The multifaceted sound worlds of Dimitris Papadatos (b.1981, USA) have been one of our favourite discoveries in recent times. Whether crafting far flung cinematic soundscapes as The Hydra, singing obliquely strategised songs as KU, or jamming hypnotic cosmic dub as Jay Glass Dubs, Papadatos is always intriguing.
His Jay Glass Dubs release for Hylé Tapes last year made the Spool’s Out Best of 2015 list at The Quietus, so we saw fit to ask him to put something together for us. The result is this head-spinning 55-minute “mix of some 80s-90s greek underground tapes with newer stuff”. Lots of sneak peeks from upcoming releases lie therein.
We also paid some dues to the late Mr. Bowie at the very tail end of the episode, dusting off that old ’91 cassette release of the mighty Lodger
