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.

Tracklist:
- The God Particle
- Concrete Paradise
- Hop Skotch Riddim
- Fuzzy Logic
- Boom and Bust
- Tetsuo
- Moon Ring
- Flowover
- Awareness Spectrum Narcotic
- Saprogenic
- Underling
- Antenna Riddim
- Longing
- Flowover (Naffdogg Overflow Remix)
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.

Tracklist:

- Gameplay
- First Light
- Haphazard
- Gondola Rhythm
- Reunite
- Starfish
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.

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?

Tracklist:
- Jólablót
- The Christmas Tree Cluster
- Land of the Midnight Sun
- North Star
- Lineae
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

Tracklist:
- Illium
- Dark City Lights
- Mercerism
- Arcade Excursions
- Limbo
- Last Tiks
- Jane Doe
- Valium Clouds
- Interrupted Thought
- Freond
- Targert Renegade Dub
- Torpid
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.

- Kickin' Leaves (Aniline Remix)
- Kickin' Leaves (Sal Volatile Remix)
- Kickin' Leaves (Wobble N Dubb Remix)
- Kickin' Leaves (Chris Kubex Remix)
- Kickin' Leaves (Autumn Dub)
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.

Tracklist:
- We'll Go No Mars A'Rovin'
- Rabbithole Breaks
- Coldpress
- Butterflies
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.
Little Nobody

Tracklist:
- Jacques Ane
- Dead Bass
- Disquo (Little Nobody Remix)
- Chunnel Web EQ
The multi-talented Tokyo-based Ozzy ex-pat Andrez Bergen makes a welcome return to Dead Channel with four solid cuts of main-room friendly techno.
These tracks evoke the sounds of Berlin’s legendary Berghain club and its residents Marcel Dettmann and Ben Klock – deep, shuffling slabs of late-night funk – but also retain that playful approach to production that we’ve come to associate with Little Nobody.
Recommended to all fans of quality deep techno.

- Hard Terrain
- Kafka Garage
- Left Behind
- Mood vs Mode
- Orange Nightmare
- Radio Maths
- Slow Wave Sleep
- RPG Dub
- Babylon Must Die
- Albatross
- Reptiles
- Shrap Nil
- Shut Down
This second retrospective of early works by Micoland has been compiled in the spirit of Spac Hand Luke Vs. Amen Andrews, in that both artists are in fact the same person. These tracks all date from 2007 and 2008 and feature both the Skam Records-inspired analogue experiments of his Conflux project, and the darker output of his Dubstep and Hip Hop tunes as Micoland.
The album’s tracks were written primarily on hardware such as the Roland Juno 6 and the Casio 101, through delay pedals and other cheap effects, giving the LP a unique feel, unlike much of the polished Dubstep released today. Many of the tracks here featured in the set he performed supporting Milanese at Room 237 in April 2008, but are released here, in all their lo-fi glory, for the first time.

- Propa Wood
- Boregasm
- Loud
- Twisted Fuck End
- Seppuku
- Mental Psychosis
- Gonzo Pornography (Hardcore)
- Front Gammon
- Tiny Dinosaur Hands
734 years in the making, Wobble N Dubb do not recommend you download their debut album, as it may pervert your perception of reality as you know it.
After a year of polluting the underground rave scene with atrocious, viscerally-coagulated beat spasms, they then retreated back to their secret lair in the Yorkshire mountains to push their manifesto of medical-grade noise to it’s logical conclusion. The chromosomes of Coldcut, Point B, Modeselektor, Reso and Venetian Snares have been spliced into a genetically modified hyper-toxic foetus, in an unprecedented and highly illegal collaboration with NASA and HP Sauce. The classified recordings of these unnatural experiments and irresponsible sound crimes, are presented here for your delectation and displeasure.
It’s Not Rocket Surgery but it sure as hell feels like it!
You have been warned.

