Chance Meeting
Friday January 5th, 2024 with Heavy Ben
From The Archives 1: Mort Garson, Dream Dolphin, Dub Specialist
Chance meeting on a journey to the moon of ethereal fantasy and a version
The music machine never stops. Big labels make big money selling the same songs to the same people decade after decade.
Instead of that nonsense, Chance Meeting is interested in unearthed sounds from decades past that is some combination of:
- never before released
- prohibitively rare and expensive in its original form
- first vinyl pressing of cassette, cd, or digital release
- international music we never knew about
On today's episode:
Mort Garson - Canadian synth pioneer who soundtracked the moon landing, the occult, the zodiac, ads and films from Blacksploitation to National Geographic
Dream Dolphin - Japanese producer whose unheralded ambient recordings have aged better than her euro-trance, drum'n'bass, and techno
Dub Specialist - Jamaican mixologists from Studio One who take reggae into hypnotic echo-land
