This is an absolute delight of an album. Hitting all the places in dub that you want it to. Put it on, put your headphones on or turn your speakers up loud and enjoy. “Determined to insist on walking on the outskirts, on the edge of the path traced by the insistence, stretching the music to make it rubbery, in the search for a new album ^^^ immersed in recording and producing in midsummer, in the study of santa Coloma, with machines on fire and his head stuck in the knobs, between the cables and the thousand versions of each song. testing schedules and more synthesizers, destroying the waves, looking for the error as a lever to find the spark. forcing Ideas and leaving work to…
Via ForwardEver’s excellent profile of Foundation Channel For this imprint’s roster of music makers, it all begins with dub. Some labels are intrinsically motivated by a mission. For the Portland- and Detroit-based Foundation Channel, that quest is to preserve and promote electronic music’s dub roots.
