- Rashad Becker, Traditional Music of Notional Species Vol. 1
You might have spotted Rashad Becker’s name in the credits to one of the more than 1,200 recordings he’s mastered at Berlin’s Dubplates & Mastering, an operation established by the label and production duo Basic Channel back in the mid-90s. Since then Becker has set the standard for meticulously mastered vinyl, whether it’s electronic dance, dub, or experimental music. Last year he stepped forward as a sound artist in his own right with the mysterious, sui generis Traditional Music of Notional Species Vol. 1 (Pan). Becker has said he created the music while envisioning some new, unknown species.
