Depth of Vision began with a clear mission to break new talent, the type that has enabled this independent imprint to push through competition, carve their own niche and build a reputation for developing successful artists.  Vince Grain is among the many artists who have lent their expert sonics to the AutomAte back catalogue, having featured on the very first Depth of Vision EP and flourished since with several solo singles on the label. 

‘Walrus Dreams’ reintroduces us to the sounds of Vince Grain; dark, brooding and heavy yet minimal, dynamic and carefully laid out.  This is a record that cuts through with sniping mechanics, constructed from layers of percussion and drums, slicing into the mix with the utmost precision. If previously unaware of Vince Grain, this is the perfect introduction to his style and a monumental addition to his discography. 

Pulex is up next with ‘Dustwave’, the first of several new artists showcased in this chapter. His previous releases on the likes of Black Inferno Records brought him to the attention of the label and this cut demonstrates the eye that AutomAte have for emerging talent.

Evro follows in quick succession, delivering ‘Space Probe’, which follows the EP’s vibe whilst adding a diversity that doesn’t go unnoticed.  Finally, Dharma Kaya comes with ‘Open’; punching drums wrapped with a crunching bassline administer a bite reminiscent of the old-school whilst nodding to the contemporary world.

The fifth edition of the Depth of Vision series is a fitting tribute to a label going against the grain. Each artist highlighted on the EP pushes this image: unforgiving musical artillery with a no-nonsense approach.

JUNGLIST

GARNER started DJing around 2002 in his hometown of Fremantle, Australia and has been dabbling with drum machines, synths, keyboards, congas, samplers, trumpets, and drums since 1982. He has been obsessed with all forms of music since he was knee-high to a grasshopper. 

From 2002 – 2005, he sunk all of his loot into a fully fledged music studio and produced a bunch of yet to be released music. Look out for that stuff in the near future. The highlight of his studio time was sharing house and working with legendary music producer, Jeremy Allom. From 2002 - 2009, He DJ'd a lot of Nuskool Breaks.

Since relocating to the United States in 2010, he has been obsessed with DJing Drum & Bass whilst still dabbling with production via a series of live remixes, bootlegs, and mashup releases. 

Almost all of GARNER'S SoundCloud releases have accompanying music videos. Check them out here https://www.youtube.com/@garner_tv/videos

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.
