Round Black Ghosts
Scape
DUBSTEP
From day one, the pursuit of dub’s influence on contemporary electronic music has been one of ~SCAPE’s guiding principles. ‘Round Black Ghosts’ continues this tradition and, at the same time, adds a new facet to the mix. Compiled by label owners STEFAN BETKE (POLE) and BARBARA PREISINGER throws a spotlight on dubstep - a relatively recent genre, oscillating within and beyond its own fluid boundaries. Here, dubstep’s ongoing process of redefinition and renegotiation finds itself further enriched and expanded.
While MARTYN takes a detour to Detroit with his warm synth chords on “Velvet”, SYNCOM DATA’s quietly pulsating “Beyond The Stars” proudly pursues the paths of Berlin’s dub techno legacy. ELEMENTAL, on the other hand, takes inspiration from the harsh sounds of IDM and Acid House. Yet despite their different approaches, the overall mix sounds impressively coherent.
