D. Tiffany & Byron Yeates 150722

A sunset set at Waking Life, Portugal, in June 2023. I DJed after Vlada and before Anthony Naples, in front of a beautiful lake with the sun setting behind me and an incredibly wholesome, engaged, positive, locked-in crowd in front of me. Kept this one pretty measured in pace, and went for expansive, moody, euphoric, maybe also a little psychedelic in vibe, sorta imagining gazing into the deep starry abyss.

Side A: Bass is Eternal
Side B: 2-step Mutual Dream

A Night in the Skull Discotheque by the beloved underground selector CCL is the latest offering in the T4T LUV NRG label’s highly limited DJ mix series of cassettes. This immersive journey through a wonderland of proto-dubstep sounds from the late 1970s through the year 2000 is a sonic sibling to CCL’s acclaimed 2018 mix Ode to Queer Steppas.

Inspired in part by Eris Drew’s use of “old records to create new styles out of fragments” on her Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1 mixtape (T4T LUV NRG, 2019), CCL approached this recording with a parallel frame of mind. Created with 3 CDJs, one Turntable, and a Boss Digital Delay 200, the tracks included in the mix are deconstructed from their whole, and constituent parts are intertwined, sampled, and dubbed out while being further stretched beyond their physical limits. CCL mixed many tracks at the 'wrong speed', pitched beyond their original recognizable tone; others are recontextualized through imaginative layering.

With a solid nod to seminal mixtapes of the early 90s, CCL references the namesake for Side A, Bass Is Eternal, an unreleased 1992 mixtape by influential Bristolian producers Smith & Mighty, an important sonic fulcrum amongst the musical tributaries of the hardcore continuum that continues to reverberate to this day. CCL experienced the after-effects of this ‘proto’ sound genesis in 2008, while living in Bristol, by which point its emergent whispers had coalesced into what became known as dubstep. Tracing a rich history of reference through the samples, basslines, moods, and drum patterns emanating from Bass Is Eternal while looking for connections that predate it became a long-term fascination for CCL. The result is a DJ mix that connects the oft-forgotten dots between proto eras and modern developments in bass and dubstep.

For the resulting sonic ride on A Night in the Skull Discotheque, CCL leads us to a fantastical place of timeless surreality – a majestic haunted dancehall soundtracked by a giddy rush of steppers and dubbed-out delights. Subs rattle through syncopated percs, and moody synths glisten in macabre glory. Fantastical dancers wriggle in wispy eternity, liberated from their corporeal forms in all their greatest spiritual wonder. Both extravagant and dusky, A Night in the Skull Discotheque is a world of seductive in-betweens, a place caught between the moodiest depths and the highest exuberance – A love letter to one of the most impactful formative sounds of the last decades.

A sonic wormhole of a mix from our cover star @batuuk, marking 10 years of his essential @timedance imprint.

"The mix is a journey from the centre of the earth's core outwards into space. Stopping off at a space lounge before we come back to Mars to relax on deckchairs by the big Ikea."

This Set wakes you up gently and guides you to the strong positivity of dance:

Good morning tired being. 
Still lying in bed, or starting to prepare breakfast? 
These sounds will accompany you into the day, picking you up at dreamy and confused with alternative electronic sounds, inducing you with soul and the voices of Nina Simone and Nicole Willis. 1 hour in, you'll land on bouncy dub beats and you will start dancing to brazilian samba before you know. Trust me - you will be activated when the disco hits. Look out for some classics while you're grooving.

Thank you for the music, artists <3

Morning Set @Burnable Sardinia

Good Bye ´Elotrax w/ low Ki (01/12/25)

Clocking in for our last round of the year, and ready to shut 2025 off on a proper high note, here comes SPE:C, Reef and Biofield boss Darwin with two hours of hi-velocity yet cerebral material for the heads. Loaded with the steel-hard fury of future-facing techno wares and breaks-informed combinations of sci-fi atmospheres, alien emotional spaces, and impactful weight in the low end, this mix makes for a proper sendoff party to 2025 so we transition from this long-ass year into the new one with renewed energy and focus. All in on the 4x4 and adjacent pumpers, bass-heavy depth charges and zero-G, dub-leaning stunts, the former Griessmuehle resident and habituée at some of the scene's most illustrious bastions - including our friends of Berghain and Bassiani - dishes out a mind-boggling set packing not just the most massive punch but also a deadeye accuracy in her mixing technique and pristine curation, sure to please lovers of fast-paced and hedonistically havoc-wreaking blends, fully zeroed in on bringing back the true pioneering spirit of techno to the fore. RUFFFFF.
