Slash Dot Dash Podcast 007: Dead Sound
Since it’s relaunch, Slash Dot Dash has been all about 3 things, Dub, Techno and Industrial. Kenneth Christiansen brought the dub, everyone else has brought the techno, but now it’s time for us to represent the industrial side through our podcast series.
Hailing from Stoke in the North of the UK, Dead Sound, is a fusion of 4/4 techno and broken beat experimentalism. Taking influences from UK EDM and Berlin’s stand out techno sound to create Industrial techno different from any other. Unlike most industrial producers he doesn’t rely on relentless, high octane banging, preferring to keep the tempo’s steady and let the use of effects and intelligent programming produce big dancefloor reactions.
This talent has been recognised, and snapped up, by one of the UKs best labels, Perc Trax, and with his production partner, Videohead, they’ve remixed releases from Go Hiyama and Samuli Kemppi and PT048 saw their first solo project featuring 5 forward thinking tracks.
For the Slash Dot Dash Podcast 007, the award winning turntablist has compiled a selection of his own tracks for this mix, and once you press play, it’s easy to see why Dead Sound has a big future ahead of him and we’re delighted to be featuring him in our series. You can stream or download the mix from the soundcloud player below or you can subscribe and download from iTunes.
You can find the rest of our podcast mixes on our Soundcloud page, through iTunes or on the Slash Dot Dash website Podcast Page

Dead Sound & Videohead - The Chosen [Perc Trax 048]
Industrial action is somewhat the sign of the times from Perc Trax of late and thankfully we’re not talking about them going on strike. Recent releases from Forward Strategy Group and of course Perc’s very own debut album, ‘Wicker & Steel’ have set the standard for things to come.
Perc Trax 048 sees a first release from new boys Dead Sound & Videohead, although it’s not their first outing on the label after their recent remixes for Go Hiyama and Samuli Kemppi’s ‘Arabia EP’ that came out on Perc Trax last month. If you was impressed by that then you’ll discover similar feelings when listening to this one too.
Hailing from Stoke and fusing influences of experimental music with a wealth of techno knowledge from the UK and Berlin sounds to create something that is different and exciting, when lined up against your run of the mill attempts at industrial techno.The release is out on Beatport now and will be in vinyl stores imminently. More info on Perc Trax can be found on their Facebook Pan Page

Slash Dot Dash Podcast 006: Kenneth Christiansen
On Friday 8th July we invited Echocord Records boss, Kenneth Christiansen, to London for a special 3 hour set in our favourite former Victorian toilet, Public Life. He duly obliged and arrived with a box full of records and a smile on his face. We had our recorder handy and these are the results!
An hours snippet from the set will be added to our iTunes podcast later on this week but for the full 2 hours and 50 mins you want the soundcloud link above.

Cassegrain - Dropa EP [Prologue 021]
Here at Slash Dot Dash we’re big fans of Prologue, tracks from the label can be found on both of XI’s SDD Podcasts, but for some reason we’ve never covered any of their releases. Until now anyway.
Released last week is the Dropa EP from Cassegrain. A quality 3 tracker of droning minimalist styled techno. All 3 tracks brilliant yet different. Luban is a chugger, Eub is more driving and Lop-Nor is deep and atmospheric. Check out the samples below.
The release is available in all good record stores now so go get it. More info on Cassegrain can be found on the Facebook Fan Page or you can start following them on Twitter
Mix Of The Day: Mike Parker - CLR Podcast 123 (4th Jul 11)
To celebrate the 4th July yesterday CLR invited a very talented American to mix up this weeks podcast, Mike Parker. The DJ / Producer / owner of Geophone Records fits all that in while at the same time being an artist as well as a teacher of art.
As a producer his music has been released on labels such as Prologue, Aquaplano and more. But it’s his DJ talents that he’s showcasing with this Podcast and they sure are mighty. Download the mix from the link below.
Tracklisting
There’s plenty of our favourites within the tracklisting so before you’ve even started listening, you know it’s going to be special. More info on Mike Parker can be found on his Facebook Page. We’re pretty sure after listening to this that you’re going to want to see him play live, so if you happen to be in Berlin on the 8th October you’ll have the chance to catch him at the Prologue label night at Berghain.

Rrose - Primary Evidence [Sandwell District 016]
After the release of ‘Feed Forward’ and all the various sampler discs that have accompanied it, it’s about time we had something new from the Sandwell District camp. The 16th release sees a new artist joining the collaborative project, Rrose. I’d love to tell you loads of info about the artists but very little is known about them. If I find more info, I’ll let you know.
You’ll just have to take a listen to the tracks for yourself and let the music do all the talking
The EP is out in all the usual stores now so go out and buy one

Mix Of The Day: Perc Live On Dommune (23rd Jun 11)
For those of you who aren’t aware of Dommune, it’s a website run in Tokyo, Japan and streams audio and visual across the web.
It may come as a big surprise to some of you, but I’m not a big fan of Dommune. Yes I know they feature some of the very best techno artists in the world. The likes of Shed, Sandwell District, Surgeon (and probably some other artists that don’t begin with the letter S) etc and of course Perc. What’s not to love I hear you ask? The problem I have is, that they book all these incredible artists and put them on during the London daytime when I’m at work and can’t tune in!
Thankfully Perc has done the decent thing and recorded his set to share to the world through the wonders of soundcloud. You might not get to see him in action, but you’ll get to hear what he did, and that’s the most exciting part.
For those of you in Tokyo tonight Perc will be doing a special 3 hour set for the Drone ‘Perc Trax Vs. Blank Records’ Party @ Module. Full event info can be found on Resident Advisor

Video: Stroboscopic Artefacts Showcase @ Sonar
We’re gutted we missed Sonar this year, especially the Strobosopic Artefacts, and as is always the case with the SA boys, they didn’t waste time in getting some video evidence of the amazing party up on the old t’interweb.
The showcase saw performances from Lucy and Dadub as they display their considerable talents. Check out the quick video

Mix Of The Day: Ryan Elliott - fabric Promo Mix
fabric have been providing me with plenty of blogger fodder of late, but I’m not complaining. A special promo vid for Craig Richards fabric 58 CD, a mix from Jerome Sydenham and now a mix from Ryan Elliott.
In his own words “ this mix is a little different for me - its bpm’s are a little slower, the tracks play a little longer, the mixes ride longer, its moody and sexy in that late night / early morning way. There is even some non 4/4 stuff at the beginning. As with all my sets, it contains some new tracks, some old tracks, and some special edits.”
Check out the mix on the Slash Dot Dash Blog
