We are thrilled to present the long-awaited return of Alter Echo & E3.  These are genre-defying tracks of immense power, depth, and detail, steeped in sound system mythologies while staking a claim to a piece of the unwritten future. This is a sonic world where dub effects feel sentient - echoes and reverbs spin DNA through their chains, creating alien flora and fauna as they go. Studio kinda cloudy, yes, with strange gasses and vapor suffusing the herb smoke.

Nubian Dub is a stripped, anthemic 140-dub tune that pummels with space and rocks with spectral energies.  A rough dubplate mix of the track circulated amongst a lucky few last year.  Lost for a time in a badman version excursion, Alter Echo emerged and the finished mix is now ready to reveal.  A haunting 'oud figure floats above the bedrock of a massive half-step riddim, while shards of percussion, voice, test tone, and effects that seem to breathe swirl in the space between them.   

Warning dub’s bunker-busting riddim is dragged along by a mutant Jammy-style bassline that lurches and blasts into unheard territories, parting thick, alien atmospheres with relentless fader-rocking forward motion.  Fevered cyborg consciousness, half-mulched sound-system tapes, desert flutes, and strange feral things just out of sight… Warning is both an existential reminder that in this life “anything can happen…” and a classic soundboy-challenge to any that might try to test this behemoth of a sound.

Alter Echo AKA Josh Derry, has spent the last decade and a half working as a dub scientist of the highest order. Through his collaborations with DJ Spooky, Lee Perry, Mad Professor, Scientist, Twilight Circus and countless others, he has often worked as the Hidden Hand, perfecting and alloying disparate materials into wholly new dub forms. Alongside E3, he was one of the founders of BSI Records, and has released on labels including M Records, Six Degrees, Thirsty Ear, Sub Rosa, and Bangarang. E3 (AKA Ezra E. Ereckson) is a founding member of agit-dub band Systemwide, was the head of BSI, and now runs ZamZam Sounds alongside Tracy Harrison. E3 has been a vinyl archaeologist for 25 years.

PsychillI’m revisiting the first Zenlike Creature album and, I guess, tweaking the mix and remastering. Whilst I am very proud of my work, I’ve learned so much over the last few years that I listen back and wish I could have mixed it better.

Now, I know some folk are purists (see the Star Wars back against George and the 97 reissues) but all I want to do here is enhance what I wrote and produce, not add anything that wasn’t there in the original. Just a better balanced mix and master.

New Zealand's Harry Bretherton, known in the realm of electronic music as Organikismness, has been around the block. And not just once; the artist has been building an almost encyclopedic catalog of tunes for almost a decade. Organikismness isn’t afraid to experiment - he’s conquered a massive range of tempos and has proven time and time again his prowess in composing both original music and stellar remixes. Drum & Bass and Dubstep were clearly very influential to his palate of the deep, dark, and mysterious, and now he’s returned as ISM with 7 symphonic selections entitled “Electric Dread LP.”

The concept of the aptly named LP represents the seamless interconnectivity of electronic music and dub/reggae vibes and culture. The first four tracks of the project are Dubstep - strictly that deep 140 that instantly puts you in a dark room, slithering on cold concrete. The opening track, “Electric Dread (Naza Vibes)” begins with a quote from an insightful Jamaican man, and sets the tone for the dubbed out, eerie album. Then the bombastic bass and wonky rhythmic percussion creeps on in and the mean mug comes out to play. “Badoozy”’s off-kilter wobble will have you sittin’ sideways, while “Babylon”’s ethereal synth work and spooky vocal samples in the beginning predict a slightly different outcome - we’re treated to an aggressively soothing bassline and the crisp clicks of ISM’s complex drum patterns. The latter half of the album is a journey through Drum & Bass. The refrain of the percussion in “Mercy” pairs excellently with ISM’s voluminously viscous vibrations, and the closing track, “Dreadnaughtus” is a glitch-ridden half-time banger that knocks the cerebellum with furious fervor. 

“Electric Dread,” in the end, is a spectacular showcase of Organikismness’ boisterous bass bombs, and a solid testament to his competence and mastery of dancefloor bass music production. Equally appropriate in a dark bedroom or in a dimly-lit club, this shit will make you gyrate your pelvis, sway your hips and do the damn thing.

22 November 2018 / Mesh

01. Scarp (Om Unit Remix)
02. Scattered (Max Cooper Remix)
03. Subside (Tenebre Remix)
04. Half Life (Nicolas Bougaïeff Remix)


Following on from the Cairn EP earlier this year, Brecon - the new collaborative project from Joe Farr and Will Brown - present the Cairn Remixes, due 22 November on MESH. For this package, Om Unit, Nicolas Bougaïeff , Max Cooper and Tenebre present four diverse interpretations of tracks from the EP. 

Drawing on years of experience as established producers in the UK scene, Brecon fuse their heavier dance music heritage with a penchant for introspective melodies. Angular percussion and reflective harmonies drive a range of tempos into vast acoustics, wandering through repurposed references to UK garage, early dubstep, house and techno. 

For his remix of ‘Scarp’, Om Unit forges a dubbed out half-time stepper with rich, immersive textures and rolling percussion, followed by Max Cooper’s shuffling, emotive take on ‘Scattered’. Tenebre’s take on ‘Subside’ morphs the pointillist form of the original into a gritty, industrial swirl. Closing off the EP, Nicolas Bougaïeff morphs ‘Half Light’ into a marching dancefloor cut for the peak hours.
