The scope of this mix is not genre, but differences in music, feeling and life that become visible by a conscious selection of interesting material, throughout contextualised by voice samples that make me wonder what electronic music is actually about. Not with an interest in bastard pop eccleticism, but with a feel for beauty, it all ending in the sparkling scenario of an end-of-the-night taxi ride through downtown Chicago.

Ibizan Street Dirt is a suspense-packed all-thrilled lameish pack of haptic funk – the media is the streets, so we find some dry, flirritating non-clash of reduced (neo-)detroitish to romantic styles, taking long transitions to then amount to a deep and dirty breakdown of unprecedented intensity.

    Disjunctive ecclecticism, as found in Ibizan Street Dirt (GTSS001) and What Makes The Possible Real (GTSS002), rules this slow paced, round and sensitive mix consisting of elements from Space Disco, Material House, Reality Computing and Popular Music.

    LISTEN HERE

    1. Mono Puff – Pretty Fly
    2. Talking Heads – Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)
    3. Iz & Diz – Love Vibe (Pepe Bradock’s “Confiote De Bits” Remix)
    4. Mono Puff – Pretty Fly
    5. Quarks – Fallen
    6. Hosomi – Kumorizoranohajimarutokoro
    7. Björk – Jóga
    8. Mice Parade – Double Dolphins On The Nickel
    9. Asa-Chang – Kutsu #3
    10. Morgan Packard – Airships Fill The Sky
    11. Morgan Packard – Mink Hills
    12. Yumi Kimura – Always With Me

    The intense climax is reached in the second half, when layering Hosomi and Björk creates a surprising tension. The momentum, then, just carries on, as this beautiful Mice Parade song is even more intesified by Asa-Chang’s trumpet play, anti-climaxing into two accordions from two different tracks, together breathing along, making lots and lots of space for the Mink Hills, when it’s nearly time to say good-bye already …

    So keep your eyes open, your ears, that is.

    Favourite label Cloud on this release’s a-side features an outstanding Vangelis track from 1980. Combining synthetic and natural sound, this slow and repetitive journey along the evolution of a still unknown technology is about diving into a deep, sweet, sleazy and melancholic relationship to those machines and the spaces they might have opened.
