Blech II: Blechsdöttir

For my tenth (!) show on Operator.Radio I selected some of my favorite jungle / drum&bass tracks from the mid 90s. This stuff still sounds so unbelievably fresh and futuristic. The sound of a future that never came. And even in its early days it was all over the place and so diverse and it mutated every week. 
To start it all off I picked an early track from Squarepusher. I was 18 years old when this stuff came out and I had been record shopping in London and missed my flight back home, so I was booked on the next one, early the next morning. It was around 7 o'clock when I finally reached my bed, and I put my freshly bought copy of Squarepusher's first album on to fall asleep. My brain was rearranged for good at that particular moment. It opened up worlds of bass, electronics, library music, jazz and everything in between it. Total perfection.
I've always been a fan of Luke Vibert, and he is still going strong. That's why I included a new track of his as an exception to the classics approach for this show. It's just very retro and cool and fits perfectly with his Plug track coming up in a few moments. 
Between that there is a cool track from an album by Icarus, a jungle project by the guys who later on became Springheel Jack. That album 'Kamikaze' is very cool and loose and really worth checking out. On to the coolness of 4Hero's R&S side project Jacob's Optical Stairway, one of the best jungle albums out there, but Boymerang's Balance of the Force is even better and probably my all time favorite. Boymerang went on to make lots of very good music as Bark Psychosis, but this stuff is classic in it's own right. J Majik always delivers en Your Sound is rightly considered as one of his very best tracks. T. Power made some ambitious singles and the Police State EP is one of them. Very technical stuff.
We're entering the kill zone now: Source Direct, Optical, John B.... Stone cold classics. There is also a great L Double track from a Reinforced compilation (Enforcers: Above the Law) that I kind of rediscovered while making this show and I can't stop spinning it. So funky. 
I went to the Metalheadz Sunday Sessions at Blue Note in Hoxton in the summer of 1996 and Doc Scott was there, playing stuff like this Swarm track, with Kemistry and Storm also doing cool stuff, and I remember being blown away by very large speakers in a very small basement. A totally alien experience.
To put an end to things I included a Makai track based on a sample from the Ghost in the Shell score by Kenji Kawai. A killer track, but also a reminder of the dark and stiff turn the whole tech step branch of this music was about to take, which eventually put me off jungle and on to other music. This mix is a portal to the time when this music was the future. It still sounds like it today. 

00.00 Squarepusher - Port Rhombus (1996 Warp)
02.47 Luke Vibert - Lower (2020 Hypercolour)
06.29 Icarus - Tirol op klompen (1998 Recordings of Substance)
09.25 Plug - Versatile (1995 Rising High)
12.52 Jacob’s Optical Stairway - The Naphosisous Way (1996 R&S)
15.26 Boymerang - Where It’s At (1997 Regal)
21.29 J Majik - Your Sound (1995 Metalheadz)
25.38 T. Power - Prospect for Democracy (1996 Sour)
30.32 Source Direct - Silent Witness (1996 Mo’Wax)
35.02 Optical - The Bounce (1998 31 Records)
38.46 L Double - Version (1996 Reinforced)
41.59 John B - Secrets (1997 Prototype)

De9:Closer to the Edit

748 - Richie Hawtin - DE9 Closer to the Edit (2001)

Garçon Taupe

For the last episode of this 808-month, we return to our base of operations: Amsterdam. From his roots as a bass player on the Noiserock outfit Gone Bald, till his latest involvement on Sin Hilo's EP 'Nº5': this man breaths underground. His discography includes a split LP with Legowelt(with the undeniable dancefloor splitter 'Lobo'), 'The White Spider' at our friends from Gooiland Elektro & his recent banger on Syntax Electronix called "Young World". His combination of Acid, Electro & Electronics keep you gasping for air every time and if you still need evidence for that you can check his show Fake Moments on Operator Radio right after you listened to DUSK097.


Let his music do the talking.
