Only 15min into the mix, but damn it is good already...

Oh man! This totally passed me by. The Subtle Audio comps I - III I have on CD are totally ace. Will check out this mix for sure and prob buy the new CD when I'm not skint.

WATMM is not big on funky breaks? It's a purchase for me, Jazz Police is my jam!

No Macc or Dghon is weird eh?

Sorry, just thought about this a bit more. Really strange! They were a huge part of my early experience with Subtle. Perhaps licensing issues or something. 

I still can't wait for this to get hear, been itchin' for some drums lately.

Not really !

I mean, we're always up for working with one or both of them, but Macc doesn't make that much music these days - he's mainly focused on his mastering business and dgoHn often gets in touch when he has new music but we didn't hear from him in the window where we were compiling this album. There's always room for one or both in the future though.

If you do want some Macc & dgoHn style beats, you'd do well to check track #9 by Relapse on the CD version - "Break Through" ...

Here's what Macc himself said after mastering the CD :

"For me though it's all about the Relapse tune.

You can tell him from me, I honestly thought, 'I don't get to make music any more, but frankly what's the point anyway when someone is doing what I' d like to do, better?'. Absolute feckin tune."

I'm hyped 

Well, here's some audio - judge how 'Macc & dgoHn' it is for yerselfs

... also, I believe there to be a substantial whiff of Macc from this one ...

thanks to everyone for the support so far !!

Vinyl + CD arrived this week, thank you for the handful of stickers too =).

Can't wait to pound this on the system later, very excited. 

Btw, no bonus tracks with the vinyl/Cd package?   lol I jest, but is there a way to get ahold of the bonus tracks other than buying the CD special offer?

Thanks for the support Stephen !

the bonus tracks were meant to be a bonus for the people who ordered via the Subtle Audio site, but seeing as you've been a regular supporter I can make an exception

PM me yer email and I'll fire over a download link

By the way, the stickers were included because the labels on all the vinyls are the wrong way around... but it's upto you what you do with em !

btw first playthrough of the CD yesterday, really great compilation to celebrate the anniversary. 

I think my favourite track (really hard to choose though...) is Dissident - Overself Archipelago.

^ Glad you're diggin it !
 
As usual, it took quite awhile to find enough tracks I liked that worked together, but I think it was worth the wait in the end.
The Dissident track was the first signed for the CD while I was still living in Montreal in Jan 2015 and the last track (Mecca 'Solar Ice') was signed in April / May 2016 when I was back living in Ireland!)
 
Have you seen the video for Overself Archipelago by the way ?
 
 

Received mine yesterday. Everytime I hear Jazz Police Clifford Gilberto pops into my mind, something similar to the beginning of Brasilia Freestyle. Not a bad thing though. Also love the Kyam track.

Thanks Code and congrats once again! Good that it's only the 10 first years.

Just checked that Clifford Gilberto thing and I can hear what you're saying, both tracks are on a similar vibe, though "Brasilia Freestyle" is just that - a bit more 'freestyle' than "Jazz Police", which is more of a head nodder.

Thanks for the support !

Listened to the vinyl now too, great stuff. The Reactiv track = 

Just thought I'd give a heads up that the digital download versions of both the 3x12" vinyl and the CD are now available from our new Bandcamp page ---> www.subtleaudio.bandcamp.com  

Our entire back catalog is available in digital formats there too (52 releases in all with a 50% discount at the moment).
