AutomAte - Present & Future

Releases

https://soundcloud.com/wrecklessdnb and label boss https://soundcloud.com/deficitlondon have a rich history of collaboration but this is the first time Wreckless has remixed one of his.  Predictably, he knocked it out of the ballpark, taking the half-time, spaced-out Sherlock Holmes inspired weirdness of Eternum, originally released on sister label AutomAte Deep, and moulding it into a chunky head-nodding stepper.

On the flipside, Deficit unleashes a chunky, surly slice of pent-up aggression.  Smoke & Mirrors fidgety, anxious build-up gives way to weighty core elements combined with skittish, shuffling metalwork and cerebral FX that fade in and out of focus as we carefully tread our path through this unfamiliar jungle.

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.

Wreckless - Hard Light (Deficit Remix) - Out now on AutomAte!

Music is Alchemy; the pursuit of a goal realised by decanting a plethora of baser elements into an experimental melting pot, with the finished article being far more valuable than the sum of its parts.

Deficit & Wreckless - Alchemy - Out now on AutomAte!

Involved with electronic music since the mid 90s, Cambridge duo None Decay have behind them a rich tapestry of studio and DJ experience in drum & bass, hip-hop and beyond.  They made their AutomAte debut on Depth of Vision EP Vol.2.  Rising quickly through the ranks, their first full-length artist EP on the imprint garnered attention from high-ranking drum & bass officials such as Goldie and Ulterior Motive.

This, their second solo artist EP for AutomAte, is a diverse quiver of vibes.  Opening track Ribs sets the scene with a relaxed, classic break, warm sub and floating, spacious synth.  Next comes Mano Dura, on which label boss Deficit’s tightly-coiled, ever-switching drums are combined with a trademark None Decay alien bassline to form a tough, aggressive weapon aimed at the harder floors.

Next up, Low Lights truly embodies the None Decay spirit – laid back, slightly tongue-in-cheek but nonetheless perfectly executed with accomplished delegate of lyrical culture Inja effortlessly delivering the goods on the mic.  Finally, things take a turn toward the shadows with the dark, grumpy Last Of Us.

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.
