I was recently notified about David Wesley’s productions, following my new direction with the blog, and was pleasantly surprised to find some excellent work on his website.
Not only was there a number of tracks to stream, but there was also the option to download some tracks (albeit 128k through bandcamp, but the option for higher qualities and different formats was there if you wanted to part with a wee bit of cash.
His stuff seems to sit very firmly in the dub-techno genre, but have less of the constant hypnotic beat of the likes of Quantec or the Modern Love lot, and don’t seem to be as washy and beatless as Severence, they have similar elements to both sides of the sound, but feel slightly more leftfield. There’s more of a slow, stepping beat on a number of his productions, and there’s often a few more interesting sounds and samples introduced which takes away slightly from the ambience element, and keeps the sound interesting.

Check his stuff out – My favourites from the page are “Circuits of Iapetus” and “Hyperdimensional Hexagon” from the Inverted Pyramids EP.
