Musique Pour La Danse

Musique Pour La Danse is proud to present Spaced Out!, a compilation curated by Belgian artist and producer DJ Athome (Front de Cadeaux) which focuses on psychedelic dub, space rock, and early electronica created in the UK's festival scene between 1986 and 1996, the result of a lifelong passion and 30 years of following artists from the festival scene.

The compilation is presented in 2LP format, along with a limited edition Riso printed scene which features a foreword by acclaimed philosopher Timothy Morton, along with liner notes by David Borsu, one of the key players of Liège's musical collectives in the 90s and illustrations by designer Andrew Beltran.

A1 Eat Static - Kothluwalawa The compilation opens with an ambient track by cult act Eat Static, composed of former members of the legendary Ozric Tentacles. Previously only available on Planet Dog's iconic Feed Your Head compilation.

A2 Magic Mushroom Band - Aravinda The band behind the very successful project Astralasia, here in its MMB configuration. Flutes, tables, and lysergic synthesizers for a very devotional cut.

A3 The Ullulators - Zulu Proons One of the most representative bands from the festival scene, led by former Ozric member Gavin Griffiths, here with a trippy Middle Eastern-influenced track featuring synthesizers, drum machines, and trance- inducing singing.

B1 Ozric Tentacles - Secret Names Without a doubt the most popular band from the festival scene, they played a huge role in the popularity of this music in the UK and beyond. Originally released on cassette, this tune remains a fan-favourite.

B2 Revolutionary Dub Warriors - Dread v1 This four-piece dub band was signed to On U Sound. This cut from their first EP, produced by Adrian Sherwood is a fine example of forward-thinking ,UK-produced dub rock.

B3 Junkwaffel - Substrata Recorded by Ozric Tentacles' Ed Wynne, this groovy B side on the only EP by one of the best-kept secrets of the later days festival scene is another catchy example of what happens when dub, funk and rock interact criss-cross.

C1 The Ullulators - Zulu Proons One of the band's heaviest and most psychedelic dub tracks that really showcases the talents of all its members, previously only available on cassette.

C2 Magic Mushroom Band - Squatter In The House The iconic 12" mix of one of MMB's most irresistible tracks. Somewhere between Belgian New Beat and the Madchester sound, a sensual tune with female vocals and a compelling rhythm section, probably the compilation's most danceable track.

A plodding track by the legends themselves, off the much acclaimed Strangeitude LP, featuring rock instruments in synths in equal measure, for a groove both heavy and trippy.

D1 Divine Soma Experience - Music Is Magic A beautifully disorienting 12-minute mind-melter featuring acid melodies, time signature changes, and psychedelic samples released on DSE's only album.

D2 Extremadura - Epsilon Closing the compilation is this nearly 10 minute track by Zion Train / Universal Egg affiliates, blending dub, indigenous sounds, and electronics for a timeless result between earthy grooves and floaty melodies.
