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…

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.

Leo Cavallo

Monday, January 12th, 2009

I’ve just been introduced to Leo Cavallo an Intalian producer, currently living in Barcelona. His main job is as a sound-designer/editor for Sony Pictures/Creative Software, but as if that wasn’t enough Leo turns his hand very well to the sounds of dub-tech.

His tracks are clean and crisp, while retaining the warmth of the filtered noise and muted bassdrums that dub-techno so heartily embraces. There’s more of a driving urgency throughout his tracks, as opposed to the more relaxed nature of say, Dave Wesley. And as opposed to obvious changes in tempo or sound, there’s some great subtle percussion and sounds going on throughout many of his tracks.

I’m actually really glad that this whole new world of dub-techno has been opened up to me, and I’m loving every minute of it. Finding new tracks, artists and diverging from the big-names, to places I never thought I’d hear.

Leo can be found on Bandcamp. I urge you to make some purchases!

King SlaFF – Testament

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Fire over to King SlaFF’s MySpace and cop a listen to ‘testament’ on the player.

It’s a simple construct, and the bassdrum may not knock your socks clean-off, but there’s something very attractive about this track. It has that regular irregularity, that organised disorganisation, a feeling of diversity, while retaining a very singular theme.
