Futurism Restated Mixes Digest #7: Dub Dreams and Well-Oiled Machines

12 varied sets for summer moods

My wife and daughter are out of town this week, and I had high hopes of doing some DJing in my office. That, alas, has not come to pass; between cleaning the house, walking the dog, tending the garden, and getting my work done, there don’t seem to be enough hours in the day, even when I’m all alone. Fortunately, though, I’ve had plenty of time to listen to other DJs’ mixes. And so, without further ado, here’s a new installment of Futurism Restated’s Mixes Digest. 

This time, we’ve got:

• An absolutely sick three-hour set that moves from shimmery dub techno into more propulsive territory, from an artist whose discography runs from quixotic ambient to sleek, nuanced club bangers

• An immersion in ambient dub and dub techno that’s sure to please all the Rhythm & Sound fans out there

• An all-vinyl mix of mostly vintage curveballs that feels like listening through the record shelves of your friend who has both cooler taste and deeper crates than you

• An ambient-adjacent session—with detours into dream pop and shoegaze—that’s easy like Sunday morning

… and more! This newsletter is exclusive to paying subscribers, to thank you for your generous support. Paying subscribers are also privy to a pair of exclusive playlists—one more ambient, the other clubbier—that are up to 32 hours’ worth of music, and they also have unfettered access to all the Futurism Restated archives going back to the beginning. So if that’s you (and if it’s not, it absolutely could be), scroll on for the sets.
