Oh yes. Turning things up to gas mark 8 here.

superb mix, expertly crafted. the deeper side of dub.....😍

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

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.

Ohm Series With TM Shuffle

Alastair is the man behind Lempuyang, a UK-based label established in 2021 and deeply focused on dub techno sounds.

Among other artists, Ranges co-founder Roberto aka Hydergine first made an appearance on LPY-03, as part of a split release with Steve O'Sullivan under his Bluetrain alias. Hydergine is due to feature again this November on lempuyang's 3rd year anniversary compilation, alongside some seriously heavyweight names in the deep/dub techno realm. 

Lempuyang and Ranges labels are quite related in their sound palette. Testament to Roberto & Alastair's shared tastes, no less than 11 different artists have released material through both Ranges & Lempuyang.

It’s really such a pleasure to present my next special guest on my MLD Channel: Eric Fenessy a.k.a. Lava Brain from Melbourne/AUS. @lava-brain

We already had the opportunity to cooperate some months ago and during our conversations via mail I appreciated his thoughts and values about therapeutic effects of arts and music, something I could relate immediately. Thanks so much, Eric, you followed my invite to contribute with a guest mix for MLD!
Much Heavy Weight and experimental foot work inside, but also so much mindfulness for details in the frame of the love for Dub related bass music! An original MLD style -no-business-as-usual-Mix, I would say! 😊🙏
Some more words about Eric’s work as Lava Brain:
“Lava Brain (he/him) is the multidisciplinary creative project of Naarm-based (Melbourne) artist Eric Fenessy.
Eric’s practice works across sound & visual installation/projection mapping, music & video production, DJing & radio broadcast, photography, graphic design & animation, sculpture & space curation. 

His work explores themes of fluidity, connection & self-exploration, encouraging the experiencer to look inward, outward & upward, creating space for expansive thought. 

Eric is a community & mental health advocate; believing in the intrinsic power of intentional art & music to connect people, in order to create positive change in the world.”

Infos about his artistic work: https://www.lavabrain.com/

Some months ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to link up with him in an episode in his monthly radio show 'Triple Vision' on @area3000 Radio.
You can find the link to listen back the radio episode and also an interview what I gave to him here: https://www.lavabrain.com/music-words/triple-vision-sai-berlin
