Hexstatic – Biography

Hexstatic are Stuart Warren-Hill and Robin Brunson, and together they have been consistently breaking new ground in Audio and Visual entertainment.

From their early work producing video’s for Coldcut and co-producing the seminal AV piece ‘Timber’, they then went on to sign to Ninjatune records and release the UK’s first fully audio visual album ‘Rewind’ in 2000.

Then followed the critically acclaimed ‘Listen and Learn’ mix for Ninja’s Solid Steel series in 2003 and CD/DVD release ‘Master View’ in 2004, another first with the accompanying DVD containing many 3D videos!

In 2006 they produced the Pick N Mix CD for Sanctuary records and in June 2007 released their 3rd studio album ‘When Robots Go Bad’. That and a cheeky host of bootlegs over the years under the Exactshit moniker.

Since their first tentative shows at early Big Chill events Hexstatic have become one of the worlds premier Audio Visual acts presenting spectacular shows around the globe containing their irreverant take on dance music with big injections of humour and good party times. They closed last years Big Chill with a celebration of the festival’s 15 years, a spectactualr performance that encompassed live Batucada and Capoeira and a special collaboration with beat box maestro Shlomo.

From dirty AV all-nighters at London’s 333 to the massive Electraglide shows in Tokyo. From Working Mens club launch parties in 3D to playing on a wall of water from the middle of the Thames, from illegal Guerilla gigs on the streets of London, Hexstatic have done it all.

2010 see’s several projects from Hexstatic, Stuart leading a foray into the world of 3D performance with his ‘Holotronica’ project and Robin producing a new AV show and release entitled ‘Trailer Trax’,.. a bass heavy dance floor journey into the world of cut up ‘Drive-In’ style movie trailers and intermissions.

The new label is essentially set up to release new Hexstatic projects we have coming this year and it means we have more control and more room to experiment. Ninja  are publishing and promoting it aswell. I’m also on the lookout for new talent and hopefully these first releases will help it grow into something that can support other work.

The album is kind of going back to what I’ve done best in the past really, back to basics beats and bass fuelled by video samples, much in the same way people have done with music. There is quite a lot of dubstep influence on there as it’s something I’d been listening to for a while but never made the real jump to produce or DJ until now, but I think the genre has become really inspiring of late and producers like Akira Kiteshi, Reso and George Lenton really pricked up my ears, along with that sort of L.A. Sound that’s going on at the moment,..it sounds really fresh and new,..much like the first time I heard Planet Rock. We had experimented with that kind of sound in the past with ‘Distorted Minds’ from Master View back in 2004 but never really took it further.

The album also has lots of other influences,..drum and bass, techno, early electro,..all the stuff that’s influenced me over the years and the music I’ve always DJ’d in my sets.

“From my point of view, Yardcore is without doubt the best internet radio show out there. The club nights always attract the kind of producers that I wanna go see. The radio show was until recently fortnightly, but now monthly. If your into ragga jungle, breakcore, techno, dubstep then give it a listen…. and join the chat room @ sub.fm” Rob

Gemmy – Purple Pictures Mix

“100th show, wanted to get Gemmy on the show for freaking ages !!   “Dolla Digital” – fav track of 09  ….  30 minute all Gemmy production, its so fucking good”

They don’t call Bristol the “second city of dubstep” for nothing. Its wealth of talented producers are currently pushing the boundaries of a genre that is rapidly developing in all sorts of directions, with Gemmel “Gemmy” Phillips leading the front line of its latest wave. Alongside his purple compadres Joker and Guido, the three are pushing a majestically colourful take on the sub-heavy sound of today, sculpting their own unique sound that marks them out from pretty much anyone in the scene.

Gemmy’s musical journey started with his love of hip-hop, before being taken aback by the inventiveness and pure dancefloor power of grime, UK garage and drum’n’bass. After picking up turntables and getting to grips with the kaleidoscope of sound being thrust onto his ears, Gemmy took the next natural step and started to create his own beats, refusing to be tied to any genre. Determined to carve out his own sonic niche, Gemmy began to mesh together the two great loves of his childhood—the swaggering G-funk beats of Dr. Dre, and the clean and colourful melodies of 16-bit console classics like Sonic The Hedgehog—with some additional low-end histrionics for maximum dance floor impact.

The burgeoning dubstep scene in his home city certainly had its influence, and keen to get his sound out to a wider audience, he began to give his tracks out to respected artists and DJs in the local community. The strength of his material certainly stood out, with dubplates of his tracks flying out of the local cutting emporium by eager DJs looking to destroy Bristol’s dance floors with his undeniably infectious and rabble rousing compositions. With its screeching lead synth and undulating bass riff, “Bk 2 The Future” emerged as both a crowd and selectors’ favourite, showing a producer who possessed the uncommon trait of knowing how to wobble with measure and restraint. After hearing the sub-low churn of his “Bass Transmitter” track, Punch Drunk boss Peverelist felt determined to sign both tracks to his label, with the 12-inch making a real splash on the international scene.

The success of the Punch Drunk release meant that Gemmy was quickly snatched up by Planet Mu boss Mike Paradinas to join the new wave of dubstep-related artists that have become the vanguard of the label, with the “Supligen” and “Johnny 5” releases continuing Gemmy’s rich run of form.

Radio 1’s dubstep doyenne Mary Anne Hobbs has also taken the producer under her wing, signing up the delightfully wonky “Rainbow Road” to her Wild Angels compilation, further bolstering his already highly regarded position in the international bass music community.

Gemmy is currently working on his debut album for Planet Mu.

“What started out as a mix soon turned into a whole bunch of home-made mashes, set out in a series of chapters and separated by incidental random instrument stabs, plucks and coughs. There are only a few tunes on there that remain unadulterated.

So for the most part, unlikely combinations, accapellas and classical loops, not consecutive songs” Mr Zygadlo

FACEBOOK

Rudi Zygadlo is a musician like no other, taking the fundamentals of Dubstep in a direction that is as unexpected as it is unique, he’s created an amalgamation of pop song writing with Dubstep, rewired using influences as wide as Frank Zappa, Eastern European Classical music and contemporary US Indie, he’s tipped for great things in 2010.

He describes his music essentially as a fusion, a form of music he’s had in his head which has brought together his influences into a new format. The music he’s due to release in 2010 sounds effortless and completely natural. ‘Resealable Friendship’ is his debut single followed by his album ‘Great Western Laymen’ which comes out in May.

The single is about a Special Friendship he’s developed, the rest is open to interpretation, but the song reconditions pop music for Rudi’s purposes and musical vision.

Two of Planet Mu’s brightest stars have reinterpreted the song with their remixes, here, Starkey takes the song on a lonely journey into space and Slugabed puts in a mix where the voice drifts in and out of a stop start, rippling bass line and punchy drums.

The EP finishes off with the strange ‘The Udu and the Clave’, an instrumental that combines Zappa-like chromatics with juddering synths and wobbles.

“we are both alive, and terrific”

All tracks are bass clef remixes/re-edits of tunes I love, most of them radically changed teaching myself to use a computer slowly

This mix is made up of tracks all written in the last year and shows the more frenetic side of my music. I’m from a Techno and Electro background (Real Electro NOT Electro House Bo!!ocks!) but dubstep has totally opened up another level of syncopation for me so I’m really enjoying the ryhthmic freedom i have, (I’m also a Drummer) and of course the cavernous low end as always….

Hope you like it. AL TOURETTES

AL TOURETTES – Dodgem / Sunken
APPLE PIPS
12″ // £5.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Oct 2009
Catalogue Number: PIPS008

This item is to the best of our knowledge available to us from the supplier and should ship to you within the time-frame indicated. If there are any unforeseen issues with availability we will notify you immediately.

Deep tripping techy styles from Apple Pips with their second drop of the week. Al Tourettes hails from Bristol and follows in that rich heritage of electronically enhanced bass music, folowing the tech-stepping lineage from the Full Cycle crew or Tech Itch through to Peverelist and RSD with two intricately programmed and darkly tinted killers. ‘Dodgems’ on the A-side is more compatible for the dubstep crew with skittering 140bpm syncopations also belying an electro influence from the likes of Two Lone Swordsmen and Ae, while the flipside cuts into a tricky techno groove reminding of Kontext with a more driving intent. If you’ve checked any of Appleblim’s DJ sets recently you’ll have no doubt heard both these cuts rinsed out.

“Its my debut dubstep/funky/etc. mix. I wanted to sum up year 2009 and picked up tunes which were my favorites in this kind of genre.  Also there are some tunes from my upcoming album on Immerse Records called Dissociate LP.” Kontext

KONTEXT – Convex Curved Mirror
IMMERSE
12″ // £5.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Apr 2009
Catalogue Number: IME011

This item is to the best of our knowledge available to us from the supplier and should ship to you within the time-frame indicated. If there are any unforeseen issues with availability we will notify you immediately.

Kontext’s double drop of twelves on Immerse last year sent ripples of excitement through lovers of the techy end of dubstep, picking up massive fans in the form of T++, Peverelist and Appleblim to champion his ultra hi-tech and futurist sound. From his base in St Petersburg, Stanislav Sevostyanikhin has welded another stark and austere dubstepXtechno statement of intent on ‘Curved Convex Mirror’, using a similar palette of elasticated electronics and drawing rhythmic inspiration from 2562/AMS in the well sculpted subbass and fluctuating garage-rhythmic syncopations, but also a streamlined and rolling edge taken from the more European techno style of icy Russian electronics. One aspect was clearly apparent from those first two 12″s, that Kontext is a master of creating tense and dramatic sonic vistas, with ‘Hometown Swamp’ he sets a darkened scene with atmospheres reminiscent of the finest Chain Reaction tracks from Fluxion or Vainqueur before bringing them up to date with a powerful garage infected pressure sounding like TRG jamming with Pole. If you picked up either of first two 12″s you’ve probably been waiting for this one, but if you’ve never heard of this guy, get to know! KILLER!!!

KONTEXT – Falling to Weightlessness
IMMERSE
12″ // £5.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Jul 2008
Catalogue Number: IME009PT1

Absolute killer 12″ alert! One of our favourite Bristol bassed labels Immerse have dug up a couple of complete shockers from a name soon to be very familiar to many dubstep and Techno heads, Kontext. This is the first material we’ve heard from this fella and it’s quite easily some of the finest gear we’ve clapped lugs on this year, fusing the much loved tech styles of T++ with some proper Bristol bass science for two tracks that have totally ripped the head off it. ‘Falling to weightlessness’ introduces himself with a devastatingly minimal riddim constructed from pure bass pressure punctuated with skittering off-kilter percussion akin to Torsten Profrock’s finest moments, while the spectral synthline and deep electronica vibes could be cut from an Autechre side project (well, in our dreams maybe?). ‘Aeromonarchs attacks’ on the flip cuts into a much deeper rhythm, flexing some scarily toned bass muscle with a honed dancefloor intent that will politely ask any shit dancers to kindly step off the floor please. This is without a doubt the best thing to have emerged from Immerse and quite possibly one of the finest 12″s you’ll hear all year. Listen!

