Maintaining the decades-deep dubwise practice of conscious musical tradition and exploratory sonic futurism, Dialog return with a second drop on their DOT series of soundsystem-spirited plates. This latest EP features the return of Jamaican vocalist Daveron Dawkins, aka Benji, joined this time by his son David Dawkins, aka Josei, on an intergenerational vocal collaboration.

Dialog is a production and performance partnership between Dutch artist Samuel van Dijk, (aka VC-118A and more) and Finnish producer Rasmus Hedlund. The pair first explored overtly ambient pastures on a double-pack LP for Astral Industries in 2022, bringing a dub-informed sensibility to their richly sculpted textures, before deciding to experiment with forthright riddims while jamming in the studio in Helsinki. A friend from a neighbouring studio heard the meditative pulse they were working on and connected them with Benji, originally from Jamaica but a resident of Finland for more than 30 years. 

When he was in Jamaica, Benji’s affinity for music came second to his footballing talent, which incidentally led to him crossing paths with Bob Marley and the wider reggae community in the 70s and 80s. In recent years he and Josei had worked together intermittently on jams and tracks, but the sessions they attended with Dialog marked a new chapter as they committed their improvised, universal flows to the broad sweep of riddims laid down by van Dijk and Hedlund. 

Many tracks were recorded, setting Dialog up with Benji and Josei for a sustained project which moves beyond the cuts into the dance. The debut performances in November 2023 saw van Dijk and Hedlund manning an extensive live rig alongside Benji and Josei’s singing and toasting, appearing in prominent Helsinki club Kaiku one week and at an intimate dance on the Salamari Sound System the next. The Dialog sound has exactly the flexibility for both scenarios, forged in crisply defined production that draws on techno, electro and ambient as much as dub, but also steeped in tradition and coloured with the warmth and character of instrumentation and vintage signal processing. 

On DOT 2, we get a deeper insight into the progression of the project from the loose and flowing possibilities of the first recorded tracks through to more considered structures as the focus on Dialog’s direction sharpened in response to Benji’s inspiration. It’s a celebration of the merging of energies - the radiant glow of Benji’s Jamaican heritage colliding with the snow-capped sonics of North European techno, a living music rooted in community and collaboration but also fashioned with a modernist outlook which naturally translates to the club.

Creel Pone #8 on Montez Press Radio with Keith Fullerton Whitman and Jacob Gorchov

Recorded September 23, 2024

Creel Pone #8 on Montez Press Radio Sept. 23, 2024

For the first episode of Spectrum, her new radio show at RP and club night at Baggen, Vika took over the RP booth in the closing slot and invited berlin based sweetheart Ophélie  for the first hour. Tune in for a very sophisticated, minimalist yet details rich mix of contemporary dubstep, percussive broken beats and atmospheric techno. It's gentle, it's gloomy, and sometimes it goes angry and punchy mode - and we must say, its overall rather beautiful! Definitely a recommendation from us.

Les Chroniques De Sisyphe est un radio show centré sur le thème de l'échec. Le mythe de Sisyphe illustre parfaitement l'idée d’un échec éternel : pousser un rocher jusqu'au sommet d'une colline seulement pour le voir redescendre une fois arrivé en haut. Pour l'éternité, il est condamné à répéter cette tâche insignifiante. 
Ce mythe pourrait-il incarner la condition humaine ? Une lutte perpétuelle sans but précis ? 
Au lieu de se concentrer sur le côté désespéré de l'échec, ce radio show explore sa beauté et la manière dont il peut nous façonner. L'échec révèle notre humanité en brisant l’illusion de la perfection. Il met à nu notre vulnérabilité et nous apprend l’humilité, la résilience et la créativité. Albert Camus a proposé une vision particulièrement profonde de Sisyphe. Pour lui en acceptant l'absurdité de sa situation et en embrassant l'acte lui-même, Sisyphe trouve une forme de liberté et même un défi. Il devient un héros absurde qui trouve sa joie dans la lutte plutôt que dans un but inaccessible. Ce n’est pas l’atteinte d’un idéal qui compte mais le courage de continuer malgré tout. 
Cette émission de radio vous invite à suivre le parcours musical de Sisyphe. Qu’aurait pu écouter Sisyphe dans l’exploration de ses luttes et de ses échecs pour en découvrir la force d'avancer? 

"L'histoire d'une vie, quelle qu'elle soit, est l'histoire d'un échec." - Jean-Paul Sartre

“The Fear of the Generation” – an underground synth journey through the darkness of our time: war, despair, and a collapsing world. Yet beyond the noise and fear, a light breaks through — God as our final hope and saviour.

Fear of our Generation

Don't Make Me Cry

My Sins

.................................................................................................................................

Sounds of Stillness is On the 5th Day's podcast series dedicated to the beauty of stillness and calm, through which we can expand our consciousness and deepen our connection to the universe, and to one another.

More simply, it’s dedicated to the preciousness of hitting pause - of creating valuable time out for ourselves - and the infinite possibilities that come from doing so.

The demands of daily life and of the roles, responsibilities and labels we adopt, together with the endless stream of thoughts flowing through the mind can all too easily drown out the innate calm and tranquillity within. We can get carried away in the busyness, overwhelmed by the pressures and attached to our fears. We become our thoughts.

Yet through true stillness, we can rediscover the path to our inner sanctuary, to the secrets of the soul, to the rhythms of the universe, to our creative energy, and to our healing. We can re-connect and re-energise.

Sounds of Stillness is your vessel to this inner peace, calm and serenity, guided by sonic stories woven together just for you by a host of inspired creators from around the world.

Whether for meditation, the soundtrack to helping you unwind or for quietening the mind so you can tap into your creative flair, we hope you’ll find the series soothing, grounding and rejuvenating.

Before settling into each story, we recommend setting an intention for yourself, something like “I dedicate this time to myself and to my inner peace and calm. I let go of all the pressures and responsibilities of the day and gently focus my attention inwards.”

Then get comfortable… take a handful of slow, deep breaths and surrender to the sounds of stillness.
