Greetings and a very warm welcome to the November 2015 newsletter. May this newsletter provide you with the warmth that might be missing from simply walking around your town/village.
It's been a decade since I left Dublin, so on a Dublin vibe for this newsletter, with PSCHNVGTN K T H X, RemixSelection_One and Detro Ep.
However, before we get down to the .IE, here's Flows Ep:

Lackluster: PSCHNVGTN K T H X
Released on the 9th of September 2015.
- 06/12/01B
- EEDL: Too Few Arguments (Lacklustermx)
- Manta: Sitting Pretty (Lacklustermix)
- Anne Garner: Fools (Lackluster Remix)
- Brawdcast: 3 Amigos (Lackluster Remix)
- Lackluster: Be the Trim Tab

Goodbye Psychonavigation, a friendly little label from Dublin, Ireland, run by one Keith Downey. THX for all the memories.
The first track was released on their debut compilation V/A: Psychokinesis (with Mr. Projectile, Buckminster Fuzeboard and p.p.roy as highlights), the third on Manta's nice little "Head Movement" EP, the fourth on the star-studded remix-album "Remaking the Pearl" (with The Irresistible Force, Richard H. Kirk, Gocat and Multiplex amongst so many others)..
The fifth tune? Psychonavigation put out a small slice of rap in the case of the rare-to-obscure Brawdcast "3 Amigos Ep", with fellow contemporaries Cuttooth and Anodyne - but also the Lackluster remix you might have never even heard.
And let us never forget the massive Anodyne Remixes 12" Ep with the whole A-side covered by The Black Dog, and the B-side split (but it was a friendly divide) between Autechre and Lackluster.
Oh, and then there was a massive compilation, that in digital form introduced us to a selection of 22 tracks - from such names as Norken, Move D, Mick Chillage, Gel-Sol, Spacetime Continuum.. and.. The Future Sound of London. Yep, call it V/A: Mindfield.
I was proud to be a part of every single one of these compilations / remix releases, and now they are presented here for posterity.
They are not available via Psychonavigation anymore, so here you go, collectors and fans of the Dublin sound!
You can find the release on Bandcamp for a pittance.

Did someone mention Dublin? Sure, it's been 9 years since I've played there last, yet the place just keeps on giving, thanks to Donal Dineen's smashing article and the re-releases of archival material below.
Here we go!

Did you know this about Lackluster? (Lackluster Factoid #04)
Isn't it amazing that a track like Grind has briefly been played by none other than Coldcut way back in 2002 on their Solid Steel show? If you don't believe it, check out what Simon Carless a.k.a. h0l/Monotonik had to say about it way back when!
“05.10.02: Not only was Lackluster's 'Grind', as originally released on Monotonik, played on Coldcut's seminal 'Solid Steel' mix show on the 29th September 2002 by Coldcut themselves, but also, the site credits it to Monotonik, and not DeFocus, who released the CD/vinyl versions of it. Heh. Lucky accident? Probably. Fun nonetheless. :)"
Rest in peace Monotonik. Without support from this modgroup/netlabel, you might have never heard any of my stuff.
