The Colorseries Mix Edition

On analog techno, Ryan Elliott and the work of Donnacha Costello

Colin here. I was doing a cleanout of an old Dropbox folder and stumbled upon some of my favorite electronic music of all time.

Here’s a quick summary from A Strangely Isolated Place:

Donnacha Costello’s ‘Color Series’ first debuted on his own label ‘Minimise’ in 2004 and over the next year or so, evolved into ten releases which to this day remain some of my favourite vinyl records. With influences ranging from Aphex Twin, Plastikman, Autechre, Model 500 and Farley Jackmaster Funk, Donnacha reached into new territory with this series, combining his love of synths, techno music and in many instances, ambient music, to produce a collectable and sought after series of vinyl, and a defining style of music for many of today’s producers.

Now, the goldmine I found was a folder from friend of WITI Ryan Elliott’s thoughtful mix of all of these records. Ryan is in my top 3 favorite DJs and I’ve always found this to be an inspired piece of music.
