Stoke Audio – New digital label

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Brainchild of German producer and DJ TKR, Stoke Audio is a new digital label focusing on deep and tech-influenced dubstep.

With vinyl planned for the future, and some really nice artwork/identity – I expect you’ll be hearing and seeing more from Stoke Audio in the near future.

Already boasting one free EP and a regular digital release – with three more planned, it would seem that Thomas Schwarz is pretty serious about making it all work.

I’ll let the music do the talking, but I’m certain you won’t be disappointed!

Autopilot – The Idealist EP

Friday, February 12th, 2010

The Idealist EP cover art

Bringing his unique variation of percussion-smattered twisted melodic elements and deep basslines, Autopilot delivers a cracking new EP called “The Idealist”

It’s a “pay what you like” affair – with no minimum purchase, so it’s just on your conscience to hook the guy up with some sheets!

The highlight for me was “The End” with it’s hypnotic bassdrum, punching through the track, but all of the tracks are well produced and enjoyable in their own respect. As a package, this manages to highlight the Philadelphia based producer’s range of talent. If Autopilot isn’t a household name (in the dubstep world) by the end of this year, I’ll eat my hat. And his hat. And your hat too.

Get the EP here on Bandcamp

Dom Hz – EARZ003 – Openearz Recordings

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

It’s been a while since a dubstep release has really pushed me far enough to need to post about it here – which in a way is a shame, but also a testament to the quality of Openearz Recordings’ newest EP from Dom Hz.

Not content with putting out incredible releases from Indigo, xxxy and Synkro, they have called upon yet another Mancunian Dom Hz to fulfill the latest delight.

The release is pure aural pleasure. From the abyssal “Mist” with it’s synth-led intro and epic drop in to sub laden territory, through Elevator Skank, with it’s rolling organ vibes, piano and vocal snippets, to the super-loved-up “Without You” doing for dubstep, what Herbal Essences did for shampoo.

If ever there was a release to get for a Valentines gig – this was it!

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Lovely track this. I’ve kept an eye on Mr Rotativo’s stuff since featuring him on Echodub Loves Vol 1 – and this certainly caught my ears.

Wixel – An Empty Canvas EP [FREE download]

Monday, July 13th, 2009

I’ve been spellbound this evening, by a producer who calls himself Wixel.

If you can imagine for a moment, that you’re deep in meditation. If you don’t meditate – try to imagine what it might be like. Everything is still, there’s almost silence, and a real sense of calmness.

Then slowly from out of the atmosphere – so slowly you barely notice it until it’s upon you – rises a layered chorus of filtered sound. A soft, intrigue-filled noise – with small snippets of places and feelings that drift in and out.

This is what Wixel’s “An Empty Canvas” EP sounds like. In his words “i cant say what i would compare it too, just tried to follow my own thing – even though i must admit i am heavily influenced by that burial (thread). ive been sampling youtube + beats off the grid all the time. feel free to grab it or whatever. check track 6 if you only check one track.”

Go and download this immediately!

Free dub-techno from Deep In Dub netlabel

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

I’ve just stumbled across Deep In Dub, and I’m rather impressed by the amount of music on offer here.

From what I gather it’s all dub-techno – and your best ooption is to just jump right in and start downloading.

I started with the Dublicator release “Chord Center” and haven’t looked back!

Egoless – No Ego, No Problems EP – FREE

Friday, May 1st, 2009

It all started with “Ja” after hearing it on Myrkur’s Radikal Radio on Sub FM. I was hooked by the depth, and sheer production value in a track which took dubstep, and mixed with a real middle-eastern vibe. Not in the blatant, dancefloor-filling sens of Chase and Status, but in a way that was far more profound, and encompassing.

And so, I’m delighted to be able to promote the No Ego, No Problems EP – where you can get this and 5 other sublime tracks for free. Yep… sheer quality, for nothing.

Croatia’s Egoless has me hooked. A producer who has taken real time and precision to perfect an EP of tracks which take influence from a variety of places, styles and dare I say it feelings.

In his own words “I have some special feelings about the songs in this release, I don’t want to sell this, and make it a “product”. That’s the reason i refused some of the labels that wanted to release this and decided to put this for free. You may disrespect and ignore it automatically because it’s free, but the positive feelings that aroused my soul while making these tunes will never fade away…”

I shouldn’t need to say anything else.

Download the EP here.

Deep, Liquid & Soulful Dubstep Producers and Labels – Where to start…

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Since this seems to be quite a common request from a number of newcomers to the scene, I felt the necessity to post something that they could be pointed in the direction of, to save people answering the same question over and over.

Here are – in my opinion – some of the better producers making deeper, garage-influenced, liquid and more soulful dubstep. If you feel i’ve made any mistakes, or not included “absolutely crucial” producers – just comment, and I’ll amend wherever possible.
