tracks from Dj's/Producers who would probably be more well know for their Drum & Bass productions. These guys are also producing some amazing down tempo, deep, chilled out stuff....which I absolutely love and hopefully you guys will too...

Having been a fan of Drum & Bass music from the very beginning I couldn't help but end the mix with a few classics !

So sit back, crack open a beer and enjoy the music..."

So thats a wrap... 52 volumes of Sunday mixtapes released for YR-02. To mark this anniversary, we thought we'd remind ourselves what Dusk Dubs is all about.... Music, connecting with sound people and sharing good memories and positive vibes. So, a couple of weeks ago we asked the Dusk Dubs family, both listeners and selectors, to pick one record from one mixtape from the last two years of Dusk Dubs, and tell us about it.

"Why did that record make your hair stand up on end ? Did it introduce you to a new world you didn't know about ? Did it transport you right back to a place that is special in your soul ?"

Of course, the family came through with over 50 amazing selections posted to us. So, after many heated discussions by the team, we painstakingly got it down to 21 tracks.

Here it is, our 'Birthday Edition' selected by your good-selves.

A massive heart-felt thanks to each and every selector and listener who has got involved in the last year, we at Dusk Dubs continue to be motivated and inspired... See you in YR-03 .... Peace X.

Tracklisting....

1) Little Dragon – Twice (Selected by Skeleton Army from General Camel's DD0235 - "I love hearing a track on a Dusk Dubs mixtape that I haven't heard for years but the real joy for me is discovering new music that I might never have heard otherwise. DD0235 from General Camel was full of these, including a real gem, 'Twice' by Little Dragon. I loved it as soon as I heard it, downloaded it the next day and can't stop playing it. A great DuskDubs find. Big up Cam.")

2) Bangers R Mashed (Vol. 1) ~ Healing In Vain - Selected by Mark Boo from Nibber's DD0139 - "Nearly fell over when I heard that for the first time, such a vibe and 2 of my all time fave tracks.")

3) De La Soul - Buddy (Native Tongue Decision Version) (Selected by Demodulated from DJ Monita's DD0130 - "I used to listen to this tune on cassette in grade 5 on a compilation called Rap Traxx 3. Memories of playing tag, sugary juice boxes, and video arcades".)

4) Guru – Lougin (Selected by DJ Remedee from Harrison's DD0202 - "From my favourite hip hop artist of all time, setting up year 2 a treat.")

5) Rae and Christian - Swimming Pool (Selected by DJ Charge from Original Gidman's DD0101 - "The reason for this is that this tune was an old favourite that I'd forgotten about. U reintroduced it to me and in that instant got me hooked on the Dusk Dubs vibe. The first 4 tunes on the mix I wasn't that familiar with, the 5th took me back in such a way I rewound the mix and listened with completely different ears. There might be better tracks across the Dusk Dubs series, but that was the one that made me want to be part of this movement. Big Up.")

6) FSOL - Far Out Son Of A Lung (Selected by Micky Stirrups from Lovingdjing Andy's DD0219 - "My parents were a big influence on me musically and brought this home one day. Up until then a lot of the music I'd heard had conformed if you know what I mean. I was only 12. It showed me a completely different way of thinking about songs. I went out and bought everything I could under all their aliases and I'm still trying. I don't think I'll ever complete that mission haha.")

7) Låpsley – Dancing (Selected by Bartissimo from Depoeism's DD0239 - "Hit me like a train when I listened to that week's selection - little bit different to what's "normally" on - if there's such a thing.")

8) Danmass - Happy Here (Selected by Mat Hoods from Original Gidman's DD0205 - "Beautiful tune and yep, it reminds me of Kes too !")

9) Jamie XX – Far Nearer (Selected by Reece Danns from Skeleton Army's DD0228 - "The steel drums just take me away back to school days, always loved the sound of them drums.")

10 Bill Withers - Who Is He (And What Is He To You) (Selected by Original Gidman from Danny Mac's DD0108 - "Oh my dayz... those heartfelt lyrics and that chugging bassline.... when this dropped in Danny's mixtape - it took me right back to my days at Gilles Peterson's 'That's How It is !' club night at Bar Rumba. Where I got to hear Soul/Funk/Jazz on a proper sound system - there's is nothing quite like it. Great Times, Great People and Great memories..... Thank you Danny.")

11) Transit Kings - The Last Lighthouse Keeper (Selected by Danny Mac from Original Gidman's DD0111) "For 6 mins and 31 seconds it lets you into another world.")

12) Link – Arcadian (Selected by Depoeism from Flatliner's DD0215 - "Thought about this long and hard. My favourite track has got to be Arcadian by Link. Just love the vibes this particular track gives me. It takes me on a journey , getting lost in the ever changing moods. From zoning out to being uplifted again.")

13) Orbital - Belfast (Wasted Remix) (Selected by MacMonkee from Twindad's DD0221 - "Took me right back to the Eclipse in 1991, getting lost in the lasers with that funny feeling in your stomach!")

14) The Orb – Fussball (Instrumental) (Selected by Harrison from DZG303's DD0117 - "It was the 1st time I heard this sort of dub/chug/techno sound in a record so perfect. I needed it, it sort of joined the dots in my mind. Discovered a new field to dance in.")

15) Rufus & Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody (Hallucinogenic Version) (Selected by General Camel from Nibbers' DD0139 - "This track is an absolute BELTER and it transported me right back to a few wicked nights I had at a night called the "Electric Chair" in Manchester. The Electric Chair was held at the Music Box (I think) and has now become a Legendary night put on by the Unabombers. I'd gone through the amazing era of raving from 92 onwards and I never felt I'd experience anything like that again..... I was wrong! This club was like starting all over again.......Vibes were off the hook!!!!!")

16) Space Dimension Controller - Transatlantic Landing Bay (Selected by Linda Graham from Original Gidman's DD0111 - "I just love the track.... Slick and funky. Simple as.")

17) Pepe Braddock – Deep Burnt (Selected by Flatliner from Jay Cee's DD0201 - "One track that I had not heard in a long while but it sounded as good as ever, if not better was the excellent 'Deep Burnt' by Pepe Bradock. A timeless piece that most people would find hard not to like.")

18) Synkro & Indigo – Guidance (Selected by 10inchpress from Flatliner's DD0140 - "I love when a track stops you completely in your tracks. When Michael Flatliner Errity selected this - it was incredible. Still is...absolutely mesmerising..")

19) Foul Play - Music Is The Key (Omni Trio Remix) (Selected by Twindad from Skeleton Army's DD0152 - "Just a fantastically emotional tune for me. The Dusk Dubs tune that makes my hairs stand up no matter where I hear it..")

20) Hyper On Experience - Lord Of The Null Lines (selected by Soundaffected from Artikal LDN's DD0206 -"Can't say enough about this tune.")

21) Skanna - This Way (Selected by Hypnotic Jazz from Om Unit's DD0207 - "Pretty much sums up a golden era of music for me, and it was on the first Dusk Dubs volume I listened to when we first linked. Classic! .")]]>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: D/R/U/G/S
Title: DD0251
Style: Techno, Soul, Indie, Classical
Time: 72 Minutes
Date: 2015-09-06

We are extremely privileged to be welcoming D/R/U/G/S to the Dusk Dubs family, hailing from both Manchester and London, electronic artist D/R/U/G/S appears to be part of a slow yet highly welcomed reemergence of ambient house music, creating serotonin-inducing textures that are as contemplative as they are danceable.

D/R/U/G/S, for all the brackets and backslashes makes an awesome racket. Dealing in club music, but with an organic, spacey bent, tracks manage to be both languid and dynamic: songs that reach high but stretch out slowly. Live shows transcend what is traditionally exptected of a club set. A mesh of analogue and digital, djing and performance. A regular staple on the club and festival circuit since his first 12" release.

One of the most sought after remixers around, Lana Del Rey, Moby, The Go Team, Crystal Fighters, Max Cooper and whole host of respected producers and artists have sought to collaberate in the past 4 years. His own singles such as 'Love/Lust' (Moshi Moshi) and 'Overcome' (Bad Life) have also garnered a wide online response aswell as strong radio support from Radio 1, 6Music and beyond.

D/R/U/G/S debut album 'Colossal Divide' will be released early 2016

Here are a few words from the man himself.....

1) GZA - 4th Chamber - My earliest musical purchase im prepared to admit to would be a Wu Tang - Gravel Pit cassette. Growing up moslty in South
London meant Hip Hop and UK Garage was all anyone listened to throughout secondary school and I was no different.

2) LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great - I think LCD opneded a lot of kids minds to the dance world when their first album came out. I was staunch indie at the time and my concept of dance music didnt extend much beyond the unspeakable crimes that go on in places like Tiger Tiger so for this I am ever grateful.

3) Prince - Controversy - The best live performer ive ever seen, by a mile too not even close, I knew 2 songs when I saw him live. Did fuck all aswell which
is the weird thing, just stood there and played. Defintely made me re-analyse my priorities where live performance is concered.

4) Mount Kimbie - Maybes - When I first broke through as an artist in 2011 I remember not having too many contempories who were doing my kind of thing, especially in this country cos I was very much a live artists, mostly playing shows with bands and being on band type labels and even though it was only 4 years ago there was noticeably less cross over than now. It was super reasuring to play what was our 3rd or 4th show with these and know that there was other weird electronic types kicking about too.

5) John Murphy - Adagio in D Minor - I talk alot about the emotional impact music can have, i still dont understand it but certain tracks have that
element whether its a chord change or a cresendo or whatever that just lifts you somehow. This track is one of my first memories of that feeling. Something ive tried to recreate.

6) Orbital - Belfast - When i first got compared to these i didnt know who the fuck they were. For some reason i had it in my head that they were a shit kind of World Cup anthem, Stoke on a saturday night, Wetherspoons type of band. I was wrong.

7) Aphex Twin - Heliosphan - Possibly the greatest piece of ambient electronic music ever. Maybe.

8) Nathan Fake - The Sky Was Pink (James Holden Remix) - Heard this and got into dance music basically.

9) David Bowie - Hearts Filthy Lesson - I remember hearing this at the end of Seven when I was about 12 and it disturbed me more than the film (which was pretty disturbing). Its just mental really,

10) The Chemical Brothers - Saturate - About the only thing I can remember from my first Glastonbury is the chems playing this on the saturday night. Was a life changing weekend in many ways.

11) MONO - The Flames Beyond The Cold Mountain - Going back to the earlier point of emotional impact in song, just before i discovered dance music i went through a big post-rock / ambient which was hugely influential on the music i was making at the time and still is really. This track is a great example of that, as is most of Mono's stuff.

9) David Bowie - Hearts Filthy Lesson - I remember hearing this at the end of Seven when I was about 12 and it disturbed me more than the film (which was pretty disturbing). Its just mental really,

10) The Chemical Brothers - Saturate - About the only thing I can remember from my first Glastonbury is the chems playing this on the saturday night. Was a life changing weekend in many ways.

11) MONO - The Flames Beyond The Cold Mountain - Going back to the earlier point of emotional impact in song, just before i discovered dance music i went through a big post-rock / ambient which was hugely influential on the music i was making at the time and still is really. This track is a great example of that, as is most of Mono's stuff.

This week, ya chest.....its Depoeism!!

One of my things I used to do when buying tracks/vinyl, was to look out for remixes or where the samples came from. Off the back of this, I found tracks from other artists that just connected with me and brought back good times, memories, not just from my raving days but from growing up as an inner city kid.
So let me take you on a little journey of my youth.
Best played loud for all to hear.
Ya chests
Depóeism

1- dBridge - Mana's Lament
2- Intel Dub - Cosmic Mantis
3- Bob Marley & The Wailers - Don't rock my boat (STUHR Remix )
4- Inner City - Good Life ( Contepella Remix )
5- Rehash - Gratuitous theft in the rain
6- RJD2 - Heres what's left

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Depoeism
Title: DD0239
Style: Eclectic; Dub; Techno; House
Time: 80 Minutes
Date: 2015-06-14

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. I then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week, ya chest.....its Depoeism!!

One of my things I used to do when buying tracks/vinyl, was to look out for remixes or where the samples came from. Off the back of this, I found tracks from other artists that just connected with me and brought back good times, memories, not just from my raving days but from growing up as an inner city kid.
So let me take you on a little journey of my youth.
Best played loud for all to hear.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. I then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome Modernista to the DuskDubs family, He caught our eye and has been on the DD radar for sometime after seeing him post numerous quality tunes on Twitter. Anything from jungle, reggae, hardcore, 80's pop to the 'Summer Of Love' sounds of the 60's. This very much eclectic taste and his knowledge of music in general makes him perfect for the DuskDubs mixtape series.

Modernista:
“My main influence originally was my dad who was part of the Mod scene in the 60s/70s. Our house was always filled with the sounds of Northern Soul and Motown. Growing up in Ladbroke Grove with the West Indian and Caribbean influences brought me into the Reggae and Ska sounds in the 80s. I started listening to pirate stations in the late 80's early 90's and also the Radio 1 and Kiss underground shows, so a lot of the direction I took was upon myself and my own explorations. In 1992 a friend of mine named Paul who was also into the early Rave music took me to Orange at Astoria and the rest is History as they say. Again, after finding another person at College in 1993/94 who was into underground music, I then leaned towards the darker, dubs and breaks of the newly forming Jungle scene and that has pretty much stayed with me for over 20 years.

DJs/Producers that have influenced me, Carl Cox, Todd Terry, Fabio, LTJ Bukem, Randall, Andy C, Hype, Marc Mac, Goldie

Films that have influenced me musically, I would say the main one has to be Bladerunner, Vangelis on the soundtrack to that film was visionary. Also some of the early gangster films like Juice, Menace 2 Society, Boyz in da Hood they all had local youth urban style soundtracks.

Well I hope you all enjoy this selection, I have balanced some of my favourite music to go with the Dusk Dubs feel and although some tracks may already been in people’s minds I hope this jogs some memories and introduces some sounds you haven’t heard before”


1. Lana Del Rey- Blue Jeans (Instrumental)
2. Masta Ace - Saturday Night Live
3. Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Pt2 (Instrumental)
4. The Pharcyde- Passing me by
5. Thievery Corp - Stargazer
6. Frances Ashman - Peculiar Groove
7. Hip-Hop Beats - White Rabbit (ablerton live)

This week we humbly welcome Twindad back to the show. It’s been far too long since we gave him the platform to show off his musical knowledge and influences. Twindad is at the very core of Dusk Dubs, consistently offering up music that makes you stop in your tracks and go…maaaaaan! This week is no different. A real musical journey through his thoughts and an eclectic mixtape, but with a true underlying vibe throughout that I think you can always sense.

Twindad:

“Jon, Leighton & Tommy, I can’t thank you guys enough for allowing me to contribute to this ongoing project called Duskdubs once again and for putting out quality volumes week after week. I look forward to every release. I always find gems among them, and I absolutely love the selections.
I think I am more nervous about these selections than I was for the first one. I’ve made my list, scraped it, made another, and scraped that one, on & on until I came up with this one. My brain and my heart were pulled in many directions with this musical decision.
My dad played a huge part in my musical journey, we even listened to Kraftwerk back in the 70’s and my first selection of Duskdubs was aired on my late dad’s birthday, it was really special for me, so this volume is dedicated to the man who brought me to the music, my dad, I think he would have approved and appreciated these tunes.
Now onto the selections: As with everybody, musical tastes change somewhat, but it seems you always gravitate to what is your base. I’ve done some digging and came up with some tunes that I gravitate towards when I need that familiar sound.
There are some excellent tunes in this volume, please enjoy and please leave some feedback, it is always good to hear”

1. The Orb – Reefer Spin in the Galaxy
2. Orbital – Belfast/Wasted
3. Lightbox – Cut Four
4. Arc Lab – Versions
5. Monolake – Television Tower
6. Shigeto - Helicopter in the sky
7. Dub Tractor – Snappy Bloom
8. David Morley – Shining
9. Photek – DNA
10. 808 State - Long Orange (Testa)
11. Roni Size – Watching Windows (Ed Rush & Optical Remix)
12. Sci-Clone – Melt
13. DJ Shadow – What Does Your Soul Look Like (DJ Die Remix)

There are some excellent tunes in this volume, please enjoy and please leave some feedback, it is always good to hear”

1. The Orb – Reefer Spin in the Galaxy
2. Orbital – Belfast/Wasted
3. Lightbox – Cut Four
4. Arc Lab – Versions
5. Monolake – Television Tower
6. Shigeto - Helicopter in the sky
7. Dub Tractor – Snappy Bloom
8. David Morley – Shining
9. Photek – DNA
10. 808 State - Long Orange (Testa)

Stepping up this week, we have Dave Faze and Andrea Nibbers. Outside of the‘Dub Wars’ ring these men are good friends, and are known for their musical knowledge and expansive record collections. However, all this means nothing, as these two musical heavyweights go toe to toe, trading musical jabs, punches and maybe even a knock-out in this weeks #DuskDubs soundclash

Dave Faze
When Dusk Dubs invited me to go toe to toe as part of Dubwars with my good friend Nibbers, I was both buzzing yet filled with some trepidation as I consider Nibbers to be the finest selector I know across genres.If you have been to his house and seen his vinyl collection you know what I mean! The guys is a proper music lover and with a passion that is unmatched anywhere! It is a real honour to asked back again to explore my musical passions with you all.
This time going head to head with Nibbers, I found the process very exciting and once we got going the selections were coming think and fast; each exploring music on an emotional level (this is the essence for me!) digging deep into our musical heritage. As you can see, I begin this journey and wanted to match the big man track for track,my selections were not pre-selected and had to be in keeping with what Nibbers had selected after me which was the most exciting aspect of this taking part in the project,many of my selections I’d not heard in years and bought back some great memories.Big up the Dusk Dubs family.


Nibbers
I feel a selection is very personal and tells a story with a sense, a very personal one too. Sometimes, the journey through your music is a long research, sometimes it’s a series of progressive stepping stones leading to unknown and surprising destinations. Embarking a musical journey with a friend, it’s another experience altogether but equally exciting. I think of it as a journey through memories, feelings and emotions.

The tracks I have selected reflect exactly that but they are part of me, some are well known, some less so but they make sense to me and hopefully they make sense to you too.

As I did for my first Dusk Dubs selection, I have tried to capture an evocative feel of dub, more than dub in its traditional sense. Dub is a broad church anyway and I have never felt comfortable preaching a single God. So there you go, once again open your ears and listen with an open mind, who knows you might enjoy the journey too.

This week we welcome Lovingdjing Andy to the family. Andy clearly lives and breathes music, whether it’s his daily posts of tracks on social media or the sharing of pictures of his ‘musical DJ man cave’ .. Andy is thinking, talking, sharing music 24/7 .. 365. In addition to attending club nights , festivals etc, you can find him most weekends, live on air, throwing down the beats…”loving Dj’ing”…. on his radio show on http://www.upfrontradio.co.uk/.

Here are a few words from the man himself…..

Can I just say what an honor it was when I was asked to be part of the #DuskDubs family so huge
respect to Jon , Tommy and Leighton. So really my journey into the realm of music started when
me mum bought my 1st 12” record – ‘Kids TV themes from the 70s’. But it probably wasn’t until 1983 that I heard Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambataa’s ‘Planet Rock’ that hooked me into the Electro Breakdance scene, and I still have the scars to prove it - for it was whilst doing the famous
windmill indoors that I crashed into the my fireplace nearly breaking me neck.

But even so I used to love purchasing electro tapes and then cranking them out on the local high
street corner with the huge ghetto-blaster which needed 12 huge car batteries to run it. So, already I was on the right path in the music scene and it was when I went to me 1st rave at the Hammersmith
Palais in 1991 and the Prodigy were just starting out, and I thought yes please… I want more, and that was it. I was reborn into the hardcore Rave scene #World Dance,Helter Skelter.Ravealation,Club UK
etc... Every Saturday going to various record shops i.e. Lucky Spin, Mash, Troublesome Records to name just a few, and just to hear the latest pressings was enough for me to buy the latest releases and also coming out with an arm full of flyers, which we would all look at and choose where to rave. So I’m so glad I have been a part of the hardcore, jungle, techno, and house scene and hear is just a
handful of different tunes from different genres that I have chosen which sum up my musical
taste ......... Enjoy All, Respect.

We are extremely privileged to have ‘Ten50 Records’ label boss; producer, DJ and all round legend, Mark Force selecting for us this week. Born and raised in West London, Mark has been producing and DJing for over 20 years. He got this first pair of turntables at the age of 11 and was caught up by the musical wave of hip-hop and electro at the time. Fast-forward to the early 1990’s and Mark aka ‘G Force’ gets his first production schooling by D&B and Breaks legend Illian Walker aka ILS. Under the G Force alias Mark released a number of productions through the 90’s starting with the ‘Mistermen Volumes 1 & 2’ in 1994 on Rugged Vinyl Records sub-label Mistermen, followed by solo and joint productions on labels such as, Made In London, Indochina and Echo Drop. Around this time Mark also DJ’d on the South London pirate station Don FM - holding down the coveted Sunday night slot from ’92 to ’96. More productions followed ….the legendary and unreleased track ‘Proximity’ for Good Looking Records., the Renegade/Minimum Wage 12” on Reinforced Records, another alias, Procedure 769 ‎– Lethal Dosage 12” and the 1999 album ‘Just Another Number’ (both collaborations with his old production buddy and label-mate Seiji) all for Reinforced Records.

It was while making this album that Mark first met and worked with vocalist Bembe Segue and outstanding musician Kaidi Tatham, and it’s a musical relationship that’s maintained through to current productions and collaborations under various names and on various imprints. It’s at this time that Mark was on full production duties with the nine-strong ‘Broken Beat’ super group Bugz In The Attic – which to be fair… ruled the Broken Beat scene with their amazing productions and killer remixes….. eventually getting signed to Virgin Records V2 imprint. Mark continues to split his time between production and DJing. A natural born collaborator, inspired by the talent and soulfulness around, he continues to deliver brilliantly produced, progressive British dance music. ….most recently releasing the 2014 singles “Chicago” on Transit Records and ‘Smoke It’ featuring Bembe Segue on his, Kaidi Tatham & Matt Lord’s own label Ten50 Records (www.ten50.net) ….

Here are a few words from this weeks selector:

"I started in DJing in 1986 when I was 11 through my love of hip hop and electro. Through that love of hip hop and then getting into samples, I discovered jazz and funk and soul and it’s that whole period of discovery and those influences that I’ve gone back to for this mixtape. It was really difficult to put it together because there’s so much amazing music from this era and so many tunes I love. But every single track in the selection has either incredible artists, great musicianship or amazing production. I hope you enjoy it.... Mark"

This week we have the honour of inviting Skeleton Recordings boss DJ Monita back to the series. Over the last year, DJ Monita has become a force again. Selling records, tearing up the air waves, many feel like he has picked up where he left off and they are very thankful for it. But not only has he got the full support of those who were with him in the early 90’s, but he has captured a new generation of Jungalists and proved it will never die. None of what has happened for Monita, and the Skeleton Recordings camp has happened through luck. It has happened for honest, wholesome reasons. Hard work, hard work and more hard work. Monita has given a lot to this love of his, and you can tell. He is an inspiration to old and new, if you really believe in your music and your cause, don’t sit on your ass and wait for it to happen, make it happen.

This #DuskDubs volume is perfect. It’s the flip side. It’s that moment when you put down the laptop/phone, you dim the light, you open a cold beer, put your feet up, sink into a comfy chair and physically feel all the weight and stresses float away. Monita deserves this moment, and he isn’t alone so we thank him for giving us an hour of the some of the most incredible music ever produced.

Here are some words from this week’s selector, DJ Monita:


“Being asked to compile a second volume for the #DuskDubs lads was a complete honour as I have always enjoyed being involved with the series and guys.
When I done my Vol. 30, it was something that I pieced together with tracks that meant a lot from when I first started venturing out into the underground rave scene.
This volume however is different.

Everyone knows me as this dark and heavy Drum & Bass guy, so I wanted to show and prove that there is a chilled out, softer side of Mr Monita.
I name this selection 'The Earth Volume' as every track was selected from the LTJ Bukem 'Earth' series.

So, here it is, my 'Earth Volume' #DuskDubs selection.
Enjoy, Monita.

I would like to take this opportunity to say a big "thank you" to all of you that have supported both myself and Skeleton Recordings since the re-launch over the past year. It really does mean a lot.

Shouts to the creators Tommy, Jon, Leighton and also to all past, present and future #DuskDubs volumes selectors.

Big respect and love to all my Twitter and Facebook followers.

An extra special shout to Depo, Remedee, Twindad, Demodulated, Morgan OSL, Linda Mrs G, Penny 'Jungle Muffin', Locksista, Woody Jungle, Reece Danns, Erts, Old Tree, Old Skool Dave, Daz Vibe, Shoggy and all the OOS crew, Dave Faze, Nick FX, Nibbers, Headgear, Hughsee, Louise Plus One, Thumbzo, DJ Stretch, Threshold, Ricky Force, Soul Intent, Flashback and all the Dream FM Family and friends.”

This week we have the honour of inviting Skeleton Recordings boss DJ Monita back to the series. Over the last year, DJ Monita has become a force again. Selling records, tearing up the air waves, many feel like he has picked up where he left off and they are very thankful for it. But not only has he got the full support of those who were with him in the early 90’s, but he has captured a new generation of Jungalists and proved it will never die. None of what has happened for Monita, and the Skeleton Recordings camp has happened through luck. It has happened for honest, wholesome reasons. Hard work, hard work and more hard work. Monita has given a lot to this love of his, and you can tell. He is an inspiration to old and new, if you really believe in your music and your cause, don’t sit on your ass and wait for it to happen, make it happen.

This #DuskDubs volume is perfect. It’s the flip side. It’s that moment when you put down the laptop/phone, you dim the light, you open a cold beer, put your feet up, sink into a comfy chair and physically feel all the weight and stresses float away. Monita deserves this moment, and he isn’t alone so we thank him for giving us an hour of the some of the most incredible music ever produced.

Here are some words from this week’s selector, DJ Monita:


“Being asked to compile a second volume for the #DuskDubs lads was a complete honour as I have always enjoyed being involved with the series and guys.
When I done my Vol. 30, it was something that I pieced together with tracks that meant a lot from when I first started venturing out into the underground rave scene.
This volume however is different.

Everyone knows me as this dark and heavy Drum & Bass guy, so I wanted to show and prove that there is a chilled out, softer side of Mr Monita.
I name this selection 'The Earth Volume' as every track was selected from the LTJ Bukem 'Earth' series.

So, here it is, my 'Earth Volume' #DuskDubs selection.
Enjoy, Monita.

I would like to take this opportunity to say a big "thank you" to all of you that have supported both myself and Skeleton Recordings since the re-launch over the past year. It really does mean a lot.

Shouts to the creators Tommy, Jon, Leighton and also to all past, present and future #DuskDubs volumes selectors.

Big respect and love to all my Twitter and Facebook followers.

An extra special shout to Depo, Remedee, Twindad, Demodulated, Morgan OSL, Linda Mrs G, Penny 'Jungle Muffin', Locksista, Woody Jungle, Reece Danns, Erts, Old Tree, Old Skool Dave, Daz Vibe, Shoggy and all the OOS crew, Dave Faze, Nick FX, Nibbers, Headgear, Hughsee, Louise Plus One, Thumbzo, DJ Stretch, Threshold, Ricky Force, Soul Intent, Flashback and all the Dream FM Family and friends.”

This week we welcome Beatwell to the #DuskDubs family.

Originally from the Midlands, His musical journey began way back in the early 90's, As a teenager he was well and truly swept away with the rave culture that had captured the entire country. Going to many of the now legendary raves and clubs in the Midlands. As the sound progressed from the early rave/hardcore days into the much deeper darker jungle/dnb sound, Beatwell had definitely found his path in the scene.
DJ's like LTJ Bukem, Doc Scott, Fabio were all favourites of his and that deep atmospheric sound they used to pioneer at the time had a massive influence on him.

Now living in Brighton, Beatwell set up a night called 'What's Wrong With Groovin?' With partner in crime Ed Meme.

What's Wrong With Groovin? was established as a monthly residency 4 years ago with 2 DJs playing the best in heavy funk, deep soul, old school hip hop, afrobeat, latin, breaks, broken beats and anything else driven by a pounding drumline. A tribute to the beats. Between them, Beatwell and Ed Meme have featured alongside some of the most respected names in the business of the beats, including Marva Whitney, DJ Maseo (De La Soul), Maxi Jazz, Norman Jay, Nightmares On Wax, Craig Charles and most recently Giles Peterson...

So it's a real pleasure to have him on board, welcome to the family Bro!

Here are a few words from the man himself, and we are fortunate to have a track by track commentary from him also:

“I was thrilled to be asked to compile an edition of #Duskdubs and after hearing about it, I loved the concept and the enthusiasm. I've always had a very eclectic taste when it comes to music and #DuskDubs offers a platform to express this across many genres whilst also keeping very much within a certain vibe and feel.

For this edition I've cherry picked tracks that have stuck with me through the years and tunes I never really get chance to play out in my usual DJ sets. You will find Downtempo gem's nestled against soundtracks and Australian Library Records, Classic Hip Hop hunkered down with folky psychedelic Jazz and Deep House huggin' timeless Hardcore, and even a bit of laid back Jungle thrown in too.

So with Winter now in full and swing, kick back and get warming those cockles....... warm and easy”

Sub Sub - Past (1992) :

What can I say about this. A classic 'Ibiza' tune. 2.5 minutes of pure joy. I could listen to this on loop for 2.5 days, ha. A perfect tune to start off with and sets the mood for the rest of the mix. Oh and for all the Anoraks out there. The guys behind Sub Sub went on to become the successful 3 piece band 'The Doves'.

Nightmares On Wax - Rise > And Reprise (1995)

Awesome tune from an awesome downtempo album (Smokers Delight) so good I couldn't help but include 'The Reprise' version too. This always reminds me of my travels as I included this on a mixtape that I took backpacking with me > Sunshine On Wax.

Wagon Christ - Down Under (1995)

Deep deep tune from a very deep album by the very talented Wagon Christ aka Luke Vibert. One for 'the Smokers' out there and a tune released when Trip Hop was at it's peak. Check the languid bass roll.....

Fila Brazillia - President Chimp Toe (1998)

A standout tune from a lovely album by the kings of Downtempo. The Fila Brazillia boys were very prolific, mainly in the 90's but the quality was always top notch. I love the warmth and humour they put into their music. Strictly hammock vibes.

Johnny Harris And His Orchestra - Footprints On The Moon (1970)

A majestic cinematic piece of music. I've always loved old soundtracks and instrumental library music. Especially from the 60's and 70's. Music that makes you feel like a movie star.... whilst floating through space, ha

Sven Libaek - Misty Canyon (1970)

3 minutes of sheer musical bliss. Sven Libaek is an Australian Composer and made many soundtracks for film and TV, especially in the 60's. Sexy and seductive vibes.

Tom Scott - Today (1967)

I love this cover of the Jefferson Airplane classic. I first discovered Tom Scott's version through a sax lick from the solo being sampled for the next track on this comp. A very psychedelic sound that blends together Folk and Jazz from that era.

Pete Rock & CL Smooth - T.R.O.Y. They Reminisce Over You (1992)

A classic Hip Hop joint that for me follows Tom Scott's Today perfectly as the Sax was sampled from it. That's what I love about classic Hip Hop production. Joining the dots between a sample and it's original source. Which was usually from some old obscure jazz or funk record. This track was one of those golden age Hip Hop tracks that I remember seeing on MTV Raps which I watched religiously when I got home from school.

Grand Puba - I Like It 'I Wanna be where you are' (1995)

Another slice of classic 90's Hip Hop from one of my favourite MC's (and most underated for me) 'Grand Puba'. Love the laid back flow to this one. Cool and deadly. Naughty lyrics too, ha

Aim - Just Passin' Through (1998)

Lovely soulful piece of Instrumental Hip Hop from the man like Aim. One of the shining lights in UK Hip Hop and downtempo beats back in the 90's and early 00's and released on Grand Central records which could do no wrong for me.

Block 16 - Find An Oasis > Fug Remix (2001)

The name say's it all on this desert island nugget of soulful housey grooves. Given the Fug Live remix treatment, this is one of those tracks that never fails to send your thoughts drifting off to warmer climbs.

Fragile State - Panacea > Jimpster Remix (2003)

Absolutely love this. It's all about the steady build up. I'm not the world's biggest House fanboy but Jimpster is up there for me. Whether it be his full on Deep House productions or his more laid back tracks like this remix he did for old Big Chill favourites and now sadly defunct Fragile State > Splendid stuff!

Georg Levin - When I'm With You > Original Version (2001)

I first heard this beauty on a Mix CD called 'Off Limits 2' by top Berlin Deep House producer and DJ, Dixon (who is actually on production duty on this) when I was in Australia on my travels. I love the obscure vocal delivery from Georg and the awesome melody and sunny loved up feel to this record. Released on Dixon's own Recreation Records which is part of the very much respected and consistently high quality German Label, Sonar Kollektiv.

Doc Scott - Far Away > Fourteen Flavours Of Funk (1994)

I couldn't compile this edition of #DuskDubs without cheekily squeezing in a bit of classic old skool Jungle. A genre of music, which to me is still very much misunderstood by many. Doc Scott was not only one of the biggest DJ's on the scene back in the day but also one of the best producers too. This laid back slice of sophisticated Jungle was released on one of my favourite jungle/DnB labels back then..... METALHEADZ.

