Dub & dub-techno NI Massive loops from Steve Foulds

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

So, 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, 2009

After 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

blacklight

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!