Tracklist:
- Dark Freight
- Movement
- Modern Ruins feat. Lazarou
- Tourism

- Cumulo Nimbus
- Long Delays Expected
- Illegal Medium
- Blood
- On The Warpath Again
- Occident
- No Roots
- Motorsteuerung
- Universal Serial Bass
- Old Haunts
- Epitaph
The sounds of traditional northern electronics are combined with Mico’s fascination with dub, it’s unruly offspring dubstep and hip-hop, to produce an album with moments of startling beauty and darkness held together by deep grooves you can get lost in. From the menacing voice of the mysterious Lazarou on the title track, to the dreamy Orb-like pads of Cumulo Nimbus before it drops it’s heavy stepping dub riddem, this album has lots of great moments.
Mico has been hard at work in the studio and we’ll have new material very soon. Until then, this needs to go on your MP3 player for those dark winters commutes. The download includes a PDF booklet of album artwork designed by Micoland. Essential really.

Tracklist:
- Pipework
- Tuesday Cattle Market
- The Wishbone
- Mould
One half of infamous rave pranksters Wobble n Dubb, Mr Dogg returns for his second solo outing on Dead Channel with another EP full of clever drum programming, braindance melody workouts and electro-techno dance floor bombs.
Closing track Mould weaves a tight web of almost Drexciyan-like electro (influenced by inner city living rather than a forgotten Atlantis), while standout track Pipework is a sure-fire techoid dance floor killer. The package is completed with the trippy melody led techno of The Wishbone and the dark brooding breaks of Tuesday Cattle Market. Top stuff.

- Illicit Means
- One Less Digit
- Diuretics
- Hexadecimal
- Piperazine Paper Cranes
- The Unpleasent
- Binary Furs
- The Other End Of The Scale
- Opiate Towers
The brutality of his previous work still remains on tracks like Binary Furs and Hypertension, but this album adds far more textures to his sonic palette – from the low-slung darkness and twinkling melodic sheen of The Other End Of The Scale to the west coast hip-hop bounce of Function Out On Bail before it unleashes it’s payload of furious lo-fi beats, this album is a compelling listen. Approach with an open mind and you shall be rewarded.

Here we go again, strap yourselves in for some more Wobble & Dubb mayhem, same format as last time and just as crazily good.
The Otherside Mix was first featured on Lisa Right Eye’s superlative Otherside radio show (www.theothersideradio.com) and features the now infamous dual laptop mash-up style that these boys employ to full effect here.
Shatners Basson is quintessential Wobble n Dubb: a 12-minute long epic of comedy proportions.

We’ve been trying to prize a release out of the hands of this Brummie noise terrorist for some time now, and we’re buzzing: Klat Skat & Squidgy Black is here!
Featuring the opening track ‘South Side Shoot T Kill Klart’ which has been a favourite of Mary-Anne Hobbs and been featured on her Radio 1 show, the EP tears through the sort of Breakcore, Gabba and Junglistic mayhem that your parents wouldn’t like, but we most certainly do.

Here´s a bit of a treat. Ant Orange delves into his archives and pulls out 10 tracks of 303 joyousness.
Ant´s trademark slick production and love of Roland´s little silver box are well known, but the same can´t be said of all of the gems on this release. While it includes some tracks you may have heard (´Don´t Call Me Roland´ from ´One For The Ladies´) it will undoubtedly contain some that you haven´t, and the opportunity to own the best of Ant´s acid ramblings for the one off special price of free, is an opportunity you really shouldn´t miss.

- Faded Empire

- Ultrazero
It’s been nearly a year since Dead Channel co-conspirator and long-time Gonzo member Chris Kubex released his first full length album ‘Circuit Cities’.
Now he returns with ‘Sounds No Longer The Same’, and some may feel it’s an apt title. While retaining some of the melodious elements, which people have come to identify with his music, the dance-floor sounds of Dubstep, Ragga, Techno and Electro are more prominent this time around, and all get forced through the blender.
A long time spent immersed in the Leeds music scene seems to be forging a new spin on the Kubex sound – bass heavy, melodic, steppin’ rave tunes and the same old lush electronics – and we, for one, are loving it.

Long time Dead Channel supporter and artist Andrez Bergen presents his latest collection of tracks, with possibly the longest title yet seen on the label!
Hailing from Tokyo –via Australia- Andrez is as prolific as they come, and as well as producing under his many aliases still finds time to run the IF? Records label and write for a number of publications.
Busy boy… and ‘I have Become So Many People…’ is possibly our favourite Little Nobody release on Dead Channel so far. Andrez’s trademark sample-laden, cut-and-paste style is interwoven with a funk, glitch and humour all his own; a true original for sure.

