Quadrant and Iris aka Leigh and Karen Caplan are drum and bass producers based in Seattle. They have had releases on Metalheadz, Hospital, Avantgarde, Fokuz and Cliché Music. Releases on Dispatch (and Dispatch LTD), Commercial Suicide and Intrigue Music are on the way!
 
Leigh has been writing quality drum and bass for nearly a decade. From his humble origins as a hungry young producer in a Philadelphia basement, to his current status as a respected artist on the worldwide scene, the goal has always been the same: make music that he is proud to call his own. 

Quadrant was originally a four-person collective, having gained modest notoriety for their bootleg of Faithless' 'Crazy English Summer'. Their debut release, 'Arachnid' came in 2005 on the legendary UK label Renegade Hardware. During the next year, they released three more tunes on Hardware, most notably 'Manipulated Living' on the Carpe Diem LP, a track that hasn't left many DJs' crates since. Following these initial successes was a highly respected slew of appearances on Triple Vision’s labels Citrus and Fokuz including the incredible Dermaphoria EP, showcasing dancefloor impact and melodic beauty– a rare combination in a genre that so often seems to favour one at the expense of the other.

Quadrant's transformation into a solo project has only served to increase the volume, quality, and focus of the music. It has also allowed for a wider variety of collaborations with artists from around the world; a co-production with like-minded producers Allied on Trust in Music, a killer remix swap with Italy's venerable Dabs on Citrus, and several works with fellow Seattle producers such as Homemade Weapons, Kid Hops and of course Iris. 

Iris found electronic music at 13, when she first heard 'Insomnia' by Faithless on Seattle’s C89.5. Since then, her love affair with the music has only intensified as she has honed a diverse set of tastes and an equally exacting repertoire of skills behind the decks. Her journey has taken her from UK hard house, into the sounds of trance and progressive, finally culminating in her current focus of deep drum and bass. 

Quadrant and Iris have been absolutely prolific with their collaborations. Their first tune, 'Anthropocene', was spotted immediately by Goldie and snapped up for the Metalheadz Genesis EP volume 4. Other collaborations with Kid Hops have been released on Hospital Recordings, Avantgarde, Fokuz and Cliché Music. Works for Dispatch, Intrigue, C.I.A and Commercial Suicide are also set for release, keep an eye on Quadrant and Iris' pages for more info (links below). With worldwide DJ support from the likes of Goldie, Nymfo, Ant TC1, Total Science, Klute, Dabs, Silent Witness, Survival, Ulterior Motive and State of Mind, this is a very exciting (and hectic!) time for Quadrant and Iris!

Quadrant and Iris - The Raving Religion Promo Mix August 2013

Disphonia are a Greek based production/dj duo formed by Kostas Nomikos and George Roubinis.

They have had releases on SOM Music, Mindtech Recordings, Dutty Audio, Full Force Recordings, M-Atome, Trust in Music and Platform Music. The duo currently have music forthcoming on Eatbrain, SOM Music, Rise Audio, Citrus Recordings and Dephrecords.

Back in 2006 they discovered that they both share the same genuine passion for drum and bass and have a mutual love for creating tech-influenced sounds, raw and gritty basslines and deep soundscapes. Their main aim since then has been to produce an ever-excelling output of fresh material.
 
They were part of the Funxion Crew (a local event promoting and DJ collective) that played a key role in presenting some of the most established d&b acts to the Athens scene. During the past ten years Disphonia have performed with artists such as Noisia, Gridlok, Black Sun Empire, Calyx & Teebee, Icicle, Nymfo, Mindscape and Mefjus.  

2011 saw their debut release 'November' on Mindtech Recording's 'No Future' LP, which sparked immediate interest on the scene closely followed by a further release - '1987 Demons /Time Machine' feat. Camelorg - in conjunction with the acclaimed French duo, Kantyze, on Berlin's finest d&b label Trust In Music. The 12" vinyl single reached No.1 in sales, within the first week of its release, on Juno Records' store.

