The Italian drum and bass label Avantgarde, founded by Dabs and Grotesque, returns to the world of drum and bass in June 2013 with a brand new release.
Label boss Dabs steps up with a remix of Eastcolour's track "I Don't Know Why" bringing a soulful cocktail of the two's trademark styles. On the flip Quadrant and Iris prsents a deeper VIP of their track Sparse. DJ support for the tune is already heavy, with plays from the likes of Need For Mirrors, June Miller, Mefjus, Cern, Nymfo, Mortem and Sabre. Don't sleep on this one!
Zul (Subvert HQ, Singapore) has been DJing and promoting parties in the Lion City since the 1990s, performing along side the likes of dBridge, DJ Friction, Joe Syntax, Stamina MC, John B, A-Sides, Pendulum, Cyantific, Sonic, London Elektricity as well as Logistics and Hospital Records' Chris Goss. Gigs-wise, its gone from Hong Kong (he spent time with the White Label crew in 2001), Jakarta to London (playing at the legendary Hospitality parties in Shoreditch, UK) with bits of radio (MediaCorp Radio's Lush 99.5FM Clubscape sessions, to be exact) and a release on Take Off Records squeezed in between.
When not busy with his day job as a journalist in Singapore, Zul also keeps it cutting edge away from the dance floor with the Subvert Sessions Podcast (download via subverthq.blogspot.sg), blending together leftfield and idiosyncratic beats of the 170bpm variety.
