- OVERLORD EP -
Eptic is baaaack!
He's been tabbling with a few singles and collabs but hasn't given us a proper EP for a while... Until now!
Here he is with the Overlord EP. 6 tracks of various types of Bass music and also teaming up with fellow Never Say Die producer, Habstrakt.

- YOUR SYSTEM -
He still producing nothing but quality dubstep. There's no need for him to step out of the box and try anything else because his signature sound is so unique.

- ULTIMATE -
Xilent is back with another monsterous Neuro/Chunky/Banging Dubstep track.
As per usual it's a really clean and cutting production, watch it climb to the top of the charts on Never Say Die Records!

- LAXX MIXES UP FOR UKF -
(photo from Vibe)
LAXX, the new sound of Trap?
This guy is on some next level production, but what genre box are you placing him into? He's got me constantly looking for more of his music, whether it's his older stuff of just keeping up to date with his new releases. He brings a creative new sound to Never Say Die records (the label he is currently signed under) - one that is unique to the label and in fact to the trap scene in general.
Lets see what you think with his newest mix for UKF

- A CHAT WITH DODGE AND FUSKI -
This week I was lucky enough to have a chat with UK Dubstep heavyweights Dodge and Fuski. I've been dying to catch up with these guys for the past year so I was stoked to get the interview. I love their individual production style and their music has shitloads of personality.

------------------------------------------------
1. Dodge, tell us how your career as a producer started. Has it always been bass music for you guys?
I started making questionable hiphop in college about 10 years ago, while Fuski started making tunes on a Casio keyboard at the age of around 13, performing sellout shows to his parents in the living room. Bass music has always been a passion of ours but not our only love.

2. I heard a rumour of a slight name change for you guys, can you tell us what exactly is happening with that?
We've simply shortened it to DNF. Although we're still Dodge & Fuski, we're diversifying our sound and wish to move away from solely being known as dub step producers.
3. Describe your sound in 3 words...
That's a difficult question as our sound has changed so much throughout the existence of Dodge & Fuski / DNF. As there was never really a 'lead' producer and there were always 2 of us to doing our own thing I think it's quite hard to coin what the 'Dodge & Fuski sound' really is…
4. This is a question for both of you individually... If you had to eat one cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
Somebody told us once you could survive on just Guiness.
5. Music production time. What software and VST's are you using to design your sound?
Mainly massive and fabfilter plugins (totally unpredictable we know). We've been using Cubase for years as we were taught at a college for blind people and Cubase was the only sequencer they had that had text to speech functionality and we've stuck with it since.
6. Who do you guys listen to for inspiration?
At the moment, a lot of old American hiphop like classic Premier tracks
7. What artist/band/DJ, dead or alive, would you give anything to see live?
There's one that stands out in James Brown who is a stand out. Otherwise Mediks :)
8. What is this news I've heard about you guys kicking off a new record label project?
We started Disciple Recordings earlier this year as a joint venture with the label to which we're signed-Never Say Die as a way to start diversifying our sound. It's going amazingly well considering how many releases we've had and we can't believe some of the people we've had involved so far (and to come)...
9. Dodge and Fuski's current top 5 tracks...
Astronaut - Pinball
Pretty much everything by MUST DIE
Skism - Elixir VIP
The McMash Clan - Rain
Krewella - Alive (Pegboard Nerds remix)
10. And finally... Whats next for Dodge and Fuski???
We'll be touring a lot more in the coming year, starting off with North America in September. Our next single is a collab with Culprate which is coming out on the 9th September which will be accompanied by a music video we're really excited about. That'll be followed up by an EP towards the end of the year featuring some fantastic remixes from top artists.
We've also done a few remixes ourselves and are working on more sample CDs. We haven't forgotten about the production tutorials either….

- REANIMATED EP -
This UK producer has utterly blown the F up over the past 2 years. After being signed to Skism's label Never Say Die he has released non stop Dubstep bangers that are getting love from all over the world.
he's not stopping either.
Here is his next EP teaser which he has named "Reanimated EP"

- THE LOST DUBS -
These boys have been hiding for quite sometime as the Dubstep scene has been changing. Since their last album, the sound of Dubstep has separated into so many sub-genres, this has led us to believe that it has sort of become something different to what it used to be when it started flying out of England 15 years ago.
These boys are keeping that great UK sound and expanding it to sound better. Check out this teaser of their new album which drops about half way through August.

- A CHAT WITH EPTIC -
The Belgian Dubstep master
We were lucky enough to have a little chat with the man himself. So check out the interview and promo video for his new EP below!
Q - The last little while has been crazy for you and Never Say Die. Can you fill us in with some of your highlights? Have you been places and done things that you wouldn't have expected?
A - The word "crazy" doesn't even do it anymore. Last year has been mental! I've been traveling so much and talking to so many people I look up to. Highlights were playing for 6000 people at Rampage in Belgium, making music with different producers I love, and doing New Year's Eve in Canada! I'm sure my tour of Australia will be crazy as well!
Q - Tell us about the Bass music scene you've experienced. Where is it huge and where is it behind?
A - Most parties are mental! I don't really have a place that I dislike. Belgium, France and Canada were the highlights of this year.
Q - Whats program and plug-ins are you using to write your tunes?
A - I use Ableton and most plugins that are built into it. I also use Massive for almost everything synth related, and I can't live without the transient shaper from Shaack Audio anymore.
Q - If you had to describe your sound in 3 words, what would they be???
Q - If you had to describe your sound in 3 words, what would they be???
A - Golden disco dolphin.
Q - Tell us one artist/band/DJ, dead or alive, that you would do anything to see live...
A - I would love to travel back in time and see an early Beastie Boys show. Those guys are my heroes. I would love to catch a Daft Punk show as well!
Q - Who's the new hot talent of 2013?
A - For me, I would say The Frim. I don't know what that bastard is up to, but he's got my attention!
Q - When can we expect you in Aus again?
A - I'm coming to Australia later this week! I'll be playing shows in Melbourne (April 19), Sydney (April 24) and Perth (April 27)! I'm very excited! The Aussie crowd is mental!
Q - Who is one artist that you would love to colaberate with?
A - Original Sin or Doctor P. I can't decide!
Q - What's your favourite track on your iPod right now?
A - "Childhood Memories" by Rockwell featuring Kito & Sam Frank.
Q - Who do you listen to for inspiration?
A - I mostly listen to disco songs in my spare time, to be honest...ha ha ha!
When it comes to electronic music, Original Sin and DJ Hazard are still my main inspiration.

Q - . And finally, what's next for Eptic???
A - I have a new EP coming out called "Mastermind" on May 6th, and I have two tracks ("Deathray" and "Gutter") on the Never Say Die compilation CD which comes out on April 21st. I'm also working on a ridiculous amount of collaborations and new songs! So keep an eye out for my new material over the next few weeks!
