Stillhead treats us to more deep dubstep, this time techy stabs, pressurised sub and a bashy drop to take beautiful floaty vocals, strings and a sharp snare on a real stepper.

Summer

Stillhead - Summer [BDP015]

Giant slabs of oscillating bassweight, tight percussion and
sonar blips worthy of early days dubstep send us deep into
dub-techno influenced territory at 140bpm.

Deep, Electronic music. The hazy, blurred overlap between techno and ambient, the dubby fringes of deep house and melancholy bass music or the closing gap which separates drum and bass from dub-techno, it’s all within our Brightest Dark Place.

A state of mind. A gut feeling. A reactionary state. Everyone has their own Brightest Dark Place. Join Stillhead in his.

It has been a year of change for Alex Cowles. After retiring his DFRNT alias, alongside his Echodub label, he has made a fresh start with something new. Working under the alias Stillhead, he has launched a new label: Brightest Dark Place.

Stillhead - Uncertain Dub [from Iceberg album]

Speaker-rattling bass-weight and meticulous drum-programming make Stillhead’s production a hugely rewarding listening experience. The Spiders EP brings us 4 brand new tracks utterly saturated with atmosphere and emotion, while dripping with suspense.

After 6 years, 4 albums, over 20 EPs and countless remixes and appearances under his DFRNT alias, Alex Cowles decided to switch things up and start fresh as Stillhead.

Taking a far more meticulous approach to his Nordic-inspired, deep dub-influenced electronica he swiftly released the “Dwelling EP” on sea-blue transparent vinyl on his own imprint Brightest Dark Place, following that with the expansive full-length album “Iceberg” on vinyl with Here & Now Recordings.

Now Alex returns with a brand new 4-track EP, back at home on his own Brightest Dark Place.

It has been 2 years since my debut album as Stillhead and I'm planning to release a second album titled "Copenhagen".

A humble tribute to the Danish capital, and something of a catalogue of my time there, I'd like to present ten brand new Stillhead tracks, alongside remixes from some amazing producers.

I'm planning a double CD release since I missed out on a CD version of my debut "Iceberg". I'm also planning a limited run of small artwork prints and if I get enough funding maybe a vinyl EP.

Copenhagen

Stillhead - Copenhagen LP [Album preview mix] [CD1]

Copenhagen, the new album from Stillhead mixes experimental, cinematic and futuristic dub, glimpses of drum & bass and his trademark deep, expansive, intricate sound. Immersive and wide-screen electronica meets ultra-tight percussion with a variety of vocals peppered throughout.

Alongside a full album of original tracks, there are a host of incredible remixes which bring the sounds of Stillhead that little closer to the dancefloor.

Bop, Hatti Vatti, Versa, Tonik Ensemble, Mr. Roque, Generate, Other Spectrum and Another Channel all bring their unique sounds and production genius to the table taking their remixes in a range of new directions.

The album is Stillhead’s document of his year spent living in the Danish capital.

Channeling his inner dub-techno through a drum & bass structure, Stillhead weaves a beautiful remix of Ishani's incredible Stormy Emotions. 

Taking her crystalline vocals and letting them soar over a deep, liquid dub-influenced but bass-heavy track.

Wednesday Dub EP, marks the start of a new string of releases from Scottish future-dub producer Stillhead.

This 3-track EP takes Wednesday Dub, a track from his forthcoming album (Out of the Loop Part 1) and gives it a 4-4 rework, along with a remix from recent Brightest Dark Place artist and deep dub-tech afficionado Skruff. The EP is finished off with a dubstep track from the Stillhead archives combining brassy bass and cinematic atmospherics.

This EP will be released on 12th June, ahead of the forthcoming Stillhead album “Out of the Loop Part 1”.

Following hot on the heels of his Wednesday Dub EP, Stillhead is releasing a new 8-track album packed with deep, dub-techno infused sounds spanning the genre gamut, from ambient to drum & bass. All taking strong inspiration from the worlds of ambient and deep dub-techno.

From sluggish bass-heavy slow-step pieces like Flowing, to more skittish ambient steppers like Drowning, the album has Stillhead immersed in a world of circulating chords, reverb-drenched echoes and tight rhythmic production. Cinematic and expansive from the get-go, this one will be sure to appeal to fans of this deeper end of the musical spectrum.

I've been a huge fan of Leftfield, and this track for some time now, and although I don't think it's possible to surpass the exquisite nature of the Mighty Quark remix of this track - I did want to give it a bash, and this is what came out.

Enjoy!

Scottish-born Stillhead produces deep electronic music. It sits stylistically between dub, drum & bass, ambient, dub-techno, downtempo, post dubstep, deep techno and bass music.

If none of that makes sense to you, then let’s just call it deep electronic music. It’s been described as both cinematic and atmospheric.