Dimosthenis Nikolis AKA Dimomib makes his highly anticipated return to Dead Channel with a collection of harder techno based tracks from his personal archive, although reference to his last release – the classic ‘Lo-Fi’ – comes in the form of the scattered electronic beats of ‘Earth Evolving Catastrophy’.
Hailing from Athens, Greece, Dimomib’s approach to techno shares the same attention to detail, dark cavernous spaces and dub sensibilities as heard on his earlier work for the label. This time however the focus moves from the after party to the dance floor, with considerable panache.
Lovers of deep, dark, brooding techno, dub and superbly crafted dense atmospheres should definitely check this out.

- Dead Letter
- Theorise
- Unforeseen Forces
- Debris
- Traverse
- Simple Needs
A man who needs no introduction to regular followers of Dead Channel, Micoland returns to the label accompanied by the sublime, sultry tones of his sister Holly Bretton.
Waves of deeper than deep beats intermingle with creeping melodies to create a perfect soundscape for Holly’s haunting vocals. Fans of Portishead, Lamb and Massive Attack should definitely check this album out, although Traverse manages to achieve a personal sound that defies direct comparison.
An album that reveals it’s many layers with repeated listening, and could serve as the perfect soundtrack to your post-club sessions and deep-chilled moments, Traverse proved an instant winner with everyone here, we hope you enjoy it too.

Don’t say we didn’t get you anything for Christmas…
Leeds legend and a man who surely can’t remain in the shadows of the underground for long, Prod makes his welcome debut on Dead Channel with a collection of gems from his personal archive.
Multi instrumentalist, achingly talented and completely devoid of the sort of ego you normally associate with such things, Prod has honed his craft almost to the point of absolute perfection. Although this album lacks a lot of the vocal and instrumental elements that are such a feature of his new material (check the awesome new album ‘The Artworks Formerly known as Prints’ out now on Pollinate Records) it still has a musical depth that many attain to, yet few attain.
Add to that a dose of fun, and a keen eye on the dance floor and you have what will, we’re sure, become a future Dead Channel classic.

The idea was simple enough: ask a bunch of our artists to supply some samples and sounds, collate these into a sample pack, then give said sample pack back to the artists so they could create tracks for a compilation.
The result is a fascinating exhibition of different approaches to remix-craft, and (putting all music-geekisms aside), it´s simply an album of great tracks created using the same palette of sounds. We´re going a step further and encouraging people to create their own tracks with the Lego samples so that we can release them on a future Dead Channel compilation. To this end, we´ve uploaded the full sample pack, as it was distributed to the artists on this album. Send completed tracks in .WAV format (preferably using something like yousendit.com) to: dead-channel (at) live.co.uk
Enjoy listening. Enjoy creating.

Tracklist:
- Badravemusic
- Onaraggachip
- Crazy Russian
- Sid
- Too Many R3b00ts
- Onaraggachip (Ant Orange Remix)
- Nomen Luni (Micoland Remix)
Kubex returns to Dead Channel after his acclaimed debut ‘Circuit Cities’ dropped in August. Not new material, but material that needed to see the light of day, ‘LS4EP’ is a collection of older, harder tracks from the archives.
Starting with the nasty breaks of ‘Badravemusic’ and ending with the muscle bound angelic drum & bass of ‘Too Many R3b00ts’ this EP is a final glimpse of old-school Kubex, who’s style has been evolving since these tracks were recorded many moons ago. Kubex’s new full length album is due to appear on Dead Channel early in the New Year.
The EP also includes Ant Orange’s ninja-junglist remix of ‘Onaraggachip’ and Micoland’s suitably dark re-working of ‘Nomen Luni’ taken from the Circuit Cities album.

