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.

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.

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.

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.

The 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
