teatime dub encounters is the result of a few clandestine hotel room recording sessions, that began a few weeks after underworld and iggy pop had each released their last albums (barbara, barbara we face a shining future and post pop depression respectively) on the same day (march 18th2016). it is neither historical or a tribute to past work. it is the work of artists in motion, engaged in a process that both bring to all of their work – one that uses spontaneity as a spur for creativity.
dead fader returns with his new album *glass underworld*. dead fader is the alter ego of john cohen - former brighton resident, now based in berlin - who has worked relentlessly since 2007 to realise his vision of electronic music. his tracks are characterised by pioneering sound explorations, which on one hand oscillate between sonic extremities and on the other hand carefully craft cinemascope sound worlds. *glass underworld* became a very personal exploration for john, developing further his emotionally tinged brand of techno which he established with the previous ep sun copter. furthermore, the film interstellar visually influenced the album, mapped as an image for cohens tracks to exist in. the vinyl release is limited to 300 copies and comes with download code included.
duat (pronounced do-aht) was the realm of the dead in ancient egyptian mythology. the deity osiris was believed to be the lord of the underworld since he personified rebirth and life after death, being the first mummy as depicted in the osiris myth. the underworld was also the resi-dence of various other gods along with osiris. the duat was the region through which the sun god re traveled from west to east each night, and it was where he battled apep, who embodied the primordial chaos which the sun had to defeat in order to rise each morning and bring order back to the earth. it was also the place where people’s souls went after death for judgement, though that was not the full extent of the afterlife. burial chambers formed touching-points be-tween the mundane world and the duat, and the akh, the effectiveness of the dead, could use tombs to travel back and forth from the duat.

after being wowed by christian smiths superb remix of carl craigs >at les< the legendary underworld listed it as one of their tunes of 2010 thereby planting a seed in the veteran producers mind. a mutual appreciation and the aforementioned events have resulted in smiths biggest remix yet – the reworking of underworlds seminal >dark & long<. coming in two versions, both of which have won immense support from the band themselves, the christian smith remixes of >dark & long< take the track in to new territories respectfully and skilfully. the tronic treatment mix preserves the vibe of the original perfectly while adding a condensed but slow burning feeling of tension which explodes into the epic break we all know and love. the hypnotica dub version underpins karl hydes classic vocal refrain and the rich synths of the original with an ever-changing, guttural monster of a bassline that adds a whole load of understated aggression without ever taking over the wonderful melodies.

der erste track der ep ist ein prog-lastiges requiem, durchzogen von verzerrten synthies und einer perkussiven sanftheit, die dazu einlädt, direkt auf die tanzfläche zu gehen. die klangliche agilität von -wandt uncorked- wird von einer treibenden energie umrahmt, die nur noch mehr anschwillt, wenn man sich bewegt und schicht für schicht einen neuen rhythmus bietet. gottesfuß- bietet verträumte synthies mit anklängen an die underworld-Ära von -a hundred days off- und entwickelt sich zu einem ausufernden, sexy-verrückten fünfminütigen glücksgefühl. der zweite track von niklas baut sich mit einem vertrauten vibrato und einem gemütlichen bass auf und ist die perfekte kulisse für dancefloor-momente und verliebte feierabende. die b-seite der aktuellen ep von wandt gleitet durch alle nur denkbaren subaquatischen gefilde. geschmeidige breaks gehen gleichmäßig in unzählige unterwasser-drones und/oder außerirdische schreie über und bilden eine raffinierte klanglandschaft, die wandts fähigkeiten als perkussionist unterstreicht.
