Our favorite paragons of deep, dark and minimal drum and bass are back with a fresh batch of releases for their resident label None60 this September.
The first of these, catalogued NSY004, is a two track voyage through an epic galaxy of futuristic hip hop and breakbeat. ‘Martyrs’ is breath-snatchingly deep with spaced out samples that bounce off into the ether as the track gradually builds and develops to an epic conclusion. The flip – ‘Population Me’ – is a warm and twisting future hip hop head nodder which features the rythmic poetry of US lyricist Selfsays.
Thankfully Silent Dust are not the types to employ generic production tricks to pull you in – Their compositions have a tempered style and graceful execution that will have your head moving before you even know it yourself. No jarring drops or maximised-to-the-limit repetitive drum programming here, thankyou. Subtlety is key. They skilfully tease your ears until you are ready for the climax, which never fails to satisfy. And there is more to come; Keep your eyes on Robot Bodypop for further releases!
If you are looking for some cheap and cheerful guaranteed entertainment on the 1st of September Joshua Brooks plays host to the first birthday party of the only retro gaming/dubstep night in Manchester – BitLord. Preceded by a tournament of classic arcade games, headline DJ’s on the night include the excellent Sleeper (Chestplate), Rob Sparx (Z Audio), Mrs Jynx (Planet Mu) and Eden Zoo (Boka). The undercard isn’t to be sniffed at either featuring one of our favourite local DJ/Producers Metrodome and his MC Black Josh. With drinks promotions on the night, the only thing at stake here is your gaming pride – So you’d better get practising them hadoukens!
In just a week’s time, Circus are coming through with a great opportunity to see out an eclectic summer with some solid club vibes from four big name international house DJ’s right here in the nation’s capital. I mean London.
Liverpool’s Yousef, Chile’s lady of the dance Dinky and Dutchman Matt Styles all lay it down at The Egg from 11 til 7am.
As they’ve had a recent refurb the atmosphere should be tip top with great music guaranteed – If you like your house and you are out in London next weekend you would be foolish to miss out on this spectacular event.

One year since it’s immaculate conception, Robot Bodypop pull out all the stops to bring you a fitting celebration to end a great first year of podcasting. We have been very lucky to host and interview some amazing acts in our ongoing Transmit mix series and we hope to build on that into 2013. We are massively appreciative of our listeners, friends, relatives, producers, artists, labels and promoters that have helped and supported us along the way. To show how humble we are, we have stitched together an hour long back to back mix of some of our keenest selections to date for free download. Check the First Annuary Podcast feature below.
As for the show itself, 1nejack opens on the deep and emotional side of things with artists like Purity Ring, Maribou and 123MRK all gracing the playlist. Killian comes in a dutty dancefloor style – Major Lazer, Strategy and eccentric reggae don Lee Scratch Perry get a good rotation in his half of the show, but that’s not before we bring out this fortnight’s Survivor. Clear out your ears, open your mind and enjoy.
