Musically speaking, dub techno has a haunting, haunted, tripped out site of memorial exploration where everything sounds half-remembered, half-there and half-real. The genre is akin to ambient music, in that music of both genres acts as background music on purpose. The best tracks in the dub techno genre do what little it does amazingly, in that every element in the mix is given breathing space and, accordingly, takes on a sense of the organic.

Botanic Podcast - 020 - Olga Korol

Out of Detroit, Techno and then New Beat in Belgium and just before Trance, there was a very hedonist and pure european rave culture. The breakbeats (early hardcore) were also played at Rave parties were in between 1988 - 1995 and raves back then often had 4-5 rooms with very eclectic music that ranged from acid house to trance, techno, house, breaks and ambient. By 1995, Oldschool Raves ended and movies like Trainspotting were released. Raves combined New Beat, Acid House and early Techno like the seminal track Q from Mental cube (aka FSOL). Old school raves will never die! #breakbeats #Rave #Earlytechno #acidhouse #techno #trance #ambient #ecstacy

Mental Cube 1988-1995

As I often play these records alongside newer releases, I realized most of those classics were more than 25 years old, I thought of compiling them together to show where dub tech comes from and how timeless most of these tracks are...Take a record like Round Four, discovered for a lot of people like me on Daniel Bell's mix (2000) The button down mind of Daniel Bell. More than 25 years onwards, you can look at a record like this, alongside Baby Ford and early Ricardo Villalobos as the blueprint for modern minimal and dubby electronic music, but that would imply that those genres later improved upon the overall formula. In reality, few got even close to as good as this. The origins of a genre is often more important than newer releases.  ''If you do not know where you come from, then you don't know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you're going...''  (Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight)
