This Dubmission episode brings you some good music with SUBSET's live set at Meanjin Reggae Festival and End Bar. Born in New Zealand and now residing in Australia, the deep reverbs and modulating filtering delays of minimal dub techno and dubtronica is where SUBSET calls home. This performance was recorded in 2021, and is broadcasted now to celebrate Gaudi's Sub Signals Vol.2, which features, amongst others, SUBSET's tune The Astrogator.

SUBSET | Dubmission Records Series Ep. 23 | 18/02/2022

Live set of original, remixed, and unreleased tracks from my set at Sub Sbass July23, 2022.

Technically a recording of a rehesrsal, it contains plenty of mistakes, fiddlings and learnings, preparing for the night.

Starting on a more dub/roots flavour, the set progresses into chilled dub techno, then experiments with a few pieces more tech-related.

The eleventh instalment of a slowly growing collection of free tracks I'll be releasing via Soundcloud.

The track is named after the The Kepler space telescope, a now-disused space telescope launched by NASA in 2009 to discover Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars, and named after astronomer Johannes Kepler.

Key & tempo: Dm, 122bpm.

My latest EP on Dubmission Records "Call of the Whipbird" builds on previous fusions of electronica and live instrumentation.

The enchanting opener "Whipbird Dub" features an Australian Eastern Whipbird recorded in misty parkland in Maleny, Queensland, and gave rise to the EP’s title. It is followed by the oft psychedelic "Journey to Tayrona", which relies heavily on live guitar and bass.

The atmospheric "Aximal" was the first track completed for the release, and its interplay of effected and mangled synth lines creates a spacious and syrupy vibe, like dancing in a cave full of bubble tea.

Originally started in May 2021, the aptly named "Off the Deep End" was a late discovery in a trove of incomplete tracks, and was the last tune completed for the EP. Finally, "Step Function" sees a return to a more straight-forward dub techno feel with flicks and flecks of warped and effected synths creating texture atop a driving kick drum and bassline.

Marking a break from SUBSET’s usual photograph-based artwork, the cover was generated by directing a machine-learning algorithm to hint at the illusive nature of the Eastern Whipbird.

Live 1.5 hour set from Sabotage 2 at the Byron Bay Brewery, 16 March 2019.

Due to technical issues I had to simplify the live setup down to just the BCR and NanoPad for this one.

All loops / sounds / samples created within then exported from Bitwig. Then loaded back in and arranged into a set structure, one sound at a time.
