Quadrant Soundscape are Tommy Harrison and Wilson Logan from Manchester. Together, they are the minds behind the Dub Explorations Radio Show. They also run a series of live events at the famous Eastern Bloc Records, with notable guest appearances from Ohm, Kvadrant, El Choop, Andy Green, Mike Shommer.

The Dub Explorations Radio Show itself has well surpassed 110 shows, all 3 hours in length which is an insight into the dedication they have for hunting underground music to showcase and push forward - [www.soundcloud.com/quadrantsoundscape/sets/dub-explorations]

They have also expanded their musical output which now includes “The Quadrasphere“ series where artists are invited to show a different musical side of themselves from what you might expect, as well as the soon to launch Frontier Series where they will have world rebounded artists showcasing their sound. 

Over the last 8 years, the boys have featured on many podcasts across the globe, where their creative style of playing Ambient, Dub Techno, Minimal and Detroit Techno on 4 decks, while incorporating live samples is always well received. This has also led to them being invited to play many gigs in Manchester, London and Berlin.

Individually, Tommy produces music as Asphalt Layer. His deep, electronic and dubby sound being heard on multiple record labels worldwide. Incorporating analog machines and field recordings to generate the many noises he uses in his productions, along with that 90's Jungle influence, his sound is very recognisable.

And Wilson has begun a new alias, Scavenger, where he dives deep into the murky, experimental and dark, trippy techno world to produce very unique mixes. This alias allows Wilson to experiment more with his records and sound, often performing in a dark room on 4 decks alone.

Submoon aka Alesandro Tasso is a passionate producer and DJ from southern Italy.

Since 2007 his love for the Techno sounds of Dub and 90s Detroit has allowed him to experiment and express his passion as a self-taught producer releasing on record labels such as Ranges, Etui Records and Vuo records.

In 2014 he joined the Sound Department crew, spreading his idea of Dub/Techno music in one of the most active clubs in southern Italy.

In recent years he has also participated in a local collective that organizes parties articulated by different thoughts about the various possibilities that art can tell through sound, drawing, photography but also and especially perception. The culmination of everything started in 2019 with the party called "Forma," and then turned into a reality in 2021 with “Salotto Elettronico”  that is still held every Sunday at Mercato Nuovo (Taranto). During this summer he also had the chance to play at “Redrum" in collaboration with Sound Department (Taranto).

From 2016 to now he is behind the scenes of several electronic music projects, as well as curator of the record label Ranges together with his friends as well as label owners Hydergine and Kaelan/2030.
