February 01, 2013 04:48 AM PST
D.R.O.P.S is a recently formed collective of three like-minded, forward thinking musicians, Teksteppa, Cemtek and Arookai, with very different musical pasts. The sum of these parts equals a deep techy party vibe. Teksteppa has been producing DnB for a number of years, with releases on Blue Cheese Records, UKDNB and more. Recently his releases have gained DJ support from S.P.Y, Optiv, Muffler, AMC, Mutated Forms, Danny Wheeler, Hazard and Mind Vortex, amongst others. He has had tracks top out at numbers 11 and 32 in the Drum & Bass Arena charts.Teksteppa is a force to be reckoned with and it seems that this is just the beginning for him. Arookai AKA Mike Smythy has been heavily involved with the music industry for years and, although relatively new to DnB, has had countless releases on highly respected labels in other genres. He is an important part of the freeform hardcore scene, has had mixes featured in the top 5 dance compilations on iTunes and has played all over the UK. Arookai is a music junky, regardless of genre. Expect eclectic twisted sounds coming from his direction this year! Cemtek AKA Scott Geden is a purveyor of dirty, techy basslines and FX fuelled atmospheric naughtiness. When he is not glued to his studio he is usually found on the decks and has an extremely keen ear for music. His musical past has taken him through numerous production courses and after years of producing hip hop he has slowly moved towards DnB. Cemtek will become a name to look out for. Collectively they spend every waking minute in the studio, they have bookings coming up in London, Bristol and Stratford upon Avon and will be looking to release some serious sounds this year!

Bristol-based DJ, producer and AutomAte Tech label boss. Esion has been on the scene, under various aliases, for well over a decade. His DJ career has touched a long list of UK venues and has spanned a variety of genres including dnb, dubstep, breakbeat, hip-hop, hard dance, hardcore, freeform and techno. These days he plays mainly dark, techy & industrial dnb but expect surprises, he's just as likely to drop a cheeky glitch-hop or booty-shaking ghetto-funk track. Diversity is his middle name and he knows what an audience wants better than they know themselves. Esion is equally at home in the studio as on the decks, embracing the full range of technology from analogue synthesisers to digital outboard to modern software tools. As well as crafting his solo productions, he loves to collaborate and has worked with many artists across a variety of genres. Fast forward to the present day and Esion has finally put down some roots, establishing himself alongside Deficit as part of the AutomAte crew. The AutomAte Tech label is primarily his vision and demonstrates what drum & bass means to him. Esion - http://soundcloud.com/djesion, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Esion/141507600515

Deviant Nature A.K.A Jay O'Sullivan started writing electronic music toward the end of the 90's. It was an inevitable progression, he'd always been in love with music, and had been buying and mixing records since 1996. Jay's interest in creative expression has been the catalyst for numerous projects, gigs and collaborations across several genres and aliases. For his Deviant Nature persona, the main focus is the the darker realms of drum n bass: a tapestry of powerful beats, nasty basslines, rib-rattling subs, brain tweaking synths and a certain twisted funk that makes you want to simultaneously smile and grimace. Bass Face! Resident with Sub:Bass:Invaders and owner of Blackbelt Recordings, Deviant Nature is also currently working with This Chris, together forming Smash Syndicate. Current & future projects include DnB, drumstep and fresh dubstep material including collaborations with vocalists & other musicians. Lots of exciting stuff in the pipeline from both Smash Syndicate & Deviant Nature in the near future.

November 28, 2011 11:07 AM PST
Shuffling Strangefoot is a producer, DJ & enthusiast of twisted dance music from across the gamut. At 19 years old, he was pummeling punters at local raves, mixing up 45min cavalcades of his own tunes. Fast forward several years, and he has matured and developed a repertoire of dance music that isn’t easily nestled into one genre; or in his own words, "I can't write dubstep for shit." He's a mix and mastering engineer for his peers, providing sound design, soundtracks & audio post-production for short films and has even found his way onto BBC Radio. Now residing and performing in Brighton, he's also one third of Sshwob, a collective of live improvisers who recently caused a sensation with a live audio/visual remix of the cult film, Koyaanisqatsi. For this mix, Strangefoot pulls out a few recent favourites from a selection of Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Crunk and Drumstep. 2012 is going to be a busy one. The first thing to drop will be Defazed's skull-cracking remix of Strangefoot’s ‘Universal Something’ on Trust In Music (the original version can be purchased via the bandcamp link below), and there's plenty more live work, remixes, and releases to follow.

Tim (Intent 2 Supply) - "Nyx has been a resident for Intent for the past 2 years. Her heavy, techy style and flamboyant nature behind the decks always hypes the crowd into a frenzy of cheers and rewinds. Nyx can definitely hold her own in this male dominated scene".

Podcast SummaryWe aim to release a podcast every couple of months, featuring a variety of established and up&coming artists that we find inspiring. We share a mutual love of dark, techy drum & bass, although we are involved with a range of other bass-led genres. We DJ and write music individually and together. We run the AutomAte family of digital labels, including AutomAte, AutomAte Deep and AutomAte Tech. AutomAte aims to bring you the best in edgy drum & bass, aimed square at the dancefloor, from rising stars to established artists, from chunky steppers to dark rollers and all manner of other fancy-ticklers. The parent label has already chalked up Radio 1 airplay from Friction and has caught the attention of more DJs than you could shake a stick-insect at. The Deep label aims to put the warmth back into drum & bass with a range of deep, eclectic, inspirational music, influenced by anything from the Far East to South America and everything in between. AutomAte Deep will be launched in early 2013 and has already picked up Radio 1 airplay from Nihal plus support from Raiden, EBK, Morphy, The Untouchables, Mental Forces, J Robinson, Ortokore, Philth, Stunna, Marukomu, Dexta & Mauoq (Diffrent Music). The Tech label showcases a variety of gritty drum & bass music, from amen tracks and heavy-steppers to neuro and hardcore styles. We like it grimy with a slight attitude problem and an infectious groove. Supporters include Bailey, Kenny Ken, Raiden, EBK, June Miller, Inside Info, Gremlinz, Stranjah, Chris Su, Nyx, Amoss, NC-17, Billion (Fathom Audio), Arclight, John Rolodex, Phil Hustle, Hyroglifics, Bad Education, Cursa, AbleDanger, C-Sonix, Philth, Retraflex, Fearful, Ben Fawce and more. We've taken over a drum & bass dnb forum / website and will be slowly breathing new life into it. We intend to move the site towards being more content-based, meaning exclusive mixes, tunes, discounts, give-aways and competitions, as well as being a go-to place for events, radio, podcasts, tunes, advice and banter. Podcasts and the forthcoming record label will provide exciting opportunities for DJs and producers alike. For the promoters amongst you, we'll be looking at ways to increase site traffic and get your info out to more people. Come and join the party at http://www.drumandbassmovement.com Please send tracks & demos to demos@automatednb.co.uk. To book an AutomAte artist, contact bookings@automatednb.co.uk.
