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

Maybe it's the recession, perhaps it's the planetary alignment or it could even be down to Kanye's fashion mantourage making everyone pick their game up a little but there seems to be a wealth of incredible releases out there at the moment.

Mark Broom has been a constant figure on the techno scene since the mid nineties and unlike some of his peers has seemed to be able to adapt and push his sound with the times. He's pushing a particularly prolific level of output at the moment with no fewer than six releases to his name this year already.

These are exciting times we live in. No, no, please keep reading. I'm not going to talk about the US elections. I couldn't give a toss, really. I'm referring to the astounding quality and fair quantity of albums being released that are patiently stacking themselves into my listen-to list this year.

Earlier in the year Sascha Funke, Loco Dice, Minilogue and The Mole all released superb albums. In the latter parts of 2008 we've had substantial additions from Shed, Stefan Goldmann, Headhunter and the topic of today's discussion, Deadbeat, with Roots and Wire.
