Kabuto Know-U Kabuto 5 Track, 12" (2009, The Frequency Lab) Related: Know-U. Think of dubstep and the immediate locales that comes to mind are the dark bedrooms of London’s southern council estates where guys in hoodies hunch over laptops and overflowing ashtrays. Not so for Sydney based Andrew Waszkiewicz aka Know-U. 

 ‘Like Horse for Comfort’ is what I imagine falling in and out of consciousness on an emergency ward gurney must sound/feel like. The beeps and low hum delays sounding like medical equipment and the muttered conversations of nurses with clipboards. 

This is by no means something you could dance to – not unless you have a load of opiates coursing through your blood stream – but for late night internet surfing, it does the trick nicely. by Tim Scott

Still kinda thinking this is a work in progress, but may finally have got a track finished.

On Go

Sydney-based dubstep producer Know-U first started throwing parties, Djing drum and bass and playing in bands back in Newcastle, before his recent relocation brought him to the attention of The Frequency Lab collective, leading to his playing at their monthly label party. He’s also attracted significant attention already during his comparatively short career, with his tracks receiving blog and podcast support, as well as interest from UK dubstep names such as Hot Flush’s Gravious. 

His five track 12” EP on The Frequency Lab label, offers up the first taste of Know-U’s dark and brooding dubstep productions, and appropriately, takes its title ‘Kabuto’, from the Japanese word for Samurai helmet, suitably evoking an atmosphere that’s both exotic and hard-edged. An impressive debut offering from a local producer who’s definitely following his own muse, rather than simply being another dubstep soundalike.
