Strategy - 11 Dec 2023

We're so happy to announce the Ground Hum Mix Series. For our initial mix, we've got a very special contribution from Ground Hum's own IVVY featuring tracks from past and future Ground Hum artists.

Typically known for visceral live techno sets, Seattle’s Madi Levine (IVVY) blends their background in jazz and electronic synthesis into hauntingly beautiful atmospheric compositions. Their ambient works are cathartic expressions of healing, navigating the past and hope for the future.

Follow IVVY: @ivvyseattle

Join us for Ground Hum on March 2, 2024.  Tickets are available now at https://groundhum.net

Arovane - skyline 
Patricia Wolf - under a glass
Lori Goldston - we miss you and wish you well

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/strategy/

American producer @strategydickow steps up to contribute the 382nd edition of the IA MIX Series delivering a stunning chill-out and downtempo podcast for expansive headphone listening.

Across a 20-plus year career, and as many releases, Paul Dickow operates at the crossroads of ambient, dub, and electronica. His most recent Strategy album, 'The Wet Room', his 20th album to date, was released in November 2023 via Community Library, the label Paul co-runs with David Chandler. It feels both timeless and of its time, fusing elements of climate anxiety with a heady aura of leftfield sonics.

Throughout his discography, Strategy has collaborated with esteemed labels including Kranky, 100% Silk, and Peak Oil, among others, as well as operating his own Community Library imprint, for an output as vast and varied as it is consistently stellar. He's as comfortable crafting hardware-focused, DIY techno as he is spinning long form experimental suites.

Strategy's mix is as wide-ranging, unpredictable, and eclectic as his music, spanning Humpbacks, Seefeel, Laurie Spiegel, and Strategy himself. It's an ideal soundtrack for expansive headphone listening or the strangest, grooviest pool party in the neighbourhood. In addition to the mix, we asked Paul all about his history, the Portland music scene, and tour memories.

When people think of Electrical Audio Recording in Chicago they usually only think of the late, great Steve Albini. But the studio is (and has been) home to a distinguished troop of engineers and operators that continue to keep the venerable institution running — including our pal Greg Norman, who’s been doing the Lord’s work over at Electrical since he LITERALLY helped lay the foundation of the building before the studio opened its doors in 1997. On this episode we talk about sneaking into Shorty shows at Lounge Ax, Albini’s tighty whities, Adobe bricks, Alain Delon’s dog, The Jesus Lizard, The White Album, The U.K. Squeeze, broken Calrec Soundfield mics, and WHAT’S THE BEST?!? recording production.

From the Cascadia region of North America recording music as STRATEGY since 1999. Avoiding the temptation to use many names STRATEGY music ranges from experimental, sound art and noise music, to ambient, dub, techno, house, and mostly hybrids of all these...Based in Portland I love to play live, remix, and collaborate, tour when I can, also dabble in building my own gear for mostly hardware driven setups! I'm a founding partner of the casual and diverse independent label, COMMUNITY LIBRARY. 

I've released records with: Constellation Tatsu, Longform Editions, The Nite Owl Diner, Geographic North, Loon Moon, Dreamtone, Idle Hands, Endless Flight, 100% Silk, Entr'acte, Kranky, ZamZam Sounds/Khaliphonic, Peak Oil, Boomarm Nation, Community Library, Audio Dregs, Dreck, ORAC, Under The Spire, hellosQuare, Shockout, Low Point
