The co-founder of Beats Of No Nation @beatsofnonationradio sits in the Electrocorp Mixtape sofa to spraed one hour of atmostpheric music selection.

A master of his ow art, Jad & The @jad-lee delivers genres bending productions and mixes for almost 10 years, and while his usual musical blends generally aim to make you dance, this new mixtape from the Australian artist follows a different path.

In these times of self exploration and home centric activities, Jad & The offers us a mix to be listened to. The selection is introduced with several downtempo tracks, that morphes into blossoming Ambient kickless sounds. The mix then sails through synthpads-driven electronic waves, chill hazy balearic house seas, to eventually strands on the infinite shores of breakbeat.

An atmospheric journey, as we said, exploring odd drum patterns and reverbing sound signals. A must listen, delivered to you by the one and only Jad & The.

Jad & The - Electrocorp Mixtape #89

Digital Rain Systems hail from Winnipeg and their music presents a perfect halfway point between the lounged-out house of Vancouver and the more ethereal beats bubbling up from Montreal. The project started as a way for Cole Woods and Jory Hasselmann, both members of the band Human Music , to explore their budding love for house, techno and ambient music. The result—simply titled "Vol 1." — sounds like a duo discovering decades' worth of electronic music all at once. They list Larry Heard, 808 State and Windham Hill Records as influences for a sound that skirts the edges of classic techno, dusty house, dub, electro and New Age music.

Those might be standard influences these days, but Digital Rain Systems put them together in a far from standard way. Woods and Hasselmann’s recording techniques stay true to their live music roots: recorded off-the-cuff in a single take straight to tape from a BOSS mixer. The songs are built around samples and fastened to heavy, bucking basslines and twinkly chords that come from their modest collection of hardware. It's a rough-and-tumble sound that recalls the early work by Canadian acts like D. Tiffany and Aquarian Foundation but is very much their own.

Take the plunge on this adventurous spread of audio. You’ll be glad you did!

Available digitally and on limited edition cassette tape August 28, 2020.
