 FEATURED RELEASE 
 
 MORE DUBSTEP ESSENTIALS 
 
Album released 04-04-2011 on Warp Records
Even after releasing five albums, Warp Records artist Bibio still has quite a lot to say when it comes to expressing his expansive sonic vision. In his sixth complete full-length, 'Mind Bokeh', Bibio wears many different hats shifting into personas varying from folky to funky and drenching every moment in blissful haze.
EP released 04-04-2011 on Rush Hour
zero" podcast #023 artist, CosminTRG, has delivered a series of highlight releases on Hemlock, Tempa and 50Weapons, developing his own unique strain of bombastic, bass-infused house and techno. Follow his latest exploits here in this essential 4-tracker for Rush Hour's Direct Current series.
EP released 05-04-2011 on Sounding Functions
Vienna's Martin Stepanek (of Cheap Records and Rondy 550 fame) lays out his blueprint for abstract dubstep on his brand-new Sounding Functions imprint. From 'Introspective's harmonic drones to the sparse, wobble bass meets electronica vibe of 'Skeleton Dub' this is a unique trip. zero" exclusive!
EP released 29-03-2011 on LuckyMe
Montreal-based Jacques Greene appears again on LuckyMe with a new track 'Another Girl' a slick honeyed-up r'n'b haze, a bangin' Braiden remix of 'Holdin' On' and a round of brill reworks of 'The Look' including a surprise from UR's Mark Flash, alongside NYC's Machinedrum and Glasgow's Koreless.
EP released 04-04-2011 on Civil Music
Parisian beat-smith Débruit lets another EP loose on London's Civil Music, this time strongly influenced by Turkish music and instruments, he fuses his synth-funk broken beat style brilliantly with these exotic flavours. Successfully oozing Eastern mystique with extremely danceable results.
Koreless - 4d
Maxi-Single released 21-03-2011 on Pictures Music
Absolutely stunning debut of Glasgow's Koreless, who single-handedly changes the rules of the game like only a (we guess) producer in his early 20s dares to. Two super-minimalistic pop-step tracks with touching vocals and sparse grooves - think James Blake, but with a more funky, upbeat twist. Great.
Maxi-Single released 21-03-2011 on Tempa
Digital Mystikz's Coki takes the bass wobble to the midrange with two killer cuts for Tempa. 'Boomba' brings the spinet out of storage while dropping ton-heavy beats on us, and 'Carbon Aliens' is a phased-out acid-stepper, sparsely instrumented, yet decidedly deadly. Fine work, once again.
Maxi-Single released 01-04-2011 on 50 Weapons
50 Weapons presents its third round of split singles, this time an all-German effort. Anstam's 'Albert' is a tightly toned work of kinetic beat action to blow your hair away, while Phon.o's cut is equally menacing with trippy drones growing around razored beats. Sturdy bass explorations!
Maxi-Single released 28-03-2011 on Tectonic
Tectonic boss Pinch collaborates with fellow UK heavyweights Loefah and Roska respectively for this latest single. 'Broken' is a broody stepper with a spine-chilling bassline and Loefah's epic beats while the Roska cut has his conga rolls working killer over the dusky, dread-soaked atmosphere. Top release.
Maxi-Single released 04-04-2011 on Shogun Audio
Brighton's SpectraSoul tune into the 'minimal drum & bass' sound with 'Lost Disciple', pitting heavily processed, Mount Kimbie style vocals against a staccato beat that alludes to d'n'b in short outbursts of drum rolls. Comes backed by a classic d'n'b piece, the fittingly titled 'Reminiscence'.
