Madah Sounds Present @Substak

The Fog Of Sound.
The fog clings to empty fields, enveloping the landscape in a humming silence. A lone figure roams, holding an old camera and a tape recorder. With each step, they trace the lines of a forgotten town, where crumbling walls and loose doors sway in the faintest breeze. The camera captures it all—the marks of time and decay. Each grain on the film tells a story of resilience, pressed into the shadows and dust.

As the recorder clicks on, it gathers the remaining sounds: the creak of old wood, the wind whispering through cracked windows, and the echoes of distant memories caught in the rustle of dry leaves. These are the faint rhythms of endurance, of lives once present but now hidden in the vibrations of things left behind.

When night falls, they listen back, layering the sounds into a rough, broken symphony. Each hiss and crackle, each grainy note speaks of persistence, pulsing like a heartbeat. The imperfect harmony carries a warmth that refuses to vanish, a resonance that lingers even in the cold.

Hope resides in this tapestry of sonic grain and shadowed light—not as a bright promise but as a quiet, stubborn force. It lives in the textures of analogue, in the hiss and hum that remind us there is beauty in what remains, even as the world fades.

Artist: Dubrovnik (UK) [Greyscale / OHM Series / Verdant / Mixcult / Lempuyang]

Our 10th voyage into sound is brought to you on this occasion by Chris Currie, better know as Dubrovnik (UK). The Glasgow based DJ & Producer has really been flexing his musical muscles over the last few years with his releases on Greyscale and Verdant, as well has some incredible tracks for OHM series and the mighty Lempuyang. 

His sound is hard to put into one specific box, which is always a good thing. Dubbed out house and techno, euphoric and uplifting while maintaining a level of deepness most can only aspire to. His sound has a uniqueness to it which in this current climate of saturation is the highest compliment we can pay. 

For this Frontier mix Chris has turned in a truly epic hour and 45 minute journey. He kicks  things off in the realms of deep house and heady, atmospheric dubbed out electronica. Before slowly moving through the gears into some real heads down dub techno that wouldn’t be put of place in an abandoned Berlin warehouse. He caps things off with some classy dub leaning techno cuts culminating in some straight up ravey bangers that will get your head nodding.   

We want to thank Chris for this contribution to the series, he certainly got the memo of what we asked for and has knocked it out of the park.

Artist: Star_Dub [StarDub / OHM Series / Rawax / VUO Records / spclnch]

Our 11th Expedition takes us to the sonic planet of Matthias Schildger, and specifically his Star_Dub Alias. No Stranger to the scene, Matthias has been an artist that we have been huge admirers of for many years now. His Star_Dub releases very rarely leave our bags and are a stable in our vinyl mixes, anyone who has attended our Eastern Bloc parties will attest to this. To be able to welcome him to the Frontier is a honour for us. 

Matthias is a German DJ and producer based in Offenbach and co-founder of Mainrecords. He is an incredibly versatile artist with a whole host of alias’ that showcase his breadth and depth of sound. For this particular Frontier mix we requested one in the style of Star_Dub. Through this moniker he is able to explore all things deep and dubby whether that be techno or house.

Matthias Schildger's journey began at the age of 8 in 1995 when he was recording tapes of a German radio show, Hr3 Clubnight. By the age of 12, he made his first steps into music production, using a PlayStation to experiment with sounds. 

His unconventional approach yielded promising results, prompting him to delve deeper into music production. By 2006 he had released his debut record. During that year, Matt developed his style and separated it into many different aliases under which he plays and produces, such as Binary Operator, Star_Dub, CNTRL, Polyfan Polyphenix, or his real name Matthias Schildger.
