Burial Mix numbers 6 to 12: classic after classic, like King In My Empire, Queen In My Empire, We Been Troddin’...

The ineffable instrumentals and dubs of Burial Mix numbers 6 to 12.

The very first Basic Channel.
A quarter of an hour of Enforcement, plus a Jeff Mills remix, and an ameliorative dub.
Still thrillingly no-prisoners and 100% unmissable.
Most of the series back in.

Almighty dubs of I’m Your Brother — Round One, on Main Street.

Two superb, dark, signature dubs with unlikely shoots of upful disco and smack-bottom electro naughtiness.

First in the series, from 1992: furious and banging, with a stone-classic, textbook-Detroit UR remix. Don’t miss Eleye: deep, urgent, breathless and explosive; another killer.

A September 1989 performance at the World Financial Center Winter Garden in New York City, with Brian Eno mixing live.
‘During this period Hassell was inspired by the increasingly innovative production techniques being used in hip-hop, in particular the hyper-collaged sampledelic barrage of the Bomb Squad’s work with Public Enemy, hearing it as a kind of extension of the tape splicing that Teo Macero brought to his work with Miles Davis. He began to incorporate more of this aesthetic into his own music, playing over loops of his own performances and riffing on angular juxtapositions of noise, rhythm and melody.’
First time on vinyl.

Inspired by Guy Debord, the detournement of the 1990 album City: Works Of Fiction, assembled twenty-four years later by Hassell, from alternate takes, demos and studio jams, in the same spirit of hip-hop-inspired, dubwise future-funk.
First time on vinyl.

With the Turrentines. ‘Classic Vinyl Series.’
The one-off is Japanese Toshiba-EMI, with insert.

Scorcher. Crucial Jackie Mac, with Pete La Roca also on top form.
‘Classic Vinyl Series.’

Creole’s personal rough mixes of sides recorded at the same late ‘70s session as the Channel One killer Beware.
Fishers Of Man is an extended mix, and Walls Of Jericho is teamed with a version retrieved from dubplate, adding synth.

Gritty sing-jay reportage, originally released in 1987 on a Claypot 12”, back-to-back with Terrorists. Produced in JA by Delroy Francis, more widely known nowadays as the guvnor of the Park Heights label and record shop in Brooklyn.

Stark, powerful singjaying over tough, livewire digi; produced in Jamaica by Delroy Francis for his Claypot imprint, and originally released in 1987.
These are the original mixes, newly transferred from the master tapes.

Upful, late-eighties singjaying, with nuff namechecks and squiddly diddlies, over a crisp, bustling rhythm.

Killer, stripped mix, with a slightly different vocal to the standard issue, bringing extra flashes of sublimity and raw menace; plus a dub beloved of Jahlovemuzik, back in the mid-1970s.

Recording as Jah Carlos in 1976. Massive, glorious Soul Syndicate rhythm, with blazing horns, soulful reasoning, tremendous dub.

The first time out for recordings in Munich and Helsinki — featuring beautifully succinct renditions of the tunes — plus the Rotterdam concert included in the Holy Ghost box set, all rendered here in the improved quality of sound which is Ezz-Thetics’ raison d’être.
