Scottish producer/DJ Tactus - head of ABAGA Records - is back with a 4 track EP out on August 4th, 2014 through his own label. The ‘Relocate EP’ is a collection of tracks made at different points over the last 3 years, and will finally be available for a ‘name your price’ download. Despite being recorded at different times, the songs work together, melding jungle sounds with short edits of reggae vocals and rhythmical basslines, which translate well to dance floors, while retaining melody and a relaxed atmosphere. Tactus’ last EP had a great reception, with plays from various DJs and radio shows, including Sub.fm and Radio 1’s Ally McCrae. 

More Tactus releases still to come on ABAGA Records this year.

Tactus - Amputation Party EP (ABAGA014)

Had fun making this for my friend Tam! Had no idea Steven Wilson himself picked this song as his top 8 in his remix competition until months after the announcement: http://thefuturebites.com/remix. I've always been a fan of his music and first heard about him through producing Opeth, which was huge in my sonical upbringing, and his musical input was very evident. I can't express how much this recognition means to me, thank you Steven!
Quote from Steven Wilson: "Ultimately, I have made a very personal selection of 8 [remixes] which I particularly enjoyed, and I would like to share these with everyone..."

01. Change (feat. Rebecca Mason)
02. Dancing Bruise
03. Buleriass Shake
04. Shake Service

Review: Black Lantern are proud to present an EP of dubstep tracks by Edinburgh-based producer and ABAGA Records founder Tactus, sticking to the heavy bass and 2-step beats laid down by the original innovators of first-wave dubstep.

The skanking rhythms of Change are complimented by the luscious vocals of singer Rebecca Mason, swathed in tripped-out reverb and swelling, pulsing filters.

Dancing Bruise features a throbbing, skittering bassline over a full-throttle garage rhythm, breaking down into skanking reggae patterns in the bridge.

The stunning Buleriass Shake is utterly original, melding the complex time signatures and subtle guitar flourishes of Spanish traditional music with upfront dubstep.

Closer Shake Service is ital dubstep in its purest form, a skanking rhythm with plucked guitar and bass, and supremely dubbed-out drops.

Dubstep with the emphasis on dub and omnipresent 2-step rhythms - recorded in 2009/10, these tracks are Tactus' riposte to empty-headed brostep and creatively bankrupt trap.

IRIE!
