Create Haunting Dub Techno using Noise

US Video and in-depth article on Basic Channel inspired soundscapes      21/11/24

We shared some links to some classic Dub Techno albums in this post earlier this year - and if you're interested in making some of your own, this video and accompanying article make a great set of resources. The video chronicles the birth of Dub Techno and its relationship to the theory of Hauntology - which translates to the ghostly sounds embedded within the genre. Brilliant stuff, I'm not sure you'll find a better articulation of and blueprint for the genre.

Here's the abstract from his article:

This  article  explores  dub  techno's  history  and  sonic  characteristics,  focusing  on  the  role of noise as a critical stylistic element. It introduces hauntology as a hermeneutic framework  to  understand  the  intricate  function  of  noise  within  the  genre.  This  interpretive paradigm elevates noise beyond mere auditory embellishments, imbuing it  with  significant  philosophical  resonance.  The  article  presents  a  chronological  exegesis  of  dub  techno's  evolution  and  positions  it  as  a  conduit  for  philosophical  contemplation. It highlights the enigmatic aesthetic essence of noise, urging readers to  reevaluate  its  role  in  dub  techno  and  electronic  dance  music.  The  objective  is  to  offer insights and promote understanding, encouraging readers to engage with noise as a key component of philosophical and aesthetic discourse in dub techno
