Slash Dot Dash Podcast 007: Dead Sound

Since it's relaunch, Slash Dot Dash has been all about 3 things, Dub, Techno and Industrial. Kenneth Christiansen brought the dub, everyone else has brought the techno, but now it's time for us to represent the industrial side through our podcast series.

Hailing from Stoke in the North of the UK, Dead Sound, is a fusion of 4/4 techno and broken beat experimentalism. Taking influences from UK EDM and Berlin's stand out techno sound to create Industrial techno different from any other. Unlike most industrial producers he doesn't rely on relentless, high octane banging, preferring to keep the tempo's steady and let the use of effects and intelligent programming produce big dancefloor reactions.

This talent has been recognised, and snapped up, by one of the UKs best labels, Perc Trax, and with his production partner, Videohead, they've remixed releases from Go Hiyama and Samuli Kemppi and PT048 saw their first solo project featuring 5 forward thinking tracks.

For the Slash Dot Dash Podcast 007, the award winning turntablist has compiled a selection of his own tracks for this mix, and once you press play, it's easy to see why Dead Sound has a big future ahead of him and we're delighted to be featuring him in our series. You can stream or download the mix from the soundcloud player below or you can subscribe and download from iTunes.

Dead Sound & Videohead - The Chosen [Perc Trax 048]

Industrial action is somewhat the sign of the times from Perc Trax of late and thankfully we're not talking about them going on strike. Recent releases from Forward Strategy Group and of course Perc's very own debut album, 'Wicker & Steel' have set the standard for things to come.

Perc Trax 048 sees a first release from new boys Dead Sound & Videohead, although it's not their first outing on the label after their recent remixes for Go Hiyama and Samuli Kemppi's 'Arabia EP' that came out on Perc Trax last month. If you was impressed by that then you'll discover similar feelings when listening to this one too.

Hailing from Stoke and fusing influences of experimental music with a wealth of techno knowledge from the UK and Berlin sounds to create something that is different and exciting, when lined up against your run of the mill attempts at industrial techno.

To go along with the release, a video of 'The Chosen Path' has been assembled and uploaded to youtube.

The release is out on Beatport now and will be in vinyl stores imminently. More info on Perc Trax can be found on their Facebook Pan Page

Samuli Kemppi - Arabia EP [Perc Trax 046]

Out on Beatport last Friday and on vinyl very soon, is the new Perc Trax release by our favourite Finlander, Samuli Kemppi. 2 Tracks from the man himself and a remixes by Donor & Truss and Dead Sound & Videohead make for an all round extremely solid release. Which is definitely what we've come to expect from both Samuli Kemppi and Perc Trax.
