FACT mix 246: Anstam



Via FACT: Speaking over e-mail, Anstam said: “This mix mostly contains artists from the last 15 years who worked – in terms of aesthetics, singularity and density – with a similar kind of blueprint which is also still one fundamental part in the basic Anstamidea.”

Indeed, FACT mix 246 maps out the Anstam genome patiently and comprehensively: from the dub-wise ambience of Rhythm & Sound and Arvo Pärt’s “holy minimalism”, to the seething, snaking drum ‘n bass of Adam F, Source Direct, Paradox and Limewax, and the grave, dread-infused dubstep of Mala, Distance, Shackleton et al, via the isolationist braindance of AFX, Squarepusher and Experimental Audio Research. What’s the common thread linking this music? Well, in the main it’s moody-as-fuck music for soundsystem heads; cerebral and investigative but invariably packing a ruff punch.
