With dubstep producing truly exciting moments with less frequency these days, Compa is someone you can look to for remarkable flashes of low-end inspiration. The Lancashire DJ/producer has developed a rolling, highly-percussive style that's all his own, with riddims coming wrapped in dusty crackle, shot through with jolts of electricity and underlined by subtle, subby tremors. He strikes the perfect balance between classic, meditative dubstep and the genre's more recent dungeon offshoot, which is eerie and unsettling.
Following 12" cuts via his own WXWL label as well as Boka and Kokeshi, he's been newly signed to Mala's Deep Medi imprint, perhaps the most revered seal of approval in true-skool dubstep circles.
It's testament to Compa's creativity that his Mix Of The Week comes packed with his own productions, many unreleased. There's a real sense of style and purpose as well as the feeling that he's got dubs for days. New tunes like 'Exist' and 'Bullets' slide into collaborations with Widowmaker and Ipman as well as cheeky, dancefloor-ready bootlegs of Faithless and Kanye and remixes of Digital Mystikz and Congo Natty. It says something that when we had to postpone releasing the mix for a week, Compa remade the recording with fresh dubplates he'd just got cut. The 21 year old is definitely on a mission to prove there's still fresh ideas to be mined from dubstep...

1. Faithless - Insomnia (Forthcoming WXWL)

Featuring 40 tracks from experimental artists from around the world, SEQUENCE6 is a more experimental album than its predecessors, pushing into darker more inquisitive environments and making it harder to pin down into one particular genre. With over 160 track submissions, curatorially we've been even tougher than ever in our selections - again, pushing this edition to be even better than the last, and represent the sheer volume and breadth of great experimental music out there.
As ever, tracks from established artists are juxtaposed with those of emerging artists. One of the best things with the submission process is being exposed to new music each time, discovering new artists whose work you can fall in love with, there are a few artists this time who I would like to work with on individual releases. The element of discovery continues to be the main driver for the series, and we hope the listener enjoys the same experience.
It's nearly 2 years since the first edition of the SEQUENCE series was released. SEQUENCE6 marks something of a completion of a cycle, the cadence in a musical phrase perhaps. That's not to say that this will be the last in the series, but something about it feels like a landmark; just because you've reached the top of the mountain, doesn't mean you never want to climb again.

Techno legend A Guy Called Gerald presents his own brand of brawny bass lines in his latest mix. As he puts it, this one " take's it down lower bass to the bone". Listen HERE.
Hydro's forthcoming 12" with War & Mateba "Black light" / "Enlightenment" is causing a real buzz. To support this release, he's fashioned together Horizons Music's latest podcast. Full of fresh tunes, with music forthcoming on Horizons Music / Symmetry / Dispatch & Metalheadz over the next couple months this mix is a serious onslaught of quality beats.
For four decades David Rodigan has embraced reggae music with an enthusiasm that should inspire fans of any genre: He still considers himself a fan and goes to the trouble of collecting autographs every time he meets an artist he admires. As fans listeners will attest, autographs aren’t the only thing he collects: across his years DJing reggae on Radio London, Capital, Kiss and BBC Radio 1xtra, not to mention countless soundclashes, he’s built up a fearsome collection of oneaway dubplates from some of reggae’s biggest names. For over an hour, Rodigan brings out dubplates from Barrington Levy, Shaggy and more, blending old and new school reggae with his signature toasting, and it’s just perfect. No one – and we mean no one – does it like him.

Here's something you don't usually see on these pages. Tomáš Dvořák aka Floex - clarinetist, composer, producer and multimedia artist from Prague (Czech Republic) - specializes in jazz tinged electronic music. On this album (originally released in 2001), he mixes intricate songs with a set of short, experimental soundscapes. It's miles away from the hullaballoo of bass music we usually feature in these pages. But - and I can't stress this enough - this album is something you should really take some time to listen to and let it all sink in. The melodies are gorgeous, equal parts Cinematic Orchestra and Bonobo but done in a style uniquely his own. Listen to the samples below, and get buying.

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.
