Atlantic Connection in 2012
My good friend and label mate Atlantic Connection is starting 2012 off with a new single on Deceast, some free music giveaways and a few emerging details about his upcoming album. In his own words:
One of the reasons I enjoy living in LA so much is the constant growth of electronic music. A good friend of mine Deco (some of you may know of him from his Atlanta days) started up a label last year called Deceast Records, focusing on futuristic bass music. Early last year I was really starting to experiment with different tempo’s and styles and I’m proud to say Deceast was the first label to embrace my new vibes; we did a well-received garage-ish single “Take My Number / No Explanations”. Coming back around to now is a follow up single with dubstep artist NumberNin6 backed by my track “Set Me Free.”
In addition to his upcoming single, A.C. just released his bootleg of The Weeknd’s “The Morning” which you can check out below.
Lastly, Atlantic Connection tells me that all of the demos for his next album are finished and that he’s currently meeting with labels to find an appropriate outlet for the LP. So far, it contains 15 songs in a variety of genres and features a number of guests — scarce info for now I’m afraid, but I’m sure more disclosures will be coming soon. There is currently no release date.

Introducing Other Echoes
Nick Gresham is starting off 2012 with a big change and some news about a new music project he’s started. After two singles on Deceast under the Bastille moniker, Nick has retired that project and he’s starting fresh with Other Echoes, a new persona that will be continuing the musical lineage he started under the previous name. He’s already fast at work on a string of releases that will be seeing release later this year, including new material for Deceast. To help spark interest, he’s also giving away “Last Rights”, a free track that gives you a glimpse of what’s to come from Other Echoes. To snag your copy, head over to his Facebook and hit the Like button, you’ll then get a download link for the track. You can also keep up with everything he’s up to at the following locations:

For our Swiss readers, don’t miss Other Echoes’ debut live performance in Basel on February 4th. More info can be had via Facebook.
I’m really looking forward to hearing what directions Nick will explore under the new moniker and I can’t wait to share more of his work for Deceast with you in the near future.
Happy Holidays!
Deceast will be back in full swing in 2012. Stay tuned for updates regarding new releases on the label, new music from Deceast artists, gigs, mixes, and more. See everybody next year!
Knowledge Magazine Interview + Label Profile
I just did an interview with Knowledge Magazine, one of the longest running publications in the Drum & Bass / Dubstep scene and one that I gained a lot of insight from over the years. It was hard to get copies of Knowledge when I lived in Atlanta, but when I did get my hands on an issue it made me feel like I was part of a larger culture. Seeing a full-blown print publication dedicated almost entirely to D&B was pretty stunning for me at a time when a good D&B show in Atlanta would bring out at most 200 people, so it’s a pleasure that I get to answer a few questions for them now!
