Fantastic Mr Fox started producing 7 years ago at the age of 14, with his music first being picked up in 2006 by Radio 1’s Steve Lamacq.

Regular support of his early leftfield hip-hop productions from Mr Lamacq helped lead to remix work for Maps, Shitdisco, Just Jack, Soweto Kinch, Polar Bear, Fulborn Teversham, Kid Harpoon, Julia Biel, Riz MC, The Carps, Make Model, The Cansecos, Marissa Nadler, Son Lux and most recently Untold & LV.

Following his remix of Untold’s “Yukon” Fantastic Mr Fox decided to up the tempo of his productions and his first two efforts, produced along side Manchester DJ, promoter and producer Rich Reason, were signed to Untold’s Hemlock label.

A second collaborative release with Rich Reason was put out on Black Acre, whilst FMF’s remix of LV-“Don’t Judge” will soon be available on 2nd Drop Records.

Fantastic Mr Fox’s first solo release is also now finished, with the “Sketches EP” due to be released on Black Acre towards the end of 2009.

CLUBROOT - Clubroot
LO DUBS
CD // £12.99
DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Jun 2009
Catalogue Number: LODUBSD09002CD


Fans of Burial, take note.

Lo Dubs come correct this week with a hugely enticing and anticipated album from Clubroot. Clubroot has apparently been producing for the best part of the decade, initially constructing tech step D'n'B indebted to the likes of Nico, Ed Rush and Optical but shifting his palette to the dominant dubstep style in recent years.

To sum up Clubroots sound as succinctly as possible, it's like the perfect hybrid of Burial and Kryptic Minds, taking the mood driven atmospheres and quicksilver slink of Burial and alloying it to dynamic basslines and intricately produced rhythm structures.

This combination is explored through ten tracks united by a singular rhythmic vision in thrall to classic darkside dance music and operating under the cover of severely occluded atmospheres. With Mary-Anne Hobbs fully on his case and forums across the interweb quickly catching onto his sound it's not going to be long before he's soundtracking every channel four ident so make sure to get in early! Essential recommendation for fans of Burial!!!

This is a 70 minute mix of many of my favourite old Jungle records I listened to growing up in London. You'll have to excuse the quality in parts as some of my old records are a little scratchy. I've approached this one differently from the first mix I did for 'ELECTRONIC EXPLORATIONS,' with that one I was layering lots of elements to make something new. This time I've pretty much left the tracks to speak for themselves, as when I was listening to these the first time around there was only so much you could do with each mix. And many tracks like the Omni Trio and Photek stuff are structured so well there's nothing I would want to change anyway.

F - The Untitled Dub / Phantom
7EVEN
12″ // £5.49
DUBSTEP / GRIME
Released: Jan 2009
Catalogue Number: 7EVEN06

F kicks off the year for bass musics with a hefty thump of techno sculpted dubstep pressure for 7even records in shocking style. This plate has been giving us itchy feet for a time now, with our promo copies practically worn through due to the play-it-again! factor on both sides.

‘The Untitled Dub’ is a club wrecking masterpiece, marrying speaker puncturing dub stabs to a bulbous bass swoop and febrile percussive syncopations for a rhythm to get completely lost in. Imagine Throsten Profrock’s Erosion series making GM babies with Martyn and you’re almost there.

We really can’t get enough of ‘Phantom’ on the flipside either, taking a slightly more subdued approach the focus here is on the pitching and deeply swung percussion, incorporating intricate timbres of sub-continental rollidge with heavier kick/snare kinks and a swooning dub tech atmosphere, allowing your head to roll at quarter time while your limbs move to whichever rhythm you fancy picking up on.

This one reminds us of old style Pole dragged up to speed for 2009. With Funky twocking a lot of attention from the dubstep scene (and rightly so) for it’s return to percussive priorities, we urge you to check out the rhythms on this badboy to redress the balance! Wicked ‘n Bad!



F - Phase One / Icon
7EVEN
12″ // £5.49
DUBSTEP / GRIME
Released: Sep 2008
Catalogue Number: 7EVEN04

Pristine dubstepXtechno depth from France’s finest exponents of the good stuff, 7even recordings.

In the space of only four releases the label has fast become something to get excited about with a deep and driving dubstep aesthetic closely aligned to the styles of Peverelist, Scuba or a more technofied Martyn.

This is the first release from F and it’s a certified winner, shaping two tracks of chords driven 140bpm dub techno with skipping garage movements and full sunken dubstep subs that’s an absolute pleasure to bust a flex to. If you’re into this stuff, do yourself a favour and get one nabbed. Killer.

Bristol underground music event organisers Freq. Happenings and
Killings have joined forces to promote another formidable line up of
artists showcasing some of British electronic music’s finest acts.





Boxcutter



Sunken Foal



The Gasman



Appleblim



Mark Swift



Gareth Clarke



Mount Kimbie



Jilk & Tulin Fée



Rocket Number 9



Filaria



Kinego Flux





The night is a fundraiser for the Malawi Education Project, a Bristol
based charity which promotes literacy and learning in one of the worlds
poorest countries. The events began life as a method of gathering much
needed funds for the project but as they have grown, they evolved to
become a vessel for raising awareness to both the plight of the people
of Malawi and the great work that the charity do there.



The show of support by underground electronic music artists has been
overwhelming and all the acts that have agreed to play at this, and
past fundraisers, are waivering their fee as a contribution to the
charity.



This is the blueprint for things to come. We already have a plethora of
acts queuing up to play at the next events and we are indebted to all
for showing their support and making the work at the charity more
possible and in doing so, raising the profile of the important work
that the charity do day to day.





The Croft. Saturday 7th February. 21.00 – 04.00





Tickets £7 advance £8 on the door.
