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!

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.
