Mixes

Earlier this year we brought you the news of an innovative new collaboration which pairs two producers with unique perspectives on sound design and music.

Prequel Tapes is best known for his noisy, disjointed approach to techno and the rougher drone inspired fringes of electronica and IDM. He has released music on the likes of Mannequin and R'COUP'D. 

Meanwhile, dBridge remains one of the most innovative figures in UK bass music culture having released cutting edge downtempo, jungle and drum 'n' bass over many decades for the likes of Creative Source, Exit Records and Metalheadz. 

Now the two have collaborated on a new EP for Midnight Shift, a record label which continues to connect generations of well versed music heads through its consistent release of high quality techno, bass and the weirder, heavier fringes of dance music. This new EP pairs two unique, creative minds. The result is a mutant hybrid showcasing the importance of collaboration and innovation. 

Following the release we asked kindly whether the pair might be up for recording a mix together, an alternative insight into their own collections and musical tapestry. The result is an old school mixtape, reel to reel vibes with integrity at its core.

"I know it sounds cliché but I just wanted it to feel like a journey. I worked really hard to try and connect the beginning to the end in a way that felt like it was building gradually, and hopefully I’ve achieved that. I quite like the idea of taking two steps forward in a mix and then one step back, I like the idea of building tension this way with soundscapes and changing tempos. It’s a nice combination of some tunes I’ve heard out this summer as well as some really eery ambient sounds I’ve been collecting :) I think in my notes for what I wanted the mix to be, I’ve written “eery vocals and lush baselines” 

Some tracks I’m really loving from it are the “Big Ever - Zoner (Zoned Mix)”, “Emkay - Drop Down” recently released on Craigie Knowes, a track from Memotones album just released on Accidental Meetings (which is beautiful), and an unreleased track from OCB (Casa Voyager) - shout out Driss for always sending me tunes and bigging me up!"

Bio:
"1020 radio and Threads resident + Club Neptune co-founder, Dj wiggles.

After quite a long time on AAJA, I’ve just joined 1020 radio with a new show every third Tuesday of the month.

As well as this, I run club neptune which is a not-for-profit party run by 5 friends. The party was born out of a joint desire to keep dance floors as safe possible, and in one of our bids to keep our events safe, our brand is off social media, and instead we promote via a small but growing WhatsApp group of friends and extended friends. We throw our parties at different unannounced venues each event, and always try and keep them to very DIY spaces. Our next event will be our 1st birthday which is coming up in December, more TBA soon.

I’m also launching a new online platform / web radio series called off limits. The station / concept will consist of bi-weekly (to start with) streams curated by me, but also via a submission system. All sets will be recorded from a DIY space in London, and my aim is to bring upcoming and established artists into the same space to create new communities and connections. I will also be working alongside promoters via collaborations, to try and bring some diversity to Londons line ups. Hopefully through this platform I can help shine the spotlight onto some of these artists and give them the chance to breakthrough into more regular gigs, and a scene which often feels, off limits. 

This is due to launch in January, and will hopefully be either monthly or bi-weekly depending on the space :)"

All colours are beautiful.
Every colour triggers different associations, emotions, memories, …
That’s why sounds like dedicates each episode to a different colour: from bright to dark, and pastel to neon. Linda and Pascal welcome you to the musical and emotional prisma that is sounds like. Let’s discuss, listen & enjoy!

Mumdance b2b Prequel Tapes - Live From Berlin - NTS Radio 05 September 2018

**We've created a place to discuss and stay up to date with Slam Radio=> bit.ly/SlamRadioGroup

Prequel Tapes is a work of deep synthesis. Fragments of melody and memory orchestrated into densely layered tapestries; a deeply emotional study on a life characterised by a shifting relationship to electronics. The pieces serve as a chronology of desire and reflection, reconciling a nascent passion for industrial music with a history in the club.

Prequel Tapes

#SlamRadio - 374 - Prequel Tapes

@prequeltapes is Marco Freivogel — a producer, DJ, and live performer who shared his story in the “Sound Mind” issue of Borshch published in 2019. On the 3rd of July, Marco’s latest album Ruin came out on Mannequin Records. In Prequel Tapes’ long-held view, “art should challenge, jar, and provoke. Offering the balance of what’s dark and disturbing to appreciate the beauty and the light.”
 
Prequel Tapes recorded his Borshch mix from his vinyl collection, with the magazine in mind all the time. For Marco, it’s connected to the feeling of the “Intrinsic” track from the new album. The mix is intense and gentle at the same time, it’s to listen to and fall into, repeat again, and discover new refinements each time.

Solid Blake with Nikki Nair - 12 February 2021

Eft sets the mood with a variety of ambient soundscapes.

Eft | Fault Radio DJ Set in Portland (February 21, 2021)

After years of producing music, it was some old DAT recordings from my youth that were to kick start Prequel Tapes. Listening to those recordings was like a flight back into the past. Understanding these recordings was to realise why I do what I am doing.
Again a circle is closing. I find it´s very enjoyable to open and close all those circles. Time is relative. 
Nothing is new, nothing is old.
