Side 001 - Milk Carton Sequence
Side 002 - Well Enough Alone

"I planned to put this on each side of a 10 minute tape and sell them
with handmade covers and cassette art and all that but in fact never
got round to getting the tapes. I bought some - but they were 5 minute
tapes and I couldn't do it. But it's still a finished project - it's
pretty much in style with the D.U.B. series, just really
edit-intensive stuff. I did all the edits by hand and all the sound
oddities are edits and tests I did as I was going along. I think a lot
of it had to do with the pent up-ness in me after the album. I didn't
do a crazy amount of really math-core edits on that so I had a lot to
get out of my system." - Buddy Peace

Buddy Peace - Wolf Diesel Mountain(2008)






30 unnamed tracks



Link



Wolf Diesel Mountain is a monster fed on the bones of all that have gone before it. This is a mix that is complex and diverse - slices and selections of nearly 100 tracks in under an hour. Samples are chopped, beats are re-programmed and tracks are fully remixed - without ever falling into the common trap of mixes that veer off on tangents to show off the DJ's record collection. Not that Buddy hasn't got a collection worth losing limbs for - but the genius here lies in the construction. This is a mix of broken hearts and block parties, unfaithful guitars and dusty drums. There is a journey here, a narrative of disparate elements combined, like the best indie film you never saw. But like every good mix it still bumps, leaving your spine aching and your head bristling with hopes of redemption.
