The volume unit was perched precariously at the side of the stage, it acted as an omen for the noisy. That night the rumble would sound out deep within the venue and people would gather amidst the mist and the black to dance and wander aimlessly through the creative landmine which was utopia. Real expression was forgotten a long time ago, now the world was simply a reflection of what lived amidst the internet online, what the pretty people did and the pretty people saw. In this space the dance was all that was left, in freedom and in spirit. 

Filter Dread is set to release a new EP for Tech Startup, an up and coming label which seems to hold real promise for the future. Risk taking and forward thinking, this new EP intrigues and delights.

PREMIERE: Filter Dread - RX 4 Real [Tech Startup]

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.
