Two Faced is 3 individuals from Sydney, Australia who are regulars in the Sydney Dubstep scene. They operate under the surname-based-monikers of Gielis, Beetee and Hellmore. Originating from completely different social circles, all of them are avid vinyl junkies who have come together, united by their passion for bass at Sydney's monthly club night VOID which continues to maintain its reputation as the guiding light for Sydney Dubstep.
These 3 individuals have been keeping each other on their toes though a flow of consistent mixtapes chronicling their recent purchases and showcasing the blends of tunes they've unlocked while cooped up in their bedrooms, mixing solo till the wee hours of the morning.
With such petty competition constantly brewing among them, the idea was spawned to combine their efforts into a collective with the intention to create a series of themed mixes concentrating not on the heaviest, most face-melting track selection, but bringing to the table their perfected tune combinations. These blends contained within are simply not made available to the public, known only to the DJs who posses the foresight to create them. These podcasts are an attempt to display to the masses what can be accomplished through hunting DubstepForum, mining the tracklistings of podcasts by the likes of Youngsta and N-Type, spending exorbitant amounts of money on Chemical and Discogs, and practicing like nothing else...sacrificing many a hot meal simply to continue the mix.
For our inaugural podcast, mixing duties have been passed to the man Gielis. While not only a badman on the 1's and 2's, he is also the man responsible for the super-fly artwork you see above. For Gielis the sound of Dubstep was redefined with the release of SWAMP 81's debut “One Of Us” by Kryptic Minds.
“When I heard 'One Of Us' I realised there was this whole other thing going on. I gave up looking for bangers and began to delve deeper into the sound. For me, that was the turning point.”
- Gielis
Since then his primary musical diet has been the eyes down half-step darkside of Dubstep. Blackbox, DMZ, Osiris…these are the labels catering to this audience. With this in mind there is no one better to kick off:Chapter 1: Tales From The Krypt
A pure eyes-down mix dedicated to the undeniable Kryptic Minds sound, and with the imminent release of the new Minds album, this is the perfect accompaniment for those who want to OD on the darker tip of dubstep. The mix is 100% vinyl, mixed live.
