dubby

One More Minute

Bypass is a montage of journeys, a series of passing sounds representing the "in-between" and being in the middle of sonic passages. The compositions in the release are created entirely from live recorded and processed audio loops made with electronic instruments, namely the Casio SA-3 keyboard. The looping technique applied during the recording is based on tape looping techniques developed by Brian Eno and Robert Fripp.

In Bypass, loops are processed and refined in real-time during the recording. Audio processing is an integral part of the improvisation and a factor that dictates the direction of the passages heard on the album. Each composition is founded on a singular live performance that is later arranged as a composition by layering segments from the overall recording. The sonic content folds over itself and forms a soundscape that bends the linearity of the performance.

The recording performances are spontaneous and improvised journeys, with the creation process evolving throughout the making. The exploratory approach entailed unpredictability and surprising timbral events. Each track offers something unique, with moods and soundscapes revealed only during the performance and arrangement. In other words, nothing on the album was predetermined or premeditated.

A1. Better Way
A2. Better Version
B1. Child Was I
B2. Child Version

Samuel van Dijk (VC-118A) and Rasmus Hedlund return for a third plate in their ongoing exploration of roots-minded dub techno with Jamaica-born, Finland-based vocalist Benji. 

The vocals set the tone on both these new tracks, as Benji meditates on internal and external forces with his own brand of old-soul wisdom. Better Way is an upfront steppa reflecting on the need for new solutions to solve humanity enduring problems, while Child Was I travels deeper inwards to highlight the importance of lived experience in shaping the inner self as we grow. 

Alongside the vocal versions, Dialog offer up the instrumental versions of the tracks for the full dubwise listening experience, letting every melancholic synth lick and echo chamber drum trail shine through as their project continues to forge its own path in the dub techno tradition.

DOT 3

Dialog - DOT 3 (feat. Benji) - DOT003

"An absolute piece of craftsmanship. It demands full attention, packed with intricate details and brilliant electronic experimentation. A long and fully developed journey. A delight from start to finish. We wish you lucid dreams."

Set recorded in Espacio Perpendicular (@espacio-perpendicular), during Lucid Dreams on October 4th.

Samuel van Dijk is a Dutch electronic music producer and DJ who explores contrasts in his music, blending genres like electro, techno, dub, and ambient. Under his aliases - VC-118A, Mohlao (@mohlao), and Multicast Dynamics (@multicastdynamics) -he creates immersive soundscapes that move from outer space to oceanic depths. His modular approach to live performances allows him to shift from energetic breakbeats to abstract, textured soundscapes. With releases on respected labels such as Delsin and Frustrated Funk, van Dijk's work is known for its melancholic moods and deeply absorbing grooves, whether in clubs or experimental settings. His sets range from gritty techno and futuristic electro to atmospheric ambient, always delivering emotionally rich experiences.

..A lucid dream is a dream in which a person becomes aware that he or she is dreaming and it becomes quite different from an ordinary dream.  For one thing It can be strikingly realistic to the point of producing a convincing replica of the normal physical world and for another it has its own psychological characteristics and range of emotional reactions which have to be considered independently of these experienced in normal dreaming..."

In the late 1960s, psychologists Celia Green and Charles McCreery published Lucid Dreams, a study exploring the paradox of consciousness during sleep, describing the possibility of conscious perception in dreams, often involving out-of-body experiences and hallucinations. Later, in the mid-90s, the UK ambient label EM:T released a minimalist ambient masterpiece titled Lucid Dreams, featuring texts and narration by Celia Green. Thanks to Astral Industries, this forgotten gem was reissued on vinyl a few years ago, in a deluxe edition with illustrations by the renowned Theo Ellsworth.

Several lucid dream sessions have been held by candlelight, featuring guests such as Ario, Camu, Coeval, Doozer, F-on, JL Maire, Urtzi, Patrick Russell, Vicki Siolos, SUNA, and most recently, Multicast Dynamics.

Wisdom Teeth presents Dialog - 29 December 2024

"Floating in an astral haze, where echoes dissolve and reappear - soft fractures of time bending into light. Melodies weave like distant tides, shifting without urgency, carrying you through unseen corridors. No gravity, no pulse, just the gentle drift of sound folding into silence, then back again."

Jay Keegan (@jaykeegan) is a passionate music lover, collector, and DJ living on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney). He curates The Observatory (@thetheobservatory), a mix series exploring ambient and experimental music.

In an intricate lattice of ever-evolving electro exploration, Samuel Van Dijk (@mohlao) is back on Delsin with a new EP. Under his VC-118A alias, the Helsinki based producer presents a richly textured, cinematic strain of machine funk that reaches beyond dancefloor functionality to test the expressive potential locked within electro's crisp rhythmic framework.

There's a melancholic mood hovering over Avian as Van Dijk allows a subtle edge of distortion to creep into his flickering drum programming. The end result is a pensive sound that touches on the moodiness of orchestral composition, unfurling patiently across extended run times without losing focus. With his characteristic attention to detail and broad dynamic range, Van Dijk continues to offer up a sophisticated, emotionally-charged strain of electro like no other.

Korg Minilogue - Test chords

1. Hurting from the Lack of Bass
A completely new track from Andreas Tilliander. or is it? Anyone with an explanation wins. What we know is that it goes down with a dub and a true track.

