Isotroph – Eclosion EP [F4T Records F4T13]

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

F4T Records are venturing in to deep dub-techno territory with their thirteenth release. The Eclosion EP, by Isotroph is an excellent example of deep, swirling, eveloping dub-techno.

After The Moon is an absolutely epic track, starting from almost nothing and building to a pulsing heartbeat.

Biotope takes a more techno/house based approach, but is equally satisfying when that beat kicks in.

Genese sits with Biotope as a more techno led number. The bass takes more of a front-row on this one, as it pushed the track towards a driving climax.

Right – that’s enough description – Get over to www.soundcloud.com/isotroph and check his stuff out.

The three release tracks are here…

Asusu – undiscovered deepness…

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

I’ve just been forwarded to Asusu, by a fellow producer and I have to say I’m mightily impressed.

I dread to mention Burial here, as it would seem people are getting sick of his oversaturated apparent influence (which I’ve yet to see proven) but let’s say Burial hooked up with Synkro, Indigo, Martyn and hell… TRG (just for the hell of it) – then the result would come out a little like Asusu.

His work reminds me of all of the above artists, and more – echoes of Boards of Canada, and Aphex Twin are apparent, and the more recent VVV shares a similar style.

So instead of rambling about how good it is any longer, I’ll just gently nudge you in the general direction of a top-notch EP on Junodownload, and indeed his MySpace page.

Enjoy!

New magazine – Modus

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

My newest project, and contribution to the world of dubstep & dub-techno is Modus.

It’s going to be a magazine aimed loosely at dubstep and dub-techno – but instead of focusing on merely reviews and interviews, we’re going to feature photography, artwork, features, proper articles, well informed research and so forth. We’re also looking in to competitions, giveaways, free tracks with each issue in the form of a media download pack and much more.

It’s all in development – but you can get yourself on the list to be notified when it launches at the site now…

I’d reccomend you add your email address – this could be big…