KONTEXT – Plumes / Blinkende Stjerne
IMMERSE
12″ // £5.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Jul 2008
Catalogue Number: IME009PT2

If you’ve managed to pick yourself off the floor after ingesting the first 12″ from Kontext, sit yourself down for a second and check the styles on this badboy. Not content with mastering the art of 140bpm dubstepXtech on the first 12″, Kontext turns his hand to two brutally bass laden techno cuts for the second installment. ‘Plumes’ sits heavy on the A-side with a purest subbass driven tech-house cut speckled with lush synthwork, but it’s the flipside track ‘Blinkende Stjerne’ that really takes the piss, charging up another divebombing subbass mission with dry funked and brittle techno percussion before introducing awesome Monolake style atmospherics of the highest calibre. It’s safe to say this an absolute essential, and fans of everyone from Peverelist to Villalobos need to give this some very close attention. Recommended!!!

Biography:

Born in Venezuela, now living in Barcelona, Luis Garbán is one of a swarm of talents rising up in zero-degree gravity spots around the world: blurring the lines between many genres in electronica as easily as he crosses geographical borders. Having released two  full length albums on Murder Channel and Peace Off , and with a slew of EPs under his belt on Shockout, True Tiger, Ad Noiseam, Lo Dubs, Spectraliquid,  and Hyperdub, it’s little wonder Fact Magazine named him as one of their producers to watch in ‘09.

CARDOPUSHER – “Mutant Dubstep vol.2″
September 2008 – Spectraliquid SLQ004

Luis Garban aka Cardopusher has been releasing a serious number of records these past couple years for labels such as Ad Noiseam, Peace-off, Intellectual Violence, Mirex, Cock Rock Disco & Wrong Music, Terminal Dusk and more. Now, Cardopusher returns with a blasting new EP on Spectraliquid Records, the sequel to “Mutant Dubstep vol.1″ by UK’s Ebola. What you should expect from “Mutant Dubstep vol.2″ is 3 brand new sonic tracks, evolving around dubstep, hard electronics and breakcore explosions produced by the mastermind himself. 100% adrenaline, killer sound production and 2 ultra-heavy remixes by Pacheko and Innasekt, this album is coming out to add another significant moment to the ever expanding dubstep-influenced movement. Low bass frequencies give their place to powerful melodic parts, while at the same moment sinking to sick, rhythmic basslines and solid drum parts. There definitely isn’t so much stuff sounding that good out there so don’t hesitate to get this excellent release. Add a beautiful digipack packaging designed by wonderful graphic designer Mario Ferer and you’ve got the perfect combination at hand. Recommended.

This is the second release out of 3 in total of the “MUTANT DUBSTEP” series.

1. Toothsmasher
2. Collapsible Shelter

CARDOPUSHER – Milk Thistle / Double Dragon
LO DUBS
12″ // £6.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Dec 2008
Catalogue Number: LODUBS120810

Over the last couple of years Cardopusher has steadily developed his ultra intense edit style from Breakcore rhythms into a well diced form of dubstep with releases on Damage, Terminal Dusk and Redvolume and receiving a Quarta 330 remix on Hyperdub. His first release proper for Lo Dubs slots into the label’s aesthetic perfectly with turbo fuelled dubstep rave riddims similar to stable mates DZ or 6Blocc but light years ahead in the edit stakes, just check title tune ‘Milk Thistle’ to see what can be done with the gnarly mid range synth style as he freaks the flow into constantly mutating patterns whilst still keeping it strictly skanky for the dubstep faithful. ‘Double Dragon’ on the flip shows the connection ith Quarta 330 as he spanks the theme from the computer game of the same name with an ornate 8-bit dubstep refix that fans of Rustie or Goth Trad will be clamming for. Heavy goods from the west coast’s finest.

===================

QUARTA 330 / CARDOPUSHER – Homeless (Quarta 330 rmx) / Sabacco
Hyperdub
12″ // £5.49
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Dec 2008
Catalogue Number: HDB017

Hyperdub’s unique Japanese talent Quarta 330 makes a welcome second appearance for the label with a further 8-bit development backed with his sensationally screwed remix of Cardopusher’s ‘Homeless’. His first Hyperdub outing was a brilliantly imagined gameboy version of Kode 9’s ‘9 Samurai’, but ‘Sabacco’ is an entirely new producion, built from similar elements like the finely squeezed game melodies, but also adds a killer swing-stepping rhythm to the cause with twitching snare rushes and spherical hi hat revolutions for somehting far advanced from his earlier release. But fear not 8-Bit freaks, his remix of Cardopusher’s ‘Homeless’ returns to the piquant electro territories with a hard skanking variant heavily compressed into shape and skating on slick silicon heels, with strafing bass and electro juiced edits making for 6 minutes of pure dancefloor funtimes. Off it!

===================

CARDOPUSHER / ATKI2 / STARKEY – Down To The Wire (Starkey / Atki2 Mixes)
Terminal Dusk Records
12″ // £7.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Aug 2008
Catalogue Number: TD007

Restless post-breakcore steppers from Cardopusher for Terminal Dusk with yet another ace remix from Starkey (his 3rd this week?!?!) and Atki2. Over the 4 original tracks from Cardopusher the man manages to cram in as many edits and DSP’d riddims as humanly possible, making fro a skilled but slightly claustrophobic take on the whole dubstep ting. Starkey picks out the best elements of ‘Knock yuh out’ for his remix, and places thumping industrial drums work into acres of reverberant warehouse space, while Atki2 places moody dub chords over his remix of ‘Keep on truckin’, lending some Bristol cool to Cardopusher’s frantic beatwork.

Access To Arasaka
I’ve included a clip from a remix for ESA (coming soon from Tympanik), as well as 3 unreleased Access To Arasaka songs.

The clip of ‘Seraphic/8x’ is an old song, from 3 or 4 years ago. I don’t know that it will ever see a proper release, as my inspiration for that particular concept album has since subsided.

Term/Echo is actually from the upcoming album void(); and has been heard only by Paul from ‘Tympanik,’ so that’s pretty much a world premiere.

Photons is from the even more upcoming album Paragon.

I hope you enjoy,

From his base in St Petersburg, Stanislav Sevostyanikhin has welded another stark and austere dubstepXtechno statement of intent on ‘Curved Convex Mirror’, using a similar palette of elasticated electronics and drawing rhythmic inspiration from 2562/AMS in the well sculpted subbass and fluctuating garage-rhythmic syncopations, but also a streamlined and rolling edge taken from the more European techno style of icy Russian electronics.

One aspect was clearly apparent from those first two 12″s, that Kontext is a master of creating tense and dramatic sonic vistas, with ‘Hometown Swamp’ he sets a darkened scene with atmospheres reminiscent of the finest Chain Reaction tracks from Fluxion or Vainqueur before bringing them up to date with a powerful garage infected pressure sounding like TRG jamming with Pole.

If you picked up either of first two 12″s you’ve probably been waiting for this one, but if you’ve never heard of this guy, get to know! KILLER!!!

KONTEXT – Falling to Weightlessness
IMMERSE
12″ // £5.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Jul 2008
Catalogue Number: IME009PT1

Absolute killer 12″ alert! One of our favourite Bristol bassed labels Immerse have dug up a couple of complete shockers from a name soon to be very familiar to many dubstep and Techno heads, Kontext.

This is the first material we’ve heard from this fella and it’s quite easily some of the finest gear we’ve clapped lugs on this year, fusing the much loved tech styles of T++ with some proper Bristol bass science for two tracks that have totally ripped the head off it. ‘Falling to weightlessness’ introduces himself with a devastatingly minimal riddim constructed from pure bass pressure punctuated with skittering off-kilter percussion akin to Torsten Profrock’s finest moments, while the spectral synthline and deep electronica vibes could be cut from an Autechre side project (well, in our dreams maybe?).

‘Aeromonarchs attacks’ on the flip cuts into a much deeper rhythm, flexing some scarily toned bass muscle with a honed dancefloor intent that will politely ask any shit dancers to kindly step off the floor please. This is without a doubt the best thing to have emerged from Immerse and quite possibly one of the finest 12″s you’ll hear all year. Listen!

KONTEXT – Plumes / Blinkende Stjerne
IMMERSE
12″ // £5.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Jul 2008
Catalogue Number: IME009PT2

If you’ve managed to pick yourself off the floor after ingesting the first 12″ from Kontext, sit yourself down for a second and check the styles on this badboy. Not content with mastering the art of 140bpm dubstepXtech on the first 12″, Kontext turns his hand to two brutally bass laden techno cuts for the second installment.

‘Plumes’ sits heavy on the A-side with a purest subbass driven tech-house cut speckled with lush synthwork, but it’s the flipside track ‘Blinkende Stjerne’ that really takes the piss, charging up another divebombing subbass mission with dry funked and brittle techno percussion before introducing awesome Monolake style atmospherics of the highest calibre. It’s safe to say this an absolute essential, and fans of everyone from Peverelist to Villalobos need to give this some very close attention. Recommended!!!

“I wanted to do something a bit different to the other mixes I’ve done recently. This one tries to join the dots between some of the housey UK tunes that have come out of dubstep and funky with US house that sounds like dubstep. (well it does to me anyway) There’s some recent collabs from me and Roska in there too”     UNTOLD

Untold

UNTOLD – Flexible
Brainmath
12″ // £6.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Dec 2009
Catalogue Number: MATH05

Not content with p*ssing all over the competition with a slew of scene defining records, Untold presents the primal-futurist swing of ‘Flexible’ on a 1-sided pressing for Brainmath. There’s no second guessing his productions at the moment, apart from the fact that they are guaranteed to mess up your dancefloor in brilliant style. ‘Flexible’ meshes the hype tension of the Wiley’s menacingly minimal Devil mixes with the sort of melodious thunk that Shackleton has locked down to programme a slyly experimental riddim made for DJs to screw into equally minimal gear or even find the right a capella to suit its itchy nature. Fans of Anstam, Joe, Ramadanman, and Roska gotta be quick with this one! Killer 12″.

UNTOLD – I Can’t Stop This Feeling / Anaconda
HESSLE AUDIO
12″ // £5.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: May 2009
Catalogue Number: HES008

**Blue Vinyl** Tense and tracky jams from Dubstep-dude-of-the-minute, Untold. Hessle Audio push the boat out with their latest release, pressing up two of their most experimental and tool-like cuts onto translucent blue vinyl to get the wax fiends hot. ‘I Can’t Stop This Feeling’ is Untold’s second drop for the label, improving on his previous 12″ with a sharper palette of sounds and a dedicated dancefloor vibe stripping back to pure bass, tension raising strings and clattering drum machine samples. Ther’s barely any trace of melody to this track, allowing for streamlined mixing potential with compatibly techy steppers riddims. ‘Anaconda’ on the flip is just as sparse, maintaining an economical sound using only thick subbass bumps, finely processed percussion and cartoonish bleeps to create a oddly abstract and inversely funky riddim. Sick twelve – especially the a-side…….

