The legendary Berlin dub-techno imprint recruits a trio of mixers to raid their back catalog, and the results are, well, mixed. Ricardo Villalobos takes on “Let We Go” with his familiar formula of spacey effects, deeeeeeep bass, a short vocal clip, and popping percussion for a 10-minute-plus excursion into dub. He slows things to just a crawl and a reggae rhythm a few minutes in, and though you keep expecting the beats to build back up and the rhythm to chug again, it simply never happens. Points for unpredictability, then, but you’ll feel like you’ve been to Mars and back, if not Montego Bay. Tikiman’s mix of “Boss Man” is traditional Jamaican dub-style that works great in headphones with a giant bong, but not on dancefloors, and only Vladislav Delay’s take on “Truly” is sizzling enough to work feet rather than head nods. A little something for everyone, then. Look for volume two soon.
