‘The excitement surrounding Bucharest’s dubstep sensation TRG has been steadily growing with Mary Anne Hobbs championing his first release, Put You down/ Broken Heart on BBC Radio 1, followed by an enviable music press coverage in ATM, iDJ, Mixmag, Dummy, One Week To Live and support from the blogosphere.

Releasing later tracks on Hotflush, Hessle Audio, Subway, Immerse, Audio Freakz have put TRG firmly on the music map, with sonic excursions from dubbed-out minimal finesse to mutant garage revival to full-on breakbeat mayhem.
Says Pitchfork:”More evidence that swing is in the air comes from an unlikely location: Romanian producer TRG.

As new school dubstep wallows in mid-range distorted synths and energy through b-line modulation, this producer seems to have found a rich vein of form inspired by dubstep’s earliest years.”

Drawing from a range of influences that include Basic Channel, early jungle, dark garage, classic dancehall and wonky electro, TRG’s tracks and remixes by Martyn or 2562 have been rinsed by diverse DJs such as Mary Anne Hobbs, Tayo, Skream, Benga, Benji B, Gilles Peterson, Kode 9, DJ Flight, Bailey, Pinch, Distance, Appleblim.

The tunes have garnered praise from dubstep, minimal, techno to breakbeat and drumandbass scenes. His remix work includes interpretations for Tayo, Baobinga, Black Canvas to name a few. His collab with Benga and garage/ dnb don Zinc has been released on the influential Red Bull Music Academy Various Assets Compilation.

With appearances on the genre defining Dubstep Allstars mixed CD series on Tempa and a forthcoming single on the same label, as well as being included on mighty Soul Jazz Records’ Steppaz Delight compilation, TRG sets the mark for eclectic bass music in 2008.’

Immigrant Recordings

Subeena, 22, conventionally and bureaucratically Italian with Bulgarian violinist parents.

Before moving to London Subeena lived in Berlin.
Subeena is simply her first name spelled wrong, it’s not bass or sub related…

Subeena & Dot were both making tunes but didn’t know what exactly to do with them so they started their own label called Immigrant Recordings. Immigrant Recordings for obvious reasons.

Platform 1 is a nice small no budget night Subeena helps out with at Corsica Studios in Elephant and Castle - every second Thursday of the month.

Dot is from slovenia aged 22. Moved to london round 3 years ago, been making music for quite a while now.
Completely inspired by DMZ nights.
The majority of Dot’s music created from now on will be licensed by Creative Commons licenses.

Platform 1 is a non-profit night providing a platform for dubstep, grime, niche & all new underground music.

Up and coming djs and producers get a chance to play alongside known heavyweights and by keeping the entrance fee stupidly low (£4)

Platform 1 are about giving everyone a chance to experience the famous dubstep family vibes without the damage to the bank balance.

Corsica Studios also has a beautiful Funktion 1 Soundsystem and a covered outdoor smoking area!

Platform 1 is streamed live on www.streamizm.com
So if you want to check past sets or just can’t make it you can listen and view the whole night live or check these archives of past events!

Forensix(mcr)

Forensix (mcr) was turned on to the sound of dubstep through some mixes he picked up at the end of 2005; it was a sound that - to him- was very fresh and ultimately like nothing else he had heard.

With the aid of a decreped PC a copy of reason and a copy of cubase he started experimenting with making dubstep tunes, it wasnt long before his tunes started being played on Sub FM, Rinse & Breaks FM and with the support of the Velvet Muff Crew amongst others he signed 1st Dynasty to the primarily breaks label Revolution music.

With starting his label Covetous Records together with VMC member Bagelator and together with a full time job 2007 has not seen many new beats from Forensix (mcr)

Bitesize Beats has been creating mixes for a number of years now, and has seen radio play from a variety of respected mix shows, such as ninja tune’s solid steel, the rinse on Xfm, and back to the basics (BTTB) in Germany. he comes very much from the cut + paste school of digital dj-ing, creating all mixes entirely in ableton live. never content to stick to a single style, previous bitesize beats mixes have taken in alt hip-hop, dubstep, electronica, ambient, soul, downtempo etc - often in the space of a single mix. ableton is used as a tool to cut up, re-arrange, re-edit and layer tracks to take them into new directions - vocal tracks blended with instrumentals, live tracks layered with electronics. the result is a smoothly blended journey of a mix, weaving together different genres and flowing seamlessly between tunes from start to finish.

Wireman is the production name of Glasgow based producer Andrew Langfield.

Inspired by life, science fiction and electronic music of every genre Andrew’s Bass heavy productions are rooted in techno, infused with a dirty acid undercurrent and a love for deep, dubbed out sound-scapes.

On the foundations of solid grooves and glitched broken rhythms, Andrew forges a sound that encompasses harsh metallic textures and synthetic ambient drones all played over a backdrop of dusty circuitry, static, crackle and hum.

The future will see the continued development of this sound. Deep, bass heavy music that blur’s the lines between Techno, Dub-step and IDM.

Wireman has chosen tracksby artists whom he feels have influenced him into making music, artists whose music he loves and respects.

Syntheme is a Berlin-based artist from the UK. There is little known about Syntheme, who keeps very discreet. She has so far released two albums, Vol: 1 from Planet Mu, and Lov3 from ‘Weme’.
Her works make heavy usage of sophisticated acid and bass lines upon solid drum sequences, ambient soft synth layers, and occasionally various heavily-edited audio samples. Syntheme brilliantly fuses very fresh minimal techno with the robust and harmonic foundation of mid-90’s acid.
Syntheme is playing Bristol on the 18th of April and triptych festival on the 26th of April

MONOLITH chose the name because of it a direct link to where he comes from, a little town near Stonehenge. Stonehenge is a Monolith. It also has a link to the monophonic sources he uses. Monolith believes his music is strongly influenced by my surroundings and the hardware he uses.