Dirtyload Records and Dead Channel are proud to present the follow up to Gwylo & Micolands 2006 Dirtyload debut ‘Reinfections’.
Hale Bopp sees the duo in a more diverse mood than last time, but having no less of an impact. The heavy dub vibes are still present, but this time round the pair have stretched their musical limbs out wide and embraced a plethora of styles. The result is truly special, with tracks like the awesome ‘Voxdub’ staying in your head long after the first listen.
Fans of dub, ragga, jungle and techno mixed up in a genre-splitting melody laden soup (and come on, isn’t that most of you?) will not want to miss this one.

Influenced by the sound of old 8bit computers, sampling culture, circuit bent experimentation and the rave scene (to name a few) Blip! utilise all kinds of gear, new and decrepit, to achieve their sound.
Look out for new Blip! work coming to Dead Channel in the future, as well as a live set that we hear is in the pipeline. We’ll be sure to bring you more, the next time they emerge from the dark..

The idea was simple enough: we asked a bunch of friends and other assorted miscreants to make a track for a compilation, with the criteria being ‘one for the ladies’. What came back was scary, hilarious, brilliant and ridiculous; often all at the same time.
So here we go. Strap yourselves in, take off your serious hat and indulge in Dead Channel’s first official compilation. Go girls.

Tracklist:
- Neva Truss Da Filf
- Knock Down Ginger Mix
Knock Down Ginger is the first outing for the brand new collaborative project from two of Leeds leading lights: Micoland and Naffdogg.
Dark, heavy and with a keen sense of humour, this is a tantalising glimpse of things to come.
This release also comes in a fairly unorthodox two part format: the first part is the debut Wobble n Dubb track ‘Neva Truss Da Filf’, the second part is a taste of what to expect from these guys live. Culled from hours and hours of live jamming with two laptops and effects and then condensed into just over twenty minutes of incendiary madness to shake your ass to – amazing.

Naff has been a part of the vibrant electronic music scene here in Leeds for a while now, and was one of its best kept secrets… until now.
It’s been a while in the making, but his debut EP is here, and it was well worth the wait. Referencing heavily from the West Yorkshire city he now calls home, Sheepscar is homage to all the music styles that make the city’s underground tick.
Effortlessly taking on electro, jungle, dubstep and more, and combining them with an awesome sense of melody and precision; this is an exciting glimpse of brilliance from the canine bad boy.

Dimomib is Dimosthenis Nikolis from Athens/Greece
Producer of minimal experimental techno/electronica music since 2002, in the mid 90’s he was inspired by the outbreak of electronic music and followed the scene as a listener; moving from techno to trance, fascinated by the “raw” sound of jungle, dub and many kinds of experimental electronics such as Aphex Twin, Autechre, Msquare and Black Lung, he decided to create his own blend of music.
Although his music is not tied to a specific genre, Dimomib has released dub techno and ambient/dub/electronica albums on the Deepindub and Insectorama net-labels.
Lo-Fi is a result of an experimental game with sounds.

Ant makes his full-length debut on Dead Channel in fine style with his latest offering: Plastique.
This release marks a move to slower paced, funky, acid soaked beats bathed in lush melodies, warm bass and clever samples. Plastique retains the silky production skills witnessed on Ant’s self titled debut (available on Dirtyload Records) but adds a further layer of sophistication.
This is the sound of a producer at the height of his considerable powers; absolutely unmissable.

Andrez Bergen, better known as Little Nobody, is an expatriate Australian journalist, some-time musician, photographer, DJ, occasional illustrative pencil-pusher, one-time filmmaker, writer, wayward graphic designer, and an ad hoc beer connoisseur, formerly from Melbourne, who’s been entrenched in Tokyo, Japan, for almost 7 years now. In most respects (aural and visual), Andrez likes to steal furtive glances in a pseudo-metaphysical rear-vision mirror, greedily brushing up on the “found art” chapter of the Dadaists’ handbook; he then plagiarizes heavily from the cut-up techniques of Brion Gysin and Tristan Tzara, nicks the deconstructive tendencies of post-modernism in jaded new ways, and casts a sardonic eye on the industrial music splice ‘n’ dice ideology of Cabaret Voltaire in the ‘70s – all the time stimulated by Marcel Duchamp’s display of a toilet urinal back in 1917.

It’s all laced with a charm befitting one of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet, and we hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did putting it together.
