Meet Kiwi artist http://soundcloud.com/dnbtonic , AutomAte Deep’s latest recruit follows the label’s tradition of reaching to all corners of the globe, leaving no stone unturned in the quest for deep, thought-provoking drum & bass.  

Latitude weaves a haunting, ethereal atmosphere from psychedelic stabs and cranial melodic elements.  A crisply-imagined drum beat moves the experience forward at its own pace through an underground cave system, many miles from civilisation.

Prime Number picks up the pace a little with a busier rhythm section whilst retaining this release’s laid-back feel with a thoughtful, cerebral vibe.

Coming up to 20 years in the making, Tonic is still rolling stronger than ever. Pulling together the best elements of Progressive, Trance, Psychedelic, Ambient, Minimal and Dubstep. Then combining them within the DnB genre forms what is unmistakably Tonic. There has been a brief hiatus from studio life over the last few years but a few good things are brewing, 2 new albums to be precise and it’s some of his best work yet. These go on top of an already solid foundation of tunes with releases on AutomAte Deep, Modular Carnage Recordings and UnderNoize to name a few.

Going under the guise of Fourtechs there have been a few bits and pieces coming out of the shadows in the 4x4 domain. Fourtechs started primarily in the progressive domain and has, well progressed from there, from trance to breaks to techno. Someone went snap a while back, lets just say there is some fairly dark techno about to rear its ugly head.

Tonic is hitting the live DJ front after about 9 years in remission, so keep an eye on this. A complete over haul on the tune front then as well, any listener will be able to confirm Tonic has a refined selection of tunes that’s sure to put a smile on any true enthusiasts face.

Tonic’s internet based show, Deaf Fears Radio, has been rolling since mid 2015 and has some very exciting developments set to happen in the very near future.

AutomAte is a collective formed of:
Deficit (London)
Esion (Bristol)
DX Machina (Bristol)
Nathan E (London)

We share a mutual love of dark, techy drum & bass, although we are involved with a range of other bass-led genres. We DJ and write music individually and together. We run the AutomAte family of digital labels, including AutomAte, AutomAte Deep and AutomAte Tech. AutomAte aims to bring you the best in edgy drum & bass, aimed square at the dancefloor, from rising stars to established artists, from chunky steppers to dark rollers and all manner of other fancy-ticklers. The parent label has already chalked up Radio 1 airplay from Friction, support from Drum & Bass Arena and has caught the attention of more DJs than you could shake a stick-insect at.

The Deep label aims to put the warmth back into drum & bass with a range of deep, eclectic, inspirational music, influenced by anything from the Far East to South America and everything in between. AutomAte Deep was launched in 2013 and has already picked up Radio 1 airplay from Nihal plus support from Raiden, EBK, Morphy, The Untouchables, Mental Forces, J Robinson, Ortokore, Philth, Stunna, Marukomu, Dexta & Mauoq (Diffrent Music).

The Tech label showcases a variety of gritty drum & bass music, from amen tracks and heavy-steppers to neuro and hardcore styles. We like it grimy with a slight attitude problem and an infectious groove. Supporters include DJ Hype, Bailey, Kenny Ken, Dose, Raiden, Nu:Tone, Cause4Concern, EBK, June Miller, Inside Info, Gremlinz, Stranjah, Chris Su, Zero-T, Nyx, Amoss, NC-17, Fade, The Risky (Drum & Bass Arena), Billion (Fathom Audio), Arclight, John Rolodex, Phil Hustle, Hyroglifics, Neve, Concrete, Bad Education, Cursa, AbleDanger, Soul Sinners and more.
