Constructions: Remixed and Dubbed

A deep dive into Viennese dub-noir. Heavy basslines and echo-drenched textures create a dense, nocturnal atmosphere of urban isolation.

June 30, 2000 · Motor Music GMBH

This album is the sonic equivalent of a slow-motion walk through a city after a heavy downpour. It captures the specific 'Viennese sound' of the late nineties: a meticulous blend of Jamaican dub techniques and European electronic precision. The bass is not just a sound here; it is a physical presence that anchors the more ethereal, drifting elements of the remixes. It feels heavy, humid, and slightly claustrophobic, yet there is a deep soulfulness buried beneath the layers of digital grit.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the sub-bass suddenly drops into a cavernous reverb on the third track, swallowing the melody.

A transition from jagged breakbeats to a smooth, jazz-inflected trumpet loop that feels like a hallucination.

The moment a vocal snippet is stretched and pitched until it becomes a rhythmic element rather than a melody.