Look out for “F – Energy Distortion [UNTOLD Remix]” in early 2010 … early doors contender for remix of 2010

Shawhin I. Audio engineer/guitarist out of Austin, Texas.

Decided to make a garage and 2-step influenced beats 2 yrs ago under the moniker The Solar Constant.

After a quick debate between making computer music and returning to a traditional band based song structure, Shawhin decided to resurrect his love for melding 2-step, R&B and avant garde. Making tunes as VVV.

After gaining fan and dj support, VVV decided to focus his musical attention on writing.. look for forthcoming 12″ records in 1st-2nd qtrs 2010.

For this mix i have pulled together a bundle of tracks- old, new, unreleased,and my own.the mix is more catered toward the experimental side of things rather than dancefloor, although there are a few tracks in here that break that mould.

I’ve put in a  few influences and sections of tracks that i love – as well as some on the fly remix things and some synth playing. There’s a few unreleased numbers in here too that ive picked up from mates.

XXXY – Reflections
MINDSET
MP3 Release // £1.95
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Aug 2009
Catalogue Number: MINDSET004

Mindset Recordings are yet to put a foot wrong and this latest 12″ from XxXy should position them as one of the UK’s finest dubtech imprints. XxXy may be better known to the dubstep community as Forensix Mcr but in his new guise he’s keenly focussed his energies on a pristine dubtech sound aiming for that school populated by F, Peverelist or Ghostleigh. A-side cut ‘Reflections’ is our favourite, keeping it simple with quick stepping rhythms driving the dance and given space with ever-expanding dub chords. Quick tip for the slow-house crew, play this on 33 and you’ve got a mean Workshop style slow groove! Flip over for two cuts heavily influenced by Dave Huismans, firstly ‘Constant’ snapping with 2562 styel percussion and and powerful subs, or the A Made Up Sound alike ‘Silken’ slipping in that niche between broken beats and dub-tech/house. Recommended!

Mindset Recording’s XXXY steps on the dubtech buttons with two lean and minimal riddims on Formant. ‘Science Fiction’ wears its Peverelist influences proudly with slick locking grooves and spacious techno-dub synthlines while ‘651′ adds some substance with dreamy chord sequences and submerged bongos.

Synth driven dubstep wonk from Hyetal racking up the latest Soul Motive drop.

This Bristolian producer has been sprinkling his bright and shiny synthlines around

the scene recently,including a track on the Mary Anne Hobbs comp and an ace Shortstuff

hookup which got picked up by 2562 and Jackmaster respectively for recent mixes.

‘Neon Speech’ is an effervescent example of electronica mixing with post-dubstep rhythms

craftily nudged for a squashed effect, while ‘Gold Or Soul’ on the flipside shifts with an

upswinging nu-garage feel etched with 8-bit melodies to entice fans of Guido or Martin Kemp.

Blue and moody dubstep tech from Bristol’s Hyetal.

The new signing to Formant delivers two tracks of deeper twisting dubstep schooled

in the styles of Headhunter, Peverelist, Scuba or Forsaken with heady tropical atmospheres

on ‘Armour’ made heavier with bulging subbass an metallic dub chords and smoky

vibes on ‘The Last Time We Spoke’. Smart.

The long wait is finally over.

remixes by Hecq and Enduser.
It was promised, announced, and expected, and here it is finally: Broken Note’s first CD. A full length compendium of this act’s misdeeds till today, “Terminal Static” is the eagerly awaited arrival of Broken Note to CD players everywhere. Turntables needed a break.

Containing as much music as one can pack on a CD, “Terminal Static” presents the material released on vinyl on Ad Noiseam, Ruff and Damage, showcasing almost two years of extreme sonic mayhem, as well as one brand new track (”Mask Of Gas”) and three remixes. Unleashed upon the world by two young London based producers, Broken Note’s tracks have taken listeners by storm since early 2008. Playing countless shows and festivals, getting insolently exposed for such a young act and receiving praises from everywhere, Broken Note are obviously the hottest thing around. As well as the hardest, the deadliest and the heaviest.

Mixing dubstep, drum’n'bass, breakcore and industrial-grade distortion, these two musicians create dancefloor-ready, fresh and intense tracks which have proved their efficiency in legion of clubs or shows. From the deepest hooks of such tracks as “Zealot” or “War In the Making” to the accurately named “Fury” and equally broken “Let ‘Em Hang”, Broken Note’s array of talent is their force, bringing together fans of shattered beats and those of heavy basses.

And finally, yes, there was more material and remixes: Broken Note and Ad Noiseam chose to present with “Terminal Static” an exhaustive compilation of this band’s past. But rest assured that more is coming.

Autumn 2009 sees Brixton’s foremost melodic electronic artist Point B releasing a full length artist album on Combat.

Fans of his electronic peers such as Kelpe, Boards of Canada, Burial, Autechre and Tipper will find this potent brew infused with reflection and bittersweet calm. Maintaining his characteristic playful sense of melody and effortlessly flitting between genres, Suicide Beauty Spot is a brooding, contemplative and dark work of beauty and is Point B’s first full-length album on Combat Recordings.

Themed around a calm, beautiful, natural contemplative place where people go to deliberately end their lives, the vibe is profoundly deep, and wanders across dubstep, 2 step garage, bleepy electronics and hip hop tempos. The sound of circuitry soaked in warm human emotion, at times it veers almost into Boards of Canada / Burial territory, but always stays within the crisp, bleepy realms of his own sound.

Whilst embracing the urban rhythms (dubstep, hip-hop, 2 step) so familiar on his 12” vinyl releases, this long player embraces some lovely live instrumentation in which the likes of his santoor, Irish harp, dulcimer and marimba animate the bass-heavy soundscapes.

Fantastic Mr Fox started producing 7 years ago at the age of 14, with his music first being picked up in 2006 by Radio 1’s Steve Lamacq.

Regular support of his early leftfield hip-hop productions from Mr Lamacq helped lead to remix work for Maps, Shitdisco, Just Jack, Soweto Kinch, Polar Bear, Fulborn Teversham, Kid Harpoon, Julia Biel, Riz MC, The Carps, Make Model, The Cansecos, Marissa Nadler, Son Lux and most recently Untold & LV.

Following his remix of Untold’s “Yukon” Fantastic Mr Fox decided to up the tempo of his productions and his first two efforts, produced along side Manchester DJ, promoter and producer Rich Reason, were signed to Untold’s Hemlock label.

A second collaborative release with Rich Reason was put out on Black Acre, whilst FMF’s remix of LV-“Don’t Judge” will soon be available on 2nd Drop Records.

Fantastic Mr Fox’s first solo release is also now finished, with the “Sketches EP” due to be released on Black Acre towards the end of 2009.

FANTASTIC MR FOX – Plimsoul
HEMLOCK
MP3 Release // £1.95
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Mar 2009
Catalogue Number: HEK003
FANTASTIC MR FOX – Plimsoul, HEMLOCK

Hemlock Recordings pull up some debut release business from Manchester’s Rich Reason in collaboration with Fantastic Mr. Fox. It’s hard to tell who’s doing what here, but the IDM traits of Mr. Fox’s previous releases are easy to pick out, while it’s also clearly apparent what’s on their recent playlists with strong elements of Zomby, TRG and Boxcutter fused into the sum of its parts. The trancing synthline on ‘Bleep Show’ will pick up fans of Ninja Tune’s electrostep and breaks types like Shuttle or those who crave for a fusion of proggy electronica with steppers pattern taken from the latest style. Promising stuff from the pair and worth a check if you like Sukh Knight, Sinden or Rob Sparx.

“I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years since I did a mix for your first show, a lot has changed since then and I’ve moved on.  I’ve chilled out a bit but with that comes more space to hear in-between the beats and more interesting sound design.  That’s the approach I took with my recent double E.P ‘Lockout’ and the mix follows the same path but with fewer vocals and more beats.

For the mix, elements were taken from all over the place and layered together, a lot of UK funky coming out at the moment reminds me of old techno and warp stuff, mixing new afro-Caribbean influenced stuff like Roska with old Latin influenced Black Dog, Cooly G with Luke Slater”

Hexadecibel Electronic Explorations Showcase Mix, July 2009

All songs written, composed, mixed and engineered by hexadecibel. Vancouver, Canada.

All tracks are licensed under Creative Commons Canada.

HxdB aka hexadecibel is a 31 year old bass music producer and DJ hailing from Vancouver Canada.

He was first introduced to bass-centric music in the mid 90s, listening to jungle and drum & bass, which captivated his imagination and inspired him to be more than just a fan of the music.

He finally took the plunge into the production realm some years ago, purchasing a basic MIDI controller and a copy of Fruity Loops and alongside his old production partner, started teaching himself the ways of the bass. Those days were fun and innocent and not much came from the venture, besides a solid foundation of music and a working knowledge of the nuts-and bolts of how to make electronic music.

7 years later and many life experiences later, he had an epiphany. DUBSTEP! This new sound completely changed the way he heard electronic music, and gave him that same feeling he had all those years ago. It was electric, dynamic, exciting music, that seemingly had no boundaries. This new sound was just the thing he needed to launch himself back in to the foray and unleash his creative energies. His first productions exceeded even his own expectations and were happily welcomed by the dubstep community, which gave him the encouragement and inspiration to forge forward and strive to improve.

Now, 2 years later, he has an impressive arsenal of fresh music to his credit, has contributed music to several film projects, scored a documentary and has releases out and forthcoming on several notable record labels, plus a legion of faithful fans who just can’t seem to get enough of his sound. His music is soulful and evocative, always sounding very lush and well-sculpted, accented by pulsating bass waves with a healthy sprinkling of ear candy. Using dubstep as the framework, he skillfully fuses elements of techno, garage and 2-step, with interesting, syncopated rhythms and creative arrangements. His sound typically has a dance floor sensibility that often times, his peers seem to forget about.

The future for this bass architect seems to be very bright and busy, with a feature on Electronic Explorations, the legendary podcast imminent, plus an increasingly in-demand DJ schedule.

He also plays a roll in helping with the operations of DJ Cure’s Aufect Recordings, and together with Cure they run Pressing Issues Recordings, which is currently working on their 3rd vinyl release. Be sure to check out his webpage for up-to-date news and tracks, http://soundcloud.com/hexadecibel.

You can also check out his previous mixes, consisting of exclusives here, http://soundcloud.com/hexadecibel/sets/hxdb-mixes

In summation, this guy is showing no signs of slowing down, with several remixes, collaborations and exciting projects currently in the works and several vinyl and digital releases coming in 2009 & 2010.

