Music for the love of JA! Deep house that gives thanks with a fusion of House, Reggae and Dub vibrations. Featuring the unmistakeable hook sample used in genial effect by the one Damian Marley in his heavyweight, hard hitting and true to life cut Welcome To Jamrock, a sample of Ini Kamoze - World a Reggae, a massive record for the original 80's and 90's reggae and dancehall pioneer, who is also responsible for the dancehall anthem Here Comes The Hot Stepper. 
Warm off key chords and gentle afro rhythms glide underneath filtered melodic synth shots that pepper and slowly multiply, building up the rhythm as the track gains movement and unfolds into a break of calling synth keys, punctuating delayed drum hits and a responding reverbed piano riff that creates an almost mournful melodic backdrop as the vocal hook sets in and repeated to add tension on the ascent to the top of the break. A split second of silence for reflection and then the arrangement drops all elements back into the latter half of the track, synths and piano's re enter hands up and eyes wide, as the vocal keeps looping over the grounded beats and thick chord rhythm that gently guides back down to the outro section.

Out In The Street

Out In The Street - [RCF01]22 *FREE DOWNLOAD*

Featuring the beautiful and captivating voice of soprano Emma Kirkby singing O Euchari taken from the selection of works compiled as A Feather On The Breath Of God - Sequences and Hymns by Abess Hildegard Of Bingen, who was an 11th century German Benedictine abess, composer, writer, poet and visionary. Within this track the vocal is carried by a clean and simple synth sequence, an emerging and bubbling filtered 303 bassline and crisp kick and percussion work that rolls the groove out leading into a metallic, melodic synth chord breakdown. The intent is to invoke a spiritual moment, the closing of eyes and a sense of deep euphoria as the vocal returns, fleeting and floating above the percussive synth chords that repeat and merge with building snares, stepping up to the drop back inside the acid house rhythms and 303 low end groove that drive the track until its end.

Heads Down - [RCFd02]22 *FREE DOWNLOAD*

A small tribute to the sound and the art of dub mixing and dub reggae music that emerged from Kingston, Jamaica in the early 1970's. The art and the concept of dubbing was conceived and pioneered by Osbourne Ruddock better known as King Tubby. Dub mixing set the blueprint for what we now call the Remix. The art of using the mixing console as a performance instrument meant producers could create multiple mixes or "versions" of a track in one session, by using the faders to re mix the rhythmical, musical and vocal elements into a new arrangement each time, bringing signals in and out at their artistic discretion. Using echo chambers and reverbs and phasers, movement could be endlessly perpetuated by building up layers of echoed and effected sounds and licks to create rhythmic frame works from which to manipulate and work the spaces in between and around the sounds. Jamaican pioneers and innovators of Dub include Tubby's protege, the one Hopeton Overton Brown aka The Scientist, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Prince Jammy, Crucial Bunny, Mikey Dread, Jah Shaka, Mad Professor and Adrian Sherwood. Dubbing is a Must!

AS always we start with ladies first and focus on the work of REBEKAH. Hailing from Birmingham and based in Berlin, Rebekah is a highly regarded and respected DJ, Producer and remixer with an extensive back catalogue of releases on respected and essential Techno record labels such as Chris Liebing's CLR of Frankfurt, the seminal SOMA run by Glasgow's finest heavyweight Techno pioneers Slam and MORD Records out of Rotterdam run by the wicked Bas Mooy just to name a few. 
Rebekah has collaborated to explosive effect with equally regarded artists such as LAG (Serbia), Paula Temple, Chris Liebing and supported The Prodigy on their last tour here in the UK 2023. Her 4 deck live shows are electric, a powerful hybrid set up using Native Instruments TRAKTOR and Rebekah has worked with dance music tech institutions such as the afore mentioned Native Instruments (GER) and Arturia (FRA) to professionally demonstrate and review the technology that makes up her live set up, links can be found below.
Recently beyond music Rebekah has been instrumental in actively promoting better insight into safeguarding for women in the Dance music industry and education on effective prevention and clear protocol for dealing with reporting of sexual harassment and abuse and Rebekah has done this through the End The Silence campaign, and a feature film was made for this years Amsterdam Dance Event 2023. With more women and girls being encouraged to get into dance music professionally that's definitely a cause we can all get behind ;) \O/
It only takes a brief look at her worldwide schedule to see how in demand Rebekah is right now, tearing up dancefloors from Singapore to Buenos Aries to Madrid to Paris or Naples to Amsterdam and way beyond, a clear testament to what she means to the Techno scene. 

*This is a tribute to the classic Rebekah sound, I hope you enjoy it 
*The Vision gets played twice for two reasons 1. You can never have too much of a good thing and 2. in the moment I had a disc that was glitching with Halo Effect on and I didn't want to reach for a track unrelated to Rebekah on so I have to own that :I  Roll on PT2 it will be on point.

The Test Tape

Released in 1987 by the American original House music cornerstone and pioneer Ralphi Rosario, the track You Used To Hold Me is one of House music's finest moments, with an unforgettable vocal by Xaviera Gold and the upfront and hard hitting Chicago House production style of Ralphi Rosario the record was and will always be a dance floor killer. 
Using parts of that timeless vocal acapella over a previous routecauze track 'Lazulum' that sentiment of longing for touch just got a little deeper -
"YOU GOT TO KNOW HOW YOU MAKE ME FEEL!"

routecauze V Ralphi Rosario ft Xaviera Gold - YOU USED TO HOLD ME

🎛 The sound of Techno drives me 🎛 Originally from London raised in Lincolnshire in the UK. A lover of a broad range of music i have eclectic taste but my heart lies with bass music and dance orientated sounds.
From hearing the Dub and Reggae my dad and uncles used to play as a boy to  the Jungle and Drum & Bass tapes i used to collect as youngster at school to the Acid & Progressive House and Trance i used to dance to when i first started to attend electronic music events right up to the deep dubby mechanical and technoid minded music I cant help but be immersed in currently.  I have been honoured to have my dj mixes featured on podcasts such as TSESSIONS, London, and blessed to have been part of online radio events such THE END Celebration, an event that celebrated the iconic London club The End, the music, the people and amazing residents such as the one Mr C (Superfreq Records/The Shamen), Colin Dale, Murf and Layo & Bushwacka to only name a few, and I was lucky enough to have contributed a set along side these amazing artists. I have had music released as part of a Free Download compilation called Parts From The DAT by TB Arthur an Acid House and Electro from Chicago who is one half of Blotter Trax, who are based in Berlin, alongside Detroit's very own Magda, a Minimal Techno cornerstone and pioneer and label owner (Perm/ Items&Things with Marc Houle and Troy Pierce) and this was another blessing that I keep deep in my heart in the hope to share and release again and work harder.
 Electronic music has always had a profound effect on me, and i'm fascinated with the way it can move people both emotionally and physically,the way it is created and performed and i am also driven by the need to search for truly special music to play as a DJ and study as a producer. Inspired by my surroundings, whether quiet woodland solitude or bleak city night walks, I find there is beauty and inspiration in everything.
I have been moving to reflect this in the studio by introducing more hardware synths, modular sources, diy synths and drum machines to explore the foundations of sound design creativity and to work on a more experimental esoteric approach to creating and recording music for the future. Always looking, learning and seeking to evolve, to fully understand old/new concepts/techniques and to discover future sounds and join all the dots. 
Thanks for being there, much PEACE.
