Persian Meets Picasso (12")

Mysticisms' Dubplate series reaches number 10 with the first in a series of specials, taking the genre blurring music of Persian (Peter Rilley) and presenting updated remixes and versions by up-and-coming producers, as well as friends and family of the label.

Started as a sporadic offshoot of Mysticisms' main releases, with the idea to highlight the wonderful sounds of dub influenced dance music, Dubplate has now become an integral part of the mission.

To start, South London's Picasso joins the label, showcasing his declared abstract grooves and an EP of Dub and Tech House movers. While his productions aim for the dance floor, they are often characterized by complex rhythms and unconventional structures, prioritizing atmosphere and texture over traditional melodies.

Drawing inspiration from ambient, jazz, experimental influences and the heavy hand of dub, Sam has crafted an EP of immersive "soundscapes". Joining the legendary Persian as co-selector, his retakes are all warped grooves, wide bass and dubby atmospherics.
