Anthony Batlle aka Hubwar is a south of France based producer who is definitely showing us how useless it is sometimes to look for names to define what can simply be referred to as bass music. Recently joining forces with airflex labs, the fresh mixture of sound he produces is unmistakable, call it techno/baile funk/dubstep/garage or dub, it's all of these at the same time but it's above all his own alchemy.

Long time passionate of fun sports and urban culture, he got into electronic music around Y2K and quickly felt an urge to get involved with the process of doing it. First as a dj and then starting to build his own tunes, he developped a taste for trippy hypnotic and groovy sounds somewhere between ninjatuned atmospheres and the wide influences of black music.

Promoter of the rare bass music nights in his hometown of Beziers, he has also been around for a while as a dj in the south of france.

Since his first dub experiments, Anthony kept on building his maze of sound, a crafty combination of syncopated breakbeats, churning rough synths and deep ambient pads which is likely to remind you of amon tobin's and as skream's . He manages to achieve an interesting balance between deep soundscapes and dancefloor energy.strongly recommended first release on Airflex labs.



Hubwar's debut effort on Airflex Labs grants us with two highly personal and organic rolling stompers.

With a carefully crafted outdoor night atmosphere, backed up with flutes and percussions, 'back from the shadows' is Hubwar's initiation rite into the world of bass music. Shrouded in a tribal atmosphere driven by a syncopated beat and a real heavyweight low end, the rough wobble synths and high pitched chords prompt us to get manic on the dancefloor.... 
In an equally inspired manner, 'Warped mind' starts off on a slightly sadder note reminding us the party has to end but don't be mistaken... That's just until the reggae skanks and vocal samples kick in. The bassline is as heavy and the beat even more relentless, driving the tune to an awesome drop where the main theme is revealed in a rather anthemic style. proper earworm to say the least. 
A surprisingly fresh blend of dancefloor bass music with ethnic, tribal and deep ambiances.

Anthony Batlle aka Hubwar, producteur prolifique et éclairé originaire de béziers récemment venu étoffer le catalogue du label Airflex labs , démontre une fois de plus que l'heure n'est plus à la distinction des styles lorsque l'on parle de bass music.

Passioné de cultures urbaines et de sports de glisse , Il se laisse happer par la vague éléctronique au tout debut du siècle et se decide rapidement à assouvir un besoin visceral de création.



Autodidacte inspiré, il fait ses armes en tant que dj tout en développant son propre son, délibérement envoutant , à la croisée d'influences ninjatune-esques et black music. 
Instigateur des rares soirées bass music au Capharnaüm à Béziers (34), il est également un fervent activiste de la scéne éléctro sudiste (avignon,toulouse, montpellier) depuis quelques années déjà.

Depuis ses premieres expérimentations dub, Hubwar continue à batir un labyrinthe sonore fondé sur une combinaison riche de beats efficaces et de mélopées atmosphériques. Tenant aussi bien d'Amon Tobin que de Skream, il parvient à maintenir l'équilibre entre une musique profonde,aux ambiances élaborées et une énérgie résolument dancefloor. A suivre de près... son premier E.P. 2 titres sortie sur airflex labs ces jours ci...



Ce premier E.P. d'HUBWAR sur AIRFLEX LABS propose une vision plus 'organique' du dubstep. Sur fond de flutes et de percussions, l' ambiance sonore nocturne de Back from the shadows nous plonge au coeur d'un marécage pour un rite initiatique spécial bass music. La rythmique, appuyée par de lourdes impulsions d'infrabasses, met l'accent sur la syncope pendant que les skanks made in dubstyle nous ramène dans le groove et que la wobble rugueuse emmène implacablement la track vers les sonorités les plus agressives du dubstep. Tribal et massif !

D'une manière tout aussi inspirée, 'HubWarped mind' démarre sur une note plus nostalgique... ce n'est que lorsque les guitares reggae et autres samples font leur entrée que l'on comprend de quoi il retourne. Les infrabasses et la wobble aggressive sont toujours au rendez-vous et le beat est toujours plus massif, assurant une assise inébranlable à cette track, mais c'est plutôt le gimmick rave qui s'insinue immédiatement dans l'oreille de l'auditeur qui en fait un morceau taillé pour le dancefloor, un indispensable ! 
Un alliage surprenant de bass music et d'ambiances tribales et atmosphériques.