Ade Fenton Biography 2008

In 2008, Ade Fenton celebrated 10 years as an established dj and artist within the world techno scene. During that time, he has gone on to establish himself as a respected record producer for artists including electronic music legend Gary Numan, and also playing keyboards in his band.

In 1998, Fenton released the now legendary ‘Coded’ EP on his own Advanced label, and since then he has continued to deliver his own brand of harsh, twisted dancefloor beats with over 50 releases and remixes on labels such as Potential, Ground, Planet Rhythm, Audio, Zenit, Primate, Primevil and Perverter.

Fenton is also a busy international dj with a schedule that has taken him across the globe, from Europe to North and South America, from Malaysia to Australia. He has now held his residency at English techno superclub Atomic Jam for 10 years and he continues to electrify audiences worldwide with his fierce and unique dj sets that fuse thunderous techno funk and electro and combining them with his well documented love of industrial artists such as Nine Inch Nails and Aphex Twin. He has regularly appeared on BBC Radio One, recording dj sets for their ‘Live At Maida Vale’ and Mary Anne Hobbs programmes, as well as appearing on Dave Clarke’s White Noise radio show on numerous occasions.

In 2005, Fenton’s career took a dramatic twist when world famous electro-industrial godfather and innovator Gary Numan asked him to co-produce and co-engineer his album ‘Jagged’, which was released worldwide by Mortal Records in March 2006. The album was released to huge critical acclaim, reaching number 3 in the BBC Indie chart.

In 2007, the long awaited release of his debut artist album ‘Artificial Perfect’ on his industrial/electronic label Submission saw Fenton achieve cult status, a UK Top 75 chart single with ‘The Leather Sea’ and regular plays of the spectacular video for his single ‘Healing’ on MTV2.

In late 2008, Fenton returns with his first new techno release in almost two years, continues to manage a busy schedule including dj dates, live shows and festival appearances and once again teams up with Gary Numan with a new double CD ‘Jagged Edge’ and is currently in the studio producing his new album ‘Splinter’, set for release in spring 2009.

CLUBROOT – Clubroot
LO DUBS
CD // £12.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Jun 2009
Catalogue Number: LODUBSD09002CD

Fans of Burial, take note.

Lo Dubs come correct this week with a hugely enticing and anticipated album from Clubroot. Clubroot has apparently been producing for the best part of the decade, initially constructing tech step D’n'B indebted to the likes of Nico, Ed Rush and Optical but shifting his palette to the dominant dubstep style in recent years.

To sum up Clubroots sound as succinctly as possible, it’s like the perfect hybrid of Burial and Kryptic Minds, taking the mood driven atmospheres and quicksilver slink of Burial and alloying it to dynamic basslines and intricately produced rhythm structures. This combination is explored through ten tracks united by a singular rhythmic vision in thrall to classic darkside dance music and operating under the cover of severely occluded atmospheres. With Mary-Anne Hobbs fully on his case and forums across the interweb quickly catching onto his sound it’s not going to be long before he’s soundtracking every channel four ident so make sure to get in early! Essential recommendation for fans of Burial!!!

BIO:

KID606 is dedicated to bringing his uniquely reckless fucked up and beautiful music to our fucked up and beautiful world. Insipired by the best of electronica, punk, jungle, hiphop, bass, dancehall and techno, Kid606 Fuses it all together with a love of pop culture that Andy Warhol would approve of. Apart from running the labels Tigerbeat6, Shockout, and Tigerbass, Kid606 has performed all around the world many times over, and released records on highly regarded labels such as Ipecac, Wichita, Mille Plateaux, Fatcat, Souljazz, and Carpark. His highly original productions helped spearhead and define the edgy and confrontational glitch and mashup styles that are now common in modern music production. His album “Down with the scene” (2000) was a landmark release for the burgeoning international electronic music scene, with everything from hardcore ragga jungle and serene ambient to abstract IDM and the dubby soul classic “Secrets 4 Sale” with Mike Patton. Things only got more exciting as Kid606 delved deep into the seedy overworld of mainstream music with critically acclaimed unofficial remixes that many people wanted to hear yet no one else was willing to make. All the while releasing his own original and diverse productions as well as official remixes for Amon Tobin, the Rapture, the Locust, Foetus, Depeche Mode, The Bug, Peaches, Dälek, Ellen Allien, Saul Williams, Super Furry Animals, and countless others.

His new album “Shout at the Döner” drops late April, and is easily his most accomplished record to date, it combines all the brash and exciting plunderphonic and sampledelic elements he is best known for with a whole new world of uncharacteristically musical and danceable hooks and styles which are both fresh and timeless. 606 draws on some of his biggest electronic influences like LFO, AFX, Mike Ink, Green Velvet, Mouse on Mars, the Prodigy, Daft Punk, Shizuo, Mr. Oizo and Giorgio Moroder, to make bold and powerful songs about the decline of America, leaving California, broken hearts,drunken hook-ups, social phobias, soulless partying, economic downfall, gnarly basslines, ego worship, moving to berlin, diva vocals, baltimore club, obsessive compulsive disorder, the best parts of horror movies, acidhouse, ADHD, shameless irony, speed garage, megalomania, LSD, satanism and the ever prevalent Döner Kebab, arguably europe’s best late night cuisine to consume on the way home from from the club, (Especially if you had to much to drink!).
We think this release is the Kid’s first successful stab at what we like to call “schizotronics” actually combining elements of many different Dance music styles into new songs without pretension,trying to hard to fit into any trendy genre, or losing the joy and energy of the driving beats and basslines that make music so fun in the first place. Maybe it’s intelligent dance music for people who thought they didnt like intelligent dance music, Maybe it’s unintelligent vacant technopunk trash, but you will definitely want to listen to it more then once to find out for yourself!

I started learning to play the piano and sing in primary school, started recording in secondary school, and started producing at university.

Growing up, i’d play to Stevie Wonder records till the early hours, and then go to sleep listening to Art Tatum and Errol Garner.

Learning to produce was really liberating, because I realised that I didn’t need to rely on anything or anyone to achieve a sound I liked.

Air and Lack Thereof is actually the first tune I ever wrote, and it took me a year to work out how I wanted to approach it, but I think the waiting paid off.

Sparing the Horses, on the other hand, I finished in about a week. I knew how I wanted to approach it, but I wanted to push the sound into new territories.

More recently i’ve been including my own vocals in my music, which has really opened up a lot of possibilities, so expect new and interesting things in the future.

I hope people enjoy listening to my music as much as I enjoy making it.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported the release.

James

Now it’s 2009 and after being swooped on by the infamous Black Acre orphanage for electronically gifted, A.K. have seen a meteoric assent through the Dubstep scene via a pincer movement performed by both Rob Booth and DJ N-Type. The catalyst; a little tune called Pinball capturing the best elements of modern electronic music and fusing them into an 8bit punch up between Rusko & DJ Shadow.

To come….. after wowing the kids with their non-genre specific brand of Glitch funk A.K. will be featuring as primary remixer on the pending release of Unique 3’s classic “Shades of Grey” Via Mutate Records (April).

While keeping true to their roots, wonky outfitter Dealmaker will be dropping the vertigo inducing Donk! EP.

Lastly and on the not too distant Horizon, Black Acre will be presenting A.K.s debut album to the world, as yet untitled early reports liken the listening experience to an overly warm bubble bath with Rick James & Barbarella while battling biz markie on Street fighter 2 turbo on the SNES.

Watch for the promo only “Ulysses” Forthcoming on Black Acre, and the killer A.K. remix of N-Types ridiculous “Darkmatter”

AKIRA KITESHI – Pinball / Noglitch
Black Acre
12″ // £5.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Feb 2009
Catalogue Number: ACRE008

Debut release from Japanese Scottish Akira Kiteshi with a powerful bass transmission for Black Acre records. It may be a little lazy to descreibe title track ‘Pinball’ as very similar to efforts by his fellow countrymen Goth Trad and Quarta 330, but listen to it yourself and you’ll see the distinct hallmarks of both producers wedged into this heavyweight track, with the detailed edits and gleaming structures of Goth Trad’s finest work merged with the clipped angles of Quarta 330’s 8-Bit functions, which is definitely no bad thing and should pick up the fella a good deal of fans. ‘Noglitch Part 1&2′ on the reverse opt for a wilder and more experimental approach, fitting the rhtyhm out with breakstep ticks and electronica twists for a rougher ride to the dancehall.

Akira Kiteshi are not Japanese as Boomkat may lead you to believe !! … they are from Edinburgh !! lolz

Taal Mala Bio:
Often described as un-categorizable, Taal Mala’s music is inspired by new ideas and classic standards,and takes influence from a diverse selection of both new and classic sounds. Genre-defying acts of synth genius and production lustre form a solid foundation for Taal Mala’s destruction of any soundboy who comes to test it.  Dubstep, Grime, Jungle, Acid, Hardcore and Reggae are all partially responsible for the fusion that is created.  As a member of the SUB-OSC and Lighta! soundsystems, Taal Mala has buried an excess of tin pan soundboys alongside The Bug, Kode9, Loefah, Venetian Snares, Rusko, Benga, Skream, Hatcha, Youngsta, Martyn…etc.  Keep your eyes open for lighta! and SUB-OSC releases in Summer 2009.

Max Ulis Bio:

I’ve been djing for about 10 years and producing for around four. I got into Dubstep through my love of Jungle, Techno, and Grime (electronic music in general).  I did a Grime weekly for about a year in Vancouver with a couple friends in 2004-’05. At around the same time grime was kinda falling off for me i spent a little time in London and picked up a couple 12’s like Coki “Officer”, Vex’d “Lion” and got really excited about the sound. I started blending these darker elements into my set and about half the people loved and the other half hated it. this went on for some time until michael red asked me to become part of lighta! and things started getting more interesting. We were playing parties that had dancehall, jungle, dub,  glitch, and dubstep all on the same night and people were coming,and then alot of people were coming,and then all of a sudden we had a community. This community is what inspires me to make music.
I would like to add that i have a beard and I like waffles and long walks by the ocean, and hate bios.

Self Evident Bio:

Self Evident makes party music that fuses influences from all over the map. Most notably grime, dancehall, metal, club hip-hop and dubstep. He has collaborated with Warrior Queen on 2 soon to be released tunes. His tracks have been played by The Bug, Edu K, DJ Hatcha, Headhunter and Kid Kameleon. He has played alongside Caspa, The Bug, Excision and Maga Bo.

Daega Soundsystem Bio:

DAEGA Sound System Brothers Ben and Joshua Searles are the DAEGA Sound System. Djing and promoting for over 10 years they have turned their attention to the studio to develop their production project DAEGA Sound System. Also known as DJs Sela and Deep Six, they are reppin’ for Vancouver Lighta! crew and have just signed to Chefal’s SubFreq Label, Formant Recordings, and  DPR Recordings. Their sets focus on the deep rollers and their music is described as “deep and heavy, intricate and spacious”. Live PA and DJ duo they are pushing the deeper end of dubstep, techno, drum and bass and other forms of electronic music.

