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!

Moritz Von Oswald & Mark Ernestus Tribute

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)

Few notes: Sanasol is Yagya (Aðalsteinn Guðmundsson, Thorhallur Skulason aka Thor), Aliens don't boogie was famously used on Richie Hawtin's Deck, efx & 909 in 1999, Parallel 9 is Steve Rachmad famous Dutch electronic musician aka Sterac, Infiniti is Juan Atkins both he and Moritz von Oswald aka Maurizio remixed each other and collaborated many times in the last 30 years. Vainqueur is René Löwe famous from the Chain Reaction label. The B.C. track isn't Basic channel but a moniker which consists of Robert Leiner (Visions of the past) and Cisco Ferreira (The Advent). G-Man, whose productions were way ahead of its time on Force inc is Gez Varley from L.F.O. one half of it (other was Mark Bell), Quadrant is another moniker used by Basic channel, the EP was released in 1993 on R&S records the legendary Belgium label, and later repressed on Carl Craig's Planet E.

The Origins Of Dub Techno

Lo-fi beat with some granular and other effects on parts of the track, but this is an arrangement of loops and a simple baseline that is unquantized.

First arrangement of an idea I had over the weekend. I have not tweaked the EQ, etc, on the individual tracks.   Comments appreciated.
