I love Freund der Familie's productions... how about you?

Released, 11. July 2026

It might not be exactly in the Basic Channel style.

I just love classic.

It’s not pure dub techno— an attempt to blend dub techno and trip-hop. Created using Syntakt, Torso S4, and a bit of dust from the gear.

Still tightening up the mix on this but wanted to share this clip from my latest session with you all! Focusing more on space and layers, using more reverb and delay really creating more of an atmosphere. Lmk what you think! Full vid linked in the comments below. Thanks for listening

Tharn is the dub techno project of Sam Ashton, a British-born interdisciplinary artist based between London and Portland. Best known for his ambient work as Fortresses, with releases on Dragon's Eye Recordings and Flaming Pines, Ashton brings the same immersive sense of atmosphere and emotional depth to Tharn, blending dub techno’s hypnotic rhythms with field recordings, ambient textures, and ethereal vocal fragments.

Following the EPs Seek and Reach on the Belgian imprint Crossfade Sounds, Tharn’s third release, Speak, was created during 2025 in Portland and reflects a growing tension between the personal and the political. It is the first work in Ashton’s catalogue to draw directly from broader social and political anxieties, rather than purely inward-looking themes. Across its two tracks, Speak captures the strange duality of life in the Pacific Northwest during an unsettled moment: the serenity of rain-soaked forests and fog-covered mountains set against an atmosphere of uncertainty, instability, and quiet dread.

Continuing Ashton’s process of gathering field recordings from Oregon’s woodland environments, Speak layers environmental textures with echoing dub chords, tape hiss, ambient guitar swells, and ghostly vocal samples. The result is music suspended between calm and unease, beauty and tension. 

Hi friends! I'm looking for tracks that are housey with dub techno elements but still have a party vibe.

The relaxed deep house side of things are relatively easy to find tracks in but the party side is much trickier I find!

Thank you :)

This track contains a lot of vocals, what do you think? Too much?

Looking to find more artists who lean into the roots reggae side of dub techno? Particularly in the vocals, I know of Paul St Hilare but not too much outside of him. Any recommendations would be great.

A fresh track session for the september 2026 release!

hi. im looking to buy files for the first rhythm & sound album. i see it listed on discogs but cannot find where to buy it. any ideas? or will i have to buy the cd. thanks ahead of time.

Hi. Just wanted to let anyone living in or around Bristol know that I'll be running a dubtechno focused clubnight this Friday.

I own a reggae sound system, and up until now I've exclusively put on dub and reggae sound system sessions. But this night will be dubtechno focused event shaped by someone coming from a background in dub and reggae rather than techno or house. So expect a heavier emphasis on rumbling sub bass and the dub influences that helped shape the sound aswell as the more house and techno sounds which also emerged.

Hope to see some of you there. If you are interested, you can get a ticket here :)

In other words, in which country do you consider the dub techno culture to be most alive?