Phowa Bio:

Phōwa’s work is a fusion of numerous sources of inspiration and sonic pallets yet still maintaining a uniquely enigmatic and personal sensibility. His sense of lo-fi textures and dynamics combine to create deeply immersive atmospheres blended with hypnotic melodic progressions grounded in heavy beats and thick basslines.

As a part of SUB-OSC, phōwa has been pushing bass heavy sounds up and down the west coast, appearing along side the likes of Skream, Loefah, Distance and Bassnectar. He has done remixes for Cheb I Sabbah and the Future Sound of London and has licenced music to films such as ‘Scared Sacred’ and ‘The Corporation.

How do you describe hexadecibel aka HxdB? Well, that’s easy. To describe this man’s music on the other hand, is not so easy…

The former, is a 30 year music lover, and recent re-initiate back in to the game of music creation, who along with fellow Canadian virtuoso, DJ Cure, manage Aufect Recordings (http://myspace.com/aufect) & Pressing Issues Recordings (http://pressing-issues.com). The latter is a mish-mash of superlatives and buzz words to attempt to describe his well-crafted sounds. Words like soulful, epic, haunting, rolling, deep & heavy are common on the lips of his growing following. His productions are diverse, ranging many of the different ends of the dubstep spectrum, and you can really hear that he strives to create his unique soundscapes in what whatever scope is given.

2009 looks to be a very promising year for him, with forthcoming releases on Echodub, Mindset, Formant, Surface Tension, Trillbass, Cymbstep, Substruk, DDR, Filthy Digital & DubKraft, and with many other record labels salivating over his music, it almost seems a certainty we’ll see many, many more on the horizon. Also, look for various remixes, bootlegs and other exclusives posted by him on the music forum (http://dubstepforum.com) where you can currently find a number of his tracks offered for free, sitting happily at the top of the forum.

You can also download the hexadecibel showcase mix which is comprised solely of his original material.

DJ Cure Bio:

Aufect Recordings boss, DJ Cure aka Patrik Walters is no stranger to Canada’s underground electronic music scene.

He is now running two record labels (Aufect & Pressing Issues) and DJing all across North America.

Cure started collecting records at the age of 16. It started out as an addiction to Hip Hop,
then Techno, Jungle and DNB.  Originally from Toronto, He has shared the bill with industry icons such as Dieselboy, Concord Dawn, Evol Intent, John Rolodex, Kenny Ken, Ed Rush, Martyn, Capital J, Joe Nice and Headhunter to name a few.

In 2004 he landed a gig on MTV’s “Don’t try this at home” tour, opening up for Steve-o and the rest of the infamous “Jackass” crew.  Around that same time he was starting to really take interest in Grime and early Dubstep, after a friend passed along a Kode 9 mixtape. When 2006 rolled around Cure had become intrigued by the future sounds of Dubstep. He joined Pressing Issues Recordings that summer as an A&R , and has just recently taken full control of the label (currently working on the 3rd vinyl release) .

In August of 2007, after feeling like he had reached his limits in Ontario, he decided to transplant to Vancouver with the intent of starting a label of his own. In early 2008 Aufect Recordings was born and Cure joins the Vancouver local Bass squad, Lighta! Crew. Many things to come from DJ Cure in 2009, stay tuned!

“This is a mix of many of my favourite old Jungle records I listened to growing up in London.

You’ll have to excuse the quality in parts as some of my old records are a little scratchy.

I’ve approached this one differently from the first mix I did for ‘ELECTRONIC EXPLORATIONS,’ with that one I was layering lots of elements to make something new.

This time I’ve pretty much left the tracks to speak for themselves, as when I was listening to these the first time around there was only so much you could do with each mix.

And many tracks like the Omni Trio and Photek stuff are structured so well there’s nothing I would want to change anyway.”   Milanese

Born (1982) and raised in Malmoe, Sweden Mika ‘Grovskopa’ Hallbaeck is one of the most exciting and innovative young DJ/producers to arrive on the techno scene in recent years.

He has been producing since the tender age of 14 and began DJ’ing a year later, eventually graduating to his current three+ turntables set up at 18 years of age.

Originally drawn to the punk rock scene by its energy, Grovskopa discovered that the rising techno scene also carried this energy, but conveyed it through sounds that were more to his taste than the standard guitar, bass and drums set up which had led the punk scene into cliché. “I listened to a lot of Synth and Punk Rock when I was 10-15. I loved the sounds in Synth and the energy in Punk Rock. So when I heard techno it was the perfect mixture for me”, he explains.

Eschewing the purely club-based loop techno which had put many of his fellow-countrymen on the techno map, he gravitated towards the more intricate, menacingly industrial techno coming out of late 90s England, taking his lead from producers such as Surgeon, Regis and James Ruskin.

Simultaneously, Grovskopa developed a taste in some of the inspirations for this sound from outside the techno scene, such as Steve Reich, Liaisons Dangereuses, Recoil, Arvo Part and Boyd Rice, feeding notions of musicality that stretched far beyond the dance floor.

Along with his musical partner Archae, Grovskopa formed Emergence records in 2001 as an outlet for their first release, but with the wider intention “to release music on a continuum of change, to support the development and expression of artistic ideas and to create a forum for the new”. Archae did however leave Emergence in 2003 and now the label is run by Grovskopa and his brother Luka Baumann. In 2006 Grovskopa widened his playground and started the sub label Pohjola Records. A label that quickly became known for its 1990s techno romanticism.

Further to this, Grovskopa states, “My biggest vision is to intertwine this ‘body music’ with the ‘intellectual music’ making it appealing to listeners of both groups. I work quite much with electro acoustic and non-musical elements (most of which I record at my day job as a blacksmith) which I find very stimulating.”

Those who may once have been considered heroes are rapidly becoming peers.

Treading the difficult path of creating music with conceptual depth and artistic focus, which still operates as FUNKtional dance music, a new techno force is coming out of Sweden to control your mind and your feet!

Grovskopa releases music on the following record labels: Surface UK, Emergence SWEDEN, Pohjola FINLAND, WarmUp SPAIN, Sect UK, Token BELGIUM, Labrynth PORTUGAL and many more.

Jus Wan is a newcomer from San Francisco, where the dubstep scene is apparently thriving. “Out of the countless demos and mp3s we get sent,” a press release opines, “Jus Wan instantly stood out with his blend of 2 step rhythm, techno soul and deep subs…” A deep, rolling track that owes a great debt to techno but remains first and foremost dubstep, ‘Action Potential’ first came to attention on Appleblim’s Dubstep Allstars Vol. 6 compilation earlier in the year, and will see a 12″ release next month, backed with the equally engrossing ‘Affletic’:   Quote: FACT Magazine

JUS WAN – The Crossing / Flashpoint
Tube
10″ // £5.99
NOW: £3.50
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Nov 2008
Catalogue Number: TUBE10003

Following in the slipstream of his well recieved 12″ for Applepips last week, Jus Wan contributes two experimentally riddmic cuts to the well curated Tube10 imprint outta Holland. Tube10 has a knack of picking up on less rave friendly, but ultimately more esoteric efforts from the likes of TRG and Spherix, with Jus Wan’s ‘The Crossing’ fitting the vibe perfectly.

Steering away from the slightly breaks infected cuts for Applepips, Wan works on a pattern with an altogether more crafty flow debted to post 2-step and R’n'B, and introduces a beautifully shimmering guitar line with perfect timing, making for a nicely understated but clever cut. ‘Flashpoint’ on the flip follows the vibe into a more defined dub techno route a skipping pattern developing into rolling subs with uptempo techno compatibility. Check!

JUS WAN – Action Potential / Affletic
APPLE PIPS
12″ // £5.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Nov 2008
Catalogue Number: PIPS003

Appleblim’s Applepips imprint maintains the pressure built from the brilliant first two installments with a fresh 12″ from unearthed talent, Jus Wan. His ‘Action Potential’ track was used by Appleblim in his winning Tempa Allstars 6 mix CD and comes here backed with the much anticipated techy killer ‘Affletic’. ‘Action Potential’ stretches the dubstep imagination to include breaks style beats laid into skipping dubstep compatible patterns with mellow dub chords lending an airy and spacious vibe.

We’re far more into ‘Affletic’ on the flip though, definitely one for all the aerobic dancing crew with a smart combo of bouncing metallic synthlines ripped right out of the T++/Monolake textbook leading to a cinematic John Carpenter-ish breakdown and back into a wicked skip-stepping pattern that fans of the whole Peverelist/Martyn/7even recordings dubstepXtechno style will easily find a spot ‘pon their deckles for.

Non from Shadowhuntaz contributed, to the 3 man group as first beat maker, then turned lyricist, and in between group albums he releases a uncountable about of solo projects on various labels worldwide.  With a lyric heavy mix of old and new school hip hop traditions, employing experimental beat makers globally that were contacted and connected then collaborated and conveyed using the internet.

As which was the case with producers Herrmutt lobby that display a flipped out, robust hip hop grind with hovering basslines and quickfire edits, that only leave you wanting more.

The album “Hunter” is a meeting on a mind-scape, hearing lyrics that match wits with the beats in a intellectual intercourse resulting with a electro birth of sound that can only be describe as hip-hop riding a waveform of bass over a torrent of drums and arriving at  the shore of uncharted music, in a newly discovered world of sound.

Last time Mad EP was here (Show Number 34), he was promoting his “Bass.hed” album on Ad Noiseam and getting ready to play the festival circuit…  6 months later, Mad EP returns as a victorious gladiator: the original phalanxter aka the bass.hed buccaneer, and is now ready to unleash the next chapter on us all.

He has several releases in the pipeline: an album called “Twenty-four Breakbeats” on Acroplane in May, a 12? called “Antagony” on Noizetek for Spring/Summer…  plus has signed to Dealmaker Records to release a full length album with the Shadow Huntaz.

If that weren’t enough, he has just joined the ranks as a DJ on Sub.FM, in the highly-coveted Monday midnight-2am slot, rotating with Starkey, Secret Agent Gel & Sines.

In his true grandiose fashion..  not only did Mad EP do a complete “take over” show (an Electronic Explorations first), but he did TWO, full 2-hour shows..  The first following the normal Electronic Explorations format of selecta style hosting, complete with lots of first-plays and dubplates.  The second is a “rewind”, showcasing several of his DJ mixes you may not have heard before.

http://www.reverbnation.com/breakbeatbuddha

In this blistering 25 minute mix PropaTingz deals a swift smack pon side the head to genre rigidity and exposes some of the freshest cutting edge productions styles that are claiming center stage in the international Bass music scene.

Originally hailing from the UK PropaTingz made his way to San Francisco and has since emerged as one of the hottest names on the US Nu-school electronica scene.

