John Digweed & Nick Muir Vs Ian O'Donovan "Dawnbreaker (King Unique Remix)" Lo Qual Preview

"It's been another stellar year for King Unique with original productions for Bedrock and microCastle along with a very special update on the classic 'Yohkoh' for Sudbeat Music. The King Unique sound has evolved immensely over the last calendar year and his interpretation of 'Walls' is further evidence of that. Backed by a shuffling framework and punchy bass stabs it's expertly layered rhythms carve out a refined and contemporary groove. The main break may the highlight though with its delicate silence broken by dusty chimes and a sneaky re-entry which should provide your dance floor with an exhilarating rush."

Coming soon on Sound Avenue

extended length stream of my Brian Cid "Sharp Objects" remix up on soundcloud. i've had it in mind to do a proper early 90s vibe acid track for years, 909 drum machine, breakbeats & of course 303s. some of the parts in brian's track gently suggested that this is the time.

Javier Portilla & Sotela ft. Emalaine "Your Eyes (King Unique Remix)" Lo Qual Preview

This is one of the standout tracks of Tilt’s ‘Resonator’ album, co-written with founding LFO member Gez Varley. Between my being asked to do the remix & getting started on it the other half of LFO, Mark Bell, died suddenly. I decided to abandon the approach I’d planned for the remix & do something that tried to capture the freedom & limitless psychedelic possibility that dance music had when it first exploded into a multiplicity of new styles in the UK, a moment captured perfectly in time by LFO ‘LFO’. This is how dance music felt to me in the summer of ‘92 lying in a Welsh field at an illegal traveller’s rave

Tilt "30 Hits Of Acid (King Unique Remix)" Lo Qual Preview

The 37th release on microCastle finds the label revisiting King Unique's Beatport #1 release 'Some Break The Shell'. The four track EP released in April of 2014 found the storied UK producer showcasing some of the most diverse and poignant work of this career. Now to kick off 2015 we see four brand new interpretations courtesy of Dubspeeka, Jamie Stevens, Pedram and Petrels.

"Petrels – quite simply a dream come true to have Oli Barrett on this release. Since I heard his otherworldly ‘Concrete’ I’ve been an avid fan of his fierce and beautiful ambient noise-core experiments. He’s taken on ‘Without Boxes’ & recorded surging walls of electronics & dozens upon dozens of takes of cello. It’s like a whole universe in 12 minutes."

The lone interpretation of 'Without Boxes' is provided by Petrels who is making his debut on microCastle. UK producer Oli Barrett debuted his Petrels project in 2011 with the release of 'Haeligewielle' which by year's end found its place in numerous best of the year lists. His unique take on ambient electronica also caught the attention of Max Cooper who had Petrels remix 'Fragments of Self' just over year ago. For his 'Without Boxes' interpretation Petrels has truly outdone himself. Working from the grandiose theme which made the original so captivating the UK producer has crafted a majestic, slow burning epic. It's textural shifts and sparking meditative design makes for an enlightening journey and the slow structural decay which rounds out its third act is a granular delight.

Now to kick off 2015 we see four brand new interpretations courtesy of Dubspeeka, Jamie Stevens, Pedram and Petrels who all have been selected by King Unique himself as his own personal dream team for this project.

One of 2014's most sought after remixers was undoubtedly Dubspeeka. The Bristol based producer is perhaps best known for being one half of the much loved Kosheen project which yielded one of electronic music’s finest ever records in ‘Hide You’. The Dubspeeka production moniker has already amassed an impressive discography with releases on Bedrock, Drumcode, Ideal Audio, Suara and his own Skeleton imprint. For his '7 Hours' interpretation Dubspeeka has stripped the beastly original right down and overhauled it into a romping techno workout. It's tension filled drive is offset with sombre synths and vibrant electronics which pierce the atmosphere with electric flair.

Now to kick off 2015 we see four brand new interpretations courtesy of Dubspeeka, Jamie Stevens, Pedram and Petrels who all have been selected by King Unique himself as his own personal dream team for this project.

"I first encountered Pedram when I used his Park Hill ‘Beres’ track on KU Broadcast 25, a beautiful deep melodic house track. I’ve heard hours of his forthcoming album material since & its staggeringly good. He’s approaching melodic music from a solid house/bass background, sort of a mirror approach to my own of late."

The second and final interpretation of '7 Hours' is provided by Pedram who is making his first appearance on microCastle. The UK based producer has worked under a wide assortment of alias' and has become a favourite of Anja Schneider, Dusky, Paul Woolford, Nic Fanciulli, Midland, Tensnake and many others. A release on James Zabiela's Born Electric remains a discography highlight and he's gotten 2015 off to a great start with a massive interpretation of '7 Hours'. Backed by a warm, round and well carved groove Pedram's vocal edits, epically styled synth work and detailed textures takes the tougher original into blissful, end of the night territory.

"Lastly Natalie & I stripped 7 Hours back to the song that lies underneath all the studio trickery. The ‘No Makeup Mix’ exposes us with just her voice & guitar and me playing a 1976 Eminent Theatre Organ – no sequencers allowed."

Rounding out the release is an acoustic / live treatment of '7 Hours' which showcases the emotive brilliance of the piece at its most exposed.

Now to kick off 2015 we see four brand new interpretations courtesy of Dubspeeka, Jamie Stevens, Pedram and Petrels.

