SubVersion Stop 295: For Electronic Subverts 016

SubVersion Stop 295 For Electronic Subverts 016 "When people believe in boundaries they become part of them". ~ Don Cherry, jazz trumpeter. Wednesday 17th September 2025 Subvert Central introduced me to many books, and genres of formatted technology. One of the key areas of discussion, as I learned from many Subverts, is the simplified, dnb language equivalent 'suitable for the dance floor and the headphones'. Book threads, music threads - even the simplification of the 'thread' term - see FaceBook, Meta, Threads, Twitter [X] Google Search - also gave the feeling that another title, name, genre of a subject of quality tunage, is not necessarily a bad thing, not irrelevant. I like to think truly clever saved the truly clever. As dodz and Macc quoted from jazz - dodz with Charles Mingus: "making the complex simple, that's creative!" - Macc and Don Cherry [the jazz man, not the fighter] quote "this true compassion will last in one's heart and soul forever". [Even my paraphrasing]. Making things work, just like 'Be Like Water' which quotes Bruce Lee 'be like water, my friend', and a quality dnb track in the process. https://www.google.com/search?q=be+like+water+quotes&oq=be+like Such wisdom makes me truly grateful that, as ever, boundaries are not always broken by acknowledging them. The following three artists, producers, musicians, labels were discovered by me reading recommendations on SC, researching for my ambient threads on SC, and getting into why SC music taste is so varied, and regularly, whichever sites and members are still around, so good to read. 1 The Ramona Flowers Made By Humans Distiller Records label Released 10th October 2025 https://open.spotify.com/prerelease/01JiBI4fPteQvlkxGd5LeE?si=14OuXg9TSG20mF_x1hO8Ng Indie disco: really? Bent's music was termed daftronica outside of work such as 'Swollen', a Cafe Del Mar staple, and 'Private Road' an electronic music favourite. Indie music created a stitch between rock music and punk, possibly inventing post everything in the process. The Ramona Flowers might be indie disco, their soundscape is however reasoned like an avalanche of quarter tones, slipping positively into a multifaceted memoria masonry grid, where Twister takes us up the wall, to gaze at the oasis beyond. 2 Michael Northam Stochastic Embroidery Taalem label Released 15th September 2025 https://taalem.bandcamp.com/album/stochastic-embroidery-alm-147 Pacific of Subvert Central, who worked with the Urban Decay alternative musics promotion, was going to write an essay on 'Stochastic Principles In Electronic Music' for The Dastardly Diaries before the year 2014. I begun searching for musique concrete information based on his amazing gabba, Goa trance and power electronics listens. This Is none of them. However, it is my favourite record released this year in 2025 [for favourite track, check out hip hop and rap self Titled CD by Kae Tempest, and the track 'Breathe', 2025]. Motions of an ocean coated in scintillating sunset. 3 Janealle Monae Age Of Pleasure Released 9th June 2023 https://open.spotify.com/album/3440hCSfwYXxJcbQ0j3jAJ?si=4qWBx9A1TeqFttZaNLp8fg Another SC member musician recommendation. Nominated for a Grammy, I believe, Janealle Monae. This music is soul serrated and ferret fast. It speaks not a musical language, but how soul music may have invented scat singing before jazz, and the ad lib before hip hop. Lyrics like nunchucks, sounds of a post J, K, and Balie Funk pop connected together. I haven't heard the accumulator bebop sound like this since Busdriver 'Temporary Forever'. "When people believe in boundaries they become part of them". ~ Don Cherry. Next week, another set of three subversive music recommendations. Christmas is approaching, so get your entries in for the End Of Year Chart 2025, collated by me, MuttleySV.

This eight weeks [2 months], July 9th to September 9th, 2025. [...] Not giving up, moving into future. Reading, reading, part philistine. So I had to write some of it up on the blog.

Teases, dnb style, cut ups, scratch deejay style, double drops, quick record reggae flips, you name it, have their foundations in musical, amusical, and ultimately, three-dimensional [3D] reality. Holding back, stepping back, getting out the way, avoiding the engage, is not an antithesis to this, just a lightweight alternative. And how we need lightness these days. I'm really glad to be alive however and I'm looking forward to a forward future, seeing some pals in the great outdoors.

CD Vinyl Polydor label Interscope Recordings label Released 2019 Genre: Songs Long Player [LP] Mixes I've got a lot of time for a lot of albums. Sometimes, before listening to new mailing list and record items, I subvert my musical tastes and combine two complimentary records together. Then three. Sometimes four to five [check Algiversal Mix 2, 'Busdriver And The Bustling Sounds Of Mr ShaoDow Mix' as a SubVersion blog example [2009]. But what The Fifteen Minutes Of Fame Mix Series - referencing Andy Warhol and his movement tag - as well as the Pop Art movement - was going to be called: Little Mix - was already designed to be, at the time - a platinum selling girl group. These days, 2 track, 3 track mixes, and 2 LP, 3Lp mixes, are easier to make with the advent of deejaying equipment combined with radio receivers and streaming services. Sometimes they clash, and that's where I work with equalisers. Sometimes they are out of key as well. But it is fascinating. LP Mixes..

'Don't think about all those things you fear, just be glad to be here' ~ Hafdis Huld, vocalist on 'Hayling', with FC Kahuna.

Bandcamp DL 
Released December 9th 2019

The sentiments of simplicity can last a lifetime, just like one plus one equals two. These detailed, intriguing mixes benefit from straightforward unravelling of gravitational fear - steady pulses of dance music - regulated with tiny, harmonic and assuring timbral details that are complex to the ear at first - through a energetic and stable trance and techno style - and keep their posture interesting and steady. There are rarely lapses of concentration in dance floor tracks. 'Hayling Remixes' safely stands up through a deceptive post Underworld intrigue: quality tracks, and as Carbon Based Lifeforms wrote as a track title: held together by gravity.

It sure is good knowing dnb labels like Metalheadz. The Blue Note, Speed and Raindance era of clubs and crossover raves kept a label with a friendly sound, appreciated by heads enjoying the dance, just as with these Vip [very important person] mixes, basslines that drew many to the jungle and dnb genres after continuums branched out, with a history of dubs, British ghetto blasters - brilliantly adapted to the times.

Beauty Becomes The Enemy Of The Future
Cathedral Transmissions label 
Released December 22nd 2009
Limited Edition CD + Book
Bandcamp DL Poster Print

Classical music, from sources, although with a solid fan base since the millennium year, is a word that is tied to the rhythm of adversity. Modern classical, neo classical, post classical, can give the technical thought of a non hectored continuum - a progression based upon a digression, sounds relevant to something, so they say something - but are sounds that sometimes contrast, rather than compliment. Ambience and classical records, although commonly sold in the United Kingdom [UK], are objectively thought of as strange objects - ambient and classical are rarely viewed to go together. Antonymes 'Beauty Becomes The Enemy Of The Future', released in 2009 as a CD Photos and artwork artifact book, has tones and textures that, although connecting beauty and nemesis subjectifications in part and parting in sound, is a example of looking back so that the future becomes a friend of the present. 

Bandcamp writes: 

'Antonymes music emerges through the adjustments and erasures where music addresses nothing but itself, from the relationship between continuity and repetition rather than of contract and interplay, from secrecy, from quietness, from pause, from thought, from emptiness, from time, from far off, from itself, from where it is set and from where it is setting off to.'

Have a wonderful week.
