When I’m locked into the pocket of an agreeable groove the present moment enlogates, freeing me to appreciate it.

To some, dub techno‘s hallmark layering of super-straight-forward-and-stripped-down 1-to-2-bar loops can be relentlessly irritating and abrasive but, to me, that kind of ultra-repetition is just right.

My first introduction to any of its many incarnations was via a Tiefschwarz DJ set at the 2007 WMC I was there specifically to hear (and dance to) their remix of Phonique’s `The Red Dress` and the ‘Holden Tool’ followed it. The tune in the attached is a cover (by Vessels) for a remix (by James Holden) of the rambling ambient techno classic, `The Sky Was Pink` by Nathan Fake.
