AUDITORY EXPLORERS:
______________________________________
➔ TRUTH (New Zealand :: Deep Medi / GetDarker)
https://www.facebook.com/TruthNZ
Sonic architects of songs with an emotional heft as heavy as the subwoofer rupturing basslines that underpin their work, Truth are one of New Zealand's finest creative exports. Respected across the globe, since inception several years ago, Truth have, as both world-class producers and party-rocking DJs, cut a clear pathway through the international dubstep scene.
Through keynote DJ support, they have been rewarded with single releases via Deep Medi Muzik, Aquatic Lab, Disfigured Dubz, Argon and Boka Records. Through these, including critically 'The Fatman' (as released via Deep Medi Muzik) and their acclaimed Aquatic Lab released album Puppets, Truth have seen their stock rise, placing them as in-demand remixers and collaborators to The Nextmen, Miss Dynamite, Shapeshifter, The Black Seeds, Optimus Gryme, Silkie, Kromestar, Tunndige and countless figures of note within the international dubstep community.
➔ PSYMBIONIC (Austin, TX :: Bwomp / Made In Glitch)
https://www.facebook.com/Psymbionic
As a part of the upcoming generation of electronic music producers, Psymbionic creates aural experiences that demonstrate the possibility for multi-tempo Bass Music and culture to exist within a range of more divergent influences. Passion and innovation drives this young producer, facilitating his forthcoming and past releases on labels such as Made in Glitch, MalLabel, and Daly City Records, just to name a few.
In a live show context, Psymbionic confronts mixes that are limited to the scope of the build and release, avoiding an industry epidemic of drop-monotony that overpowers the flow of music. Burcham seeks to prove that there are more powerful influences in moving a crowd than simple tension, providing an interwoven dynamic that relies on the strength of his blend, rather than the sole force or familiarity of the apex.
➔ Fresh Young Minds (MalLabel)
https://www.facebook.com/freshyoungminds
Influenced heavily by bass pioneers such as Eprom and Heyoka, Fresh Young Minds has developed his own singular and funky production style, taking cues from a vast array of styles such as New Jack Swing, 80’s New Wave, 8-bit Dub, Psyphy, Drumstep, and Dubstep. In today’s bass culture, crossing genres is as acceptable as it is expected, and this is where artists such as Fresh Young Minds find a foot hold in their expressive freedom.
➔ Porkchop (MalLabel)
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Porkchop
San Francisco based DJ/Producer Porkchop (Benjamin Keyser) has built a rising obelisk of sound stemming from the muscles and chambers of the underground scene into the high gloss swash of the refined dubstep movement above. In addition to his solo offerings, Porkchop contributes to many of the SF bass-fixated conglomerates and operates half of ADSUM with Mikey Fisher. His live performances are a mix of heady minimalist dubs and spontaneous compositions, further blurring the lines between DJ, musician, and artist.
➔ Ro Knew (MalLabel / Ritual )
https://www.facebook.com/RoKnewMusic
Ranging from vintage-sounding, organic hip-hop to futuristic, 808-heavy dubstep & bass music, Ro Knew's various soundscapes are tied together by the common elements of soul-shaking drums, thick basslines, and light-hearted but honest lyricism.
