Dutch native Robert Bergman takes over the Dummy Mix for August, stringing together a varied selection of dense industrial twinged beats, glorious Italo, and swirling techno-not-techno rarities from for and wide. A lot to digest in this one — enjoy in one sitting.

DUMMY MIX 014: Robert Bergman

Special delivery from Cologne from lovely friend  Alex from Galax (@alextackenberg). The Hip Therapy connection started out at a accidental meetup in Bavaria's capital and extended to regular exchange between Cologne and Berlin where Alex and Max played together in the past.

Enjoy!

Annabel Fraser is a longtime resident on NTS radio. In her 2 hour shows, she airs the distorted and sublime, the rushing and creeping, the marching and limping.

Conor Thomas runs the label The Death Of Rave, which is part of the Boomkat universe, which he’s also part of. Many of the texts accompanying the shops selections have been written by him, finding the right tone for leftfield, industrial or any pre- or post-anything music.

Both Annabel and Conor reside in Manchester and frequently step over the border to the White Hotel in Salford.

Kinzua, Offen Music Enthusiasts, will release their second record at some point, they are based between Berlin and Leipzig. Knead the dough – Confusion is next to happiness

The Man Who Waved at Trains w/ 7LeVeL7 - 4th April 2024

SEIEN SIE POSITIV - Episoden

Across the endless canvas of still moments, velvet echoes unfold like whispered secrets beneath a twilight sky. Each fragment of sound bears the imprint of a soul: fragile, luminous, and ever-changing. Serenity lingers in the fading light as memories blur, and the language of silence smolders gently in the unspoken spaces. This is a journey through the subtle textures of being, where each breath traces the delicate balance between what is remembered and what quietly fades.

Fun Facts:
Frustration Song was composed at 19 Haldon Road, Exeter.
George wrote it after a period of frustration.
He had been in a relationship with a girlfriend who liked him to do absolutely nothing for long periods of time.
As a person who was always active, he found this very difficult.
It is written on the lyric sheet "A song for" and then the name of the girlfriend.
This was the most reggae song he had ever written up to this point.
The bassline was the creation of Jerry from Rough Terrain.
One of the voices was recorded with the tape slowed down to give the voice a different sound.
The distorted lead guitar is plugged directly into the portastudio. rather than using a mic and a guitar amplifier, to give it that distinct tone.
