Me and Ben thought it would be fun to play a long DJ set together at Globus, the upstairs floor at Tresor in Berlin. 
We last played together (as Frequency 7) in May 2013. This time we played a ‘back to back’ DJ set, I’m pretty sure playing 2 tracks each for the whole six and a half hour set. All we had in mind beforehand was to start with some Dub and ‘see where it goes’. 

It was a lot of fun so we wanted to share the recording with you.



Ben Sims b2b Surgeon at Globus, Berlin 10th of May, 2025

Full tracklist: https://bleep.com/bleep-mix-311-u

This is a collection of songs and recordings from U's archive on Archenfield, a place that exists beneath the drifting borders of England, Wales and the Forest of Dean. The mix explores the area's musical history, humour and the sometimes overbearing legacy of senior nostalgia on modern rural culture. Amidst cheeky spoken word passages, rolling waves of piano and agile bucolic guitars, and twanging transatlantic connections, U juxtaposes different versions of folksongs and standards. Lydbrook Silver Band’s performance of ‘Edelweiss’ is dreamily mournful with ghostly brass arrangements, the sound of gloomy moors and overcast marshes switched out for Christine Turner’s arresting voice, while U transitions from Michael Tanner & Alison Cotton’s mystical plucks and string to his own ominously tolling drums and stories of ‘Black Vaughan’.

The Fear

Quadrant Dub

Quadrant Dub II

M Parent brings us a soundtrack of American dystopia, one that gives a pointed sonic voice to the bubbling frustrations and anxieties of our time. While American politics play out like a circus on the world stage, M Parent responds to the question of what it means to be American through dirty acid riffs and eerie electro synth stabs. The album opens up with the title track where a deep voice bellows, “The American Dream was a lie,” setting the stage for what comes next. A warped sense of reality bubbles over in Lose Your Mind, as a wailing electric guitar plays a distorted rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. On the track They Gave You What, a glitched out 808 breakbeat unwinds as psychedelic paranoia sets in over a stiff melodic hook.

But it’s not all doom and gloom, as it wouldn’t be a complete encapsulation of the American dream without a sense of hope. Balancing the LP out are playful tracks and aural details that keep the American tradition of funk alive. Fucked Acid offers a bright acid track with a funky falsetto synth line. At the album’s cheeky climax, Electric Snake, a reptilian beast is lured out with 808 toms and beat back by unrelenting snare rolls. Maniacal laughter and an acidic bubbly lead race towards the album’s conclusion in the track Get In. The LP finishes with Groovy, an uplifting track that adds a fragile sense of optimism.

Identified Patient’s Bleep mix is a journey into darkside psychedelia and netherworld electronics which tops 100 minutes in length. The tracklisting is hugely varied in style - dark ambient, mutant junglism, caustic industrial experiments, leftfield techno and just about any other style with a confrontational, challenging aesthetic is roped into service by Identified Patient here. However, no matter which genre the producer/DJ is operating in at a given moment, the uniform feeling one gets from this mix is of dark energy. From the wandering drones and trip-hop lopes which kick things off to the frenetic rhythm work of the home straight, this mix remains as seductive as it is ominous.

"When acoustic-based electro and industrial sounds come together, it gives a kind of musical tension and discomfort that I really like. In a way, I feel this mix is a reflection of that. The ending includes SSIEGE’s Blind track, taken from his Fading Summer album, to set the vision on a colder period ahead." -  @identified-patient
