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.

CHANNEL021 Various Artists – The Lego Project
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008CHANNEL019 Gwylo & Micoland – Hale Bopp
Friday, October 17th, 2008Dirtyload 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.
DEADMIX004 Gwylo
Monday, September 1st, 2008This month on Deadmix duties, we present Gonzo lynchpin and the man behind Dirtyload Records doing what he does best: banging out an hour of the finest quality dance floor exploding rave tracks.
Ragga, breakcore, hardcore and whatever else is needed to make people lose their heads on the dance floor get mashed up in a fine example of what makes Gwylo such a sought after DJ in these parts.
Includes tracks from Otto Von Shirach, Venetian Snares, King Cannibal, The Bug, Kid 606 and more.
CHANNEL008 Gwylo – Fullbodygurn EP
Sunday, June 15th, 2008Dirtyload Records and Gonzo lynchpin Gwylo graces Dead Channel with his ‘Fullbodygurn’ EP, a high octane ride for the neo-rave generation.
Taking a no-nonsense hardcore approach, Gwylo tears through eight tracks of the sort of breakcore, gabba, hardcore and future rave music that has made his DJ sets so legendary around these parts.
One for the hard crew!
CHANNEL003 Micoland – Dawn Raid Symphony Remixes
Saturday, May 24th, 2008The track ‘Dawn Raid Symphony’ is taken from Mic Schofield’s awe-inspiring debut album ‘My Cold Land’, out now on Dirtyload Records.
Instead of putting out the original album track, we have re-interpretations here from Gwylo, Blackhat, Ant Orange and Micoland himself. All take the original in distinctly different directions, while retaining the dense, claustrophobic, dystopian quality that makes Micoland’s work so distinctive. ‘My Cold Land’ is available to buy from gonzo.me.uk