Under his previous moniker as BreakBeatBuddha he helped forge the now lauded California Glitch Hop scene alongside artists such as the Glitch Mob, edit and Laser Sword. As Propa Tingz he is widely acknowledged as the pioneer  of Glitch Step, a bad bwoy sound clash of Bay Area Hyphy, Dirty South Crunk, UK Bass and the cutting edge of Glitch.

The PropaTingz “Glitch Step” heat has created a stir globally and has caught the attention of scene heavy hitters most notably Freq Nasty (who collaborated with him on PEACEMAKER, a tear your face off DubStep/Baltimore mash-up) and Hip Hop Legend KRS 1  with Heavy Weight Dub Champion (see track 14 on the mix, “RISE”).

Also featured in the mix is unreleased pressure from the  scenes new superstars; Check out new bad bwoys on the Dubstep block “16Bit” and there rerub of the Propa Tingz smash “Babylon’s Scared” and the psycho wobble of Rafferties Bigger Bass remake of “Food for Animals”.

Other highlights include  PropaTingz “Hustlers Concerto” (which proved to be a smash amongst Glitch and Dub heads alike) and unreleased filth in the  guise of “Wickedest Sound”.

More release info and free downloads (including PEACEMAKER) are available at www.propatingz.com .

With new releases in the pipeline, a US/EU tour planned and the first PropaTingz studio album set to drop big tingz a gwarn in 2009 for the SF/UK Glitch Step Maestro.

GUNJACK

Eccentric, nomadic, these are some of the nicer terms used to describe Brian Gibbs AKA Gunjack. One Canadian DJ spat: “Fuck him and his gypsy ways”. Whatever your experience with the prolific and mysterious GUNJACK, music speaks for itself and his speaks volumes on life experience.

Ben Sims calls him “Savage… A techno monster”, A Guy Called Gerald called Gibbs “The future of techno” back in 1996! Warp records golden boy Flying Lotus says: “I love his music” and ex Napalm Death Drummer Mick Harris AKA Scorn calls the music of Gunjack “Fucking punk”.

The more than a hundred vinyl releases in Gibbs’ back catalog are well sought after within savvy circles and have been republished on compilations like I LOVE TECHNO and MAYDAY.

Currently Gunjack is focusing on what he calls a “hybrid” sound, or “mongrel music” that straddles the line between off beat techno, dubstep and music that does not apologise.

Look out for the music of Gunjack and company on his own CONSUME imprint, along with partners Pure Filth Audio, Planet Rhythm UK and many other fine electronic music labels.

SYNKRO – Lost Love
ON THE EDGE
12″ // £6.49
NOW: £3.50
WHILE STOCKS LAST!
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Dec 2008
Catalogue Number: OTE003

More darkly slinked 2-step continues to spill out of the S.Y.N.K.R.O studio this week with a cool 3 tracker for On The Edge records. ‘Lost Love’ and ‘Good Times’ both have the feeling of Burial releases, with sharp 2-step and dark garage rhythm constructions offset by lush atmospheres and plaintive chord changes for subtle mood enhancement, with the bonus of mixably locked grooves not slipping out of focus like said Burial tracks. The real surprise here is ‘Hold On’ sounding like some Wiley type Sinogrime cut from a few years back, but weighted heavily with electro drum sounds. Burial or Zed Bias heads should be checking this 12″.

SYNKRO – Everybody Knows
Smoke Sessions
12″ // £6.49
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Nov 2008
Catalogue Number: SMOKE004

S.Y.N.K.R.O and the Smokin’ sessions imprint move from strength to strength with the fellas finest release to date on the massive ‘Everybody Knows’. The obvious reference point is Burial, but the man done good with this one, edging closer still to that intangible sound with a tough and FWD dark garage engine with bilious Teebee style bass developments and the all important soul felching vocal sample, all executed to a high degree. ‘Dub Specialist’ on the flip trips out into a wicked dub experiment tying together dubstep, shards of 2-step and jungle breaks into a darkly effective whole. ‘Empty’ polishes off a prime plate with another Burial/El-B style dark garage wriggler with flecked electro elements to sound brilliant on a big system and sealing the deal for this 12″ as bit of a winner. Fans of Burial, Zed Bias, and Steve Gurley should be checking this.

SYNKRO – King Of Kings / These Times
UNKNOWN LABEL
12″ // £6.49
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Sep 2008
Catalogue Number: DUBBY1

Heavy dubs from Synkro with ‘King of Kings’ working a Coki cut skank and bass version, and ‘These times’ running a wicked steppers riddim primed for dancehall deployment.

SYNKRO – Don’t Know
SMOKIN’ SESSIONS
12″ // £5.49
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Sep 2008
Catalogue Number: SMOKE002
Estimated time of shipping: 1-3 days

This item is to the best of our knowledge available to us from the supplier and should ship to you within the time-frame indicated. If there are any unforeseen issues with availability we will notify you immediately.

Sitting neatly in line with Burial and Pangaea, this 12″ from S.Y.N.K.R.O contains some fine and deep post-2-step gear with the tried and tested formula of emotive vocal slices peppered over sharp 2-step rhythms and nestled in blue midnight atmospherics. ‘Get Down’ would have to be the winner with a sick sub drone and a down-pitched vocal intoning the title. Sick twelve.

SYNKRO – Hold Tight
SMOKIN’ SESSIONS
12″ // £5.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Jul 2008
Catalogue Number: SMOKE001

Pumped up Caspa and Rusko styles from SYNKRO for the AudioFreaks imprint. ‘Hold tight’ is the big ‘roid injected bassbin killer, rolling in with some West Coast G-funk styles before obliterating your dancehall with some reeling Caspa style midrange wobble outs, while ‘Bitz’ and ‘Balls’ on the flip get all sweaty and primed for the dancefloor. Obese.

F – The Untitled Dub / Phantom
7EVEN
12″ // £5.49
DUBSTEP / GRIME
Released: Jan 2009
Catalogue Number: 7EVEN06

F kicks off the year for bass musics with a hefty thump of techno sculpted dubstep pressure for 7even records in shocking style. This plate has been giving us itchy feet for a time now, with our promo copies practically worn through due to the play-it-again! factor on both sides.

‘The Untitled Dub’ is a club wrecking masterpiece, marrying speaker puncturing dub stabs to a bulbous bass swoop and febrile percussive syncopations for a rhythm to get completely lost in. Imagine Throsten Profrock’s Erosion series making GM babies with Martyn and you’re almost there.

We really can’t get enough of ‘Phantom’ on the flipside either, taking a slightly more subdued approach the focus here is on the pitching and deeply swung percussion, incorporating intricate timbres of sub-continental rollidge with heavier kick/snare kinks and a swooning dub tech atmosphere, allowing your head to roll at quarter time while your limbs move to whichever rhythm you fancy picking up on.

This one reminds us of old style Pole dragged up to speed for 2009. With Funky twocking a lot of attention from the dubstep scene (and rightly so) for it’s return to percussive priorities, we urge you to check out the rhythms on this badboy to redress the balance! Wicked ‘n Bad!

F – Phase One / Icon
7EVEN
12″ // £5.49
DUBSTEP / GRIME
Released: Sep 2008
Catalogue Number: 7EVEN04

Pristine dubstepXtechno depth from France’s finest exponents of the good stuff, 7even recordings.

In the space of only four releases the label has fast become something to get excited about with a deep and driving dubstep aesthetic closely aligned to the styles of Peverelist, Scuba or a more technofied Martyn.

This is the first release from F and it’s a certified winner, shaping two tracks of chords driven 140bpm dub techno with skipping garage movements and full sunken dubstep subs that’s an absolute pleasure to bust a flex to. If you’re into this stuff, do yourself a favour and get one nabbed. Killer.

I was asked to compile 10 tracks for ‘Desert Island discs’ interview for a recent Internet radio show (which you can listen to here)
Since the interview, I have been inundated with requests to compile a list of tracks big enough to make a mix.

After many many weeks I have come up with a set of tracks I believe best describe the music/genres I have grown up listening to.  I am 80% happy with the choices I have made, but have obviously missed out a great deal of superb music.

My good friend Shrink II Fit aka ‘gforce’ (a member of http://tmb.dj)  mixed up an absolutely superb and seamless mix.

I will also host a few of  ‘Shrink II Fit’ mixes on here – too good not to hear them

A cue sheet for this mix (so you can go straight to your favourite tracks is here)

EVERYONE SHOULD MAKE A DESERT ISLAND MIX

Shrink II Fit is a self confessed old git who has been mixing since he acquired his first set of turntables in 1984. He has entered the DMC UK championships twice, reaching the semi finals on both occasions in 1987 and 1989. He also was the inaugural winner of the Vestax / DJ magazine championships in 1992.

He started gigging in 1986 as a 15 year old for sound systems in west London, and was frequently the “soul Boy” at many a Blues party for about 2 years. He was also a regular at a few London clubs throughout the early to mid 90’s including “The Crazy Club” at Astoria 2 and the bar at MoS’ Rulin nights.

His gigging really came to an end with the birth of his first child. All of a sudden, spending money on records seemed to be a waste of money when there was more important things to pay for. Also, this coincided with a frustration of dealing with promoters…..
Mixing wise, his influences are far and wide and he regards himself as the “anti-trendy”.

He was very heavily influenced by US DJ’s such as Grandmaster D (Whodini) and Jazzy J, but it was at an art exhibition by Lee Quinones at the Riverside Studios where he saw Whiz Kid and Wanda Dee which had the huge influence on him spending his paper round money on his first set of Technics.

The next sets of influences on him are split into two camps:

The London Soundsystems:
Mastermind, Databass, Rapattack, TNT and Beatfreak brought Hip Hop styles to (what was then) Soul Music…

The Europeans and DMC:
Les Adams (The Mix Doctor), Paul Dakeyene, Sanny X and Ben Liebrand, though strangely enough not the much cited “cut and paste” masters Steinski and Big Apple Productions.

Throughout the years, he has experimented with numerous different formats. From tape editing on an old Akai open reel four track (woo hoo, Symulsync!) and a Yamaha MT100mk2, to his weapon of choice nowadays which is Acid pro..

Although he still keeps his hand in now and again, he generally only puts mix-tapes together for the journey to work and for Mix-tape websites (including http://tmb.dj where he can regularly found lurking!!).

Amazingly (after 25 years!), this is his first ever commissioned mix.

16 BIT – In The Death Car EP
BOKA
12″ // £5.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME
Released: Jan 2009
Catalogue Number: BOKA018

A huge dollop of marmite-step from 16Bit aka DRT and Kidnappa, providing their debut release on Boka Records and it’s one that’s bound to divide opinion between the rave heads and the progressives.

For our money, it’s a belter. Coming from the same rave considered angle as Caspa or Rusko (who’ve been massively supporting this 12″) 16Bit unleash the full might of their digital studio techniques on three tracks of brutal dubstep variations, largely hinging on the halfstep rhythm but shot through with 10,000 watts of current.

