XTC DUB - PsyAmb 99
Is this some kind of trick of the light ? Two mixes in just under two weeks ? Yes indeed friends ! Thanks for all the feedback on the last mix over at Mixcloud and around the SNSverse. I missed hearing from you all too. So much love and heartfelt thanks to you all for taking the time to check it out.
Today I'd like to present a mix of psychedelic dub tunes that have been showing me some lockdown love these past few months. Most of these tracks were released over the past year or two.
All these songs are brilliant in the own way however I would like to highlight a few particularly special numbers.
First the mix kicks off with a track from UK based artist Spatialize. The UK has a fine history of psychedelic dub artists ( well, all dub genres really ) all the way back to the early days of Twisted Records and Liquid Sound Design. Spatialize is continuing the trend with his deep bass driven mystical journeys. Check out his brilliant album "Beyond The Radar" for plenty of fine chillosophy. One of my favorite tracks of his is the remix he did of Ooze's track "Quintessence". What happened to Ooze ? Last I heard he was teaching some kind of music mentoring program. It's a real shame he never followed up that classic "Where The Fields Never End" release with another Ooze album.

We also have another Geoglyph track this time. And why not ? He is certainly one the essential up and coming artist to be following these days. This time out he remixes "Curled Up Dimensions" by Key-G. You can get a real sense of what a fine musician he is from this remix. Perfectly placed rippling squelches, dub stab chords and that amazing vocal rise will transport you into an another time and space.
One last track to mention is the Kuba remix of Youth and Gaudi's track "Empress Of The Tarot" from the Youth/Gaudi collaboration "Astronaut Alchemists Remixes". A superb album featuring remixes from the likes of Kaya Project, Banco de Gaia, Pitch Black and The Orb to name but just a few. There are 15 or more or tracks on offer. The Double CD sold out in no time but you can still get the digital release through the Liquid Sound Design bandcamp site. A limited edition 12" vinyl EP of some selected remixes is also on offer now so don't miss out if vinyl is your thing.
Thanks for listening in. I hope you enjoy this psychedelic dub mix and keep an eye out for the next PsyAmb episode - number 100 ! Oh and if you like the cover image about then follow me on Instagram where I mostly post my other passion - my drawings and doodles such as the drawing above which was done on my trusty XP-Pen graphic display tablet.
Cheers ...
