Andrea Cichecki - Dub Techno TV Podcast Series #51 [2021]
DTTV Podcast Series [DTTVPS51]

Electronic music specialist Andrea Cichecki is an artist inspired by sound. Born in the Netherlands with Polish roots, Andrea has had a lifelong fascination with emotion, human connection and how these intertwine with music and sound. Her atmospheric music can be described as a dreamful sound collage, lifting us away into a flow of emotions. The musical intent is built on a landscape that sweeps from intense joy to melancholic emotion, a cinematic journey of life and memories. Andrea’s main inspiration is the inner peace found through connection with nature. For over two decades, Andrea performed as a DJ across Europe. For seven years, she lived in Berlin where she was integral to the electronic music scene and a regular DJ playing in renowned clubs such as Club der Visionaere, Hoppetosse, Tresor and About Blank. After successful releases of her own music, she knew it was time to follow her dreams. Achieving a diploma for her studies in ‘Music Production & Sound Engineering’ at the Abbey Road Institute helped her enrich her sound, expand her creative mind and build on her professionalism.  These days Andrea is in high demand as a music producer and audio engineer: composing, mixing, mastering as well as working at Castle Studios in the countryside, just outside Dresden.

KILL THE RICH!

Also available on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWTVByZplIA

As I often play these records alongside newer releases, I realized most of those classics were more than 25 years old, I thought of compiling them together to show where dub tech comes from and how timeless most of these tracks are...Take a record like Round Four, discovered for a lot of people like me on Daniel Bell's mix (2000) The button down mind of Daniel Bell. More than 25 years onwards, you can look at a record like this, alongside Baby Ford and early Ricardo Villalobos as the blueprint for modern minimal and dubby electronic music, but that would imply that those genres later improved upon the overall formula. In reality, few got even close to as good as this. The origins of a genre is often more important than newer releases.  ''If you do not know where you come from, then you don't know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you're going...''  (Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight)

The Origins Of Dub Techno

Music for spaceports explores ethereal sounds, with a low key drone-ish approach to ambient. After assembling nearly 300 tracks, I trimmed the playlist down to 70-80 tracks with a final cut of 40 tracks in almost 3 h 00. It's music you can sleep to, work at the same time or study, with a keen emphasis on calm and soothing atmospheres & soundscapes. Carefully curated over the course of several months, I hope this mix brings you peace  adrift in Space in a state of weightlessness & mindfulness.

Music for Spaceports 006 : adrift in Space

FX-driven Jamaican soundsystems meeting the machines of techno with an abstract sound and loosely repetitive rhythms stucture, along with some usage of low end sonics - that's what dub techno is about. This music is a sonic experience far beyond the narrow pathways of techno, demonstrating that there is a universal code which connects repetitive patterns of organic sounds with club music. With a string of mind-altering atmospheres & warped basses and punchy beats to the fore, this mix is akin to an hallucinatory trip through the farthest reaches of psychedelic electronic music.

5 H 30 Dub Techno Special

Rhytm for underwater swimming

Musically speaking, deep techno is the kind of dub that's an approximate aural recreation of the effect that the music has on the brain. The result is a haunting & tripped out experience where music acts as background music on purpose. It seldom tries to adventure into new territory, because its main purpose is to be placid and deeply soothing but also moving. Its mesmerizing & minimal sounds can create a placid effect i.e. adjective of a person not easily upset or excited.

Biography:
ENERCUBE — a sonic alchemist from Siberia. Oleg Nabivachev, better known as ENERCUBE, is a sound producer and master of subtle sonic states, originally from Biryuch. His music is not just techno — it’s an inward journey. A language spoken in silence. An energetic architecture, where every chord is not an accident, but a structural element of the inner world.

ENERCUBE is the co-creator of Oldschool_Dubtechno .Producer, a project born in deep synergy with his brother, X_FR. Together, they turn sound into landscape and rhythm into space. Their music feels like Siberia itself — raw, spacious, and full of meaning. And yet, beneath its frosty surface, there’s always a quiet warmth.

His tracks reveal mathematical precision, a craftsman’s attention to detail, and a respectful dialogue with silence. ENERCUBE’s production feels like nature’s breath slowed down — translated into a form that resonates with the urban soul. It’s not music for dancefloors alone; it’s music for inner horizons. He doesn’t speak loudly — he resonates deeply. His contribution to the contemporary dub techno scene is not just influential, it’s essential. He’s not chasing noise — he’s crafting feeling. ENERCUBE is pure energy, shaped into form, sound, and meaning.

We invite you to listen to a special mix in honor of the label's third anniversary: ​​Mountain Altai Selected, Vol. 9 - mixed by ENERCUBE

Stay tuned!
