Many years thinking to do this dj mix, finally the time has come! 
Maximum respect and thanks to these two CREATORS and PIONEERS of techno. 
They built bridges between Germany and Detroit-Chicago-Jamaica, and the result is a new genre called DUB TECHNO. 
Enjoy the 2h 30 min journey through RHYTHM AND SOUND and BASIC CHANNEL sounds fellows!

Just a quick jam messing around in VCV Rack while at work, texting out some virtual modules before trying the hardware ones.  Might have to expand on this setup.

4 Pianos in VCV Rack stretched and morphed by some effects and granular processing, then loaded into Ableton for a little more tweaking and smoothing out with EQ and compression.

As I often play these records alongside newer releases, I realized most of those classics were more than 25 years old, I thought of compiling them together to show where dub tech comes from and how timeless most of these tracks are...Take a record like Round Four, discovered for a lot of people like me on Daniel Bell's mix (2000) The button down mind of Daniel Bell. More than 25 years onwards, you can look at a record like this, alongside Baby Ford and early Ricardo Villalobos as the blueprint for modern minimal and dubby electronic music, but that would imply that those genres later improved upon the overall formula. In reality, few got even close to as good as this. The origins of a genre is often more important than newer releases.  ''If you do not know where you come from, then you don't know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you're going...''  (Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight)
