New Epoch is by far and away Goth-Trad’s most complete piece of work to date, showcasing what he is has learnt in his years of producing, touring, playing live and remixing. The album features eleven superbly and delicately crafted tracks. From the opener Man In the Maze full of beautifully dark, emotional strings and pulsating, mesmerizing groove to the intense synthesizer stabs and pure dance-floor mayhem of the Mirage - one of the strongest tracks that has been firing in heavy rotations from Mala and Kode9 - to the title track New Epoch which defines a producer digging through different styles, experiences and cultures to find himself now one of the most unique artists within the scene and beyond.
“To be honest with you I'm not listening to Dubstep that much, the whole reason I got into making Dubstep is because it's free. You can do anything with it. Take it all sorts of directions…. I'm always looking for more directions and styles within my work, but I'm not really thinking I'm doing Dubstep. I'm just doing my sound. I've been doing this style of music for almost ten years and I just say all this music is bass music. I'm putting a lot of variety into the new album. Some tunes are very techie, some tunes are much more experimental, a bit glitchy. There may be some more banging stuff. I've lots of ideas to keep moving with.” New Epoch indeed!

Superb, fresh vibrant future Dubstep from Japan, this guy was producing the tuff stuff way back when it was a burgeoning whisper on the fringes of the London Grime scene. Now he leads the way down new paths yet again, a forest of sound and exciting rhythms/textures that reminds you why the thing they called Dubstep went viral in the first place....on Zen master Mala's scene stealing Deep Medi too.....check this out.
