Deco and Mesck team up to present their latest collaborative single on Deceast and their third release together in 2013. “Transit Method” is a fast-paced, percussion-driven slice of futuristic tribalism replete with sci-fi samples, moody synths and syncopated drum programming. The crisp production showcases some of the duo’s best engineering work to date and has resulted in this track always getting a great response when played on a proper club sound system.

On the flip, “Slated” continues with the tribal aesthetic albeit in more of a mellow manner. Subtle female vocals give this song a human touch and the melodic elements bring plenty of musicality to this song’s sonic pallette. The percussion and sub bass play off one another to create momentum and the production quality perfectly suits being paired up with the A side of this release.

With “Transit Method” / “Slated”, Deco and Mesck continue their fruitful artistic collaboration that once again spans mediums as both had a hand in crafting the music and the cover art for this release. Keep your eyes and ears open for more from this pair of producers as they each ready big solo releases for later in 2013.

Edgewoode returns to Deceast for his second single on the label with two tracks of funked-out, 808-laden bass music. “Me x You” opens with sparse percussion and soft synth pads before the bass hits and a masterfully melodic lead takes over. Tastefully programmed 808 drums anchor the progression, with just enough hi-hat and snare workouts to fully represent Edgewoode’s hometown Atlanta influence. 

“Ride or Die” brings a decidedly dirty south vibe with its razor-sharp horn stabs, booming 808 bass and skittering drums. Once again, Edgewoode’s music chops are on full display with another great, funky synth lead. This song easily fits in alongside a wide array of likeminded music: “Ride or Die” could be a lost instrumental from Outkast’s Aquemini sessions, a production by Dr Dre’s latest protege, or the other half of a split single featuring Joker on the A side.

Both of these are well suited for the headphones, the club, and especially the ride. We hope you enjoy the music and can’t wait to share more from Edgewoode in 2013.

About Edgewoode 
Edgewoode is a new music project from Anthony Rotella, a producer and DJ well-known for his longtime contributions to both drum & bass and dubstep under his Mayhem moniker. As one of the longest-running American bass music artists, Anthony has a long list of achievements as Mayhem. He’s released music on marquee labels like Ram Records and Human Imprint, played a crucial role in establishing forward-thinking music scenes in his native Atlanta and across the United States, and collaborated with highly respected artists like Noisia and Phace. 

Anthony has established Edgewoode as an outlet for his music that isn’t defined by the aggressive, dancefloor-oriented mindset he’s known for as Mayhem. This is the second outing of his Edgewoode persona on Deceast and we’re looking forward to helping him diversify as an artist through this new project.

The Across The Grain EP is Deco’s first solo release of 2013 and features four tracks of bass-focused music that incorporate a variety of styles and influences. The title track is a deep, rolling excercise in blending heavy amounts of sub-bass with a techno sound palette. “True Renegades” pays homage to the outsiders who stand their artistic ground in the face of commercial temptations with more techno influences and programming reminiscent of the early autonomic sound of Instra:Mental and D-Bridge.

“Consciousness Dub” changes things up with a strictly dub reggae vibe drowning in delay and reverb. Rich horns and sparse vocals take over the spotlight as the song progresses through a smoke-hazed breakdown and onward towards the outro. Finally, “Polymorphism” steps the energy up in a considerable way with 23rd-century mid-range synths and frenetic percussion spiked with classic drum break vocal intonations.

The Across The Grain EP is a solid representation of the past influences and current styles that Deco draws from. If you like what you hear, keep your ears open for more music from Deco in 2013.

The next single on Deceast is a two song pairing from Warsa, a new artist on our roster and a name you’ll be hearing more from soon. Leading the pack is “Terminal 502”, a skillful blend of strictly dub influences with the deeper, darker side of dubstep. A wide palette of Reggae-rooted percussion adds extra momentum while the melodic elements reinforce the laid-back mood. This song would be right at home in DJ sets bracketed by music from artists like Kryptic Minds, Biome and J:Kenzo.

On the flip, “Recon” slows things down a bit and goes in more of a dark and minimal direction. Sparse percussion and mammoth sub bass dominate the soundscape while brooding atmospherics and subtle midrange synths add depth & character. For those that like their dubstep truly deep, “Recon” should fit right in to your playlists.

This is some of the first Warsa music seeing release and we’re looking forward to sharing more with you soon.
