URB rang up Jack Dangers in his longtime San Francisco home/studio shortly before the release of his latest album Answers Come in Dreams (Metropolis Records, October 12) to discuss gear collecting, political pigs, the best way for emerging producers to get his attention, what keeps MBM going after almost 25 years and how a socialist Brit from Swindon became one of the locals in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Sonically unwrapping an Autechre album is a delicate, overwhelming and sometimes unnerving process — so why should an Ae mixtape be any different?
In anticipation of their March 2010 album, Oversteps, the duo of Rob Brown and Sean Booth have released a DJ mix for Fact Magazine. “No tracklist either, so spotters, please do you worst.”
Alright, I did.
Covered in manipulated, over-and-under-saturated, tempo-nudging production, MC’s such as Sensational, Guilty Simpson, Ultramagnetic MC’s, Q-Tip and Percee P meet undulating electro, early ’90s breaks, a reworking of Meat Beat Manifesto’s “Radio Babylon” , throbbing squelch ‘n’ bass and a gamut of plug-in tweaks; that is, subjecting the majority of the tracks to the same unraveling processes that make Ae’s oeuvre so distinct.
Note: may contain traces of new Autechre works (pay attention after the extended cut and paste Black Metal segment).
Hurry, …
