On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

VA: pt 21 - After a Few Mescal Cosmos

Don Mescal has been DJing for more than 20 years now. Inspired by folkloric multiculturalism, he loves to experiment with the traditions of world music. He knows how to transfer those traditions into a modern perspective to brew an electronic music elixir with that extra drop of Mescal flavor. His unique musical voyage combines a well-selected myriad of styles from Folktronica, Rub-a-Dub, Jungle & Tribal with a joyfully flamboyant vibe.

Don is also the co-founder of Cosmovision Records, a new music label / collective created by a mix of immigrants from Latin America, Europe, & locals from Canada, based in Montréal, working together as a multi-cultural, multi-disciplined artistic platform. Mescal has toured around the world over the past years. He gets crowds dancing in clubs & festivals such as Boomtown (UK), Burning Man (USA), Piknik Electronik.

Various - This is Dubtempo is a 40 track compilation curated by Don Mescal.  It is a groundbreaking compilation that pushes the boundaries of sound. In this visionary project, the timeless essence of Dub reggae fuses seamlessly with the cutting-edge world of downtempo. 

 

Various - This is Dubtempo, Cosmovision Records, 2025.

Note: All of you familiar with my personal brand of psychosis have probably figured out by now that for next month all the shares will be prompted by the compilations I'm sharing this month. I'm going to try to select one artist from each comp to share something from their catalogue. If anyone wants to reply at any time with your requested artist share, I will try to share those as well (or just those Frenz choices, should the entire world flip upside down & there were magickally enough requests, I could skip or pair with mine)..

I've already received two requests from Frenz of NSS Diego & FlaccusMUC for Thomas Leer & Robert Rental - The Bridge & something more from Climax Golden Twins, which I now have on deck.  I just sez...

The spice of life,
NØ

    Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in...I thought i was all VA'd out, bud, until i read today's post, but this looks irresistable.
    I don't know if this fits with this month's theme - nae bother if it doesn't - but did those Assassins Of God boys ever go on to other things after the band split? I'd sure like to hear more in that vein.

      Seems like vocalist, guitarist, & main songwriter Kenny Kearney dropped out of music after AOG. Drummer Bruce Ducheneaux lived in S.F. & drummed for Gary Floyd Band for quite a while as well as Black Kali Ma (shared here June 14, 2019), Bassist Maurus Fleishmann played in Hedonist (one demo tape & one CD as far as I know), Nothing from any of them like AOG.

      Nicely - i'll check the Black Kali Ma out. Cheers.

      Excellent. Black Kali Ma is good but different from AOG by quite a bit.

    Muchas gracias amigo NØ
    Only listened to the first 4 tracks and I can tell this is going to be fantastic. Might have to reach to the back of the top shelf for that dusty bottle of Beneva Anejo and crank up the volume!!!

    Thanks Nø! Downtempo + dub! That's a winning combination in my book. I don't recognize ANY of the artists on this compilation, which is fabulous. Thanks!

    Thank you, my suggestion would be an artist from #11 Bananafish
    https://www.discogs.com/master/1486352-Iancu-Dumitrescu-Medium-II-Cogito
    An album I have. Its sound/vinyl quality is not right. I'd love to hear a good rip.
    I remember first playing it on 45 rpm. until the next album sounded ridiculous and i had to listen to it again at 33, and as with more albums it just happens to be good, any way. Please may I request

    Apologies for the 'negative vibes', but this has to be one of the worst albums I have ever heard.

      Some have liked & you don't. Not everything appeals to everyone. Thanks for your opinion. No need to apologize. There's plenty of music around that I don't like.

      Well, anonymous, you must lead a sheltered listening life if this is "one of the worst albums" you've ever heard. I can list a hundred or more albums that are way worse than this one. Gues you must have been making with the hyperbole.

    Thank you so much for your website. I live in Vietnam & I'm not on any social media.
    I say this, because I have taken some music from your website, and I want to thank you. Especially for this post. I had no idea about Cosmovision Records. This compilation sounds like early (the first 3) Dreadzone albums, to me.
    Do you have a Paypal account that I can put money into, to help support your efforts?
    This isn't a con, I'm a bit older (53 this year), I have about 30 dollars in an account that's doing nothing. It's not a lot, but I would rather you did something with it.
    I will also send this message via my google account, so you can verify me.
    The point is .... I'm not so savvy with these things.

      Thank you for your comment & your generous offer. I just do this for my own entertainment (& with the hope that others such as yourself will find things to enjoy). I'm sure you can find other things to do with your money, but thanks for the offere.
