A discordant balance between
atmospheric melodic sounds
and harder bass…

Words: Natasha Stokes

Dub techno has become an amorphous phrase, basically the genre given to those analogue experiments on the electronic 4/4. The Marx Trukker is one of those treading the far left of classic, maintaining form with techno basslines textured by crackles and tape delays, and a clear addiction to analogue noise makers.

A truly organic sound…

Words: Hector Westropp

To many, the French born ‘EDA’ is a relative unknown. In terms of success, his achievements to date are relatively low-key; some festivals and appearances on DJ sites and a few higher end parties around Europe. I would urge you, however, to not write off the name all that fast if you know what’s good for you; sometimes you have to dig a little deeper to find a truly organic sound the likes of which EDA produces in such abundance.
