Great back to back to back DJ session on the @dubsmugglers soundsystem at this year's @dimensionsfestival in Croatia, alongside @floatingpoints, Tom Smith from the ace Cosmic Slop night in Leeds, ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/211633616863/ ) all held together by the mighty MC Kwasi. We all played vinyl, one or two tunes each for most of the session, with a slightly longer set each towards the end.

Massive thanks to everyone involved!

About the cd:
A superb surprise episode for 041 in the series. Massive thanks to Nick Sneddon for sending over some epic CDs recently. We are really happy to feature more downtempo CDs... it feels like the recovery soundtrack to countless nights clubbing and those sun kissed days that followed (well maybe not so much if you grew up in the UK).

Considering this came out in 1996, it features some simply gorgeous deep house and laid back electronic which go onto cement why DJ Harvey is a cult dj amongst fans and fellow spinners. It's a pleasure not just remember my own collection, but have other people send in theirs. And it's even better discovering that there's hundreds of other classics out there which need to be shared with everyone. Thanks again for the good vibes.

Here we go with another installment of my brother Colin Dale's infamous "Abstract Dance" Radio Show on London's KISS FM.
On thiz show, Colin features Detroit's Theo Parrish fresh from thee airport with jet lag & still rockin' it like only he can. 
Also a nice interview with Theo. I like what Theo says about the beats on Techno slowed down & having more room for the frequencies to spread, giving that kick that nice punch. For those who know me well & ever heard my past live techno set's in clubs & radio shows... I agree with Theo 100 %!! I have been doing the same right from the beginning & when I make muzik.
Anyhow, thiz iz a keeper!! Get your download & hit that follow button so you won't be left out in the future.

Solid Steel (31st October) We're delighted to welcome Danilo Plessow aka Motor City Drum Ensemble in Hour 1 this week. His productions have appeared many times on Solid Steel over the years, (including his previous project Inverse Cinematics) and his DJ sets are always well received. For this mix it's straight in with a quality soul and disco selection, before moving into house from the deeper end of the spectrum. No track list available, so definitely one for the diggers and this is what he said;

"Heres a little mix i did for Ninja Tune`s Solid Steel radio show. Recorded at my house in Amsterdam on the DJR400, 100% original vinyl, one take. Hope u enjoy.
Danilo / MCDE"

This live DJ mix is called “Spirit of Dub”, it's something I did for Dommune in Tokyo about a month ago while I was in Japan. This particular piece could have just as easily been titled “Connect The Dots”, as it goes the gamut from vintage Reggae Dub to Dance Hall, some Digidub then turns into mad Jungle beats , Drum&Bass and of course a good dose of some of my current trippy Dubstep faves. In my mind at least, it really helps bring a certain vibe into focus, not that I made any attempts to pick super-obscure choons that only trainspotters would know. Rather it was more about feeling that energy when all of these different tracks - many of my faves -  get mixed together live as they are here. 

There is no question that ‘bass culture’ has always had a profound influence on my approach to sound. But especially as of late, and in the context of Deep Space’s dubby agenda it’s become apparent that beyond fleeting trends I remain utterly attracted by this energy, completely drawn and fascinated by what it represents. 

For whatever reason I have recently been getting back to lots of Junglist tunes, probably due to how timely I felt the “Special Request” album was when it came out a year ago, and how it managed to reawaken this fascination with all of the futuristic mad drum programming some of these records were famous for.

Listening back to the mix, I can’t help but get the sense that a lot of what attracts me in all of this is that it feels as if it has such a direct connection to a strong Sci-Fi and Cyberpunk aesthetic, including a rather rebellious ‘take-no-prisoners’ attitude which is quite endearing and allows the listener to get ‘lost in the bass’. 

 In the end, it’s really all about how you feel when you play the stuff, and this one left no doubt in my mind. It also felt like a perfect way to conclude an amazing year, and set the stage for what’s to come in the next one in a way some might not expect in the least.
