MARTYN [3024, revolv:r, tempa, netherlands]
dutch born dj/producer martijn deykers, aka martyn, is currently exploding; one of those rare artists able to use opportune timing and a wealth of experience to bridge the factional subgenres of electronic music. martyn cut his teeth promoting the infamous "red zone" drum 'n bass nights in einhoven, nl (1996–2007) before breaking into the genre worldwide with a series of popular 12"s (on revolve:r, play:musik and bassbin) noted for their chicago/detroit influence. taking the tempo down a notch, martyn surprised many in early 2007 with "broken/shadowcasting," a deep 12" that gained attention from the likes kode9, gilles peterson, mr scruff, pole and laurent garnier with it's deft marriage of dub techno and prototypal 2-step rhythms. with the further blessing of tempa records (via tempa all-stars 4 & dubstep all-stars 6), martyn found his singles compiled on labels from ~scape to soul jazz. building on this foundation, martyn started his own 3024 imprint and has become an in-demand remixer--his rework of trg's "broken heart" named as one of the top dubstep 12"s of 2008 by pitchfork's martin clark. in may 2008, martyn landed a slot at the prestigious mutek festival in montreal, cementing his reputation as an international artist able to draw together the dubstep massive, d'n b refugees and techno intelligentsia. don't miss this adventurous dj on chicago's best sound system.

>>tonite on abstract science: ROBERT RICH
live in umbria, italy, 2000
we are very proud to present a special live set from ambient pioneer robert rich as part of our annual post-turkey thanksgiving drone. often miscategorized, robert rich started his career at 13 by building his own synthesizer and by the early 80s was studying at stanford's center for computer research in music and acoustics. while at stanford rich gained notoriety for a series of all night "sleep" concerts; playing live to a sleeping audience (obviously this man is luke's hero.) since then rich has released over 40 albums and adds these comments for this rare live recording:
"This was a completely improvised concert with minimal equipment, performed for a small audience at a private venue in Umbria, Italy in 2000. The audience was ready for a deep listening experience, so there are no rhythms, and the pace is quite slow. Hopefully your audience will enjoy this on Thanksgiving!" – Robert Rich
