Musically speaking, dub techno has a haunting, haunted, tripped out site of memorial exploration where everything sounds half-remembered, half-there and half-real. The genre is akin to ambient music, in that music of both genres acts as background music on purpose. The best tracks in the dub techno genre do what little it does amazingly, in that every element in the mix is given breathing space and, accordingly, takes on a sense of the organic.

Rival Consoles, the moniker of British electronic musician Ryan Lee West, has carved his own niche in the world of the experimental electronic. helping to define a lot of the sound of the always excellent Erased Tapes label.  Weaving intricate soundscapes of ambient, techno, and classical elements with an ethos to "make synthesizers sound human", West is now back with the single “Coda” Another snapshot of nocturnal soundscaping, it follows up last year's album 'Now Is'. The single is accompanied by the announcement of new North American tour dates, his first in 5 years.

Dub techno is sometimes produced with vocals resulting in surprinsingly good results more than often. I ve selected 25 tracks which features vocalists (and some vocal samples) like Paul St-Hilaire and Benji. This is slowly meandering spacedub with deep, peaceful and dreamy lush ambient pads and dubby basslines. Though the old Rhythm & Sound influence is still clear—especially on the track Child was I—but what these producers are making truly feels fresh.

Barcelona’s John Talabot has been one of the biggest revelations of dance music in recent times. He has risen up from being a complete unknown to one of the most promising and in demand acts to arrive on the international club circuit. We’ve been big supports of his since his first 12” landed on Permanent Vacation back in 2009 and we're extremely happy to have this very special mix as the latest addition to our humble series. Oriol has always been quite an elusive character so we've decided to leave out the interview and let the music do the talking here. Enjoy!
