livwutang - BFC ADE 2024: Trouble² at Tilla Tec

The third offering in our mix series is a live recording of Priori and Cousin's dj set at Sustain Release 2024. Recorded on the last morning between 6am and 1pm on what was meant to be an ambient stage, it featured everything a 3 day festival closing set should. Eclectic picks, strange and emotional sounds, dubious transitions and a few feigned endings. Massive thanks to all the dancers, the Sustain staff (Aurora, Ash and everybody else who put their blood, sweat and tears into this), the music makers, the birds, the stars. 

Much love,

P & C

Command D summons the gods of the deep to have us completely submerged in a world of interdimensional dub techno, traversing us through an hour and a half of infinitely looped reflections and subaquatic soundscapes. 

@commandd

Q. This certainly feels like one of your most immersive mixes to date, deeply contemplative and full of dreamy dub techno atmospherics. What inspiration did you draw upon, and what type of setting or situation could you imagine it being enjoyed in? 

A. I started to get into this sound when I was putting together my mix for the Moonshoe mix series. I didn’t know what to call it at the time but I found all of those tunes and tied them together with a certain feeling that was really inspiring me then, it was very organic and that is still one of my favourite mixes. You can hear dub elements scattered throughout that whole mix.

As I started incorporating more dub elements into my productions I discovered artists like Stephen Hitchell and Rhythm & Sound that had created a kind of music that was really extremely satisfying for me to listen to, especially considering my developing love for hi-fi and larger sound systems. I incorporated those artists into my FHUO mix which was a much more considered exploration of the style. Looking back on the process of making the mixes and how much I enjoyed them really assures me that the deep and contemplative sound is a big part of who I am.

For this mix I’ve taken inspiration from the MDC series itself which I’ve been listening to for years. I wanted to add little hints of deep house sounds as a nod to the mixes of the past. I personally think mixes like this are the best to listen to when you’re travelling and looking out a window, otherwise maybe sitting at a desk on a rainy day doing some work. I’d like people to listen to this in a time where they won't be distracted by something else or feel the need to skip forward, I’d want people to just throw it on and let it play, drifting in and out of the tracks and their own thoughts.

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that are especially close to your heart, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. My favourite tracks in the mix are Saftig Komposition by Rasmus Hedlund and Sedlec Ossuary by Persuasion. At a base level I love these tracks because they take a more modern approach to a dub techno track with tight production. Going deeper, the thing that really resonates with me is hard to put into words and best left unsaid. I think this kind of music (along with many other kinds) allows the listener to feel emotions that aren't able to be put into words, part of why I love it so much. I find that dub techno specifically can feel sad and happy at the same time like lots of jazz ballads. That to me is a really beautiful sound that kind of encapsulates life in general.

Q. Tell us about the development of your live set, and where things are currently at with it? Do you feel like you’re able to explore different shades of your sound when playing in a live setting?

A. Putting together my first live set was an awesome experience. I got to play it all around Australia from clubs to rainforests. I’ve put the current live set to bed for now and am starting to work on a new one with a slightly different setup. Although it was a challenging experience, I loved making a live set because often when I would dig for tunes to play out I’d think ‘I wish I had a song like this’ and writing a live set meant that I could bring those ideas to life and curate a set exactly how I wanted. I think I’m really starting to settle into ‘my sound’ in production and DJing, but there are creative limitations in both like finding new music or learning new skills. Overcoming technical barriers in production allows me to get closer to my most true form of expression when it comes to what’s coming out the speakers so I’ve been really working on that recently. Hoping the next live set will be bigger and better : )

Nice Music 001 – Sunny Crypt

In the first in a new mix + interview series delving into the minds behind the labels we love, we dive deep into the fantastical world of Gabriele and Paolo, the duo behind esoteric label Sunny Crypt.

"Being very honest, not every release has a charming story about being an exotic find or hearing it somewhere on a special occasion. Most of the time, the whole reissue process starts late at night on the Discogs explore page, with a difficult-to-explain feeling in the gut... There’s always a mixture of different feelings that come with sliding into someone’s life and asking about a record they made 30-something years ago."

the 11th entry in our series come from a dear friend and label regular, Toronto based musician and DJ - @ciel_dj

Words from the artist :

"little sounds in huge expansive spaces"

This mix was my musical extrapolation of this quote. As I put together the tracks in the mix, the idea of small sounds in big spaces became more metaphysical, as a metaphor for memory and nostalgia. Small, seemingly insignificant events in our past can expand in significance over time, informed by our experiences later on in life, and with our emotions acting as a tool of reverberation, extending their presence in our lives far past their time of occurrence. What begun as a process of selecting tracks that quite literally feature "small sounds in big spaces" soon morphed into a dig into my distant past, to nearly 20 years ago when I first started learning to DJ. I pulled from the mnml tracks that had an important influence on my formative years, their impact can still be heard in the contemporary tracks I play today, all of them bouncing next to each other in this nearly 2hr musical collage.

Live 001 · Daisy Moon

We’re opening our live mix series with a recording from Daisy Moon at Ormside Projects from our party with Ulo S. and Cousin over the summer - a set that showcases the full spectrum of her sonic world.

Moving fluidly through warped percussion, emotive undercurrents, and club-ready momentum, the set maps out the influences and instincts that have shaped Daisy’s sound over time.

As a window into her wonder, we asked Daisy to select three tracks from the set and share her thoughts behind them - the intentions, the feelings, the impressions.

For Daisy, this one soundtracks a long drive. What does it conjure for you?

Listen and let us know where it takes you…🫆

[PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] proudly presents its 86th release — Mountain Altai VA: Tavda Caves. Dub Techno Star Collection, Vol. 5

Night. The entrance to the Tavda Caves is veiled in smoke from campfires and stars reflected on stone. Here, for centuries, the shamans of Altai performed their rituals — beating drums, summoning the spirits of rivers and mountains. The stone halls became temples, where the echo repeated every word, turning it into an incantation. The Tavda Caves are one of the legendary places of Altai — hollow mountains that still carry the resonance of ancient voices. Hunters and shamans once lived here, nomads found shelter in the darkness, and now those who seek the earth’s energy come to listen. The stone keeps the breath of thousands of years, and if you stay still, you can hear the music of darkness and the echo of light.

This fifth chapter of Mountain Altai VA sounds like an ancient ritual, where each track is a separate spell.

::: Magik Deep (@magik_deep) — “Red Ruby”
Deep beneath the earth, a red glow awakens. The stones breathe, the crystals sing. “Red Ruby” is the heartbeat of Altai hidden in its depths — ancient, slow, eternal.

Mountain Altai VA: Tavda Caves is the fifth chapter of our Altai chronicle — where sound descends underground to hear the breath of the planet. The Tavda Caves are a place where time slows down, where drops of water become the metronome of eternity, and the stone halls carry the echoes of ancient voices. Here, light becomes sound, silence becomes space, and dub techno becomes the living echo of the mountain’s depths. This part of the collection, created in celebration of the third anniversary of [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB], continues our sonic pilgrimage through Altai — taking the listener beneath the earth, to the place where everything begins. A story about depth. About how, even under layers of stone, you can still hear the light.

Yours in sound and spirit,
The [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] Crew.