Originally Influenced by old Autechre (especially 1993: Incunabula and 1994: Amber), Aphex Twin, Plaid and generally by acidquirks, amenbreaks and beautiful melodies.

Vertical67 then discovered Squarepushers “Feed Me Weird Things,” listened and it was like BOOOM, love Squarepusher.
Now heavily influenced by contemporary figures such as Planet Mu’s Boxcutter. An admirer of sixties Psychedelic Rock and some Hip-Hop, reggae and also some dubstep stuff too.

The Village Orchestra

Is every avant garde muso just a frustrated pop singer, sworn to mete their vexation upon our ears? It’s a question cryptically answered in the affirmative by Glasgow’s Ruaridh Law, aka The Village Orchestra. Law’s debut album Et In Arcadia Ego’ (Highpoint Lowlife Recordings) contained a litany of side-swipes and in-jokes which referenced a youthful love for pure chart perfection. The only difficulty was excavating beneath layers of found sound, reverb, concréte and glitch to find the often starkly quotidian source data.

However, rather than merely forming an intellectual parlour game, or symbolising an attempt at pastiche, swaddled in the protective balm of ennui, the results more than stand on their own merit. ‘Et In Arcadia…’ was a triumph of thick, dense melody and brittle clicks and pulses which combined to create an immersive and emotionally arresting soup. From the fragile sine waves which herald album opener ‘COSHH’, through ‘Jacob Bad Hand At Cards V2′, replete with 4/4 bass drums and as near as electronica comes to a “hands-in-the-air” bassline, to the final destination of ‘In Arcadia’, resembling as it does Apocalypse Now soundtracked afresh; listening to the album constitutes a manifestly narrative experience.

Law is one third of Glasgow/London collective The Marcia Blaine School For Girls, whose long-awaited album Halfway Into The Woods finally surfaced in early 2007, fifteen months behind Et in Arcadia.. after many EPs and compilation appearances . Whilst the Marcia Blaine material is clearly more maximal, owing to its collaborative nature, The Village Orchestra presents a stark, coherent musical vision. Excursions in ambient drone with his Accrual project, and multimedia activity as part of Rose & Sandy mean that the number of labels Law has worked with in the past five years runs into double figures. Motivation is clearly not a problem.

Future releases include another album for Highpoint Lowlife in 2008, an appearance on the Highpoint release Magnetism… That Electricity with Marcia Blaine, Fisk Industries and The Mandlebrot Set, plus a combined 12”/CDR release entitled The Dark Is Rising on Stuff Records, scheduled for the spring. Showcasing Law’s main audio touchstone, this latter collection is his most overtly techno-induced work to date. Often found weaving a dancefloor tapestry comprised of anything and everything electronic at Glasgow’s Numbers club night, the sometime DJ Law is evidently no stranger to the means and methods of cutting up some rug. By fusing the washes of sound which characterise his work to date with a more pervasive rhythmic texture, …Dark Is Rising extrapolates the contradictions of stillness and momentum which made his first album so beguiling.

David ‘Ramadanman’ hails from north London, but now lives near Bournemouth and goes to university in Leeds. He has been DJing from the age of 14, beginning with deep house and hip hop, becoming attracted to hip-hop and jungle as he grew older.

Ramadanman has been interested in music all his life, and began producing by recording keyboard songs onto cassettes. After learning how to make music on computer, Ramadanman started to use his brother’s copy of Fruity Loops at around the age of 15. He has stuck with this program ever since.

He heard about dubstep through making grime instrumentals, after several people commented that his beats sounded like it. Inspired by a Mala set after reaching FWD for the first time in April 2006, Ramadanman became involved in the dubstep scene. He made many tunes that summer after moving house, two of which he had professionally mastered at Transition Studios. These tunes were digitally released as WAVs, and were sold directly to DJs through Dubstepforum.com.

Since then Ramadanman has put out two more digital releases, and has seen his music appear on vinyl. His tune ‘Response’ was the first release on Bare Dubs, and the anthemic ‘Good Feelin’ came out on 2nd Drop Records with a Jamie Woon remix on the flipside. In late 2007 his track ‘Every Next Day’ opened proceedings on the compilation Box Of Dub 2, released by the legendary Soul Jazz Records. He has enjoyed DJ support from Skream, Kode9, Distance, Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob da Bank and many more.

Ramadanman decided to start a record label called Hessle Audio with fellow students Ben UFO and Pangaea at the start of 2007 and the first release by TRG sold out within weeks. He is involved in organizing the Leeds’ first 100% dubstep night ‘Ruffage’, as well as hosting a weekly show on internet radio station Sub FM. 2007 has seen Ramadanman DJ in UK cities such as London, Leeds, Bristol, Nottingham, York, Brighton, Cambridge, Stoke and Durham as well as international bookings in Amsterdam, Berlin and Brussels.

He has performed alongside dubstep artists such as Digital Mystikz, Skream, Benga, Kode9, D1, Rusko, Kromestar, Plastician, Mary Anne Hobbs, Heny G, Scuba and Headhunter. With more releases forthcoming on Soul Jazz as well as Hessle Audio, things are looking promising for Ramadanman in 2008.
