Tyler Hanel - Sometime - An excellent vinyl mix of tech-dub originating from the Berlin school of roots revivalism. The dense and moody textures of Rhythm & Sound coalesce with early Model 500, and further into works on dub-ridden labels like Raum Musik and Tikiman's False Tuned. Blaze's "Lovlee Dae" struck me as an especially lovlee surprise today.
Jeffery Mac - The Subtle Energies - Here's a mix that serves to put the highly contested art of digital mixing into a comfortable status quo. Jeffery leaves no stone unturned, not forgetting to pay homage to the genius of earlier techno visionaries like Vainqueur, and churns out a mesmerizing mix of some of the most brilliant cuts in recent memory.
