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…

Then go buy the release when it surfaces!

I’m all up for free music, and so as soon as I was told about Bojcot Selectah’s U Know EP, I made a point of grabbing it right away.

I’d suggest you do the same. Immediately!

Dave Wesley – Merkaba Sessions Alpha EP

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Mr Wesley has certainly been busy since we last featured him on SittingOvation. With a number of other releases out on Arctic Dub he’s been working hard to bring us all that sweet dub-ambient and dub-techo sound.

His latest EP “Merkaba Sessions Alpha” is available on Bandcamp right now, and I have to say I’m still as impressed now as I was a year back when I first came across his stuff.

I suggest you take a trip over to his Bandcamp page now and check out his latest offerings!

Skyence – STOKE005

Monday, April 19th, 2010

I think I mentioned Stoke Audio a while back, and I’m fairly sure I mentioned that they were looking very promising indeed – and now, as if to confirm my words with a seal of approval, I present to you STOKE005 – by Skyence.

The German producer has been on my radar for a long time now, and his output is consistently excellent. This release proves no different. His work is crystal clear, fusing serene bleeps and tight beats round a mutating bassline in “Millions Of Miles” – with The Next’s remix providing a more uptempo version with extra goodness. “String Theory” is a marginally more blissed out affair, but with some great beat-work and a real groove to get yourself stuck in.

STOKE005 is a fantastic look at what the label and Skyence can offer – I’d urge you to not only check this, but previous releases and also previous work by Skyence. His gleaming portfolio of tracks demonstrate a huge ability to produce over a number of speeds, and with a number of styles.

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.

http://soundcloud.com/openearz-recordings

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!

Martello Rotativo – You Are Beautiful (Dedicated)

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.
