I was just browsing through some emails listening to a few dubs i'd been sent and I came across this little gem....
CircusJam is one half of Subflex. A freshly formed production Duo...but it doesn't take long to realise listening to their Soundcloud that they are defintely one to watch.
To promote the release on 'Second To None Music' next week (4th October), we are giving away two free tracks for everyone to enjoy! They have both recieved a lot of love and been played at some big events, and now every1 can have them aswell!
To check out the release out next week with tracks from Vital Techniques and Euby, check out the release post:
Today I bring you a producer called Dub Fiend. His track “Sunset” has atmospheric summer vibes, the intro being really chilled and ambient, and a soft reverse crash leads us into what you could call the drop, it being made up of gentle breaks and a nice trancey leadand bassline.
The best part of the track is probably the glockenspiel that kicks in around 16 bars after the drop, all the while the breaks, pads, and piano working together to create a beautiful summertime melody. The track is aptly named, because you could listen to it watching the sun set…
And finally a producer by the name of Jah Billah. His track “Cuss Cuss 2010” can only be described as nu-skool reggae. Very futuristic in its use of synths and effects, it’s an original take on dubstep to say the last. It retains its reggae roots and influences, but this guy has gone all Y2K10 on the reggae genre, with a catchy, bleepy lead synth and danceable melody- this one would certainly go down well on the dancefloor.
Dubba Jonny are a Dubstep production and DJ duo from Bournemouth, rapidly rising in the scene....not long after they released their 2000fandem mix to mark the fact their facebook page reached 2000 fans they now release 3000fandem to mark....well 3000 facebook fans...
So download it innit and keep your eyes peeled for these 2 with some sick tings in the pipeline....
This week I’m going to start off with Rdubz, a producer who sent me half a dozen demo tracks due out for release soon. Here is a review of three of the six tracks he sent me, with the other three coming soon.
The first track I kicked off with was “Creep”. A nice ominous atmosphere on the intro which I always like, then the hats and finally a steady, rhythmic drum pattern with a delayed snare followed. But what grabbed me was the leadbass synth. Retro-style, almost 8bitty, it was refreshing to hear…because I must admit I thought I was going to listen to quite a heavy brostep track with saw-tooth wobble going by the name and the intro. The bassline work was fluid and catchy and an altogether interesting track.
Then probably the pick of the half-dozen, “Dirty Air”, the intro consisting of stabby synths which gave the track a gritty urban feel. The bass was reminiscent of Rusko- “Mr Chips” and again a nicely progressive, catchy bassline and drum pattern with intermittent breaks of the intro synth. The second drop had a nice arped lead which adds to the atmosphere.
“Stonehead” delved more into the brostep territory, with trademark Cockney vocal sample, and a danceable piano to keep the rhythm, supporting an angry distorted bassline. This is more up filth-lovers street.
The tracks are due for release on various labels soon so we’ll keep you posted.
