YA Z AN closing Hypnotic Techno Set at OHM Berlin on the 29th of Nov 2022 for Cascade album release party and show case. 

Berlin’s Open Music Lab introduces Cascade, a compilation featuring some of the collective’s valued artists, created in partnership with Native Instruments. Releases December 16, 2022, pre order here:
https://openmusiclab.bandcamp.com/album/cascade

YA Z AN has contributed to the Cascade Album with the track NADA-R; With its charging energy and fresh stamina, the constant motion, syncing the chaos into a calming flow of hypnotic sound. NADA-R is a dripping moist of a misty cold morning on a flower leaf.
Creating NADA-R, YA Z AN was emphasising the process more than the product itself. Giving every musical element a character and a role and making those elements narrate their own stories from within. The hypnotic techno track uses elements of familiar sounds like 808 and 909 drum sounds along with atmospheric sounds from field recording recorded in the mediterranean hemisphere, as well as integrating methods of calculated groove disturbance like polyrhythm and syncopation. 
For early mornings right when the sun is setting the new day, after a pleasant rave or getting ready for a busy day. 

NADA-R was showcased in this set at minute 1:00:50.

MM Mixcast 062: Sa3b

I find it very interesting to observe the range of different productions that fly under the banner of Dubtechno these days...

And although I like many of these variations, from the more ambient and chord-focused interpretations to the dry, atonal and polyrhythmic percussively  focused productions, I've been getting a sense lately that something is a little wrong. By this I mean since a certain point there has been a development towards a generic sound and format that somehow seems very superficial bringing the same flat and trivial sounds thrown together and promoted as  "Dubtechno"  and to me, often it seems like fast food compared to the original models. There is even  talk of a new wave. Both the production and the way it is presented seem somehow cheap, random and arbitrary to me. Often it is difficult if not impossible to avoid being interwined with these developments if you are enthusiastic about the often amorphous genre that is now labeled Dubtechno. 

Don't get me wrong I am not saying that there is no place for this "new sound" but the more I reflect on my enthusiasm - from my first exposure to dub and its techno hybrids, through rhythm & sound and through sound system culture in the late 90s to my renewed immersion in recent years, I realize that I should use the terms Dub and Dubtechno more and more carefully - coming from a place of a certain respect and appreciation. Because often these genres, carry a lot of cultural heritage, standing for a level of quality in delivery that in reality is hard to develop, and often lost to the disposable imitation economy we are beginning to see more and more of, which only serves to dilute things to an accepted average.

To me a big slice of what is promoted as Dub or Dubtechno these days falls well short of these original benchmarks that were set a long time ago. 

Through many conversations about these topics, reflecting on different perspectives, a mix was created recently where two fellows, I can call my friends, and I combined 3 sequential sets of 7 tracks each, to rest with and pay a little respect to some of the more remote but still relatable facets of dub in different ways. It's completely natural for styles to evolve and mix. It's great  to see with how much creativity and depth some artists do this.  And that's what this mix should stand for. 
You can listen now to this wonderfull journey through these divergent realms..this is Sai - MLD in Session with DJ Sideways & Noosa Sound System.
