Inverted Audio - Troy Gunner Guest Mix


With his debut release at the end of last year on Indigo’s superb Mindset Records, Troy Gunner wowed us with his Fool’s Gold EP. Mixing extensive field samples with snippets of beats and rhythms, his fully-formed sound emerged somewhere in between the exquisite sample-work of Mount Kimbie and Synkro’s darker leanings, and his IA mix explores both these aspects to his style.

FACT MIX 353: SCUBA



A front-runner in dubstep since 2006 – though, of course, Scuba hasn’t actually made dubstep in quite some time – Paul Rose has steadily risen through the ranks of UK and European dance music, recent album Personality (not to mention the single that preceded it, ‘Adrenalin’) not just shedding any remaining dubstep skin, but casting off the preconceptions of being a Brit in Berlin. Personality was big, brash, often brilliant, and whatever you thought of it, proved one of 2012′s most talked about albums – no mean feat when dance music full-lengths so often fall into the predictable middle ground.

NSY006: Silent Dust & Zilla Rocca



Considered to be writing some of the most enigmatic and emotive music within 170 bpm bass music, Silent Dust have found favour amongst the genre’s most progressive taste makers. With their current output acclaimed as their best to date, the duo of Andy Hobbs and Dan Blishen have set a new precedent within what can only loosely be described as drum & bass. Championed by Marcus Intalex amongst others.

“Vostok 1” delivers stylistically the sound that found Silent Dust’s self titled album’s cult success. An ambient pulsating narrative to the pseudo sci-fi elation of the first human spaceflight. Musically outstanding, personally connective. Classic Silent Dust.

“Massive” is the wild card in Silent Dust’s musical entourage. No doubt inspired by US hip hop, the track enrolls the charismatic rap cryptology of Philadelphia’s noir hop originator Zilla Rocca. Determined not to be pigeon holed “Massive” has cinematic depth while still smashing the club sound system.

“We're taking each tune as it comes at the moment. The last few singles have been as diverse a selection of music as we've ever written, and this release continues down that road. It's been great to work with artists from outside the Drum & Bass scene... Trying to find a balance that inspires us both.” – Silent Dust
