Dead Channel are extremely proud to present our latest compilation album – DC International.

This release showcases amazing electronic music that we’ve found from all around the globe (including France, Norway and Japan) and delivers an extremely varied yet rewarding listening experience.

Fans of Acid, Braindance, Electro, Techno and Industrial music are in for a treat, with Mirko Kosmos and VD Ripping up some Noise and busting out some glitched-up funk. Dramatic contrasts such as John Merick’s bad ass remix of Naffdogg’s Disposable World, against the ruthless intensity of Svindron (reminiscent to that of Aphex Twin’s Drukqs at times) are balanced by a coherence of mood and process that pervades the entire album.

This is an interesting time for independant music. A whole generation has grown up since the birth of the internet. Kids in hundreds of different countries are downloading software and making their own beats. Electronic music is now a global culture, and we’re happy to present to you, here, a small, but perfectly formed piece of it.

Pirate Radio Astronomy is the definitive Micoland LP.

There were rumours that this might be Mick Schofield’s last album as Micoland, as he began to move away from Dubstep and into stranger territory with his experimental work as Conflux and collaborative projects Urban Exploration and Wobble N Dubb.

But Micoland definitely has new beats on the way, and this timely release of his greatest LP to date, Pirate Radio Astonomy, should only reaffirm his position as a Dubstep producer of quality.

The tracks presented here are about as far away from Skrillex as you could get within the same genre. Glitched dancehall riddims rub shoulders with infectious Hip Hop grooves, subtle electronics and the kind of wobble bass you used to hear in dark clubs before everyone started using the same synth.

This album may have many dancefloor-friendly moments and heavy bass drops, but it is Micoland’s consistent use of atmosphere and melody which holds his work together, always transporting you to new places and never a slave to the formula. Certainly his most radio-friendly work to date, it manages to be accessible without selling out, and stands as evidence that Dubstep may well have some life left in it yet.

Hold on to the nearest unmoveable object, because this one is sure to blow you away! Dead Channel presents the incredible, debut LP from Nokah, Central Light Core. Straight from the streets of South East London, this album combines the best of rave influenced electronica and the new wave of bass music with a genre-defying style that is both unique and fresh. Don’t be surprised if you hear a lot more about Nokah in the years that follow this release.

Even from the first track, Clocks, you can hear the flawless transitions between sections he so masterfully creates and is followed by the outstanding and relentless Beat Babies, which manages to take you on an atmospheric but brutal journey within the space of 3 minutes and 15 seconds.

Old school heads will be pleased to hear the early rave style sounds of Cut The Kids In Half and It’s Just A Dream, but it’s safe to say that anyone with an eclectic taste in electronic music will find something they like on this album, as Nokah effortlessly displays his take on hip-hop, dubstep, drum’n'bass, old school hardcore, breakcore and braindance, to bring you this epic debut. We really hope you enjoy this release as much as we do.

Dead Channel are proud to release, here, for the first time, Bo Legz long awaited debut album.

Former singer-songwriter Holly Bretton, who has worked in collaboration with Dead Channel artists Micoland, Naffdogg and Prod (aka I Beep Therefore I Am), decided a couple of years ago to start producing her own tunes under the name Bo Legz.

Under the influence of computer games, summer free parties and local rave night Gonzo, Holly began to write eclectic electronica, taking in Techno, Trip Hop and Dub styles along the way. She quickly began to develop her own unique sound, an epic and mournful synth music, that is in turn both monstrously heavy and wistfully delicate. This LP embodies her meteroic rise as a producer well worth watching out for.

Recommended for all fans of melodic rave music.

This release also contains a folder of original artwork by the artist.

Full Wolf is a joint venture with Jehm Records, featuring the unquestionable talents of Yorkshire producer Oli Hemingway, in his first outing for Dead Channel.

Originally released in 2010 on R3toX Records, this superbly crafted LP is now available for free download, freshly re-recorded and mixed for this release.

An album of 70s & 80s horror & b-movie influenced techno and electronic bleepiness, this release is brimming with dancefloor bangers.

Now who’s afraid of the big bad Full Wolf?

This EP is Mick Schofield’s first release under his recently reactivated Conflux moniker, and is quite a departure from any sound you may have previously associated him with.

Smooth electronics, super-chilled glitch hop and heavy cinematic ambience gradually build up a picture of desolate icy landscapes, warm log fires, twinkly distant lights and the ethereal majesty of the aurora borealis overhead. Anyone would think this guy was from Finland or something!

If you’re into the sounds of múm, Biosphere or Boards of Canada, or if you’re just looking for something more interesting than Wham! to listen to this Christmas, we highly recommend this new EP.

Happy solstice DC fans x

This latest LP from Chris Kubex really feels like an artist hitting his stride, and features some of his best work to date. Emotive electronica drifts from Techno into House into Chip-tune nostalgia and everywhere in between, with a precision and attention to detail which belies categorisation.

From the dark back-alleys of Mercerism to the wistful digital melancholy of Arcade Excurions and Valium Clouds – At The Expense of Many takes you on journey that is in turns both uplifting and totally immersive.

This album should be listened to as a whole for the most rewarding experience. It is as equally suited to pre and post club listening, as it is for soundtracking your late night road trips and early morning train commutes.

Naffdogg returns to Dead Channel for his first solo outing since 2010’s Pipework EP with the Kickin’ Leaves EP, which presents the original track alongside six re-interpretations.

The original is a wonderful care-free journey into the mind of Naffdogg, with it’s mix of funk-laden chopped beats, dreamy synth’s, tumbling chip melodies and sub bass. Bo Legz turns in a nice solid 4×4 workout while still making use of those lush melodies; Aniline rework the melodic elements into a dreamy journey reminiscent of early Plaid; Sal Volatile presents the most radical remix with heavy stepping beats and creeping synths; Wobble & Dubb keep the feel of the original while toughening up the beats and hooks and Chris Kubex goes deeper with a minimal approach.

Rounding out the package is the ‘Autumn Dub’ which adds ethereal vocals and deep subs into the mix.

We are also including the stems from the original version so feel free to loop, mash up and glitch yourself stupid! Please send any remixes to deadchannelrecords[at]gmail.com we would love to hear them!

You will find the parts you need in a zip file called KL STEMS, packaged with the release.

We are happy to announce the newest international artist to Dead-Channel; Pocketsquare.

Here we bring you a strong and defined release all the way from Saint Paul, Minnesota, delivering a collection of flawless electronica tracks suited to the dancefloor, but with a smooth and subtle edge.

The Peacocking EP is as well constructed as it is interesting and combines the flair apparent in his earlier drum’n'bass work as Terminal Minded and Nob&Gate Ltd. with clean production, rudeboy basslines, off kilter melodies and awesome, skippy 2-step riddims.

Although these tracks would fit easily into most dj sets, they are by no means your standard affair and include definite unique qualities that should not be overlooked. Whether it’s the rave-in-space characteristics of We’ll Go No Mars A’Rovin’ or the melancholy, melodic flourishes in Butterflies, Pocketsquare administers his sound with finesse from start to finish and is a very welcome addition to the fold.