In 2012 Disphonia released their second solo work 'Collapsed' on the French label M-Atome which had widespread success and was supported by numerous DJs like Dose and State of Mind, which well and truly put them on the d&b map. 'Collapsed' is currently the label's best selling release on Beatport. The track's infectious bass-lines and driving breaks were fortified in a menacing remix by Zero Method, released on Citrus Recordings. 

Disphonia's successful collaboration with Kantyze continued with a new funk-fueled tune called 'Zig Zag' released on Trust In Music. 'Headfirst' (a solo effort from the duo) came soon after and was picked up by the prolific SOM Music imprint and was featured in State of Mind's Next Level podcast.

2013 found them with many shows around Europe, including Renegade Hardware in London, whilst they had the chance to work with Dementia and Rregula on a track entitled 'Hightimes' released on Full Force Recordings which recieved great DJ support and was featured in the top 20 d&b tracks on Track It Down. The duo also tested their skills at a different tempo, producing a raucous dubstep track named "Envious Eyes", as part of a 4 track EP for the new promising Bulgarian outlet Platform Music. This release reached the #1 spot on Juno's deep dubstep chart. 

Their most recent release 'Stateside' is a heavy-duty collaboration with Dose which has just been released on Dutty Audio. A militant solo effort called 'Warbunker' is forthcoming on Eatbrain and is due out towards the end of the year. The duo also have a collaboration with fellow Greek based producer Camelorg forthcoming on SOM Music which is called 'Commit'. 

Having plenty of collaborations, remixes and solo work in the pipeline, they are going from strength to strength and the bar is constantly being set higher. The duo are planning on releasing their first solo EP in 2014, keep an eye on their pages for more info!

Summer finally seems to be in full force here in the UK which we’re very happy about and we’re also very pleased to formally announce a new resident has joined our collective, Lurch. 

From an early age Lurch has been a devoted music  fan and multi-instrumentalist. He started djing and producing in 2006 after he became enamoured with the deeper side of dubstep. While in an Oxford based punk band until 2012, he produced on and off until later on in the year when he started to take things more seriously. 

He quickly snapped up opportunities to release on LDNB Music, DNBB Music and Soul Deep Recordings, also gaining support from Different Drumz and Ledge Sounds. Releases on other exciting labels like Intrigue Music are already lined up for the future. 

Things continue to look up for this budding producer, possessed by musical liquid funk that will surely continue to resonate through his future releases and beyond. Keep a close eye on Lurch’s pages to keep up to date with all of his forthcoming releases, news and events.

For October's podcast we're very pleased to present and officially welcome our latest recruits, the Data 3 trio. 

Data 3 was formed when Syrum (a talented dubstep duo from Manchester) teamed up with Mida to work on making some dark drum and bass. A genre which they were all interested in but had not made much of. Since forming Data 3 have released on a compilation album for Grand Theft Audio Records which subsequently led to them releasing their debut single on the same label under the title name 'Dienasty'. The trio are now about to release their second full single on London based Soul:vent Recordings which focuses on the deeper, rolling side of the genre. 

A few words from Data 3: “Doing the mix for The Raving Religion was great fun. It focuses on many aspects of DNB but it is more to the rolling side of things with a few dirty hiccups. We also got a bit rowdy whilst doing the set and someone (Mida) wouldn't leave the FX bit on the mixer alone so sorry for all the swooshing. Bigups the TRR crew for asking us to do a mix and getting us on board. And bigup GTA and Soul:vent for releasing our take on the genre. Hope you enjoy the mix. Peace.” Data 3.

Z4thoichi is a London based producer and DJ who produces underground, rolling psychedelic beats. 

He has released music on Blacked Out Recordings, Sound Break Records, Divergence, KindCrime Recordings, V.I.M. Records, Music Dark Records, Ego Shot Recordings and Dirty Drop Records.

Z4thoichi is the project which Javier E.R has been immersed in for the last few years. Javi started listening to 60's and 70's music when he was a child and at a young age he knew it wouldn't stop there. Being a drummer, percussionist, bass player and autodidact, he has always been interested in all types and styles of music from all over the world, imbibing his soul with everything he has listened to.

