BROKEN NOTE BIO

Raised on a diet of pure filth, Broken Note have dragged their own unique sound kicking and screaming into the electronic music scene. Combining lean, considered production skills with an appreciation of diverse rough beats, Broken Note have quickly established themselves as a sonic force to be reckoned with.

Broken Note have quickly racked up several critically-acclaimed releases over the past two years on such established and well-praised labels as Ad Noiseam, Ruff (Peace Off’s slow and nasty sister), Damage, Prspct & Sustained. Fall 2009 saw the release the retrospective Terminal Static on Ad Noiseam, with remixes by notable producers such as Hecq and I Am The Sun (Enduser and Casey Beagle). They are regularly featured in DJ sets and radio shows worldwide, counting tastemakers like Mary-Anne Hobbes and Rob Booth as supporters and fans. Along with a busy production schedule, Broken Note were featured prominently at festival gigs throughout 2009, with a headline sets on the Overkill stage at world-leading Glade Electronic Music Festival, Maschinenfest Industrial Festival, and various tours throughout Europe, North America, Scandinavia & Japan.

Their slower-tempo sound can loosely be described as Dubstep, but has little in common with much of the scene’s output. Instead they draw from the Sino-Rastafarian sound and heavy bass, combined with more of the kind of dark and aggressive beats that can be found in Breakcore and Jungle. Their Drum’n'Bass output is similarly disturbingly brutal, with undulating beats and bass that are unashamed to draw from the darker, edgier fringes of Gabber and Techno. Dancefloors worldwide have been set alight by the astonishing heaviness, inducing hallucinations of a dark and tech-saturated future.

Broken Note’s live sets use Ableton Live at the core alongside various midi controllers and FX sculpted by on-the-fly warping, cueing and live key work, intermingling many of their own tunes with edits of music created by the artists they draw inspiration from. Expect a mash-up of everything from dark Dubstep and Hardtekno, to the most evil D’n'B and Hardcore for a sonic experience that’s diverse and engaging.

You best believe Broken Note is that dark spreading tide set to further corrupt ears around the world. Get ready for it.

The brothers John and Paul Healy, collectively known throughout the world as Somatic Responses, are still native residents of a small industrial mining community snugly located in the southwest region of Wales. Somatic Responses are into complex dislocated & broken beats, distorted intelligent constructions, fascinating sonic structures, force and sweetness intertwined.

If their early productions were of the hardcore and techno kind, and while they later moved on to breakcore territories, Somatic Responses have now embraced more up-to-date and modern sounds and tackled the current dubstep sound that has taken their native UK by storm, and are ready to out-bass pretty much everybody else.

Mercury is definitely an important release for SR as it displays their progression further into dubstep & it’s ever mutating siblings. A shape of things to come AND some of their best material for some time.

You should know Jamie Vex’d as 1/2 of the amazing Vex’d project, mostly known for their seriously heavy, dark and noisey take on dubstep as expressed in their 2005 album Degenerate on Planet-Mu records.   He’s now putting out some solo material, and thus far it’s been pretty stellar.  This mix includes a few of those tracks plus a variety of excellent, new psychedelic dubstep sounds.  Enjoy!

J-Stat is a Detroit based producer who has been consistantly stepping up his game since I first heard him a few years back. His sound is a mutant hybrid of many styles – dubstep, techno, breakcore, industrial. The most impressive aspect of his sound is how fluidly he incorporates all of these sounds into something fresh, moving between different tempos and styles of syncopation. He normally can be heard playing at From The Gut related events in the Detroit area. Look out for an upcoming 7″ on No Room For Talent and some future releases on Void.

Broken Note are two London based producer/DJ’s – Lithium and Kidnappa – but known by there mummies as Tommy and Eddie. ’Dubversion/Mortal Bass’ is their debut 12″ record, and has been released on Peace-off‘s sublabel for all things slow and bassy – Ruff. This is some serious work – undulating twisted basslines and dark atmospheres. Fans of Vex’d and the Combat Recordings label grab this one immediately! Pick up their full length release at http://brokennote.bigcartel.com/product/broken-note-cd

Filthy, popping gabber kicks, tweaked glitch and a tribal-dubstep exoskeleton. Definitely one of the more interesting hyperdub permutations that has hit the streets recently. Fits well with the darker more mutant strains of dubstep, sort of like vex’d and grim dubs got skull disco knocked up. Anstam is both the label and the artist on this 12″, and aside from it coming from Germany, there’s not much more info floating around. I’m just guessing that we might see something at http://anstam.com/ before long.
