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.

The sounds of traditional northern electronics are combined with Mico’s fascination with dub, it’s unruly offspring dubstep and hip-hop, to produce an album with moments of startling beauty and darkness held together by deep grooves you can get lost in. From the menacing voice of the mysterious Lazarou on the title track, to the dreamy Orb-like pads of Cumulo Nimbus before it drops it’s heavy stepping dub riddem, this album has lots of great moments.

Mico has been hard at work in the studio and we’ll have new material very soon. Until then, this needs to go on your MP3 player for those dark winters commutes. The download includes a PDF booklet of album artwork designed by Micoland. Essential really.

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

Hidden Records 01-06 is a substantial collection of unreleased early works by Micoland recorded between 2001 and 2006. The album also contains tracks from his Conflux project and presents an eclectic mix of styles from IDM to Grime to Ambient Techno to Hip Hop tracks. The trajectory from his earliest experiments to his current atmospheric Dubstep/Techno sound is laid for all to hear, here!

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.

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.

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.

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
