Pole is an artist who previous to our meeting exuded mystery. His iconic, numerically-titled album releases drifted into our world on minimal chords and selectively generated echos. We would hear his music, so simply packaged but incredibly deep, and be entranced. We were thrilled to eventually transform our relationship with Pole from distant admirers to collaborators. In 2010 dublab helped present a showcase of Pole’s Berlin-based record label ~scape in Los Angeles. The day after the concert we welcomed Pole, Jan Jelenik, Burnt Friedman into the dublab studio for dj sets. Enjoy this expansive archive from Pole.

A Trip to the Moon, 1902

What do you get when you put a great idea into motion? Results results results. This dublab session is the result of some spectacular planning. We asked Pluramon to come play live on dublab and he said yes. Does this sounds too amazing to believe? Well just wait until you listen. It will sound even more amazing. Pluramon makes lovely, complex music. His previous output on Mille Plateaux will make you smile wide. Now he releases a beautiful, stargazing album on Karaoke Kalk called “Dreams Top Rock.” This is part of your destiny. The future is bright.
