...according to our Ant on 12 June 2008.

I've been really taken by the recent Appleblim Dubstep Allstars mix. One track in particular is the Martyn track 'Surbubia' which we have in on Bristol label Apple Pips. Martyn is a dutch producer but his sound fits wonderfully into the Bristol Dubstep/ dub techno scene that includes Shackleton, Peverealist, Pinch etc. The A side is a sweet blend of garage, Kevin Saunderson style bassline and dubby house .'Suburbia' wears its Berlin dub techno influence on its sleeve with a rolling beat that drips with funk. Neither track here will blow your socks off but they just gently work their way into your consciousness. Very good.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Appleblim’s forward thinking new label has been set up to explore the areas between dubstep, techno, minimal and house with an emphasis on echo, depth, swing and bass. The first release comes from renowned Dutch producer Martyn, who typifies the same new feeling in clubland that has seen Shackleton grace the stage at house & techno institution Saturdays at Fabric, and the likes of Luciano and Villalobos dropping dubstep. With his sets ranging from garage and 2step to broken beat to upfront minimal house, Martyn’s productions also reflect this open-minded approach to music. ‘All I Have Is Memories’ is built around a hypnotic almost trancey riff, with Martyn’s trademark layered and chopped beats and a solid wall of Reese bass underneath. Panning and filtering echo-laden effects around the mix, Martyn’s production combines dub effects with the emotion of Detroit techno. ‘Suburbia’ is featured on Appleblim’s forthcoming ‘Dubstep Allstars’ CD, and is another great example of Martyn’s fresh take on the dubstep sound. Phasing pads filter in and out of the track, combining with bleeps and a warm stepping bassline.