Skanna - This Way (1993)

Finally, to finish off, I JUST HAD TO include this absolute gem (and probably one of my all time favourite tracks from any genre) by producer John Graham aka Skanna. This record was so ahead of the pack at the time. A time when the darker elements of breakbeat/hardcore rave music had taken over. I first heard this on an old Studio mixtape by one of my favourite DJ's, LTJ Bukem. It was included in a Set of top quality tunes but it still stood out by a country mile. Although the production now feels slightly outdated the feel to this piece of music is just Timeless and a record I'll never get bored of listening to.

]]> And Reprise (1995) Awesome tune from an awesome downtempo album (Smokers Delight) so good I couldn]]> 297105 no no Wed, 19 Aug 2015 18:03:22 +0200 2015-08-19T18:03:22+02:00 1:16:12 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0215-dusk-dubs-flatliner/
This week we welcome back previous selector and DuskDubs friend, Flatliner.
Most of us know him from his days spent in the Ram Records camp who were a massive influence on the Jungle/Drum and Bass scene back in the early 90's and still are to this day. He produced classics like 'The Big Bang' and 'No Boundaries' (https://www.ramrecords.com/shop/download/ramm09d )
Recently Flatliner took a trip to Tresor, world famous nightclub in Berlin, some say the spiritual home of Techno, the history of the club dates back to 1988 when the electronic label 'Interfisch' opened the UFO club in Berlin. UFO was the original centre of Berlin house and Techno.
He was also very lucky enough to attend one of the events of the year - The new Aphex Twin album listening party (DuskDubs are very jealous).
So, although Flatliners roots very much lie with the jungle/dnb vibe of the early 90's, This volume shows us a very different side to the man we all know and love, it's also very clear to see in his selections, the time spent at club 'Tresor' and that very special Apex Twin gig, plays a massive part in this Volume.
Flatliner is also producing music again, this time, a more techno / deep house flavour is coming from his mind. We highly recommend you hit his soundcloud page to check his current projects.

Flatliner is now very much part of the DuskDubs family and it's always a pleasure for us to give him the floor.

Find him here:

Here are a few words from the man himself, and we are fortunate to have a track by track commentary from him also:


“It has been a huge honour selecting again for DuskDubs and as with my first volume, each track here is a personal choice which represents a brief but memorable snapshot in my life and going back and revisiting some of my old favourites has been hugely enjoyable and rewarding. I hope you have enjoyed listening to it as much as I enjoyed collating it. Peace.”

Tracklisting:

1) Glass Domain - Interlock
2) Arpanet - NTT DoCoMo
3) B12 - Void / Comm
4) Link - Arcadian
5) Jega - Geometry ( Mu Ziq RMX )
6) Bochum Welt - Radio Propulsive
7) Global Goon - Metel Buffalo
8) Nautilus - Why It Gotta Be So Damn Tough
9) Global Goon - Stans Slaves
10) The Gentle People - Journey ( AFX Care mix )


1) Interlock by Glass Domain (1991)

Anyone that knows me knows that I have two passions that border on obsession, Lego and the Detroit techno outfit known as Drexciya. Drexciya were always shrouded in mystery, they rarely gave interviews and only a handful of photos exist of them online. What is known is that the group mainly comprised of ( before his untimely death ) James Marcel Stinson and on / off unofficial collaborator Gerald Donald. Glass Domain was Donald under his own steam and Interlock is his nod to the wondrous Danish interlocking brick system which I love so much.

2) NTT Do Co Mo by Arpanet (2002)

Gerald Donald again, this time disguised as Arpanet. NTT Do Co Mo is a lumbering techno monster which eerily predicts a future when man, machine and wireless internet are entwined together as one unit enabling human to human information exchange. 13 years after release, and with the advent of social media and with technology getting even more and more compact, Donald may have been onto something.

3) Void/ Comm by B12 (1993)

Along with Autechre, The Black Dog and Aphex Twin, B12 were among some of my all time favourite producers on the mighty Warp Records back in the early to mid 90s. Void/ Comm takes its name from the reaction test given to suspected Replicants by Bladerunners in the 1982 cult movie of the same name. The track features on the album Time Tourist, this truly was the golden age for Warp Records and lovers of early electronic music.

4) Arcadian by Link (1994)

Recently voted as the best electronic compilation by a major music magazine, Artificial Intelligence II was a who's who of established Warp Records artists as well as being a showcase for some new fresh talent. Arcadian by Link ( aka Mark Pritchard ) is taken from that album and is without doubt the standout track...and that's no mean feat considering the quality on display here. It has that perfect balance of light and shade and seamlessly ebbs and flows back and forth during its near 10 minute journey. Sheer perfection.

5) Geometry ( u-ziq Remix ) by Jega (2001)

During the tail end of the 1990's and with the advent of the new millenuim, I found myself increasingly spending more time exploring alternative music and new labels outside of the realms of D&B. One such label that regularly caught my ears was Planet Mu. Label boss Mike Paradinas took what was already a stunning track, Geometry, by Planet Mu regular Jega and added his own unique flair. The result is a timeless masterpiece which somehow manages to evoke some of the magic and mystery of the universe and the mathematics and equations potentially needed to get there and explore it.

6) Radio Propulsive by Bochum Welt (2003)

Bochum Welt first came to my attention back in 2001 when a track called Fortune Green was featured on the Rephlex Records compilation The Braindance Coincidence. The track had a sort of sombre melancholy which I really identified with at the time and I always looked out for new material ever since that moment. Radio Propulsive is more driven than what I had heard before but it still has that unmistakable uniqueness which originally peaked my interest.

7) Metel Buffalo by Global Goon (2003)

Much mystery surrounded the Global Goon, it was often said that he or she didn't actually exist and that it was in fact Aphex Twin under a different name. With the advent of each piece of new music, more rumours began to surface. It wasn't until later on that the Global Goon was finally revealed to be an artist in his own right who just happened to share a flat with the Rephlex Records label bosses Aphex Twin and Grant Wilson-Claridge. What a touch! Great music though, always solid and one of my favourite artists on the label.

8) Why It Gotta Be So Damn Tough? by Nautilis (2002)

The saying, "always leave them wanting more" has never been more true, especially when it comes to describing the closing track off of the 2002 album Are You An Axolotl by Nautilis. Clocking in at barely 2 minutes, Why It Gotta Be So Damn Tough is sheer quality for all of its 124 seconds of glitchy goodness and tops off nicely an album which is already full of highs.

9) Stans Slaves by Global Goon (2002)

It's that man again, told you I was a fan. Global Goons music has been described as "easy listening, ambient funk fusion" and despite that being a bit of a mouthful, it kinda sums up what it is. Warm and dreamlike synths and catchy melodic lines laid over tight beats and distant voices. The track is taken from the album Vatican Nitez which is a personal favourite of mine and I knew I wanted a track from it to feature on my second DuskDubs outing but deciding on which one wasn't easy as I love 'em all!

10) Journey ( AFX Care mix ) by The Gentle People (1996)

I must confess, I never caught this remix first time around, I was probably too busy raving week in, week out during the mid 90's to notice, more fool me but I discovered this gem much later on when it featured on the Aphex Twin remix compilation album 26 Mixes For Cash in 2003. The title is very apt, this track is a journey and for 10 minutes it builds and builds, layer upon layer, constantly evolving before falling away beautifully in typical Aphex Twin style and is in my opinion, one of the highlights of his staggering career so far.

This week we welcome back previous selector and DuskDubs friend, Flatliner.
Most of us know him from his days spent in the Ram Records camp who were a massive influence on the Jungle/Drum and Bass scene back in the early 90's and still are to this day. He produced classics like 'The Big Bang' and 'No Boundaries' (https://www.ramrecords.com/shop/download/ramm09d )
Recently Flatliner took a trip to Tresor, world famous nightclub in Berlin, some say the spiritual home of Techno, the history of the club dates back to 1988 when the electronic label 'Interfisch' opened the UFO club in Berlin. UFO was the original centre of Berlin house and Techno.
He was also very lucky enough to attend one of the events of the year - The new Aphex Twin album listening party (DuskDubs are very jealous).
So, although Flatliners roots very much lie with the jungle/dnb vibe of the early 90's, This volume shows us a very different side to the man we all know and love, it's also very clear to see in his selections, the time spent at club 'Tresor' and that very special Apex Twin gig, plays a massive part in this Volume.
Flatliner is also producing music again, this time, a more techno / deep house flavour is coming from his mind. We highly recommend you hit his soundcloud page to check his current projects.

Flatliner is now very much part of the DuskDubs family and it's always a pleasure for us to give him the floor.

Here are a few words from the man himself, and we are fortunate to have a track by track commentary from him also:


“It has been a huge honour selecting again for DuskDubs and as with my first volume, each track here is a personal choice which represents a brief but memorable snapshot in my life and going back and revisiting some of my old favourites has been hugely enjoyable and rewarding. I hope you have enjoyed listening to it as much as I enjoyed collating it. Peace.”

Tracklisting:

1) Glass Domain - Interlock
2) Arpanet - NTT DoCoMo
3) B12 - Void / Comm
4) Link - Arcadian
5) Jega - Geometry ( Mu Ziq RMX )
6) Bochum Welt - Radio Propulsive
7) Global Goon - Metel Buffalo
8) Nautilus - Why It Gotta Be So Damn Tough
9) Global Goon - Stans Slaves
10) The Gentle People - Journey ( AFX Care mix )


1) Interlock by Glass Domain (1991)

Anyone that knows me knows that I have two passions that border on obsession, Lego and the Detroit techno outfit known as Drexciya. Drexciya were always shrouded in mystery, they rarely gave interviews and only a handful of photos exist of them online. What is known is that the group mainly comprised of ( before his untimely death ) James Marcel Stinson and on / off unofficial collaborator Gerald Donald. Glass Domain was Donald under his own steam and Interlock is his nod to the wondrous Danish interlocking brick system which I love so much.

2) NTT Do Co Mo by Arpanet (2002)

Gerald Donald again, this time disguised as Arpanet. NTT Do Co Mo is a lumbering techno monster which eerily predicts a future when man, machine and wireless internet are entwined together as one unit enabling human to human information exchange. 13 years after release, and with the advent of social media and with technology getting even more and more compact, Donald may have been onto something.

3) Void/ Comm by B12 (1993)

Along with Autechre, The Black Dog and Aphex Twin, B12 were among some of my all time favourite producers on the mighty Warp Records back in the early to mid 90s. Void/ Comm takes its name from the reaction test given to suspected Replicants by Bladerunners in the 1982 cult movie of the same name. The track features on the album Time Tourist, this truly was the golden age for Warp Records and lovers of early electronic music.

4) Arcadian by Link (1994)

Recently voted as the best electronic compilation by a major music magazine, Artificial Intelligence II was a who's who of established Warp Records artists as well as being a showcase for some new fresh talent. Arcadian by Link ( aka Mark Pritchard ) is taken from that album and is without doubt the standout track...and that's no mean feat considering the quality on display here. It has that perfect balance of light and shade and seamlessly ebbs and flows back and forth during its near 10 minute journey. Sheer perfection.

5) Geometry ( u-ziq Remix ) by Jega (2001)

During the tail end of the 1990's and with the advent of the new millenuim, I found myself increasingly spending more time exploring alternative music and new labels outside of the realms of D&B. One such label that regularly caught my ears was Planet Mu. Label boss Mike Paradinas took what was already a stunning track, Geometry, by Planet Mu regular Jega and added his own unique flair. The result is a timeless masterpiece which somehow manages to evoke some of the magic and mystery of the universe and the mathematics and equations potentially needed to get there and explore it.

6) Radio Propulsive by Bochum Welt (2003)

Bochum Welt first came to my attention back in 2001 when a track called Fortune Green was featured on the Rephlex Records compilation The Braindance Coincidence. The track had a sort of sombre melancholy which I really identified with at the time and I always looked out for new material ever since that moment. Radio Propulsive is more driven than what I had heard before but it still has that unmistakable uniqueness which originally peaked my interest.

7) Metel Buffalo by Global Goon (2003)

Much mystery surrounded the Global Goon, it was often said that he or she didn't actually exist and that it was in fact Aphex Twin under a different name. With the advent of each piece of new music, more rumours began to surface. It wasn't until later on that the Global Goon was finally revealed to be an artist in his own right who just happened to share a flat with the Rephlex Records label bosses Aphex Twin and Grant Wilson-Claridge. What a touch! Great music though, always solid and one of my favourite artists on the label.

8) Why It Gotta Be So Damn Tough? by Nautilis (2002)

The saying, "always leave them wanting more" has never been more true, especially when it comes to describing the closing track off of the 2002 album Are You An Axolotl by Nautilis. Clocking in at barely 2 minutes, Why It Gotta Be So Damn Tough is sheer quality for all of its 124 seconds of glitchy goodness and tops off nicely an album which is already full of highs.

9) Stans Slaves by Global Goon (2002)

It's that man again, told you I was a fan. Global Goons music has been described as "easy listening, ambient funk fusion" and despite that being a bit of a mouthful, it kinda sums up what it is. Warm and dreamlike synths and catchy melodic lines laid over tight beats and distant voices. The track is taken from the album Vatican Nitez which is a personal favourite of mine and I knew I wanted a track from it to feature on my second DuskDubs outing but deciding on which one wasn't easy as I love 'em all!

10) Journey ( AFX Care mix ) by The Gentle People (1996)

I must confess, I never caught this remix first time around, I was probably too busy raving week in, week out during the mid 90's to notice, more fool me but I discovered this gem much later on when it featured on the Aphex Twin remix compilation album 26 Mixes For Cash in 2003.

This week we welcome Jak Barsby to the family. This mixtape has been a long time in the offering. From the initial request, Jak has given his all to this process. He has meticulously gone through every record box, shelf, hard drive and shoe box to grab the perfect tunes to give us that perfect insight into him as an artist and a man, and to give the listeners an incredible journey across many genres.
Jak and his fellow party starters 'Playground' have been tearing up Manchester for a good while now, which when you look at the calibre of personnel they have in their team, is not surprising. Not just techno, but a real passion for music in general. Perfect for Dusk Dubs.

Here are a few words from the man himself, and we are fortunate to have a track by track commentary from him also:

"First of all a big thanks to #DuskDubs for asking me to do this volume , it really is a pleasure to work with people so into the music and was great fun to dig through tunes I wouldn’t usually get a chance to play in a mix. I love the fact that all the tunes are played in full hence this very unusual and diverse selection of songs I have chosen.

As I said, I have gone for a complete eclectic mix of songs that have either inspired me or just given me great memories over the years and songs that I know I would rarely if ever get the chance to play in a club. It definitely is more euphoric than a lot of the dusk dubs series that I have listened to but I hope it works for you. I have started with the older tracks that mean a lot to me and then move into a more electronic feel.

I hope you have enjoyed listening to it as much as I have putting it together."

Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill
I chose this as its one of the oldest songs in my collection. It was released in 1940 and whenever it pops up it just puts me in a great place. I have played this randomly at after parties and it always gets a smile, for one reason or another.

Mamas & Papas - California Dreaming
This song is just incredible and timeless. There have been some great moments in the early hours after some epic parties where this has cropped up and it always seems to give people a bit of energy when we are all beginning to flag.

Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man
Son of a preacher man has always been one of my favourite tracks and a tune I could listen to on repeat and have done when trying to sleep after a heavy night many times back in the Derby days. Makes me smile every time I hear it and reminds me of some bloody brilliant nights.

Buffalo Springfield – For What It’s Worth
A feel good song that never gets old. Whenever I’m feeling a little bit down this always puts me back in a good place. I just love it.

Unknown - The Light
I stumbled across this and the words just get me thinking. I love how the percussion comes in and feel you could take this anywhere in a set. It would have been a perfect starting tune but as the mix continues I think I had to put the starting two tunes in before this.

Alle Farben - Intro
I really wanted to include an Alle Farben track as I have huge respect for him as a producer and DJ. A very talented DJ who’s only getting better day after day.

Air - La Femme D'Argent
A pure classic in my opinion and one of my favourite chill-out tunes. It’s from the album Moon Safari and if you don’t have this in your collection I urge you to give it a go. There are not many albums out there where every tune is amazing but I personally think this is one. This tune in particular is my favourite along with Kelly Watch the Stars. Give it a go :)

Psychonauts – Circles
Psychonauts was a band I had never heard of until recently and had no idea one of the duo later went on to form UNKLE with James Lavelle. Circles is by far the favourite track I have heard by them and a song that is regularly played in my house.

Plaid - Nafovanny
I feel this song just fits the Dusk Dubs sound and takes you on a journey. It’s relatively new and was released around August 2014. I don’t actually know a lot about the artist Plaid but this song is just incredible.

Moby - Lie Down In Darkness
I had to include a Moby track, it just felt right. I chose lie down in darkness as it's not one of his famous tracks. And maybe a few people haven’t heard it. I have been playing the Chris Liebing remix for a long time so it felt right to get the original in as I was trying to stay away from techno as much as I can ;)

Underworld - 8 Ball
A pure classic and my favourite track from the beach soundtrack which has been played as much as anything on my travels. Underworld as well are just genius hence the selection.

Recondite - Konter
I had to include Recondite, I have tried to stay away from what I would usually play in a club but I thought a cheeky 20 minutes of three of my favourite techno artists needed to be included. I just can’t play a set at the moment without one of his tracks appearing in it. Konter is from his latest album Iffy on Innervisions. His sound is distinct and completely unique. He was a breath of fresh air when he first appeared on the scene and 18 months down the line is still as exceptional as day one. He was a highlight of Awakenings festival for me last year and I look forward to seeing him again.

Barnt - All Worlds All Times
Another distinctive artist and personal favourite of mine is Barnt. Raw driving sounds that just make you want to dance. His build ups are fantastic, every tune has so many elements and this is one of my favourites.

It's Only (DJ Koze Remix) – Matthew Herbert
What a combination, Koze and Herbert, you expect big things before you even hear the track and Koze did not disappoint on the remix.


The next few tracks are a bit of a homage to Andrew Weatherall. Whether it’s his own productions, collaborations or tracks that I have heard him play.

Sudden Death of Stars – Supernovae
I heard this I think in his boiler room set but don’t hold me to that. It’s a fantastic piece of music from a psychedelic rock band from France. An inspiring piece of music I’m sure you will all agree.

Andrew Weatherall - Selective Walking
Selective Walking is one of my favourite Weatherall tracks. There are so many it really was hard to choose one but this won the battle. My musical idol that I hope to have a beer with one day.

The Sabres of Paradise - Wilmot
An experimental group formed in 1992, which included Andrew Weatherall, Jagz Kooner and Gary Burns. Wilmot stands out from their other tracks and just love where it takes me whenever I listen to it.

Dominik Eulberg & Gabriel Ananda - Friend of All That Lives
Two of my favourite artists on the lighter side of the techno world. Fantastic melodies that always take you on a journey with this song being one of the best.

Celestial Choir - Stand On the Word (Larry Levan Mix)
Another man that needs no introduction, a house legend who can fall in the same bracket as Frankie Knuckles. He’s in the dance music hall of fame and you can see why. I chose ‘Stand on the Word’ as I love the piano and choir vocals. It’s such a happy tune and a perfect song for me to end this mix with.

Here’s a few words from the man himself….
I'm a hobbyist DJ and have been producing music on and off since 1994. I release all my music in free, open source formats which you can check out at www.demodulated.com I learned how to compose by participating in the MOD/S3M BBS culture of the 90s… so open source and sample sharing are an important creative facet I'm compelled to pay forward. I also have a neglected blog where I host some of my old rave mixtape collection at www.mixtapes.demodulated.com.
It's a true honor to participate alongside such accomplished and talented folks. Big respect to Gids, Harrison, and Camel for their philosophy of mixing quality tunes from start to finish. I hope you enjoy my track-list. I tried my best to bring a good variety of styles that fit the theme, and squeeze in some humor and whimsy.

Track List
1: 2 Nu - This Is Ponderous
2: Deee Lite - Apple Juice Kissing
3: Bjork - I Miss You (Dobie Rub Part One Sunshine Mix)
4: Del tha Funkee Homosapien - The Wacky World of Rapid Transit
5: Mouse On Mars - Subsequence
6: Legion of Green Men - Extended Shadows
7: Brian Demodulated - HS-Link
8: Wagon Christ - Shadows
9: Maxo - Peppy Hare Is Jealous Of My Ride
10: Mrs. Jynx - Vlodrum
11: D'Cruze - Sega Rally (Trip Hop Mix)
12: Beastie Boys - Ricky's Theme
13: Shpongle - Shpongle Falls
14: The Grid - Golden Dawn

1: 2 Nu - This Is Ponderous
In elementary school I used to fall asleep listening to the "Top 10 at 10"on the radio and in 1989 this utterly insane song dominated the #1 spot for weeks and weeks. I never forgot it and eagerly bought the album Ponderous last year. It's kind of John Lennon meets Yello which is a glorious combination. Can you see what I'm saying?

2: Deee Lite - Apple Juice Kissing
Most people think of Deee Lite as a one hit wonder for Groove Is In The Heart but they've got 4 albums of pure sunshine. They're a diverse group with some very legit house, dub, and chillout tunes. Miss Lady Kier is a vocalist with a lot of attitude and sass which is conveyed sensually in this summery song.

3: Bjork - I Miss You (Dobie Rub Part One Sunshine Mix)
Bjork is weird and people think I'm weird for loving her weirdness, but I love her weird weirdness like a weird weirdo. This one is a pretty straightforward remix of an originally bonkers salsa/big band song on a previous album (with spastic music video by John Kricfalusi of Ren and Stimpy fame). Now it's a sort of wine bar/social engineering/come hither track.

4: Del tha Funkee Homosapien - The Wacky World of Rapid Transit
Del was already articulate, clever, and very funny even though he was just 19 when he recorded his album I Wish My Brother George Was Here. Great rhythm and timing, some nonstandard verse structures, and great funky backing tracks that never take themselves too seriously.

5: Mouse On Mars – Subsequence
Like miniscule martian mammals sneaking through your space kitchen, this tune is rife with snark and suspicion. Techno with clarinets and pianos and guttural squeaks. Oh crumbs, did one just run under the space fridge?

6: Legion of Green Men - Extended Shadows
If I'm not mistaken these guys were the first electronic act to win a Canadian Juno award for their album, Spatial Specific. Everyone was in love with their robotic song Synaptic Response but for me this track was the stand-out with its acidic squishing’s and 7/8 time signature. When the vocals come in you'll feel a cool breeze blow past the back of your neck.

7: Brian Demodulated - HS-Link
A synthpop tune by yours truly, I made this song with the goal of using as few instruments and the lowest polyphony possible. This was inspired by the likes of Com Truise, Joy Division, and Jan Hammer, and is named after an dial-up old modem file transfer protocol that let you upload, download, and chat all at the same time.

8: Wagon Christ - Shadows
A haunting, brooding, thoughtful, and breathtaking song that could have blossomed without percussion but ends up a proper head nodder. Your bass bins will sneak up on you like a stealthy prankster.

9: Maxo - Peppy Hare Is Jealous Of My Ride
One of the most impressive composers I've ever had the pleasure of hearing, Maxo is a true genius and a master of modern jazz. He takes ingredients from swing, acid jazz, funk, and video games in equal proportions and serves up their unholy smorgasbord on a pixelated platter.
10: Mrs. Jynx - Vlodrum
Could the album art for her album The Standoffish Cat be the most apropos ever? Google it and find out. The whole album is sneaky, naughty, and very feline. You'll want to smack her coldwave synth tunes on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper.

11: D'Cruze - Sega Rally (Trip Hop Mix)
As a childhood video game addict and raver-to-be I couldn't pass up this Club Saturn album featuring remixes of Sega video game tunes by the likes of Remarc, Kenny Ken, Mr. Time, and Marshall Jefferson. Rave and junglism is on this unlikely disc as well as some dubby downtempo that all makes use of the games' raspy, low-fi samples. A very silly album, a collector's piece, and a lucky find.

12: Beastie Boys - Ricky's Theme
Not only did these 3 Jewish boys impose their own standards on rap music but they also played their own instruments and dabbled in jazz and punk. I always found this track off Ill Communication to be especially pretty with its shimmering guitar refrains.

13: Shpongle - Shpongle Falls
One of my favourite bands on earth and beyond, Shpongle combines world music with psychedelica and electronica. This first track off their Are You Shpongled? album takes dreamy flutes, plucky harps, dubby basslines, restrained percussion, and throws it all in a roiling acidic cauldron.

14: The Grid - Golden Dawn
A stunningly powerful song with a huge surprise you'll not find anywhere else in electronic music. It's a million miles away from (but just as great as) the upbeat trance and techno of the rest of their Evolver album. What else could I possibly have ended this mix with? Surrender yourself and let it sweep you up into the sunrise.

This week dropping off his selections into the #DuskDubs studio, we welcome Soundafected. Paul has been DJing since the 1990s, inspired by DJ’s such as Carl Cox (The 1st mixtape he ever heard), and DJ Easygroove and DJ Ratty who would entice him out, like thousands of others, every weekend to events such as Devotion or Essence, or to the legendary venue that is ‘The Sanctuary’ in Milton Keynes. During the mid to late 90s he was part of a small group of DJs pushing jungle and Drum n Bass in Cornwall, playing in the 2nd rooms of Maximum Sensory Overload, and the legendary Shirehorse Inn. All this led to Paul creating and co-promoting a small night called ‘Soundz Twisted’.

Here are a few words from the man himself…..

“Hello and welcome to my volume of the mighty #DuskDubs, please enjoy my selection of 12 tracks that all have significant early evening memories for me, whether it be with friends, family or just by myself. If I was to describe all these memories you'd be reading this for weeks, suffice to say…. inspirations are my mum, dad and grandad who all lived through their own adversities. My musical heroes would be long list, but my top five would certainly include Ben E King, Lois Armstrong, Otis Reading, NWA and Public Enemy.

So please, sit back, relax and watch the sunset while you listen to the soundtrack to my perfect dusk. “

This week, we present Niccolo Machiavelli with an Influences and Atmospheres showcase. A London based producer of Ambient to Dub Techno through to House, he has been on our radar for a long time. His production is out of this world, and his knowledge of music is something we respect highly. This is a very thoughtful collection of records, and more importantly to Dusk Dubs, it’s an insight into what makes our selector tick. Thanks again to Niccolo Machiavelli for his time.

Here are a few words from this week’s selector, and an in depth commentary from him to accompany the mixtape.

“Crafting this showcase has been an absolute privilege and thank you so much to Tommy for letting me get involved.
My rationale for my showcase is this, to think about one track I have produced and all of the influences that went into it, tracks I have heard throughout the years, be it on systems, in computer games or on pirate radio back in the day. Each track has a special element that I will try and explain in words.
Before I begin, I always remember hearing an interview with Simon Huxtable (Aural Imbalance) where he said above every other element in music; he valued the atmospheres created in tracks. This statement always stuck with me and when I produce I always remember to put the atmosphere at the forefront of the track. So enough of that, now for the music!”

1. Carl Craig – A Wonderful Life: Perfect atmosphere, be it the ambient pad that washes in the background, the gorgeous synth (pluck?) at 0.39 onwards and the ghostly chords throughout. I listened to this track walking around at night in Kyoto and it just blew me away.
2. Coldplay – Midnight: For the record, and I’m not saying this to be trendy, I don’t really like Coldplay. Chris and co. never really did much for me. But this track is just beautiful. In terms of production the build up that begins at 3:00 and hits its crescendo at 4:15 is just perfect atmosphere, Aural Imbalance would be proud of it himself!
3. Loscil – The Making of Grief Point: I’m a new convert to Loscil and found myself listening to this in bed at 2am. The ambience of this track, combined with the dialogue which is so deep and multi layered makes it the standout track on the album. Does it get any more minimal and bleak?
4. Jesper Kydd – Desmond Miles: Yep, I’m a game geek, and it doesn’t get much better than the Assassins Creed franchise, which I truly love. This track just knocked me out when I heard it in game, production values mixed between traditional sounds and dark, almost droney atmospheres. The muted bell sounds. Jesper is such a versatile producer and the whole Assassin’s Creed soundtrack was brilliant, but this one stood out for its blend of elements.
5. Jeremy Soule – Frostfall: Another game score, this time from Skyrim. Sorry for the repetition, but it’s just so damn atmospheric. The lead strings are picture perfect, and the ambiences and washes in the background just set out what Skyrim is all about, bleak and icy, but warm in parts.
6. Muonos – Say Nothing: Nothing was more atmospheric musically in my formative years than the Good Looking Records sound, so I was surprised to hear this piece on the brilliant compilation Slow Living Vol2 from Peco at Drift Deeper Records, released 10 years or so after GLO’s heyday. Modern production values, that low slung drum programme with the most gorgeous ambience, washes, flutes and piano licks.
7. Fever Ray – If I Had a Heart: So we switch things up. This track is raw. Fever Ray’s voice is raw. The scene from Breaking Bad where I first heard this was raw (Jesse’s nervous breakdown driving go-karts). The vocal is mad, from low to high and back, and the lead chord work is so dark and droney. Perfect Breaking Bad music.
8. React 2 Rhythm – All or Nothing: I heard this on a London pirate radio station in about 1992, I must have been 12. This sounded like alien music, that opening synth sound and the vocal, leading into a pretty dark main body of the track, all with the gorgeous atmospheric elements. React 2 Rhythm did one album, 8 tracks long. All of them were brilliant, this one stands out for this showcase.
9. Aural Imbalance – Self Oscillation: The man himself, the producer I most closely look towards when producing myself. Words can’t describe the atmospheres he has created on this track, so I’m going to cop out and say just listen.
10. Nitin Sawnhey – Breathing Light: Musical perfection in every way, shape and form, but the two samples he uses get me every time, the Sarajevo news report and Mandela shape the way I try and use samples in my productions, historic dialogue, political dialogue, it all works. I remember when this track played at cocktail hour at my wedding, a friend came up to me and said “you know this is your wedding, you even got bloody drum and bass played!”.
11. Vincent I Watson – Sagitaria: Back to ambience and atmosphere, and Vince is always on point with his use of washes and pads, this track is pure bliss, one I’ve used as a set starter for my podcast for Deeptakt Records. The subtle movement in the lead keys compliments the wash so perfectly.
12. Deadbeat – Peace & Love: Paul St Hilaire is enough atmosphere for any track, but the soft chord line coming in at around 1:16 is so well programmed and implemented, understated but on a club system, completely off the hook!
13. Niccolo Machiavelli – Good Old Days (Ethereal edit): So we end with the culmination of all of these influences in atmosphere, my track released on Deeptakt in January as part of my Graphite EP. I have tried to embrace the layering of pads, washes, samples and sounds to create a moving, living, breathing atmosphere. In my mind when I hear it I can see sunlight, sunrise, orange and a hint of green (from a perspective of synaesthesia). I like the way the sample fits in, quite melancholic, and the dub influence at the end with the muted echoes ends the track nicely.

3. Loscil – The Making of Grief Point: I’m a new convert to Loscil and found myself listening to this in bed at 2am. The ambience of this track, combined with the dialogue which is so deep and multi layered makes it the standout track on the album. Does it get any more minimal and bleak?
4. Jesper Kydd – Desmond Miles: Yep, I’m a game geek, and it doesn’t get much better than the Assassins Creed franchise, which I truly love. This track just knocked me out when I heard it in game, production values mixed between traditional sounds and dark, almost droney atmospheres. The muted bell sounds. Jesper is such a versatile producer and the whole Assassin’s Creed soundtrack was brilliant, but this one stood out for its blend of elements.
5. Jeremy Soule – Frostfall: Another game score, this time from Skyrim. Sorry for the repetition, but it’s just so damn atmospheric. The lead strings are picture perfect, and the ambiences and washes in the background just set out what Skyrim is all about, bleak and icy, but warm in parts.
6. Muonos – Say Nothing: Nothing was more atmospheric musically in my formative years than the Good Looking Records sound, so I was surprised to hear this piece on the brilliant compilation Slow Living Vol2 from Peco at Drift Deeper Records, released 10 years or so after GLO’s heyday. Modern production values, that low slung drum programme with the most gorgeous ambience, washes, flutes and piano licks.
7. Fever Ray – If I Had a Heart: So we switch things up. This track is raw. Fever Ray’s voice is raw. The scene from Breaking Bad where I first heard this was raw (Jesse’s nervous breakdown driving go-karts). The vocal is mad, from low to high and back, and the lead chord work is so dark and droney. Perfect Breaking Bad music.
8. React 2 Rhythm – All or Nothing: I heard this on a London pirate radio station in about 1992, I must have been 12. This sounded like alien music, that opening synth sound and the vocal, leading into a pretty dark main body of the track, all with the gorgeous atmospheric elements. React 2 Rhythm did one album, 8 tracks long. All of them were brilliant, this one stands out for this showcase.
9. Aural Imbalance – Self Oscillation: The man himself, the producer I most closely look towards when producing myself. Words can’t describe the atmospheres he has created on this track, so I’m going to cop out and say just listen.
10. Nitin Sawnhey – Breathing Light: Musical perfection in every way, shape and form, but the two samples he uses get me every time, the Sarajevo news report and Mandela shape the way I try and use samples in my productions, historic dialogue, political dialogue, it all works. I remember when this track played at cocktail hour at my wedding, a friend came up to me and said “you know this is your wedding, you even got bloody drum and bass played!”.
11. Vincent I Watson – Sagitaria: Back to ambience and atmosphere, and Vince is always on point with his use of washes and pads, this track is pure bliss, one I’ve used as a set starter for my podcast for Deeptakt Records. The subtle movement in the lead keys compliments the wash so perfectly.
12. Deadbeat – Peace & Love: Paul St Hilaire is enough atmosphere for any track, but the soft chord line coming in at around 1:16 is so well programmed and implemented, understated but on a club system, completely off the hook!
13. Niccolo Machiavelli – Good Old Days (Ethereal edit): So we end with the culmination of all of these influences in atmosphere, my track released on Deeptakt in January as part of my Graphite EP. I have tried to embrace the layering of pads, washes, samples and sounds to create a moving, living, breathing atmosphere. In my mind when I hear it I can see sunlight, sunrise, orange and a hint of green (from a perspective of synaesthesia). I like the way the sample fits in, quite melancholic, and the dub influence at the end with the muted echoes ends the track nicely.

