Yeah, Pole and the whole ~Scape label always bring the glitchy dub-weight, you might also check out Kit Clayton, Donnatcha Costello, Ekkehard Ehlers, Auch, and most anything off of the now defunct Force Inc. Kompakt is also putting out some great dubstyled 12's as well.

Pole EP [12"], KiffSM (1998)
LP1 [lp], KiffSM (1998)

both these are wicked. the ep i heard first, at a french cafe on ave b. on the lower east side in 99 maybe. i asked the waiter what it was, he told me and i excused myself and RAN to ethereal on ave a. and bought it immediately. i cant ever remember doing something like that...
i also listened to the ep on 33rpm for about two weeks, then it occured to me to listen to it at 45...
ahhhhh, a whole new experience...

hmm. pole- yes pole. I love pole. bass so heavy that it surrounds one in a thick fog of warm vibes of meditative tranquility. Its almost as if , when listening to his music that the sounds are not even coming from the speakers but are actually vibrating from the walls and windows(especially when you crank up the volume with decent speakers). Well the walls and windows actually do vibrate but it sounds as if the sound is actually eminating from them instead of through them.

some other stuff to check out:
Faith by Paul At. Hillaire aka tikiman and rene lowe on false tuned(tikimans's label)
all burial mix records
echocord records particularly rod modell
deepchord records
My man Kit clayton on ~scape
ridis on basic channel
Monolake
Of course there are more.....

Basic Channel is also now reissuing / remastering / re-dubbing classic dub reggae as Rhythm & Sound as part of a series called 'Burial Mix.' Heavy heavy heavy heavy heavy.

Na he was not the engineer for the German techno label Basic Channel

yes he was a vinyl cutter at dubplates-mastering,that time belong to basic channel
so he got nothin to do with Rhythm & Sound or Basic Channel

HUGE UP DJ MAXXIMUS! YOUR THE BOSS!!
pole1, pole 2 and pole 3 (albums are numered, on matador records for the u.s.), are almost equally acceptable for the best pole releases.
dub.selector.u knows what i'm talkin' about.
thanks maxximus for the knowledge.

Check "Delay" by Dub Tractor as well. Only that album, the rest are a bit crap. Heavy, pre dubstep dubstep bidness.

thanks for digging up this thread, i was meaning to thank clone for introducing me to Pole. Love the depth of atmosphere, reminds me of Burial a bit with the crackles and pops.

I think it's important for any lover of Burial to pick up the first Pole trilogy. If Burial doesn't cite Pole among his influences, I'd be surprised. I referred to Betke's work in my Burial review for Brainwashed, because that's the first place his music brought me to, not dubstep.
