Two new ones. well one is a remix but still good. up on Boomkat. Lets talk ...
Bruk & Home ( edit ) are incredibly fresh sounding.
Bruks got a really jumpyass beat going with it.. the vocal style plays to this as far as I can tell.. Ordering it for the holidays cant wait.
wish these guys were on Bleep or Itunes. or Myspace for that matter.
Hope to get my order in by NewYears so I have more music to blast.

Ta for the heads up, I loved the album, so will check this out pronto.
For people who've not heard it; it really defies categorisation, but the best way I can think of describing it is if Trip Hop is hip hop with slightly jazz tinged female vocals, this is dubstep with female vocals that range from blues to r&b to folk. It's definately not just grime with a female MC.
My girlfriend really hates it; she can't be in the room when I play it (only artist it happens with). It's not that it's grating- it's fairly "easy listening" in those terms, it's just the vocals get to her so much.

New "Exclusive" mp3 up on Boomkat.
It's Grimey Jungle & will appeal to fans of Virus Syndicate for sure...
Good track.

I've read it's supposed to be clinical, soulless bullshit.

I've had a listen and I don't like either of the new releases, but whilst clinical, the first album was good. A bit "coffee table dubstep", but nice nonetheless.

That is probably the best way to put it...
Coffee table Dubstep.

i've had it with electronic music. every week there are releases by people called things like pramem and garlep fuse, making the same old shite like most of us here make for fun but are more percy-veering and it ends up at boomkat and its just like 'who can drop most obscure name' game

Don't think they are very good, the album is really bland

I prefer the Vinyl theyve laid out.
The CD isnt the best.

I don't know if that comment is really relevant to Various Productions. The only person here who has posted music that sounds even remotely like this is teapot. Neither are various productions some amateurish group releasing on a tiny obscure label: They're signed to XL, home of Basement Jaxx, Thom Yorke and The Prodigy.
I agree there is a lot of music like you describe on Boomkat though.

I dunno, 3 vs 2 in favour of it so far. Check out the track "Hater" from the album, "The World is Gone" and decide for yourself.
What you said is true about an awful lot of boomkat records though. I just think, "this is such wank and this artist will never be anything more than this."

The album is a mixed bag. Some tracks I really do love (Lost is stunning for example), but others are just instantly forgetable. I have all their releases though, and they do fuse radically different styles to create some interesting results.
But yeah, I do find a lot of their music to be pretty souless when compared to someone like Burial for example. I mean from listening to Burials album, you can really tell that he put his heart and soul into the music... it is clearly very personal, yet most people who listens to it can find a connection.

i have all their releases in one form or another and i have to say they appear good but only a small number of tracks have lasting appeal.
they stay pretty much anonymous for reason, adam has a well shady musical career see

What About Them? / Too Lost In You is my favourite Various release I think.

what a dumb fucking word, dubstep. bout as gay as illbient or click-hop. i just want to cough out the word "poser" everytime i hear it.
i don't have a problem w/ the style but, "dubstep", what a shit way to refer to something.
as for Various Prod. i've heard all the of the sound samples and it does nothing for me.

like it just sound like some "catchy" corporate word to describe the mixing of the dub and 2-step genres. how completely crap.
i do appreciate how the scene is booming though, i'm glad there is some kind of living trend, but this term just sounds like the queer image director of Entertainment Tonight was lucky enough to discover the latest underground electronic trend on one of his paid in full London fashion trips where his chauffeur got lost and he ended up at a party he didn't want to go to. its balls i tell you.
this is all XLR8R and Hatcha's falt. piss.