As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. I then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we welcome back Dusk Dubs resident General Camel. In the past he’s been rightly referred to as the Dusk Dubs recruitment officer aka ‘The Ninja’, and of course as a third vital cog in the Dusk Dubs machine. However, it must be remembered that the General, since discovering alternative music scenes back in the day, is 100% focused on spreading the word of “Good Music”. His appetite and passion for discovering, informing and sometimes simply listening to music is unquestionable, all genres, all artists, all vibes are open to the General and that’s what we love about him. His previous volumes are a testament to that, always classy, always intelligent and always full of “Good Music”…. And this one is no different ……

Here are a few words from the man himself….

“Well YR-02 of the #DuskDubs mix series has kicked off with a Bang! Already we've seen some amazing mixtape's, some great selectors, with some top selections......
It's a real privilege for me working with guys like Tommy and Gidman who are so dedicated and who both put their heart and souls into making #DuskDubs the best it can possibly be. It was clear for us all to see after YR-01 that people loved what we were doing. So when we discussed continuing and putting out YR-02 it really was a No-brainer. The #DuskDubs family is growing each and every week and I love being a part of such a like-minded group of people, no egos, no attitude, no bullshit, it really is all about one thing......'The Music'

So it's always a pleasure to drop of a few of my favourite tracks to #DuskDubs HQ for Tommy to work his magic on.....

'So sit back, Crack open a beer and enjoy the music'….. The General “

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. I then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

This week we have the pleasure of presenting another new selector, wicked DJ and #vibesformiles resident to the #DuskDubs series… Johnny Earl. He may well be a new #DuskDubs selector but he’s been a full-time listener and supporter since our inception. “Why’s it taken so long” I hear you say? Well, Mr. Earl doesn’t do things lightly and nor do we. So after we finally met up with him on one of #RCFF/Music Mondays infamous boat parties along the River Thames, that real kindred passion in music was realised, and it was at that moment we knew, we had to find time to get him in!

NOW !! is that time…… Step up the one and only Johnny Earl


Here are some words from this weeks selector:

“ I'll keep this short and sweet(ish) as I'm a firm believer in letting the music do the talking and after all, isn't that what this whole project is really about?

If you know me, then you'll already know all about my deep love for virtually all forms of dance music from about 1988 onwards. It pretty much defines who I am and has played a massive part in making me the bloke I am today. But this project had me out of my comfort zone, which I actually found very refreshing, challenging and extremely gratifying, as I sifted through decades of dub-influenced music, trying to locate those forgotten gems that had once mesmerised me for whatever reason, whilst also striving to maintain the ridiculously high standards that had been set by previous selectors.

I was invited to submit my selection roughly 6 months ago and I explained that whilst I was very flattered, honoured and humbled to be asked, I felt I would need a lot of time to delve into my archives and rediscover the tracks that I felt are worthy of a #DuskDubs submission. I also needed time to get my 'Hardcore/Jungle/Garage/Old Skool head' off and my 'Dub/Ska/Reggae/Breaks/Ambient/Melodic chill-out head' on, which didn't happen very easily, let me tell you! It did reawaken part of my musical mind that had been dormant for several years though and opened up a whole world of tunes, genres and sub-genres that I'd badly neglected for too long and for this reason alone I can't thank Gidman, Camel and Harrison enough.

It's been a real pleasure getting the buzz from hearing so many great tracks that had fallen by the wayside. Tracks that evoke so many memories of my childhood when my Dad used to have his Ska and Reggae tapes on full whack every Sunday morning. Memories of my times in Ibiza and more specifically, watching the sun set on the rocks outside Café Del Mar with my pals whilst Jose Padilla gently serenaded us. And of course, those early rave memories when it was all about the breaks, the bleeps and most importantly, the bass! And speaking of bass, this is probably the only theme that underpins my whole selection. To me, a good bassline is essential in all forms of music and can undoubtedly be the difference between an average tune and an absolute classic. Everything I've chosen has that magic formula, so make sure you whack the bass up on your system before you hit the play button!

Anyways, let's get on with it, shall we? I hope you enjoy the music. The whole selection process has been a real privilege. Love and respect must go to all the #DuskDubs family, big up each and every one of you. I feel truly honoured and humbled to be part of such a knowledgeable, open-minded, decent group of people. Except for Barny Wink of course. He's just a wrong'un :-) “

We are extremely privileged to have the ‘Cosmic Bridge’ label boss; amazing producer and remixer; in-demand DJ; and all-round talent that is Om Unit selecting for us this week. If you track back through YR-01 and YR-02 #DuskDubs mixtapes you’ll find all kinds of selectors choosing Om Unit tracks for their #DuskDubs journey, so it’s the perfect continuation to have the man behind all those incredible beats selecting for this weeks mixtape.

Grounded in the jungalistic roots of the early 90’s, he previously represented the UK at the DMC World DJ Championships under his turntablist moniker ‘2Tall’. Not long after, ‘Om Unit’ was born, producing tracks that appeared on diverse labels such as Dublins’ All City Records, Tectonic Recordings, Fabric Records, Berlins’ Project Mooncircle, Terrorhythm, his own imprint Cosmic Bridge Records, and of course more recently with his own album ‘Threads’ on Civil Music and further releases on Metalheadz.

It is with the Goldie & the Metalheadz camp that he has certainly found his spiritual home and in two weeks time he drops the “Inversions” EP on the legendary label. This EP gathers together all his influences, London, Chicago and Detroit with textures formed from Jungle, Drum & Bass, Techno and Footwork. He has also incorporated into this production samples from 15 year old DAT tapes out of the Metalheadz camp, supplied by the head honcho Goldie himself. In Om Unit’s own words… “This project is not an exercise in technical skill, nor a showcase or automated sound design. It’s a blueprint of what could be another way”.

It is the particular influence of Jungle, which he immersed himself in 15-20 years ago, that we have asked him to present for his #DuskDubs volume. A genre that clearly has a special place in his heart and memory and still influences him to this day. Coming off the back of a successful USA/Canada tour, he’s been digging deep in his collection and supplied us with a serious collection of his “Jungle Favourites”.

Here are a few words from the man himself….

“Essentially this is a collection of some oldskool Jungle faves, less obvious stuff with a more atmospheric vibe.. Something i've always been drawn to, the more deeper meditative side of jungle, and in fact most music in general. 2014 has been a great year for me in terms of celebrating this via my own work and DJ sets, and it's a pleasure to be able to showcase some personal favourites via a platform such as #DuskDubs.”

Here are some words for this weeks selector:

" Where do you start when doing a volume for Dusk Dubs? So much amazing music around and so many musical inspirations

So I have chosen tracks that are special to me and remind me of great moments in my life.

Some real classic tracks that never grow old and some beats that still sound ground-breaking now.

Thanks for listening and enjoy the ride

Artikal x "

Wouh - Nicolas Jaar
Nicolas Jaar for me is one of the most innovative and creative producers in the scene so it was hard to choose one of his tracks but Wouh is a real treat

More than Ever People – Levitation
This track reminds me of magic moments in Ibiza. Ibiza is a very special place to me and this track always makes me feel the energy of the island

Don't Push It – Jimpster
DEEP HOUSE, the most battered genre of 2014. I think there is a lot of people that don't really know what it is!! Jimpster is one of the best deep house producers there is and this track always remind me of his album Amour, which is one of my favourite deep house albums

I Chase The Devil - Max Romeo & The Upsetters
Prodigy nailed it with this sample, a class reggae track that reminds me of early nineties dance

Here I Come (Broader Than Broadway) - Barrington Levy
One of my favourite reggae tracks…end of!!!!

Propaganda - Dead Prez
This was a secret track at the end of an album that got discovered in the early hours that always stays in my mind

Dreamy Days - Roots Manuva
One of my favourite UK hip hop artists and this is the track I always go back to. Classic

Stone Cold - Groove Chronicles
Timeless garage classic that shows off the real sound of garage and is silky fucking smooth mate!!!

Hobsons Choice - Jesse Jackson & Mr Reds
This one was always played on my pirate radio show back in the day. Proper white label, had to get in contact with an old pal to get this one

Lords Of The Null – Lines (Foul Play Remix) - Hyper On Experience
For years I never knew what this track was called and always called it 'FUCKING VOODOO MAGIC MAN''. A classic Hardcore track that goes back to when I first got into dance music.

Pulp Fiction - Alex Reece
A drum and bass track that fits perfectly into Dusk Dubs that is as musical as it is dark and dirty

Night Falls - Booka Shade
Booka Shade are up there with the best producers in the last 10 years and this track never blew up like the rest of their tracks and should get the respect it deserves

Month Of Sip - Steve Bug & Cle
A proper after hours minimal trippy beat to twist your mind. I heard Steve Bug Play it at Paramount (The club at the top of centre point in London) as the sun was coming up over London. Perfect.

Les Djinns (Trentemoller Remix) - Djuma Soundsystem
I just love everything about this track and has a lot of special moments attached to it. A master class in production.

Emotions Electric - A guy Called Gerald
A great timeless piece of house music to finish off……Enjoy

This week we welcome back DuskDubs resident Original Gidman. Everybody knows when he steps up with his selections, we are all in for a real treat. Gidman, known by many people as 'The Oracle' recently won most knowledgeable listener at the Music Mondays and RCFF raver awards presented by Billy Bunter & Uncle Dugs and the evidence of that is there for us all to see. If anybody wants a tune ID, needs to know anything about a Dj/Producer or something about a specific Label, it really is a case of 'ASK GIDMAN'
His knowledge of all things music stems back to the late 80's, a time when he was well and truly a Hip-Hop head but all that changed when he went on holiday to Corfu with his best mate Gary, what is now known to Gidman as a life changing night at the Wag Club, where he heard stuff like....Rhythm Is Rhythm - Strings of Life and The 28th Street - I Need A Rhythm for the very 1st time, He came back to the UK a house head!
Then in the early 90's, he became a regular at The Paradise Club for the legendary AWOL nights where he would see the likes of Dj Randall dropping the newest, freshest prototype jungle which also had a massive influence on his musical tastes back then and still do to this day.
In the mid 90's it was the turn of Giles Peterson to introduce Gidman to a lot of different music from around the world at his 'That's How It Is' nights at Bar Rumba, from the likes of LTJ Bukem doing a house set to Jazzanova playing a Hip-Hop/House/Brazilian/jazz set.....That club was just Perfect for him.....
DuskDubs really is a 'Labour Of Love' for Gidman. Here at DuskDubs HQ we see his passion and determination on a daily basis, always coming up with new/fresh ideas, always looking to give any potential selectors a helping hand, always looking to move DuskDubs forward.
We feel very privileged and honoured to have him part of the team, we seriously wouldn't have come this far without him.....BIG UP BRUV!

So, let's get down to business and let Gidman do what he does best - Take you on an amazing journey through sound......DuskDubs Style!

Here is the man himself:

" It’s great to be back for YR-02 and to be offering up another selection of tracks for another #DuskDubs mixtape. Inspired by all the previous mixtapes and amazing selections that we’ve received by our ever-growing #DuskDubs family, i’ve spent the last few months lurking around in my dusty ol’ vaults. So, for this volume, I’ve drawn for some recognisable classics alongside some deeper, less well known beauties…. All oozing that soulful dubbed-out flavour that I love so much….. enjoy. "

1) Scientist – ‘Round 5’ (Greensleeves Records) - Intro sounds come from the protégé of King Tubby, the legendary Scientist, from the classic clash album ‘Scientist vs. Prince Jammy ‎– Big Showdown’ (1980). Instantly recognisable to all those ‘Junglists’ out there – it was sampled both by MC Jay J & DJ Devious D’s on ‘ Time Of Our Lives’ and on Noise Factory’s ‘Be Free’ from their ‘My Mind’ EP – both classic 1992 anthems from the hardcore era ….. “Strictly drum and bass makes you wind up your waist”

2) Zero 7 – ‘Truth & Rights’ (Treacle/Azuli Records) - This cover of Johnny Osbourne’s 1980’sclassic was released on a limited edition 7 inch single back in 2002 as a promotional release to their ‘AnotherLateNight Mix album. Just love those soaring synths and strings – classic Zero 7.

3) Reprazent - New Forms (Roni Size Downtempo Version) (Talkin’ Loud) – Released on Gilles Peterson’s eclectic Talkin’ Loud label back in 1998, during the time when Roni Size, Represent and all the Bristol crew were taking the D&B world by storm, this version featured on the double vinyl release of ‘Watching Windows’. Roni takes it down a notch, switching it from its well know D&B tempo to a slo-down hip-hop pace, and with Bahamadia’s vocals floating through…. A wonderful remix of epic proportion.

4) Stro Elliot - Soul II Stro (Self-Released) – Came across this track a few years back when DJ Jazzy Jeff dropped it in a mixtape for the Los Angeles based club - The ‘Do-Over’. I later tracked it down…. created by a beat producer out of Los Angeles named Stro Elliot on his 2011 ‘Stro's Old Beat Farm’ album which I thoroughly recommend and is still available here… http://stro.bandcamp.com/album/stros-old-beat-farm

5) Om Unit & Disco Nutter – Question (Red Bull Music Academy) – I’m a big fan of Om Unit’s music, and this one is a not so well known track taken from the ‘Not For Sale: Red Bull Music Academy’ compilation album, that showcases the 60 international participants and ten studio team members that appeared at the Red Bull Academy in Madrid back in 2011. Apparently, after witnessing MC MF Doom perform, both Om Unit & Disco Nutter otherwise known as Jim Coles (UK) and Yasen Velchev (BULGARIA) headed into one of the many studios at the academy and created this “neck-snapping monster”, sampling that sci-fi classic The Thing (1952). The track is still available here… http://rbma.bandcamp.com/track/question

6) Stereo MC's - Connected (Future Sound Of London Mix) (Gee Street) - Only released as a limited 12 Inch promo I believe…. this remix by Future Sound Of London back in 1992 removes the vocals by Stereo Mc’s but leaves that great bass line and saxophone refrain intact and adds copious amounts of delays and reverbs creating another dubbed-out.. neck snapping monster …. classic #DuskDubs.

7) Us3 - Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia) (Us3 Smokin' Mix) (Blue Note) – This is taken from the 20th Anniversary Edition of ‘Hand On The Torch’ album which was originally released back in 1993 on the famous Blue Note label. The track features the classic sample of Herbie Hancock's 1964 jazz standard ‘Cantaloupe Island’ and this version slows things down to a more sedate or ‘smokers’ pace…..

8) Scotty - Skank in Bed (Harry J Records) – Originally produced by Harry Johnson back in 1972 for Blue Mountain Records out of Jamaica, in the Harry J Studio…. the same studio that would later witness Bob Marley & The Wailers, Rolling Stones, The Who, and Grace Jones all passing through. ‘Skank in Bed’ was the b-side to a very successful 7 inch by Lorna Bennett who recorded a version of Dusty Springfield's "Breakfast in Bed". For those sample spotters out there, you can hear where
Rebel MC and Double Trouble got their intro for their 1989 hit ‘Street Tuff’.

9) Massive Attack Feat. Tracey Thorn - Protection (The Eno Mix) (Wild Bunch/Virgin Records) – This version was can be found on the original 1995 12 inch release of ‘Protection’, remixed by the great Brian Eno who expands the track into a 9 minute ambient masterpiece. This track also has a personal resonance, as the original version was the track that my wife and I had played for our first wedding dance…. Very special.

10) Pink Floyd – Pigs On The Wing (Part 1) (Harvest/EMI) – Taken from one of my favourite albums by Pink Floyd, the 1977 concept album ‘Animals’. This is part one of two short love songs which book-end the album’s more political content. I got to see Roger Walter’s perform this track in ‘Quadrophonic Sound’ on a perfect summers evening in the middle of Hyde Park, London - a “DuskDubs” memory that has stayed with me ever since. (My artwork for this volume is a nod to the official artwork of “Animals”.

11) Custom Blue - So Low (Cinematic Orchestra Dub) (Island Records) – Released as a ‘promo only’ back in 2002, I reacquainted myself with this fantastic 12 Inch after a digging session in the vaults recently. An amazing ‘Dub’ version by J. Swinscoe’s Cinematic Orchestra who transform the original into a blissed out ‘Balearic’ classic…. Perfect for #DuskDubs

12) Dr. Octagon - Blue Flowers (Mo Wax) – Thanks to some great remixes at the time, this track seemed to cross so many musical boundaries – which was often the case with Mo Wax releases and exactly what I liked about them. Techno artists remixing hip-hop tracks or D&B artists remixing techno tracks…. it was all up for grabs. Dr. Octagon aka Kool Keith previously of Ultramagnetic MC’s fame released both this single and the album ‘Dr. Octagonecologyst’ back in 1995/1996. His lyrics and production were often labelled as experimental or unconventional, or more simply put… original, and this is why I have gone for the original version which showcases this perfectly.

13) Nemo - Darkest Day (World Of Apples Vocal Remix) (Jazzanova Compost Records) – During the same digging session I mentioned earlier, I pull this out. Released back in 2001 on the ‘Darkest Day EP’ ‘under the collaborative label of Jazzanova Records and Compost Records. There’s not much known about Nemo with only one or two releases under their belt. However, this remix by World Of Apples aka Ewan Pearson from Kidderminster, is simply stunning with Aimée Craddock’s glorious vocals over a great live hip-hop beat.

14) Danmass - Happy Hour (Original) (Sunday Best Recordings) – A Ross Allen classic which I first heard on his award winning ‘Destination In’ radio show back in 2000. Danmass aka Dan Carey & Massimo Bonaddio originally released ‘Happy Hour’ on Rob da Bank’s Sunday Best label and then re-released it 2 years later on their own record label Danmass Industry’s. It’s a reasonably simple track with guitar, bleeps and beats but it’s that kid’s vocal descriptions that stick in my head, for some reason reminding me of my days as a kid watching the film ‘Kes’.

15) Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Andrew Weatherhall Remix) (Heavenly Records) – This cover of Neil Young’s 1970 hit was included on Saint Etienne’s debut album ‘Foxbase Alpha (1990)’ but it is the appointment of Andrew Weatherall on remix duties for his ‘A Mix Of Two Halves’ that made me go digging for this version. Here, Mr Weatherall pushes the dub qualities of the original – literally creating a track of two half’s … the first a dubbed out instrumental which then segues into the second half…. a more traditional vocal version, but all with an underlying skanking beat….. “Kool & Deadly” in deed !!

16) Leftfield - Inspection (Check One) (Hard Hands, Columbia) – Throughout the time #DuskDubs has been operating, the album ‘Leftism’ has been mined pretty substantially by numerous selectors – a definite #DuskDubs classic for sure. So I thought it was about time I joined in….. therefore I have chosen ‘Inspection (Check One)’. A true heavyweight break-beat laden track featuring the ragga vocals of Danny Red that raises the tempo and funk of this volume…. As Danny says….”Inspection ? everything ship shape and shine?”…… certainly is now mate !!

17) Boozoo Bajou - Divers (Low Immersion Dub) (Stereo Deluxe) – To close proceedings, I’ve gone with this release from 2000 on the Stereo Deluxe Label out of Nuremberg, Germany. With ‘The Funky Lowlives’ on remix duties, it’s a dubtronica affair very much in the form of Kruder & Dorfmeister or the G-Stone label and when the track breaks down and that bass line erupts, it’s time to seriously Skank-Out…… jeeez – whatch ya bassbins ?

18) Paul Hardcastle – 19 Below Zero (The Lost Tape Mix) – We all know the original version of Paul Hardcastle’s 19 released back in 1985 – topping the UK Singles Charts at No.1 for 4 weeks. Inspired by the current Electro scene at the time, in particular Africa Bambataa, Hardcastle incorporated that latest sampling technology, the E-mu Emulator – which only gave him 2 seconds of sample time…. Crazy ! This ‘Lost Tape Mix’ was released on the 2012 ‘19 Below Zero’ album, created as you would expect from the title, out of a load of old master tapes he thought he had lost – I’m so glad he found them because I love this version and had to include it. It takes me back to a time of absorbing everything ‘Electro and StreetSounds’ in my early teens…. Gonna go and get my boombox, my lino and my ‘Nike’ wind-runner out !!

13) Nemo - Darkest Day (World Of Apples Vocal Remix) (Jazzanova Compost Records) – During the same digging session I mentioned earlier, I pull this out. Released back in 2001 on the ‘Darkest Day EP’ ‘under the collaborative label of Jazzanova Records and Compost Records. There’s not much known about Nemo with only one or two releases under their belt. However, this remix by World Of Apples aka Ewan Pearson from Kidderminster, is simply stunning with Aimée Craddock’s glorious vocals over a great live hip-hop beat.

14) Danmass - Happy Hour (Original) (Sunday Best Recordings) – A Ross Allen classic which I first heard on his award winning ‘Destination In’ radio show back in 2000. Danmass aka Dan Carey & Massimo Bonaddio originally released ‘Happy Hour’ on Rob da Bank’s Sunday Best label and then re-released it 2 years later on their own record label Danmass Industry’s. It’s a reasonably simple track with guitar, bleeps and beats but it’s that kid’s vocal descriptions that stick in my head, for some reason reminding me of my days as a kid watching the film ‘Kes’.

15) Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Andrew Weatherhall Remix) (Heavenly Records) – This cover of Neil Young’s 1970 hit was included on Saint Etienne’s debut album ‘Foxbase Alpha (1990)’ but it is the appointment of Andrew Weatherall on remix duties for his ‘A Mix Of Two Halves’ that made me go digging for this version. Here, Mr Weatherall pushes the dub qualities of the original – literally creating a track of two half’s … the first a dubbed out instrumental which then segues into the second half…. a more traditional vocal version, but all with an underlying skanking beat….. “Kool & Deadly” in deed !!

16) Leftfield - Inspection (Check One) (Hard Hands, Columbia) – Throughout the time #DuskDubs has been operating, the album ‘Leftism’ has been mined pretty substantially by numerous selectors – a definite #DuskDubs classic for sure. So I thought it was about time I joined in….. therefore I have chosen ‘Inspection (Check One)’. A true heavyweight break-beat laden track featuring the ragga vocals of Danny Red that raises the tempo and funk of this volume…. As Danny says….”Inspection ? everything ship shape and shine?”…… certainly is now mate !!

17) Boozoo Bajou - Divers (Low Immersion Dub) (Stereo Deluxe) – To close proceedings, I’ve gone with this release from 2000 on the Stereo Deluxe Label out of Nuremberg, Germany. With ‘The Funky Lowlives’ on remix duties, it’s a dubtronica affair very much in the form of Kruder & Dorfmeister or the G-Stone label and when the track breaks down and that bass line erupts, it’s time to seriously Skank-Out…… jeeez – whatch ya bassbins ?

18) Paul Hardcastle – 19 Below Zero (The Lost Tape Mix) – We all know the original version of Paul Hardcastle’s 19 released back in 1985 – topping the UK Singles Charts at No.1 for 4 weeks. Inspired by the current Electro scene at the time, in particular Africa Bambataa, Hardcastle incorporated that latest sampling technology, the E-mu Emulator – which only gave him 2 seconds of sample time…. Crazy ! This ‘Lost Tape Mix’ was released on the 2012 ‘19 Below Zero’ album, created as you would expect from the title, out of a load of old master tapes he thought he had lost – I’m so glad he found them because I love this version and had to include it. It takes me back to a time of absorbing everything ‘Electro and StreetSounds’ in my early teens…. Gonna go and get my boombox, my lino and my ‘Nike’ wind-runner out !!

This week we welcome another selector who has been a big fan of #DuskDubs from the very beginning. For DD0204 we finally welcome 1210Technics as a selector to the #DuskDubs family.
His first encounter of electronica came when he first heard New Order’s 'Blue Monday' which totally blew him away and set 1210 on an ever-evolving journey that continues to this day.

Here are a few words from the man himself…..

First of all, can I just say how humbled I am to be asked to select some tracks for the stunningly beautiful #DuskDubs sessions. The productions are always of the highest order and the depth of the musical knowledge of your selectors is incredible. Total love and respect goes out to The Gidman, Camel and Harrison for constantly keeping the music alive and giving us mere mortals a weekly dose of amazing sounds. The amount of effort and dedication that goes into this work is truly breathtaking.

I have put together tracks in my collection which are from favourite artists, collaborations between incredible artists, remixes of favourite tracks or all-out beautiful atmospherics and emotions. For me, the latter has always been a huge aspect in any music that I listen to, whether it’s from Detroit or Dagenham, Berlin or Belfast, I just love when artists put their heart and soul into a piece of music.

#DuskDubs really is a musical journey and one I am proud to be part of. I hope you all enjoy my debut selection half as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

1. Slam 'Eterna' (digweed and muir reprise)
2. Banco de Gaia 'Last Train to Lhasa'
3. Layo & Bushwacka 'Blind Tiger'
4. UNKLE 'Chaos'
5. 808 State 'Lopez'
6. Sigur Ros 'Milano'
7. Chemical Brothers 'Asleep From Day'
8. Doves 'Where We're Calling From' (Hebden Bridge Remix)
9. The Smiths 'This Charming Man' (Francois Kervokian Remix)
10. Rob & Goldie 'The Shadow' (Process Mix)
11. Derrick May 'The End'


1. Slam ‘Eterna’ (Digweed & Muir Reprise)

The original track from Slam was an incredible piece of electronica, way back in 1991, and one of my all time favourite tracks. The label in question, Soma, have been one of the real pioneers of the UK electronic scene and this was probably a tune that I thought no-one would touch – certainly not 20 years later! Digweed and Muir did a couple of versions – this one fitting nicely into the Duskdubs niche.



2. Banco de Gaia ‘Last Train to Lhasa’

I first heard this on Sasha & Digweed’s amazing Northern Exposure album which created a soundscape removed from their usual progressive, expansive house sound at that time. This track really jumped out from the rest and I ended up listening to quite a lot of Banco de Gaia’s tracks after that.



3. Layo & Bushwacka ‘Last Tiger’

Taken from their superb album ‘Night Works’, I felt this track slotted in beautifully with the whole #DuskDubs ethos and vibe. This track is very relaxed and laid back and it wasn’t one of my initial favourites on the album, after many listens this grew and grew on me and I couldn’t get enough of it – amazing how music works like that on you.



4. UNKLE ‘Chaos’

‘Psyence Fiction’ is one of those albums that really deserves more and more attention – in fact I have threatened to give myself a personal beating for neglecting this work of art amongst my collection of music!! So many amazing collaborations. There’s something wonderfully disturbing about ‘Chaos’ – makes me stop in my tracks every time I listen to it, giving it the full attention it deserves.



5. 808 State ‘Lopez’

Like the previous track, there’s a wonderful collaboration which brings together the very best of British music. When Bradfield’s husky, harsh, heartfelt vocals meet the electronic genius of 808 State, you immediately take notice. From the first day I heard this I’ve been hooked by both the range of emotions that come through this piece. Musical perfection.



6. Sigur Ros ‘Milano’

One of the most emotional pieces of music ever written by anyone at any time. Simply beautiful.



7. Chemical Brothers ‘Asleep From Day’

In their earlier days, the Chemical Brothers were masters in unearthing relatively unknown vocalists to produce the lyrics for their tracks. Have to say I hadn’t heard of Hope Sandoval before this track, and not much afterwards but what a vocal she puts on this tune. Gorgeous….. you can feel the sunset on your back every time you hear this.



8. Doves ‘Where We’re Calling From’ (Hebden Bridge Remix)

Remixes can be hit or miss, sometimes an artist puts a lazy shift in and the original version is hardly altered or they change the track completely to almost one of their own. Then sometimes an artist comes along who just grabs the original and gives it a whole new life. James Zeiter sends shivering, haunting sounds right through this Doves album track – incredible atmospherics.



9. Smiths ‘This Charming Man’ (Francois Kevorkian Instrumental Remix)

I first heard this version of the all time indie classic in the middle of a Andrew Weatherall set many years ago and it blew me away. In the days before Discogs, it was long and fruitless journey to track this piece of music down but thankfully I managed to get my hands on it. The French/NY musician does an amazing job on an almost untouchable piece of music.



10. Rob & Goldie ‘The Shadow’ (The Process Mix)

I toyed with the idea of including any drum and bass in my collection of sounds but the lengthy, dark, atmospheric introduction makes this track perfect for Duskdubs. Two of the DnB heavyweights coming together to commemorate the century of sound from the Moving Shadow label create this amazing electronic sound worthy of anyone’s set in any musical genre.



11. Derrick May ‘The End’

Perfect, peaceful electronic sounds from the Detroit master himself which rounds off my selection for the Duskdubs family. I hope you’ve enjoyed listening as much as I enjoyed putting this together – it’s been a wonderful experience, digging out old vinyl and CDs which haven’t been given the amont of listening they truly deserve from their careless owner. Big respect to the whole Duskdubs family who keep this wee musical enterprise thriving every week. God Bless.

This week, we have the return of Steve73. After his first volume, and the response it received, we really couldn’t wait to let him give you another journey. I think many of us were stopped in our tracks listening to his selections. So prepare to be blown away once again with this blend of creative, orchestral, emotive and bass fueled sounds that have arisen from his many record boxes.

Here are a few words from this week's selector:

" In this 'DD' I've tried to put the music together to create a 'trip' through Night and Day, from the dark eerie sounds of Ena & Asc , the chaos of Speedy j & Autechre and the light airy tones of Dominic Ridgway & Four Tet, there's also a very heavy emphasis on bass so "watch your bassbins I'm telling ya".

It’s taken me ages to put this together and I've enjoyed every single second of it (I could of gone on for hours).

Everything in this mix has a special place in my record collection and always will.
I hope you all enjoy this as much as I've had putting it together.

Massive thanks to all involved with DuskDubs! "

For our second volume for year 2 we are very excited to have snatched our resident DJ Harrison away from the mixing desk and lock him in his own record vault, getting him to dig through those dusty vinyl crates, his CD racks and those beaten up old tape boxes. A DJ is often rated on his mixing skills or performance, but as you know with #DuskDubs it’s all about the selections and the order in which they progress, and this is why we are so glad to have Mr Harrison back. He knows this better than anyone, as every Sunday he has been responsible for mixing the latest mixtape, but more than that, he along with his #DuskDubs partners created the vision and a platform where the ‘purity’ of the music is the focus and nothing else. And it’s this ethos that is at the centre of Harrisons core musical beliefs – like a stick of rock, it runs right through the middle of him. So with this in mind, stand by for a musical treat in its purist form – a collection of records that give us an insight into the man’s soul and musical heritage….. take it away my man….


Here are a few words from this week’s selector himself:

" I’m going to keep this short. My Dusk Dubs mixtape has been inspired by all previous selectors. Each week, we ask you to open up, let us into your musical journey and world. And each week, we get hearts and souls. So, that’s what I’ve done. My heart and soul is heavy in Detroit. I spent much of my childhood there, most of my family lives there and I feel connected to the city, its environment and the attitudes. I grew up on their record collections, their attitudes, learning all the time how to cope with shit. People over the generations have fallen on hard times, their music was their saving grace, their sanctuary, their voice, their energy. I’m sure many of us can relate to that.

(This mixtape is dedicated to my late uncle, William Miller , who, when he wasn’t grafting at General Motors, would teach me about the world, how to be there for others, to not be angry, how life is all about the ride, the highs, the lows...and how to just get up, get out the door, clear the 12 foot of snow, get your ass to work and not let the fuckers get you down.)

Enjoy my journey through the times, minds and streets of Detroit! "

We return, and to open year 2, we couldn’t have anyone better than the brilliant Jay Cee. DJ, producer, label boss and all round hard working lady. Already bossing it wherever she goes, and in whatever she does, we are blessed to have her on board this week.

Here are some words from this week’s selector:

“Raised on Jungle, House & Garage. I'm a lover of my town & it runs through my veins, I love the "London Sound" - which I am not sure if that is something I've made up in my head but it seems to be a dominant theme throughout my music collection. It's all about creating an eclectic, musical journey. Highly inspired by the 90's & the Underground scene. I enjoy controlling bodies on the dance floor”

Jay Cee is currently managing her own Label & spinning all over the UK.

1) Telepopmusik - Breathe (Freddie Joachim Remix)
2) The Cinematic Orchestra - All Things To All Men ft Roots Manuva
3) Faithless – Addictive
4) Groove Armada - Little By Little
5) Amon Tobin - Easy Muffin
6) The Moontrane Conductors – The Empty Sea-
7) LTJ Bukem – Horizons
8) Little Dragon - Twice (Aaron Jerome Remix)
9) Bonobo – Emkay
10) Kick Bong - Something Better (Cydelix Remix)
11) Synkro – Recognition
12) CLOSE - cubizm
13) Levon Vincent - ???
14) Barefoot - Rising & Falling
15) Pepe Bradock - Deep Burnt
16) Roy Davis Jr Ft Peven Everett – Gabriel

Jay Cee has provided a track by track review of her selections:

1) Telepopmusik - Breathe (Freddie Joachim Remix) - Starting off this volume with a real chiller, Breathe has been one of my favourite French Electronic songs, massive fan of the French sound.