Title track ‘In The Death Car’ starts off with what sounds with a sample from Emir Kusturica’s Arizona Dream (check out Goran Bregović awesome soundtrack if you don’t know it), but soon descends into fierce synthline manipulations and stinging rave signals certain to fire up the dance.

Things start to get far more interesting on ‘Chainsaw Calligraphy’, merging musique concrete and dubstep like nobody before them, with rasping chainsaws battling wounded synth squalls with a minimised rhythm straightjacket keeping the hole thing from cutting loose and lopping your face off. ‘M Dot Mosley’ finishes the set with the sound of a fax machine doing dubstep with intriguing results, and leaves you wondering what the chuff will come next from these guys. Massive 12″ with Caspa, Rusko, The Others, N-Type and Rossi B & Luca.

They’ve been working together as 16bit for about 6 months. Their first live set as 16Bit was in Tokyo and have since played Paris and Nottingham with London dates in the coming months.

The highly anticipated ‘In The Death Car EP’ is finally upon us, a three track triple a-side mammoth of a release hits the street in the form of a 12″ vinyl plate, having been battered on dubplate by the likes of Rusko and Chef, and a huge buzz being created on the Dubstepforum and Youtube the time is now for 16Bit and we just know they’re gunna blow up!
The EP features the cheeky ‘In The Death Car’ the notorious ‘Chainsaw Calligraphy’ and the foot-stomping techno infused insanity that is ‘M Dot Mosley’.

A release party will be occurring in London in early January and an exclusive 16Bit mix will be featured on an Electronic Explorations podcast towards the end of January 2009 

Watch out for these boys….

4. UPCOMING RELEASES IN 2009

Although we stayed out of action for some time, mostly due to the massive riots and the tragic events that Greece has been suffering from over the last month, we’re back. Full of energy, more angry and with a great list of releases for the months to come. To get an idea of only 3 of our upcoming releases, check out those artists:

A WAKE A WEEK (myspace.com/awakeaweek) [Little Black Cloud - coming soon)

Best wishes for 2009 and a massive respect to people fighting for their rights out there, dying for freedom and suffering pain and loss on a daily basis. Our heart is with you.

Take care,
K.

==========================================

At the young age of 22, Canadian based Excision has already established himself as one of the rising stars in the increasingly global world of Dubstep and is part of a new wave of producers hailing from the Americas.

His sound is uniquely dark and led him to set up the highly respected and aptly named Rottun Recordings which to date has a roster featuring Noiz, Stenchman, Innasekt, and Sully amongst others.

Watch out for an Excision remix of Pendulum about to be unleashed on their label Ear Storm, plus a whole host of forthcoming releases scheduled for labels Cyberfunk, Pitch Black, Aufect, and Shift Recordings.

Excision’s tracks have been getting regular plays by Distance, Pendulum, Freq Nasty, Evol Intent, Bassnectar, and Blackmass Plastics.

Such has been Excision’s cult popularity that a DJ mix made available on the www.barefiles.com website, specialising in dubstep mixes and a barometer for the cutting edge of this sound, achieved over 20,000 downloads and is now their 2^nd most popular mix ever, topped only by a Plastician set.

One show per day running from News Year Day 2009 for 4 consecutive days. This’ll help the hangovers

Phaeleh
Electronica / Breakbeat / Drum & Bass

Phaeleh (pronounced “fella”)

“The distinct sound of Phaeleh fuses the dark and heavy sounds of Dubstep and Drum and Bass with the melodies and soundscapes of Electronica, all sealed together with the subtle textures of acousmatic music.

A diverse range of influences results in an equally diverse musical output which can range from disturbing bass lines and heavy Dubstep/Jungle beats, perfect for the rave, to the more soulful, restrained tracks incorporating a variety of sound sources and vocal styles.

Phaeleh’s tunes have received a diverse range of support from DJs such as Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob Smith (Smith and Mighty/RSD) and Rob Booth (Electronic Explorations), amongst others, and get regularly dropped across the globe, ripping up any party, regardless of location.

Phaeleh has also remixed tracks for artists such as Vaccine (Hotflush/Vaccine), Jinx in Dub (Supercharged/Bassrock) and Forensics (DubKraft/Digital Sin) and is a long time collaborator with Brighton-based vocalist Anneka and Leicester-based dub warrior, I-mitri.

In 2008 he started Urban Scrumping Records and continues to gig regularly across the UK…”

Mount Kimbie

HF021
Release date: 2nd February 2009
Mount Kimbie (12”)
A1: Maybes
A2: William
B1: Vertical
B2: Taps
Hotflush Recordings presents a brand new production duo that eludes classification:

Mount Kimbie. Based in London, they have developed a truly unique sound whose experimental rhythms lend themselves to the fringes of dubstep, wonky and hip hop, but ooze with emotion and echoing ambient soundscapes that take the listener to an entirely different place. Due for release in the beginning of 2009, this first release features four tracks which capture their evolving sound.

The minds behind Mount Kimbie, Dominic Maker and Kai Campos, both 22, met at university and began making music together in a home studio in Peckham. Hints of their influences from hip hop, jazz, dubstep and experimental electronica can be heard in their productions.

The EP has already been well received, with support DJs including Mary Anne Hobbs’ BBC Radio 1 Experimental show (on which they also recently performed a guest mix), Scuba on his podcast for XLR8R, Rob Booth’s Electronic Explorations show, Ramadanman’s recent podcast mix for Dub War NYC, and Alex Incyde on Sub FM.

   Raised on a diet of pure filth, the Broken Note duo bring their own unique sound to the electronic music scene. Combining lean, considered production skills with an appreciation of diverse rough beats; they have quickly established themselves as a sonic force to be reckoned with.

   Some of their recent and forthcoming releases can only very loosely be described as Dubstep, with little in common with much of the scene’s output. Instead they draw from the Sino-Rastafarian sound and heavy bass; but also combine this with more of the kind of dark and aggressive beats that can be found in Breakcore and Jungle. Their Drum and Bass is similarly disturbingly brutal, with undulating beats and bass that are unashamed to draw from the darkly edgey sounds of Gabba and Techno. It delivers a rhythmic pounding that has set dance floors across Europe on fire with its astonishing heaviness. The result is both at home in clubs and the vast expanse of a decaying urban warehouse, inspiring visions of a dark and techy future for their music. A description of their most recent release was pegged as “The darkest, most frightening tunes that have ever found their way onto vinyl”. Imagine a combination of  Vex’d, Raiden and Rotator and you are probably half-way to understanding their sound.

   Their live sets are currently based around two laptops running Ableton Live, utilizing various midi controllers and FX running with on the spot warping, cueing and live key work. The content tends to be a mash up of everything from dark dubstep to hard-techno, the most evil D’n’B to hardcore; playing many of their own tunes but mixing these with music by those who they draw inspiration from. They are both diverse and interesting, as well as being guaranteed to be one of the highlights of any night at which they are playing.

   Broken Note is appreciated, played out and given radio airtime by the likes of Mary-Anne Hobbs, Amon Tobin, Boxcutter, Aaron Spectre, SPL, Babylon System, Cooh and Juno Reactor; their sound is being widely received around the globe.

One of Textura’s Top 10 labels of 2008
http://textura.org – Upcoming November issue.
—————–

Experimedia is a record label, arts organization, and online record shop based out of Ohio, United States which is involved in the digital and physical publication, promotion, and distribution of exploratory music and visual arts. The Experimedia catalog covers a broad stylistic palette of exploratory music including ambient, electronica, electro-acoustic, experimental, dance, sound-art, microsound, glitch, avant-garde, abstract, minimalist, and more.

Experimedia came into  existence initially as an Akron, Ohio based weekly experimental multi-media event during the summer of 2000, then one off events, then later evolved into a net label/community, more recently into physical releases, and most recently into a mail order record shop.  Experimedia is approaching its 50th netlabel release and 15th CD release.
The Experimedia online mailorder shop has recently expanded to include the availability of releases from other select labels and artists. This is intended to make more conveniently available some of the worlds most  innovative experimental music.

By including labels from overseas countries such as Japan, England, Germany, Austria, Australia, and more we intend to make more readily and conveniently available, music from around the globe within the United States.
Experimedia also acts as a community based platform for creative and conceptual media projects based upon collaborative research and project development efforts. The Experimedia Projects Wiki has been developed to facilitate the collaborative information gathering and organization for these research efforts.

The goal is that the Experimedia Projects Wiki will become a large resource of relevant information to the exploratory  sound and visual arts community as well as a historical account of the collaborative efforts involved with Experimedia related projects.

If you are an artists interested in contributing research data to our Projects Wiki or would like to initiate and curate a project within our framework please feel free to contact Experimedia for access and permissions.

PINCH – Underwater Dancehall
TECTONIC
2CD // £10.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME
Released: Jan 2008
Catalogue Number: TECCD003

Back in stock! *Comes with a second CD featuring the entire album in instrumental versions* Long anticipated by a dubstep community starved of full-length packages to sink their teeth into, “Underwater Dancehall” is the hugely ambitious debut album from Pinch, serendipitously unleashed onto the world on the same week as Burial’s towering second album “Untrue”.

Short of the generous use of vocals and innovative determination there’s little to connect these two albums – except perhaps for a skewed populist trajectory followed by both producers. The cd version of “Underwater Dancehall” comes as a double-disc package, delivering the entire tracklisting in vocal (Disc 1) and Instrumental (Disc 2) forms – and each disc is an entirely different beast.

Pinch’s astonishing “Qawaali” is re-branded here as “Brighter Day” and features vocal narration by New York MC Jukali, offsetting the emotive resonance of the original with a rugged vocal antithesis that takes a few listens to digest but which ultimately imbues the track with a context far removed from the spacious melancholy of the original (re-produced as the opening track on Disc 2). “Get Up” is next and is the first of two tracks featuring Yolanda on Vocal duties, shifting the agenda into a more giddy orbit that has more in common with the slick machinations of 2-step/R&B than with anything you could describe as dubstep, though the instrumental version reveals a much darker edge that seems to possess a filthier hub at its core. “One Blood, One Source” has already been aired on the limited 12″ album sampler and is the emotive heart of the album, engulfing Rudey Lee’s vocal with light-footed Sino melodies and a musically colloquial arrangement that does that clever thing of appealing to a broad spectrum of listener without letting go of its deviant soul.

Martin Clark has already made much of the link between Pinch and Bristol’s Wild Bunch/Massive Attack Continuum and as he rightly points out this is the track that most clearly joins those dots. “Gangstaz” sees the return of Jukali and is just immense – making a piercing emotional impact with the barest ingredients – something which for our money is Pinch’s greatest trait as a producer.

