Accents Podcast Series #017 - MARTYN PÄSCH

Side A: Bass is Eternal
Side B: 2-step Mutual Dream

A Night in the Skull Discotheque by the beloved underground selector CCL is the latest offering in the T4T LUV NRG label’s highly limited DJ mix series of cassettes. This immersive journey through a wonderland of proto-dubstep sounds from the late 1970s through the year 2000 is a sonic sibling to CCL’s acclaimed 2018 mix Ode to Queer Steppas.

Inspired in part by Eris Drew’s use of “old records to create new styles out of fragments” on her Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1 mixtape (T4T LUV NRG, 2019), CCL approached this recording with a parallel frame of mind. Created with 3 CDJs, one Turntable, and a Boss Digital Delay 200, the tracks included in the mix are deconstructed from their whole, and constituent parts are intertwined, sampled, and dubbed out while being further stretched beyond their physical limits. CCL mixed many tracks at the 'wrong speed', pitched beyond their original recognizable tone; others are recontextualized through imaginative layering.

With a solid nod to seminal mixtapes of the early 90s, CCL references the namesake for Side A, Bass Is Eternal, an unreleased 1992 mixtape by influential Bristolian producers Smith & Mighty, an important sonic fulcrum amongst the musical tributaries of the hardcore continuum that continues to reverberate to this day. CCL experienced the after-effects of this ‘proto’ sound genesis in 2008, while living in Bristol, by which point its emergent whispers had coalesced into what became known as dubstep. Tracing a rich history of reference through the samples, basslines, moods, and drum patterns emanating from Bass Is Eternal while looking for connections that predate it became a long-term fascination for CCL. The result is a DJ mix that connects the oft-forgotten dots between proto eras and modern developments in bass and dubstep.

For the resulting sonic ride on A Night in the Skull Discotheque, CCL leads us to a fantastical place of timeless surreality – a majestic haunted dancehall soundtracked by a giddy rush of steppers and dubbed-out delights. Subs rattle through syncopated percs, and moody synths glisten in macabre glory. Fantastical dancers wriggle in wispy eternity, liberated from their corporeal forms in all their greatest spiritual wonder. Both extravagant and dusky, A Night in the Skull Discotheque is a world of seductive in-betweens, a place caught between the moodiest depths and the highest exuberance – A love letter to one of the most impactful formative sounds of the last decades.

CCL - A Night in the Skull Discotheque

Hello to the summer of 2024, 

which is shaping up to be hotter than ever! 
Here we are in our 23rd episode of the podcast series, and it's time to introduce one of the rising stars of the Milanese scene, Atoloi, a DJ and producer who has no qualms about mixing genres and styles in his own productions and mixes. His releases on V/A labels such as A.biotic, here on our recent ACCENTVA008, on Stagno Records... set him apart with his original, sensitive and poly-rhythmic approach to music. Atoloi offers us a magnificent 'Dub Infused' set, just the way we like them, so we don't forget to take our time, to savour and seize the moment on the banks of a river or on the beach, in the shade of a coconut tree.

The term "blaue Stunde" describes the period during the evening or morning twilight when the sun is so low on the horizon that the blue light spectrum still or already dominates the dawning sky. Depending on the moment of its appearance, it announces the approach of the sleepy cloak of night that will cover its observers, or it warns night owls and dreamers that it will soon be time to face the day. In addition to the blue hour, there is the concept of the golden hour, which describes the time shortly after sunrise or before sunset. In contrast to the golden hour, the blue hour is visible when the sky is overcast, as clouds still enable its characteristic blue colouring.

With contributions from Eliza Wagener, Gioanna Scarlini, Martha Zonouzi, Carole Possing, Estefania Morales Moral, Mondrosen, Georg von Rüdiger, Konstantin Bessonov and excerpts from Bernard Queysanne's 1974 film adaptation of Georges Perec's book ‘Un Homme Qui Dort’.

In den blauen Stunden - 14/07/2024

Ambient dub is an electronic fusion of ambient and dub reggae, featuring the atmosphere of the former and the Jamaican style basslines, percussion, and psychedelic production techniques of the latter. The name of the genre was coined by the Beyond label with a series of compilation albums of the same name, starting with Ambient Dub Volume 1: The Big Chill in 1992. Waveform Records was also generally considered to be the American counterpart of the Beyond label out of the UK, which was exclusively devoted to the Ambient Dub movement. While the lines are blurred between these electronic genres, ambient dub can genuinely be discerned by its denser atmospheres, slow tempo, a heavier use of reverb and/or delay, and an emphasis on bass akin to traditional dub. It also echoed dub pioneers who used their studio as an instrument, like King Tubby and The Scientist.
