OUT NOW on SOUK: Ross Alexander - Memorias Vol.2, Live Dub Versions (digital only) Coming in around the 80/160bpm mark and drenched in spatial effect, the pieces take in bassed out drones, smeared late night dub-scape, warped jungle and blunted half time steppers. A refracted UK bass music influence is clear to hear as is reference to various tribalistic industrial-dub projects from the 90s to the present day and the unmistakable spectre of Bryn Jones’ Muslimgauze - as was indeed the case on the Memorias vol.2 track ‘Homage To The Cause’ itself a direct tribute to the work of Muslimgauze. Despite their bass heavy nature these tracks remain as much about the underlaying soundscapes and atmospheres as the beats themselves. Each of the pieces is thickly layered with ghostly recordings and haunted tones echoing from the distance and serve much as the original Memorias vol.2 record did to present some form of an abstracted sonic travelogue, only this time as if you were walking through a Maghrebi night market or an abandoned Atlas mountain Kasbah listening to a jungle mixtape on broken headphones. #discrepant #souk #soukrecords #rossalexander #memorias #industrial #jungle #paywhatyouwant #bandcamp #digital https://www.instagram.com/p/CBGA-HKpnDM/?igshid=1u62e1z7nzh9t
