Mindcast.66 || Winchester

We are delighted to revive our mix series Mindcast. Once you've heard this year's first mix, you'll understand why we've missed this project so much and why we're bringing it back to life - despite the work load involved.

Operating as Winchester, Adam Winchester reconnects with his sound system roots while carving out a sharper, more dancefloor-focused identity. The name marks a new chapter that bridges the heavy, tactile bass pressure of his early Wedge productions with the meticulous, sculptural sound design he’s become known for through projects like Dot Product and Wrecked Lightship.

"I built this mix to bring together the intensity and weight of the dancefloor while exploring more detailed, experimental dimensions. Whether immersed on headphones or physically skanking out on a sound system, it drifts somewhere between club pressure and electronic psychedelia.
A heavy thread of Dub runs through and scaffolds the mix, with bass as the foundation for the fractal harmonics and spatial atmospherics that push it into futuristic territory. Across the set I blend exclusive dubplates and versions from friends Mønic, Arkist, and Gatekeeper, alongside a cheeky unnamed dubplate or two, and fresh releases from Nic As Well and Breton Brut on the Creaked and Sneaker Social Club labels.
There are also some essential but obscure classics from A Made Up Sound, Paradox, and Slaughter Mob—true heroes and influences on my sound. I especially remember shocking out to Guts N’ Bones on the dancefloor at Timbuk2 in Bristol back in 2005—those moments left a deep mark on me and truly blew my mind!
The mix also folds in an electroacoustic arpeggiated piece by Bernard Parmegiani from the GRM, and a few of my own tracks and collaborations: my first vinyl release as Wedge, some purely ambient sound as Adam Winchester, and a Dot Product track that closes the journey." - Winchester
