This is a fantastic mix. So psyched to see Pole at LPR!

Three hours of garage, dubstep, grime, hardcore, jungle and techno recorded on a Sunday evening at 121 in Wellington for the Friendly Potential crew. At their request I tried to play with the energy of the old Sunday night sessions at FWD>>, and it was so fun. Old and new music side by side. Spinbacks at 2008 levels. 

Big thanks to everyone involved in this incredible trip to New Zealand and Australia, especially the Friendly Potential crew who made the whole thing possible. It was wonderful to play music again, and I hope to be back soon.

Luke Vibert Mix on Gilles Peterson Worldwide (GPWW947)

Paul Woolford’s Special Request alias has developed into so much more than the jungle and breakbeat project it started as. Proof of that comes this month with his Belief System LP, a magnum opus spread across four slabs of vinyl. The first half is a techno trip full of visceral twists and turns scattered with references to his love of pirate radio. The second half is the soundtrack to a fatalist mind movie that is dark and broody. Woolford’s mastery of sound design elevates the whole thing to a new level, and listening to it is as absorbing and complete an experience as you could wish for. 

As a DJ with many years experience under his belt, his work in the booth is just as essential. In his Dekmantel Podcast he takes us on an unpredictable roller coaster that veers from sparkly New York disco through to haunted beats, twisted electro and monstrous techno. Spin backs, face melting basslines, rave and punishing drums make it as much a party starting main room mix as a heads down let’s ‘av it marathon. It’s fun, full on and pushes and pulls you in many different directions without ever letting the energy levels dissipate.

Dekmantel Podcast 142 - Special Request

Berlin artist Pole (Stefan Betke) has assembled a mix from his beloved collection of vinyl simply entitled "The Birth of Reggae Music." The mix not only creates a canvas of reggae's pioneers, it provides insight into the roots of Stefan's own legendary and influential work, a mix of minimal electronic music with dub bass lines and rhythm. This podcast is not only a celebration of Pole's recent return to a reconfigured version of the original sound that established his name, it marks the upcoming third edition of Unsound Festival New York.
Pole will perform on 20 April 2012 at (le) Poisson Rouge on a line up also featuring the Sun Araw Band, exploring their own version of a dub sound, fused with afrobeat, psychedelic drone and more. Inner Tube will open, with Mark McGuire of Emeralds and Spencer Clarke creating a guitair/synth duo inspired by Australian surf movies from the 80s. For now, you know what to do: listen to this mix, get into the mood, and enjoy the warmer weather.

On an educational note, for those of you who don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of dub and reggae, here's Mr Betke's tracklist:

01. Pluggy Satchmo "23rd Psalm"
02. Junior Delgado " Sons of Slave"
03. Michael Palmer "Don´t smoke the Seed"

Unsound Podcast 14: Pole - "The Birth of Reggae Music"

Solid Steel (31st August) In Hour 1 we welcome Berlin resident Nick Höppner who skillfully balances, explores and contributes to a dramatically wide range of musical professions, proving him to be one of the backbones of today's House and Techno underground. Be it through his monthly residencies at the inimitable Berghain / Panorama Bar, his solo releases for Ostgut Ton, his expansive DJ touring, or indeed his creative involvement and management of the Ostgut label since its inception and his own label Touch from A Distance. He told us;
"I remember listening to Solid Steel in its earlier days when the original Ninja Tune roster and affiliated artists would take turns in delivering the most amazing mixes in an almost casual fashion. Jungle and Drum’n’Bass almost always featuered and as it’s the music that got me into clubbing, I decided to pay tribute to this music I’ve loved so much in the 90s (and still do). Enjoy!"

Tracklist: https://mixmag.net/feature/the-cover-mix-objekt

“For my Mixmag cover mix I just wanted to give readers an idea of some of the things I’ve been playing out in my sets recently. With only an hour or so to play with I decided not to go too crazy with the BPM ranges or polyrhythmic excursions of other recent mixes of mine, but I still wanted to thread together my usual broad range of styles while keeping it relatively accessible and party-friendly overall – at least by my standards. It’s mostly new(ish) material with a couple of older records thrown in, weaving its way through techno, breakbeat, electro, deconstructed club, garage and acid – a good example of what I might play in the first hour of a longer set, perhaps, before potentially venturing further into faster electro or IDM or jungle or slowing it way down later on.” @keinobjekt

The Cover Mix: Objekt

Martyn draws from his roots with deep, genre-spanning percussive sounds for the 200th mix in our series. Operating independently of genres and bpm, his mix offers lots of fresh perspective on a typically UK club sound, with an array of hefty selections extending from techno to drum and bass. It's with this seemingly effortless style and inventiveness that Martyn's sound continues to appeal to a broad range of dance music selectors and fans.

Martyn has an equally creative approach to his music production and an eye (and ear) for like-minded creators with releases coming via his own 3024 imprint (which he runs together with long-time collaborator Erosie) including the latest release from https://soundcloud.com/tsvisions entitled 'Stargate'.

Hessle Audio feat. Ben UFO - 01 June 2020

Further information: bleep.com/features/bleep-mix-152-Shackleton

The enigmatic genius Shackleton’s contribution to Bleep’s mix series is completely and utterly captivating. In his first mix in almost a decade, the music blends tracks from 2019’s Reach The Endless Sea and 2020’s Like The Stars Forever And Ever, the two LPs Shackleton has made as part of the group Tunes Of Negation. These numbers are spliced together with live versions, improvisatory passages and droning interludes which were fashioned by Shackleton resampling pre-existing tracks. Those who know Shackleton from his dubstep days will find that his sound has changed considerably since then - his intoxicating style now nods more to Jon Hassell’s fourth world explorations, Indian classical music, the rhythmic phasing of Steve Reich and post-minimalist artists like Midori Takada. This earthy, psychedelic hour serves as a fascinating chronicle of how Shackleton’s artistic voice has developed down the years.  

"The mix is made up of tracks from the two "Tunes Of Negation" albums, some live versions, and some studio improvisations.  I made some bridges between the tracks with drones and the like that I created out of parts from existing tunes that I resampled and generally messed around with."
