First of our showcase mixes for Chapter Two: ‘The Soldier’ comes from Deadboy. This soundboy channels luscious soul and swing through bass and synth-driven 2-step. We welcome Deadboy to the party.
Check out the mix Deadboy did for Get Me (download HERE) or Fact Magazine (download HERE and HERE) for a taste of things to come.
And here’s a scatty banger from the boy himself.

We’ve been lucky enough to get mentions in a number of different magazine and on a couple of blogs in the last week. A huge thanks to Lisa for all the work she did – we love you girl!
Time Out: London
“A brand new night that launches tonight with one of our tips for 2010, Hyperdub’s Ikonika, in the top slot tonight with her groovesome and dark dubstep beats. She’s flanked by ‘the UK’s answer to DJ Shadow’, Paul White, and The Village Orchestra, with soulboy electronica and techno, while DJs including Another Amit (Man Make Music) dig through old school jungle to new school funky upstairs.”

Spoonfed
“More good stuff at the Russian. State present hyperdub’s Ikonika headlining. Glitchy dubby hip hopster Paul White and Scottish electronic virtuoso The Village Orchestra provide the support. All are playing proper 2 hour sets”.
Wonderful podcast-mix recorded for STATE by Borland. Watch them run crashing through the genres in this well-fun set from January 2010.
Borland will be opening the main-room at STATE: Chapter One at 10pm on Saturday 30th January, and opening the bassment at 11pm.
