This is a 100% vinyl mix from Type boss John Twells (aka Xela) and Barge Records boss Ian Lawrence. The two Greater Boston residents came together to create Spectral Rehab, a monthly night at Central Square’s River Gods bar, playing a sprawling selection of haunted off-world pop music and gurgling drones. The mix is a sort of mission statement, blending Ian’s love of dub and post-punk with John’s rap and noise cravings to come up with an endearing splatter of fine tunes. If you’re in the Boston area, get on down, have a drink and enjoy the selections.
