Jens schickte mir die Tage den Link zum aktuellen Podcast-Mix von Headphone Commute. Er besteht einzig aus den Produktionen von Brock Van Wey aka bvdub und wurde von Saimon Saimonse gemixt.
In der Woche ist der vielleicht beste Ambient und tiefste Dubtechno der Welt mitunter etwas zu wenig, aber an einem Sonntagabend, an dem alle schon im Bette liegen und das Wochenende auch kurz davor steht, es denen gleich zu tun, kann ich mir den ganz wunderbar geben. Wie ein sanfter Flug durch vernebelte Täler an einem Sommermorgen. Herrlich.
So Saimon Saimonse is a little bit obsessed with bvdub – but who isn’t it? Brock Van Wey is more than a prolific artist, with more than a handful of albums per year under many monikers – he is a shaman weaving sonic landscapes that are just as beautiful as they are hypnotizing. It’s easy to drown in the trance-inducing waves of sound, light-churning beats, bass, and the trailing melodies that seem to go on forever, only to be ached for after they stop. And so, it’s easy to agree with Saimonse’s selection for this 90-minute podcast, which I am broadcasting from my hotel in London. In fact, on the way back from my quick weekend getaway in Prague, I boarded the plane, put on this lovely mix, closed my eyes, and when it was over, I was back in London. A fine trip in the company of a favorite artist!
