Must be listened with headphones or through proper speakers, because otherwise a lot of basses and quality sound is lost.

This remix for Pure's No End Of Vinyl album was pivotal in the beginning of the Labyrinth sessions.I always considered it a key track but somehow it was overtaken by other pieces that made more fundamental sense to the project.Still love it though and was chuffed to be a part of Pure's incredible album.The original album The End Of Vinyl came out on Mego in 1999 and this remix album featuring Christoph De Babalon, Pita, Rashad Becker, Goner, Arturas Bumšteinas , Current 909 & others was issued in 2013 on Crónica.The recording of Miyamizu was also the absolute signal for the beginning of The Labyrinth Of The Straight Line.It certainly served it's purpose and put me on the right track.Thank you Peter Pure.

"Miyamizu - Heavenly Water

Water is the main ingredient in all sake but it usually gets the least attention. Despite this, water is important and does play a huge role in the quality of sake. The story that is told to demonstrate this fact is told so often that it has become like a legend.

Back near the end of the Edo period, 1840, Yamamura Tazaemon owned two breweries. One in Nishinomiya and the other in Uozaki. Tazaemon-san noticed that the sake made at Nishinomiya was always better than that made at Uosaki.

Tazaemon-san struggled to figure out why the sake at Nishinomiya was in fact better. He ensured that they used the same rice, milled to the same level, the same conditions and equipment; nothing helped the Uozaki brewery to produce sake that was as good as that of Nishinomiya. Tazaemon-san even switched the brew masters but not even this helped. One day, Tazaemon-san, had the water used at Nishinomiya shipped to his Uozaki brewery. Sake was brewed using this water and it was as good as the sake made at Nishinomiya. Tazaemon-san had solved the mystery, it was the water!

Those in the Nada region would say that it is a hard water that matches the heavenly water, miyamizu. Mineral rich waters produce sakes with quick strong fermentations and are strongly flavoured with full bodies."

Mumdance b2b Stingray - 25th July 2017

"Cells repeat the process of degeneration and regeneration…
All things change in a dynamic environment"
(Ghost in the Shell)

Bloody hell, I tinkered endlessly with this mix - mainly because it was getting harder and harder to be subjective (as I got more involved in my own productions and label that year) but there're quite a few interesting notes to be made.

Influential labels like PCP were starting to fade. Dance Ecstasy, who in their heyday back in '95 put out a staggering 20 or so releases that year, slowed down to only 6 in '97 (and then one final 12" in '98). Lost/Cold Rush put out their last release (included here) and Kotzaak only two. Sounds Never Seen also put out their last 12" (not sure if that 7" two years later really counts? hmmm) and even the momentum of Nu Black/No U-Turn/Techstep faltered as Ed Rush defected, hooked up with Optical, switched up his sound to 'Neurofunk' and went down the wormhole before the year was out (their first 12" coming out on Planet V). But Panacea was waiting in the wings and 'Shrillstep' was already mashing it down on the Hekate sound system; that and broken beat industrial/techno was the name of the game that year (with impressive runs of releases on the likes of Laurent Ho's Uncivilized World label etc). 

CF in his Praxis Newsletter 12 (Aug 1997) talked about a "new era of nuclear fission of previously seperate or even opposed 'genres'…the impure…combining elements [to make] something heterogenous and new, an attack on the petrified and poor values of the past." 

It certainly felt like that at the time!

I'll stick my hand up and admit my most glaring omission: French speedcore (but no need to mention DHR heh). I didn't collect so much of it at the time - it wasn't really my cup-of-tea anyway, but there was big momentum and development there in '97 - Dead End etc, new labels like Widerstand and old hands like Fischkopf holding it down, with Hangars Liquides just about to burst onto the scene the following year.

Not sure it'll be feasible to do a '98 mix? The diaspora is possibly too great by then and tastes too diffuse? Any suggestions/lists let me know and maybe we can blather about it like true trainspotters. Enjoy!
