{"product_id":"persian-meets-picasso-20-dubplate-10","title":"Persian Meets Picasso - Dubplate #10","description":"\u003cp\u003eMysticisms’ Dubplate series reaches number 10 with the first in a series of specials, taking the genre blurring music of Persian and presenting updated remixes and versions by up-and-coming producers, as well as friends and family of the label.  \n\nStarted as a sporadic offshoot of Mysticisms’ main releases, with the idea to highlight the wonderful sounds of dub influenced dance music, Dubplate has now become an integral part of the mission.\n\nTo start, South London’s Picasso joins the label, showcasing his declared abstract grooves and an EP of Dub and Tech House movers.  While his productions aim for the dance floor, they are often characterized by complex rhythms and unconventional structures, prioritizing atmosphere and texture over traditional melodies. \n\nDrawing inspiration from ambient, jazz, experimental influences and the heavy hand of dub, Sam “Andrews” McKay has crafted an EP of immersive “soundscapes”.  Joining the legendary Persian (Peter Reilly) as co-selector, his retakes are all warped grooves, wide bass and dubby atmospherics.   \n\nOpening with Space Within Art, the street soul meets reggae rhythms are jettisoned, and a Dub House swing drives the track.  The love, homage and vibration for Sound System culture remains, enchanting trippy reggae sampledelic vocals weaving in the brain.  \n\nDunya 2 sees a shift, minds expanding. A jazz influenced breakbeat, harp, strings, building to a psychedelic swirl, driven by a dub bass in a clash, morph and glow.  \n\nThe deep Digi Dub of D Dub Twist grows, warping the ‘JA riddim meets English hedonism’ in true Soundclash style.  Touches of drone underlay, highlighting Sam’s experimental leaning, utilising Persian’s love of Eastern mystical samples to marry perfectly for a deep dub excursion.  \n\nThe self-prescribed “odd-fellow” completes his versions, exploring his love of depth and abstract sound in closer, Jacob’s Dub.  The warm roots vibrations in original form develop into a scatter gun House bumper.  Dubwise, Lovers, Stepper, all merge around shuffling, trippy beats and skippy hats, Picasso’s groove is laid bare, driving the EP to finale.\n\nAbstract the Mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A2246412056\u0026amp;color=%230429cd\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/picassodj\" title=\"picasso 🎨\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\"\u003epicasso 🎨\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/picassodj\/mysticisms-dubplate-10-persian-meets-picasso\" title=\"Mysticisms Dubplate #10 : Persian Meets Picasso\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\"\u003eMysticisms Dubplate #10 : Persian Meets Picasso\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/release\/36941712-Persian-Meets-Picasso-Dubplate-10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDISCOGS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blueprint Grooves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47705963561154,"sku":"MYD010","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/7518\/7138\/files\/persianpicasso.webp?v=1779935868","url":"https:\/\/blueprintgrooves.com\/products\/persian-meets-picasso-20-dubplate-10","provider":"Blueprint Grooves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
