Darktide Recordings presents Chik

Karel Průcha aka Chik is a young dubstep producer hailing from the Czech Republic. Producing since 2007, last year saw his debut album ‘Different Sounds‘ released the on Bullet Time label and some of his tracks were on heavy rotation on Rinse.FM. Now with several releases under his belt on Czech labels Elemental, Owntempo and io.lab he is embedding himself in the darker and more sinister dubstep vibe. A selection of free cuts as well as the mighty ‘Vulcanic‘ from Darktide Recordings should be enough to pique every dubstep fans interest. Moody soundscapes coupled with high production values make these a must-have.

Teknian – Isolation EP

One of the hottest new talents surfacing from Sweden, Teknian’s productions are gritty, deep, loud and downright dirty all at once – Yet in amongst the chaos this young Scandinavian’s attention to detail can send chills down your spine. Check out this forthcoming release on Screwloose Records to see what I mean.

We are tipping Teknian for huge things in the near future and with his unique brand of deep distorted dubstep we are keen to see just where he takes it. His first free release, the Isolation EP, is available for free download now courtesy of Martian Bass Records. Bag it or be damned. Download here.

Qualmsound – Genesis EP


Manchester based producer Qualmsound is devleloping a deep and atmospheric signature sound evident on his new release entitled ‘Genesis EP’ out on Soulstep Records. Uplifiting soundscapes with a dolly mixture of synths and heavy subs make this a release not to be slept on. ‘Breath’ harks back to early dubstep vibes while ‘Etheral’ has positive and bright vibes to carry you through. Breath then gets the remix treatment by Blynk. Hearing is believing. Bag it now from Juno Records.

As well as this release there are a couple of choice freebies on Qualmsounds Soundcloud. Be sure to bag them whilst they are still free – quality like this should not be taken for granted!

District – Haymaker/ 3.5 Grams [CHST013]

Newly released on the mighty Chestplate label, Districts latest cut is a monster 12″. Deep bass and a weighty groove make this debut release a must-get. With the creepy and twisted metal sounds of Haymaker on one side and 3.5 Grams on the flip offering a more sparse and darker vibe this is probably my favourite 12″ of the last few months. Big things to come in future from District I’m sure if this is any kind of a taster. Bag it.

RDoubleE aka RDubz – Roots Recordings – Sewn Deep E.P.

I first peeped RDubz’ productions back in late 2009 when I found his debut album Baptism By Electro sitting around on Amazon. This year he’s back as RDoubleE – And the gloves are off! This EP is dark, moody and deep – gone are the sweet electro house vibes that marked his debut. This EP proves his range and ability as a producer.

You want nasty pal? I’ll show you f***ing nasty!!

The EP is out now on Roots Recordings, co-founded by RDubz himself to give up-and-coming artists with genuine talent a shot at releasing their records independently. Sewn Deep is a collaborative effort featuring the innovative talents of heavyweight new producers SeiFer & Surgical, John Maveric, and the enigmatic Pablo. There is no filler on this release, just 100% bangers – Buy Buy Buy!!

Check out the 5 tracks I have spotlighted from the EP in tonight’s Robot Bodypop (14.9.11)

Bag it on Juno now!!
