Hard dnb, Crossover

AutomAte Tech - Present & Future

Disphonia are a Greek based production/dj duo formed by Kostas Nomikos and George Roubinis.

They have had releases on SOM Music, Mindtech Recordings, Dutty Audio, Full Force Recordings, M-Atome, Trust in Music and Platform Music. The duo currently have music forthcoming on Eatbrain, SOM Music, Rise Audio, Citrus Recordings and Dephrecords.

Back in 2006 they discovered that they both share the same genuine passion for drum and bass and have a mutual love for creating tech-influenced sounds, raw and gritty basslines and deep soundscapes. Their main aim since then has been to produce an ever-excelling output of fresh material.
 
They were part of the Funxion Crew (a local event promoting and DJ collective) that played a key role in presenting some of the most established d&b acts to the Athens scene. During the past ten years Disphonia have performed with artists such as Noisia, Gridlok, Black Sun Empire, Calyx & Teebee, Icicle, Nymfo, Mindscape and Mefjus.  

2011 saw their debut release 'November' on Mindtech Recording's 'No Future' LP, which sparked immediate interest on the scene closely followed by a further release - '1987 Demons /Time Machine' feat. Camelorg - in conjunction with the acclaimed French duo, Kantyze, on Berlin's finest d&b label Trust In Music. The 12" vinyl single reached No.1 in sales, within the first week of its release, on Juno Records' store.

In 2012 Disphonia released their second solo work 'Collapsed' on the French label M-Atome which had widespread success and was supported by numerous DJs like Dose and State of Mind, which well and truly put them on the d&b map. 'Collapsed' is currently the label's best selling release on Beatport. The track's infectious bass-lines and driving breaks were fortified in a menacing remix by Zero Method, released on Citrus Recordings. 

Disphonia's successful collaboration with Kantyze continued with a new funk-fueled tune called 'Zig Zag' released on Trust In Music. 'Headfirst' (a solo effort from the duo) came soon after and was picked up by the prolific SOM Music imprint and was featured in State of Mind's Next Level podcast.

2013 found them with many shows around Europe, including Renegade Hardware in London, whilst they had the chance to work with Dementia and Rregula on a track entitled 'Hightimes' released on Full Force Recordings which recieved great DJ support and was featured in the top 20 d&b tracks on Track It Down. The duo also tested their skills at a different tempo, producing a raucous dubstep track named "Envious Eyes", as part of a 4 track EP for the new promising Bulgarian outlet Platform Music. This release reached the #1 spot on Juno's deep dubstep chart. 

Their most recent release 'Stateside' is a heavy-duty collaboration with Dose which has just been released on Dutty Audio. A militant solo effort called 'Warbunker' is forthcoming on Eatbrain and is due out towards the end of the year. The duo also have a collaboration with fellow Greek based producer Camelorg forthcoming on SOM Music which is called 'Commit'. 

Having plenty of collaborations, remixes and solo work in the pipeline, they are going from strength to strength and the bar is constantly being set higher. The duo are planning on releasing their first solo EP in 2014, keep an eye on their pages for more info!

Sinister Souls - Horns Up LP (PRSPCT LP 006) Out July 14th 2014!

A man of more eclectic tastes than one might imagine, Fortitude has found his space in the dark corner where drum & bass meets hardcore. A resident for Therapy Sessions UK and no stranger to mainland Europe, there’s no denying the dent he’s making in the scene.  Similar damage has been done in the studio, with releases on a slew of well-respected hard-edged labels.

Turn Bad is a cast iron slab of dirty, sweaty techstep, aimed square at the hard-rocking dancefloors atop which Fortitude plies his trade.  Backed with a trademark peak-time headbanging remix from one of New Zealand’s finest exports, Dose working alongside the mysterious Dual Focus.

**COUNTERSTRIKE ** THERAPY SESSIONS PRE PARTY MIX 14.02.15

The Russians are taking over!!! :) Inerpois & Tremors come with this relentless dance floor smasher that continuously builds with all those aggravated hardcore kicks, snares and hooks that we all know and love.

Inerpois & Tremors - Sarcasm Original Mix (Mastered By Mark EG)

http://soundcloud.com/Philth is addicted to music; it is his breath and his lifeblood. A music teacher by day and DJ/producer by night, a more driven man you will not find. The very definition of ‘signature sound’, 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.

As one would expect given the track titles, neither tune beats about the bush.  The menacing, rumbling intro of Destroyer leads directly to philthy overdriven bass rips before dropping into a stomping, claustrophobic rhythm with which even the most nimble of foot will struggle to keep pace.

Genocide presents a slightly friendlier façade for all of 40 seconds before again taking a snarling turn darkwards, this time into a tearing, swaggering stepper. If, as the sample suggests, this is the future of the human race, a stab-proof vest may be a wise investment.

For more information / press pack, contact info@automatednb.co.uk

Supported by Dillinja, Dieselboy, A-Sides, TC, Ray Keith, AK1200, InsideInfo, Stealth, The Sect, Jade, State Of Mind, Basher, Xanadu, DJ E, CZA, Savage Rehab, Mista Noize, Square..... the list goes on.  And on.  This release is getting absolutely battered!

Destroyer / Genocide

Philth - Destroyer - AM8T009 - Out Now!

The hasty, pressured vocal snippets of Trojan wind up the tension before storming out of the gate accompanied by tight beats, antagonistic bass slabs and boundless energy. This is one part glitch, one part neuro and one part mechanical stepper; there’s a dank, malevolent force at work here but somehow not taken too seriously.

Trojan / Coriolis

Seppa - Trojan - AM8T010 - Out Now

Coriolis is upbeat yet laid back, weaving its way through a cave system light-years from home, discovering as it goes a myriad of synthetic elements.  A perfect comparison and contrast with the A-side, this track manifests a similar brain in a very different body.

Seppa - Coriolis  - AM8T010 - Out Now

Inseparable German duo Rune & Kaiza, aka Instinkt, deliver a trademark solo effort backed with a collaboration with fellow countrymen Audio Habitat and hot-right-now MC Kryptomedic.

Kabuki is the more rolling of the two.  A precise, robotic technoid groove bringing to mind an android army marching heads-down into a black hole.  There is no escape from the hypnotic rhythm as we are pulled over the event horizon.

Gasket features a veritable German dream-team with the combined musical talents of Instinkt & Audio Habitat and the vocal prowess of Eatbrain’s MC Kryptomedic.  Snarling basses and full-bodied drums underpin Krypto’s relentless social commentary.
