CHANNEL037 Conflux vs. Micoland – Ark Hive

micoland — Tue, 24 May 2011 00:53:32 +0000

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.

DEADMIX006 Sal Volatile

Ant — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:24:38 +0000

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…

CHANNEL016 Wobble N Dubb – Knock Down Ginger

Ant — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 14:25:24 +0000

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.

CHANNEL014 Naffdogg – Sheepscar EP

Ant — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 14:24:08 +0000

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.

CHANNEL001 Sofaboy – Sofaboy!

Ant — Sat, 24 May 2008 18:22:50 +0000

We couldn’t be happier about the fact that this is the labels inaugural release.

Thirteen tracks of pure joy from Dave Blakemore’s Sofaboy project, from bouncy summertime techno to orbital-esque electronica and back (via some beautiful soundscape excursions).

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.