The lone interpretation of 'Some Break' is provided by microCastle label artist Jamie Stevens. The Aussie producer is now making his fourth appearance on the label and first of 2015. Jamie has achieved an amazing level of critical and commercial success over the course of his career. As one of Australia's most talented and sought after music producers he has proven his skill in professional sound design, music scores for film and contemporary dance music. As the founding member of Infusion, the much-loved Australian electronic live act, he's left his mark around the globe, headlining some of the biggest and most respected clubs including; Fabric- London, Pacha - Buenos Aires, Womb- Tokyo and festivals such as Glastonbury, Coachella, Roskilde and Creamfields in Moscow, Brazil, UK and Argentina. In his home country, Infusion has received 2 prestigious ARIA awards for their work. More recently Jamie's discography has been highlighted by a contribution (Prism) to John Digweed and Nick Muir's 'Versus’ album along with 'The Wonder of You', released in 2013 on microCastle, which turned out to be one of his career best pieces of work. It earned a #1 chart placing in both Tech House and Electronica on Beatport and was widely regarded as one of the year's best releases. Always a magical remixer Jamie has reinvented the sparkling, melodic 'Some Break' into a stomping techno beast of a record. Already played by Jeremy Olander & Guy J at the VH1 Supersonic festival it looks to be one of Jamie's biggest techno productions of the year.

Lonya & Mz Sunday Luv - Judgement Day (King Unique Remix) OUT NOW

The mysterious Han Haak lands at Sudbeats doors. His previous work has seem him grace Selador, Sound Avenue and We Are Here Music, and now with 'Redemption' he joins the Sudbeat family. We don’t know anything else about Mr Haak, so we'll just move on to the music and let that do the talking.

‘Redemption', much like Han, is deep and mysterious. Its hypnotic soundscape really draws you in, as its chime like pattern creates tension, while the bass paves the way as this dance floor gem unfurls its magic. After the drop the energy levels increase as extra layers are add deliver a surge in its already driving demeanour. Big stuff!

The always consistent King Unique take on the remix duties, and were certainly wearing the techno trousers on this occasion, as this dark rework packs a serious punch. Trippy fx on the beats make things wobbly from the off, as we moodily march forward, before those bells shroud us further into its enigmatic vibe. Add some live drums, some doppler style effects to the beats to add to this narcotised workout.

Rounding things off nicely we have ‘Damnation'. Shoulder swaying groovy techieness oozes out of every pore here, as nice little reversed blips line the track, as the descending moody patterns gently cascade before all of the layers merge wonderfully in to a solid mass of goodness.

King Unique is Matt Thomas, an all round studio junkie and dj with a taste for tripped-out cosmic techno and rough-edged underground house; in a career spanning nearly a decade KU’s distinctive sound has won an enviable global following. A ceaseless schedule of dj sets and festival gigs backed up by relentless studio sessions resulting in scores of records, remixes and radio broadcasts has made the KU sound an instantly recognizable part of the music-life of millions of the world’s clubbers - and a fixture in the vinyl crates, cd wallets and laptops of the world’s most influential djs. Consistently appealing across genres the tracks have been played by everyone from John Digweed to Soulwax, Richie Hawtin to Tiesto, and have turned up everywhere from Hollywood soundtracks to mobile ringtones - not to mention countless compilations and mix albums.  

Formed in 2001 by Matt Thomas & Matthew Roberts, King Unique hit the floor running, claiming the title of Undisputed Remix Champs by scoring five Essential New Tunes in five months on Pete Tong's "Essential Selection" Radio 1 show. A US Billboard Dance Chart number 1 for the remix of Dirty Vegas’ “Walk Into The Sun”, plus two more solo Essential New Tunes for Matt under his Watkins and Mainframe alter-egos saw KU firmly cement their place amongst the ranks of first-call remixers. The King Unique production touch has been in constant demand since, appearing on more than sixty remixes and yielding some of the biggest dance floor bombs known to man - Underworld's "Two Months Off", The Killers "Somebody Told Me", Planet Funk’s “The Switch”, John Dahlback's "Late Night Worries", and Tracey Thorn’s "Grand Canyon". 

2006 saw the end of the original duo’s studio partnership, as Matt Thomas took on the King Unique role as a solo artist. The four years since have seen the KU sound rise to new heights with a mixture of euphoric acidic melodies, dark brooding techno vibes and old skool beats. This new 'cosmic techno' has found it's home on John Digweed's Bedrock label with the release of "2000000 Suns" and the KU / Anthony Pappa collaboration “Vamoosh”. Backing up the new material have been remixes of John Digweed’s “Bilder”, Hernan Cattaneo’s “Teleport”, Fergie’s “PCP” and an on-going association with James Lavelle’s UNKLE project that has so far resulted in five stunning re-workings; “Heaven”, "Heavy Drug", “The Answer”, “Reign feat. Ian Brown” & “Rabbit In Your Headlights feat. Thom Yorke” - all adding up to reaffirm Matt's status as one of the most versatile and consistent producers of the last ten years.

The renowned King Unique dj set has made KU a regular addition to the line up of some of the world's most respected clubs and biggest festivals, playing everywhere from ultra-hip blacked-out sweat boxes in Tokyo to euphoric crowds of thousands on the tropical beaches of Madeira. An increasingly hectic international schedule has seen Matt racking up enough air-miles for a free trip to the moon, with gigs in Sydney, Panama, Budapest, Seoul, Helsinki, Mexico City, Dubai, Rosario, Bogota, Kazantip, Vilnius - just to name a handful. Since the very first shows Matt has pushed at the cutting edge of the technology revolution that's swept through club culture, taking laptops, new gadgets and studio gear into the booth. 2010 saw the addition of the near mythic Monome controller to the sonic armoury - part track-mangling Ableton controller and part psychedelic light show, lovingly hand built by techno-hippies in the Catskill Mountains. 

Matt + Mac + Monome = Beats + Bleeps = KU Live 

See you by the speakers ;)
