Thanks, guys. Hope you dug it.

For those who like this kind of sound, there’s a free netlabel called cism (http://www.cismsound.net), who have a few releases up for download. Their V/A comp, Cismarine, is a pretty decent representation of this whole New Wave of Dub-techno thing:

Downloaded.   Love this stuff.    Now it's just finding time to listen!

Great mix...took me down the memory lane when  I used to spin  Fluxion (anyone remembers?) every day

[Undershadow]

Mhm. Good call. My very favourite Chain Reaction disc:

A bit less mellow than vol.1, with a shade more than of a leaning toward the tech and the dub and the mnml than the ambient.

Jouissance!

[Dave Michuda]

Alan,

Thanks for the new mix.  I'm downloading now & listening to the stream as I mop the kitchen floor.  This will be my soundtrack for cleaning today. 

I also just noticed the other mixes, "Great Axescapes: an Archaeology of Drone-gaze Tone-haze Guitar-wranglings", which look fantastic as well.  Those are alos in the download cue.

Thanks

[Undershadow]

You're welcome, Dave. It should hopefully be conducive to floor-mopping. As for those Great Axescapes volumes, I trailed them a couple of weeks ago in a separate thread here:

You must've had your head deeper in the bucket that day 

Enjoy.

Back in biz, ambidubtechno mix-mongers!

This mix sees a slight tweaking of the paradigm, in that, while retaining the tech and the ambient and a good dose of the dub, it pushes the textures and atmospheres towards the shoegaze and dreampop side, the mnml sometimes ceding to stretched swathes of shoesy-wooze for more of a lazy hazy crazy shoegazey daze of a dub-techno mix.
Incidentally, watch out for a bloke called Jesse Somfay, two of whose tracks find their way onto here. Now I reckon this guy knows (better than try-hards The Field, Nathan Fake, et al.) how to capture a distillate of the essence of guitar-gaze and synth-wooze (MBV through to BoC) for effective infusion into a technoid template.

[Dave Michuda]

Another fine mix!  This was the soundtrack as my son & I pit together a poster project for his science class.  Ambidubtech goes perfectly with protons, neutrons, electrons, isotopes, energy shells, quarks, etc.
