How is dat? Rub-A-Dub on that Holy Nights?

Since the last two years Prince Istari worked heavy on this release. Maybe you remember the Lebkuchen Dubs from last years holidays. Now first time on supper limited vinyl press. You get the orgininal lebkuchen dubs with one extended cut. But there are three more heavyweight rub-a-dub tunes for your holynight skanking.

This album transforms traditional German and Austrian Christmas songs, in all their redundantly soporific form, into a heavily exaggerated alien dub territory. The line between the bearable and the destructive runs dangerously close here — though it remains quite danceable. This one is for the strong-hearted. Friends of psychedelic dub or ambient afternoon naps might want to steer clear of this product.

With a jug of Glühwein and the snow falling outside (or rain), the band LIVITY BETHLEM SNOWFLAKE ROCKERS sets the mood. Meanwhile, PRINCE ISTARI shall take his place before the organ, and play warm melodies unto thee in this cold and wintry world. Yet shall he remain steadfast at the controls, increasing the Irie for all ye snowflakes who dwell upon the earth. And behold, the First Holy Night shall be mighty indeed. For all shall be eager to rock the house, and the rejoicing may well become somewhat excessive.

First shall come “Sweeter the Dubs,” gently leading thee into the sacred zone. Then cometh “Silent Dub,” whereupon it may become apparent that the PRINCE hath partaken of one cup of Glühwein too many. Thereafter shall sound “Scho Glei Dumpa Dub,” and this shall be the tune that causeth all within the dance to rise up and jump with great rejoicing, before returning unto their sofas and collapsing therein. And when the Holy Night draweth toward its end, there shall arise “Dawtah Of Zion Dub,” a tune of great fellowship, wherein all may lift up their voices and sing along, until at last they gently drift away into the blessed state of winter hibernation. Thus endeth the First Holy Night.

On the morrow, being the First Holy Day, we shall turn unto Side B. And even as Mary went forth through the thorny bush, so is it now ordained that we shall partake of the remnants of Holy Eve, and suffer the mighty hangover thereof. And for this purpose shall the lively “Dub Amid the Thorns” be laid upon the turntable. And when all things have been made ready and every remnant hath been consumed, the evening shall proceed into heavy rotation with the mighty Acid Dub Banger featuring RANKING TRUDY “Oh How Joyful Dub.” And thus shall the music continue until the very last of the guests have departed unto their soft feather beds.

And on the Second Holy Day, we shall abide in a continual loop of the peaceful “Silent Trickle Dub,” dwelling in humbelness and jubilant. Then shall we go forth into the winter, and all the snowflakes shall rejoice together at the sound of the final tune, “Flöckchencore.” For it shall be short, yet most solemn.

This release carries 8 tunes of Advanced Dungeon Dub and comes with a 20 page Dungeon Module playable with the 5 edition rules of worlds first roleplaying game!

“Whilst your stalwart band of adventurers lay encamped beneath the cold stars, taking such rest as the wilds allow, doom crept upon you unawares. In the blackest hours of the night, a mad shadow-elf warlock—long steeped in forbidden lore—descended upon your camp, attended by his vile goblin minions and brutal bugbear enforcers. One moment you basked in the wan glow of your campfire; the next, chaos and darkness reigned. Rough-hewn sacks were clapped over your heads, cruel blows rained down, and you were dragged from the light, borne away to a fate unknown.”

The Second release is a limited tape by F.K. Raeithel in the new Miszellen Tape Series.

In December 2025, I performed alongside Asmus Tietchens and Jetzmann at the final Hörbar Ausklang Festival. This cassette was produced for that occasion. It contains preliminary studies for my live modular synthesiser performance.

The tape wasn’t sold on the night, and its release ended up being postponed until now. At one point I had almost forgotten that I had even produced it. Now it’s finally here—but what does that change?

