Kyson, Radere, Rhythm & Sound, Kyle Bobby Dunn
I am finally writing to you from the other side. Last week, I graduated from Parsons The New School for Design with a Master’s in Design & Technology. As I begin to decompress the last two years of hard work and neglecting other areas of my life (including this blog), I find myself standing at the beginning of a new chapter in life. Hoping to have more time to get back to blogging and sharing stuff around here. Starting with a selection of dub and ambient.

I was fortunate to be able to find the time to do the album art for Moodgadget’s latest release from new signing Kyson. I fell in love with the EP as I worked on it, you can stream the entire thing and download the opening track for free over on the Kyson – Patience mini-site. I really dig the classic strains of dub techno and garage in this bite-sized track.
Radere – Chimes Loop – Good Evening, Ghosts

Between taking excellent photos on instagr.am and collaborating with friends on a plethora of projects and releases, Radere seems to be settling well into his new habitat in Colorado. He recently sent me Good Evening, Ghosts, an EP centered around this Chime Loop with approaches by Anduin, Benoît “Honore” Pioulard, Sun Hammer (a dark project of A Setting Sun), and Jannick. The raw, lo-fi qualities of this track make for some lush ambiance.

While shopping for a birthday present for my girlfriend, I heard this classic material from Rhythm & Sound (aka dub pioneers Basic Channel) at Meme Antenna (on Bedford Ave) and immediately had to pick up the CD… can’t believe this track is from 1997. You really can’t get much better than this when it comes to dub techno, something I think most dub heads will agree with a hint of sadness. Can’t wait to dive deeper into the Burial Mix catalogue soon, thankfully much of it is listed in the CD packaging.
Kyle Bobby Dunn always keeps me in the loop as to what he’s up to. Earlier today, he sent me a link to this new music video for his track, . Filmed in Australia, it puts a really fascinating glimpse into possible pairings of Dunn’s undeniably cinematic soundscapes with a visual accompaniment. The result tells a story that rewards the patient observer and should get those who are familiar with Kyle’s work excited for future video projects and releases.
