Label:Clone – C#27
Format:Vinyl, 12", 45 RPM
Country:Netherlands
Released:2002
Genre:Electronic
Style:Dub, Electro


One of the two The Other People Place releases (the Warp full length and this 12). Drexciyan involvement in this classic release is obvious. One of the deepest and intense tracks with such a warm positive vibe. Flipside contains a track by Mystic Tribe. (not very mystical of course for those who know the history of Detroit techno. Unique track from a unique project... and there are not many projects with Tribe in its name. Their release on Retroactive is one Detroit techno collector items). One of those records that get you through the day. Classic!!!

ACTRESS - SHOCKTHERAPY101

ACTRESS - SHOCKTHERAPY101Wolverhampton’s finest wanderer drops another shard through the data haze.

In a recent interview for Dazed And Confused Darren Cunningham discussed the music he made as Actress, musing about early computer programming as: “a really naïve idea of typing down what someone has given you and seeing what the computer spits out and then it becomes language, language data. And you can kind of make sense of it.”

‘R.I.P’, The most recent album of this remarkable London producer can be seen as a process of understanding this fact – that the upshot of the digital age is that our language and our stories have become data. His practice of releasing music outside through Twitter and disappearing Soundclouds has been discussed in depth elsewhere on Dummy, and here is the latest, ShockTherapy101,released into Twitter’s ether yesterday like a whisper, or an inert gas, or a nerve agent. If Actress’s albums are about the process of our myths and souls becoming part of the cloud, these split releases are as important, if not more so. Suggesting Detroit techno and Turner’s clouds, it’s majestically unformed. Even though this was released in an instant, it’s a fluent expression of where Actress’s mind is, transported through the net for us all to hear.

[SAM011] Kangding Ray - Monad XI

Kangding Ray’s Monad XI is a fierce exploration of points of origin. With track titles referring to a circle, a stork, a river and a desert, the compositions are filled with abstract references to the four elements. These tropes emerge in the form of dizzying aqueous loops, arid beats, punishingly dark pads, and splintering top lines. This is music which emerges from a sound design process where spontaneity is just as prised as structure. With one ear always attuned to the coincidental.
