💿 Lost Dubs 010 – ex per i mental (2008)

This track has been sitting on the shelf for years because it never really fit in anywhere. It has no melody, just rhythm and space. At the time I was deeply inspired by the drum programming of Sixteenarmed Jack and Krinjah — producers I respected not just for their skills, but as colleagues and friends. This was my nod to them.

Originally, this wasn’t even going to be part of my Lost Dubs series. LD010 was supposed to be a remix of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, but unlicensed vocals meant it couldn’t be released. That sent me back to the vaults, and one night after a long session out, I sat with this track again. I heard something in it that I had never noticed before — something I can’t quite explain. Talking about music is like singing about architecture, but it was there.

So here it is. ex per i mental. No melody, no polish, just an exploration of drums, patterns, and negative space.

I’m mostly sharing this here because I think people in this sub will dig it. Would love to hear what you think.

Avantgarde strikes again, this time bringing on the table two brilliant (to say the less) tracks from the up and coming italian duo Invadhertz, for their first appearance on Dabs label, after he invited them at the Trust In Jungle monthly event in label's town Rome. 

The output here goes straight to the point. No love EP shows what minimal modern tracks should have: consistency, powerful & gnarly basslines as well as a nice deep (& vocal in No Love) hooks. Whooo, we're mad for these kind of vibe here! Don't you?
