AVXMP3 #005 [(i)sodyne - mek dub not war EP]
“Mek Dub Not War comes courtesey of Avionix’s newest Act : (i)sodyne, born of Walker’s facination with dub/reggae and electronic dub. This EP pushes real analogue bass sounds with a live electronic feel fusing deep reverberated chords, real analogue/tape delay and a driving tech_house riddem section, generally the tracks were recorded in one take with all of the manipulation you hear being twisted up live.”
- mek dub not war “a driving slab of dubtech, taking a big leaf from Rythym and sounds book, (i)sodyne takes in a more polished and smooth approach still maintaining a raw , lo fi and often analogue sound, with deep driving chords, splashy echoes and a deep skanking groove, this track has already been turning heads since it’s promo release.”
- elements “a driving slice of dubtech, this time with more emphasis on tech, displaying shades of walker’s early work such as : monolink, this track is essential for anyone wanting to chart the deeper developments on offer here.”
- mek dub not war (soulfyre deejays mix) “with a stripped down riddem, booming analogue bassline and skanking chords, this mix is an excellent introduction to the mystical, unseen selektahs!!”
- ethereal (walker mix) “Patrick Walker slips into full on experimental dance mode , to remix this delicate and heartfealt track about the joys and tribulations of being in love, slightly twisted, full of emotion and with a crackling microhouse edge this will no doubt make an impact on more experimental dancefloors.”
