2023 II

I played a 7 hr closing set at Bassiani in Tbilisi, one of my favourite clubs in the world, perfect sound, insane lighting and an incredible location, always a highlight of my year! Here’s a few hours extract from the set recorded live that morning. Deep, groovy and hypnotic techno! 👾👾👾

I find it very interesting to observe the range of different productions that fly under the banner of Dubtechno these days...

You also find the tracklist there.)

And although I like many of these variations, from the more ambient and chord-focused interpretations to the dry, atonal and polyrhythmic percussively  focused productions, I've been getting a sense lately that something is a little wrong. By this I mean since a certain point there has been a development towards a generic sound and format that somehow seems very superficial bringing the same flat and trivial sounds thrown together and promoted as  "Dubtechno"  and to me, often it seems like fast food compared to the original models. There is even  talk of a new wave. Both the production and the way it is presented seem somehow cheap, random and arbitrary to me. Often it is difficult if not impossible to avoid being interwined with these developments if you are enthusiastic about the often amorphous genre that is now labeled Dubtechno. 

Don't get me wrong I am not saying that there is no place for this "new sound" but the more I reflect on my enthusiasm - from my first exposure to dub and its techno hybrids, through rhythm & sound and through sound system culture in the late 90s to my renewed immersion in recent years, I realize that I should use the terms Dub and Dubtechno more and more carefully - coming from a place of a certain respect and appreciation. Because often these genres, carry a lot of cultural heritage, standing for a level of quality in delivery that in reality is hard to develop, and often lost to the disposable imitation economy we are beginning to see more and more of, which only serves to dilute things to an accepted average.

To me a big slice of what is promoted as Dub or Dubtechno these days falls well short of these original benchmarks that were set a long time ago. 

Through many conversations about these topics, reflecting on different perspectives, a mix was created recently where two fellows, I can call my friends, and I combined 3 sequential sets of 7 tracks each, to rest with and pay a little respect to some of the more remote but still relatable facets of dub in different ways. It's completely natural for styles to evolve and mix. It's great  to see with how much creativity and depth some artists do this.  And that's what this mix should stand for. 
You can listen now to this wonderfull journey through these divergent realms..this is Sai - MLD in Session with DJ Sideways & Noosa Sound System.

Sai-MLD in Session with DJ Sideways & Noosa Sound System

I’m incredibly excited to present something truly rare a guest mix on my SoundCloud profile. This is a unique moment for my channel, as having anyone else featured is something I’ve rarely done, not because I didn’t want to, but because I’ve never found someone whose style truly aligned with mine.

That changed when I heard his mixes Greg Mungin (Lonerist).

Greg has an extraordinary gift for blending Dub Techno with such artistry that it feels like an extension of my own mixing and track selection style.
His approach to mixing is so seamless and captivating that it immediately struck a chord with me.

This may be a one-off guest mix, and it’s a truly special one. I’m honored to share Greg’s work with you, as it perfectly captures the essence of what my page stands for. Turn up the volume and immerse yourself in this exceptional set you won’t want to miss it.

(This mix is a heartfelt tribute to all those who lost their lives in the Lebanese war women, children, men, and all human souls. May their memory live on, and may peace prevail in their honor)

Beirut Nights: Exclusive Guest Mix by Greg Mungin (Lonerist)

Following the warm underground reception of Niki Sadeki's Blue Dream / A Sunday In August EP, released in March 2024 on Manual Deep, a remix edition felt not just natural, but necessary. Two standout artists take the originals into fresh, intriguing territory: Öona Dahl and Mila Stern.

Öona Dahl delivers a rework of Blue Dream, weaving deep textures and subtle psychedelia into a remix that feels both timeless and transportive-a true heads-down journey. Meanwhile, Mila Stern takes A Sunday In August in a bolder direction, elevating the energy with a classy melodic techno edge while still honoring the underground roots of the original.

A thoughtful and compelling reinterpretation from two visionary producers, this remix EP adds new layers to Sadeki's emotive soundscape-essential listening for discerning selectors and deep-dive listeners alike.

While I was beseeching Our Lord today...I began to think of the soul as if it were a castle made of a single diamond or of very clear crystal, in which there are many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions. — St. Teresa of Avila

This mix is inspired of Teresa of Avilas classic writing of "The Interior Castle" where she describes a vision of a luminous crystal castle composed of seven chambers, or "mansions," each representing a different stage in the development of the soul.

Quadrant Soundscape is the meeting of two minds. Tommy Harrison aka Asphalt Layer & Wilson Logan aka Scavenger. The pair have been playing together since 2014 with each one bringing their own particular sound to the project. Known best for their long running radio show Dub Explorations, the pair play some of the best in underground Dub Techno, electro, downbeat and ambient sounds. When it comes to their DJ sets you can expect them to be diving between their records, CDJ’s and Ableton, with the goal of creating an immersive deep sound, with rolling baselines and sprinklings of sci-fi ambience. Playing back to back they push each other with every record they play, with the next selection often being picked on the fly, to create some truly unique sets. Inspired by the pioneers of the past, their sound is heavily influenced by German Dub Techno, Detroit Techno and UK Bass.

Individually, Tommy produces music as Asphalt Layer. His deep, electronic and dubby sound being heard on multiple record labels worldwide. Incorporating analog machines and field recordings to generate the many noises he uses in his productions, along with that 90's Jungle influence, his sound is very recognizable.

And Wilson has begun a new alias, Scavenger, where he dives deep into the murky, experimental and dark, trippy techno world to produce very unique mixes. This alias allows Wilson to experiment more with his records and sound, often performing in a dark room on 4 decks alone.

With a rich history of playing records and putting parties on in Manchester, hosting the likes of Remco Beekwilder, Ambivalent, Radioactiveman, Detroit Techno Militia, Mark Archer, Jerome Hill, El Choop, ODrex Records and Conforce, the boys intend to keep pushing that vibe they believe in and love.
