A little background I think. While randomly shuffling through myspace I managed to flit across Dub Kult's page, besides having a particularly phat mix on it, a little bit of link surfing led to me uncovering a complete GEM of a record label. Found Sound and Unfound Sound Records.
Found Sound has some tip top 12"s (label owner Someone Else has found his way into the sets of the likes of Digweed, just check out the Tranmissions mix series) plus really good quality mp3s to buy from Kompakt. What got my interest perked was the flipside, Unfound Sound. Let me let the blurb from the website take over for a second:
"welcome to our netlabel! unfoundsound aims to distribute dj-friendly audio files (high quality 256kbps mp3 files, and perfect lossless flac files) at no charge under a "creative commons music sharing license" (click below for more info). through monthly releases, unfoundsound offers worldwide exposure to promising new artists as well as established artists from around the globe. in addition, unfoundsound provides a series of free downloadable field recordings (the unfields) available to everyone for creative sampling, musical composition and whatever your fuzzy, little heart desires. enjoy! the (un)foundsound crew."
So unable to resist salivating at the thought of grabbing some quality FLACs, I quickly hoovered up what was on offer. And to be honest, there is plenty of shit hot material there! What better way to pay homage to these wonderful tracks than to release them into their natural habitat, a Widgemix. A few swift flashes of the mouse later and we have a showcase of some of the Phatness that is from Unfound Sound.
The mix has my usual deep intro with the very City Centre Offices sounding Monta but don't let this lure you into a false sense of security, Tleiaxu shifts up the gears with the introduction of some really dubby 4/4 beats ... from there its a journey through the stark and dark minimal sound that we're loving so much at the moment, just feel the flow of Cedric Eteocle through to the awesome tech of Diss0nance. Proper foot-tapping at Fabric stuff that.
Of course far be it for me to just remain on one level for the entire mix, proceedings are polished off in true cosmic style from the very Border Community-esque mix of Barem's Undo by Jorge Savoretti and a little blend up of some nice floaty tech from Agnes. And where we finish is where we started, gorgeous synths in the City Centre Offices style from Fidget (but not Widget). Ambience and out.
