Our good friend Sal Volatile has been locked away in deepest darkest Midlands fusing Brummie Electro and Techno with the futuristic sounds of Dubstep and Grime to make a thoroughly pleasing cocktail.
While we wait for his maiden voyage on the Good Ship Dead Channel, we present his offering to the Deadmix series: a tasty blend of future bass music that had us jumping all over the shop.
Add Mr. Volatile to your ‘ones to check in 2009’ list now…
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.
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.
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.
Leeds dubstep innovator Micoland returns to Dead Channel with All Loop Traffic, showcasing the evolution of his trademark style of glitchy, electronic, bass heavy rhythms.
Opening with the awesome bass pressure of the minimalist masterpiece ‘Deadstep’ and ending with the sublime underwater claustrophobia of ‘Unnamed Methane Sea’ this release is set to cement Micoland’s reputation as one of the people responsible for truly moving the dubstep blueprint into exiting new aural landscapes.
