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 and the second followed on its heels.

Taurine EP is a diverse quiver of old-school vibes, demonstrating their mastery of the craft over many years, perhaps these are the pieces they would have created early in their careers and now have the expertise to execute to their own very high standards.

Opening track Taurine sets the scene with a relaxed, classic breaks approach, warm sub and floating, spacious synths.  Next comes 12 Monkeys, a rolling head-nodder that takes us all back to before neuro was neuro.  Next up, Playing features a beautifully close, intimate vocal performance from Hazy Jane, backed with stripped-back beats and ominous vibe.  Finally, we fall over the edge into the clattering breaks and grumpy basses of Domestic.

Duncan and Ollie met back in 1995 in Boom Tunes records in Cambridge, and became instant friends with a common passion for Drum and Bass. DJing in and around Cambridge, and working in a few different studios in the 90s, they decided to work on different projects. In 2010 they hooked back up in the studio for the None Decay project, and started None Decay Music as a platform for their style. Gathering support from other labels, and DJs such as Goldie, Ulterior Motive,Mikal,  Doc Scott, Dexta, Mauoq, Fuj, Kai, Storm, Gremlinz, Xtrah, Rido, Hyroglifics, Need for mirrors, Friske, Dawn Raid, Philth, Billion, Mat Alignment, Deficit, Barrington and AnnGree, they approach their music with a certain seriousness, and have plans to be around for a long while yet.

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.
