Coral D debuts for Mysticisms, suitably first of the new producers joining the Dubplate series. The primary project of Duncan Stump, the deep dub electronic swing of his latest project traces a line of descendance from his roles in Mock & Toof and FX Mchn, as well as his recent 6000 Degrees release.
Appearing in 2017 with Love Is What on his own Tears label, his appearance on Samo DJ’s influential Born Free label, with Everything Is Going To Be Alright, was followed by the bumpin’ Sways EP by one of the labels of the last 10 years, Klasse Wrecks. A dub machine masterclass, Coral D has been producer long admired by Mysticisms.
The digital only, lockdown style releases Dissolve and Lower Feels on Stamps’ occasional Tears are always ones to watch and provided the opportunity to turn friendship in to a collaboration, lifting the tracks to appear together on the vinyl.
The reggae influence permeates. Dissolves’ chug-dub beats falls into DR 55’s laidback digi-dub groove. Perfect machine funk, displaying a confidence in time manipulation, the maturity to allow the listener to drift and fall into the space in the music, offering as much as the Beats and FX themselves.
The flip is given to Lower Feels. A techno-dub of polyrhythm and gentle timble-like oscillations, a glide by shooting of your 21st Century soul that could swims for days.

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