In 1998 Javi started a punk-rock band called Paper Plane, where he played the drums and he started to realise he really loved creating rhythms. From then on, he has been involved in many different bands, contributing and learning.

In 2004 he discovered psychedelic trance and the rave scene and he went to lots of psychedelic nights in Decades, an epic bar in his home town Seville, Spain. Those experiences encouraged him to participate in the scene and share his feelings about the music.

In 2005 Javi founded a psytrance collective called Psylocibe with some friends from Seville that offered their particular vision of psytrance, throwing indoor and outdoor parties featuring the best djs of the Andalusian scene. From that point on Javi has been very active, playing at free parties and clubs in Spain such as El Tren and Quilombo and also at important festivals like Kuruputo Festival (Argentina)and SkizodelicMind Festival, Connection (Spain).

In 2010 Javi started producing psychedelic tech funk/psybreaks under the name Z4thochi. A very promising career path soon emerged which was fortified by his tracks being remixed by renowned artists such as Andy Faze, Charlie Kane and Forufreezer. 

2013 was a very productive (and busy) year for Z4thoichi. As well as moving to London from Seville he released 4 quality original tracks alongside 4 remixes plus a wicked Memtech remix, which went out as a free download. 

2014 has been equally positive starting off with an excellent System 2 remix followed up by a storming collab with Chris Voro called ‘Genesis’. A remix for the mighty Martopeter was released shortly after along with another first class remix, this time for Blacklist. You can listen of all of these releases on his Z4thoichi soundcloud page.

Javi also is working on another project called HōKō, going back to his roots. The link to his HōKō soundcloud page can be found below.  

With support from the likes of Far Too Loud, Too Dusty, Kwah, AP3X, Martopeter, Acidova and Motna, Z4thoichi is definitely one to watch in the ever growing psybreaks scene. Keep an eye on his pages to keep up to date with all of his upcoming releases and events!

After a few months in hibernation we're back with a fresh podcast from our resident Lurch.

Since his debut mix in June 2014, Lurch has been prolifically releasing music, cementing his place in the scene. His Intrigue Music release, 'Body Language' has had widespread support from the likes of Marky, Break, Storm and Patife and was one of the most popular tracks at Sun & Bass 2014. This release is out now and is available via Juno: http://www.junodownload.com/products/intrigue-12-the-anniversary-collection/2704810-02/ Another highlight of Lurch's ongoing success was being remixed by L-Side and Random Movement. Both releases are out now on Liquid Tones and Soul Deep Exclusives. 

Lurch's second TRR mix is a varied blend of quality, classic style d&b imbued with a hint of jazz and hip hop. His mix also features 4 Lurch exclusives, including 'Body Language VIP'. Enjoy!

It’s been over 2 years since we last promoted a dubstep mix so we’re very pleased to present this one mixed by our residents Syrum. 

Syrum is formed by two close friends Alex & Harry, two-thirds of the d&b DJ and production trio Data 3. The partnership was started due to an impromptu b2b set at a local event and the duo haven’t looked back since. 

They have played in some of the major London clubs, like Cable (RIP), and the North and have collaborated with artists such as RUFUS!, Fiend, and Pola. The duo have released two sets of free downloads via Prolific Underground, initially the ‘Jupiter’ EP and more recently the single ‘Guardian’, and ‘Space Hamsters’ on Soulvent Records which is also free. They also won the Styx Recordings remix competition for Ponicz’ song ‘Get Gully’.

Keep a close eye on their pages, not forgetting their d&b exploits with Data 3. These talented, driven producers are definitely ones to watch!

Syrum - The Raving Religion Promo Mix/Podcast 34 April 2015

All you ravers who are off to Outlook this week we've got an ideal warm up mix for you, packed full of dubs and impressively mixed by Data 3's Mark Dinimal. 

As his name suggests, Mark's sound is slightly darker and more minimalistic than his weighty dancefloor orientated productions with Data 3, so expect lots of moody rollers and subby steppers with a bit more of a cutting edge in his solo mix, which is bound to please even the most underground of heads. 

