Stripewaves #2 is almost a day ago and it was smashing! Thanks to everybody who joined and the photos/videos will be up here soon! I hope you’re ready for some more because here comes a brand new Stripewaves Global mix, this time provided by Welfare from Dublin, Ireland. This 27 year old Dubstep and Jungle Producer/Dj originally started dj’ing and mixing techno but he’s into Dubstep and Jungle for a long time now. Welfare has been playing all over Ireland and is also hosting a weekly radio show called the Welfare Clinic, check out his Myspace for airdates and the shows. Enjoy this fine mixtape and make sure to check out his soundcloud if you like it!

It has been a while since a new Stripewaves Global Mixtape but prepare yourself for a double release. The first mixtape is made by Morten Mouritzen aka [insert name here] from Copenhagen, Denmark. Morten has been into dub music for many years now at first mainly into the French dubscene but after hearing DMZ on the Roskilde Festival in 2007 he got infected with the Dubstep virus. He started out Dj’ing 15 years ago in a youthclub in his hometown Aalborg (Denmark), and later on became resident at club VIVA. After a long break he picked up Dj’ing again three years ago, mostly for fun, but still receiving the occasional gig invitations.
His 45 minute Stripewaves Global Mix starts out nice and calm but also includes some of the sickest tracks at the moment, so get yourself ready for some nice dubstep violence.

And there is more! Stripewaves Global 03 is mixed by Zsolt Olejnik aka Nicron from Budapest, Hungary. Nicron has been actively working on sound compositions, live performances, radio shows, web designs and applications since 1996. Nowadays he’s working as a senior designer and lead flash developer. In 1998 he founded porousher, which was influenced by minimal and conceptual art besides experimental electronic music. After numerous live-acts and releases, porousher disbaned in 2002 and formed into a netlabel to deal with limited edition cdr releases. Nicron has since curated its content and designated the object of developing sound installations, internet based sound applications, furthermore preparing sound competitions for visitors. this project has been closed in 2007, and Nicron is focusing on his sounds, live sets and radio shows now.
Nicron aims to create such fresh sound compositions that are unique in structural setting up and phonation. He strives for cleared sound shapes and abstract structures and beats within the digital domain in a way, that the product will continue to be able to evoke a reaction from the listener on emotional and intellectual level.

Tracklist
I love mixes. I listen to them a lot. I’m not so sad that i have a top ten, not even a mental one. I have a rotation though, i honestly don’t think a two week period passes when i don’t stick on Shambhala by Excision, and the mix that Breakage did for FACT has been played every week since it dropped.
A good mix brings you places, ups and downs and in an outs. It contains moments of peace and power, angst and confidence. That said, my main criteria for liking a mix is a simple one. “Did i enjoy it”. Sometimes, the way people discuss mixes makes me wonder if they actually like music at all. Seeming to attack every perceived flaw and weak spot with an axe. I’m a more basic, simple, cerebral kind of person. I’ll only realise how much i actually enjoyed a mix AFTER the fact, while it’s on i am just listening to it, lost in the flow of tracks that someone was kind enough to take the time to put together.
I’ve found some nice ones over the last year, and have lined them all up in a row for you, all you gotta do is hit play.
Eleven Tigers – December Live 2009
I feel kind of bad for linking to this, as it was done for another blog, but the man himself popped it up on his Soundcloud so what the hell. A blissful, assured and confident selection of electronica. This is currently getting daily playage from me.
Erwtenpeller – War of the Worlds
This is riding high in my hindbrain for a nod as my mix of the year. Firstly , i am biased as hell towards favouring anything got to do with War of the Worlds ( Tom Cruises being short was saved by Tim Robbins being crazy for example ) and secondly, it’s a superb mix. The classic story of War of the Worlds unfolds to some of the greatest and most interesting Dubstep you will hear. A mix packed with great tunes, which as a whole becomes more than the sum of it’s parts. And that is saying something when the parts prod this much buttock.
The LSDJ – Nocturnal Dub
Honestly not a lot to say here. Great tune selection, great mixing, great mix. A sleeper too, i honestly forget how much i enjoy this until i go back and listen to it again.
G31 – Mind the Dubstep
A kickass mix from a kickass producer. End of.
16bit – Tokyo Set Menu Mix
Bugger all you can say about 16bit other than “awesome”. Yeah, this mix has been about for a while, but i only copped it recently. Shame on me!