2) The Cinematic Orchestra - All Things To All Men ft Roots Manuva - Into this classic soundtrack that has been my all time pieces of music, first of all - The Cinematic Orchestra, full of amazing composers. To put the icing on the cake, a relentless, raw, lyricist like Roots Manuva. Perfect combination.

3) Faithless – Addictive - I stumbled across this one from another film Soundtrack - Maxi Jazz is without a doubt one of the most remembered producers surrounding the 90s dance culture. Seductive & transcending

4) Groove Armada - Little By Little - Need I say much about this little gem, Groove Armada still going strong today, still pounding dance floors - Richie Havens made this one an uplifting & soulful piece of music. Definitely one for the down tempo bag.

5) Amon Tobin - Easy Muffin - I’ve just got into Amon Tobin, immediately I was brought in by the Amen, the Jazz bites & the mysterious melodies, my sort of recipe for a good piece of music. Then I saw “Ninja Tune” & I just knew why I was sucked in, the ever impressing label - released in 1997, mind blowing track.

6) The Moontrane Conductors – The Empty Sea - I can’t remember how I came across this one but I couldn’t find it anywhere after I heard it. It came off some Buddha lounge compilation, which seems evidently fitting - perfect mediation music, sounds that paint pictures of sunsets.

7) LTJ Bukem – Horizons - Need I really say much, I could just get lost in a trance forever to the liquid sound. I always let music take me on a journey, but LTJ’s music takes me on something much more surpassing than just a journey & what a beautiful one at that. Fabric 46 is a perfect representation of the journeys the man conducts with his mixing, I found some classic gems on that album.

8) Little Dragon - Twice (Aaron Jerome Remix) - I have been a fan of Little Dragon for a good while now, I’m a little bit of a sucker for the 80’s inspired electronic type sound & they somehow perfectly balance the combinations of Dance & Downtempo so elegantly. Aaron Jerome has sprinkled some of that wonderful SBTRKT sound onto this chiller & turned it into a theatrical, much more orchestral piece. Yukimi Nagano has to be one of the most enchanting singers not just to listen to, but to watch.

9) Bonobo – Emkay - All I want to say is, go & see it Live. Dimensions 2013, Bonobo (Live), a 2000 year old Amphitheatre, some of the best vibes I’ve ever felt.. there were tears (of joy).

10) Kick Bong - Something Better (Cydelix Remix) - Psychedlic, instrumental, melodic, feeling free. Classic Kick Bong vibes all over this one, full of atmosphere with that capturing vocal “Yes, there is a world out there, and even if you decide you don't want to meet it, it's still going to hit you right in the face. Best you start thinking about the world right now, and what the world means to you. What does the world mean to you?”

11) Synkro – Recognition - I appreciate a lot of simple & soundscape type tracks, I’ve found those to be the most empowering. Before I saw the Official video, I had an idea to create something for it - cruising around London at night with some friends & my camera. I got a new tool that enabled me to create time-lapse videos, so we went around some destinations & tried it out for the first time. 2000 photos later, I got back & edited the video - it was a rainy night, the footage was monochrome & the video portrayed a journey (just like the music). Perfectly complimented I put them all together, my first ever time-lapse which you can view here - vimeo.com/58368836


12) CLOSE - cubizm - Will Saul really hits all the right spots, at all times. Rolling grooves, melodies & sexy baselines. Whether its CLOSE or Will Saul, Aus or Simple, he’s doing it. As for this particular track & “Getting Closer”, It’s a fantastic, intimate & down-tempo album that should be listened to (preferably in the bedroom), which I would love to see performed Live.

13) Levon Vincent - ??? - I came across Levon Vincent from listening to George Fitzgerald’s Boiler Room. I was instantly brought in by the low grooves, with a bass sound that takes you right away, reminds me again of Dimensions 2013. a pure solid production, nothing less from Levon.

14) Barefoot - Rising & Falling - I was sent the snippet of this from Tom aka Barefoot, after getting a release on the Med School Records compilation. Without being biased this was the only one that stood out for me, you know when you just love the song from hearing 2 bars of it, this one was just an absolute winner. I wasn’t just taken in by Rachel’s hypnotising vocals, but Barefoot’s immaculate production behind it, which fantastically compliments the whole dreaminess of everything.

15) Pepe Bradock - Deep Burnt - The first memory I have of this song was the ever so Soulful NTS boat party, Funkineven, Jay Daniel, Dark Sky & Shamos. I had never heard such a wonderful combination of Soul, Detroit, Funk & Jazz in a few hours - that went down ever so well with the sun setting over the Mediterranean Sea.

16) Roy Davis Jr Ft Peven Everett – Gabriel - A classic, audible depiction of the Garage Scene. Roy is a great friend of mine & after getting to know him I understood the song on a different, spiritual level. I can’t even speak on this one too much, it really does itself.

This week we have the pleasure of welcoming back John Morrow, aka Skelton Army.

The decision to ask John to provide the sounds for our birthday show was an easy one. He always comes correct and provides exactly what is required, the mark of a true music man. It’s a sheer honour to have such a humble man, yet such a pioneer and inspiration be our birthday selector. The early Foul Play stuff is still played non-stop today, and if proof was needed that it will never fade, you only have to hear of the storming Foul Play set at Brixton Jamm for DJ Randall's Stepback Sessions.

We all have various Foul Play productions that tear into our hearts, and that speaks higher volumes than I can describe. Now, John can be found dedicating himself to bass fuelled house music which I have personally road tested and I can report, tore the roof off. Keep a close eye on Skelton Army’s movements, we get the feeling he’s just getting started!

So, enough talking, time to let Skeleton Army do his thing.

Salute!

Firstly, I'd just like to say how chuffed I was to be asked to select DuskDubs Vol. 52, the 1st Birthday Edition. Massive respect to The General, Gidman and Tommy for making sure there's an amazing new selection every week without fail, that a growing number of fans (myself included) look forward to every Sunday. May it continue to go from strength to strength, and may the DuskDubs family continue to grow. Happy Birthday guys, here's to many more.

I thought for this weeks selection I'd put together a producers special. Each of my choices is from one of my favourite producers, representing a host of different genres from accross the last three decades. I had to whittle it down from a very long list and I've had to miss out a lot of super talented music makers, but the tunes in my final tracklist come from, in my opinion, the absolute best of the best, the super producers who've consistently delivered so much groundbreaking music.

You may notice that this weeks selection is maybe a little light on the 'dub' side of things and some of the tracks may be a little on the obvious side, but I hope you'll forgive me, it is a Birthday celebration after all, hope you enjoy.

1. Soul II Soul - Fairplay
2. ILS - Loving You
3. Eric B & Rakim - Paid In Full (Seven Minutes Of Madness Remix)
4. Portishead - Sour Times
5. Biz Markie - Biz Is Goin' Off
6. Joyce Sims - (You Are My) All and All
7. Ultraista - Small Talk (Four Tet Remix) (Justin Martin Rework)
8. Stanton Warriors - Slip Away
9. Lana Del Ray - Ride (Photek Remix)
10. Kidnap Kid - Like You Used To
11. Frankie Knuckles presents Satoshi Tomiie - Tears
12. SBTRKT - Hold On (feat. Sampha)
13. Goldie - Inner City Life (Radio Edit)
14. Skanna - The Greatest Thing (Summertime Mix)
15. Foul Play - Music Is The Key (Omni Trio Remix)
16. The Prodigy - Your Love

Soul II Soul - Fairplay
[Producers - Nellee Hooper / Jazzie B]

Grammy award winning producer of U2. Bjork, Smashing Pumpkins etc. Nellee Hooper started his carreer as a member of the Wild Bunch and was instrumental in Massive Attack's early success, but it was his work with Jazzie B creating the early Soul II Soul anthems that gets him in my selection today. My fave of the lot is 'Fairplay', bringing back memories of Funki Dred T-Shirts and Africa pendants.

ILS - Loving You
[Producer - ILS]

Illian Walker, former Good Looking artist turned Breaks Don was one of my favourite producers in the Breaks scene, using rolling breakbeats and a healthy dose of funk when most around him were taking it dark and heavy. I could have included any track from his masterpiece 2005 album ' Bohemia' but I thought the downtempo 'Loving You' had a nice DuskDubs feel to it.

Eric B & Rakim - Paid In Full (Seven Minutes of Madness remix)
[Remix Producers - Coldcut]

No producer special would be complete without something from sample pioneers and Ninja Tune founders, Coldcut. Their use of the Ofra Haza vocal in their remix of Eric B & Rakim's 'Paid In Full' was nothing short of genius and helped create a bonified classic, and it means I get to include a track from the greatest rapper of all time.

Portishead - Sour Times
[Producers - Portishead]

Yeah I know it's a bit obvious and Portishead have featured a fair bit in previous DuskDubs selections, but I've always loved them and this is my favourite track of theirs by a whisker. Their contrast of gritty production and melancholy vocals was so original and distinctive when they first emerged, and has progressed cleverly through their three studio albums, and I'm still patiently awaiting the next one.

Biz Markie - Biz is Goin' Off
[Producer - Marley Marl]

No one person is more responsible for soundtracking my early teenage years than Marly Marl. Arguably the greatest producer of Hip Hop's golden era, he was behind so, so, so many classics from Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Roxanne Shante, MC Shan, Masta Ace, Eric B, LL Cool J etc. etc. etc. Was so hard picking just one, but 'Biz is Goin' Off' is just such a tune and I'll always remember it's freaky video, that I played on repeat when I was a little Hip Hop kid.

Joyce Sims - (You Are My) All and All
[Producer - Kurtis Mantronik]

Had to include something from the king of the beats himself Kurtis Mantronik. His trademark slick drum programming graced 80's anthems by Just Ice, T La Rock and his own band Mantronix, but for me it was with songstress Joyce Sims that he did his best work. Could have picked any number of colaborations between these two but went for my personal favoutite 'All and All'.

Ultraista - (Four Tet Remix) - (Justin Martin Rework)
[Remix Producer - Justin Martin]

This remix of a remix is one of my favourite tunes at the moment, from my favourite producer. Whether he's making house, breaks or booty shaking bass music, Justin Martin does it perfectly. A massive fan of classic Jungle/D&B, you can hear the influence in his music, especially evident in his album 'Ghettos & Gardens' on Dirtybird, which even features his remake of Goldie's 'Kemistry' fully endorsed by Goldie himself.

Stanton Warriors - Slip Away

[Producers - Stanton Warriors]

Taken from their 2006 'The Lost Files' album, 'Slip Away' featuring the vocal talents of Tina Grace is another Stanton's classic. In my opinion these guys can do no wrong. At the top of their game now for well over 15 years and showing no signs of slowing. Without doubt the masters of the Breaks scene.

Lana Del Ray - Ride (Photek Remix)
[Remix Producer - Photek]

In my humble opinion the most talented producer ever to make Drum & Bass, by a clear mile. Of course there have been many super talented producers in the scene since Rupert Parkes mid nineties domination, but the chances are what they're doing, Photek invented. I'm not a fan of all his post D&B work, but this remix for Lana Del Ray that emerged last year was a very unexpected surprise. Photek making pop music, and doing it well.

Kidnap Kid - Like You Used To
[Producer - Kidnap Kid]

It's only a matter of time before Kidnap Kid aka 23yr old Matt Relton blows up big time. Probably the most talented British house music producer around at the moment, his production skills sound well beyond his years. If you like Disclosure, you need to check out Kidnap Kid, cos he's better.

Frankie Knuckles presents Satoshi Tomiie - Tears
[Producers - Frankie Knuckles, Satoshi Tomiie]

It wouldn't be right to do a producers special without featuring something from the Godfather of House himself, the late, great Frankie Knuckles. I just love this record (I should do, I've sampled it enough times), it's completely timeless and it's arguably Robert Owens finest performance. Just beautiful.

SBTRKT - Hold On (feat. Sampha)
[Producer - SBTRKT]

Could have featured any number of tracks from SBTRKT's debut self-titled album, the perfect combination of great songs and brilliant production throughout. 'Hold on' is one of a number of colabs on the album with vocalist Sampha and my personal favourite.

Godie - Inner City Life
[Producers - Goldie, Rob Playford]

This is what happens when creative genius and technical wizard join forces. Rob and Goldie made so much fantastic music during the few years they worked together that really was timeless, but 'Inner City Life' was the track that helped Goldie become a household name and it still gives me goosebumps after the gazillionth listen.

Skanna - The Greatest Thing (Summertime Mix)
[Producer - Skanna]

Almost the first name on the list for a producer special, John Graham aka Skanna (and countless other aliases over the years) created some of the most well crafted and forward thinking Hardcore/D&B of the entire genre and is still having incredible success releasing music on some of the worlds finest dance music labels. Could have picked any number of his tunes and it was a toss up between this and another favourite of mine 'This Way' but memories of Fabio smashing 'The Greatest Thing' back in the day, just swung it.

Foul Play - Music Is The Key (Omni Trio Remix)
[Remix Producer - Omni Trio]

Omni Trio's finest moment? I think so, but I'm biased. I can remember the first time we heard this we were blown away. He took a small part of the vocal and built an entirely new piece of beautiful music around it. As great a musician as he was a producer, his entire back catalogue of singles and albums is a joy to listen to, but this tune will always be the one that means the most to me.

The Prodigy - Your Love
[Producer - Liam Howlett]

It's only right I should end this selection with a tune I played as my last record on so many occasions during my DJ years. Liam Howlett, super producer extraordinaire, Rave pioneer and someone I've looked up to for well over 20 years. In my mind this is THE piano anthem of piano anthems and though this may not be strictly in keeping with the usual DuskDubs sound, I know you'll forgive me, as this is the ultimate party tune and today we're celebrating a Birthday..... Enjoy.

I could have included any track from his masterpiece 2005 album ' Bohemia' but I thought the downtempo 'Loving You' had a nice DuskDubs feel to it.

Eric B & Rakim - Paid In Full (Seven Minutes of Madness remix)
[Remix Producers - Coldcut]

No producer special would be complete without something from sample pioneers and Ninja Tune founders, Coldcut. Their use of the Ofra Haza vocal in their remix of Eric B & Rakim's 'Paid In Full' was nothing short of genius and helped create a bonified classic, and it means I get to include a track from the greatest rapper of all time.

Portishead - Sour Times
[Producers - Portishead]

Yeah I know it's a bit obvious and Portishead have featured a fair bit in previous DuskDubs selections, but I've always loved them and this is my favourite track of theirs by a whisker. Their contrast of gritty production and melancholy vocals was so original and distinctive when they first emerged, and has progressed cleverly through their three studio albums, and I'm still patiently awaiting the next one.

Biz Markie - Biz is Goin' Off
[Producer - Marley Marl]

No one person is more responsible for soundtracking my early teenage years than Marly Marl. Arguably the greatest producer of Hip Hop's golden era, he was behind so, so, so many classics from Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Roxanne Shante, MC Shan, Masta Ace, Eric B, LL Cool J etc. etc. etc. Was so hard picking just one, but 'Biz is Goin' Off' is just such a tune and I'll always remember it's freaky video, that I played on repeat when I was a little Hip Hop kid.

Joyce Sims - (You Are My) All and All
[Producer - Kurtis Mantronik]

Had to include something from the king of the beats himself Kurtis Mantronik. His trademark slick drum programming graced 80's anthems by Just Ice, T La Rock and his own band Mantronix, but for me it was with songstress Joyce Sims that he did his best work. Could have picked any number of colaborations between these two but went for my personal favoutite 'All and All'.

Ultraista - (Four Tet Remix) - (Justin Martin Rework)
[Remix Producer - Justin Martin]

This remix of a remix is one of my favourite tunes at the moment, from my favourite producer. Whether he's making house, breaks or booty shaking bass music, Justin Martin does it perfectly. A massive fan of classic Jungle/D&B, you can hear the influence in his music, especially evident in his album 'Ghettos & Gardens' on Dirtybird, which even features his remake of Goldie's 'Kemistry' fully endorsed by Goldie himself.

Stanton Warriors - Slip Away

[Producers - Stanton Warriors]

Taken from their 2006 'The Lost Files' album, 'Slip Away' featuring the vocal talents of Tina Grace is another Stanton's classic. In my opinion these guys can do no wrong. At the top of their game now for well over 15 years and showing no signs of slowing. Without doubt the masters of the Breaks scene.

Lana Del Ray - Ride (Photek Remix)
[Remix Producer - Photek]

In my humble opinion the most talented producer ever to make Drum & Bass, by a clear mile. Of course there have been many super talented producers in the scene since Rupert Parkes mid nineties domination, but the chances are what they're doing, Photek invented. I'm not a fan of all his post D&B work, but this remix for Lana Del Ray that emerged last year was a very unexpected surprise. Photek making pop music, and doing it well.

Kidnap Kid - Like You Used To
[Producer - Kidnap Kid]

It's only a matter of time before Kidnap Kid aka 23yr old Matt Relton blows up big time. Probably the most talented British house music producer around at the moment, his production skills sound well beyond his years. If you like Disclosure, you need to check out Kidnap Kid, cos he's better.

Frankie Knuckles presents Satoshi Tomiie - Tears
[Producers - Frankie Knuckles, Satoshi Tomiie]

It wouldn't be right to do a producers special without featuring something from the Godfather of House himself, the late, great Frankie Knuckles. I just love this record (I should do, I've sampled it enough times), it's completely timeless and it's arguably Robert Owens finest performance. Just beautiful.

SBTRKT - Hold On (feat. Sampha)
[Producer - SBTRKT]

Could have featured any number of tracks from SBTRKT's debut self-titled album, the perfect combination of great songs and brilliant production throughout. 'Hold on' is one of a number of colabs on the album with vocalist Sampha and my personal favourite.

Godie - Inner City Life
[Producers - Goldie, Rob Playford]

This is what happens when creative genius and technical wizard join forces. Rob and Goldie made so much fantastic music during the few years they worked together that really was timeless, but 'Inner City Life' was the track that helped Goldie become a household name and it still gives me goosebumps after the gazillionth listen.

Skanna - The Greatest Thing (Summertime Mix)
[Producer - Skanna]

Almost the first name on the list for a producer special, John Graham aka Skanna (and countless other aliases over the years) created some of the most well crafted and forward thinking Hardcore/D&B of the entire genre and is still having incredible success releasing music on some of the worlds finest dance music labels. Could have picked any number of his tunes and it was a toss up between this and another favourite of mine 'This Way' but memories of Fabio smashing 'The Greatest Thing' back in the day, just swung it.

Foul Play - Music Is The Key (Omni Trio Remix)
[Remix Producer - Omni Trio]

Omni Trio's finest moment? I think so, but I'm biased. I can remember the first time we heard this we were blown away. He took a small part of the vocal and built an entirely new piece of beautiful music around it. As great a musician as he was a producer, his entire back catalogue of singles and albums is a joy to listen to, but this tune will always be the one that means the most to me.

The Prodigy - Your Love
[Producer - Liam Howlett]

It's only right I should end this selection with a tune I played as my last record on so many occasions during my DJ years. Liam Howlett, super producer extraordinaire, Rave pioneer and someone I've looked up to for well over 20 years. In my mind this is THE piano anthem of piano anthems and though this may not be strictly in keeping with the usual DuskDubs sound, I know you'll forgive me, as this is the ultimate party tune and today we're celebrating a Birthday..... Enjoy.

This week we have the pleasure of welcoming Wilson Logan to Dusk Dubs, and what a mix of incredible records he has brought to the table.

Wilson can usually be found slamming techno out in Manchester’s finest venues such as Sankeys with the rest of the Playground team. This was why it was important to us to have someone who enjoys ‘melting you to the back of the room with techno’ (as he puts it) produce a Dusk Dubs Mixtape. It’s another perfect showcase of the beauty and value of Dusk Dubs. So many people like Wilson have many strings to their bow, and we are so happy that we can give them this platform to experiment, dig deep, and search out those records they love but may never get to play to the world.

He has spent months preparing this, and that time was important as he insisted on having certain records in his mixtape which took that time to find. We love that dedication to the selection process.

For our penultimate show, we very happily give you Wilson Logan.

Here are a few words from this week’s selector:

“Firstly can I say a massive thank you to the Dusk Dubs guys for allowing me to put this selection of tunes together for them. Every weekend for the last year they have released music, come rain or shine, they have become an institution in Sunday morning listening so to be asked to do the final mix before they go 360 degrees and bring up the 1 year young mark is a huge honour.

One of my earliest memories as a kid is my uncle sitting me down, getting his guitar out and blasting out his rendition of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues”. I can’t have been more than 4 years old but the memory is as clear as day.

Fast forward 20 years and I can safely say that music is well and truly my overriding passion in life, I’m completely surrounded and immersed in it, whether I’m listening to techno and electronica to get me through the daily 9 to 5 or doing visuals for a variety of music events across Manchester its an ever present.

So to try and pick a selection from my ever increasing bank of tunes proved very difficult, but it was hellishly fun. I remember reading a quote by Theo Parrish a while back -

"Someone took one of these [a record] and another one of these and decided to mix them together, and now that art is somewhat being forgotten because everybody forgot about the records themselves and was worried about the mixing, and that’s more about the ego.”

I think this quote holds true to the dusk dubs philosophy, it’s simply about the music no gimmicks no tricks just straight up good music. I could have quite easily have pulled 10/15 records out of my collection that all sounded nice, flowed through nicely and there you go. That would have been too easy. I wanted to pull together music that has influenced me in some way throughout my life. Raised on a combination of everything from classical to folk to old school rock and roll right through hip-hop and finally electronica and techno, this selection is both a reflection and a reaction to that.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I’ve enjoyed selecting.“

This week, we reach vol.50. That’s 50 weeks in a row, 50 mixtapes, through thick and thin. Dusk Dubs is flying. Its flying with a great team behind it and an even greater extended team pushing it forward. We're a family. And our core principle is about music and unity. Not money, not fame, not genres, not Charts or Top 100 lists…..not any of that bull shit that many these days think is important.

It's about bringing people together, playing great records and buzzing off it.

Here at Dusk Dubs, we were trying to think of something special to celebrate our 50th mixtape. So, we threw it right back to the start. Myself, Original Gidman and General Camel have dug out the first few tracks we posted on twitter. And here it is. If anything, this mixtape is the birth of Dusk Dubs.

Those of you that were there with us at the start, we salute you. Thank you for helping drive something forward that is honest and pure right from the beginning. And those of you that have joined as we snowballed along, we equally salute you. Welcome, and thanks for making Dusk Dubs what it is today!

Now let's play some tunes eh!

**Tracklisting**

Jon’s Tracks

1. The Orb featuring Lee Scratch Perry - Golden Clouds
2. Taggy Matcher - Rockit
3. Fat Freddys Drop – Shiverman
4. Flying Lotus – Disco Balls

Leighton’s Tracks

1. Tosca - Honey
2. Thievery Corporation - Lebanese blonde
3. Portishead - Roads
4. Marshall Jefferson vs Noosa Heads – Mushrooms (Salt City Orchestra Remix)

Tommy’s Tracks

1. Bob Marley - 'get up, stand up'
2. 2562 - 'Kontrol'
3. Pobedia - Journey To The Stars
4. Burial – Archangel

And it wouldn't be right without the full track list write up from Gids:

1) Bob Marley – ‘Get up, Stand’ up as selected by Harrison – What better way to start our 50th volume with a stone cold classic. Recorded at the Harry J. Studios, Kingston in Jamaica and originally released on the album “Burnin” in 1973, this is an anthem in the true sense of the word…. Sing-a-long crew stand up…..

2) Portishead – ‘Roads’ as selected by General Camel – Another classic, but this time from a more recent era. This can be found on Portishead ‘s debut album “Dummy” which unbelievably was released 20 years ago in August 1994. Cited by many music critics, as one of the genre’s defining albums, although in my humble opinion there are so many other albums that were influential during the “Trip-Hop” era…. There is no doubt that Portishead along with Massive Atack and Tricky to name a few spearheaded the “Bristol Sound”…… and what a sound it is with those heart-breaking vocals by Beth Gibbon’s and that recognisable lo-fi yet somehow polished production by Geoff Barrow.

3) The Orb featuring Lee Scratch Perry – ‘Golden Clouds’ as selected by Original Gidman – Featured on the ” The Orbserver in the Star House” album and released as a single in its own right back in August 2012’ - for me, this long awaited collaboration was the perfect union for both artists. Golden Clouds is a ‘dubbed-out skanking’ rework of The Orb’s ‘Little Fluffy Clouds’ where Mr. Perry reminisces about the Jamican “..skies when he was young?”

4) 2562 - 'Kontrol' as selected by Harrison – Released back in 2009 on the first split 12" vinyl in the "Tectonic Plates Vol. 2" series, alongside fellow ‘Hollander’ Martyn. Dave Huismans aka 2562’s sound is one of snappy 808’s, melancholy synth washes & pads and serious sub base,….the perfect hybrid of Detroit, London & Holland….”Watch your bassbins on this one !”

5) Thievery Corporation – ‘Lebanese Blonde’ as selected by General Camel – A contemporary classic from Washington DC based band Thievery Corporation. Released in 1998 and featuring the jazz vocals of Pam Bricker, this is a perfect example of the bands melting pot of Bossa, Jazz and Dub….. Another #DuskDubsclassic for sure…..

6) Flying Lotus – ‘Disco Balls’ as selected by Original Gidman – Produced by the LA based multi-talented producer Flying Lotus, who if you didn’t know comes from a long famous linage of musicians – his great-aunt being Alice Coltrane (jazz pianist, organist, harpist, composer and second wife of John Coltrane) and he is also a cousin of Ravi Coltrane (Post-Bop Tenor and Soprano Saxophonist). This track is taken from the Double CD compilation “5: Five Years of Low End Contagion” from the ever-consistant Hyperdub label. Released in 2009, and featuring other leftfield producers loved by the #DuskDubs family, such as Burial, Zomby, Kode 9 and Darkstar to name a few…..Go hunt it out – you will not be disappointed.

7) Tosca – ‘Honey’ as selected by General Camel – Tosca are the duo of Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber out of Austria, who released on G-Stone Recordings. This track features on their second album ‘Suzuki’ which was released in 1999 and is a perfect example of that ‘G-Stone’ sound that #DuskDubsloves so much.

8) Taggy Matcher – ‘Rockit’ as selected by Original Gidman – Covering the Herbie Hancock classic in a ska/dub fashion could have turned out a nightmare. However, Taggy Matcher aka Patchworks manages to do it justice. Since 2007, Taggy Matcher started appearing in the 7 Inch record racks on the French Stix label, giving new ‘reggae/dub life’ to some of the best Hip-Hop and R&B classics around…..these hybrid/covers seem perfect for both b-boys and #DuskDubs alike.

9) Pobedia – ‘Journey To The Stars’ as selected by Harrison – Featured on Ruslan Zakharov’s aka Pobedia’s 2011 EP ‘Galaxy’ on Audiocast Productions, this track will take you away from the daily hustle and bustle of life through its Dub/Techno rhythms. As the artist says himself… “Just sit back and think of the relaxing motion of the sea or staring up at the clouds”…… Bliss.

10) Marshall Jefferson vs Noosa Heads – ‘Mushrooms (Salt City Orchestra Remix)’ as selected by General Camel – Of course, Mr Jefferson needs no introduction… as a legend in Dance Music his reputation precedes him. He released the original of Mushrooms back in 1996 but it was 2 years later that this remix by Elliot Eastwick, Miles Hollway and Simon Bradshaw aka Salt City Orchestra surfaced. A fantastic “chugger” that mixes spoken word, amazing beats and deep house vibes… another classic by Mr Jefferson.

11) Fat Freddys Drop – ‘Shiverman’ as selected by Original Gidman – This 10 minute epic is featured on their second album ‘Dr Boondigga and the Big BW’ released in 2009 which became a number-one album in New Zealand in its first week, and eventually went two times platinum. FFD manage to mould Reggae/Soul/Techno inna dub style and nowhere is this more apparent than on ‘Shiverman’ – watch for the drop featuring their amazing brass section…… If you ever get to see them live – this 10 minute epic becomes a 20 minute monster… recommended.

12) Burial – ‘Archangel’ as selected by Harrison – What better way to end this volume than with the mercurial Burial. For what seemed like an age, Burial managed to keep his identity a secret – driving the music press wild whilst adding to his own mystique. More recently William Emmanuel Bevan has come out of the ‘musical closet’ let’s say, collaborating with the likes of Four Tet, Massive Attack and even Tom Yorke from Radiohead. “Archangel” featured on his second album ‘Untrue’ (2007) is a classic ‘Burial’ take on 2 step garage… featuring mournful vocal loops, dark synth washes and a sub bass to die for…. this modern day masterpiece will worm its way into your ear and hopefully never escape….]]>

Once again it is our pleasure to bring to you another amazing selector for the #DuskDubs series. This week we have Dave Faze stepping up with his personal selection of records. It is clear from Dave’s tracklist that he is a lover of all genres of music, which of course fits perfectly with our #DuskDubsmantra. This was cemented even more during a meeting between Dave and Original Gidman at a Jungle/Drum & Bass night where they spoke Jazz and everything non D&B… as you do !!

…. A true musical ‘head’ for sure – Step up Mr. Faze

“I’m very honoured and thrilled to be asked to compile this volume of #DuskDubs and this selection features tracks I was listening to around the mid nighties when the whole downtempo or ‘trip hop’ genre blew up.

I was lucky, as I was living in London at the time and I fully immersed myself in the cutting edge forefront of the dance scene and went to legendary clubs such as the Blue Note, The End, Bagleys and Turnmills all of which catered for forward thinking beats of all descriptions!

These tracks are very close to my heart and represent many happy times in my life. I hope you enjoy!

You can catch me every two months at my residency at Interlight at The Castle, Aldgate East, London, and also on the radio on www.purple-radio.co.uk every month, and on my new show onwww.jungletrain.net which I’m very proud to be a part of…

Big up to the #DuskDubs crew for the opportunity…. it’s nice to be a part of the family”.

Once again it is our pleasure to bring to you another amazing selector for the #DuskDubs series. This week we have Dave Faze stepping up with his personal selection of records. It is clear from Dave’s tracklist that he is a lover of all genres of music, which of course fits perfectly with our #DuskDubsmantra. This was cemented even more during a meeting between Dave and Original Gidman at a Jungle/Drum & Bass night where they spoke Jazz and everything non D&B… as you do !!

…. A true musical ‘head’ for sure – Step up Mr. Faze

This week, it’s time to be loved up with the man who gave us one of the best musical genres in history. Chuggers. We’ve all done it, we’ve all tried to describe that tune that chugs along, thud thud thud.... they’re long, they make you move, regardless of where you are and how you’re feeling. Chuggers.

Danny is a lover of great music, and usually he has experienced that music live and how it was intended to be heard, so when he says something is good, you know he’s the authority on it.

Dusk Dubs can often mean something different, depending on how you approach it. But we love it especially when people take us on that journey somewhere else, another place, another time. So put your cans on, close your eyes, and enjoy the time travelling experience.

And here are a few words from this week’s selector:

“Right before I start I would like to thank Original Gidman, General Camel and Harrison for inviting me back.

When I got asked to compile another #DuskDubs compilation, I always imagine being in Ibiza watching the sun slowly sink into the sea.

I started this #DuskDubs with the intention of choosing two songs from my favourite musical genres, but as soon as I heard The Beatles sing "Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream" I knew then the second half was going to have a slight Psychedelic feel to it.

I absolutely love that 60s West Coast first "Summer of Love Sound" with Love being my favourite band of that era. Anyone who knows me will tell you how much I love The Roses and The Verve, who were both heavily influenced by that sound.

"All the wild eyes, know what I mean". “

This week it’s a long overdue return of another Dusk Dubs resident, Original Gidman. Here from the beginning, in fact, here before the beginning, Gidman keeps everything on track and without him, not in a million years would we be approaching a year of weekly mixtapes. He wears his Dusk Dubs heart and soul on his sleeve for all to see, and we couldn’t have a better representative. No one can match his knowledge, and the respect he has in our game is second to none. Constantly putting our selectors at the forefront of his mind, daily promoting of their mixtapes, and providing 24/7 advice and support, it’s about time we all returned the favour.

So, here he is, taking you back to where it all began for him.

What a journey!

Salute The Original Gidman!

Here are some words from this week’s selector, and as always with Gidman, a superb write up on his tracks:

“As you can probably tell from the artwork I have used, featuring my youthful fresh faced self (ha ha), this volume is an attempt to reflect a particular time during my years out in the raving wilderness. Although all my previous #DuskDubs volumes’ include tracks which I have a personal attachment too, I think this volume has to be the most personal so far. It includes tracks that still resonate with me today from a time in my life where I felt part of a widespread youth culture. I feel blessed, not many generations can say that…. Of course, this is #DuskDubs, so there’s no hands-in-the air anthem’s here, just tracks that affected me emotionally during those years and still do to this day…… “Taking you back to the morning after……” ”

**Tracklisting**

1) Neutron 9000 – Way To Heaven

Taken from the 1990 ‘The Green House Effect’ album on Profile Records – this track takes me back to every ‘morning after’ or every ‘car journey home’ after a night out. Whether it was in the car or at home, The Green House Effect was the ‘Go-To’ album of that time, and this being the first track on the album would set the scene….. Pure chill out bliss.