Side A features a 24-minute piece titled Aber Was Ändert Das? (What Does That Change?)
Side B presents several variations and adjustments of a self-generative patch.
Quantitative Unbestimmbarkeit I-V (Quantitative Indeterminacy I–V)

The title Miszellen Band is derived from the term Miszelle (plural: Miszellen), which refers to a short informative text or brief scholarly essay, often published in academic journals or collected volumes under a “Miscellanea” section. The word originates from the Latin miscella, meaning “mixed things”. Such texts typically explore highly specific subjects without the scope or depth of a full-length study. They often consist of etymological notes, addenda to previously published work, concise discussions, or small discoveries from archives.
The edition is limited to 50 copies.

B
Entitled
Fallender Bach (Falling River)

Dubcore 27 features DjBadshape from Leipzig’s vibrant breaks and bass scene with her full vinyl debut. She already made her solo debut with Hurrican Kick on Defrostatica Records and dropped some tunes on some compilations like Bassmæssage Second Drop as well as on cassette on human togetherness. While producing tunes she dj and regularly uploads her Temper mixes on SoundCloud.

The first two tracks, “Facebreaker” and “Entitled,” were produced shortly after Bangface.
Hours of waiting at Humberside Airport turned into long talks about music — the festival’s energy and conversations inspired this creation. The tune “Spring Bird Symphony” is the first track I produced with the KO2 media sampler from Teenage Engineering. It was the best birthday present my boyfriend could have given me! You hear the spring fever in it? Finally, “Der Fallende Bach” is an ode to the flora and fauna of the Austrian Alps, imagining the joy a drop of water must feel as it rushes down a waterfall, riding nature’s own rollercoaster.

B
Sonic Attack Of The Cicardas (Lost Cut 4)
Dubmensional Sanctuary (Kraut Cut)
Dubmensional Sanctuary (Drum And Bass Version)

Dare! Vampires written, conducted, produced by Prince Istari & Nozomi

B
Trouble No Set Like Rain
Step Into Calabi-Yau
Boderation Times Dub

The subtitle for this PRINCE ISTARI release is top ranking stepper science class. But not only steppers are on this six tracker. here we step into the 8th grade of junior high school with two cuts of the EWIL-MERODUB, one acid stepper and one strip down drum and bass version. Ewil-Merodach son of Nebukadnezar is also known as Amēl-Marduk (Second Book of Kings 25,27). The last tune on the A-side is DIKE DISCO STYLE DUB with some synth keys into niceness land. Flipside TROUBLE NO SET LIKE RAIN brings you a deep rockers riddim with some melancholic horns section. this one is a heavy load tune! STEP INTO CALABI-YAU follows up and is a particular type of manifold gently stepperdub which has certain properties, such as Ricci flatness tom tom echos, yielding electro piano applications in theoretical physics. Last tune is the tricky ones here in terms of the drum beats (it’s based upon the Peanuts Vendor Riddim Beat for those of you who want to know) and is called BODERATION TIMES DUB and features PRINCE ISTARI on his 6 string bass guitar solo. Its more of a serious dubinstrumental then a dub tune.

B
Gone Too Early (Version 3)
Conquering Dub
No Dub Inna Di Wrong

With the 7th Grade of the Riddim Dub School series, Prince Istari enters Junior High School. Prince Istari returns with his Riddim Dub School series now on 12inch, pushing deeper into the intersection of dub, drum and bass, and sound system culture. This 6-track EP, titled “lessons into drum and bass wise”, explores raw rhythms, analog feedbacks, and heavy low-end pressure.

The EP starts with a Drum and Bass cut with a One Drop of the DUB ME LOOPY tune from Riddim Dub School 5th Grade. INTIMACY COORDINATOR follows with a heavy Disco Dub. The last track on Side A is LABOUR’S DUB, with deep bass polished through spring reverb. The shakers come in late and push the whole thing forward. Side B begins with GONE TOO SOON from Riddim Dub School 4th Grade, in an alternative version. It’s followed by the most upfront track on the release CONQUERING DUB – brass fanfares and a deep disco rocker beat with minimalistic arrangement. NO DUB INNA DI WRONG ends the 7th Grade with a roots way style. It suggests that dub music doesn’t belong to or support negative, corrupt, or unjust actions or spaces. Dub music stays righteous, true, or positive, and doesn’t associate with bad vibes or wrongdoing.
