Deadbeat – Radio Rothko

Deadbeat says of this mix:

"It was a mix that I'd had on my mind for many years, a sort of comprehensive over view of the dub techno sound that would really give people some insight into the breadth of tone and colour that exists within this quite rigidly conservative creative framework, and also how long it's been going on for.

Of course there were some tracks and artists who I felt were crucial to include that didn't make it on to the mix for licensing reasons (I wanted to kill someone when Porter Ricks got reissued a couple months ago for example), but generally it still feels like I achieved some semblance of my initial goals with it."

I want to report that is circulating on Discogs sealed versions on CD-r of Deadbeat - Radio Rothko. Be careful and ask before you buy this cd.

As the other comments have stated, this is an exceptional dub-tech mix by one of the biggest names in the genre. Deadbeat touches on all of the key players, including more than a few from the innovative Basic Channel/Chain Reaction camp, and current favourites like DeepChord and Intrusion. I like the inclusion of 2562's "Redux," too, because it provides a nice rhythmic break, and is an example of how dub-tech can influence dubstep with great results. My only complaint is that there's hardly any come-down at the end of the mix; it slowly builds, peaks, eases off a bit, then peaks again with "Reverberation" and "Deep Structure" right at the end. With about 10:00 of space left on the disc I would have preferred a slower finish, but honestly, that's a small quibble when dealing with a mix as well-executed as this. Absolutely essential for any fan of dub-tech and deep, minimal techno.

The mix-flow is extremely good. Excellent track programming, feeling very natural.
Keeps me moving from beginning till end; no annoying moments. Dub pace like it should.
Will make me smile at every spin. :-)) Thanks Deadbeat!

After nearly 5 years of listening to this I must admit, this mix is close to perfection. And by saying that I really mean perfection. And hey, this is basically a dubtech only mix on CD. You heard many of them? This makes it even more badass. One of the most-often-listened-to cds in my collection. Dub tech from all sides of view, dub-zen at its finest. This CD is inspiration.

P.S. Please check out the extended and deep essay by Philip Sherbourne in a booklet. It's another reason to buy this CD. Thank you Philip and thank you Scott.

Pure pleasure! I love this Remix album!

This is one of the best records I've bought in the past year, or more. Just marvelous. Run, don't walk.

This is some serious dub-tech groovy funk that makes your mind-body link. Excellent mix!

What a mix!
What I really like is that the mix never leaves the dub-tech genre.
Usually DJ's shift to techno or (worse even) dubstep.

A great selection of artists, avoiding the obvious picks.
Personal highlight: M06A vs Reverberation... Wow!
