ever since listening to the thinner (ye olde netlabel) releases, dub house / dub techno was one of my favourite genres. I am still a learner, and this album (sometimes more clearly, sometimes not) shows my journey, with "reeboatgnist" being from around 2000 and "Just to quickly follow up" being one of the latest from 2018. I have been focusing on live performing and live streaming which is why there's no recent release in this album.

If you want to support me and my music, and you want to posess remastered, high quality copies of the tracks, I'm selling this Album on Bandcamp:

Blue Triangles

Just a dubtechno experiment. The voiceover is more or less a placeholder with a lot of blabbering that will hopefully replace with me having something to say soon.

Another demo arrangement of our #tagtoolmusic session with @benjaminrabe and Fabric Lenny.

Born out of some improvisation with my Korg Montron combo, an original Monotron and a Monotron Delay. The basedrum you hear (and the noisy hihat-ish sound in the background, which is just a filtered version of the original) is the filter of the Monotron self oscillating, fed through the Monotron Delay and then recorded and looped in ableton.

The grit of the Monotron Delay gives the whole thing a lot of character, quite typical for dub techno beats.

Originally the thing (as it was an LFO fed filter sweep) was straight four to the floor, but I decided that this was not what I had in mind and I built a drum rack out of different parts of the original beat filtered to the desired frequency range.

The dub techno stab is a sampled single shot played with the Monotron (also fed through the delay, which creates these weird off beat sounds) turned into a proper stab using simpler, an auto filter, a ping pong delay and a reverb (and some EQ for good measure).

The bass sound uses an Ableton Simpler with the exact same sample looped and filtered.

The synth effects are pure Monotron Delay, freely recorded and then somewhat chopped up and put into place.

Another quickie, mostly done this weekend. I made more music this week, but nothing for weeklybeats.
It started as a quick test for the excellent Multitude delay plugin (I can only recommend it so far) and turned into this rather stereotypical dub techno thing. I kinda like the vibe and although the mix is not perfect, I'm happy how this turned out after only a few hours of work.

Week #2 of Weeklybeats. A dark dub techno / acid crossover

WB1802 - Cross Over Dub

A dubtechno beat to put me back into the WeeklyBeats groove.

WB1832 - Lets not get crazy here

A followup to last weeks WeeklyBeats entry as I wasn't really happy with it and wanted to explore a couple of things a bit more.

WB1833 - Just To Quicky Follow Up

After listening to the tune again, I found it to be one of the best pieces of music I ever created - And that's why I wanted it to be on soundcloud.

I made this tune around 2000 in Heidelberg (stayed there for 6 months on an internship).

(This track is now part of my "Blue Triangles" album available on bandcamp.)