2) Candy Flip – Strawberry Fields Forever

Also released in 1990, this track would end up being a UK Top Ten success. However, before it became a commercial hit, it would form a staple part of the soundtrack to many of the illegal raves I was attending at the time. By covering the Beatles, sampling James Brown’s "Funky Drummer" and adding some additional reverb, Candy Flip seemed to connect two youth cultures – one from the 60’s and the other from the 90’s…. memories of Kangol Hats, Baggy Jeans, Naff Naff Jackets and Wallabies shoes……

3) Psychotropic – Only For The Headstrong

Starting with that classic vocal sample “Music’s Hypnotizing”, this 1990 warehouse anthem would rock many a sound system back in the day with those “Funky Drummer” beats, but it was those dreamy synth lines that hooked you, hypnotised you and took you somewhere else – only for the headstrong… indeed.

4) Joanna Law – First Time Ever (Mellow Groove Mix)

Originally written by Kirsty MacColl’s father Ewan McColl back in 1957 and covered by over 60 different artists, this version was released on a number of different labels in 1990. Featuring the stunning vocals of Joanna Law who would later go onto work with Pressure Drop and Way Out West to name a few, this classic would give me goose bumps every time I heard it, and still does today…. A Perfect #DuskDubsmoment.

5) Roots and Soul – Mr. Kirk vs. The Real Bassline (Original Mix)

Found on the A-side of Roots and Soul’s 3rd 12” release on Street Bwoyz Pro label in 1991, this bass heavy track takes the “Mr Kirk” sample from 4 hero’s Mr Kirk’s Nightmare and, repeats it like a mantra as the bass washes over you. I have only ever heard this track played out once on a system and when I did….. well it you can imagine !! The feeling has stayed with me ever since…..

6) A Guy Called Gerald – Emotions Electric

Gerald Simpson could do no wrong back in 1989. After his early involvement in 808 State and his success of Voodoo Ray in 1988, Gerald would release a couple of what I regard as classic UK Acid House albums. However, for me that stand out release during this period was on a ‘Peel Sessions” 12”, released in 1989 on the BBC’s Strange Fruit Records. This track has all the emotional power of any of the Vocal House classics that preceded it, but with its slower pace, deep bass lines and gorgeous synth washes – this is another “goose bump” moment – its emotional power is immeasurable.

7) 808 State – Sunrise

There’s not much I can say about 808 State that hasn’t been said before, just that this track off their first album “Ninety” (1989) was one of those tracks that fell between the dance floor and the chill-out room. Throughout that album, they managed to include all musical aspects of rave culture – techno, house, ambient, hardcore – it’s all there…. an album I still play – and a track that takes me to that “head space” between the dance floor and the chill-out room…. a certified classic.

8) Critical Rhythm – Fall Into A Trance (Alternative Ambient Mix)

I first came across this track on the classic Bio-Rhythm LP, released on the ever-consistent Network Records in the summer of 1990 – it featured the ‘who’s who’ of electronic music at that time Mark Archer, Derrick May, Derrick Carter, Paris Grey, Frank De Wulf, Neal Howard and of course Critical Rhythm aka Lenny Dee and Victor Simonelli. Purchased on good ol’ cassette at the time, it was another ‘Go-To’ album for the car…. @DZG303 can vouch for that ! The track ‘Fall Into A Trance’, originally licensed from Nu Groove Records and engineered by the don Tommy Musto, was a personal highlight and would always evoke a trance like state, even more so on the ‘Alternative Ambient Mix’ version.

9) Ability II – Pressure Dub

Originally released in 1990 on the Bassic record label and then licensed to the famous Outer Rhythm Label and re-released in 1991, this track was a classic of its time. Ten glorious minutes of breaks, bleeps and vocal snippets processed through an echo chamber, which when played on great sound system would pound your body into submission with that devastating bass line – Amazing… nuff said.

10) Unique 3 – The Theme

Released on Chill Records in 1988 and then picked up by Ten Records, this is another bleeps and bass classic that would be heard in every DJ’s set from that period. As well as hearing this amazing blend of Hip-Hop and Bleeps & Bass at every rave between 1989-1990, I also heard Unique 3 do a live PA on the legendary mixtape ‘Grooverider 1’ from the Eclipse Coventry (still a prize possession). Apparently, 'The Theme' was voted the number 1 track played at the ‘The Hacienda’ in Manchester in the '90s, by the world famous Deejay team who played there (Mike Pickering, Graeme Park and Dave Haslam). Although I first heard in the rave, its Hip-Hop styling’s and lower BPM’s lends itself perfectly for this #DuskDubsvolume.

11) Sweet Exorcist – Testone

Sweet Exorcist aka Richard H Kirk and DJ Parrot released this track on their second 12” for Warp Records in 1990. Starting with the famous sample from the film ‘Close Encounters Of The Third Kind’, this bleep and bass classic is one of my favourites from both The Warp stable and of that era. Those synth pads and minimalist construction would pave the way for the later generation of producers, particularly during Warp's Artificial Intelligence series.

12) Earth Leakage Trip – No Idea.

Featured on the first 12” release on the now legendary Moving Shadow record label in 1991. Earth Leakage Trip, who would later release on Rising High Records and Direct Source Records to name a few, manage to create a trippy techno classic with clever use of film samples, eerie synth pads and a throbbing bass. After first hearing it on an old beaten up TDK 90 cassette, those seagulls samples have embedded themselves in my brain – must be something to do with living near the coast at the time.

13) Mundo Muzique – Andromeda

I finish with a bona fide masterpiece in my humble opinion. Originally released on the compilation ‘Brooklyn Beats - Brooklyn's In The House’ on Easy Street Records out of New York in 1991 – the compilation was picked up and re-released by one of my favourite and most collected labels of that time – R & S Records. Mundo Muzique aka Edmundo Perez released some classics on R & S, including the Tranztechno EP Vol. 1 and the Andromeda 12” , but it’s with this track that he manages to hit all the bases….. Simply put, a stunning piece of music.]]>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. However, this week we're going toe to toe with another “Dub War” sound clash. Both selectors bring their box of records, making their choices wisely, trying to outdo the other. I ready the sound system, play their tunes, mediate, and throw in the odd air-horn. Well, it is Dusk Dubs after all!

Stepping up, we have DJ Omm vs 10inchpress ….. Will there be a musical K.O. ? Who will be the last man standing?

As the artworks says……“It Ain’t Over ‘till It’s Over”

Words from Dj Omm

“What a buzz to be invited to take part in Dub Wars! The first head to head from Original Gidman & General Camel is without doubt one of the best volumes yet...absolutely love the format. Great Fun!!

Proper exciting unleashing a track then waiting to see what your opponent comes back with & what an opponent I have in the mighty Warman! Someone who bubbles off the same kind of riddims & flava’s & someone who definitely knows his beats ... I’m up against it for real! Should make for a tasty battle!!!!

Ding Ding !!”

Words from 10inchpress

“For a second time I am allowed the luxury of selecting my DuskDubs to an ever growing audience. However, in this DuskDubs instalment I enter the Dub Wars…. North vs South.

I am going head2head against DJ Omm the man who brought us DuskDubs volume 22. (177 Plays, 19 loves and 7 re-posts).

My selections are not pre-selected, they are very much chosen from the selections made by DJ OMM. From the very 1st selection by DJ Omm to the last I wanted to match him track for track.

If you get the opportunity for a Dub War - Don't just be a selector, be a competitor!!!

(Please note that I have just completed a Rubik's cube while writing this)”

13) Shades of Rhythm - Sound of Eden (Selected By DJ Omm) - Had to finish with the ultimate hands in the air, sing out loud’ feel good tune! A very special record to me & me woman and a few of the older dance heads round my way. This ticks all the boxes for a dancefloor full of groovers whatever their true music passion is....always gets a brilliant reaction!!!!!

14) The Demon Boyz, Asher D & Daddy Freddy - Grand Finale (Selected By 10Inchpress) The Demon Boyz, Asher D & Daddy Freddy - Grand Finale - The Music of Life record label was a favourite for me around 88/89 loads of mates at school had tapes by Simon Harris, this is taken from the 1989 album Hustlers Convention Live - now tell me you can't hear Jungle vibes!!! #PULLUP]]>
Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. However, this week we're going toe to toe with another “Dub War” sound clash. Both selectors bring their box of records, making their choices wisely, trying to outdo the other. I ready the sound system, play their tunes, mediate, and throw in the odd air-horn. Well, it is Dusk Dubs after all!

Stepping up, we have DJ Omm vs 10inchpress ….. Will there be a musical K.O. ? Who will be the last man standing?

As the artworks says……“It Ain’t Over ‘till It’s Over”

Words from Dj Omm

“What a buzz to be invited to take part in Dub Wars! The first head to head from Original Gidman & General Camel is without doubt one of the best volumes yet...absolutely love the format. Great Fun!!

Proper exciting unleashing a track then waiting to see what your opponent comes back with & what an opponent I have in the mighty Warman! Someone who bubbles off the same kind of riddims & flava’s & someone who definitely knows his beats ... I’m up against it for real! Should make for a tasty battle!!!!

Ding Ding !!”

Words from 10inchpress

“For a second time I am allowed the luxury of selecting my DuskDubs to an ever growing audience. However, in this DuskDubs instalment I enter the Dub Wars…. North vs South.

I am going head2head against DJ Omm the man who brought us DuskDubs volume 22. (177 Plays, 19 loves and 7 re-posts).

My selections are not pre-selected, they are very much chosen from the selections made by DJ OMM. From the very 1st selection by DJ Omm to the last I wanted to match him track for track.

If you get the opportunity for a Dub War - Don't just be a selector, be a competitor!!!

(Please note that I have just completed a Rubik's cube while writing this)”

SECONDS OUT..... HERE WE GO!

1) Bomb The Bass – Megablast (Selected By DJ Omm) - Released in 1988 this was amongst me first 7” vinyl purchases from Woolworths as a kid!

6) Frankie Paul - Fire Deh a Mus Mus Tail (Selected By 10Inchpress) Frankie Paul - Fire Deh a Mus Mus Tail - What more can be said about Frankie Paul, greatest voice in reggae! First heard Frankie Paul on some old Sir Coxsone tapes they were passed around at college and the vocal is sampled on a little Shut and Dance jungle number from '94.

Barny Wink quite clearly knows his music, he can often be found supporting each weeks release and offering positive feedback and recommendations on the Dusk Dubs Soundcloud page and social network sites. With his vast knowledge of music, we knew we'd be in for a real treat with his selections. So, standby for another amazing journey. We give you.....“Barnabus Winklefoot”

Here are few words from this week’s selector:

“When I got the nod to compile a volume, I was made up. However, I have experienced what the rest of the dubbers have felt and that is "where do I start" and "how am I going to get this list down from 80 to 12?

My musical influences growing up were somewhat disturbing. An Irish nan and a 20 something mum proved to be both distressing and enlightening in equal measure. From the dulcet tones of foster & Allen to the progressive synth sound of human league my musical taste would become wide and, with all due respect to today's terrible pop music, I'd give anything ago. The influences in this mix stem from the West London deep house sound to the grittier East London breaks, interspersed with a wider geographical and chronological variety you will hear. A massive chunk of this selection is heavily based on Charles Webster in production and remixing duties but a hat is tipped in the direction of Andrew Weatherall on the breaks front. This is not about categorising BPM’s to music genres, it’s about the feeling.

So, get yourself a cuppa, turn up the volume, shut the blinds and open your ears to my selection. “

This week, we are truly blessed to welcome Shogun Spy. One of the finest producers of dub techno and of pure amazing sounds, it made perfect sense for us to chase him for a volume. He has dug deeply, and has come up with an amazing selection of his records for us. Proving that musical journeys, and musical influences can come in all shapes and sizes, this weeks mixtape is very special indeed.

We highly recommend you check him out:

coldtearrecords.bandcamp.com/album/shog…ing-deeply
electrosphererecords.bandcamp.com/track/sh…he-night

Here are a few words from the man himself:

“This was almost an impossible task for me to decide on a playlist. It changed so many times :) but I really enjoyed the adventure in sound.
In the end I decided on an Irish/electronic theme for the selections. Although I was born in London I grew up in Ireland and as a teenager discovered my first musical influences. Hope you enjoy“

**Tracklisting**

1) Odetta - The Foggy Dew - For me a very moving rendition of an old IRISH SONG. Hope your not offended by this one….. as Music knows no boundaries ! Political or not.

2) Christy Moore - I loved her (album version) - Christy Moore needs no introduction if your Irish. But he surprised me with the Album Traveller and it's Electronic flavour

3) Afro Celt Sound System – Lagan - I hope they need no introduction! a very influential sound from the old sod.

4) The Ghosts - The City - Ghosts!

5) UNKNWN – Tucker - Champion sound again and a free download Annie-mac-presents – Unknwn-tucker

6) Forests – Symmetries - From Dublin not much info again just like the vibe

7) Boxcutter – A Familiar Sound - Planet Mu big boy Barry Linn.

8) Boxcutter - Hyloz - One of my all time favorites !!

9) Ghosts - WLVS - If you can get over there big Burial influence no disrespect Ghosts have some great tracks. Another Champion sound artist

10) Kab Driver - E-M-O Transistor Array - Love Kab driver especially this track. It reminds me of funk tracks that John Peel played back in the day

11) Kab Driver – Baterria - Bliss from the Kab Driver

12) Lakker - Valentina Lane- Deep deep underground ! I was so excited to hear they were Irish. From the great 'Untitled' [SA019]EP Stroboscopic Artefacts

13) Lakker- EeAea - Love this off the wall deepness

14) Marc Romboy vs Stephan Bodzin - Atlas - Ok Bodzin wishes he was Irish but Marc Romboy is one of Ireland's greatest exports besides Guinness.

15) Donnacha Costello - Leaving Berlin - Another big Irish name in electronic music circles

16) Marc Romboy vs Blake Baxter - Muzik (Version 1) - It appears Marc Romboy likes to run around vS people :) great track]]>

This week we welcome back to the #DuskDubs studio, the man they call Depoeism, having already provided two previous volumes, you know exactly what you’re going to get from Depo. A volume full of tracks that come straight from the heart, selections that have informed his musical upbringing and that have shaped him as a person, this is also reflected in the artwork that he has chosen to use – taking it back to where it all started for him. It literally speaks “volumes”.

This is what the #DuskDubs family love about Depo, he is truly committed to the #DuskDubs cause, he wears his #DuskDubs heart on his sleeve and without fail, always comes correct when we ask him for a volume.

We love Depo, one of the many things you can learn from him, it’s that positivity outweighs negativity. He’s taught us that if you find yourself in a place that isn’t too great, find something positive that gets you through. He’s an inspiration to us all, personally and collectively. And he’ll never accept it as he’s so bloody humble haha!

Here are a few words from the man himself:

“This selection of Trip-Hop, Jazz and plenty of bass reminds me of back in the day, when things would get a bit too much. I would stick on some jazz infused trip-hop to help me relax and forget about my worries. Living in Grove and then The Avenues was tough as a kid, but my love for Graffiti and music blended with a tight group of friends made me the person I am today.

Bless up fam and enjoy my Journey!

This week we welcome another selector who has been a big fan and supporter of #DuskDubs from the very beginning. For Vol.42 we welcome Oldskool Rhythm to the #DuskDubs studios.

His love of music started way back in the 1980's, embracing the whole Hip-Hop/Electro vibe which was sweeping through the UK at the time. Like so many of us who grew up in a musical house, his siblings would provide many different influences, from jazz, blues, funk & soul and even Chicago house, anything from James Brown to Blondie would be playing on a regular basis.

But it wasn't until 1991/1992 that he found the whole rave scene, spending most Saturdays at the now legendary record shops Boogie Times, Lucky Spin and Blackmarket Records, getting his hands on the latest releases, picking up flyers and tickets for upcoming raves. His most memorable rave to date is XL Showcase Vision - Popham Airfield in 1992, 40,000 ravers and Prodigy live P.A......SAY NO MORE!

Here are a few words from the man himself….

“I’ve been collecting vinyl since the early 80's, survived the rave scene. Still buy the odd bit of vinyl that evaded me over the years. Now the digital age is upon us, record shopping days are few & far between. Sitting on your sofa buying Wav/mp3, for me definitely takes the fun out of it a bit. However it does make music much more accessible.“

This week, it gives us great pleasure to pass the controls over to Dusk Dubs stalwart, General Camel. The General has been an instrumental cog in the Dusk Dubs machine since the first ever post on twitter, even before the mixtape series began. He has been a constant driver of amazing music, amazing ideas and amazing selectors. Although happily in the background, we need to make clear, that every record, from all 41 volumes, has passed his ears for approval before any further steps are taken. That is how much respect we all have for the guy. He also has many conversations, with people I can’t yet mention, about the potential of them doing a volume. So when, for example, someone posts a tune buy a massive artist on twitter, we’re not joking when we say “you emailing him General?” We are blessed that he exists. And he is blessed if he has a beer in his hand and some good music playing. I think, in the hustle and bustle of this industry, everyone needs a General Camel. We have ours, and all I’ll say is this....get your own, as the General belongs to us! Salute!

Here are a few words from the General himself:

“WOW, Vol 41! It's hard to believe #DuskDubs would have come this far from the very 1st Volume way back in August last year. I think it shows how this project is very special and unique. It really is testament to the #DuskDubs team who put a lot of time and effort in to making sure every volume is of highest quality and is released every Sunday without fail, to every selector for bringing their own distinctive sound and personal touch, and of course the people who listen each and every week. BIG UP EVERYONE!

It's always a pleasure when I get to drop my selections off into the #DuskDubs studio for Harrision to work his magic on and I'm sure everyone will agree, he does a great job each and every week. Nice one Tommy!

For this Volume I've added a few personal favourites of mine, from the likes of..... A Man Called Adam, Lemon Jelly, Lamb and a real deep emotional track from Craig Armstrong. I think this volume is a little different from my previous ones but is still perfect for the #DuskDubs mix series. So sit back, crack open a beer and enjoy the music.....

Big shout to Gidman for helping out through my #DuskDubs dilemmas (wobble) on this Volume.....ha ha!

Here are a few words from the General himself:

“WOW, Vol 41! It's hard to believe #DuskDubs would have come this far from the very 1st Volume way back in August last year. I think it shows how this project is very special and unique. It really is testament to the #DuskDubs team who put a lot of time and effort in to making sure every volume is of highest quality and is released every Sunday without fail, to every selector for bringing their own distinctive sound and personal touch, and of course the people who listen each and every week. BIG UP EVERYONE!

It's always a pleasure when I get to drop my selections off into the #DuskDubs studio for Harrision to work his magic on and I'm sure everyone will agree, he does a great job each and every week. Nice one Tommy!

For this Volume I've added a few personal favourites of mine, from the likes of..... A Man Called Adam, Lemon Jelly, Lamb and a real deep emotional track from Craig Armstrong. I think this volume is a little different from my previous ones but is still perfect for the #DuskDubs mix series. So sit back, crack open a beer and enjoy the music.....

Big shout to Gidman for helping out through my #DuskDubs dilemmas (wobble) on this Volume.....ha ha!

General Camel”

This week we have invited a very special guest to join us in celebrating a further milestone for #DuskDubs- 40 mix tapes in 40 weeks. We are truly proud and excited to have Ram Records producer Flatliner providing his selections for his own personal take on our #DuskDubs series.

Hailing from Romford, Flatliner has been involved in music since his teens, knocking around the now famous independent record shop “Boogie Times” and bumping into the likes of Danny Breaks and Ant Miles, he soon started to produce, eventually releasing on Andy C’s Ram Records.

From early on Flatliner has shown a deep interest in #DuskDubs, supporting each weeks release and championing one of the main aspects of our series – “Introducing listeners to music they may not have heard of before”

So in Flatliner’s own words, Here “…is a potted history of some of my most favourite and inspirational records spanning the last few decades. Enjoy”

**Tracklisting**

1) Title Music from A Clockwork Orange by Wendy Carlos, 1972

I never saw A Clockwork Orange until I was about 25. I knew of its cult status and how it divided fans of the original book but for me, A Clockwork Orange is an incredible film and the synth laden soundtrack is just as iconic. This brooding 2 minute intro tells you in an instant everything you need to know about the dark and disturbing world occupied by Alex & his merry droogs.

2) Analogue Bubblebath 1 by Aphex Twin, 1991

Allegedly recorded in 1987, Analogue Bubblebath 1 featured on the UK 12" version of the Digeridoo EP on R&S Records. I originally bought vinyl for the track Digeridoo but found this lurking on there aswell. The more I listened to it, the more I fell in love with it. Its mixture of church organ like warmth and gentle synthesised drums still sends shivers down my spine even now.

3) Can You Feel It by Mr.Fingers, 1986

It still amazes me how something so simple, so under stated and with respect, so old can still sound as fresh as this does almost 30 years later. A truly remarkable achievement. This sits in my selection purely because of its sheer perfection.

4) De-Orbit by Speedy J, 1991

Just like Aphex Twin, Speedy J was another mainly techno artist I keenly followed throughout the years. I first heard De-Orbit on a Colin Dale Abstract Dance show on Kiss FM and the mix of synths, bleeps and rolling breaks was an absolute winner.

5) Unity by Timebase, 1991

So here we are, one the best examples of how to write a serious hardcore tune, this track has absolutely everything. What made it even more special for me was the close association with my hometown of Romford in Essex. It blew my mind as a 15 year old that this piece of vinyl I was holding was actually made a stones throw away from my mums house, and not in some big fancy studio.

6) Flying by Basement Phil & the Engineers, 1992

I remember buying a couple of Yaman mixtapes from some guy in Carnaby Street, one such tape was mixed by LTJ Bukem. I listened to the tape on my trusty Walkman on the train back home and this track Flying was on there and I instantly liked it. However, it wasn't until many years later that I even found out the name of it.

7) Hidden Camera by Photek, 1996

Photeks contribution to the scene in all its many guises throughout the years cannot be under estimated. None more so than his era of Modus Operandi and the Hidden Camera. The thing I loved about Photeks music is that you never knew what you was gonna get. Here we have the Hidden Camera, a slow, lumbering beast of a track chock full of tight and technical percussion, solid drums and rolling bass.

8) Cosmic Interlude by LTJ Bukem, 1997

LTJ Bukem was already a household name for most and probably one of the most prolific producers ever to grace the scene. The whole D&B scene had started to get very dark & very technical in and around 96-97, I personally loved it but for some, it was getting too much. Cosmic Interlude was almost a kick back to all that. Taking the music back to its roots, slowing the pace and throwing back in the warmth and character. A truly stunning piece.

9) Aquarius by Boards of Canada, 1998

It was around about this time that I started opening up my ears to new sounds and not just jungle / Drum & Bass all the time. I started buying things on NinjaTune and Warp Records especially. Artists like Plaid, Cinematic Orchestra and Boards of Canada featured heavily, and it was their album Music Has the Right to Children that had the biggest impact on me. Managing to sound retro yet cutting edge, euphoric yet melancholy was their trademark sound and Aquarius does exactly that.

10) Between Us and Them by Ulrich Schnauss, 2001

In the same vein as Boards of Canada, Ulrich Schnauss specialised in simply making you feel good via the medium of sound and music, and at times making feel as if you were a child again. This was evident on his 2001 album Far Away Trains Passing By, of which this chosen track features. This is late night, headphones on type of music. It's evocative of days gone by and those yet to come.

11) Guidance by Synkro & Indigo, 2011

Last but not least, Guidance, one of the best tracks I have ever heard, in any genre. I'm a big believer in music taking you somewhere, it's gotta make you feel something, not just be noise for noise sake and in between the crackles, snare rolls and glitching beats is a beautiful, heart wrenching love story.

Thank you for listening to my Dusk Dubs selection, I hope you've enjoyed the music I chose. It has been an immense pleasure going through all old stuff and reliving those warm memories.

Peace out, Michael.]]>

This week it is our pleasure to bring to you another amazing selector for the #DuskDubs series.

Volume 39 sees Nibbers pass by the #DuskDubs studio with a selection of records that fit perfectly with our ethos. Nibbers has been a solid supporter of our weekly podcasts since first meeting Original Gidman at the #JOAJ party at the beginning of 2014 – after much discussion and a couple of beers it was clear that he truly understood and connected with the concept of #DuskDubs. It was clear he was a lover of all genres of music, so we couldn’t wait to receive a volume from him. So, standby for an amazing ‘journey in dub’ from the man himself, Nibbers

Below are a few words from this week’s selector…..

“ I have been collecting vinyl for a few years, incessantly and obsessively.

I love a lot of musical genres, there’s one red line that goes through my collection, regardless of the tempo, it’s: soul. Music with soul, it’s what I’m living for (please note that: living for not collecting). Vinyl junkie, vinyl nutter, call me as you want, that’s what I am and I’m very proud.

I do run an all vinyl monthly night since 4 years ago with few DJ partners, who share the same love for the analogue sound (two nights actually: Interlight – Old Skool Jungle/Hardcore/Reggae & Siege Mentality) at the infamous Castle Pub in Aldgate East.. My all time dream (or one of the few, at least) it’s bringing back a night featuring a very specific sound, inspired by the legendary Speed at the Mars Bar, in Soho. One day I will and it will showcase the best and the deepest sound, known to man. Across the genre, undiluted deep, dubbed out, beautiful sound.

Until then, here you can hear a little selection I did put together, featuring a few of my favourite records. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did while compiling. Ah, you can catch me playing every other Saturday between 12:30 and 14:30 on www.jungletrain.net strictly Old Skool jungle and Hardcore, or once a month on the mighty www.purple-radio.co.uk.

Now close your eyes and follow me…“

This week we have the long overdue return of the mighty DJ Charge to the #DuskDubs studio, and as always he has brought with him a heavyweight selection. Charge is an original, he represents the music scene perfectly and his journey is always one we love hearing. So, let him take you.....

We present... DJ Charge

“The first Dusk Dubs for me was a nervous step into the Unknown but I loved creating it a huge thank you to everyone who supported Vol.13. The feedback blew me away and inspired me to come back for more. As before, when compiling this selection I drew on the vibes created in previous vols. The tracklist follows a similar journey to Vol.13, taking you to every corner of the dance scene with the emphasis on bass and a heavy jungle influence. Once again I’ve loved putting this together and hope you enjoy the mix. Big up all Dusk Dubs cru.“

**Tracklisting**

1) John Holt - Police In Helicopter

Police in Helicopter - The jungle version made me hunt this track out & it has everything. Vibes, bass and a lyric that you can't help but sing along to. Proppa feel good music.

2) The Revolutionaries - Kunta Kinte (Dub)

Kunte Kinte - Another track that has jungle connections and is a tune that I've loved for 20 odd years. I went for the legendary Channel one mix as the bass on this is something to behold! This tune was made for Dusk Dubs.

3) Digital – Shanty

Shanty - I love Digital & when thinking about Dusk Dubs selections he has to be the producer that pops up the most. We're still very much in the Dub part of this mix but I love the fact I'm able to throw in some jungle fused Dub. Its haunting sounds and rolling bass is perfect whilst taking the tempo up a notch.

4) Dub Pistols - World Gone Crazy

World Gone Crazy - Andy Horace is a legend, such a great voice and this tune again delivers on every Dusk Dubs level. One of those tracks I always turn to when I need a boost so had to be in the mix.

5) Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored (Bloody Valentine Edit)

I Wanna Be Adored Remix - When putting this mix together I wanted to recognise what ‘Madchester’ did for our scene, dropping an original roses or Mondays track would have been tough but this remix is an unbelievable tune, it captures that raw madness of our early scene whilst still staying true to its original. The perfect track to kick off the next part of our journey.

6) The Beloved - Sun Rising

Sun Rising – Tuuuuuuuune! I've loved this from the very first time I heard it as a 13 year old. Whenever I hear it, it takes me back to hot summer nights listening to tapes wishing I was just a few years older and able to run around the countryside chasing those raves I kept reading about.

7) Orbital – Belfast

Belfast - same tune is sampled in this as Sun Rising, Orbital are another group that had to feature as without them there would be no Dusk in Dusk Dubs. Any number of tracks could have been selected by this slipped into the mix just perfectly.

8) LTJ Bukem – Music

Music - Dusk and Dub rolled into one, arguably the most seminal jungle tune ever made. I can’t believe this hasn't featured before and was the first track on my list for this volume. Just close your eyes forget your name and let music take you.

9) Loxy & Naibu - Hajime VIP

Hajime VIP - Wow what a tune. Loxy & Nabu on the controls of this dirty bass roller. Such underrated producers who definitely deserve more recognition.

10) Dub Phizix and Skeptical feat Strategy - Marka

Marka - I fell in love with this tune the first time I heard it, destroys the dance, your headphones or bedroom speakers. Deep bass phenomenal chat and a vibe that makes you just want to Brockout.

11) Etherwood - Begin By Letting Go

Letting go - Dusk Dubs legend Camel put me onto this amazing producer. His recently released album is quality from. Start to finish. This track has it all. Just beautiful, beautiful music & a perfect contrast to the inner city grime of Marka.

12) Rae & Christian – SpellBound

Spellbound - I first fell in love with Rae & Christian in 97 they were the perfect soundtrack to one hell of a summer. This tune always takes me back to the good times on a Whitechapel roof terrace without a care in the world & is the perfect way to sign off this volume.]]>

This week dropping off his selections into the #DuskDubs studio, we welcome Bartisimmo. 'BART' like most of our selectors has been a big supporter of the Dusk Dubs mix series from the very beginning.

Bart's musical journey began in early 90's going to legendary clubs, The Hacienda (Manchester), Golden (Stoke), Wobble (Birmingham), Seeing DJ's like Sasha, John Digweed and Andrew Weatherall.

He was also a regular at a night called 'Splosh' in the Midlands, who had the likes of Neil Macey and Steve Griffiths. He instantly fell in love with the music they were playing and spent most of his student loan buying vinyl from 'Volume Records' in Sunderland, on the occasional trip home, he would spend any cash he had left in 'Hard 2 Find & Global Grooves Records' in Birmingham.

In 1994 Bart got his 1st pair of belt drive decks, because he'd spent most of his money on Vinyl they weren't even the same make but that didn't matter, it was just a means of playing all this amazing music he'd been buying and watching these DJ's play week in, week out.

He started to play at a few local parties but Bart's real forte was on the dance floor. Part time DJ - Full time 'RAVER', his passion for the music, the scene and the whole party culture ethos, is still as strong today as it was back in those early days.

Welcome to the #DuskDubs family Bart!

Here are a few words from the man himself:

"First off a massive thanks to the Dusk Dubs guys for allowing me to do this, really is an honour. Been a big fan of all the selections so far, something always to look forward to on a Sunday, and it's a great way of connecting what's clearly a group of like-minded individuals with varied and eclectic musical tastes.

With the only audiences I personally DJ to these days being myself in my bedroom (and the next door neighbours if I crank it up) this selection may be a bit different to some of the ones that have gone before.

What this selection attempts to do is to collate tunes and/or remixes by artists that have been a massive influence on the journey I've been on with Electronic music since the early nineties, whether they're from a time when I bought them on vinyl, heard them at an all-nighter, or back at a house party. They include tunes from the West Coast of America, UK "Progressive House" stalwarts from the likes of Guerilla Records and Hard Hands, through to my main love, the UK Breakbeat scene.

One thing I've learned in this 20 year journey (that's still on-going) is to be open minded about genres. Deep House, Progressive House, Garage, Breakbeat, Ambient, Chillout, Dubstep, Drum N Bass, Jungle or Techno, I don't label it anymore. I'll give anything a listen, and over recent times I've found myself listening, and even enjoying some of the genres that I wouldn't have gone near 15 years ago. When someone says "listen to this" now, instead of asking "what style is it", I just give it a listen, and by just giving it a listen, I've found more often than not that my musical horizons have been broadened and are all the better for it.

Anyway, enough ranting. Hope you enjoy it, won't be offended if you don't, but if you don't enjoy it, at least you gave it a listen which is all that matters.

Cheers

Simon aka Bartisimmo aka Bart"

This week.....I step up and hopefully do this incredible, worldwide family proud. Words cannot describe how much Dusk Dubs is more than a mix series. It really is a family. Every picture I see of someone wearing the name, every tweet I see with it mentioned, every conversation I hear, just makes me feel blessed.

We have something honest, pure and wholesome that is our sacred home away from the fakery and flashing lights that we care not for. Our records have come to life again.

Thank you to all the Dusk Dubs family.

Seeing as this is my mixtape, Original Gidman and General Gamel have done the bit I normally do. Can’t be blowing my own trumpet hey?

“Most weeks, we have the pleasure of introducing a new selector to the #DuskDubs faithful, however this week we are extremely pleased to be announcing the long awaited return of our resident DJ Harrison, into the selectors shoes – “It’s been far too long. Bruv...” ‘Week in week out’… without fail, Harrison can be found in the #DuskDubs studio, mixing the latest volume – his commitment to #DuskDubs is flawless ….. even mixing a volume on the weekend his baby daughter was born – now that is dedication to the cause….. Big up sir. Even during the earliest discussions of the concept of #DuskDubs , it was clear to us that the passion/vibe of our project ran deep within Harrison, his ethos is clearly linked to his personal attitude to music… to be true to your musical convictions, and always support and be positive. This devotion is not just in his soul but is clearly visible in his record collection too…. and it is this in particular, that we are so excited to be bringing to you this week….. “Salute to you bruv and massive respect… each and every time”

Records Featured

Harmonic 313 – Music Substitute System
Taken from Mark Pritchard’s solo album ‘When Machines Exceed Human Intelligence’. Those familiar with my ‘Hypersleep’ mix will recognise this straight away. I included this track for 2 reasons. 1, Pritch is a massive inspiration to me. Never being confined to genres and always pushing boundaries.

