The Greatest Dub Techno Mix in the World... Ever!

That little pile of sweetness over there counts as some of the most prized records in my collection. Any serious techno head will have their own little love story to tell about how and when they found out about Maurizio, Basic Channel, Chain Reaction and Rhythm & Sound. After posting this pic I took for an old article I wrote profiling the music, I was asked if I'd ever done a mix of all of those records. I hadn't and immediately set about plotting one out.
I made a few rules for myself in doing the mix: it would only be music made or remixed by Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald together. That meant none of their recent solo work or co-produced tracks with others. I also left out the majority of the early Basic Channel records as they weren't really dub techno, although I did sneak in Q1.1. Some others I left out because with the mix running at 2 1/4 hours already I was conscious of how much more space I would need to host it, and my ability to keep putting the records together was waning. Anyway, here it is, 30 tracks of the greatest dub techno in the world... ever! The Greatest Dub Techno mix in the World... Ever! by mirrorcube

Clubland August

For over fifteen years Moritz von Oswald has been rewriting the book on modern dub music, feeding stripped back German techno and house through vintage valve compressions and creating a legion of fans with his Basic Channel, Chain Reaction, Maurizio and Rhythm & Sound projects with Mark Ernestus. Save for a couple of remixes we haven't heard from von Oswald since the last Rhythm & Sound release though his Recomposed album with Carl Craig last year was a dramatic shift away from his affiliation with dub techno and saw the veteran producer delving in to modern classical fused with electronics. Following on from that project we here witness the formation of the Moritz von Oswald Trio, a supergroup of sorts featuring Vladislav Delay and Max Loderbauer from Sun Electric.