The album ends on the hugely impressive “Lazarus”, a complex arrangement of layered percussion and broad soundscaping, finishing proceedings off with an almost entirely instrumental sweep that makes use of stylistic self-restraint, a device that so many of Pinch’s peers could do with adopting. Across these 20 tracks Pinch has managed to balance out his broad musical ambition with a stylistic focus that imbues “Underwater Dancehall” with a narrative that makes it more than just a collection of 12″ tracks – and although there are moments when you feel the instrumental versions offer greater rewards, its nice to have the choice. Excellent stuff – Highly Recommended.

Drumcorps

“Grist”

Crock013 co-released with Ad Noiseam

“Grist“, the debut full-length by Drumcorps features 11 tracks of amen blast beats, guitar-wash-screams, and plenty of musical tension. Quick and decisive, “Grist” is quite possibly the definitive breakcore/grindcore hybrid album of its kind. Far from just a typical grindcore mash-up mix, producer Aaron Spectre plays many of the riffs and tweaks the source material to near impossible levels, all to make a passionate emotional attack on the listener. The intensity of his live shows has made him increasingly in demand, destroying parties from Tokyo to London. He’s at the top of his game, and “Grist” proves it.

This is the first collaboration between Cock RocK Disco and Ad Noiseam, two labels both respected for their quality releases. 12″ ep “Live and Regret” is already available by Cock Rock Disco, and the “Grist” LP version coming soon.

“Live and Regret” EP 12″ & Mp3 only!

AVAILABLE NOW!

DRUMCORPS – Grist
COCK ROCK DISCO
CD // £11.99
Catalogue Number: CROCK013CD

Mating the unholy union of grind and breakcore, Drumcorps are not the kind of band you put on to wind-down… Firing both electronic and metal bullets into the heart of his composition, Aaron Spectre’s Drumcorps are fierce and then some – with ‘Grist’ a polemical aural chinning to the more reserved members of the audience.

Painstakingly programmed and full of pattering beats, live guitars and raucous samples, Drumcorps is a gobfull of attitude that pays its dues to the twin musical loves in his life. With evident highlights including ‘Down’, ‘Worse’ and the incendiary title track, this is a record that doesn’t slip below 11…

Budapest resident Peter Simon aka DJ MADD has been behind the turntables spinning Drum & Bass in all major cities in Hungary. Being a frequent guest at Budapests most prolific Bladerunnaz events he played along side names like Andy C, Friction, Mampi Swift, Bassline Smith etc.

His production carrier just started to blow up, as his tunes got picked up by Rufige badboy DJ Vapour for his own 36 HERTZ Recordings. His recent track “To The Massive” has been dropped by Andy C and various players in the dnb scene.

He may have only just made his first moves in dubstep, but his name has already been saturated within the scene. With support from Mary Anne Hobbs, Skream, Breakage, Joe Nice, Martyn, 2562, Ikonika etc; his tunes can already be heard in various sets around the globe.

MADD’s first release ‘Numbers’ will hit the shops soon coming on the fresh new label Boombap! Records, followed by a 4 track EP on Naked Lunch Records, and another 2 of his tunes “Homeland” and “Koopa” have been signed to 3.5 Records. Still a big bag of unreleased tunes remain to be heard. His DJ sets consist of all flavours from dubsteps repertoire, delivering fresh dubby beats whether it’s a deep roller or pure dance floor filth.

Alien Pimp

Born in 1976 and present in the musical life of Romania first as a radio DJ and journalist since the early age of 14 (no error, its for real!), Alien Pimp is the less known founder of one of the most acclaimed electronic music act in Romania in the 90s, NSK, in 1996. After a first gig, he left the group for a solo career, starting 2 projects: Alien Pimp and Sonic Tonic.
In the early years he approached almost all styles of electronic dance music, from gabber to garage, from big beat to dnb.

Fast enough, in 1998, Alien Pimp won first prize at ASSOS Music New Talent Festival, a national competition for the electronic dance music producers and since then he played at all the major festivals in the country, and countless club parties. In the last couple of years things cleared out for him: as Alien Pimp hes dj-ing and producing drumnbass, and under the Sonic Tonic alias he produces downtempo music with influences from all styles of electronica.

As well, since 2004 he has founded two new projects: one downtempo act, WeAreNotSure, together with the sensational young producer Silent Strike and a very gifted female vocal from Norway, Gunhill, and a liquid drumnbass act, Groovenauts, with Black Science Project from UK. As a producer, he has more than 10 tracks and remixes released on several Romanian compilations, and he produced the unanimously acclaimed Bucharest Chills & Thrills compilation in 2004.

As well, in 2004 he started building SoundKraft Records, a label, booking & management company focused on promoting East-european dnb & breakbeat artists. SKR had its first release in december 2005, a cd compilation called Eastern Sound Architects Vol. 1: East-European Drum'n'Bass, that proves the sun raises from the East.

In 2002 and 2004 he was member of the jury at the Eastern-European Discoveries national contest organised by Radio France Internationale for the electronic dance music talents.

As a Dj, Alien Pimp started to play for free in 2000 at the Web Club, which was for half a decade the biggest suporter of the electronic dance music in Bucharest. After a few unexpectedly successful parties, he was offered a residency there that he has never abandoned untill early 2005. He began with a very eclectic selection of styles, but now hes focused on dnb. Since then, he has constantly played in Bucharest (had 2 more residencies) and across Romania, but as well at the Sziget Festival in Budapest 2003, Germany, Austria (in Flex baby!), Hungary, Bulgaria, and in the Republic of Moldavia. He had the chance to spin on the same stage with the likes of Ganja Kru, Goldie, DJ Lee, Tech Itch, SKC, Concord Dawn, Big Bud, Matrix, Rawfull, Spor, Jade, BSE, Identity, Killa Kella, Shroombab, Palotai... or even did back to back with Impulse, Pyro or saintGein.

Recently he started to play together with MC Coppa, tearing down each dancefloor they hit together.
Apart from vinyl, he uses loads of hi-quality demos or local cd releases which never had the chance to meet a vinyl press.

In parallel with the dj/producer career, he pursued the journalist career, writing for allmost all publications focused on music (and not only).

Since early 2005, his dnb label, SoundKraft Records, developed two separate branches: artist management/booking and event promotion. Some of the best talents in East-European breakbeat and drumnbass work with SoundKraft and as well over 50 events in 2005 have the SoundKraft signature on.
His dubstep label, DubKraft Records, topped charts on juno, chemical records, beatport and digital-tunes and his first release, Robots & Cellos was a bestseller for almost 1 year after being released.

BIO

Ebola started making electronic music in 2000 using a walkman with a pitch control, and some Commodore 64 loading tapes. He moved to Brighton in 2001, formed the Wrong Music crew with DJ Scotch Egg, Roger Species and Shitmat, and began organizing chaotic parties with ridiculous line-ups from around the globe.

After buying a computer, doing a live session for Rob da Bank on Radio 1 in 2006, and getting a slot at the Glade Festival, Ebola began to establish and develop his low-frequency, glitched-out “grime-core” sound. Since then he has taken his explosive live set all over the UK, Europe and some parts of America.
He has collaborated with Otto von Schirach, Neil Landstrumm and Shitmat, and shared the stage with Clark, Mu-ziq, Wolf Eyes, The Bug, Scorn, Ceephax Acid Crew, Mark One, Duracell, KK Null, to name a few.
These days Ebola’s live sets are aimed at the dancefloor, and take in many “bass-oriented” styles from dubstep to dancehall, breakcore to booty-techno, crunk, grime, gabba etc.. and showcase his complete lack of ability to stick to any one genre or tempo.

“..I must admit, I’m a lot more concerned with making people dance than I ever used to be……but if I can make a few people fall over in the process then that is of course, a bonus.”

He has a few other side projects going on. Some of which you will know about, others you probably won’t.

OUT NOW….

MUTANT DUBSTEP Vol. 1 – EBOLA (SPECTRALIQUID RECORDS)

“Super evolving tech-noir hydraulic-step that pushes two metal fingers into the bloody eye sockets of Skream. The two winners here being lead track Painkillers, and Shitmat’s hyper focused screw-influenced take of Teledildonics. Music to both aspire and perspire to.”
- King Cannibal/ZILLA (Ninja Tune/Warp/Rag and Bone)

“Really nice work man! I especially like the original mixes”.
- DJ C

“Ebola just managed to damage my ears even more with this awesome 4-tracker EP…time to buy some new speakers i think!”
- Bong Ra (Kriss)

“Really loving the Mutant Dubstep vol. 1 record! It’s refreshing to hear music that is for the dancefloor… but still pays attention to structure. It moves!!! ‘Painkillers’ definitely leads the pack… but the whole release is fire. You guys smashed it.”
- Starkey (Werk/Slit Jockey/Trouble & Bass)

“Exactly the kind of stuff we need these days, breakcore is stale, dubstep is going slowly up its own bum. Nice to hear some good honest BASS stinkers. They should light up the dancefloor, get people waving their crunk cups and gripping their balls gangster style (if they have balls that is).”
- Bruce Stallion (Proboscus/TigerBass)

“Mutant Dubstep vol.1″ is the first CD out of Spectraliquid’s “Mutant Dubstep” series, which
will be complete in September 2008. Stay tuned!

ON A GASTRO-BASS TIP 12″ AVAILABLE TO BUY www.switchrec.com

“Ebola’s new “On a Gastro-Bass Tip” e.p. is a incredibly wicked ride. Intense, broken dubstep/IDM/Experimental Madness. I have been playing it constantly in my car now for 2 weeks!!!! The track “Girlfriend Trouble” is going to be a dance floor hit!”
(Richard Devine)

“While others jump belatedly on the dubstep/breakbore bandwagon, Ebola continues to sidestep genres with a melding of collision-course rhythms and truly unnerving electronic soundscapes. Close your curtains and turn this up to 11. Spring, is about to get really, really dark”.
(Zan Lyons)

“Listening to this ep in the hospital made me wanna sniff stool”.
(Otto Von Schirach)

EBOLA – Cannibal Penis Ballet
Sublight
CD // £13.99
ELECTRO / SYNTHPOP
Released: Dec 2006
Catalogue Number: SLR 2701

The opening track of this daintily titled mentalist opus features a cut-up of someone declaring “making music to piss you off”. But it’s only really the track titles (such as ‘Ted Bundy’s Aubergine Soundscape’) that are likely inspire that sort of response.

Ebola produces yammering, DSP-melting breakcore of the most severe kind. Expect tight drum edits and plenty of daft/offensive film sampling throughout. It’s not all along the lines of the obliterated hardcore of ‘Open University Dismemberment Breaks’ though: sometimes Mr Ebola is responsible for more subtle electronic noise manipulations.

‘Thankyou For My Speak And Read Henry’ and ‘Stoneleigh Requiem’ both provide an alternative view of Cannibal Penis Ballet: they’re altogether more abstract and derived not from mental, smashed-up breaks, but from wholly more interesting sources. Nice job.
