Armada

Jestah - Armada

We’re very excited to welcome Jon Tho’s soul-stirring sounds to our catalogue this Summer! The Portuguese producer is also the brain behind Surveillance Music - an imprint that has been releasing its own unique brand of emotionally charged-come-tech-heavy sonics since 2019. While he initially cut his teeth under a different moniker, since launching Jon Tho in 2020, he’s achieved releases on Galacy, Blackout, Elevate and of course Surveillance.

The playfully titled ‘Don’t Want To Know’ unfolds with unsettling pads, twinkling synths, and a driving rhythm thanks to its pumping bassline. These elements are further complemented by warped vocal samples and gliding sweeps that litter the arrangement, resulting in a heart-wrenching piece which is suited for headphones and dancefloors alike. 

On the slightly more joyfully-named ‘Smile’ Jon teams up with one half of rising duo Circumference, in the form of Freshney. Together they deliver more thumping rhythms, in a track filled to the brim with bulging bass, emotive piano chords and powerful momentum. The imaginative structuring helps build tension, culminating in an expansive soundscape, dense with harmonic twinkles that are sure to bring a grin to your 
face this year. 

On August 5th 2022, we are pleased to bring you music from a country that should also be known for its upcoming drum and bass scene, and will have you asking - “Yeah but, have you heard of Jon Tho?!”

Good Times

Bournemouth-based beatmaker Vektah continues to make weighty waves at the forefront of the Soulvent roster in 2022. Since releasing his debut 4-track ‘Culture Shift’ EP in 2021, featuring the breakout hit ‘Request’, he has been featured on a number of Soulvent compilation projects.  These include multiple batches of ‘Tonics’ EPs and the stand-out ‘Soulvent Meets Hospital’ remix project, remixing the mighty Fred V while receiving the equivalent treatment from Whiney. This time around the budding producer has leveraged his network to invite a number of noteworthy collaborators to help him deliver yet another accomplished body of work in the form of the ‘Echo Mode’ EP. 

EP Title track ‘Echo Mode (feat. PAV4N & T-Man)’ opens with ominous hats and a high pitched synth. Manchester mic-wielder T-Man leaves you under no illusion over what is to come. This incredibly energetic track first drop sees PAV4N sit atop a surgically crafted jungle break, complete with a signature Vektah bassline.

‘Pocket Rocket’ lifts off with a spacey arpeggio before launching into hyperdrive at the drop - with a bassline to command the attention of almost any dancefloor. You would be forgiven for thinking that a phone is ringing at times during this track - it’s probably a friend wanting to tell you about Vektah’s new EP.

On the penultimate track, Vektah enlists the aid of the mighty Levela to deliver down-right dastardly basswork on ‘Lockdown the Streets’. Both producers’ influences are evident with a vocal sample reminiscent of Vektah’s ‘Every Time’ and a gutteral bassline akin to Levela’s ‘Gasp’, resulting in a track that could keep the streets empty for weeks.

Finally, the aptly-named ‘Spectral’ conjures all manner of mental images with its introspective intro. As each drop hits, Vektah leaves no stone unturned with the percussive elements of the track. The strange, swelling bassline provides the perfect counter-weight to the soaring synth lines.

Let this release reverberate around your collection, landing in all good stores on 2nd September.

The Koi Series 005 - ADUKEN

Digital Goon appears as his own techy d&b doppelgänger Vince Grain. A man unafraid to mince breaks, “Roswell Eyewitness” is a strung-out paranoia-stepper focused hard on tech-tight percussion and minimal beats. With barely a melody other than disconcertingly calm atmospherics, it'll creep under your skin through the speakers.

This ice-cold minimal workout has appeared in the record bags of Amoss, Dexta (Diffrent Music), Philth, Hyroglifics and DJ Concrete, to name but a few!

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

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.
