Review: Cyrus - Nostalgia / Rupture [CHST019]

Published on 2012-05-24 08:46:00

Distance's Chestplate imprint marks its fifth birthday this year and is doing so with the sort of enthusiasm that a five year old child might: 2012 has, thus far, been a groundbreaking year for the label as the full Chesplate cohort have not only descended upon the world-famous Fabric to host the third room but have also since been making a regular contribution to MistaJam's 'Daily Dose of Dubstep' segment on BBC Radio 1Xtra. And this of course has all been backed up by a steady and, especially [..] > read more

Quickly becoming one of the most generous label collectives around, today sees one of Chestplate's recent recruits, District, give away two free tunes as a way of thanking the 2,000 fans who have amassed on his Facebook page.This comes after last week's announcement that Chestplate, which is headed up by scene veteran Distance, has been added to the 'Daily Dose of Dubstep' segment on MistaJam's Radio 1Xtra show, with the first dose being offered by Razor Rekta, whose debut release for the label [..] > read more

Featuring: Collision

Published on 2012-04-13 13:17:00

Collision has, for the last three years, been steadily sculpting his own sound from the 140bpm spectrum and now, with a couple of releases under his belt already, is establishing himself as one of the most consistent producers of original and intricate, deep dubstep. His tunes are characterised by their variation: each built around drum patterns constructed to test the confines of their tempo range, with an almost rhythmic, if not obsessively groove-based, approach to basslines and a sparing app [..] > read more

Thelem's star continues to rise, and this is another free tune from the hard-working producer.

After the huge response to last month's feature with Etch, we've decided to link up with the young producer once more to give away a free tune. 'Psycho Riddim' sets it's tone with a sample from Alfred Hitchcock's classic movie and then laces a tight garage break with a dark, oscillating bassline.Download: Etch - Psycho Riddim.Preacha. > read more

With all the sun the UK's been seeing over the last weeks it seems good timing to drop this free download from Premidist. First brought to our attention by AJP, Premidist describes his sound simply as 'bass and roots' and says 'if you stick to one genre, you learn nothing. In my eyes if it's different but sticks to the fundamentals it's good, and that's something I strive towards'. With a genuine creative drive behind his music, and plans to link up with fellow Wolverhampton producer Skitty, Pre [..] > read more

Despite claiming this one as favourite of those he's made, Benton today has simultaneously captured the early waves of the British summertime, celebrated reaching 2000 followers on Twitter and avoided troublesome sample clearances by giving away this smooth jungle-tinged roller for free. That he's giving away one of his favourite tunes, furthermore, can only suggest big things are to be expected from his debut LP, 'Reflections', which is due to drop this year on N-Type's Wheel & Deal Records.Dow [..] > read more

Free Download: Caski - Sinking

Caski, hailing from Bedford, has been carving his own sound out of the 140bpm bracket for a little while now. Incorporating a strong range of styles - from bouncing dark garage (see his recent release on El-B's Ghost Records), to straight-up, groove-driven dubstep, to four-to-the floor numbers and deep, cavernous half-steppers - his beats have been picked up by DJs on not only the major pirate (and of course, ex-pirate) stations but also the likes of BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra.

Published on 2012-03-10 19:13:00

For the latest in our features series we're taking the tempo down by a few notches to focus on the garage-led sounds of a nineteen year old producer from Brighton: Etch. Coupling tight, swinging rhythms with dark, grimey basslines similar to those pioneered by the likes of Zed Bias, El-B, Horsepower Productions and Darqwan at the turn of the century, Etch provides an update to the sound by drawing in influences from the musical landscape which was to develop as a result of the experimental work [..] > read more

Next week sees the amazing Submotion Orchestra embarking on a month-long tour of the UK, including dates in London, Sheffield, Leeds, Brighton, Bristol and Exeter. First stop, though, is arguably city-of-the-moment for UK bass music: Manchester, and long-running clubnight Hit&Run.

Close to rivalling Skream as the most generous man in dubstep, Sleeper has given away more music for free today; this time delivering four tunes from 2009. Whilst not as dark in mood as his more recent output, there is still a definite sense of depth and space at work here and an attention to detail in the development and control of atmosphere. With a more obvious garage influence in terms of rhythm, these are reminiscent of the early work of Indigo and Synkro and provide a refreshing insight in [..] > read more

As his name would suggest, Fornax' productions are all about space and stripping a tune back to its most basic elements of lilting rhythms and bassline grooves. 'Phalanx' is an example of this finely-honed approach to building beats; with subtle pipes, a warm, rolling sub-bass and minimal mid-range, there is a sense of effortless yet tightly-controlled movement.With a bunch of forthcoming releases lined up and a steady stream of collaborations with fellow fast-riser Content appearing, Fornax is [..] > read more
