New Phantom Island incoming
New Phantom Island incoming
This was a Dubwise recommendation, also available on Bandcamp. Really nice blend of dub/trip hop/kraut vibes. If you like this kind of thing, you’ll love this.
Not sure about the vocal version with Ranking Joe, but I’m loving this
More Italochug from Balearic Jukebox
First three tracks on this are all great.
Tasteful version of the classic.
“Now it’s the turn of Klangkollektor, indulging a collection of hazy dub excursions which sit somewhere near Balearic splendour, piano-charged melancholy and isolation tank meditation. In the dub tradition the approach is consistent and evenly paced, but it’s certainly not aiming for any kind of typical Jamaican sound. Instead, there’s a gentle introspection to the melodic content which gels perfectly with the spacious approach to mixing, unfurling across four sides of wax for an album you can just melt into.” - Juno
SO good
Vibe.
Edit: it seems this has surfaced as the Idjuts dropped it at Rotation.
Beautiful 3 hour mix of floaty vibes.
Highly recommend grabbing the whole zikzak series. Epic, all of 'em. And all free.

Floating my bateau this morning
I’m not sure who I thought the ‘writing about music is like dancing about architecture’ quote was attributed to, but according to a quick search, it was possibly originated by a musical comedian I’ve never heard of, Martin Mull.
Anyway, I’ve been giving it a go, with some short blurbs for The Rutan releases.
He makes sample-based electronic music and I think he’s an expert at building tracks around dubbed-out vocal snippets.
If you like Sun-Ra / dub / hip hop / electro / jazz / electronic music (which is pretty much everyone, right?) then you might find something you like on this EP…
Sounding damn good in the sunshine
Gets better with every listen as well.
That’s lush!!
