THIRTEEN_DUBS

[ THIRTEEN_DUBS - NINE ]

After the last episode, recorded live during a long, hot night, I landed back home. A new-old UREI 1603, two new-old 1200s, and I’m reaching for thirteen of my favourite records from the shelf. I just let myself drift, night became morning and morning became day.

This is the ninth episode of THIRTEEN_DUBS. What began as a spontaneous idea is slowly taking shape. I’m looking forward to seeing – and, above all, hearing – how it all develops.

Love and thanks to the artists and labels for their passion, hard work, and everything they do.

[ THIRTEEN_DUBS - EIGHT ]

This eighth episode is a bit different from the rest of the series so far. It’s a live recording of the end of an eleven-hour b2b session held for a Midsummer Night’s wedding. It was a great pleasure to share this day with everyone, to take them on a journey and, at the same time, to accompany them on their journey. Admittedly, my concentration slipped a bit - it was a damn hot day and a really loooong session - but the vibe that night was amazing. Enjoy.

[ THIRTEEN_DUBS - SEVEN ]

Money is ruling, but love rules over everything – these are wild times, let love flourish, come together, dance, connect, have fun and kick ass.

As mentioned in Episode 4, https://soundcloud.com/mdmkz/thirteen_dubs-four, I’d had the idea of putting together a mix using only tracks from the Echocord catalogue. Episode 4 ended up being an Echocord Colour mix. I’ve now selected thirteen tracks from the Echocord catalogue for this mix – it wasn’t easy to narrow it down to just that many. So there’s bound to be another mix featuring only Echocord tracks at some point.

A special heart with love goes out to Echocord for the music and to the artists. Will there be a 100th release this year? I’m curious and already looking forward to more great music. <3

[ THIRTEEN_DUBS - SIX ]

With this sixth volume of THIRTEEN_DUBS, I'm now really creating a calmer, more ambient mix.

I just went with the flow and created contrasting as well as buttery smooth moments in my ears, a little freer, more experimental, all for listening pleasure and a journey into spring.

Love and thanks to the artists for their music and the feelings it evokes.

[ THIRTEEN_DUBS - FIVE ]

For this fifth volume of THIRTEEN_DUBS, I took a more relaxed approach to browsing through my record collection. I attempted to create a calmer, more ambient mix—though the result ended up more varied than intended.

I needed three attempts to get it right. The first take had glitches from the recording system, the needle skipped several times, and I wasn't satisfied with the track order. I cleaned the needles, improved the setup, and reordered the tracks. The second attempt had a noticeable difference in volume between the left and right channels, along with background noise from the mixing desk. So I removed the console from the signal chain. The third take worked. All good things come in threes. Each recording had its own unique characteristics and transitions that cannot be exactly replicated, which is a bit of a bummer, as there were some beautiful transitions. The way is the destination.

Love to the artists for their music.

[ THIRTEEN_DUBS - FOUR ]

For this fourth volume of THIRTEEN_DUBS, I set out to use exclusively records from the Echocord Colour catalog. Originally, I had the idea for the parent label Echocord, but I ended up with the child first. And, oops, Brendon Moeller appears four times in this mix — as Brendon Moeller, Echologist, and Beat Pharmacy. A small homage, then, definitely to Echocord Colour and its aesthetic. The sound goes harder and more techno here — deep, minimal, and driving, with the Echocord Colour catalog pushing into darker territories.

I played everything on vinyl again, except for the intro, which I admittedly added afterwards. The effects chain and analog setup remained as usual.

I hope you enjoy the journey through the colorful world of Echocord Colour.

Thanks to the artists for the inspiration.

[ THIRTEEN_DUBS - THREE ]

This third volume of THIRTEEN_DUBS was born in the depths of winter, when I tried my hand at making a dub mix for the first time. Drawing from the deep well of classic dub — King Tubby, Lee Perry, Keith Hudson, and the sounds of Black Ark and Wackie's — I explored echo, reverb, and space with a new intro. I hope you like it, and I'm always open to criticism.

All tracks were played exclusively on vinyl for that authentic analog warmth. I sent the individual channels through my effects chain — Modfactor, Timefactor and Space — and processed them with the HP filter of my Xone42. Behind the effects chain sits an RNC1773 to prevent level loss. Everything then went to the studio master, from where it passed through a Boum into the interface.

The technology is one thing, the music selection another. So I hope you enjoy it — a little sunshine for cold winter days.

Thanks to the artists for the inspiration.

[ THIRTEEN_DUBS - TWO ]

This second volume of THIRTEEN_DUBS was born under the late summer sun.

It began as a set I played at a close friends’ gathering in early September — full of warmth, smiles, and low-end frequencies drifting through the open air. Afterwards, I reworked and recorded it onto tape as a gift for my girlfriend — a little love letter in sound. Now, I’m happy to share it with you too.

THIRTEEN_DUBS is a space for exploring deep, dubby vinyl sounds — and this chapter continues the journey, embracing meditative grooves, hazy textures, and soulful basslines.

Once again, all tracks were played exclusively on vinyl. Recorded in one take, no edits — routed through my full analog chain for weight, warmth, and presence.

Much love to those who shape these deep frequencies.

[ THIRTEEN_DUBS ]

Carefully selected from my latest vinyl collection, this mix features 13 deep, dub-infused techno tracks. Sit down, relax, or stand up and dance.

It’s the first installment in a new series I’m starting called THIRTEEN_DUBS — a space for sharing fresh vinyl gems with friends and fellow music lovers.

This first volume is a gentle introduction — just me exploring how it all comes together. Looking forward to sharing more soon, so stay tuned!

All tracks were played exclusively on vinyl for that authentic analog warmth, routed through my Studiomaster console and processed with my effect chain for extra depth and atmosphere.

Big thanks to all the artists and labels making this sound possible.
