[PL019] _ ACTRAISER – Survival Horror EP

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:10:16 +0000

Bristol’s Actraiser has been flying under the radar this year, which is hard to believe considering the magnitude of tunes he’s been coming up with in 2011. With the Survival Horror EP, Actraiser breaks out and finishes the year with probably his most mature, well-rounded work to date.

The title track Survival Horror is a breathtaking trip to the more sensual side of 140BPM, incorporating sax riffs and beautiful atmospheric pads with a smidgeon of darkness. Kusagari follows suit with a future garage workout building on the atmospheric thickness of the lead tune but especially showcasing Actraiser‘s talent for finding just the right acoustic samples for every track. Beautiful and soulful are the best ways to describe this sound. It’s A Trap flips the script altogether and brings in the booming, tribal 4×4 bass that Actraiser has been favoring as of late, providing a tune that’s certain to heat up the dancefloor while keeping things firmly footed on the darkside. A favorite dub of a host of DJs around the world this year, this one’s a surefire hit. We round things off with Hydorah, a dark and dirty future-garage-meets-broken-beat number with a filtered 2-step beat and heavy bass oozing out of your speakers like heavy molasses.

Paradise Lost is proud to present to you the Survival Horror EP by Actraiser, whose bold and confident sound is sure to capture the attention of the bass music community.

[PL017] _ DIVERGENT PATHS Vol.2 feat. TKR, CHEWIE, VANDERA & LOSTLOJIC

admin — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:21 +0000

The second volume in our series of epic dancefloor releases, Divergent Paths Vol.2 sees TKR, Vandera & Lostlojic, and man-of-the-moment Chewie taking the reigns. TKR starts us off with ‘Cluster Bomb’ and brings the deepness. His combination of strings, neuro pads and tech stabs is a treat for the senses (plus home listening) and a great tool for DJs looking to keep things on the darkside but liven up the crowd at the same time. Chewie steps up on his initial Paradise Lost release with ‘Cuttin’, constructing a science fiction swing beat with ominous pads and a heavy build up in tension, which is cut like a knife by his razor sharp basswork. This is the first in a line of highly anticipated Chewie tracks on Paradise Lost which will see him make a permanent mark on Dubstep in 2011 and beyond. Vandera and Lostlojic finish things up on this dense release by bringing the fire with their Amen-heavy nugget ‘Volt’. This track is of epic proportions and you should be on the lookout for big things from these guys in the coming year. Paradise Lost, reppin’ worldwide and from strength to strength, yet again…

Vandera

admin — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:57:31 +0000

Vandera is a Master in testing new psychoactive drugs during the day (as a scientist) while at night, the Dutch DJ/producer composes bass music with surprisingly similar psychostimulant properties.

His melodic sounds are easily administered intra-aurally, with certain pressure waves specifically engineered for big rig sound systems. Also on the market are more blissful hallucinogenic sounds designed for afterparties or autonomic use. Both varieties from London’s psychonaut Vandera are exemplified here, and signed to beat suppliers such as Echodub (UK), Bassism (USA), Subdepth (UK), Stoke Audio (GER), Car Crash Set (USA), and Paradise Lost (USA/GER).

Extra DJ sets with long kinetic half-lives can be found on mixcloud. For bookings, remix inquiries and label signings send a message through soundcloud, or find the mad scientist on AIM: vanderamusic.

Repeated administration has been shown to result in uncontrolled nodding of the head and persistent yet pleasant psychological dependence.

Chewie is a Dubstep producer based in Melbourne and is a member of Joint Forces.

His tracks are currently being played out in the clubs by some of the biggest names in Dubstep including Reso, Distance, Babylon System, Komanazmuk, Antiserum, Triage and The Bassist, and his tracks have also featured on Sub.fm, Rinse.fm and Dubstep.fm

Signed to Subway records, Gamma Audio, Paradise Lost and Requiem Audio, with some huge releases due to drop this year. Chewie’s on fire atm and there’s plenty more coming.

[PL016] _ TKR – FUTURE UNKNOWN EP

admin — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 02:08:13 +0000

TKR graces us with two slabs of electronic perfection on his inaugural Paradise Lost artist EP. The title track ‘Future Unknown’ is a forward-thinking example of TKR’s production talents at 170bpm – blending melodies with his precision drums and ominous, yet uplifting pads. We’ve enlisted Australia’s most deadly Hospital/Med School ninja – Royalston – for a remix which is both delicate and ferocious. He gradually turns up the “Epic” dial throughout this experiment in future funk and his sinister reeces and crisp production bring this track to a level we didn’t think possible. This remix is already a hit, enjoys support by a number of the DNB elite, and is featured on a Hospital Records CD mixed by Royalston himself.

The flipside sees TKR in more familiar territory around 140bpm. ‘Breath’ is a journey through space – a wall-of-sub bassline compliments space-age drum programming and warped snares, creating a 4-dimensional sound experiment with an Arabic tinge that will be a favorite of those leaning towards the more deep and abstract end of the Dubstep continuum. Twisted, who has a Paradise Lost artist EP of his own coming up, takes ‘Breath’ in a more rolling direction with the bassline, adds in some bouncey, funky signature drums, but keeps the feel deep and complex in his aptly titled Flying Carpet Remix. Whether it’s DNB, Halfstep or Dubstep you’re after, there’s a version on this release for you. So pick your poison and Paradise Lost shall deliver!

[PL015] _ Dubtek & The SubDivision – MECCA EP

admin — Thu, 12 May 2011 20:40:12 +0000

Dark and moody vibes are the common theme on the Mecca EP which teams The SubDivision with Seattle’s Dubtek on a journey to the darkside. The title track, Mecca, utilizes mystical atmospheres, huge throbbing subbass and crisp percussion to deliver a bleak and highly meditative vibe. Gravity graces us with his Mecca Remix and impresses with his mastery of bassline science and percussive mayhem – he transitions effortlessly from a drawn-out ambient intro to fierce basswork and tons of tube reverb, delivering a real treat for the senses. The Perfect Storm is utterly sinister as well – intricate percussion structures, deep subbass and razor sharp disharmonic synthwork combine to form an epic monster of a track. It is also the logical continuation of the song The Calm Before The Storm which is available to download for free from our webpage.

Bass, space and pace are the guiding principles behind the Mecca EP, dark and brooding is the mood. This is head-down, lights-out business sure to darken up any dance – get ready!