And 2, the Hypersleep mix I did, was a real labour of love, took weeks to put together all for just over an hour mix. Dedication and a reminder to myself to push myself more and believe in my own ability.
(Tommyharrison – Harrison-hypersleep)

DFRNT – Incubus
Just an incredible ‘outside the box’ dub techno production on one of my favourite labels, Echodub. I have so many DFRNT records to choose from, but this one felt right to set the scene for Dusk Dubs, taken from the album ‘Fading’. The whole album is just beautiful. Highly recommended (Dfrnt – Dfrnt-fading-album-promo-mix)

Big Bud – Runaway (Backward Dub)
Bug Bud is a stalwart of Good Looking Records. Another musician. Pure and simple. Here is a move away from the drums and bass vibes.

2562 – Redux
This was a tricky one. Simply because I own so many 2562 / A Made up Sound records. His sound is of a pure techno nature heavily merged with that Rhythm and Sound Berlin dub and atmosphere vibe. This, just pops back and forth with those reverbing stabs. Perfect!
:
Teeth – Shawty
Another artist I’m a big fan of. Teeth dropped this on 502 with a wicked remix from Ninja Tune’s Falty DL which, hands up, was the reason I bought it. But, this original mix....epitomises Dusk Dubs in my head. Trippy music that fills the room with a warm atmosphere. I basically love 140bpm records that make you sway. Sick.

Kahn – Polar
Not really much to say about Kahn but he’s a proper bad man. His records sit heavy in my bag. If you need a ‘lighters up’ rumble and bounce, he’s the man. This one is unreleased but you can grab a copy at Electronic Explorations.

Objekt – Tinderbox
Chosing an Objekt track was tricky, as with many artists I’ve featured, I could play 6 or 7 or their tracks easily. I have no favourite. This one made it though, simply for the transition across the track and for the fact that I’ve only ever played it out once. I think I made some girls cry.

Hello Skinny - Oduor Nyagweno meets Owiny Sigoma Uptown
Hello Skinny from Owiny Sigoma Band drops a bumping techno track on Brownswood. Something amazing about this track. For the life of me, I cant decide, but it hits me just sweet. Grab a copy here (www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/free-down…a-uptown/ )

Volunteer – . -..- .--. . .-. .. -- . -. - -... .-. .- ...- ---
Dub techno and ambient music sits heavily in my soul. It moves me, makes sense to me, i basically love it. This track came my way and I was mesmerised immediately. I highly recommend you check the video made by the incredible ‘A I X E L E N T’ when listening to this beautiful dub techno track by Volunteer (www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JOYyH7Sq…&feature=youtu.be).
You can also grab a copy of the track here (Volunteer – Volunteer-1)

Fingers in The Noise – 1:06 AM
Track taken from "Insomnia EP" which is written & Produced By Laurent Bisch. Released on Basic Sounds Netlabel, Fingers in the Noise is another big inspiration to me. He makes the most incredible music, and pretty much all of it is free for people to listen, own and play. And he doesn’t care, its honest, it’s pure, and he represents the Dub Techno world for me beautifully.

3 Chairs – System Sauce
3 Chairs is a collective made up of Rick Wilhite, Marcellus Pittman, Theo Parrish & Kenny Dixon Jr. So it’s no surprise that this track has that Motor City feel to it. Lots of dirty percussion, looped samples and live keys. These guys really know how to take some familiar elements from old records, turn into something new but still remaining faithful to the original material. Proper late night science.

Theo Parrish – Lost Keys
Again, Theo Parrish is an artist I hold close to my soul. His ethos is something I love and respect massively. Theo Parrish inspired much of Dusk Dubs. For him, the selection process is where it’s at. Maybe we should drop him an message and see if he’s up to it. To be fair, he has 35 big, big volumes to follow so we’ll see. This track is so recognisable, it had to be my choice.

Jay Dee – Dreamy
Jay Dee – On the 1
Dilla was a genius, humble, amazing, hard working man who is sorely missed. But he lives on through his beats, family, his friends and fans, and through the J Dilla Foundation. Long may that continue. Another big, big inspiration. www.officialjdilla.com/

Quasimoto – Basic Instinct
Lord Quas, ‘guided’ by Madlib is wicked. That is all. This one in particular means something to me more from this video, as it has a quote from William Gibson that I think about daily.
"Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, first make sure that you´re not, in fact, surrounding yourself with assholes"
(William Gibson)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ55MXP8kbU&feature=kp

Comfort Fit – Hatphones
Taken from Comfort Fit's album, Worlds Falling Apart on First Word Records. I love that instrumentation of sounds and glitch funk.

Flying Lotus – Breathe. Something/Stellar Star
Flying Lotus makes music that is other worldly. This one just makes my heart fly and my mind drift somewhere beautiful.

Aquarius & Tayla – Soul Searching
At some point I had to drop a record from my massive drum and bass collection. It was hard to choose no doubt. I wanted to pick one, that had that thing that I love about this genre of intelligent, atmospheric, musical, drum and bass.

Nookie – Only You
There is one track, among the thousands I own, that no matter what time of day, where I am, how I’m feeling, make me stop and feel instantly amazing. This one!

Steve has been a massive supporter of Dusk Dubs and beyond from the start. Probably because the sounds we have featured have fed his incredible thirst for all things musical. Steve's selections reflect his love for the glitch, the techno, the leftfield, the genre-less. Sounds that were possibly created by non-humans. Music that seemed to just generate alone. His volume is moody, other worldly, thought provoking and purely incredible. It deserves your full attention.

Here are a few words from the man himself:

"Deep, dirty and dubby best describes my selection of music for this mix tape. I've included some of my all time favourite tracks - Amon tobin, BOC etc. Advice for maximum enjoyment, close the curtains and turn it up "

I have been Dj'ing since 1991 and always loved the stranger side of music . In the early days my record shopping was an "addiction" where everytime i would buy food it would be a choice between Chicken or "that new tune by The Ragga twins" ....... i went hungry alot ! . I used to love going to 'Lucky spin' , '5HQ' & Black market' to buy my vinyl , these days its MP3's and Cd's just because its alot cheaper and alot easier to carry but i still do play vinyl now and then . Today i play pretty much anything that takes my fancy at the time . I've never tried to play to the 'masses' and just play for me , even in the old days when i used to dj the promoters would put me on last so i would 'clear' the club. I now dj on a monthy basis

Dusk Dubs returns this week with another incredible journey through sounds, this week, the return of DZG303 with a journey through space inspired sounds.ry and let your users know a little more about you.

DZG303's first volume, which should have included a “Government BASS warning”, went down very well with all the Dusk Dubs faithful, and for that reason alone we felt it was necessary to invite him back. We’d like to thank DZG303 for his constant support of every new selector as well as the usual suspects. Since his first volume DZG303 has been down in his ‘Record Vaults’ and this next volume is testament to that.

Find him here:

www.twitter.com/DZG303

Here are a few words from the man himself:

"First up I’d like to thank Original Gidman, Harrison & General Camel for asking me back for another volume of Dusk Dubs. Cheers fella's.

I was totally blown away by the reception of my first volume and I am seriously in awe of the support and love for the Dusk Dubs series which grows stronger by the day. Big up to you all, you know who you are.

For this volume I was digging in my collection looking for suitable tracks while listening to my iPod on shuffle for inspiration. Suddenly a ‘Yello’ tune popped up in my ears that I hadn't heard for a long while (more on that later).

Boom, Dusk Dubs Beyond Earth was born!!

Not only aforementioned track, but the band themselves have inspired and amazed me over the years and are true pioneers of electronica. Their first two albums, Solid Pleasure (1980) and Claro Qui Si (1981), are still two of my all-time favourite albums released on The Residents’ Ralph Records, and deservedly so.

Anyway I could go on forever about those two bands as Gidman well knows lol.

Sit back, close your eyes and drift away. "

1) Yello - Solar Driftwood
From the album Pocket Universe (1996). Can’t big up Yello enough but prefer their earlier, more experimental albums although their latest offering is a very nice jazzy sunday affair. Check them out

Apollo 10 God Speed - Actual NASA recording from space

2) Future Sound of London - Factories & Assembly
From the album Environments 2 (2008) on their own FSOL label. Love FSOL and anything they do, including Amorphous Androgynous in their psychedelic mode. Well worth checking out

Cosmonaut Voice

3) Arp 101 - Warriors Galactic
Released in 2010 on the excellent Eglo Records. This just oozes analogue synthesis, which I love, and sounds real old school with a polished contemporary feel. Class, ramp this one UP

4) Aphex Twin - We Are The Music Makers
From the album Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (1992). On the mighty R&S Records, you need this album, 100% classic, Richard D James in full effect. Watch ya bassbins on this one, play it loud

5) Amorphous Androgynous – Ephidrena
From the album Tales of Ephidrina (1993) on Quigley Records. Amazing sounds on this one, early FSOL imprint before AA went psych. More FSOL than AA, but love both their styles

6) Herbie Hancock – Wisdom
From Future 2 future (2001). What can I say about HH?? 21st century Jazz as only he can do. Check the album, a must. Rockit, nuff said

7) Dimensional Holofonic Sound - Venus The Morning Star (2002) from Attention Earth People on Tino Corp. Records. Part of the huge Meat beat Manifesto outfit and a don on the electronic front and helped pioneer the art of video scratching!!! amazing.

8) Basic Soul Unit - Swept Up (2012)
Nonplus Records 12". Says it all, get swept up in this one. BOOM

9) Space Dimension Controller - Mercurial Attraction (2010)
On Temporary Thrillz 12” R&S Records. Apparently from the future, another amazing analogue sounding futuristic masterpiece

10) Warp 9 - Light Years Away
From Prism Records in 1983! Crucial Electro 1. Classic. Nothing more to say

11) System 7 - Quest (Moon Mix) (1993)
12" on Big Life Records. An early Techno master Float away

12) Rhythm & Sound - Poor People Must Work (Carl Craig Remix) (2008)
Studio !K7 Records. From the album ‘Carl Craig – Sessions’. The don of Detroit Techno comes correct again and again

13) Vangelis - Tears in the Rain
From the motion Picture Blade Runner. All time classic]]>
Dusk Dubs returns this week with another incredible journey through sounds, this week, the return of DZG303 with a journey through space inspired sounds.ry and let your users know a little more about you.

DZG303's first volume, which should have included a “Government BASS warning”, went down very well with all the Dusk Dubs faithful, and for that reason alone we felt it was necessary to invite him back. We’d like to thank DZG303 for his constant support of every new selector as well as the usual suspects. Since his first volume DZG303 has been down in his ‘Record Vaults’ and this next volume is testament to that.

Find him here:

www.twitter.com/DZG303

Here are a few words from the man himself:

"First up I’d like to thank Original Gidman, Harrison & General Camel for asking me back for another volume of Dusk Dubs. Cheers fella's.

I was totally blown away by the reception of my first volume and I am seriously in awe of the support and love for the Dusk Dubs series which grows stronger by the day. Big up to you all, you know who you are.

For this volume I was digging in my collection looking for suitable tracks while listening to my iPod on shuffle for inspiration. Suddenly a ‘Yello’ tune popped up in my ears that I hadn't heard for a long while (more on that later).

Boom, Dusk Dubs Beyond Earth was born!!

Not only aforementioned track, but the band themselves have inspired and amazed me over the years and are true pioneers of electronica. Their first two albums, Solid Pleasure (1980) and Claro Qui Si (1981), are still two of my all-time favourite albums released on The Residents’ Ralph Records, and deservedly so.

Anyway I could go on forever about those two bands as Gidman well knows lol.

Sit back, close your eyes and drift away. "

To say Twindad is a massive supported of Dusk Dubs is unfair on him. In reality, Twindad is a massive supporter of people and good honest music. He fully knows his stuff. So when he offers feedback, advice or a recommendation…you really sit up and listen. We love that about him, he's humble, but intensely knowledgeable. A perfect combination for Dusk Dubs.

It's with great pleasure the we present his selections, and we know the time spent crate digging will be reflected in the quality of his records.

Here are a few words from the man himself:

"First off, thank you for inviting me to do this, it is an honor. When I was asked if I would like to submit music for a volume of #Duskdubs, I can tell you I was as giddy as a schoolgirl (ask Gidman).

I tried to stay true to the “Dub” sound without veering too much. I’ve included both old & newer tracks and started on the slower side and bumping it up towards the end. Hopefully you discover something new or re-discover long lost tracks. Please put on your headphones and relax. Hope you enjoy the ride. (Not responsible for hearing loss)"

Micade has been a Producer and DJ we've been wanting on board for some time. As a DJ, he manages to create incredible vibes, as a producer he has managed to do what many dream of...and that is to create his own very recognisable sound. It can only be described as the Micadian sound. To us, its funk, its energy, its sheer class. Micade also creates all his own sounds from scratch, again, showing what a dedicated and hard working guy he is. on a personal note, Micade is a huge supporter of others. He trawls places searching for new artists, offering encouragement. Its fair to say he's a positive man. All praise he receives is thoroughly deserved. So, We give you...the electrofunky alien that is Micade!

"When I was first asked to do a selection for the Duskdubs series, I thought about the concept for quiet a while & eventually, came to the conclusion that it signifies a time when all you felt like, was just chilling. I was reminded of my days playing at the dingiest nightclub, tucked away in the worst part of Johannesburg for extra cash, getting to play, not the normal stomping house I was used to, but a more laidback trip-hop vibe, well into the morning. Not surprising then that a lot of the tracks I chose are from the mid 90’s a time when I got back home, the next day many a time, under the weather so to speak…;-) & these tracks hit a cord with me then and still do, to this day….So enjoy the vibe…;-) I included one of my tracks in the selection, merely because it was made as a tribute to the laidback days."

Dusk Dubs returns this week with another very special guest, perfect to celebrate another milestone of 30 mix tapes in a row. We are immensely blessed to have the boss of Skeleton Recordings DJ Monita provide his selections for his own Dusk Dubs Mix Tape.

DJ Monita (pronounced ‘Monitor’) was born and raised in West London. While on a holiday to Tenerife in the summer of ’89 he discovered a new sound that he immediately fell for which was different to the Hip-Hop and Electro he was into but also still similar in many ways. Shortly after returning back home he started hitting the rave scene, enjoying big nights out at Biology and Raindance. This is what led him to start buying vinyl, a set of decks and starting to DJ.

Monita owns the label Skeleton Recordings, which ran from 1992 to 1994 and had 13 releases on it.

He put the DJ’ing and producing on the back burner for many years after becoming a family man, but recently he has become involved again. This year will see the back catalogue and unreleased tracks from Skeleton going up for digital download as well as some new releases on a revamped Skeleton label. Available from www.hardcorejunglism.com/

Here are a few words from the man himself:

“When Jon asked if I wanted to be involved in #DuskDubs I couldn’t say no really as it would be nice to have my name stamped on one of the volumes. It’s a brilliant project that has a really good group of people behind it, a nice little following and I’m grateful to now be a part of it.

My take on this volume of #DuskDubs is a little different to some of the others, as I wanted to put together 60 minutes of tunes that are maybe not as obscure as some selected in the other volumes and hopefully everyone will know. I’ve based it on the ‘Dusk’ side instead of the ‘Dubs’ side, something that you can stick on when you return home in the early hours after a heavy night out.

The ’88 to ’90 tracks I have chosen mean a lot to me, as they are from a period in my life when I first started my underground partying, and ‘Dannys Song’ is probably one of the most emotional Drum & Bass productions I have ever heard and it still gives me goose bumps to this day.

It was great to put all this together for the #DuskDubs family.

So kick back, relax and enjoy the next 60 minutes"

Dusk Dubs returns again, and this week its battle royal time! It was about time that we threw the gauntlet down, turn the faders up, and asked two Dusk Dubs heavyweights to go toe to toe in a Dub War.

Both selectors bring their box of records, making their choices wisely, trying to outdo the other. I ready the sound system, play their tunes, mediate, and throw in the odd air-horn. Well, it is Dusk Dubs after all!

Stepping up, we have Original Gidman and General Camel. 'The Oracle' Vs 'The Ninja'….. 'The 89-93 Raver' Vs 'The 92-97 Raver'.

Will The General respect his elder? Will The Gidman have the stamina? Who will be the last man standing?

It's officially time to let the music do the talking!

We present…. DUSK DUBS - THE BIG SHOWDOWN

**Tracklisting**

GENERAL CAMEL
Prince Jammy – Life is a Moment in Space
A classic 1982 dub version of Wayne Smith’s ‘Time is a Moment’ which amazingly, is based around Barbara Streisand's ‘Woman In Love’ melody.
What an opener!

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
Mikey Dread – Operators Choice
Recorded in 1979 between the legendary Channel One Recording Studios and King Tubby Studios, this crazy dub can be found on African Anthem (The Mikey Dread Show Dubwise) LP.

GENERAL CAMEL
Rae & Christian – Catch a Rude Awakening
Featured on the 1998 album ‘Northern Sulphuric Soul’, this is a classic Rae & Christian riddim and a serious ‘Mancunian Head-Nodder’.

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
MC Shan – The Bridge (Bladerunners Dub)
This version can be found on the extended 4xLP ‘Down by Law’ album, and hits you with an old school party breaks vibe. “Keep Rockin’ The Beat”!

GENERAL CAMEL
The Ragga Twins - Hooligan 69
A ‘Bleep & Bass’ classic from The Ragga Twins, aka Flinty Badman & Deman Rocker. On one of the UK’s pioneering ‘breakbeat’ labels, 'Shut Up & Dance'. Originally released in 1990 and then again in 1991, this track was a firm favourite back in the day with DJ’s and ravers alike. Who can forget when that Prince sample would drop followed by the bleeps followed by that bass. Dance floor destruction guaranteed.

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
Prince Fatty – Insane in the Brain
Released in 2010 on the 'Mr Bongo' imprint out of Brighton. This version of Cypress Hill’s ‘Insane in the Brain’ bounces along to a reggae/ska beat, with reverb and echo layered underneath Horsemouth’s delivery.
Definitely a ‘sing-a-long’ moment for the dance.

GENERAL CAMEL
Rebel MC – Comin’ on Strong (Ruff Neck Mix)
Released in 1990 on Desire Records, Michael West aka Rebel MC (later to become Congo Natty), was one of the first artists from the UK Rave/Hardcore scene to begin merging reggae/ragga vibes with UK breakbeat well ahead of the Jungle Sound that would follow. This featured Tenor Fly, who would also appear on a number of classics from that period including ‘The Wickedest Sound’ and ‘Tribal Base’.

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five ‎– The Message (Paul Nice Super Duty Bootleg Mash Up)
A true Hip-Hop anthem no doubt, but this time flipped with a reggae/dub vibe by Paul Kilianski, aka Paul Nice, out of New York. Known for his classic mix tapes during the late 1990’s, Paul mashes up the Furious Five’s rap over a skankin’ reggae beat with additional reverb and classic melodica.

GENERAL CAMEL
Depeche Mode – Useless (K&D Session Remix)
An amazing remix by Kruder & Dorfmeister, who manage to turn Depeche Mode’s rock anthem into a blissed-out dub classic. At this point in their musical career, K&D seemed to be hitting that ‘Purple Patch’ as can be heard in the Compilation ‘The K&D Sessions’ (1998).

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
Primal Scream – Come Together (Andrew Weatherall Remix)
Possibly Mr Weatherall’s finest moment as a producer. He managed to combine the dance sensibilities of the 1990’s rave scene alongside indie rock. I first heard this on a ‘Flying Records’ mixtape back in the day, and to this day still manages to ooze euphoric energy alongside those dubbed-out beats.
Anthem Alert!

GENERAL CAMEL
Tosca – Orozco (Dubphonic Remix)
Featured on Tosca’s 2008 ‘Suzuki in Dub’ album, this track is a great example of that elegant dub sound that the G-Stone label do so well.
Killer sub bass.

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
Eddie C – You’re Welcome
A phat ‘slo-house’ groove from the now ‘closed-down’ Jisco Music label that manages to tick all the ‘DuskDubs’ boxes. Dubby, Jazzy and Housey. I can’t get enough of this track!

GENERAL CAMEL
Peshay – Never Let You Go
Peshay returned this year on the Tru Thoughts label out of Brighton with the non-Drum & Bass album “Generation”, and what an album it is. This track is a great example of him experimenting with organic drums, horns, guitars and vintage synths to create a dreamy downtempo ‘head-nodder’. Stunning!

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
J-Walk feat. Veba – Scarlet Menace
Originating from Manchester UK, the duo J-Walk, made up of DJ Martin Brew and studio guru Martin Desai started releasing music in 1996, but scored an underground classic with the ‘Soul Vibration EP’ in 2000. ‘Scarlet Menace’ is taken from their one and only album ‘A Night On The Rocks’ (2002) and features the fiery yet soulful vocals of occasional Rae & Christian collaborator Veba, and some seriously funky horns!

GENERAL CAMEL
Meat Beat Manifesto – Spinning Round Dub
British breakbeat pioneer Jack Dangers aka Meat Beat Manifesto released the ‘…In Dub’ CD/DVD in 2004. It features some amazing dub bombs with this being one. Check it, at your speakers peril!

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
Genaside II – Narra Mine
Originally released in 1991 during the Hardcore/Rave era, this breakbeat monster features both the ethereal vocals of Sharon Williams and one of the fiercest raga vocals I’d heard at the time from Killer Man Archer. Geneside II released a number of hardcore favourites during this period, including ‘The Alchemist’, ‘Death of the Kamikazee’ and ‘The Motiv’. But for me it will always be ‘Narra Mine’ that encapsulates the feeling of that era. Goose bumps!]]>

Released in 2010 on the 'Mr Bongo' imprint out of Brighton. This version of Cypress Hill’s ‘Insane in the Brain’ bounces along to a reggae/ska beat, with reverb and echo layered underneath Horsemouth’s delivery.
Definitely a ‘sing-a-long’ moment for the dance.

GENERAL CAMEL
Rebel MC – Comin’ on Strong (Ruff Neck Mix)
Released in 1990 on Desire Records, Michael West aka Rebel MC (later to become Congo Natty), was one of the first artists from the UK Rave/Hardcore scene to begin merging reggae/ragga vibes with UK breakbeat well ahead of the Jungle Sound that would follow. This featured Tenor Fly, who would also appear on a number of classics from that period including ‘The Wickedest Sound’ and ‘Tribal Base’.

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five ‎– The Message (Paul Nice Super Duty Bootleg Mash Up)
A true Hip-Hop anthem no doubt, but this time flipped with a reggae/dub vibe by Paul Kilianski, aka Paul Nice, out of New York. Known for his classic mix tapes during the late 1990’s, Paul mashes up the Furious Five’s rap over a skankin’ reggae beat with additional reverb and classic melodica.

GENERAL CAMEL
Depeche Mode – Useless (K&D Session Remix)
An amazing remix by Kruder & Dorfmeister, who manage to turn Depeche Mode’s rock anthem into a blissed-out dub classic. At this point in their musical career, K&D seemed to be hitting that ‘Purple Patch’ as can be heard in the Compilation ‘The K&D Sessions’ (1998).

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
Primal Scream – Come Together (Andrew Weatherall Remix)
Possibly Mr Weatherall’s finest moment as a producer. He managed to combine the dance sensibilities of the 1990’s rave scene alongside indie rock. I first heard this on a ‘Flying Records’ mixtape back in the day, and to this day still manages to ooze euphoric energy alongside those dubbed-out beats.
Anthem Alert!

GENERAL CAMEL
Tosca – Orozco (Dubphonic Remix)
Featured on Tosca’s 2008 ‘Suzuki in Dub’ album, this track is a great example of that elegant dub sound that the G-Stone label do so well.
Killer sub bass.

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
Eddie C – You’re Welcome
A phat ‘slo-house’ groove from the now ‘closed-down’ Jisco Music label that manages to tick all the ‘DuskDubs’ boxes. Dubby, Jazzy and Housey. I can’t get enough of this track!

GENERAL CAMEL
Peshay – Never Let You Go
Peshay returned this year on the Tru Thoughts label out of Brighton with the non-Drum & Bass album “Generation”, and what an album it is. This track is a great example of him experimenting with organic drums, horns, guitars and vintage synths to create a dreamy downtempo ‘head-nodder’. Stunning!

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
J-Walk feat. Veba – Scarlet Menace
Originating from Manchester UK, the duo J-Walk, made up of DJ Martin Brew and studio guru Martin Desai started releasing music in 1996, but scored an underground classic with the ‘Soul Vibration EP’ in 2000. ‘Scarlet Menace’ is taken from their one and only album ‘A Night On The Rocks’ (2002) and features the fiery yet soulful vocals of occasional Rae & Christian collaborator Veba, and some seriously funky horns!

GENERAL CAMEL
Meat Beat Manifesto – Spinning Round Dub
British breakbeat pioneer Jack Dangers aka Meat Beat Manifesto released the ‘…In Dub’ CD/DVD in 2004. It features some amazing dub bombs with this being one. Check it, at your speakers peril!

ORIGINAL GIDMAN
Genaside II – Narra Mine
Originally released in 1991 during the Hardcore/Rave era, this breakbeat monster features both the ethereal vocals of Sharon Williams and one of the fiercest raga vocals I’d heard at the time from Killer Man Archer. Geneside II released a number of hardcore favourites during this period, including ‘The Alchemist’, ‘Death of the Kamikazee’ and ‘The Motiv’. But for me it will always be ‘Narra Mine’ that encapsulates the feeling of that era. Goose bumps!]]> 297198 no no Wed, 12 Aug 2015 15:52:37 +0200 2015-08-12T15:52:37+02:00 1:31:18 https://hearthis.at/duskdubs/dd0128-dusk-dubs-vol28-tom-dasein/
Tom Dasein is a Manchester based producer and DJ that has ridden the waves of electronic music. With his open minded mentality to sound, he has always strived to take inspiration from anywhere he can find it, but admittedly he has always had a more of an inclination to the more Bass end of the musical spectrum.

With the onset of his first digital release on his own imprint Humble Pie records, soon to launch with label mate Memphis Glass, his more club orientated productions that span from House, Post-Dubstep and into Deep Techno, are soon to find their outlet.

With his recent linking up with the Cassini collective in his hometown Manchester, the future looks bright for this individual, so stay tuned!

Here is a few words from this week's selector:

"I’d like to thank Dusk Dubs for asking me to select for this week’s show. It was an honour to be asked to put a set together and it has been a pleasure to select the tracks. It took quite a while to compile the set, as I wanted to make sure the mix as diverse as possible and that it reflected the variety of Electronic and Dub orientated music that have been a source of inspiration for me. It also seemed like a good idea to maybe expand the listener’s ears into new territories and to stick in a few rare tracks from my collection that are possibly unfamiliar.

I’ve also tried to bring in tracks that have caught my attention due to their production aesthetics and that are as deeply emotive as possible, even if the method has been subliminal. I have always been a believer that music and sound should have the power to touch in some way, as for me that is what it has and always will be about. I hope I have achieved that with this mix, enjoy the selection!"

Dusk Dubs returns with another amazing selection of records this week as we invite global music media and events agency This Is Progressive to the show. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. I then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

At Dusk Dubs, our aim is to strip back the peripheral that clouds what matters, the sounds coming from the speakers. We’re effectively making that selection process honest. Music selected for one reason, because you love that record. Not because its works in a mix, or because it's popular. Being true to yourself is so important in this machine of bright lights and fakery that many people have to function in today. When we first began following This Is Progressive, their ambition of focusing on the music, keeping it pure, and promoting that appetite for good music and people was something we couldn’t ignore. When the opportunity arose for them to provide a selection for us, we jumped at it, as without even discussing anything, we immediately knew that they would fully understand our ethos and would come up with the goods.

We are not disappointed. The records, the reasons for choosing them, and the journey over the whole selection is a perfect showcase of what Dusk Dubs represents.

We offer a massive thank you to the team at This Is Progressive for collectively providing such an incredible volume.

"This is Progressive is a music, media and events agency that supports, nurtures and develops new and established artist’s in all genres of underground electronic music. It is about being a platform to be heard within all the white noise created by public relations machines. It is to develop or create new avenues in ones career, by giving them a professional base to showcase themselves. It is controlled, it filters out the mainstream and delivers intelligent music, not only to the underground, but accessible to everyone. We are not RA, we are not Mixmag, we are a collective of passionate artists from around the world who are pushing back against the hype.

It is a labour of love for us, it is a passion that runs deep, a feeling of taking back control of an industry we love and so heavily invest in with our own personal lives. We are not grandstanding, we are not thinking we are going to change the world overnight, but we do hope that we can slowly be a game changer in what people listen to, explore or experience.

When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge… This is Progressive. "

16) Ulrich Schnauss - Sunday Evening in your Street
17) James Yorkston - Woozy with Cider (Jon Hopkins Remix)

Our music choices were made as a group and reflect our different backgrounds, tastes and passions. They also reveal the common thread which drew us together to start the website and give something back to an industry and lifestyle we couldn't be without.

1) T_Mo vs Jim Morrison - The Future
Jim Morrison as many know was the lead singer of The Doors. A gifted musician in his own right, he also was a profound thinker of his time. This interview shows very well how accurate he actually was.

2) Bonobo - Sapphire
To be honest we could have picked so many productions by this guy. Absolute genius of the chill out scene, this is a track from his 5th album - The North Borders which came out about a year ago.

3) Telepopmusik - Smile (Applescal Tribute Mix)
Telepopmusik started out in around 1998 and still tour now. Dutch wonderkid producer Applescal is quoted as saying of this mix "Télépopmusik has been an inspiration for me since I was a teenager. I've learned a lot of their music and listening to them makes me fly."

4) Beat Pharmacy ft Paul St. Hilaire - Sunshine (Intrusion Sunset Dub)
Beat Pharmacy aka Brendon Moeller is a dub techno producer living in New York City. This track is taken from his 2008 album Wikked Times Remixed. He also makes music as The Ecologist. Talented guy.

5) Assassins of Sound - Slipping in & Out of Consciousness
One of Simon's favourites from Mid 90's concept album Zeitgeist - New Wave Club Culture. It was released on a limited edition 10 inch EP via Stress Records offshoot - Related and featured on a Mixmag double CD called 'House puts the Breaks on' mixed by Allistair Whitehead and Dave Seaman.

6) Aim - Cold Water Music
One of the last tracks made before chill out music became commericalised. Elegant, thoughtful and utterly beguiling work.

7) BT - The Road to Lostwithiel
Until ESCM came out, many thought Brain Transau was a fairly one dimensional producer. Sure he wrote some amazing trance records, but this track and Sea of Forgetfulness really raised the bar of what an artist album should be within the electronic music realm.

8) Beat International - Dub Be Good to Me (Syv2 Un1 Unreleased Mix)
Fatboy Slims group from the 80s brought bang up to date by Finnish DJ/ Producer Tero Civill. Found one day during a Soundcloud search.

9) Diskjokke - Reset and Begin
Fast forward to the mid naughties and Nu Disco began to take hold. A wave of Scandinavian producers lead the way, but it was guys like Diskjokke who really shine for us. Absolutely brilliant track.

10) Boards of Canada - Hi Scores
Scottish brothers Michael and Marcus's warm analogue, vaguely 70's psychadelia eventually found a home at the mighty Warp Records. This is the title track of their 1996 EP on Autechtre's Skam Records.

11) Future Sound of London - Papua New Guinea
Released in 1991, this record is responsible for a great many of us becoming dance music fans in the first place. It was FSoL's debut single and reached 22 in the UK Top 40 Charts.

12) DJ Shadow - Building Steam from a Grain of Salt (Nit Grit Rmx)
DJ Shadow's 1996 album 'Endtroducing' introduced many of us to the potential of sampling and crate digging. Often copied, rarely bettered, DJ Shadow continues to trail blaze today showcasing his leftfield take on Hip Hop around the world. This cut was taken from his remix album of 2010 which he released for free via his website.

13) Origin Unknown - Valley of the Shadows
Anyone who ever went to a rave in the UK would have heard and responded to the call of '31 seconds'. Many a happy rewind was had in those halcyon days of yore!

14) LTJ Bukem - Horizons
Another rave pioneer, Danny Williamson practically invented liquid DnB with his LTJ Bukem stage name and the Looking Good records label. It was a huge breath of fresh air for a scene that was beginning to implode.

15) Art of Noise - Moments in Love (Caspa Rmx)
Stalwarts of 80s electronica, Art of Noise are an inspiration to a great many artists. Dubstep producer Caspa is more well known for his aggressive saw tooth led tracks, but here he is perfectly restrained and captures the majesty and musicality of the original.

16) Ulrich Schnauss - Sunday Evening in your Street
Keyboard player of UK indie band Longview, German born Ulrich also makes beautiful folky electronica. He was also in shoegaze group The Engineers.

17) James Yorkston - Woozy with Cider (Jon Hopkins Remix)
There are sometimes pieces of music which can instantly transport you away from yourself and your physical surroundings. This beautiful, melancholy poem sums up the mindset for a generation of 30somethings the world over. I defy you not to shed a tear.]]>

This week we have the pleasure in presenting 10inchpress, a loyal supporter of the #DuskDubsmovement. The ‘Oldschool’ runs deep in 10inchpress, but as you will see from his selections, he has created an amazing journey with his musical choices which are diverse and consistently push at the #DuskDubs envelope….

