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.

Nyctophilia – a preference for the night or darkness; an ironic title for a tune so lush and light on its feet.  Sure, the bass is as dense as the Bavarian forest, with an über-stereo grind that circles relentlessly like our own personal mini-Hindenburg but it’s the beautiful licks of the Japanese Koto that take centre-stage here.  Absolutely sublime.

http://soundcloud.com/ewokdj found drum & bass and jungle in 2005, drawn to the futuristic sounds of Pendulum, Noisia, Calyx & Illskillz.  Feeling the call, he made a start on his vinyl collection and organised a series of legendary free parties in the South East.

4 years ago he dipped his toe into the world of production and is now on a mission to recreate the sci-fi soundscapes he found so inspiring to begin with.

You can catch Ewok live in the South East regularly, especially in Brighton.  This podcast mix represents his club style, flicking effortlessly through many styles of drum & bass.

AutomAte joined forces with Sample Genie in the search for the finest up & coming talent to remix Vince Grain’s strung-out paranoia-stepper Roswell Eyewitness.  The winning entries, released here, were hand-picked by an all-star line-up of judges, including Amoss, Hybris, FD, Stealth, Rido, Mikal, Maztek, Quadrant, Prolix, Inside Info & Krust!

German duo http://soundcloud.com/immersionofficial & http://soundcloud.com/cyphermusic come with a sonically more laidback opinion on the matter.  An effortless wave of immense sub pressure underwrites a cleverly-constructed sea of atmospherics that seeps perfectly into the cracks of the snappy, motive rhythm.

Don't forget to check out the original track here!

Meet Kiwi artist http://soundcloud.com/dnbtonic , AutomAte Deep’s latest recruit follows the label’s tradition of reaching to all corners of the globe, leaving no stone unturned in the quest for deep, thought-provoking drum & bass.

Latitude weaves a haunting, ethereal atmosphere from psychedelic stabs and cranial melodic elements.  A crisply-imagined drum beat moves the experience forward at its own pace through an underground cave system, many miles from civilisation.

Prime Number picks up the pace a little with a busier rhythm section whilst retaining this release’s laid-back feel with a thoughtful, cerebral vibe.

Tonic - Latitude - AM8D008 - Out Now!

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.

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

UK based collective http://soundcloud.com/d-r-o-p-s made their AutomAte debut on the Depth of Vision EP Volumes 1 & 2 with a pair of laid-back rollers. Rising through the ranks, they follow up here with a solo single aimed square at the dancefloor.

Too Much is one of those core, quintessential things that every DnB DJ needs in their arsenal – a dirty roller!  A relentlessly pulsing, throbbing bassline driven by a weighty, running drum beat, simply designed to shift the dance up a gear.  Why won’t my damn feet stay still?

Halloween 2015 we were proud to present http://soundcloud.com/philth 's Bristol debut!  Serious 3-deck action ably accompanied by our resident zombie http://soundcloud.com/agman-gora

Philth & Agman Gora - AutomAte Halloween 2015 (Live @ Black Swan, Bristol)

The Depth Of Vision EP series has thus far offered an incisive look through the http://soundcloud.com/automate-dnb vaults at some of their exceptional breakthrough artists.  This latest chapter aims to showcase two sides of a stylistic coin, placing old-school vibe-led pieces directly alongside punchy modern productions, demonstrating that it takes all sorts to feed a healthy scene.

http://soundcloud.com/phonograph opens the EP with New Horizon: a thoroughly modern, hard-hitting, swaggering masterclass in groove and grunt.  The killer combination of funk and weight will win this track a place in many a record bag.

http://soundcloud.com/ewokdj may not have been seen in public since AM8E006 but has been working solidly with the AutomAte crew behind the scenes.  Heavy Armour delivers a compatible vibe with his previous solo efforts for the label, rescued from deep in the techy, dark traditions of old school DnB.

http://soundcloud.com/sl8r-dnb ’s offering Conflict is a more contemporary, head-nodding, foot-tapping groove.  Equally at home on the headphones or in the dance, there is a spring in its step that belies its simplicity.

Hungarian newcomer http://soundcloud.com/them3chanikal draws this chapter to a close with a light & energetic techy roller.  Back Of Beyond offers plenty of pace and, rather than an ending, leaves the series feeling wide open for the next instalment.

As Halloween approaches again we cast our minds back a year to this earth shattering set from http://soundcloud.com/offkeymusic soldier http://soundcloud.com/raiden , ably accompanied by our resident zombie http://soundcloud.com/agman-gora

Raiden & Agman Gora - AutomAte Halloween 2015 (Live @ Black Swan, Bristol)

‘The Frog' unites Fuj & Cirrus for a snapping, driving underground anthem which lets you know exactly what these artists are about. Lumbering but never once losing impact, it's littered with nastily distorted LFO and grinding beat patterns. Not for the faint hearted, Fuj & Cirrus don't disappoint. Cirrus comes next with ‘Ether', again bringing the edgier, grunting sounds present throughout its predecessor, while utilising vocal samples to take you through the drops. The pace is then increased, switching between layers and giving no hope of pulling yourself out of its construction line of snipping drums and lasers.

Fuj offers up next, with climatic, quaking sub bass and smashing kick throughout ‘Gun of a Son'. Its percussion and crashing breaks are intimidating, killing any commercial vibes in the vicinity. Rounding off the EP is ‘Aphotic Zone'; Cirrus jumps on remix duties for Fuj this time, once again integrating their production might and creating a towering concoction of creepy atmospherics and wavering voice notes.

Fuj and Cirrus are not to be underestimated. Between them they're invading the underground and moving towards the big leagues.

Deficit - AutomAte Halloween 2015 (Live @ Black Swan)

Amoss, a producer/DJ duo from Herefordshire, England. Having met in High School, James and Andy wrote and performed music in bands before discovering electronic music, specifically Drum &amp; Bass. 

With their debut release 'Glurg monster' in 2010 on Cyclone Recordings the duo jumped onto the scene in style. Since then they have now moved up the ranks releasing on Renegade Hardware with their track 'Flex' on the Inception EP and most recently teaming up with the Horsemen on the Horsementality LP. They are currently the driving force towards Kent based label Horizons Music with whom they have already released 2 singles and their highly acclaimed 'The Spectrum EP' with many more waiting in the wings for 2012.

Taking inspiration from across the board of Drum &amp; Bass, their style varies through gritty, hard hitting beats and distorted basslines to deep, technical and experimental sound design. 

Support from Spectrasoul, Doc Scott, Ant TC1, Ulterior Motive, Need For Mirrors, the list goes on. Enjoy ;)

AutomAte Podcast 019 - Amoss

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.

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.
