Lock The Studio, Turn Out The Lights: Basic Channel 25 Years On - https://thequietus.com/articles/24494-basic-channel-review-anniversary
... it's telling that the entire Basic Channel series (alongside the pair's many other records as Maurizio, Round and Rhythm & Sound) remain consistently in vinyl press via Ernestus' Dubplates & Mastering studio: it's a gesture that says that this music is no historical document, but is still living and breathing, alive with surface crackle, to be handled, played and boomed out through massive speakers.
There was the Moritz von Oswald Trio with Max Loderbauer and Tony Allen (and guests like Vladislav Delay to Carl Craig) which wasn't so much jazz as improv/"free electronics", some interesting things but not amazing. even further afield from Berlin dub techno, he also had an album of roots music of Kyrgyzstan (https://www.residentadvisor.net/reviews/21641). he had a stroke 10 years ago, which slowed him down a bit for awhile but I believe he recovered fairly well.
Ernestus has mostly concentrated on jeri-jeri Ndagga, the African music project.
I'm glad they stopped releasing music on basic channel and chain reaction, best to leave them at their peak as perfectly formed entities. would have been very hard to maintain the level of quality, and risk watering down the label brands with lesser releases.
that kyrgyz album is sick, but maybe im biased.
More Kirghiz Light? What is this please?
Thanks for the YT clips, version - all great, but Blue Dub stood out. Will check more of the Trio stuff... dipped in and sounds ok...
one of the first things I did when I first got into electronic music and techno was buy the basic channel catalog of 12" singles. foundational. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
