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.

Robota is re-interpreted by a host of artists including: E383, Chris Kubex, Micoland, Ant Orange, Prekids, Noisepsalm and Dave Blakemore to name a few.

You can pick up the IF? Version of this release, which features more exclusive mixes and costs a very agreeable £4.99 from here: http://www.junodownload.com/products/1441598-02.htm

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.

If you like your music intense, come check out this bad man, essential.

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.

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.

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.

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..

Claustrophobic textures mix with with dark, brooding atmospheres and some healthy dub sensibilities; Injured Aerm Army is a listening experience that creeps up your spine before entertaining your ears.

The release features remixes from fellow Americans Interloper and Headcase, and guest vocals from Math’s son Phoenix.