Since Data 3's debut mix for us back in 2014, they have made huge strides into the scene and are fast becoming a household name for those in the know. Following on from their popular releases on Soulvent Records and GTA Recordings the trio have released music on Subtitles Music, Addictive Behaviour, Skankandbass, SoulTrader, Limitless Recordings and most recently Shogun Audio. Releases on other prominent labels are also imminent, along with some high profile collaborations and remixes so their future continues to look very bright. 

Whilst working in tandem with his Data 3 colleagues on their projects, Mark is very busy with his own productions and has taken a break from the system to better himself by enrolling on a music production course at Manchester University. This step has paid huge dividends to his solo progress in the short time he has been studying there and after hearing what he's currently working on, we expect Mark's solo efforts to reach similar heights that his teamwork with Data 3 has reached in the near future.

We’re very pleased to end the year’s uploads with the first promo mix of our new series, brought to you by the exciting up and coming Spanish drum & bass production and DJ duo No Human Sound. 

No Human Sound was created when two budding producers from the Spanish underground drum & bass scene united with the view to strengthen and improve their sound which flits between dark and light. After releasing a well received free download on Melting Pot Records in collaboration with fellow spaniard Aim Alive, a stunning bootleg of Lapalux’s ‘Without You’ with Atari Hanzo & Hes and most recently a head-turning debut single featuring a heavy solo effort and another collaboration with Atari Hanzo on Lost Recordings and having releases on Terabyte Records & FLYHi Recs already scheduled for 2018, these talented and incredibly dedicated producers have made a firm stride in the right direction and we have absolutely no doubt that they are destined for the top.

Split & Jaxta are a duo who are based in Tel Aviv, Israel. In 2009 the duo met in Tel Aviv's largest music school, “Muzik” where they quickly decided to pair up, and a year later released their first EP on Plasmapool’s sublabel NOIZE. Remixes for the likes of Alex Mind, Freefire, Fractal System, Keemereh, CyberSutra and more soon followed plus a string of original releases and free downloads. Their music derives from the psy-trance genre and twists into an electro-based spectrum, with distorted synths and a certain rock and roll rawness.

Also Split & Jaxta are making their debut U.S appearance this November in San Francisco.

Quantum Soul is an artist who strives to push boundaries in the dubstep scene. Tainted (he believes), by mainstream awareness of a fraction of the dubstep sound, Quantum Soul seeks to restore depth and spiritual meaning to a genre which has suffered as a result of its current result commercial successes. He regards music is a primal force, and not one which is there for the sole purpose of commidification and exploitation. As such, his music is aimed at drawing the listener and dancer deep into themselves, allowing them to discover what recesses lie behind, beneath and beyond the everyday phenomena they commonly associate with music. His music is profound, and can be appreciated on both headphones and sound systems alike.

Quantum Soul has had releases on Tribe 12, Ranking Records, Dubting, Dubbed Out, Transistor, Pressed Records and Inside Recordings. He also has a release forthcoming on Uprise Audio called 'Underworld'  plus a very special release on Innamind recordings called 'Strong Root' which is due for release in March!

Quantum Soul is also one quarter of the production force Cymatic working with Ruckspin, DLR and Octane. 

To keep updated with all of Quantum Soul's latest news and events check out his pages.

If you're lucky enough to be in Maastricht in Holland for Friday the 15th of February head to the Muziekgieterij. You'll find Quantum Soul alongside Kaiju and Killawatt representing the UK!

Some of you may have already heard of Split & Jaxta from their November promo mix but if you haven't they're two very talented producers who are based in Tel Aviv, Israel. We enjoyed their promo mix so much we had no choice but to invite them back for a podcast!  

Since November Split & Jaxta have been very busy writing new music and DJing. They made their US debut in late November in San Francisco and then in February they released their debut release on Broken Robot Records which is called 'Pandora'. The release was extremely popular and was supported by the likes of Far Too Loud, Hedflux and Bad Tango. In March the duo very kindly gave away a wicked remix of E-Cologyk's 'Golden Hawk', which is available to download via this link: http://soundcloud.com/split-n-jaxta/e-cologyk-golden-hawk-split 

Split & Jaxta are currently working on some more original tracks which should be out in the not too distant future. They're also taking dates for shows in the USA for later on this summer. They are going to be there from late August and will be starting off in the California area but are open to bookings anywhere across the USA. If you're interested you can email them directly via the email address below.

