Deeper Level Records – dl_1.02

It’s always refreshing to see labels doing things a little differently, and so the first thing to catch my eye about Deeper-Level was their format. Although not original, it’s certainly refreshing and not a common occurance (as far as I’m concerned) to see releases go out on nice little packaged SD cards.

As far as the release is concerned – I was sold from the outset. The general gist is dub-techno, but it’s more than just your general wash of beats with a next-door thud below them. There’s a good variation of sounds on here from the dubbed-out glaze of Optic, to the slightly more glitched up zzzzra, or the slightly more full-on Area & Mikkel Meyer opener.

All in all, it’s a nice little collection, and when it comes in such a lovely package, you can’t really say no to something like that.

Worst comes to worst, you get yourself a spangly 1Gig SD card for your dosh.

New look, feel and direction for the blog

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

I’ve decided to give Sitting Ovation a little bit of a makeover. I’m still ironing out bits here and there, but I’m more or less up and running with the new design.

My reason for the re-vamp was that I’ve decided to slightly change the direction of the blog. Not only will I be reviewing things when I get the chance, but I’ll hopefully be making more smaller posts about tracks I want to highlight without writing a review, and posts that don’t always contain a review in them.

I’m eager to branch the posts out in to more dicsussion, and opinion as opposed to strictly reviews and exposure, so this now includes night info, releases, opinions, top tens, new mixes, albums downloads and just about anything that fits.

I’ll be keeping the posts and text on the smoother, deeper end of the dubstep and dub-techno spectrum, but don’t expect a limited view. I just like to specialise a little.
