This mix is made up of tracks all written in the last year and shows the more frenetic side of my music. I'm from a Techno and Electro background (Real Electro NOT Electro House Bo!!ocks!) but dubstep has totally opened up another level of syncopation for me so I'm really enjoying the ryhthmic freedom i have, (I'm also a Drummer) and of course the cavernous low end as always.... Hope you like it. Al

DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY
Released: Oct 2009
Catalogue Number: PIPS008
Deep tripping techy styles from Apple Pips with their second drop of the week. Al Tourettes hails from Bristol and follows in that rich heritage of electronically enhanced bass music, folowing the tech-stepping lineage from the Full Cycle crew or Tech Itch through to Peverelist and RSD with two intricately programmed and darkly tinted killers.
‘Dodgems’ on the A-side is more compatible for the dubstep crew with skittering 140bpm syncopations also belying an electro influence from the likes of Two Lone Swordsmen and Ae, while the flipside cuts into a tricky techno groove reminding of Kontext with a more driving intent. If you’ve checked any of Appleblim’s DJ sets recently you’ll have no doubt heard both these cuts rinsed out.
