MTRMX043

DJ SLOW VENTURES DOWN THE DARKER SIDES OF DUB & DRONE
This mix was inspired by an album I’d had on deep repeat that was then used as the foundation to build the mix around. Sigma Flare I by Chambers (Gabriel Saloman and Michael Red) struck a chord in me for its application of ethereal and wintry textures framed in a dub sensibility. Being a huge dub reggae fan, this record got me thinking about what else in my collection had dark, haunting and/or noise elements coupled with dub effects, and as I dug into my library the theme expanded to include darker cosmic, tribal, and drone elements.
