This week on our way to Ozora we’ll be guided by Michael Hodgson, the ‘dark dub-meister’ of PITCH BLACK and MISLED CONVOY who you can catch this summer both at The Dome (as M.C.) and the Dragon Nest (as P.B.).

MISLED CONVOY Excursions into electronica, noise, dub and beyond
In 2015 Dub Mission released Michael Hodgson’s debut studio album as Misled Convoy, ‘Tickling the Dragon’s Tail’. Michael is a prolific music producer who under various band names including Tinnitus, The Projector Mix and Pitch Black.

In 2016 he follows up ‘Tickling the Dragon’s Tail’ with a new release entitled ‘Translations’, a selection of remixes he has created under his artist name Misled Convoy in the last four years.

The acts he has worked with are drawn from a wide geographical and musical net: Feral Five an East London duo, raised by wolves on a diet of punk rock, disco and roots to form biting lyrics and dark pulsing beats, Holotronica which is the solo project of Stuart from Hexstatic, a retro futuristic syneasthetic trip; hailing from Tokyo, Super Cozi, one half of Zen Lemonade known for it’s Psychedelic & Progressive Trance; The Adults, a New Zealand rock supergroup set up by Shihad’s Jon Toogood with the haunting voice of Ladi 6; Flies + Flies, an up and coming London band described as “suffocating, disquieting and claustrophobic – yet, somehow, completely irresistible”; Animat, Down tempo dubby electronica duo from Sheffield; and finally Banco de Gaia, one of the worlds leading exponents of globally inspired eclectic electronica.

As you might then expect, the collection ‘Translations’, traverses a huge variety of genres, from electro house to dub techno, industrial ambience to broken beats all now awash in a sea of dub effects, delay and reverb in Hodgson’s distinctive style.

“I really love taking other peoples melodies and ideas and working them into completely new tracks with my production process. Because there is already a body of work and the idea then, is not in the original concept or origination, but in the how I re-imagine that track into a new work, a new sound, a new state.”

Some of the remixes simply re-present a new way to access and appreciate the original track, sometimes they produce completely different songs completely reimagined. Flies + Flies said the Misled Convoy remix hugely influenced how they play their original track live and Hodgson had the opportunity to hear them play his version back live on stage.
The last track on the album is a new remixed interpretation of his own original work from the album Tickling The Dragon’s Tail.
