Food Prep 004: Yessi

Evoking the emotive nature and long-windedness of classical Arabic music - here’s an hour of reimagined tarab recorded live in XPizza (NYC). As if the entire hour is an extended prelude to ‘Zahrat al Mada’en’ by Fairuz, which the first song about Palestine I ever listened to.

All tracks are about Palestine/produced by Palestinians/with Palestinian singers or rappers. 

Palestine forever and ever

palestine forever

Toumba spools through a two-hour meditation on love, lament and desire with an uncompromising transmission from the heart.

Fact Mix 938: Toumba (Dec '23)

One of out six mixes from PF's three-volume tape set. All proceeds from the initial press were split between The Freedom Theater in Jenin refugee camp and a fund to safely relocate a Palestinian family, and so will the proceeds from the digital release. On December 13, 2023, The Freedom Theater (which is in the West Bank), was raided and destroyed by the IDF, and its management were detained.

All six mixes are now on Nina Protocol and a second pressing of the cassettes will be on Bandcamp soon.

Closing out the year with a podcast by Dreams. The Los Angeles native, New York based DJ and producer, is the founder of Dance Data Records & Private Selection Records and has released on various labels including Apron & Pinkman.  This set was recorded at a @lacuracrew party in Buenos Aires and took place in an abandoned train station. Dreams describes that night as ‘some raw DIY rave energy.'

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.

A Night in the Skull Discotheque [T4T015]

CCL - A Night in the Skull Discotheque

"this mix is my love letter to dubstep. i normally try to play as many different styles and genres as possible in my sets, but this time i leaned deep into the 140. over the years it's become objectively my favourite genre to dance to, and whenever i hear it on a big soundsystem i'm always surprised and delighted by the new ways i learn to move my body. there are some darker bits, dreamy moments, silly curveballs, but most importantly lots of grimy abrasive wobbles that you've probably come to associate the genre with."

Paris-born OKO DJ doesn't care about genre divisions, going from ambient to gabber to metal in the first 15 minutes of her set - which had Room 2 jumping in the early hours on the morning at Unsound 2023.

You can now experience the full ride as Unsound Podcast 101. Enjoy!

We could only ecord the mix in mono, but OKO DJ and us still felt this mix was so special that it's more about the energy than the perfect sound quality here.
