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.

Johann Bello - Soul´n´Dub Guest Mix  3

The Twilight of Reason reflects the subtle violence inherent in modern life, touching on themes such as the erosion of meaning, the haunting effects of digital progress, and the fragile dreams of a species on the brink of self-destruction. This four-track EP traces a journey from abstraction to memory, from systems to the self. It communicates through dub music, characterised by echoes, decay, and absence.Each track is a fragment, a loss of soul, a glitch in time, or a displaced emotion. Collectively, they create an auditory exploration of the present: human, weighty, and unresolved.

Inzajeano - Strange Changes [Crossfade Sounds]

Vapor Loop & Mohaa-Mono Neighbours (jE jE Music Recordings)

Siberian producer and modular synth enthusiast Roman Spin @romanspin unveils his latest sonic exploration: Noise Inspiration EP — a deep and immersive journey through dub techno and ambient textures. The release opens with the title track Noise Inspiration — a raw and emotional dub techno piece built on hypnotic rhythms, swirling echoes, and deep low-end movement. Its followed by Improvisation, a stunning ambient composition filled with evolving soundscapes and atmospheric depth, showcasing Romans intuitive approach to modular synthesis and live experimentation. The EP is beautifully rounded out by three masterful remixes from dub techno heavyweights QLTURA, DeeplyBlack @deeply_black , and Radio Badjay @radiobadjay , each offering their own signature take on the originals — from deep and driving to lush and meditative. A must-listen for fans of deep dub textures, analog warmth, and modular improvisation.

berlin cocktail bar - hello strange podcast #217

Finally I created a new mix. After having troubles with my external soundcard I created this  set with the internal soundcard.  I used a old ESI Maya44 USB external soundcard but Windows 10 don't support this anymore. Unfortunally.  If you have any solutions to stay using this card let me know.

So just tried to do a alternative setting with Traktor.

Tracklist:

01. Havantepe - Sonntags Morgens
02. Narcotic 303 - Sound of Cologne
03. Zzzzra - Mecanographie 2 ( Fingers in the noise remix)
04. Brickman  - Zero Gravity
05. Sub.Made - Memories
06.Martin Schulte - Pillow(Marko Fürstenberg Remix)
07. Subset - Advanced Fizziks
08. K One & ST Sene - Fck the Hype
09. Zander One - Isolation
