Wikkid Times

Released earlier this week, the 'Versions & Remixes' edition of Beat Pharmacy's Wikkid Times.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the original Wikkid Times. It had a few great tracks and although the production was excellent throughout, there were too many in your face spoken-word vocals for my taste. 

I'm pleased then, that Deep Space Media have released two new editions of the album.

The first of these releases features dub-remixes from Intrusion, Quantec, Deadbeat and Appleblim together with re-works from producers who are a little more dancefloor orientated including Cocoon's Minilogue and the man of the moment cosmic deep houser John Daly.

The second release, 'Versions', in Burial-mix tradition reduces but doesn't entirely remove the vocals from the tracks. This is the one to go for over the original album, in my opinion.

You can pick up both releases on Beatport - the Remixes and the Versions. 

New Monolake

New material from the mighty Monolake. I am a relative newcomer to Monolake so won't say too much, but this new two track EP is very good. Deep sub-bass & industrial hi-hats in full force. Intense.

£1.70 for the EP @ Boomkat, not bad at all.

Sublime Porte

Just a quick post to inform people about a net label I just discovered. 

I'm probably late on this but if you head over to Sublime Porte you can download some quality dub and deep techno releases by various producers.

Definitely worth a scan.

New Releases

An excellent new EP out this week, in the form of the Intrusion dubs of Linkwood Family Miles Away. Two excellent pieces of spacious laid-back dub techno from the mighty Stephen Hitchell. As far as I know this is vinyl only and can be purchased @ Boomkat.

The much talked about RA Podcast by Intrusion is amazing. 90 minutes of quality dub techno starting off with the above-mentioned track. You can download that here.

Slightly related is the release of The Moritz Von Oswald Trio's debut album Vertical Ascent due out on Honest Jon's Records sometime next month. The Trio consits of Moritz himself, Max Loderbauer and Vladislav Delay (aka Luomo) The samples suggest a much more experimental dub sound to the usual. Interested!
