Gated Recordings Podcast 71

**Tracklist below description**

Yes, we’re back again. No, we haven’t learned anything.

This month we hand things over to Gabi Von Dub, a man who has spent the last 26 years behind the decks, which is long enough to have seen entire genres rise, fall, get rediscovered, renamed and then put back on vinyl for three times the price. Through all of that, he’s remained firmly locked into the electronic music continuum, still approaching it like there might be something new hiding in there if you just keep digging.

His sets move between full-pressure dancefloor material and more introspective, head-down moments, the kind of long-form selections that suggest both patience and a reluctance to leave the booth. From late-night propulsion to early morning reset, it’s all handled with the confidence of someone who’s been doing this longer than most USB sticks have existed.

Gabi’s been involved with labels and parties including Womblabel, Arctic Dub Records, Andrómeda, Question of Time and Elements, which reads less like a CV and more like a list of places where something slightly serious probably happened at 4am. He’s also released music under the name Augen on labels such as Moátún 7, Mighty Force, MiMi, AMPEFF and Neo Ouija, all of which points to a long-standing commitment to machines, ideas and not getting bored.

What he delivers here is a proper techno session. No shortcuts, no sudden lurches into something ironic, just a steady unfolding of groove, texture and pressure. A mix that assumes you’re paying attention, but doesn’t complain if you’re not.

Before the mix gets underway there’s the usual nod to what’s happening in the Gated orbit. Things are moving, noises are being made, and it's all coinciding with the release of an immense new EP from Paul Hierophant 'The Elder Gods' - Please head over to our bandcamp to check the whole EP, it will be available by now - https://gatedrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/the-elder-gods

Then it’s over to Gabi to take control and do what he’s been doing for the past two and a half decades. Settle in.

As ever, thanks for listening, and thanks to Gabi for reminding us that consistency, patience and a slightly unreasonable amount of time spent with electronic music can, in fact, pay off.
