ani/live Fifty Nine: Baldman @ Jaleo Real

Not many people have done two Phonica mixes but Govind Singh is a man of many talents and his Silsila Dubs alias is something that we most definitely needed to visit.

A former staff member of Phonica and now handling things at Above Board Distribution it goes without saying that Govind lives and breathes this industry. Commonly known under his Kylin Tyce guise which has put out garage, house and a little bitta D&B for labels like Tesselate, PIV and Oldivibes over the years he has now focused on another deep love of his.
Silsila Dubs is two records deep now and is all about Govind's passion for Dub and soundsystem culture. Having had both his debut "Perseverance" and his follow up "Walk The Light" (featuring Trumpet from our own Luther Vine) being blessed at Notting Hill Carnival by the legendary Aba shanti I soundsystem it only speaks volumes of Govind's in-depth knowledge and ear for this sound.
For Off The Record 51 we asked Govind to put his Silsila Dubs hat on and show us what inspired and is currently motivating the project with an hour of Dub selections.

Off The Record Mix Series 51: Silsila Dubs

A new mix by Gi Gi, who is known for making music between ambient, downtempo, dub and trip hop.

For this mix, however, he increases the energy & tempo considerably, while maintaining the sense of texture that informs his music.

He recently put out an album on Quiet Time Tapes in September, and has previously released on Good Morning Tapes, INDEX:Records, and Ways Inner Pass.

it's a recording from a club set at a friend's diy space in nyc last september, from the release party for my last lp that just came out.

TOXE — Blinks
Format: 12"/Digital
Cat.No: PAN 88
Release Date: 22 June 2018
Purchase: https://toxe.bandcamp.com/album/blinks

Swedish producer Toxe's sharp ascent through club-cursed climes has elicited the highest praise from the start. In just a few years she has linked up with Staycore and Halcyon Veil, presented an A/V project 
with The Vinyl Factory, and scored KENZO's FW 2016 prints presentation with close collaborator Mechatok. Her new EP 'Blinks' is a fractal bloom of candied melodies and minor laments set in a sweep of frenetic rhythmic scenes. 

Developed throughout last year, 'Blinks' journals a period of inward flux. And though this is never presented in an overtly self-conscious way on the EP, Toxe binds a sweet juvenilia with a bustling and eager pensive tone to outline her tessellating sense of self just below the surface. 

Meditative glimpses of soaring synthetic landscapes are woven across 'Blinks' in brief snatches. Awash in horrific and gripping fluorescent hues, these environments are augmented by a comically mischievous 
patchwork of voices and saccharine rasps that clamour for attention, hinting at Toxe's impulse to voice a simultaneous and unorganised set of experiences. 

The release is mastered by Jeremy Cox, featuring art by Jasper Spicero.

Toxe – Honey Island (PAN 88)

Arbor marks the latest offering from Daniel Klag, a New York-based musician who delights in dense and syrupy electroacoustic samples. A repeat visitor to the Hudson Highlands as part of Dan Goldberg’s heralded Mountain Shows concert series, Daniel’s bespoke blend of ambient, kosmische, and drone styles echo the natural biorhythms of New York’s storied state parks — and the darkness that lurks within them. 

The six tracks that comprise Arbor conceal a melancholic undertow swirling underneath pitch-shifted mellotron and vibraphone samples. Making heavy use of modified Casio SK-1 samples, Arbor draws stylistically from historical touchstones such as Tangerine Dream’s analog synth explorations and Berlin-era David Bowie. Klag’s chugging drum machines and drifting arrangements provide a harmonic counterpoint to his hallmark grayscale tones — whereas “Arbor 4” evokes a pastoral atmosphere, “Arbor 6” closes out the record with a darker-hued, plangent offering. 

Each purchase of Arbor is accompanied by a text-based computer game designed and programmed by Klag himself. Drawing inspiration from the surreal arboreal setting depicted in comic artist Lando’s album artwork, players are invited to enter an abandoned structure deep within the woods. Inside, a mysterious mushroom awaits. As the game progresses, players encounter randomized glitches in the text output, which — in the spirit of Alvin Lucier's I Am Sitting in a Room — increase in frequency until the text is all but obscured. (For the heads — there are eight possible endings to the game, depending on the choices made by the player.) A sly nod to the fictitious masterpieces of Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves and Reddit’s Search and Rescue Officer stories, the album and its accoutrement allude to the new and ancient ghosts who stir the leaves beneath our feet. 

Arbor is available in limited cassette and unlimited digital formats on July 16, 2021. As an ode and an offering to the Hudson River region in which it was conceived, each cassette will be accompanied by a bonus pinch of dried chaga mushroom, known for its powerful antioxidant and healing properties. Tread lightly and enter at your own risk.
