Manchester based lyricist/producer SKITTLES has been making tidal waves in world music over the past 12 months both in the studio and on the stage.
Estate Recording return with a long awaited album that will be remembered for time, 'skittles' Poor with £100 trainers' does not follow suit and does not conform to any category or genre. His hard hitting' razor sharp delivery makes it impossible for you not to relate as he explains some unheard views of the world over a wide range of sounds that unfortunately, (due to him not really singing) will be referred to as hip-hop
imagine a piece of classical music, put it in a blender and add some reggae/ska to it, throw a load of broken instruments in the mix and a few proper cold rappers, sprinkle in some grime an a vinyl,add a bit of pop an pulse until smooth, an you will have nothing like what this album is. If there's nothing for you on this album, your a dick!
Production duties are taken care of by SKITTLES himself along with few collaborations with the likes of DUB PHIZIX, DRS and CHIMPO. features come from man like MR FOX (fresh from his cameo on the ZED BIAS & OMAR damager 'Dance') and FALlACY (Black market boy, groundbreaker, big & bashy),

Dispatch 52 - Dabs - Subsidiary EP - Drum and Bass

 

Here we present an EP from arguably Italy's finest D&B producer. We never originally planned to do an EP but we became so stoked with the progression of the each track that this superb artist kept sending us that an EP slowly but surely started to make common sense!

Dabs gets started on what is gradually becoming a big one "Subsidiary" from which the entire EP takes its title. We've also drafted in a collab with another name on everyones lips too 'Amoss' join forces on "Stendhal", whilst K-Mag's one to watch for 2012 'Safire' goes to work alongside Dabs on "Time Carrier" to great effect. Last but not least Survival and label boss Ant TC1 go to work on an earlier release from Dabs along with Cern on their original track "Oh the Horror" who give the track a darker more jungle driven twist!

LOVE THIS ONE! Davide Rustici aka Dabs, is an italian exciting new talent in the new-school dnb camp. His dj attitude got himself to play all over Italy, Europe and Australia with his fresh funk drum and bass rhythms sets. As producer, he got his first releases on Basswerk in 2007. Winner of the prestigious italian contest Elettrowave Challenge 2008 as "best dnb italian dj-producer", he signed a brilliant single (Crawler - Weirdraws) on the notorious dutch label Citrus, receiving massive dj support all around the world.

That was followed by two 12" in collaboration with the kiwi legend Cern, on the mighty Leeds based Dispatch Recordings amongst other releases on Triple Vision's dutch group and other european labels. For 2011-12 the pipeline sees the heavily supported remix of 'Back In the Grind' with Cern, a solo 4 tracks EP on Dispatch, a single 12" on the respected Horizons Music (London) and some collabo's and remixes with the likes of Cause4Concern, Bulletproof, June Miller, Amoss and Future Signal to name but a few.

 In the years he received big support from big artists like Laurent Garnier, Ed Rush & Optical, Andy C, Cause4Concern, Dj Marky, Chris.SU, State Of Mind to name but a few, and took care of a remix for the mainstream italian band Subsonica for EMI. 2011 is the year of the born for Avantgarde, his own label in co-ownewrship with the long time friend Grotesque. The first 12" will see the light in late 2011, with stars like the russian Enei and Heavy1 involved. Watch this space!