Here are a few words from the man himself :

"My musical journey first started on hearing Cubic 22 - Night in Motion in a grubby club under a crazy strobe, but, I was drawn hook line and sinker!, I started going to local raves in my area, Sterns in Worthing, STORM! and Bedrock on Hastings pier. I quickly realised that the UK Jungle sound was my direction, buying on sight labels like Reinforced, Ibiza, Suburban Base and Production House. In 1992 I went to probably the best two nights of my life Fantazia Summertime and Book of Love. I now found myself travelling around the UK going to various raves and at the same time buying tunes from Lucky Spin, Blackmarket, and Frontier my home town record shop. I was doing mix tapes for my friends, which I had named DARKNESS, and played out at a couple of small parties.

In 1993 I was now travelling up to London to nights at Rocket, Desire, Camden Palace and the mighty Lazerdrome!!! In 1995 I changed my direction and went headlong into the Metalheadz sound and would be found in Blue Note on Sunday!! After this I went to everything Metalheadz practically did in London and the South-East!!

However, I would always gravitate back to Hastings pier as my mate Jim The FriendlyPiranha (DANGEROUS, HEAT, PURE SCIENCE) was running some major parties!!!

I love this music so much me and my missus got engaged at Metalheadz in 2003!!

Currently I’m buying more pieces of blackwax, it’s a habit I have had since 1991 so I don't think it is gonna go away quickly, but, since being recommended to listen to Uncle Dugs by Jim on the premise "Dugs is this mad geezer who plays loads of old skool and does wicked interviews" - I have found like minded people who love this music.....

As you can see, I am from a hardcore/ jungle & drum and bass background musically and to most people outside the scene they would consider our music to be throw away with no real depth and fuelled only by drugs…

Once you get past the original euphoria of the old skool days, and take a step back from the raves, and allow yourself to listen the tracks that scene has produced, it is only then you learn how great the music is and how it can open new doors to many other sounds and genres. …..

I have followed DuskDubs from the start, so to be invited to select a mixtape was an honour, however, a challenge with the past volumes being so diverse in their individual sounds.

The tracks below are tracks that I found from listening to the music I love, simple!......My DuskDubs."

This week, we are very blessed to have Jaz Didu crate dig for us. I have mixed in similar circles with Jaz for a few years now, always being blown away by his tune selections and forward thinking sets. Never one for being confined by genres, Jaz tends to play what he likes, always with a driving purpose. I know this volume will go down a storm, and considering the collection Jaz has at his disposal, I know it took a lot for him to decide on these particular tracks so it's an honour to mix them.

I highly recommend you check his soundcloud, and take in some of his other mixes as this guy is a killer on the decks.

Below, are a few words from this week’s selector :

"With this selection I wanted to give listeners a flavor of my musical style and the sort of thing you would expect to hear in a Jaz Didu set. You will often find tunes from the artists in this selection littered throughout my mixes, though often via their more club suited sounds.

I have put a lot of consideration into each tune here and their placement in the selection. Starting out with the ambient sounds of Berlin, the selection explores my various favored musical concepts which I hope will become apparent to the listener. Although it is difficult to pick out highlights, mentions will go to the rather indulgent Dj Sliink remix of 'I Think'; the lush electronica of both Jam City tunes; the personification of minimal bass in Luv Zombie and Pan; and probably the most influential track of my current musical direction, The Shrew Would Have Cushioned The Blow.

I hope you enjoy the listen, and thanks to the #DuskDubs crew for inviting me onto their amazing series. Keep up the outstanding work" [[ Gareth aka Jaz Didu ]]

This week, we are happy to welcome DJ Omm to the Dusk Dubs family. DJ Omm has been a constant supporter of the Dusk Dubs mix-tapes from day one and with his vast knowledge in music, we knew we'd be in for a real treat with his selections.

As a true Drum & Bass solider at heart, he has gone all over the world following his musical hero's, the likes of Goldie, Calibre and Marcus Intalex. So much is his passion for D&B, he started putting on his own nights called 'SoundBoy' in his local town, which have built up a reputation for somewhere where you can hear the finest D&B with a great bunch of people.

Below, are a few words from this week’s selector :

"I am a complete Drum & Bass addict in every way, shape & form and I spend every spare penny I have on buying vinyl & own far more records than I have room for. I also run my own Drum n Bass night in my local town where I DJ.

I regular put together mixes of all styles of DnB which are available on my Soundcloud page.

I started my dance music voyage at 12 years old, buying Prodigy’s ‘Experience’ and I never looked back. I started clubbing at 15 years old going down to Club Kinetic in Stoke with fake ID and also had my first taste of jungle in December 1995, where I saw Mickey Finn & Kenny Ken at ‘Vibealite’ in Mansfield…..….. my mind was blown!!

I had already bought a few 7 & 12”s from the age of 12, but got my hands on some decks at 15 and my obsession with vinyl began. I spent the next 10 years getting the train to Manchester & hanging round in Eastern Bloc & Spin Inn record shops, listening to every bit of DnB/Jungle I could. (That died down with the emergence of internet Shopping)

You can find me every month raving hard at Band on the Wall nightclub in Manchester’ home of Marcus Intalex’s legendary drum n bass night Soul:ution.

Beyond my drum n bass obsession I listen to all sorts of other flava’s... between me and my woman, we buy anything and everything. Through twitter it’s been great to hook up with other like-minded people and be exposed to a new world of folk sharing music they love.

Absolutely buzzing off the #DuskDubs project as I've been introduced to so much quality music I have never heard before.... I feel blessed that I was asked to be a part of the #DuskDubs mixtape series and get a chance to share some of the records down the years that are so special to me. There is no real form to my selections other than I am sucker for anything that has got soul and is a bit dreamy/atmospheric.

The main ingredient to any piece of music for me, is if its sounds good. It doesn’t matter what genre it is!!! Enjoy…. Dj Omm"

Firstly, as we enter 2014, I would like to wish all the #DuskDubs family and listeners a happy and prosperous new year, and to mark this momentous moment we are truly blessed in bringing you the sounds of what can only be described as a true legend from the underground – Skeleton Army.

Skeleton Army aka John Morrow made his debut in electronic music while still in his teens, signing for the now legendary Moving Shadow as a member of drum & bass pioneers Foul Play, probably best known for their remix of Omni Trio's 'Renegade Snares', now considered a genre defining classic. After two Foul Play albums, John branched out from drum & bass to produce breaks and house, both solo and collectively under several aliases including Johnny Halo, whose releases on Cellar Door received worldwide DJ support.

In recent times, John has increasingly devoted himself to producing bass fuelled house music, with the birth of Skeleton Army.

I hope I got it right, what follows is basically a bunch of my favourite tracks in chronological order with something from most of the different genres I’ve been into over the last 30 years.

Hope you enjoy."

This week we happily welcome another Dusk Dubs resident, Original Gidman. Here from the conception, Gidman has already been within the foundations of the Dusk Dubs philosophy for many years prior to us even beginning it. His record collection, library of mixtapes, and all round knowledge of music can't be beaten. And his ethos of good music, regardless of genre, and positive vibes is what the Dusk Dubs family is built on. Not a day goes by that Gidman doesn’t msg me new music to check out…which when 80% of my day consists of listening to music, is some achievement. Not only do I listen to the music he recommends, but I take that music out and play it in my sets. I love that flow of knowledge and music that starts with him.

Myself, General Camel and the whole Dusk Dubs Family salute you Gids. We love your dedication to music, and we can't tell you how happy we are that (and this is said with maximum positivity and respect) you are such a musical nerd.

Big ups and respect always bruva!

Below, are a few words from this week’s selector. As always, in true Gidman style, he has provided a little about each track. Well worth a read :

"For this volume I decided to take a #DuskDubs international excursion around the world, stopping off in the UK, Europe, USA, Jamaica and New Zealand….. Enjoy "

**Tracklisting**

1) Om Unit – Ether (Terrorhythm)

Take from ‘The Corridor EP’ released back in 2010, this is one of Jim Coles aka Om Unit’s earliest releases. I can’t get enough of that Sci-Fi intro and Vangelis like synths alongside that driving bass heavy beat. Mr Coles has recently signed to Goldie’s Metalheadz label and released an amazing album on Civil Music – ‘Threads’… check it.

2) Urban Species - Predictably Unpredictable (Talkin’ Loud)

From the album ‘Blanket’ and released on Gilles Peterson’s infamous imprint Talkin’ Loud back in 1998. The outfit Urban Species were often grouped together with the likes of Massive Attack, Portishead and other Trip-Hop artists of the time. However, for me this track epitomises everything that is good about British Hip-Hop and with the enigmatic voice of Imogen Heap… oozing with “DuskDubs” vibe.

3) Guts – Skunkfunk (NOW Records)

Featured on Nightmare On Wax’s label compilation ‘Wax On Records’ in 2008 and produced by ‘Guts’ out of Paris, France, this track has that slo-mo funk running throughout and with a vocal hook to die for, will burrow its way into your sub-conscious…. No doubt !

4) Beanfield – Planetary Deadlock (Compost Records)

Staying in Europe, Beanfield hail from Germany and originally consisted of Jan Krause, Michael Mettke, Michael Reinboth and Tobias Meggle. Released back in 1996, this track featured on their self-titled album ‘Beanfield’. They soon became an influential production unit on the Compost Records rosta. Often sited alongside Faze Action, Fila Brazillia, and A Forest Mighty Black, these groups managed to merge organic sounds alongside a club/electronic ethos…. The result can be heard here….

5) Erykah Badu - The Healer (Motown)

Produced by Madlib aka The Beat Conductor back in 2007 and appearing on her 5th Studio album ‘New Amerykah: Part One (4th World War), this dubby ode to Hip-Hop is simply stunning in its sparse production and economical use of samples/instruments….. as Erykah says “This One Is For Dilla…..”

6) Thievery Corporation – 2001 Spliff Odyssey (ESL Music)

Staying in the US, the Thievery Corporation are made up of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton. Based in Washington, they have been producing a mix of Dub, Bossa Nova and Jazz to great acclaim since 1995. This track is from their debut album ‘Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi’ (1997) and is a classic example of their Dub/Reggae vibe which I love so much.

7) Moby – Go (In Dub Mix) (D:vision Records)

What can I say about this record….. Originally released back in 1991, with its haunting riff sampled from the TV series ‘Twin Peaks’, the original version became an oldschool/rave anthem. This 1992 version remixed by Jam & Spoon, a techno/trance outfit out of Germany, first came to my attention much later on a Nick Warren ‘Back To Mine’ Compilation. Since then, I cannot get enough of its slowed down dubby basslines whilst maintaining the original Twin Peak chords that we all love so much – an amazing remix that completely flips the script…..

8) King Tubby – Bag Of Wire Dub (Blood & Fire)

A classic example of 1970’s dub out of Jamaica. Produced by King Tubby aka ‘The Dub Master’, who influenced later producers such as Scientist and King Jammy. The King sprinkles his ‘dub’ magic over Johnny Clarke’s vocals and transforms this reggae classic into a skanking wall of reverb. Amazing stuff… all hail ‘The King’

9) Errol Dunkley - A Little Way Different (Arawak)

Originally produced back in 1978, this reggae standard composed by Errol Dunkley himself, would later feature heavily in D.R.S ‘s Jungle/Drum & Bass anthem ‘Everyman’ from 1994. It’s the lyrical content of the original that resonates with me, and I can only assume also resonated with DJ Kenny Ken over 15 years later. “Everyman do his ting a little way different”…exactly what #DuskDubs is all about…..

10) DJ Shadow / David Rodigan – Rodigan In A Perfect World (Mash Up)

This cheeky mash-up featuring a David Rodigan MBE on intro duties, leads us into DJ Shadow’s Midnight In A Perfect World (Gab Mix). This version released on the infamous Mo Wax record label back in 1996 features The Gift Of Gab on vocal duties. He delivers a nocturnal sermon alongside Shadow’s amazing beats – perfect for the #DuskDubs hour….

11) Marc Mac – See Him Smile (featuring Etta James) (ABB Soul)

One of the founding members of 4hero and forces behind Reinforced Records, Marc Mac is rightly championed in the Jungle/Drum & Bass scene. He is also a massive Soul/Funk/Jazz head and this is very apparent on his solo project ‘How About A Game Of Chess’, where he samples the back catalogue of ‘Chess Records’ – one of the premier Soul & Jazz record labels from the 1950’s & 1960’s. The ‘How About A Game Of Chess’ record was originally produced back in 2005 and for me, it is this track ‘See them Smile’ which is one of the highlights… haunting vocals over a rocking beat….Quality.

12) Masters At Work ‎– Justa "Lil" Dope (Cutting Records)

Produced back in 1991 by Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez and Little Louie Vega, this track is a bonfide classic. To this day, it consistently crosses musical boundaries, dropped by House, Breaks, Techno and Oldschool DJ’s alike, which to me is a signature of a classic record. Famously sped up to 45RPM by DJ Fabio & Grooverider at their club Rage in the early 1990’s, this track became one of the building blocks of Jungle/Drum & Bass. Everything about this record I love, whether it’s the amazing breaks, the classic horn rift or the vocal samples…. Every home should have a copy.

13) Fat Freddy’s Drop – Bohannon (The Drop)

The one and only contemporary track featured in this #DuskDubs volume, is from New Zealand. Appearing on their 2013 album ‘Blackbird’, this instrumental oozes serious funk alongside an infectious beat. If you get a chance to see them live - do so, their amazing blend of Dub, Soul, Funk and Jazz has caught the attention of the world…..and they seriously know how to dub a tune out I’m telling ya…..

14) Maya Angelou with Burial & FourTet - On The Pulse Of A Moth (Mash-Up)

Another cheeky Mash Up, this time featuring the poem ‘On The Pulse Of A Morning’ by Maya Angelou which was read during the 1993 Presidential inauguration of Bill Clinton (later to be sampled by Mr Good Looking himself LTJ Bukem on the 1995 classic ‘Horizons’). This leads into Burial + Four Tet’s collaboration ‎ ‘Moth’ which was released on Four Tet’s label Text Records back in 2009. It’s a 4 to the floor eerie dubbed out house track, that the likes of only Burial can create …..Deep

15) Innerzone Orchestra - People Make The World Go Round (Planet E)

Produced back in 1999 in Detroit, by the don that is Mr. Carl Craig under his alias Innerzone Orchestra, this version of The Stylistics classic from 1971, brings this organic soul classic into the electronic age…..simply sublime.]]>
This week we happily welcome another Dusk Dubs resident, Original Gidman. Here from the conception, Gidman has already been within the foundations of the Dusk Dubs philosophy for many years prior to us even beginning it. His record collection, library of mixtapes, and all round knowledge of music can't be beaten. And his ethos of good music, regardless of genre, and positive vibes is what the Dusk Dubs family is built on. Not a day goes by that Gidman doesn’t msg me new music to check out…which when 80% of my day consists of listening to music, is some achievement. Not only do I listen to the music he recommends, but I take that music out and play it in my sets. I love that flow of knowledge and music that starts with him.

Myself, General Camel and the whole Dusk Dubs Family salute you Gids. We love your dedication to music, and we can't tell you how happy we are that (and this is said with maximum positivity and respect) you are such a musical nerd.

This week we welcome the return of Dusk Dubs resident General Camel. Head of recruitment, The General is like a ninja, in the background, nothing gets past him. When the big hitters want to be involved with Dusk Dubs, They have to go through him, and not many get through unless they meet the high grade being set by our family.

As said previously, his wealth of music comes from decades of collecting, listening, partying. It can't be rivalled. A non-stop poster of old and new music on Twitter, he's the quiet cog the keeps the Dusk Dubs craft rolling when the rest of us are rushing about trying to keep it together.

The main thing I personally love about Cam, is simply the fact that when all's said and done, his solution to pretty much all life's troubles, is a beer, and music. A man after my own heart.

This week we are very blessed to bring you DZG303 aka Gary C (Folkestone Crew). DZG303 is a massive part of the Duskdubs movement, providing full support, not to mention posting countless tunes that epitomises the Dusk Dubs ethos. This week, my speakers have been tested to full capacity, and I am expecting an eviction notice as we have had these records on very, very..... very loud! But, well worth it I say!

Below, are a few words from this week’s selector, and the records featured in this week’s mixtape, plus a great write up on each from the man himself:

"Firstly thanks for the opportunity to submit a volume of #DuskDubs. It's an honour to do so. My musical tastes really started when Gidman & I first heard Electro in the early 80's and have been hooked on electronic music ever since. Groups and artists such as Yello, Kraftwerk, Meat Beat Manifesto, The Orb, The Residents.... I could go on forever! have influenced not only me but countless artists preceding them.

From the early Electro days we went on to Hip Hop (80's proper stuff!) onto Acid, House, Techno, Rave, Hardcore, Jungle and on and on. Still love them all….. Nowadays my music is as diverse and eclectic as it could be.

Long live #DuskDubs and massive, massive big ups to the whole family, you know who you are.

Special thanks to my brother Gidman & Harrison for bringing it all together.

Respect.

It’s a privilege to submit a mix tape for the mighty DuskDubs crew. For my selection I've gone for a more Electronic flavour. Enjoy... "

**Tracklisting**

1) Introduction Dub - Meat Beat Manifesto. Released on Quatermass in 2004 from the album In Dub. The title says it all really.

2) D.U.B. Dub - Jack Danger. Released on Shadow Records in 2001 from the album Hello Friends, a mix album by mr. Dangers from Meat Beat. The don of electronic sonics. Produced by Ben Stokes also from Meat Beat and D.H.S.

3) Wilmot Edit - The Sabres of Paradise. Released on Warp Records in 1994 as a single. Love the soundscapes in this one.

4) Fussball (instrumental) - The Orb. Released on Cooking Vinyl in 2013 from the album More Tales From the Observatory. Dr.Alex Patterson comes correct with some awsome Dub business. I prefer the instrumental versions of this album, kind of takes you away.

5) Gamma Goblins (It's Turtles All The Way Down Mix) - Hallucinogen. Released on Twisted Recordds in 2002 from the album In Dub. The original double album was a goa trance affair on pink and green vinyl which is excellent in it's own right but the In Dub version is a must. Quality stuff.

6) Echo In Space Dub - Meat Beat Manifesto. Released on Quatermass Records in 2004. Again from the Album In Dub. Can you tell I like Meat Beat manifesto??? What more can I say Jack Dangers on the buttons, the mad EMS Synthi100. Only a very few working models left. Respect due. Nuff said.

7) Regiment - Brian Eno & David Byrne. From the album My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts. Originally released in 1981 but Remastered and expanded in 2006 on Nonesuch Records. An amazing album from Talking Heads front man, and former Talking Heads producer, Brian Eno.

8) Talisman - Boddhi Satva. Released on 10" Vinyl on Yoruba Records in 2007. A really nice Deep Housey Dub stylee'

9) Dark Soul AIFF - Broken. Released on Fat Records in 2006 on 12. I just love the deep atmospheric baseline and bluesy dub influence on this tune.

10) No Secrets No Surprises - Jack Dangers. Released on Bella Union Records in 2002 from the album Variaciones Espectrales. Another banger from mr. Dangers.

11) Rootsy Potato (Ten Pints of Bitter) - DJ Elected. Released on 7" vinyl on Sirkus Recordings in 2007. A blinder sampling Rooty Toot Manuva's Witness the Fitness, which I love as well.

12) International Reprise - Meat Beat Manifesto. Released on Metropolis Records in 2008 from the album Autoimmune. Again Meat Beat pushes the boundaries of electronic sound to the max.

13) Call To Arms - Harmonic 313. Released on Warp Records in 2009 from the album When Machines Exceed Human Intelligence. Mark Prichard on the buttons an essential album.

14) Education - Digital Mystikz. Released on DMZ Records in 2010 on 12. Wicked beats and baseline , had to include this one.

15) The Dip - A Guy Called Gerald. Released on Laboratory Records in 2010 from the 12" series Tronic Jazz The Berlin Sessions. This one from Vol.3. Gerald does the Business with some lovely swirling spacey sounds.

16) Said Speed - Afica Hitech. Released on Warp Records in 2010 on 12. Mark Pritchard again on the button alongside Steve White with a monster dub infused Baseline. love it to the bone.]]>

This week, we are treated to an ambient, dub infused selection which is as eclectic as its selector. Henry Bird, is known for putting on some of the best parties in Manchester. But when I tell you, that flyers for his ‘Dry Hump’ night feature Mr Motivator, and Ainsly Harriot, you might not make the connection to Dusk Dubs. But that’s Henry, in my opinion, life is about enjoyment. At the nights he curates, there is only one genre of music. Good music. I knew that he would be perfect to select for us, as outside of his energetic front, when you sit him down for 5 mins, Henry Bird knows his music better than most. And I mean, he really knows his music.

So thanks fella! Welcome to the family. This weeks mixtape, is another treat for the senses.

This week, we are treated to an ambient, dub infused selection which is as eclectic as its selector. Henry Bird, is known for putting on some of the best parties in Manchester. But when I tell you, that flyers for his ‘Dry Hump’ night feature Mr Motivator, and Ainsly Harriot, you might not make the connection to Dusk Dubs. But that’s Henry, in my opinion, life is about enjoyment. At the nights he curates, there is only one genre of music. Good music.

This week, we are treated to the crate of techno smasher Tightpoint. What hits you straight away, is the sheer expression of these selections. As a resident for Cassini in Manchester, Tightpoint is known for huge 4 deck techno sets. So we genuinely didn’t know what to expect to see land in the studio this week. But, as Dusk Dubs proves again, this is a platform for people to express themselves in a way no one has seen before. Tightpoint show’s us a side of his musical repertoire that is simply mind blowing. Rolling basslines, 140bpm breaks, pure musical imagery.

Proving that good dubstep is very much alive, well, and still at the forefront of all that is good in music.

One word was flying around the Dusk Dubs team this week...... WOW!

Below is a word from this week’s selector himself:

‘Duskdubs. What does it mean ?

That's the question you have to consider when you are asked to do this mixtape.

My answer?

Thick, hypnotic, rolling tunes. Music that envelops you and takes you out of yourself. Aural treacle. Fat, bass heavy sounds peppered with tripped out percussion, vocals, synths. A sonic expedition with no end. That's how I see #duskdubs. I hope you like my small part in it.’

This week we welcome DJ Charge to the #DuskDubs studio bringing with him a heavyweight selection. A true Jungalist at heart, beginning his 'Jungle-Journey' back in 1992 - listening to pirate radio stations like DonFM, and whiling away the hours in his local independent record store, listening and buying up those 'white labels' and rough-neck tunes that are so sought after now....

It was this soundtrack of big dubby basslines and ragga samples during the years of 1994 at such legendary raves as World Dance, Dreamscape's and Labyrinth that set him on his path to 7 or more years of Jungle and Drum & Bass. This love of dubby basslines also saw him absorb reggae. ragga and other bass infused music which is exactly why he is perfect for #DuskDubs.

Today, he can often be found regularly contributing Jungle and Drum & Bass classics to #drumnbreakfaston Twitter and participating in the Friday Twitter take-over that is #RCFF....

He's been a massive supporter of the #DuskDubs mixtapes', and as you will hear from this volume he touches bass on pretty much every corner of British Club Culture, whether its House and Hip-Hop or Trip-Hop and Jungle/Drum & Bass.... It's all there ....

I am no Dub expert but being a Junglist it’s very close to my heart and as the cru say music is about vibes irrespective of genre. With my selection I try to capture the dusk dub’s vibe and move through genres ultimately toward the one that’s closest to my heart.

I hope you all get as much pleasure listening to it as I did creating it".

This week we are happy to announce the return of another original selector, General Camel

Since his first Dusk Dubs release, General Camel has been a constant reminder of what Dusk Dubs is all about. Nonstop talking of records, artists, labels...and a consistently high standard of music posts. No surprise then, that again this mixtape hits all the right notes. In less than an hour, he includes the subtle, hip hop soul of DJ Cam, and gorgeous house vibes of Tom Middleton. And it all makes sense. This mixtape is one that you will listen to, then happily play again and again. Massive thanks to the General, we salute you!

‘I've loved being involved with #duskdubs and seeing it grow and evolve each week. Now up at Volume 12 we've had some great mixes with a real insight to all the selectors and their take on 'Dub Music'.

For my 2nd Volume I'm going to take it back to what I love best, dubby, bassy and the more chilled out stuff, The last few tracks however are a bit more uptempo but still fits the whole #duskdubs vibe perfectly.

So sit back, crack a beer and enjoy the music! The General ‘

This week we are happy to announce the return of the mighty Original Gidman.

Normally, I write a short bio about the selector of the week. This time, I’ll keep it brief, simply because Gidman has treated us to a full and detailed description of his selections, so I won’t keep you. All I will say, is that Original Gidman is a major driving force behind Dusk Dubs, without him holding us all together, this wouldn't happen. So, a massive salute Gids! You sir, are a ledge!

Below, are the records featured in this weeks mixtape, and a great write up on each from Original Gidman himself

1) Poisonous Dub Intro….

2) Snowman – Rise (All City Records)
This beat-heavy instrumental is featured on the 1st 7 Inch that was part of the 7x7 series pressed up by All City Records in Dublin… Produced by Snowman – A member of the Jack Sample Professionals (Fat City US). ….“Heavy beats and very melodic…. (5 Stars)”

3) Smith & Mighty - Higher Dub Feat. MarylinMcFarlane (Studio !K7)
Featured on the Smith & Mighty’s ‘Retrospective’album, this track oozes ‘Dubbed-Out’ class with gorgeous vocals by Marylin McFarlane. Smith & Mighty are a Dub/Drum and Bass/Trip-Hop group from Bristol, consisting of Rob Smith and Ray Mighty. Their first releases in the late 1980s, were breakbeat covers of "Anyone Who Had a Heart" and "Walk on By”. They went on to produce "Wishing on a Star" for Fresh Four and Massive Attack's first single, "Any Love”……“Dubbed out bliss”.

4) Dr. Alimantado - Gimmie My Gun (Greensleeves)
Originally released in 1978 and featuring on the album "Best Dressed Chicken In Town’. This track features the vocal talents of Jamican deejay Dr. Alimantado, over the classic backing track of Gregory Isaacs' ‘Thief a Man’. It would be familiar to all those that were hitting the Jungle/Drum & Bass clubs around 1993 as it was heavily sampled by Smokey Joe on Wha' Dat (Gimmie My Gun) on Labello Blanco Records….. “A Jamacian Deejay Standard…. POW !!”

5) Walkner & Mostl - Heaven Or Hell (G-Stone Recordings)
Released back in the year 2000, on Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister’s infamous
G-Stone label out of Austria, the track was produced byUwe Walkner and Karl Moestl and packs a dubbed-out punch that is synonymous with everything that is released on G-Stone……. “Austrian Quality – As per usual”

6) Peace Orchestra - Double Drums (G-Stone Recordings)
While Richard Dorfmeister was producing his ‘pet project’ Tosca, Peter Kruder was going solo with the Peace Orchestra. Released back in 1999, this track is a classic example of Kruder’s ability to twist and dub-out a ‘Bossa’ sounding track alongside a funky double bass-line….. “Funky as F**K”.

7) Space Dimension Controller - Transatlantic Landing Bay (R&S Records)
Released on the legendary label that is R&S Records, this track features on the Mini LP/EP ‘Temporary Thrillz’ . Space Dimension Controller aka Jack Hamill produces deep spaced out house and ambient soundscapes that the listener can fall into…. “sophisticated sci-fi boogie at its best”.

8) Skit (#DuskDubs Shout Out)
Big thank you to Uncle Dugs
@UncleDugs

9) S-Express - Coma II (A.M. O.K.) (Rhythm King)
Located on Side 2 of the Mark Moore’s sophomore album ‘Original Soundtrack’ and released by the classic British Label Rhythm King in 1989 , this squelchy-acid track is miles apart from the commercial releases of ‘Superfly Guy’ or ‘Hey Music Lover’. ……”It’s haunted my musical mind ever since, and will now hopefully haunt yours….!!”.

10) The Transit Kings - The Last Lighthouse Keeper(Malicious Damage)
For those that don’t know, The Transit Kings are a collective made up from, KLF dons Jimmy Cauty and AlexPaterson , occasional Pink Floyd collaborator Guy Pratt and Dom Beken. Released in 2006 on The Orbs home label Malicious Damage, this track features the vocal meanderings of Simon Day as ‘The Last Lighthouse Keeper’ – Comical as well as poignant….. “Simply put – out of this world”

11) The Pioneers - I Need Your Inspiration (Justin Robertson Remix) (Trojan Records)
Released in 2007 and part of the Trojan Takeover project, where a handful of contemporary producers were invited to remix favourites from Trojan’s back catalogue and put their mark on them in celebration of its 40th anniversary. The soulful-reggae original was created by The Pioneers back in 1970 and Justin Robertson turns in a dubbed out break-beat heavy remix that transforms itself into a ska-skank-out….. “Killer Ska alongside soulful vocals…. ”

12) Bomb The Bass - Bug Powder Dust (Kruder &Dorfmeister Remix) (Stoned Heights)
Amazingly, this was first released in 1996 and brought Tim Simenon AKA Bomb The Bass back to prominence amongst the electronica world. Remixed by Kruder &Dorfmeister and featuring on their classic double remix album ‘The K&D Sessions’, this track is one of my favourite remixes of theirs……”Great flow in a dubbed-out style… love it”

13) Meat Beat Manifesto - Radio Babylon (Version Galore) (Play It Again Sam Records)
What can I say about this track ? …. The original was massive back in 1991 in the Rave/Hardcore scene and still holds up to this day. Produced and remixed by the British don that is Jack Dangers (….in my eyes and ears ‘THE’ professor of Dub/Bass manipulation), this track just nails the dub infused break-beat sound coming out back in 1991. I recently got to see Meat Beat Manifesto live, twice in the last few years and I can assure you that they still have the ‘Dub Magic’…. “When this got played…the venue wentoff !!”

14) SLM - Nice & Slow (Tone Def Records)
Released back in 1992 on the Tone Def label alongside Hardcore/Jungle acts such as SoundCorp, 4 Horsemen Of The Apocalypse and DJ Harry & Point Blank, this track with it’s reggae infused bass-line used to rip the sound-system in AWOL at The Paradise Club, Islington in London – where I resided during the years of 91-92…..”this brings back great memories and even though the beats are fast…its that bassline that fits the #DuskDubs bill”.

15) Mark Pritchard – Heavy As Stone (Deep MediRecords)
Whatever Mr Pritchard touches, he seems to be able to turn it into ‘musical gold’, and it’s no different here ! Released recently on Mala’s Deep Medi imprint in 2010, this track is seriously heavy….. I’ll leave the online record store Boomkat to explain… “soul-stirring female vox, elegiac keys and even a glimmer of likembe over 4/4 steppers patterns, all anchored with that sublime bass-weight. This is heart-in-the-mouth material, tears on the dancefloor anthem business. It's a real no-brainer”…. “…Here Here”

16) Timmy Thomas - Why Can’t We Live Together (Dub Mix) (Shoes Unofficial Release)
This only needs One Word… “Sublime…..”

Produced and remixed by the British don that is Jack Dangers (….in my eyes and ears ‘THE’ professor of Dub/Bass manipulation), this track just nails the dub infused break-beat sound coming out back in 1991. I recently got to see Meat Beat Manifesto live, twice in the last few years and I can assure you that they still have the ‘Dub Magic’…. “When this got played…the venue wentoff !!”

14) SLM - Nice & Slow (Tone Def Records)
Released back in 1992 on the Tone Def label alongside Hardcore/Jungle acts such as SoundCorp, 4 Horsemen Of The Apocalypse and DJ Harry & Point Blank, this track with it’s reggae infused bass-line used to rip the sound-system in AWOL at The Paradise Club, Islington in London – where I resided during the years of 91-92…..”this brings back great memories and even though the beats are fast…its that bassline that fits the #DuskDubs bill”.

15) Mark Pritchard – Heavy As Stone (Deep MediRecords)
Whatever Mr Pritchard touches, he seems to be able to turn it into ‘musical gold’, and it’s no different here ! Released recently on Mala’s Deep Medi imprint in 2010, this track is seriously heavy….. I’ll leave the online record store Boomkat to explain… “soul-stirring female vox, elegiac keys and even a glimmer of likembe over 4/4 steppers patterns, all anchored with that sublime bass-weight. This is heart-in-the-mouth material, tears on the dancefloor anthem business. It's a real no-brainer”…. “…Here Here”

16) Timmy Thomas - Why Can’t We Live Together (Dub Mix) (Shoes Unofficial Release)
This only needs One Word… “Sublime…..”

This week we are treated to a heavy weight Dusk Dubs special from Kole.

Kole is a techno DJ and producer and a driving force behind Cassini Music.

He is found creating incredible mixes and mind blowing sets that destroy the dance floor. Leaning on the more industrial techno vibe, Kole is capable of shaking your mind (not to mention the club), often building sounds on 4 decks at once. But although Kole is a massive techno head, he has an incredible taste for many forms of music. As his selections for this mixtape show. Beginning with the sounds of J Dilla and Ice Cube, moving into some serious grime, and then that space infused deep, trippy vibe setting the scene before he unleashes his soul through pulsating, hypnotic techno vibes. This is a Dusk Dubs selection that will blow your mind. Fact!