Sleeper is a deep, dark, bass-heavy electronic music producer based in Coventry, UK. He has had releases on Chestplate, Osiris, Artikal and he has also released a string of tracks on his bandcamp website including a techno album.

Sleeper got some turntables when he was 14 and started mixing house and techno while everyone else at his school was into garage. When he left school he got into jungle and drum & bass and stopped buying techno records and started collecting music from labels such as Metalheadz, Reinforced, Soul:r, Commercial Suicide and Bassbin. Jungle got him interested in music production, he was amazed by the creativity in the drum work especially by guys like Photek, because they really took drum editing to a new level.

At the time he had no idea how to create the sounds he was into, so he found a six month course on sound engineering and started messing around on Cubase. He then moved to Leeds, got a PC and a few cracks and taught himself how to make beats. He started off making jungle and drum & bass because that's what he was really into at the time, but began to play around at 140bpm after going to some of the early DMZ/Exodus nights at Leeds West Indian Centre. Those nights were a massive influence on his sound.

His efforts were soon signed by Chestplate Recordings' head honcho Distance, quickly establishing himself as one of the hardest hitting producers in dubstep, with his dark and grim steppers heard assaulting sound systems worldwide. Rinse FM support from Youngsta, Distance, Icicle and J Kenzo soon followed. He also started putting out regular mixes on Radio 1Xtra as part of their Daily Dose of Dubstep.

Sleeper began 2013 with something completely different; a techno album! The Enter EP features ten tracks of stomping, energetic techno which are all over 6 minutes long. You can check out the full EP via this link: http://sleeperchst.bandcamp.com/album/enter-ep
 
Sleeper has been really enjoying making techno at the moment, he’s been on it properly for a good few months now. He’s found experimenting with different sounds is very beneficial because he believes that when he approaches a new genre, with little or no experience in making that style, he is forced out of his comfort zone a little. He has to try new ways of working and learn new techniques in order to get a different result.

Later on in January Sleeper and District released their debut 12" on Kryptic Minds' label Osiris Music UK. The Risk’ is a collab by the pair which sits somewhere between dubstep and techno. The flip ‘Dark Mutations’, is a brutally fierce halftime solo effort by Sleeper. Sleeper then gave away an awesome techno track called 'Receptor' which is available for free download via his bandcamp page. This was followed by his release 'Ritual' / 'Tidal' which came out at the end of March on J Kenzo and MOSAIX's label Artikal Music UK. Also in March Sleeper also came third in the Dubstep Forum Awards' Best 120-140 producer category.

In April Sleeper played his first ever techno x dubstep set in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Then in May he released the huge 'Narcissus' / 'Burning Spears' on Osiris Music UK, followed by an announcement that a very dangerous collab with Kryptic Minds is on the way! Sleeper finished May with a quality techno track called 'Defect Structure' (http://soundcloud.com/sleepermusic/sleeper-defect-structure) along with another annoucement letting us know that he is going to be featuring on the Dispatch Recordings 'Transit 2' album!
 
More big news followed this month, Sleeper's epic unreleased tracks 'Systema', 'Species', 'Total Destroy System' and 'On The Inside' are set for release on Chestplate Recordings! You can listen to clips of the tracks on Sleeper's soundcloud page (link below).
 
As far as Sleeper’s current influences go, they’re always changing. Last year he was into a lot more dubstep and really dark drum & bass like Limewax and Current Value however, this year he has been listening to a lot more techno and neurofunk/tech d&b like Noisia and Neosignal but he’s not sure if that is to do with there being less and less dubstep that he’s into or more techno and d&b.

He feels that the deeper, darker side of dubstep is still developing as a whole. He’s noticing improvements from both established artists and guys who some might consider to be newcomers, both in terms of creativity, technique and overall production quality. He also thinks the next few years are going to be interesting, because he’s certain that the deep, dark side of dubstep hasn't peaked yet.
