Love it. Great work. Looking forward to the album.

The first instalment out of the upcoming Blend Mishkin album Unity of
Opposites, Egyptian Love is a hypnotic, Arabic jazz-meets-Jamaican-ska
joint, laced with a psychedelic vibe and Andalusian modes.

Featuring no other than the talented BNC on vocals and the incredible Roots
Evolution band on the riddim, this first single perfectly sets the tone of what is
to follow.

“The brasses re-announce an Arabic theme and a soft-spoken, BNC (Jeff
Gonzales) sings plaintively. Blend Mishkin’s electronics take us into ethereal
places as we follow a seven-minute interlacing sound set. The control and
discipline of the band is evident here, the vocals do not dominate, nothing jars
us out of our dream, but we are merged, sucked into a web of sound evoking
something lost in the vast land of Egypt.”
-Dan Franck

Ancient Astronauts - All Of The Things You Do feat. Tippa Irie (snippet mix)

“Goodnight Rico” is dedicated  to the eminent Jamaican trombonist Rico Rodriguez who passed away in September 2015. Featuring a beautiful, plaintive horns melody and one drop bounce that characterised many of Rico’s seminal recordings. Soothsayers horns have channelled their treasured memories of performing onstage with Rico into this composition. The track features great Solo trombone by Harry Brown as wells as Idris Rahman on Tenor Saxophone and Robin Hopcraft’s trumpet all deftly enhanced  by a fine studio performance from Soothsayers band. Mixing is in the experienced hands of Nick Manasseh who subtly frees the cuts diverse sonic layers and taking the flipside to the outer reaches of the “dub -o –sphere”.

GOODNIGHT RICO

OUT NOW ON <a href="http://bit.ly/chritn">iTUNES</a>, JUNO, AND EVERYWHERE. Coming in Nov on "Chrome Optimism" part 2 vinyl 12"!  Vinyl collectors check the part one 12" vinyl release with alternate versions http://bit.ly/junoS1

"I got into sort of cosmic explosions, euphoric chrome optimism." – David Lynch
“Hello, Hell is very low, and Heaven is very, very high” – Lee Scratch Perry

SUBATOMIC SOUND presents “CHROME OPTIMISM REMIXED" digital release (SS015)
DUBBLESTANDART meets DAVID LYNCH & LEE ‘SCRATCH’ PERRY

Following up the vinyl release, Subatomic Sound drops the full length digital album with remixes covering dub and dubstep of course, but also less expected twists on dubwise bass heavy sounds like tropical, electro, 2step/garage, minimal tech, and ambient dub. The remixers include top new producers of these genres from the USA: Antiserum, Dub Gabriel and Kush Arora from SF andDave Q, Liondub, Subatomic Sound System, Ming, & April White from NYC, as well as Tony Dubshot out of the Netherlands and Dubblestandart from Vienna.

In 2008, NYC based Subatomic Sound teamed up with Vienna’s dub masters Dubblestandart to begin a series of limited edition 12” vinyl exclusives that brought together iconic originators in the history of dub reggae with the gritty underground vibes of the dubstep movement.The lead 12”, “Iron Devil”, included the first ever dubstep tracks from both Lee Scratch Perry and Prince Far-I, produced in collaboration with Dubblestandart and remixed by Subatomic Sound System and Paris’ Tom Watson.Released on hand stamped vinyl in vintage Jamaican jackets, “Iron Devil” disappeared from shelves worldwide in less than a week.In 2009, the follow up vinyl was dedicated to an explosive pairing of Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry with rising Brooklyn dancehall reggae star Jahdan Blakkamoore that revisited Perry’s ‘70s classic “Blackboard Jungle” off the seminal album of the same name, a cornerstone of dub reggae that featured Scratch and King Tubby at the controls.A shot heard round the world, this collaboration culminated that July with a capacity concert in NYC’s Central Park with Lee Perry, Dubblestandart, Subatomic Sound System, & Jahdan Blakkamoore.

The third 12” in the series is entitled “Chrome Optimism” and on this release Dubblestandart brings together the most unbelievable combination yet, a world class summit of mad genius: Jamaican dub originator Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry together with iconic American filmmaker David Lynch, plus as an added bonus, famed French avant garde composer Jean-Michel Jarre. On “Chrome Optimism”, Scratch exercises his inimitable gift to juxtapose spirituality with humor through wordplay that walks a line between nonsense and profundity: “Hello, Hell is very low and Heaven is very, very high!”David Lynch responds with equally mind twisting metaphors like “Euphoric, chrome optimism” and mantras like “The ideas tell you how they want to be”, describing his powerful experience and obsession with transcendental meditation.The otherworldy melody from Jean-Michel Jarre’s famous composition “Oxygen Part 4” floats over the top. Vienna’s Dubblestandart, NYC’s Subatomic Sound System, & Bristol’s RSD switch up the musical vibes beneath, moving from hard charging dubstep to Perry’s classic dub reggae to spacey soundscapes typical of Lynch & Jarre aesthetics.

The first of two vinyl 12"s is out now in the US http://bit.ly/c8HL4K, the UK http://bit.ly/buQvxt and Japan.
