soundcloud.com/misledconvoy returns with Translations IV: a dubwise descent into deconstruction, mutation and reformation. For this edition Mike Hodgson widens his lens, working with artists across generations and geographies, from foundational reggae to unhinged ambient, Aotearoan electronica to New York avant-dub. Diving deep in to their aural architecture, Hodgson disassembles each track and reimagines them within his sonic world, respecting the original but resculpting them at the same time. He stretches soundcloud.com/italiksmusic and soundcloud.com/deepfrieddubband’s Crown into cavernous territory, with fragments of melody surfacing like coded messages from a collapsing empire. soundcloud.com/hallelujah-picassos’s classic Rewind is bent in a non-linear time experiment, its stuttering rhythms evoking broken tape machines and corrupted memory loops. Exodus is stripped back to rhythm and echo, held together by spacious percussion, low-end tectonics and snatches of vocals. For his remix of Tui Dada Dub, Hodgson weaves soundcloud.com/miho-1-1’s flute into tui calls as sub-bass rolls like distant thunder over the soundscape. The Hell on Earth remix of End of Times leans into the fractured electronic chaos originally created by industrial-dub pioneer soundcloud.com/davidharrow and underground icon Little Annie (Annie Anxiety), while The Second Cup version of Mushroom Tea Party extends the ritual, it’s submerged breakbeats and hallucinatory delays stretching the original into a darker after-hours ceremony. soundcloud.com/sec-edit’s militant roots statement is reframed by stripped back drums, industrial textures and a bassline that feels forged rather than played. soundcloud.com/toroa’s Te Tīmatanga speaks to origin, whenua and whakapapa, so Hodgson responds with restraint, expanding its deep atmospherics, spacious percussion and reverent bass weight to create a ceremonial extension. The remixes on Translations IV continue the journey of previous editions, taking us deeper into echo, further into the frequencies and ever closer to the bass.
