Steve has done us all a favour again, and provided us with a set of those beautiful deep, dubby chords. Take your production deeper by 1000 leagues and grab them for yourself.

Steve Foulds – New Massive patches
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010Isotroph – 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…

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!

Deeper Level Records – dl_1.02
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010
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.
Dub & dub-techno NI Massive loops from Steve Foulds
Sunday, November 8th, 2009So, I recently posted about Steve’s incredible new Black Light EP, and his apparent new-found love for all things dub-techno.
As a result of this, he’s been working hard on some patches for Native Instrument’s behemoth “Massive”.
Each of the patches has a different dub-techno styled synth sound, with macro controlled iterations on each loop. Each patches is separate by a clave. To get them, all you need to do is buy the track he created to demonstrate their use.
Jump on to his Bandcamp and grab “Low Winter Sun” and he’ll then fire you a link to download the samples.
Larvely!
Steve Foulds – Low Winter Sun
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009After hearing his Blacklight EP, I’ve been on at Steve for some collaboration, so expect to hear some Steve Foulds & DFRNT combined material at some point in the future, however for the time being you should check out his new track “Low Winter Sun”
You can stream it from his Soundcloud here – http://soundcloud.com/breakitdown/low-winter-sun
Watch out for those beautiful dubby synths in the breakdowns (and the intro) – This one is fairly progressive too – a nice big driving drumloop and bassline keep this one a little more dencefloor orientated.
Get on it!
Steve Foulds – Black Light EP
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Having moved quite swiftly from dark, driving progressive house to the sweeping filtered white-noise of dub-techno, Steve Foulds has shown us that his production ability is second to none.
His first foray in to the world of dub-techno, in the form of the Black Light EP is sublime. Check it out here.
Four tracks of filtered ambience, set to tight percussion, with a nice variety of dubby swooshes, and all those nice touches that make the sub-genre so enjoyable (for me anyway).
I’m aware of Steve’s pre dub-techno explorations in to progressive house, and have always admired his ability to craft a good drumloop, and bass pattern, so it’s great to see him developing his style and I can really only expect more top tracks to come.
There are rumors of a vinyl release for this EP – but for now, you should go buy it from his Bandcamp page. As well as getting four amazing tracks, you’ll be able to say “i got there first” when his tracks skyrocket in popularity too!
Leo Cavallo – Rotational EP
Saturday, September 26th, 2009So I’ve posted about Mr Cavallo our friend from Barcelona before, but he’s just sent me an update of his goings on.
Firstly, you can get his new Rotational EP here – which contains tracks which are, in his own words “Noisy, hissy, chords driven, deep, dubby techno [and] perfectly matching these melancholic end of summer nights.”
The best bit is – if you buy the album, as thanks for your support, Leo is planning to send our a samplepack of loops, hits, chords and so on – taken from the EP tracks, along with some words from the man himself about how he created the dubby samples from scratch!
Good work Mr Cavallo. I salute you! And look forward to those samples!
Grad_U / Mr. Cloudy – Apsupty Gamtos [ECc007]
Friday, September 18th, 2009
And so continuing their array of excellent releases, ZeECc records have once again produced what might be their deepest release yet.
Grad_U and Mr. Cloudy take the helm on this one for more of that familiar, yet new deep dubby goodness.
If you’re in to your dub-techno then best be sure to take note of this label and what they’re doing. Every release is a winner!
Free dub-techno from Deep In Dub netlabel
Saturday, July 4th, 2009I’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!
