Wave Arising (@wavearising) aka @69db aka Sebastian Vaughan has lived through many musical movements from hip hop to acid house, rave to hardcore. He began making his own as a drummer and drums remain at the heart of his weightless techno sounds all these years later. That was exemplified once more by his most recent album which is an exercise in rhythm that works equally on mind, body and soul. He has long been a part of several key techno collectives including Spiral Tribe, SP23, R-Zac and Dharma Techno and seeks to bring movement, trance and spirituality to the weightless sounds he makes and plays as Wave Arising alongside the dancer Kynsie.

This week he has put together a special live mix that has been fully improvised in the studio as opposed to a standard DJ selection. It comes ahead of his performance as 69db at Dekmantel Festival this year and is a perfect example of the intense and ritualistic music he makes: it's a tribal soundscape constructed from supple, elongated and heavy rhythms, spaced-out ambient pads and experimental dub movements that are all doused in psychedelic overtones which consumes all your focus.

69db (live) at Dekmantel Ten

"We lost Curley way too early and at a point where he was about to become very well known. He had a unique talent but the thing that got me the most was that we were walking the same musical path. We had arranged to work together in the new year but we sadly lost him on new years eve. I was very lucky to have worked with him on the Sahara technique ep and several times in the Spiral Tribe Studio 23 when we were parked up in Den Haag 1993-94. I was most influenced by a record he did with Yan from Unit Moebius on a small label called Oxalis from near Paris. The record featured a flange/chorus being fed back on itself. I was blown away and have developed this sound ever since. You will hear it on this mix. I dedicate this mix to my fallen brother who i will carry in my heart forever and who I always think of before I start an improvisation !!!

Anyone who hears his music and and mine will understand why we are musical brothers."

Sound Metaphors Mix Series 32 : 69db (Hommage to Curley)

"Si l'on s'aperçoit que l'adversaire est supérieur et que l'on ne va pas gagner, il faut tenir des propos désobligeants, blessants et grossiers. Être désobligeant consiste à quitter l'objet de la querelle (puisqu'on a perdu la partie) pour passer à l'adversaire, et à l'attaquer d'une manière ou d'une autre dans ce qu'il est ; ad personam. Mais quand on passe aux attaques personnelles, on délaisse complètement l'objet, et l'on dirige ses attaques sur la personne de l'adversaire. On devient donc vexant, méchant, blessant, grossier. C'est un appel des facultés de l'esprit à celles du corps ou à l'animalité. Le stratagème est très apprécié, car chacun est capable de l'appliquer ; il est donc souvent utilisé.

La question est de savoir maintenant quelle parade utiliser. Car si l'on procède de la même façon, on débouche sur une bagarre, un duel ou un procès en diffamation.

Ce serait une grave erreur de penser qu'il suffit de ne pas être soi-même désobligeant. Car en démontrant tranquillement à quelqu'un qu'il a tort, et que par voie de conséquence, il juge et pense de travers — ce qui est le cas dans toute victoire dialectique — on l'ulcère encore plus que par des paroles grossières et blessantes. Pourquoi ?"........
Schopenhauer.
