about

Somewhat surprisingly, it has already been four and a half years since the twelfth volume in the Cmx series was issued. For one reason (or several), I've been preoccupied enough with other albums and projects that continuing this archival thread of remix collections slipped away from me. With Autumn's leafy breeze now fully within the lungs of the valley, I could not be happier to sit down and assemble another compilation of Coppice mixes, so here's what Cmx thirteen contains:

Opening the album, as is the usual Cmx custom, is an original cut - the 'Rust Flex' mix of Appleblue Dram, a hardware live set from May 2018 (see: coppicehalifax.bandcamp.com/album/appleblue-dram ) which was originally issued at Arctic Dub in Portugal on a 2019 compilation. This mix and master of the track has never been released up to now, with the Arctic Dub compilation having been mastered by the label at the time. Trainspotters will note a *lot* more low end is present in this version.

Next is a ten-minute dub techno space-out I constructed for Specta Ciera (aka Drexon Field) for his superb Terrain Scan LP issued at Recycled Plastics in 2019. This mix was built using sampled sections from all over the Terrain Scan album, but primarily used melodic information from 'Star Sector' and 'Pattern Scanner', and echoes the kind of post-Analog Botany dub I was making in 18 and 19. Until now, it has only been made available as a bonus track on the Terrain Scan CD-R.

At number three, we have the inimitable Foamek, with one of two mixes I made for his totally essential On Doing/Being Ordinary companion disc, Avalon (Remixes). My 'Dripping Lawn' mix is the longest track presented here, at nearly 18 minutes, and careens through late-night coastline cruises with neon highs and shadowy lows, recontextualizing Foamek's vocal samples into a DX-like space chorus, and running a Kompakt-inspired bassline beneath the proceedings.

Fourth is the heaviest and most aggressive of the six tracks offered here, my 'Triadic Phaseout' of Substak's 'Index', which nearly resembles something like Bike more than a CH cut, but I'm sure I had my reasons in Summer 2018. This one was a disc-exclusive cut for the CD-R edition of Index, although it made a brief appearance on one of the Conference Call compilations at RP after the fact. Lots of polymeter that amounts to an almost drum and bass rave up, thick and angular with plenty of DSP warping and break chopping.

After the romp of the Substak mix, it felt pertinent to pull the intensity back a bit and my remix of Arbee's 'Chaine' more than accomplishes this need. Originally issued on Polysemie III, at Unknown Tone Records in early 2020, this version of the remix is my own master, previously unreleased. Filled with warbling tape spool effects and low-bit Akai sampler sounding passages of bass and synth, this mix recalls my perennial influences from Mille Plateaux atmospherics and early Vladislav Delay records. A lovely off-grid spattering of noise and melody that dovetails the album beautifully into the spacious closer...

And closing the set is my 'Lunar Debris' mix for Dérive Dub (aka Dimitar Dodovsky) on his Notte Variations album at Recycled Plastics, in early 2019. Like tracks #2 and 4, this mix was also a disc-exclusive bonus cut on the CD-R edition of Notte Variations, and has remained offline until now. A breezy night-time dub with elemental textures woven throughout, taking influence from all the Echospace material I was listening to almost constantly at the time, specifically Phase 90 and Variant.
