Justin Robertson and his Deadstock 33s have joined forces with legendary former Fall guitarist Brix Smith for 'Brix Goes Tubular' EP, via EMK - the electronic music platform launched by Kartel Music Group.
If you're not familiar... Justin Robertson is a DJ, author, remixer, producer, and artist with over 30 years’ experience as an innovator and restless proponent of fascinating forward-thinking electronic dance music. Cutting his teeth in Manchester's acid house explosion in late 1980's, he has worked with everyone from Bjork, Chemical Brothers, Erasure and Noel Gallagher's High-Flying Birds to Justice, Erol Alkan and PBR Streetgang.
Brix Smith is a singer, songwriter and guitarist known for her work in the Fall, The Adult Net, Extricated and now her own solo project co-written with the celebrated producer Youth. She is an author, broadcaster, and television presenter famed for her style, good taste, and peerless tunes.
Witchy is a track taken from the ‘Brix goes Tubular' EP, alongside three mixes of the title track, and the Detroit techno-influenced 'Immersion', which combines low-slung psychedelic groove and lysergic synth washes, with in Robertson’s own words, “the slightest hint of 1960’s film soundtrack”.
“We wanted to capture the spaciousness of a distant beach as the surf rolled in and the sound of a rider in the tube of the wave, the wide open palette of dub and particularly the vibe of Compass Point was very much our touchstone. There are hints of the Tom Tom Club in there too, for good measure”.
