Side A: Bass is Eternal
Side B: 2-step Mutual Dream

A Night in the Skull Discotheque by the beloved underground selector CCL is the latest offering in the T4T LUV NRG label’s highly limited DJ mix series of cassettes. This immersive journey through a wonderland of proto-dubstep sounds from the late 1970s through the year 2000 is a sonic sibling to CCL’s acclaimed 2018 mix Ode to Queer Steppas.

Inspired in part by Eris Drew’s use of “old records to create new styles out of fragments” on her Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1 mixtape (T4T LUV NRG, 2019), CCL approached this recording with a parallel frame of mind. Created with 3 CDJs, one Turntable, and a Boss Digital Delay 200, the tracks included in the mix are deconstructed from their whole, and constituent parts are intertwined, sampled, and dubbed out while being further stretched beyond their physical limits. CCL mixed many tracks at the 'wrong speed', pitched beyond their original recognizable tone; others are recontextualized through imaginative layering.

With a solid nod to seminal mixtapes of the early 90s, CCL references the namesake for Side A, Bass Is Eternal, an unreleased 1992 mixtape by influential Bristolian producers Smith & Mighty, an important sonic fulcrum amongst the musical tributaries of the hardcore continuum that continues to reverberate to this day. CCL experienced the after-effects of this ‘proto’ sound genesis in 2008, while living in Bristol, by which point its emergent whispers had coalesced into what became known as dubstep. Tracing a rich history of reference through the samples, basslines, moods, and drum patterns emanating from Bass Is Eternal while looking for connections that predate it became a long-term fascination for CCL. The result is a DJ mix that connects the oft-forgotten dots between proto eras and modern developments in bass and dubstep.

For the resulting sonic ride on A Night in the Skull Discotheque, CCL leads us to a fantastical place of timeless surreality – a majestic haunted dancehall soundtracked by a giddy rush of steppers and dubbed-out delights. Subs rattle through syncopated percs, and moody synths glisten in macabre glory. Fantastical dancers wriggle in wispy eternity, liberated from their corporeal forms in all their greatest spiritual wonder. Both extravagant and dusky, A Night in the Skull Discotheque is a world of seductive in-betweens, a place caught between the moodiest depths and the highest exuberance – A love letter to one of the most impactful formative sounds of the last decades.

Omar Peco

Inspired by the first wave of techno-house that hit Croatia in the early nineties, he started his musical journey on air of Radio Student (Zagreb) in 1998., as a host and the co-editor of the "Memezine" - an electronic radio show. At that time he became an integral part of one of the most influential clubbing projects in Croatia, "Stereo Studio", through which he gained his skills and expanded his musical views. These days he can be found in his hometown of Sisak, making sure that this small community gets their share of quality parties.
Omar spins house and techno, and he's not limited to one sub-genre. He prefers marathon sets and intimate clubs.

Cro/Hr 
Zanat je ispekao kao rezident legendarnog klupskog programa "Stereo Studio" i kao pokretač klupskih večeri "Pulse" koje više od desetljeća organizira u Sisku. Svoj stil bazira na techno/house izričaju, oslanjajući se na razvijeni senzibilitet prema kvalitetnoj glazbi. Svirkama uvijek nastoji ispričati priču koja se temelji na muzikalnosti i originalnosti. Obožava manje klubove i maratonske setove.
