About this item

Mysticisms present the 2nd in the series of Persian remix EPs, following the bumping dubby house remakes from Picasso, the label is joined by Yorkshire’s own young electronic folklore master, a fast-rising name, Miles J Paralysis.

Whereas Picasso took the first dubplate ‘Space Within Art’, here Miles J delves in to the follow up ‘Smoke Dub’, turning out a selection of dubwise cuts that build on the dark electronic foundations of his excellent debut releases for his own Crying Outcast label.

Yorkshire born and based, with a love for the moors, as well as the teachings of lore, magick and mysticism, this young producer has been emersed in music since a young age, with a penchant for dub, hip-hop and reggae.

Starting with 'Survival Dub', the anthemic 'Ragga Dub' original morphs into 2 parts, first heading down Paralysis’s alley of dark and brooding production, marrying perfect touches of the vocal samples, before the amen break blasts the track into the light.

'Smoke Mari' follows, the languid digibreaks chugger, utilizing Linval Thompson’s iconic vocals, now coming as a deep meditative dub excursion. Stripped back to a raw essence, the vocals whirl, while hypnotic keys and dub bass complete the psychedelic mosaic.

'There Is No Love' inna modern dub style; off beat syncopation, reverb, tape delays and heavy vocal sampling all in the mix. The breakbeats of the original are jettisoned for a dub-drug-chug, the atmospherics seeking the dark corners. “These are the last days; can’t you see the sunshine…”

'Zatoichi’s Troubles' ends the pack, the trip hop, depth charge dub bass cut transforms at the mixing desk of Miles J in to dub techno territory, haunting & melodic. Miles J’s love of the deeper side of electronic music expanded. Strictly for the more discerning nightclub freaks.
