Margins Music Redux - DUSK BLACKDOWN VS. GRIEVOUS ANGEL CD
The album is part remix LP, part DJ set part dub rework. In late 2007 and early 08 we became enthralled by Grievous Angel s Ableton mixes that blurred the lines between DJing and remixing. We offered him the parts to every track on Margins Music and told him to mutate its DNA. (Martin Clark, Blackdown) For me Blackdown and Dusk were always crucial dubstep artists. They deliver tunes that simultaneously hit you in the chest, the feet and the head and I listened to Margins Music for months; I loved the way that it was smart, supple music that had real depth, but which would also go off in a club. It fused dubstep with many of Londons newly-indigenous musics, without being mere cultural tourism, venturing into Londons marginal communities and working with other artists. Including, of course, rebuilding the bridge between dubstep and grime - and not just with any old MC, but with the most vital figures on the scene. And then I got the call. They wanted me to remix the entire album. They were fans of the Dubstep Sufferah series of mixes, where I re-edited and dubbed-up all different kinds of dubstep tunes with extra FX and vocals. The Sufferah series was popular because it provided a widescreen listening experience that most standard DJ mixes didnt offer. Plus, my first album, Belief is the Enemy, was a double CD, with a mix CD called Believe in Dub that was more popular than the main album. I love rough, fast, live DJ mixing, but I wanted to do something different, with a lot of depth and replay value. I was influenced by albums that gave you a whole sonic world to get lost in, such as the classic dub albums of the 70s, like [Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompsons) African Dub Chapter Three, the cut and paste techniques of Coldcuts Journeys By DJ CD, Bill Laswells dub remixes of Miles Davis on the Panthalassa album and the symphonic, endless soul of Marvin Gayes Whats Going On. I see Margins Music as a travelogue through Londons postcodes and timezones and I wanted to bring out the mythical, narrative element of the songs. Blackdown and Dusk captured Londons genius loci almost perfectly; my job was to amplify and concentrate it. London is a universal city, both concrete and symbolic, whose accretions of psycho-geography constrain and liberate the multiple diaspora that comprise its population. I grew up in London and happily exiled myself, but it is impossible to ever truly leave; London is a state of mind and an addictive stimulant. As Trim quotes so eloquently, its a London ting. I hope that you are as transported by the Dusk and Blackdowns vision of London as I was.
