Review: With previous releases on Lifestyle Music, Cyberfunk, Boey Audio and others over the last couple of years, Chris Rudge aka Koax makes his solo debut on Subconscious Audio here with the seething neurofunk of "Control". Said to have a history in death metal bands in the Bristol area, you can hear where Rudge got his dark tendencies from. The next offering "Slope" is another example of finely executed doom and gloom, taking the sound of techstep into murky and atmospheric waters - serious!
Review: Following the label's launch in February, Subconscious Audio slam down a deadly 002 release with Bristol lads Dedman and Sudley. Continuing the label's dark, driving theme, 'Kazuki' kicks off the EP on a Spectrasoul-style dark, tense feeling while 'Untouchable' signs out with a more introspective, mournful vibe. Deep rolling hypnosis with plenty of harmonics. Just how we like them.
Review: This VA EP from Subconscious Audio is a wicked showcase of what creative producers can do with the minimal template, as 1 moves between sub-genre influences as diverse as liquid to jump up. 'Dark Spice' is pure gas, as a loping, heavyweight bassline touches down again and again, a relentless monotony that grinds you down with its sheer size and heft. Female vocal samples are ever present on this release and they juxtapose with the black sparseness of their surroundings, something especially apparent on 'Nightshift Kru', which packs a fat set of drums, a sub-heavy low end and shining vocals in the tops. Unreal release and an unmissable album from Subconscious crew. Bigups.
