dub tech

INTERVIEW & TRACKLIST: http://truantsblog.com/2015/truancy-volume-110-braiden/

A lot has changed since we last spoke to Steve Braiden a little more than three years ago. Conversations about the intersections of dubstep and techno are now moot, for one thing. More specifically, Braiden has gone through several iterations in his career, transferring his radio show from Rinse to NTS, and then, following a move to Berlin, taking a break from weekly broadcasts. Furthermore, he's just launched a new record label, Off Out, an output for his own releases as well as those about which he truly feels passionate. Its first release, Braiden's own Apex Of The Sun's Way/Solar Poise, came out last month to some acclaim, and the latter track features prominently in our latest Truancy Volume. We caught up with him during the recent CTM festival to discuss his work rate, the strange experience that is radio DJing and why putting a record out is anything but liberating.

Rhythm And Sound - See Mi Version (Sun Is Shining By Czolos)

The surreal location on a medieval tiny village, the rock castle with an incredible view to the valley behind and the sea in front, the wind that was hitting so hard you couldn't even stand properly. And it was the wind that shaped also the playing modus, no way to use turntables, so a bit of home listening cd's mashed with the drum machine and the pedals, I still managed to bring this up. Recording is not really clean, but it gives an idea of what happened on that night. Definitely one to be remembered.

09 - Modeselektor - Let Your Love Grow (w. Paul St. Hillaire)

Release date: January 29, 2013 

Side A (45 RPM)

Side B (45 RPM)

Secret Circuit - Afterdub (4:50) 

Secret Circuit - aka Los Angeles producer Eddie Ruscha - holds a séance to summon the spirit of the dance floor on Afterlife (BIS005), the lead single from the forthcoming Tactile Galactics album. 

Secret Circuit’s second release for Beats In Space Records following last year’s Nebula Sphynx / Parascopic Rope 12” finds Ruscha working the arpeggiators and low-pass filters to a sequentially slavish but soulful effect, while introducing an entirely human element to the Secret Circuit skill set: vocals. “The voices echo in your soul, you feel them there. But are they really there,” Ruscha incants atop a billow of hazy delay at the top of the track.

The eight-minute ether world trip of the “Afterlife” a-side is backed by a slow churning, core burning remix by the unconventional Ukrainian house producer Vakula. Vakula uses his analog arsenal to push the frays of “Afterlife” into even further corners of the echo chamber, anchored by a backbeat, low-octave organ line that gives the track body with which to move. Ruscha completes the “Afterlife” journey with a procession of hand percussion in dub tradition.

Each 12" from Beats in Space Records features original artwork in considerate and serial form. The fifth 12" features artwork by Robert Beatty, the Lexington, Kentucky artist behind Three Legged Race and some of the most wasted album cover artwork ever. The 12" packaging constructed by Will Work For Good features a removable vinyl BIS logo cling.

Secret Circuit’s Afterlife will be released on January 29th, 2013 on Beats In Space as a limited edition 12” and digitally. Tactile Galactics will be released April 30, 2013. More on that subject soon.
