COA-D-041 SOUNDKEEPERS E.P. ON CODE OF ARMS

June 7th, 2011 | By Nebulla

Soundkeepers, which was conceived as a two-person Electro DJ/producer team evolved in 2010 to become the solo, mainly Dubstep, project of Ricky Medina. Although mixes and sets will include house music of all sorts where appropriate, Ricky plans to focus most of his energy on his blooming collection of Dubstep productions. With original tracks pending release from the labels Filthy Digital Recordings and Code of Arms Records in 2011, he is clearly on the right track. Artists like Reid Speed, Hellfire Machina, Somejerk, Nebulla, and Soroka have already shown interest in his music. It is, after all, hard to expect anything else from someone who, from a very young age, has experienced and been involved with the New York City dance music scene. To be sure, these roots influence his productions which tend to be huge, body-shaking melodic bangers. His love for all things below 80hz, however, extends past that description with productions of all sorts including tech house, electro house, and more agressive Dubstep tunes. At the end of the day one thing is clear, 2011 and beyond will be the age of Soundkeepers, so look out for this guy’s tunes in a club near you.

Devon Clarke (Bobo Saw) was born in Kingston 12 in Trench Town, Jamaica. Over a long career he has shared the stage with Sizzla Kalonji, as well as the legendary Burning Spear, Bounty Killer, Frankie Paul, Pam Hall, Mikey Merican and Jigsy King. Today he is still a prolific producer and talented performer. Clarke’s success is a product of two decades of unyielding devotion to his music. His career first launched in 1986 when he formed Declaration Music, which released its first recording “Color Kodak” in the same year. Other producers quickly took notice of his talent, and by 1994 he had released tracks with various artists & labels, including World A Spin, Lambada, Days of School, Mek Some Money and Killing Feeling.

Hellfire Machina is a duo dupstep team including Jody Shires aka ‘Mechabot1′
(One half of Sunz Of Mecha and Uncouth Youth/ Label boss at Mechamusic/ Owner of Breaksfm) and Tom Williams aka ‘Chosen Substance’
(Founding member of Junglist Movement and Raw Groove UK). Prior to the birth of this project in late 2008. Jody Shires and Tom Williams collectively had over 60 releases under their belts, along with production work for grammy nominated artists, numerous UK top ten remixes, 5 Breakspoll Awards, Best International Dj in the Spanish EDM awards 3 years running and a history in bass culture that is second to none. The year is now 2010, sonic exploration in the realm of bass fueled riddims is the primary mission for Hellfire Machina. Since migrating from London, Tom and Jody have firmly made their presence felt in New York’s bass music community. Constantly touring and promoting parties, this deadly team of subsonic soldiers don’t show any signs of slowing down, slaying shows from LA to Brooklyn with wave after wave of block rocking panty dropping next level riddims. With production and project management credits on last years Enter The Dubstep WU TANG album, they are currently crafting an album for Brand Nubian, which is due for release at the end of this year. With an ever constant stream of digital and vinyl releases Hellfire’s trademark but diverse sound has embedded itself deep into the landscape and their own artist album is due for release spring 2011, which is being developed in their now famously named studio ‘Planet Twisted’.

BRAND NUBIAN - ‘ENTER THE DUBSTEP’ OUT NOW!

December 23rd, 2010 | By Soroka

FrankRadio and iHipHop Distribution are proud to announce the highly anticipated follow-up to 2009’s “Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture: Enter The Dubstep Vol. 1.”  Out on December 21st, the freshest sounds in underground electronic music have once again encountered the classic hip-hop stylings of the foundational group of legends: Brand Nubian.

After the wild success of Vol. 1, it only felt right for its producers and A&R’s to embark on a new journey down the same road.  Meanwhile, Lord Jamar had found himself becoming more and more interested in heavy bass music and had seen this as a new avenue for the groups lyrical expression. Brand Nubian holds a unique position in hip-hop history.  Universally respected as pioneers of a new way of thinking during the “golden-era” of the early 90’s, Brand Nubian’s political, social and cultural messages were delivered with a heavy dose of hardcore.  With this 2nd installment in the ground-breaking series, “Enter The Dubstep” continues to trailblaze the collaboration between Dubstep and Hip-Hop, bringing hard bass and gritty lyrics together as none have done before.  As Dubstep continues to push itself into mainstream ears, this album continues to push the boundaries of both genres, and in doing so, eliminates the borders all together.

The album features live new vocals from all three MCs (Grand Puba, Sadat X and Lord Jamar), and brand new production by Hellfire Machina, Dem Soul, hardcore legend Lenny Dee, and the COA badmen Soroka and Nebulla who collaborated on an completely original song- “Dopestep” featuring Lord Jamar and Petey Green. It also features, for the first time, a tune by Code of Arms, entitled “Revolution”, which was a collective effort by several COA artists and musicians.

Check out the first two singles now:

Here are a couple videos taken in the studio with Brand Nubian:

COA-D-030 DEPONE & SONWAH FRESH - OLDSKOOL DUB OUT NOW ON BEATPORT!

November 30th, 2010 | By Nebulla

Code Of Arms is proud to announce the digital release of Old Skool Dub / Eskimo Jam featuring Depone and Sonwah Fresh.
Depone is gaining momentum in the dubstep world, with several releases under his belt he has caught the attention of various artists and labels worldwide, and his tunes are played by some of the biggest names in the genre. Depone’s skills at the buttons are exceptional. Pursuing an honors degree in music technology, his production qualities shine through in every track he touches. Depone has been killing clubs for years as a DJ as well, and fills the floors with a mixture of dark, moody, tekky dubstep with a stab of raw energy.
Sonwah Fresh, a.k.a. Sonny Lindon, was born in Devon Southwest, UK and
was first influenced by dance music at the age of 10. Introduced to drum ‘n’ bass and break beat at a young age, he started producing on just a Playstation. With the help of his friend Depone and his music production education, he learned the tricks of the trade and is now making serious moves in the EDM scene. This, his vinyl debut on Code Of Arms, is just the beginning for Sonwah Fresh.

Old Skool Dub is in a class of it’s own. Depone and Sonwah Fresh masterfully blend the old sound with the new, creating a hybrid-monster of a tune. Enticing familiar female vocal samples lure
you in to the drop, which rapidly batters the rhythm with hard sub. The nineties style synth bounces around the punchy drums, providing a perfect compliment to the gritty bass sounds. A pure feeling of nostalgia is combined with murderous bass-fueled mischief in this futuristic dream called Old Skool Dub.

Eskimo Jam opens with big cracks and booms in the distance that creates a dark, eerie atmosphere throughout the track. The exotic guitar and elastic skanky chords set the deep underlying melody of the song, which the bass then rudely counters. Nothing can prepare you though for when the sub drops in with a “Tony Montana” attitude, as the vocal sample accentuates. Tight, crisp drums answer to the wild synth sweeps and the sharp stabs that relentlessly pierce and sting the rhythm.
Eskimo Jam is an all out club banger with staying power so make sure you pick it up…
