AutomAte - Present & Future

This release aims to make a statement and that’s certainly what it achieves.  Having spent most of 2017 collecting their resources and poring over an array of music, AutomAte chose their next new artist with the utmost precision.  Newcomer Oxius is one of the most exciting producers to break through to AutomAte and on first listen it’s obvious why.  Each cut delivered on this double-sided single gives a glimpse into the style he’s spent years creating in the shadows, taking the time to perfect his craft whilst also drawing inspiration from live sets he witnessed over that period.  His energy can be seen clearly through each expertly produced groove.  Beginning with ‘Nexus 6’ and channelling through to ‘Atom Heart’, Oxius’ signature is marked throughout.  This is seldom attributed to upcoming producers however Oxius has made this stand from the outset. 

‘Nexus 6’ rolls in with an instantly recognisable vocal sample and bellows into submission with cracking kick drums which manifest a deep rumbling across speakers.  As it breaks, Oxius dives for the pressure point with fluctuating sonics and vast waves of metallic bass.  Segment by segment, bar by bar, you’re drawn into the ruthless imaginings of ‘Nexus 6’, proving that despite coming from relative obscurity, this man knows what he is doing.

‘Atom Heart’ follows a similar quick-stepping demeanour, this time gurgling into life with heavyweight bass pads and spookily ticking percussion.   Then suddenly, crushing LFO steps into play, before drawing you into a minimalistic riddim which chops and changes in its ambiance.   Oxius proves that not only can he create a track that is instantly powerful but also impactful through growing subtlety.   This is why such artists do so well within the current climate.  They continue to push forward, always opening new ground for themselves and proving their versatility.   With the backing of imprints such as AutomAte, this is something which will surely grow as his career progresses.

Philth is addicted to music; it is his breath and his lifeblood, a more driven man you will not find. His heady mix of distorted filth & saturated breakbeats is the fuel behind a meteoric rise, turning the heads of the scene’s top DJs and talent spotters.  Paired here with regular cohorts, AutomAte’s resident zombie wordsmith Agman Gora and long-time partner Wreckless, this trio of nuclear cuts is aimed directly at the techy dancefloors.

Submarine has already left a trail of destruction in its wake, running deep beneath the surface of a monstrous throbbing body of bass. This steppin’ VIP of the stripped-back, essential roller is set to become a firm favourite of the AutomAte catalogue all over again.

The Hammer brings us back to dry land and delivers an altogether more highly-strung vibe as Philth & Wreckless take their signature sound up to 11 with pounding bass, relentless running breaks and crashing metallics.

Finally, another second hotly awaited remix, Cordyceps VIP, rounds off the release - driving Agman’s commanding vocal chant deeper into your brain, embedded on wave after wave of bassline pressure and rapid percussion.

Hollow World - Press Release:

FIREPOWER RECORDS TO RELEASE TRUTH’S INCREDIBLE 14-TRACK ALBUM “HOLLOW WORLD” JUNE 10

"We titled this album "Hollow World" to reflect the concept that our lives are full of illusion. The world as we know it has been constructed of facades by those in power. The "hollow" concept relates to a world, a life, that has no real meaning to it. The question is, what is behind this hollow exterior? The Truth is out there...."
-Truth

Legendary duo Truth, exhibit their full musical versatility and mastery on their delicious new 14-track album, "Hollow World", available June 10th on Firepower Records. The infamous New Zealanders Andre Fernandez and Tristan Roake, aka Truth, have been championed as leaders in the scene years ago, with their one of a kind production and DJ sets which have massed them worldwide praise throughout the process. Now, again revealing their hard work and overwhelming creativity, they have forged a top notch album that fires from smooth dark deep house to malevolent bass-bin flexing dubstep, all sinister enough to make even fairy-tales feel like your darkest dreams. Their earth shattering creation truly shows us that light does not necessarily triumph evil, although they have plenty of both sounds on this amazing collection of their musical art.

"The album is a story--it has a cinematic feel. Our aim was to create a suspended reality, so the listeners felt like they were in another world, or even dimension. The music grabs you and drags you into the strange, murky depths of the world of Truth. "
 
"Hollow World", the title track, is packed with vibes, and enough emotional intensity and angst to leave you feeling like a maniac, free falling without a parachute. From there, we land on "Madman", featuring vocals from the notorious UK rapper Flowdan, who reveals to us why he's a king, as he drops murder on the track like a calculated psycho with his finger on the trigger. 

"Working with people like Flowdan has been a long time coming. It was 9 or 10 months ago at Outlook festival when we first connected and came up with the idea of collaborating, and finally here it is! We couldn't be more stoked with the result. Linking up with Joker was a happy coincidence, both members of Truth on tour and in San Francisco when Joker rolled through town and ended up crashing at our mate Taso's pad. Naturally we got in the studio and just smashed the track out."

"Evil Eye" was the incredible result. Truth and Joker to add some of that purple flavour that we have all come to love and respect.  Tracks like "London" and "Skin Flick" drop four to the floor, and truly exhibit Truth's versatility with their own dark hybrid take on deep house.

"We've put everything that is Truth into this album, and it feels great! To us, this is our best release to date. The whole point was to carry the aesthetic of what we do into one cohesive whole, which is why we decided to break out from just doing stuff around 140bpm. It's more than any genre, there's a Truth sound, which we are pushing."

 It's clear that, no matter who's tuning in, the album "Hollow World" is guaranteed to strike true. Truth's amazing musicianship and quality production capabilities are put on full display, and will take your ears on an aural roller coaster through the amazing deep depths of low frequency euphoria. Be honest with yourself and recognize the Truth."

And now for something completely different. Faces of Def is a new project featuring drum and bass stalwart and Planet Human don Dieselboy and new producer Mark the Beast. Their music was recently featured in Dieselboy's brand new mix "The Destroyer" and exhibits a fresh and unique sound that is unlike anything else in the bass scene today. Their music pulls its influences from across the EDM spectrum and flexes them in the context of a thrilling 175 beats per minute. In a word - BANGING. "Blvck Celebration", their first official release, sees them teaming up with the heavyweight DNB Counterstrike crew to produce a BIG room, BIG bassline track that sounds like a piledriver on steroids. Pounding. Crushing. Brand fucking new. Future music for the futuristic DJ. 

Don't sleep.

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.
