From the illustrious Ninja Tune stable comes this exclusive “deep, jazzy voyage” from none other than Zero dB. Neil Combstock and Chris Vogado deliver a classical jazzed out mix composed of truths with funky baselines and a good smattering of hats. Hit play to start your transmission.
We interrogate them a little:
The mix was recorded 27 Jan 2012 at my studio in Durham City Centre using Traktor Scratch Pro.
Deep, Jazzy, Voyage
Zero dB came about at the start of the millennium when myself and Chris (Vogado) had finished building our recording studio we had in London. ‘Come Party’ was the first track we made in the new studio and kind of defined our sound right from the start.
It doesn’t really exist anymore, I moved to Tokyo about 5 years ago and Chris moved to Barcelona, we have our own studios now, I’ve just completed building one in Durham and Chris still has his studio in Barcelona. Technology has helped immensely, we can still work together and send stuff backwards and forwards to each other, we still managed to work together when I was in Tokyo and he was in Barcelona, but got together for 6 months to put finishing touches to the last album we did (‘Bongos, Bleeps and Basslines’).
Probably the Sun Ra remix we did with Gilles Peterson. We were asked to do the remix after the success of the Suba remix we did (‘Samba do Gringo’) and we’re given some original tapes from Sun Ra recordings. We then thought it would be a great idea to ask Gilles if he wanted to get involved in the project knowing how much of a Sun Ra fan he is. He came down to the studio with a case of Sun Ra records he’d collected over the years. We used all sorts of crazy sounds and it ended up being the first track on our Reconstruction compilation we released on Fluid Ounce.
We’ll have to wait and see, I’m still always working on new stuff (eg. The Oki Bass, the first track on the DJ mix) and chris is too, we need to get enough ideas together to say, OK, we’ve got enough stuff to release as an album now, I don’t know when that will be though.

Soul Clap is Elyte and Cynce who bring to us their sonic adventures around the universe. Before their debut gig this Friday 20 Jan at Zouk‘s Velvet Underground in Singapore, the Berlin duo blesses us with a mini interview and this mix live from Miami’s The Electric Pickle. Listen during odd hours, after hours, sometime out of time and cling onto the vibe for a spaceship ride with a grin.
We interrogate them a little:
This set was recorded in July 2011 at our residency at the Electric Pickle in Miami. We always use 2 turntables and 2 cdjs when we perform. Lots of vinyl, no computers!
We’ve basically been resident DJs at the Pickle for over a year so it really feels like home when we play there. This set was in the middle of the summer so we played a bunch of sweaty, sticky jams and of course tried to go on a journey…
Islands, rain forests and durians. Oh and we heard its really clean!
We play as long they let us play
2012 has been great so far. From beach parties at BPM festival in Mexico to friends’ weddings we’ve had some fun, but mostly been chilling at home in Miami. Singapore is where we really kick off our musical year!
This is a live recorded set.
No tracklist available.

Winning fans over one mix at a time, Germany’s Patrick Zigon does it again with a gleaming deep diving mix chartering untravelled waters to emerge with precious sonic pearls and dimes. We can almost proclaim that going deep is going up. Bravo!
I recorded this mix in my “Traumraum” studio in southern germany. I work with Traktor and Timecode-Vinyls. I play records since 1996, so i still need the vinyl-feeling in my hands ;-)
The mix shows the kind of music i love and play in clubs where people like innovative sound. Deep and hypnotic tracks from different genres such as deep house and dub techno.
Mathew Jonson – Dayz [Crosstwon Rebels]
Marc DePulse – Lessons In Dub [Ostwind]
Patrick Zigon – Black Out feat. Paulo Olarte (Himan Remix) [Danza Macabra]
Yeah sure i thought about it. A few years ago i’ve been pretty sure to move there. But i love the place where i’m living. Constance is a small beautiful city near to switzerland and austria, with a big beautiful lake. It’s an important inspiration for me, so at the moment there is no need to move there.
2011 i started some interesting projects and collaborations. Next releases are the amazing second remix pack of my album “The Alpha State” and a collaboration EP on Tanzbar Musik called “With A Bigly Help Of My Friends EP” with Martin Eyerer, Todd Bodine, Louis Osbourne etc. 2012 i will start my label and will tour the globe, so enough things to do ;-)

An introspective mix from the island of Réunion. Smooth operator Vincent Corvec flows from classic hip hop to disco and funk in laid-back fashion, where the fish are jumping and the living easy. Slow it down, slide in ”The Syllogisme of Foreplay”.
On September the 3rd, in my apartment in Réunion Island. I kept the mix with me for 3 months to distress it and make it taste like oak-aged wine. I have recorded simply using a laptop and a midi-controller. I’m not a technician but I rather do a good mix with midi than a bad one with turntables. I try to find the best wav re-edits of every track, to be faithful to the whole emotion of the original.
It’s a slow one. We begin around 90 bpm and stop under 110. It’s a mingling of old classics and brand new songs so I decided to create a meeting place for them. They’re 10 tracks that I enjoy listening by myself or with friends; some kind of a soulful set you can listen for the aperitif and chill-out. If this podcast had a name, it will be “The Syllogisme of Foreplay”.
“Roseland N.Y. Live” – Portishead
“Poison” – Jay Jay Johanson
“Surrender” – the Chemical Brothers
“Paris Sous les Bombes” – N.T.M.
“Histoire de Melody Nelson” – Serge Gainsbourg
Réunion is the island I partially grew up and where I’m living. It is in the Indian Ocean, between Madagascar and Mauritius. The motto is “Florebo Quocumque Ferar” or “I’ll bloom everywhere I’ll be”. But images speak louder than words so check the video below:
I wish I will be able to let go.
