Egoless – lots of free dubs!

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

The very talented Egoless has decided to give away all (bar one) of his previous tracks, in light of the fact that he’s now working on full-length projects.

So without further messing around, I’d like to direct you towards his post on DSF about it, or see the links below…

Lethem Dub – 2 free EPs

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Well produced deep dubstep with touches of classic dub/reggae and the sensibilities of dub-techno with added ambience.

You can’t pass this up to be honest. A producer who goes by the name of Lethem has just released 2 EPs which you can go and grab for free. Together, that’s 7 tracks for absolutely nothing.

Often free EPs can be risky in terms of quality and production value, not to mention mastering and vareity, but this seems to tick all those boxes and more.

For fans of dubstep of all types, although especially the deeper more experimental side – this is not to be missed.

You can sign up for the EPs here – http://lethemdub.com/ where a simple email signup witll grant you access to the goods.

I can’t say much more than “go get” really! Larvely stuff.

Ben Neill – Night Science [Album release]

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

benneil

As soon as I’d heard Ben Neill had sorted himself out with an album of his twisted dubstep-jazz schmooze I was on it like an instant!

Whilst appealing to those who favour the deeper more experimental end of the dubstep spectrum, the Mutantrumpet master himself keeps things fresh with his brand of dub-jazz-step or whatever you’d like to brand it.

If you can imagine scenes from a sleazy flim-noir strip-joint scene amped up on electronics fizzing with tension, yet smooth enough to drink straight, you’d be getting close to Mr Neill’s subtle, yet powerful production work and musicianship.

If you pick up any album this month (after my own that is!) then let it be Night Science by Ben Neill. Highly recommended.

As far as I’m aware, Night Science is available now. Go find it!

2562 – Unbalance (Forthcoming)

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Dave Huismans is set to release his sophomore 2562 album later this year.

The Dutch producer’s Aerial album of last year managed to excite both techno and dubstep fans with its synergy of rolling rhythms and sublow frequencies, becoming a touchstone for DJs who were attempting to blur the boundaries between the two genres. While a fully realised micro-scene never seemed to materialise, Huismans has continued to mine this particular sound, although with more of a focus on his A Made Up Sound moniker, which was created to showcase a broken house and techno vibe.

His latest 2562 full-length is titled Unbalance, and although we’re still to hear any of the tracks on the record apart from the wonky halfstep of “Love In Outer Space” (which featured on this year’s Tectonic Plates Vol 2 compilation), we’re assured by Tectonic boss Pinch that his second album will eclipse the template set out on Aerial. “I’ve worked closely with 2562 over the last few years,” he states, “and I can honestly say that Unbalance is an incredible album – it’s one of the most exciting releases that Tectonic has seen to date – it vastly exceeds the already high standard he set himself with Aerial.” (RA)

Tracklist
01. Intro
02. Flashback
03. Lost
04. Like A Dream
05. Dinosaur
06. Unbalance
07. Superflight
08. Yes / No
09. Who Are You Fooling?
10. Narita
11. Love In Outer Space
12. Escape Velocity [digital only]

Tectonic will release Unbalance on November 2nd, 2009.

Skyence – Hatred / Concrete [FREE EP]

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

It’s been a wee while since I last posted, so here’s something I’ve been meaning to mention for a week or two now.

Skyence – the producer behind a great debut EP on Dubkraft, has just released 2 free tracks which go a little way towards a heavier and more diverse sound.

You can get the tracks and artwork here.

Autopilot – Step Down EP [FREE]

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Since Autopilot’s going to be one of the talented producers I’m selecting for the forthcoming Echodub Loves compilation, I felt it would be a good idea to mention his fresh new free EP!

Step Down is a collection of 8 tracks, which I’d describe as deep and synthy with clear influence from IDM a sprinkling of glitch and some excellent compressed crunchiness.

Download the EP here

Absense – Haze

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

The consistently excellent Absense has unveiled a new track from his secret workshop and I’m delighted to be able to present to you “Haze”.

You can hear the track on Absense’s MySpace here.

It’s perfect really. I have real difficulty putting my appreciation for Absense’s work in to words – suffice to say I’m desperate to hear more from him in the future!