2. She Don't Cry (Minilogue's Inca in the Cloud Mix)
Electronic superstars Minilogue, here in a splendid deep house, dub techno remix.

3. She Don't Cry (Minilogue's Leftover Loop)
There is nothing left over with this remix. It is meant for the leftovers of the table, for the late hours. Cocoon’s Minilogue goes deep down with this remix.

4. Stay Down (The Field Remix)
The Field is one of the big stars on renowned German label Kompakt. He chops it up and delivers a brilliant remix to make you contemplate.

5. Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Mikael Stavöstrand Remix)
With over fifty releases and appearances on both Fabric mixes and mixes by Get Physical's MANDY, Mikael Stavöstrand has become one of the most important names in the world of deep, minimal techno. He is frequently traveling the world playing at the biggest clubs and festivals. In this remix he is in a slight jolly mood. Nice to see you smile!

6. Arlanda (feat. Jocke Berg) (Familjen Remix)
Familjen, one of the super stars on the Swedish electronic scene, made a name for himself even abroad with the monster hit “Det snurrar i min skalle”, a few years ago. Here he puts another of the super stars in Sweden, Jocke Berg from the band kent, in a really flourishing 90’s euro sound. A really Detroit-like playful and really simple version for the floor.

7. Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Boeoes Kaelstigen’s Flars Remix)
Upcoming stars Boeoes Kaelstigen are masters of production that makes you think of futuristic mind travelling and aerodynamic. Look out for their debut album in 2010. And who is Flars? Flars - born in 1977. Real name Fredrik. Livs in Rotebro. Belongs to "Trinity Sound System". Once called Flash. Absolutely fantastic DJ. Short unpolished hair cut and best dressed in hip-hop uniform. Seems to like green and does have a telephone nr.

8. Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Pellarin’s Ritz Mix)
Pellarin used to be in charge of the machines and production in Danish band Printer. He stayed up one night, drank some of his beloved whiskey and came up with this smoothly ticking remix. Like a line on a piece of paper. Elegant and oh so beautiful.

9. Caught in a Riot (Karachi Reduction)
Adam Lundberg commutes to Berlin and the grayness in his music makes us dwell over ramshackle squat houses and dripping water. His take is epic, atmospheric and oh so beautiful in all its darkness. In over 16 minutes he digs down into a deep deep cave, so still you can see the scents.

10. Caught in a Riot (Per Hammar Remix)
Per Hammar is a rising star. Don’t be surprised to find him on the bill wherever you are. He is a master of techy almost progressive smooth dance euphoria. This instrumental take of Caught in a Riot makes us think of open seas and night dancing on white beaches.

11. Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Staffan Lindberg Remix)
Staffan isn’t just Malmö’s sluttiest DJ; he is a hell of a producer as well. This take is in our face, on the floor, through the ceiling. You have seen him sharing stage with names like Boys Noize and Crookers, this is already a fidget house classic.

12. Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Triobelisk Remix)
Triobelisk goes to Norway for inspiration for this space disco remix. There among the fjords he transcendent to outer space and comes back with a peak dance floor swinger.

13. Arlanda (feat. Jocke Berg) (Urban Electro Squad Remix)
Johan Antoni has created music for crate diggers for a while now. This remix could be electro if it wasn’t so slow and crawling. A reptile like remix with Jocke Berg from kent on vocals.

14. Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Houseclap Remix)
Houseclap is an extension of Swedish house collective Spånka NKPG. As we know Spånka NKPG they have always danced around in the neighborhoods of electronica, jazz-house and filter disco, this is no exception. Except that it is really meant for the floor. So put your hand up, and swing!

15. Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Tomi Kiiosk Remiksi)
The likewise crazy as genius Finn Tomi Kiiosk cuts the original in pieces and clamps them back together in big chunky beats. Completely analogue and brilliant, he will make you dance your way into your worst Koskenkorva experience.

16. Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Kite Remix)
Kite is Christian Berg (Yvonne, Strip Music) and Nicklas Stenemo (The Moe, Melody Club). Together they make new wave/synth pop in their own special way. They turn “Caught in a Riot” to a duet and bring in something that sounds like a children’s choir.

17. Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Data80 Remix)
Swedish electronic producer Håkan Lidbo, has among many things remixed Depeche Mode with great success. He goes under many names. His moniker Data80 can be found on many compilations, among them some from French babies Institubes. Håkan nourish the 80’s in this blipping poppy bon-bon remix.

18. Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Vapnet Remix)
Vapnet may be Sweden’s best pop band and this is the sweetest treatment of an electronic track you might ever hear. Vapnet takes a look at the song and realizes that it might as well be an English version of one of their own folk pop tracks and make sure that we hear it as they do. Flutes, xylophones and a tossing beat. Listen and smile. For the indie pop dance floor.

19. Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Kaman Leung Fittsforfight Petraholic Version)
Kaman Leung is the saga of one of the world's most beloved Swedish/Chinese hip hop producers now exiled in Norway. In an attempt to protect the music he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Kaman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space.

20. Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Slyboots Remix)
Slyboots emerged a few years ago with incalculable grooves and absolute rhythm feeling, a successful symbiosis between 'brand new' and 'retro'. This remix is built around futuristic rhythms and the song’s melody structure. Trip hop electronica with 70's-sounds and easy listening attitude.

21. Medication (MKMN99 Remix)
A remix of a recreation. This is meta post music from deeeep down south. This is the deepest you can go down the dub step caves.
