Ital Tek Exclusive Mix (Podcast)

Ital Tek

Exclusive Mix


Alan Myson’s a producer that resembles a chameleon at times; under the guise of Ital Tek, he is constantly shifting his sound to keep the same atmospherics as his previous tunes, with his previous landmark releases “Blood Line”, “Deep Pools” and 2009 LP Midnight Colour all maintaining his love for the spacey and mysterious.

With his latest EP, Gonga, on Planet Mu, Myson explores the worlds of faster tempos, immersing himself in his own style of 160-BPM related calamity. Footwork is an obvious influence but his drum sounds, his structures are all a reversion to the singular sounds of past Ital Tek releases. Maybe that’s why everything he makes is still damn good. Ital Tek is always looking into the future, as evident in our small interview down below, but as of right now, he delivers URB an excellent and crafty mix in tempos that makes us want to get in that circle and see what we’re made of. Check out the interview, tracklist and mix after the jump.

He’s abandoned the dancefloor on this album, and his music is hard to describe; inventive descriptions like glitchstep or slowrave comes to mind. Opener and lead single "Cloudlight," is an epic and dark showcase in slow, moody and organic fragments of splashy, bubbly dub and Angelides' own monotone vocals over ...

URB Presents: Optimum (Exclusive Mix + Q/A) (MP3)

More Planet Mu goodness, as always. 

It seems like you can never run of out good music from the peeps at Planet Mu; already on a terrific tear with a bevy of footwork and juke releases, they’ve let out a nice little chunk of brilliant bass with Optimum’s debut 12″, Max Power. Highlighting melodic structures and inventive drum patterns, the release is one of many things in the pipeline. With another 12″ out on his collaborative imprint, Hum + Buzz (which he runs with URB favourite Ikonika) as well as putting out other artists on the label such as Brenmar and the dubious J.O.H, he’s going to be kept busy for quite a while. Luckily, we had a bit of time to ask him some questions as well as get a brilliant mix of pretty much exclusive dubs and upcoming floor-crushers. Check out the Q/A and mix (including tracklist and D/L link) after the jump.
