Very small run of beautifully designed cassettes. Side A carries the Dingly Dell EP, while Side B features an exclusive new piece created specifically for tape, Acid Camping.

Acid Camping rearranges and repurposes melodies, motifs and textures from all four tracks on the Dingly Dell EP to accompany a monolog written and performed by Muckers. The piece considers who owns the landscape, the methods with which people were driven off the land, and how we can orient ourselves towards a more collective future, all recorded while out walking.

This is an experiment in extending the scope of these tunes beyond the remix, reconstituting their parts as new landscapes and across new horizons. Acid Camping also begins to express some of the more political ideas of the Circle Dance project.

Thanks to Amber Husain and Thom Andrewes for their generous editorial advice on the text of the piece. Acid Camping drew on ideas from Nick Hayes, Richard King, Jodi Dean, and especially my friends from #ACFM: Nadia Idle, Jeremy Gilbert, Keir Milburn and Chal Ravens.

Unfortunately only shipping within the UK only currently - international folks hold tight!

about

Circle Dance are excited to launch their second release, ‘Dingly Dell’ from London-based producer and label head Muckers. Following on from his debut ‘Out of County’, released on midsummer 2021, Muckers continues to develop the Circle Dance sound with this next EP, adding to the slippery textures and playful pastoral electronica of his first release a seasonal, wintery darkness.

Muckers says ‘I was interested in making a midwinter record, digging into the spookiness of the countryside at this time of year, with its strange rituals and odd beauty. I drew on my experiences growing up in the rural West Country to express some of the weirdness of this time of year, especially when night falls. But I also know that deep winter is and always has been time for a party – so I wanted to include some tracks to make you dance. Finally, we know that after the harshness of winter comes the promise of spring – both literally and figuratively – so I wanted to end on music that looks purposefully forward to new horizons.’

‘Thanks again to my brother Dom for taking time to listen and telling me when to chug it up. Barl-E-Corn is for Rudi, Dingly Dell is for Amber. Uncle’s Field was inspired by a camping trip undertaken by my friends Miles and James, and by the book The Communist Horizon by Jodi Dean.’
