[PL009] _ The SubDivision presents: Interpretazioni EP ft. Rogue Star, Lone Wolf, Djunya & Vesicle by ParadiseLostRecordings

The SubDivision round up some of some of dubstep’s heaviest and dirtiest mercenaries for the latest Paradise Lost offering of 4 remixes on the Interpretazioni EP.

Roguestar starts things off with what can only be considered an epic remix of an already epic track, Devil’s Kiss. Full throttle from the start and straddling the line between dubstep and breakstep, this track will appeal to anyone needing to destroy the floor at 3AM.

Lonewolf goes dirt for his remix of The Messenger, bringing the heat with his notorious filthy style, incorporating heavy synths with nasty breaks.

On the flip, Djunya takes things to the dark side of dub, with his re-take on the bizzarely spacey Elephant Walk. Currently a favorite of DJs pushing the deeper sounds, Djunya brings in heavy reverbs, 8-bit stabs, and his trademark bassline business to produce a brilliant and complex sound.

Vesicle round off the release with what might be their heaviest production yet on the remix of The Rose.

Junglist vibes and bass terrorism combine to produce devastating material showing off the impressive skills of these up-and-comers from Finland. With something for everyone on this release, Paradise Lost is going from strength to strength.

Very exciting news on the way about this years summer shows, but for now check out what we’ve done so for….

Head straight to the videos

We have been waiting an awfully long time for an album by the cryptically original dynamite duo of Doctor Blam and Professor Plato, but following a bolt all doors weekend of intense scratching and philosophy, we are well on our way to hearing it.

The Norwegian natives brought their unique flavours to London to record the album alongside NozL Recordings pair, Maroon and Lone Wolf. There were some sizzling cuts laid down and we just cannot wait until it finally hits the vinyl cutting room!!!

Lone Wolf buzzed about very conspicuously recording footage of the long weekend and has pieced it together to form a mini documentary for your enjoyment for the now and as a mouth watering taster of what will be powering it’s way into record shops in mid 2010!

One word… AWESOME

Vimeo and You Tube… search for NozL

Help us try and push the video by pasting the embedded links on your forums and sites and telling your chums and aunty Ethel to watch it so they can understand why we all like skratching so much!

We don’t think we’ve heard many more sincere ways to describe the way in which we like scratching than these two incredible guys have shown in the film.

Long live Blam and Plato.

Our ever-busy Lone Wolf has recently teamed up with local Sunderland professional boxer Paul Holborn and long time friend Mojo Media to work on an ongoing project with Paul.

We’re thrilled to announce that the video for his new website which will be unveiled at some point this week courtesy of Mojo Media, has now been finished!  Lone Wolf has produced the one-off banging custom beat especially and also edited/recorded the high paced footage.

Paul is, as Glenn McCrory described on Sky Sports, a “classy boxer” and boxing fans will remember his good showing at the Prizefighter (lightweight) series on Sky Sports as well recently.

Keep an eye out for him on the next live broadcasts on Sky and help show your support!
