thank you for posting this legendary moments! what a time to be a part of! <2

Earlier this year we brought you the news of an innovative new collaboration which pairs two producers with unique perspectives on sound design and music.

Prequel Tapes is best known for his noisy, disjointed approach to techno and the rougher drone inspired fringes of electronica and IDM. He has released music on the likes of Mannequin and R'COUP'D. 

Meanwhile, dBridge remains one of the most innovative figures in UK bass music culture having released cutting edge downtempo, jungle and drum 'n' bass over many decades for the likes of Creative Source, Exit Records and Metalheadz. 

Now the two have collaborated on a new EP for Midnight Shift, a record label which continues to connect generations of well versed music heads through its consistent release of high quality techno, bass and the weirder, heavier fringes of dance music. This new EP pairs two unique, creative minds. The result is a mutant hybrid showcasing the importance of collaboration and innovation. 

Following the release we asked kindly whether the pair might be up for recording a mix together, an alternative insight into their own collections and musical tapestry. The result is an old school mixtape, reel to reel vibes with integrity at its core.

Prequel Tapes & dBridge: The 'Monday Is Okay' Mix

Once upon a time, V.I.V.E.K Sharda was unhappy with the sound at UK nightclubs and parties—sound that he felt couldn't capture the deepest, truest vibrations of the music he wanted to play and hear—so he just made his own sound system. (Naturally, he called it System.) That should give you an idea of how seriously Sharda takes his wubs and his sub-bass, and if you have even a passing interest in UK sound system culture or dub's crossover with dance music—including, yes, dubstep—then you've probably heard of V.I.V.E.K, or at least heard one of his chest-rattling records.

Along with producers like Om Unit and Kryptic Minds—both of whom feature in the mix below—Sharda has never been one for following trends or concerned about scenes. Instead, he's fully devoted to the pulse of dub and the luxury of bassweight. He's put out slow but steady stream of ultra-heavy releases on his own labels System Music and VIVEK, and now he's on a mission to change perceptions of what 140 BPM music can sound like. That's what you'll hear on his RA Podcast, a meditative and occasionally tectonically-shifting mix that highlights dubstep, dub and its many offshoots—not just staggered drums and subterranean low-end but smooth swing and soulful melodies, too.

Your music lives on in our hearts, Christine ❤️❤️❤️

Vaccine (Christine Clements, Dec 26th 1979 - Aug 22nd 2023) was a female dubstep record producer based in California, United States. She was one of the first women signed to a dubstep related record label (Hotflush Recordings), which was up until then a genre whose producers were almost entirely male. Before she started producing, she was promoting other people's music.

Vaccine's style has been recognized as being considerably more melodic and ethereal, with XLR8R magazine noting her "subtle melodies and echoed vocals", as well as stating that "(Vaccine's) constructions aren't necessarily main floor rave fodder, but rather, comedown music for a 6 a.m. all-back-to-mine", as well as mentioning "jittery electronic elements with gothic ambient nuances."

Clements is a self-described Skinny Puppy and Portishead fan. Her influences are "Nine Inch Nails, Dom & Roland, Skinny Puppy, The Prodigy, Technical Itch, Sasha and Digweed, Future Sound of London, Akira Yamaoka, Helios, Harold Budd, Surgeon, Zero 7, Portishead, Massive Attack, Tricky, friends, lovers, label mates, colors, sounds, places, feelings."

Hailing from Boston, Alex Incyde first became involved in electronic music through his work as label manager of Scuba's Hotflush Recordings in London in 2007, where he began DJing at parties within the city's thriving dubstep scene. In 2008 he moved to New York City and became a resident of America's founding dubstep night, Dub War, alongside Dave Q, Joe Nice, and MC Juakali, where they brought dubstep legends such as Skream, Digital Mystikz, Loefah, and countless others to the US for the first time. Incyde developed a reputation for his tasteful explorations into bass music, incorporating influences from techno, dub, and hip hop. Focusing more energy on enhancing his sets, Incyde's productions were first met with support by Mary Anne Hobbs of BBC Radio 1 and Scuba. "Axis" was released on Hotflush's BACK AND 4TH compilation in April 2011, followed by the four-track "Telophase" EP on Brendon Moeller's Steadfast Records. Later that year, his rework of "Lost Highway" by Badawi (Raz Mesinai) was featured in Scuba's DJ-Kicks compilation on !K7. He spent the next ten years away from the electronic world, exploring & honing his sound on the island of Maui, and now lives outside Dallas, Texas, where he launched the imprint Incyde Sound in 2022 to release his bass-leaning musical experiments with full creative control.
