Joy Orbsion is someone we have a long and fruitful relationship with here at Dekmantel. He is, and always has been, a pure embodiment of UK dance music. His sound is steeped in English musical history (often explicitly in the form of sampled monologues) but also very much makes a new history of its own. He’s had countless underground hits from his definitive post-dubstep breakthrough ‘Hyph Mngo’ to his peak time tech tools with Boddika, and each one marks a mini reinvention of his style. What ties them all together, though, is O’Grady’s unique penchant for blending garage, bass, funky, house, techno and old school jungle into his own fresh concoctions. 

The two hour podcast he has served up here -as a perfect warm up to our festival this weekend- is split into two parts. Says the artist himself, “the first half is basically a way of showcasing producers that are doing great things at the moment and is completely made up of new, unreleased music, and the second half is basically winding things down with a load of stuff from my record collection. A come down, of sorts.” Starting with a spoken word snippet from his jungle playing uncle Ray Keith, the mix is initially atmospheric and moody, with sleek and stripped back drums and smeared synths making for a heady and intimate mood. After picking up through skewed bass patterns and skeletal techno, the second half seduces with elegiac rhythms, jazz selections and spoken word tracks as well as delicious soul sounds, reggae and stoned broken beat.  The results show exactly where Orbison is at musically, as well as offering an insight into where he has come from.

Three years ago we started publishing mixes online on wichelroede.net. As we like to work on ways to connect music with design, last year (2015) we began developing our first physical product. The result is this mixtape, a collaboration between Beatrice Dillon, Ben UFO, and wichelroede. Initial released in February of this year, the tape immediately was sold out. After a second run in April, together with the artists we’ve now decided to release both mixes online as stream and free download.

Side A is a mix by Beatrice, side B is a mix by Ben. The London residents recorded two forty-five (times two equals ninety) minute mixes which are beautifully complimentary while still surprising. Both mixes consist of an outstanding selection ranging between electronics, dub, reggae, jazz, ambient, techno, and house. The ‘sleeve’ and on body-print of the cassette tape is designed by Fallon.