You can find out more about Kole and Cassini here :

Below is a word from this week’s selector himself:

A few of these tracks are a million miles away from the usual Kole sound. Given an opportunity like this however, I felt it would be criminal to ignore some much loved tracks from other genres. This playlist brings back many memories and includes tracks which can send shivers down my spine. As well as those which force me to lose myself on the dance floor! I hope you enjoy it!’

**Tracklisting**

1) So Far To Go Ft. Common And D'angelo - J Dilla
2) It Was a Good Day - Ice Cube
3) Skeng ft.Killa P, Flowdan - The Bug
4) Bam Bam - Sister Nancy
5) Choice – Perc
6) Hatch The Plan - Andy Stott
7) Arx - Tommy Four Seven

This week we are treated to a techno infused Dusk Dubs special from the very talented Hew who is not one for words, or to build an ego, but is happy to express himself while playing music which is the perfect personality for Dusk Dubs.

Hew has built his skills from being a resident at Club night's 'Great Friday' and 'Fundamental'. Both of these nights are very diverse and have provided him the ability to adapt to any genre across the Techno / House / Electronica field, be it a Progressive warm up set or peak time Techno.

He has performed on line ups with artists such as Aeroplane, Hector Couto, Cari Lekebusch and Alan Fitzpatrick.

Although happy to play what is needed of him , Hew created 'Cassini' with friend and other artist 'Kole' for the platform to express their own ideas musically. Putting on techno and progressive nights in Manchester, focusing on the vibe and music...not to mention visuals, artwork, podcasts, radio shows... the list is endless, which is why we are very honoured to have him select for us.

Below is a word from this week’s selector himself:

‘Thank you for asking me to produce a selection of tracks for Dusk Dubs :)

The selection starts off more melodic / proggy, and then gets more toward the stuff I play regularly - Dub Techno, I love the space created with Reverbs / Delays.

The tracks are a mixture of what I play in clubs and a few that I have yet had the opportunity to. 'Home feat Daniel Wilde' is a very powerful, soulful track. I can't ever imagine playing this out, however much I love it. It's off Tiefschwarz - Chocolate (artist album of own productions).

I like the more Progressive / Techno side to Dub as when I normally play these kind of tracks it will be a set or mix that I want to build / flow perfectly.

The track by 'Krisz Deak' is from a label called 'Deep in Dub', every track they release is amazing. It was also hard to pick a track off Krisz Deak's newest release, as each track stands alone.

I've ended my selection with a track featured on the infamous film 'Berlin Calling' (If you haven't seen it, and would love to see a fun / meaningful film based around a DJ / Producer in Berlin, I urge you to source it). Paul Kalkbrenner - Azure, in my opinion a perfect track to end any mix / set. It brings your energy levels back down to Earth with the soothing melodic bassline and incredible synth sounds, and always seems to create happiness :) [[ Hew ]]

**Tracklisting**

1) Iketa – Burn
2)Tiefschwarz – Home feat. Daniel Wilde
3) Random Walkers – Angel Fish
4) Maurizio Miceli – Way Out
5) Baumfreund - Herbstzeitlos
6) youANDme - Mouche
7) Monoloc - Pblc
8) Silvie Loto - Fluction
9) Krisz Deak – Deep in Dub 33
10) Paul Kalkbrenner - Azure

Volume 8 of our #DuskDubs series comes from a Danny Mac. A dedicated lover of pretty much every genre of electronic music. Whether it's Hardcore/Jungle from his days spent at "Orange" at the Astoria, or more recently Techno (inspired by one of the true originators of the genre, Derrick May). His influences and inspirations are right across the board. One of the most musically informative guys you will find. He just as likely to drop comments about a house set, as he is to be commenting on Gil Scott Heron.

So when we managed to get him to do a Dusk Dubs selection, we knew it would be a treat. Not only have we got a ridiculously good volume to add to the collection, but a new word to describe the very sounds Danny has given us has been created...... ‘Chuggers’. These tunes, ‘chug’ along, in their own world, and when you listen to them, you’ll be ‘chugging’ along in your own world as well! Perfect!

Find him here : www.twitter.com/chocky73

As always, catch us most nights on twitter via #DuskDubs ... and feel free to get involved.

Below is a word from this week’s selector himself:

"All these selections are heavily influenced by Andrew Wetherall's ‘A Love From Outer Space’ sets. After seeing him live at Bestival, it had a profound effect on me, maybe it was the music maybe it was the Lysergic Adventure??? Whatever it was I've been chugging along ever since. Massive shout out to Gidman for holding my hand through the process.

Peace..."

1) Wattstax Address by Jesse Jackson
2) Fort Romeau – Stay True
3) Rompante – How Low Can You Dance
4) Offset – Subversive
5) The Neville Brothers – Son’s and Daughters
6) Mount Kimbie – Made to Stray
7) Bostro Pesopeo - Basic

Volume 7 of our #DuskDubs series comes from a very special lady. The one and only Linda Graham, aka Mrs G. We can’t tell you enough how much we’ve been on at her to do this as we knew her selections would be amazing. And true to form, she comes through with a jazz breaks infused blend of pure chilled vibes.... a perfect showcase for Dusk Dubs.

It’s not surprising. At an early age, she worked countless hours simply just to get enough money for the raves, hitting every big one between ’93 and ’95. She has a wealth of tapes and constantly finds music that puts her back in that place and time she first heard that tune playing. Mrs G is perfect for Dusk Dubs, it’s fair to say music is her life, and it makes her the amazing woman she is. Much loved by her family, the extended #RCFF family, and now, we are really proud to have her in the #duskdubs family as well!

So, I give you the First Lady of Dusk Dubs........Mrs G

Let me share with you some of my all time favourite tracks to chill out to...heavily inspired by the mighty 4Hero with just a little sprinkle of Jamiroquai thrown in for good measure.

Volume 6 is special one. We are lucky enough to have the very talented Wageslave take time out from his busy schedule to provide us with his Dusk Dubs selections. Wageslave has been producing some of the finest records for sometime now, under his previous name '27B', and more so now as Wageslave. His experiments in minimalist beats, bass and electronica have captured the souls of many like minded producers and DJ's. He is also the curator of the byte podcast where listeners will be taken on a half-hour adventure through the darker realms of high-quality electronica.

This is a pure treat from start to finish! I'll say no more, over to the very infamous Wageslave!

Below is a word from this weeks selector, plus his amazing selections:

"*When I decided to get my tracks together, I was thinking about the meaning of the word “dub”. When dub first came out, a “dub” meant a “version” of the original track, so it got me thinking of versions and of course cover versions, so most of my selection are versions of other tracks, often quite well known ones... *"

**Tracklisting**

1) Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry – Enter The Dragon. The legendary dub madman made an album influenced by the kung-fu craze that swept thru the 70’s... not a cover version as such, this track is certainly inspired by the movie of the same name... Bruce Lee meets Scratch Perry? A winning combination!

2) Disco Dub Band – For the Love of Money – a 1976 dubby funky version of The O’Jay’s classic.

3) Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry – Disco Devil. Any old-skool ravers out entering their twilight years, like yours truly, will remember the early Prodigy material, and recognise this vocal instantly!

4) Jah Division – Dub Will Tear Us Apart. I accidentally stumbled across this version on Youtube a while back. Really rare track to find, only 600 copies were pressed to 7-inch by a New York label. I had to rip this audio off Youtube unfortunately; would LOVE to hear it on vinyl!

5) Shinehead – Billly Jean. Shinehead gives this classic Jacko a bit of edge: “she was more like a beauty queen, with an M-16...” Shoddy production just enhances the feel, in my opinion.

6) King Tubby – Take 5 Dub. I’ve been a huge fan of the Dave Brubeck version of this track for a long time, so to hear Tubby’s take on it is an absolute pleasure.

7) Stevie Wonder – Master Blaster (Jammin’) – 12” Dub Version. The uber-talented soul man gets dubby on his ode to Bob Marley.

8) Sly Dunbar – Inner City Blues. One half of Sly & Robbie steps into some very big shoes – covering Marvin Gaye is not to be taken lightly, but I think he pulls it off pretty well.

9) Lucky Dube – House of Exile. My favourite song by Africa’s “King of Reggae.” I was fortunate enough to be living in South Africa as apartheid crumbled, and shared and experienced so many positive experiences during that time. Dube had been a powerful voice of freedom during the darker years, appreciated by people from all walks of life, even connecting with privileged and often ignorant white kids like myself through his music. This shining light of South African music and culture was unfortunately taken from us too early, when the 43-year-old was shot dead by car-jackers as they attempted to steal his vehicle.

10) The Clash – Robber Dub. I was never a fan of punk, really, but The Clash still appealed to me, as they often ventured into ska and more dubby territory, like this ace version of their “Bankrobber” track.

11) Horace Andy – so many versions of this track, but few have a voice as unique as Horace Andy’s!

12) The Aggrovators – Dub On My Pillow. I love the way this starts off all kinda freaky and screechy... before turning in a sweet little version of a much-covered track. Anyone seen “Grease”?

13) Roots Manuva – Witness Dub. What more can I say? I love the original, but this dub version “Witness” is superb!

Volume 5 hits us with the man like Depoeism on the selections. When we started #DuskDubs, the variety in the selections is what is always apparent. Every selector giving a little of themselves to the other in the form of great music. Depoeism has nailed it with his selections.

Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, not to mention trippy dub house vibes!

It's been a pleasure producing this mixtape for Depoeism, as you can tell he has lived it all, and could tell you many tales about different occasions he has been listening to each track.

That, to me, is perfect and represents #DuskDubs to its fullest!

As the big man says himself.... Ya Chest Bro!

Below is a word from this week’s selector himself:

"My selections brings me back to when I was moving across from hiphop to house. Influenced by a bit of funk and soul . After a weekend out raving, listening to some chilled out beats was a must. Hope you all enjoy my compilation "

**Tracklisting**

Volume 5 hits us with the man like Depoeism on the selections. When we started #DuskDubs, the variety in the selections is what is always apparent. Every selector giving a little of themselves to the other in the form of great music. Depoeism has nailed it with his selections.

Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, not to mention trippy dub house vibes!

It's been a pleasure producing this mixtape for Depoeism, as you can tell he has lived it all, and could tell you many tales about different occasions he has been listening to each track.

That, to me, is perfect and represents #DuskDubs to its fullest!

As the big man says himself.... Ya Chest Bro!

Below is a word from this week’s selector himself:

"My selections brings me back to when I was moving across from hiphop to house. Influenced by a bit of funk and soul . After a weekend out raving, listening to some chilled out beats was a must. Hope you all enjoy my compilation "

All of these records, I have played in one place or another, in one way or another. This vibe is very close to my heart... I’m finding this sound more and more recently and it’s becoming to find me. Expect more of this in future mixes/sets/performances. Peace! “

Volume 3 is a special one. This week, the selector comes from USA. Originally from Chicago, now residing in Orlando, Florida, Lumanikus has been selecting for #DuskDubs since the start. And it’s no wonder that his selections are top drawer. All you have to do is head to his Soundcloud to see that not only does he know his tunes, his production skills are off the chart. #DuskDubs HQ is proud to have Lu as major player as he always gives us something fresh..... while keeping on the button with all things classically DUB! Top man and a massive part of the #DuskDubs fam!

Volume 2 of our #DuskDubs series comes from General Camel. This mix-tape was an absolute pleasure to make as this man’s selections are something else. General Camel is a much understated selector when it comes to music, keeping a very humble opinion, but considering his musical knowledge and history of finding so many hidden gems, we are very lucky to have him at the forefront of the Dusk Dubs crew!

Salute General Camel!

For a few weeks, myself and a few like minded music lovers have been sharing and talking about dub infused and influenced music.

So it only seems the natural progression to begin a mixtape podcast.

Simply, a selection of records is complied by someone other than myself, and I create a mixtape as the selector intended. No fancy mixing, just the music, back to back, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

Catch us most nights on twitter via #duskdubs ... see what has gone before what is being selected now, and feel free to contribute. The only rule, that your selection has a dub soul....whatever form that may be.

First up is the very knowledgeable man that goes by the name of Original Gidman. This man knows his stuff, and his library of music, mixes and radio shows is something to be in awe of.

Below is the tracklist, and a word from the man himself about each record.

Peace!

1) Black Panta By The Upsetters - Classic Dub from Lee "Scratch" Perry found on the 'Blackboard Jungle' album from 1973 ... The Opening "call" later sampled by The Orb.

2) The Congos - Congoman (Remix 1) - Another classic produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry, this version was remixed by the don Carl Craig and released back in 2003. A great example of how to dub out a classic reggae track for the electronic age.

3) Rockers Hi-Fi - Sexy Selector - Take from "Richard Dorfmeister Presents...A Different Drummer Selection" compilaion on the Different Drummer Label. Love the way these guys make modern dub.

4) Quiet Village - Pacific Rhythm - A brilliant balearic anthem with dub influences, from the "Silent Movie" album released in 2008 by Joel Martin and Matt Edwards.

5) Rae & Christian - Swimming Pool - This can be found on their 1st album "Northern Sulphuric Soul" (1998) on Manchester's Grand Central Records.... love the swirling synths on this one.

6) R.P.M - Food For My De-Rhythm - A classic from the Mo Wax stable from 1993.... love the dubbed out breaks on this one riddim.

7) Cesaria Evora ‎– Angola (Carl Craig Remix)- Released in 2005 and again Carl Craig takes the african vibes into the Techno/Acid arena.

8) Mala - Noches Sueños (Mala & Simbad Super Dub Mix) - Released on Gilles Peterson's eclectic Brownswood Recordings, this remix by Mala & Simbad layers a heavyweight bottom end in hommage to the dub pioneers..... BOOOOOOOOM

9) Burial - Kindred - One of the most recently released tracks on the compilation. Created by the mecurial producer that is Burial and released on Kode9's label Hyperdub Records, this track is built around hisses & crackles that transports the listener into a hazy smoke filled 'Dub Shack'... awesome.

10) CV313 - Seconds Forever - Love this Techno/Dub vibe that the Echospace label from Detroit create using analog equipment.... quality.

11) Lowtec - Carbon Copy - This one was released this year on Ramp Recordings sub label Brainmath and creates some great bottom end in a broken dub/house syle.

12) Special Forces - Trilogy - The Final track is from Special Forces AKA Photek again from the Mo Wax label. This epic 13 minute was originally released back in 1996..... NUFF SAID.

A few words from Purple Radio….
A two hour deep and thoughtful selection from the co-founder of the project Jon Brent (aka Original Gidman), alongside the mighty General Camel and Tommy Harrison. For those who are not in the know, Dusk Dubs is a project that has been running successfully for over a year now, providing beautifully mixes (all mixed by Tommy himself) every week.

Tonight, the mixtape comes from the demographic we don’t rep too often. And that is one of the younger generation. These guys are no different to us veterans. They have to put up with the same bullshit in the music industry that we do. They find their niches like we do. They have music that they love, that moves them and that reminds them of good people and good times..... like we do.

This Dusk Dubs Mixtape comes from Jack Fisk AKA Shooter Sharp JJ. The son of #duskdubs original selector, CD poster, and all round ledge Depoeism.
Shooter Sharp JJ is an original selector, well in his own right. And if this mixtape is anything to go by, we predict a massive future, but one thing to remember yeah.....we saw him first!

https://twitter.com/XshootersharpJJ

Here are a few words from the man himself:

“I was inspired to make a #DuskDubs from listening to the recent and older releases and I wanted to make one from the perspective of a teenager. Hope you enjoy my small #DuskDubs selection. Thank you for giving me this opportunity”……

]]> Most importantly, we’re a family. Men, women, North, South, UK, USA, Europe, Japan....we’re all together in this.

Tonight, the mixtape comes from the demographic we don’t rep too often. And that is one of the younger generation. These guys are no different to us veterans. They have to put up with the same bullshit in the music industry that we do. They find their niches like we do. They have music that they love, that moves them and that reminds them of good people and good times..... like we do.

This Dusk Dubs Mixtape comes from Jack Fisk AKA Shooter Sharp JJ. The son of #duskdubs original selector, CD poster, and all round ledge Depoeism.
Shooter Sharp JJ is an original selector, well in his own right. And if this mixtape is anything to go by, we predict a massive future, but one thing to remember yeah.....we saw him first!

Here are a few words from the man himself:

“I was inspired to make a #DuskDubs from listening to the recent and older releases and I wanted to make one from the perspective of a teenager. Hope you enjoy my small #DuskDubs selection. Thank you for giving me this opportunity”……

A few words from Purple Radio:
Dusk Dubs returns. This is not the second episode of a sci-fi trilogy, this is hopefully a welcome back for a long series of guest mixes. Selectors are usually invited to provide their favourite tracks.. the emphasis is on the music: no fancy mixing, no tricks, just great music. As it should always be. Tonight is General Camel's turn (a.k.a. Leighton Burgess) to provide his dubby cuts. So again, sit back, relax and listen with open ears and an open mind. We are in for another treat, which will rock us all. Gently.

A few words from General Camel:
Firstly, I'd like to thank all of the Purple Radio guys for giving Dusk Dubs the opportunity to showcase what we do on their station and as always a massive Big Up to 'Tommy' for putting this mix together. Included in my selections I've added what I would call some 'Dusk Dubs Classics' and also a few tracks that people might not be so familiar with..... So sit back, crack open a beer and enjoy the music!

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Moodymanc
Title: Cookin' Mixtape
Style: Jazz, Soul, Latin, Blues
Time: 64 Minutes
Date: 2015-05-12

A while ago we asked Moodymanc if he would be interested in doing a little mixtape for Dusk Dubs, the only criteria...enjoy himself.

His choice was to search in the stack of vinyl that was piled up in the kitchen, a stack that could probably tell a thousand tales of good times! We’ve all done it. All to mine, everyone congregating in the kitchen, laughs, vibes and music. Perfect!

Also producing as Dubble D, Balaphonic and Vault amongst others...and of course as a part of 2020 soundsystem, he is someone who manages to keep so many positive aspects of music alive. With his own productions and remixes, and now with his label 'Well Cut Records' he is championing the idea that the music comes first. We agree 100%.
In his own words: "The art comes BEFORE the branding. The same goes for the music on the records. Trust your instincts. Forget the brand. Welcome to our House."

We won’t lie, we feel blessed to have a true selector, music lover and complete gent share some of his records. In today’s hustle and ever increasing soul-less bustle in what some call the music industry, he’s always a breath of fresh air. Salute Moodymanc!

And as an added bonus, he has dropped us a few words about each record.

Moodymanc:
"All taken from records that have been accumulating by the record player in the kitchen, the result of sifting, cooking, dinner parties and after parties.... The crackles and the odd jump are part of the charm... honest ;) "

Tracklist:
The Loi Toki Tok_Ware Wa
70s afro funk from Kenya, reissued on the excellent Soundway label.

Roy Ayres Ubiquity_Can You Dig It?
From “Ubiquity”, raw, vibing and heavy Jazz funk, a lot less smooth than some of his better known later productions. Ridiculous energy!

Jerry Butler presents the Ice Man’s Band_Come Together
A bit of a find, Jerry Butler’s backing band playing instrumentals. This version of Come Together has such a brilliant sleazy groove. The album’s jam packed with the funk!

Zaka Percussion_Fusion
A French Percussion group, recorded in 1980. The album has loads of different styles and the compositions are really structured. A rare record. Sample heaven if you’re into that sort of thing ;) (Don’t say I never give you nuffink!).

Wando_Na Baxia do Sepateiro
Great vibing 70s Brazillian funk. Love the sound of this record despite it being almost acetate thin.

Ramsey Lewis_Aufo Oodo
Ridiculous playing and orchestration. An all round epic production.

Horace Silver_The Mohican and the Great Spirit
I love this record. It came from an old friend back in 1990. We were in a band together and ‘covered’ this, believe it or not. I dug it out recently after Horace Silver died and it’s been a regular re-visit since. Beautiful playing, and Great Spirit galore.

Roberta Flack_Compared to What?
Les McCann produced and wonderfully orchestrated, and the lyrics feel kind of apt given the current political situation (don’t get me started). Brilliant vocals from Roberta Flack. A singalong for me!

Kutiman_No Groove Where I Come From ft. Elran Dekel
Kutiman’s from Israel, I’m guessing this album is mid noughties. I bought the album at Fat City and was in touch with him on Myspace for a while but don’t know what he’s up to now. This is one of those records that everybody always asks ‘Who the fuck is this???’

Uniao Black_Everyone’s a Winner
Another Brazilian gem, a really great version of the Hot Chocolate classic and of course in tribute to Errol Brown who sadly died yesterday.

K C and The Sunshine Band_Blow Your Whistle
From their pre disco days. Proper feel good funk. Reminds me of going to rare groove nights as a kid in the late 80s!

Lou Rawls_Natrual Man
The title track of the album. The spoken word intro is brilliant tongue in cheek but develops into a brilliant song. The production, groove and the backing vocals are sublime....

Stevie Wonder_A Ribbon in the Sky
One of Stevie’s less celebrated ballads but for me absolute perfection. If there was ever proof of God existing this is it. Sheer beauty. Every single element is perfection...]]>

So go make yourself a classic ‘Caipirinha’ cocktail and enjoy…. “Come On England!!!!”

True to form, Gidman has done a write up of each track:

1. Cut Chemist - Intro (The Big Dig) - An excerpt from an interview with Cut Chemist when Madlib, J.Rocc, DJ Babuetc. went record digging in Brazil and discovered so many great records which would inform their own music.

2. Milton Nascimento / Lô Borges – Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser– Taken from what many regard as the best Brazilian album ever. Released on Odeon Fonografica Ltd records in 1972 on a beautiful 2xLP Gatefold release, it’s this original stereo version I have used here rather than the re-mastered version.

3. Dub Majestic – Kaya Babylon – The first of my selections from the amazing “Poulp Up Brazil !” compilation and released in 2013, which focus’s on individual Dub scenesfrom particular countries.

4. (Live Commentary) - Pele Goal From The 1970 World Cup Final.

5. Azymuth – Melф Dos Dois Bicudos (Harmonic 313 Remix) – This stunning head-nodding remix by the don that is Mark Pritchard is taken from the Limited Album 12” Sampler which was released in 2007 on Far Out Records. ….. Big Look !!

6. Black Junior’s – Mas Que Linda Estas (Vocal) – Often referred to as the first Hip-Hop group out of Brazil, theseteenagers coming from São Paulo released thisoldschool/electro track as a single in 1984. Their self-titled album was massive at the time, selling over 1 million copies.

7. Bebel Gilberto - Bananeria (Rae & Christian Remix) – The Manchester duo of Rae & Christian are on remix duties for Gilberto’s bossa nova classic. Released in 2001 on the album ‘Tanto Tempo Remixes’… the pair take the smooth sensual vocals and underpin them with a groovy bass shuffler.

8. Jorge Ben – Ponta de Lança Africano (Umbabarauma) –Another Brazilian classic. Featured on Jorge Ben’s amazing album ‘África Brasil’ (1976), and like many of the tracks, this combines Brazilian, African, and American musical styles, resulting in a funky sing-a-long classic.

9. Suba – Sereia – Taken from the 1999 album ‘São Paulo Confessions’ by the late musician Suba. This is a perfect example of the way he would marry Brazilian airy melodies and percussion with an electronic edge. Unfortunately, the Serbian born producer, who spent most of his life in Sao Paulo was involved in a tragic accident resulting in his death thee same year the album was release. Go seek it out, it’s an amazing album, blurring the boundaries between electronica traditional Brazilian rhythms and beautiful ethereal vocals.

10. Tamba Trio – Mas Que Nada – Everyone know’s the (1966)Sérgio Mendes version of this record, but like many Brazilian classics, when you start digging,, you find out they were covered or penned by different artists. Originally ‘Mas QueNada’ was written by Jorge Ben on his debut album ‘SambaEsquema Novo’ in 1963 and many have covered it since – I’ve gone with Tamba Trio’s version, taken from their 1963Avanço album, although probably made more famous in the modern era, by Nike’s advertising campaign for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.



11. Supreme Team (Madlib & Kareem Riggins) – VoltaPorcima – Featured on Stones Throw Records 3xLP Box Set ‘Hella International’, that was released in 2009 in celebration of their yearly event at Miami's Winter Music Conference. Produced by Kareem Riggins and also one of the originalcrate-diggers Madlib aka The Beat Konducta, this track is an example of the influence of “The Big Dig” which Cut Chemist speaks about in the Intro of this volume.

12. Dub Movement – Circense Melodica – The second of my selections from the 2013 compilation “Poulp Up Brazil !”.

13. Magic Drum Orchestra – Drop It Like It’s Hot – Magic Drum Orchestra formed by Ralph Cree and Glyn Bush akaBiggaBush take Snoop Dogg & Pharrell’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and create an amazing 2014 cover version. Throughout the recording sessions the producers used over 100 drummers and percussionists, resulting in an amazing ‘live feel’ recording. The track segues into a medley of the Muppet Show theme and James Brown's Funky Drummer before climaxing in full-on batucada style drumming. Stunning!!

14. Waajeed - Jeedo Suave – This track definitely has worldwide credentials. Originally produced by Waajeed out of Detroit and released in 2009 on the Series One 12” on the Japanese Record Label ‘Jazzy Sport’. This is a cover version of the late and great Jay Dee aka J Dilla’s “Rico Suave BossaNova” from his 2001 Welcome 2 Detroit LP, which originally sampled The Milton Banana Trio's "Cidade Vazia" from 1966. A perfect example of how crate digging and clever sampling results in a wonderful Brazilian sounding cover version.

15. Edu Lobo – Vento Bravo – My final ‘classic’ selection…. Featured on Edu Lobo’s ‘Missa Breve’ long-player which was released on the EMI & Odeon Fonográfica record label in 1973. Another rich toned melodic classic – there’s so many out there…. I urge you to get digging…. It’s all about “Dusty Fingers”

16. Pathless – Goddess – Amazing to think that in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s producers and artists out of Germany were embracing Brazilian rhythms and styles, and creating authentic sounding productions for the dance floor and the headphones. No more so, than at Munich’s Compost Records which released the ‘Glücklich’ series., five volumes of“Brazilian Flavours From The Past And Present”. The production outfit Pathless combined the talents of StefanLeisering, and Axel Reinemer who also recorded under thealias of ‘Extended Spirit’ for Jazzanova’s record label - SonarKollectiv.

17. Depth Charge – Goal – Released back in 1990 and produced by the mighty J. Saul Kane for the ‘Vinyl Solution’ record label, run out from the shop on Portobello Road in London, which is now famous for spawning oldschoollegends such as Depth Charge, Eon, and Bizarre Inc. This track was the first of his two homages to World Cup Football- the second being the Romario 12” back in 1998.

18. Bebel Gilberto – Tanto Tempo (Peter Kruder Remix) – My second selection from the Tanto Tempo Remixes’ 2001 compilation. This time Peter Kruder steps up, out of G-Stone Records in Vienna Austria, He reconstructs Gilberto’s bossanova standard into a deep techno/house killer in true Kruderstyle, while providing a hint of her ethereal vocals.

19. Les Gammas – Outra Vida ((Eddy & Dus KontrapunktRemix) – This wonderful remix can be found on the OutraVida Remixes 12” released in 2002 on Michael Reinboth’sCompost Records Label. Les Gammas hand the remixing duties over to Eddy & Dus, a duo out of Croatia who expand on the original… moving it into Drum & Bass territory.

20. DJ Suv Featuring Tali – Do You Remember – While the Bristol Drum & Bass sound was taking over the Drum & Bassworld in the mid to late 1990’s, with the likes of Roni Size, DJ Die, Krust and Suv, all under the guidance and influence ofBryan Gee and Jumping Jack Frost’s Record Label V Recordings. The label began embracing the Brazilian Drum & Bass scene, showcasing Brazilian DJ’s such as DJ Marky, XRS and DJ Patiffe – This obviously had an impact on DJ’s like Suv who began making amazing Drum & Bass riddimswith a Brazilian influence, for example this 2002 12” on Full Cycle Records.

21. Drumagick – Easy Boom – Also released in 2002 onSambaLoco Records out of Brazil, this wonderful Drum and Bass track has sunshine vibes oozing out of it in spades… sampling Jorge Ben’s ”Take It Easy My Brother Charles” 1968 classic – you can’t but help sing-a-long .

9. Suba – Sereia – Taken from the 1999 album ‘São Paulo Confessions’ by the late musician Suba. This is a perfect example of the way he would marry Brazilian airy melodies and percussion with an electronic edge. Unfortunately, the Serbian born producer, who spent most of his life in Sao Paulo was involved in a tragic accident resulting in his death thee same year the album was release. Go seek it out, it’s an amazing album, blurring the boundaries between electronica traditional Brazilian rhythms and beautiful ethereal vocals.

10. Tamba Trio – Mas Que Nada – Everyone know’s the (1966)Sérgio Mendes version of this record, but like many Brazilian classics, when you start digging,, you find out they were covered or penned by different artists. Originally ‘Mas QueNada’ was written by Jorge Ben on his debut album ‘SambaEsquema Novo’ in 1963 and many have covered it since – I’ve gone with Tamba Trio’s version, taken from their 1963Avanço album, although probably made more famous in the modern era, by Nike’s advertising campaign for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.



11. Supreme Team (Madlib & Kareem Riggins) – VoltaPorcima – Featured on Stones Throw Records 3xLP Box Set ‘Hella International’, that was released in 2009 in celebration of their yearly event at Miami's Winter Music Conference. Produced by Kareem Riggins and also one of the originalcrate-diggers Madlib aka The Beat Konducta, this track is an example of the influence of “The Big Dig” which Cut Chemist speaks about in the Intro of this volume.

12. Dub Movement – Circense Melodica – The second of my selections from the 2013 compilation “Poulp Up Brazil !”.

13. Magic Drum Orchestra – Drop It Like It’s Hot – Magic Drum Orchestra formed by Ralph Cree and Glyn Bush akaBiggaBush take Snoop Dogg & Pharrell’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and create an amazing 2014 cover version. Throughout the recording sessions the producers used over 100 drummers and percussionists, resulting in an amazing ‘live feel’ recording. The track segues into a medley of the Muppet Show theme and James Brown's Funky Drummer before climaxing in full-on batucada style drumming. Stunning!!

14. Waajeed - Jeedo Suave – This track definitely has worldwide credentials. Originally produced by Waajeed out of Detroit and released in 2009 on the Series One 12” on the Japanese Record Label ‘Jazzy Sport’. This is a cover version of the late and great Jay Dee aka J Dilla’s “Rico Suave BossaNova” from his 2001 Welcome 2 Detroit LP, which originally sampled The Milton Banana Trio's "Cidade Vazia" from 1966. A perfect example of how crate digging and clever sampling results in a wonderful Brazilian sounding cover version.

15. Edu Lobo – Vento Bravo – My final ‘classic’ selection…. Featured on Edu Lobo’s ‘Missa Breve’ long-player which was released on the EMI & Odeon Fonográfica record label in 1973. Another rich toned melodic classic – there’s so many out there…. I urge you to get digging…. It’s all about “Dusty Fingers”

16. Pathless – Goddess – Amazing to think that in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s producers and artists out of Germany were embracing Brazilian rhythms and styles, and creating authentic sounding productions for the dance floor and the headphones. No more so, than at Munich’s Compost Records which released the ‘Glücklich’ series., five volumes of“Brazilian Flavours From The Past And Present”. The production outfit Pathless combined the talents of StefanLeisering, and Axel Reinemer who also recorded under thealias of ‘Extended Spirit’ for Jazzanova’s record label - SonarKollectiv.

17. Depth Charge – Goal – Released back in 1990 and produced by the mighty J. Saul Kane for the ‘Vinyl Solution’ record label, run out from the shop on Portobello Road in London, which is now famous for spawning oldschoollegends such as Depth Charge, Eon, and Bizarre Inc. This track was the first of his two homages to World Cup Football- the second being the Romario 12” back in 1998.

18. Bebel Gilberto – Tanto Tempo (Peter Kruder Remix) – My second selection from the Tanto Tempo Remixes’ 2001 compilation. This time Peter Kruder steps up, out of G-Stone Records in Vienna Austria, He reconstructs Gilberto’s bossanova standard into a deep techno/house killer in true Kruderstyle, while providing a hint of her ethereal vocals.

19. Les Gammas – Outra Vida ((Eddy & Dus KontrapunktRemix) – This wonderful remix can be found on the OutraVida Remixes 12” released in 2002 on Michael Reinboth’sCompost Records Label. Les Gammas hand the remixing duties over to Eddy & Dus, a duo out of Croatia who expand on the original… moving it into Drum & Bass territory.

20. DJ Suv Featuring Tali – Do You Remember – While the Bristol Drum & Bass sound was taking over the Drum & Bassworld in the mid to late 1990’s, with the likes of Roni Size, DJ Die, Krust and Suv, all under the guidance and influence ofBryan Gee and Jumping Jack Frost’s Record Label V Recordings. The label began embracing the Brazilian Drum & Bass scene, showcasing Brazilian DJ’s such as DJ Marky, XRS and DJ Patiffe – This obviously had an impact on DJ’s like Suv who began making amazing Drum & Bass riddimswith a Brazilian influence, for example this 2002 12” on Full Cycle Records.

21. Drumagick – Easy Boom – Also released in 2002 onSambaLoco Records out of Brazil, this wonderful Drum and Bass track has sunshine vibes oozing out of it in spades… sampling Jorge Ben’s ”Take It Easy My Brother Charles” 1968 classic – you can’t but help sing-a-long .
