Dub Techno and Autumn: How Conna Haraway's Beats Match the Moods of the Season
As the British autumn palette casts its grey-white hue over the landscape, music tastes shift to reflect the melancholy chill. Dub techno, born in the early 90s, emerges as a fitting companion for this season of introspection, offering a stark yet warm, crackling heat at its core.
One such artist embodying these qualities is Conna Haraway from Glasgow. Since his debut album 'Lusidiq' last year, Haraway has been busy crafting an unhurried and evocative sonic world, with the latest being two excellent EPs released this year. These showcase a masterful balance of ambient textures and dub techno beats that resonate deeply.
Haraway's music has drawn comparisons to pioneers such as Basic Channel and Porter Ricks. One recent release on Short Span, an innovative label founded by Matthew Kent, is Haraway's contribution to the collective's discography. His three-track 'Shifted' includes Redirect, Detach, and Duration - tracks that exemplify his ability to create intricate patterns with syncopated beats and subtle layers of sound design.
The subtlety in Haraway's approach builds a misty atmosphere that is both mystical and accessible, making him an exciting addition to the dub techno landscape. This autumn season offers the perfect backdrop for immersing oneself into such music.
Beyond Haraway's solo work, this season sees a resurgence in collaborative projects and labels pushing the boundaries of electronic music. With his involvement in co:clear and Index:Records, Conna Haraway remains at the forefront of dub techno innovation.
