Sub Slayers 25: Toronto Is Broken 'The Outer Circle EP' by Sub Slayers

Exclusive Interview with Toronto Is Broken

Like Liam Howlett, you started making music at a very young age, what inspired you to get into the world of music production?

I come from a rock and metal background and always tried being in bands, but never really liked the whole band set-up and having to compromise all the time. Then I discovered the band Enter Shikari when I was about 14 (I’m 20 now), that opened up my eyes to electronic music. The lead singer had a solo side project know as Rout and then I realized that you didn’t have to be in a band to make music. So I got myself a copy of FL Studio 8 and it’s just grew from there.

Being a Future Jungle blog we have to ask the obligatory question, how did you come to know of the '140/Future Jungle' scene and become involved in it?

I think my first introduction to the whole thing were the two 150bpm tunes DJ Fresh’s “Future Jungle” EP. I was blown away and I’d never heard anything like it before. And before I knew it, my track “Taking Over” was born, but, I had no idea what to do with it. So I sent it to High Rankin who then forwarded it to Jay Cunning, after a few phonecalls we’d settled on releasing the “Move It” EP and the rest is history.

Who are your musical influences?

There are a lot that always shift from time to time, but right about now it’d have to be guys like Calyx & Teebee, Amon Tobin, Koven, Koan Sound, Eskmo, and Joe Ford.

What software & Hardware occupies the TIB studio?

Basically I’m running Ableton Live 7, I’m too scared to upgrade to a newer version as they changed the audio warping system, but it does everything I need to do. I also do a lot of offline processing in FL Studio 9 mainly when I’m processing some bass sounds (Vocoding, distortions), and then dropping them back into samplers in Ableton.

Plugin wise I use a lot of Massive (like everybody else), before dropping the bass sounds into samplers for further processing. The Shaack Audio transient Shaper is a God send too.

I don’t use any outboard gear but I do have a Tascam DR-55 field recorder that I use, and I recently let my 9 month old daughter loose with the pots and pans, and recorded it, which created some interesting results to say the least.

Of your own productions, which is your personal favorite to date?

Ooo, this is a tough one, as I like all of them in different ways but if I had to choose 3 it’d be these:

Ghost Network (Feat. Anodyne Industries) (Sub Slayers)

April 9^th (Feat. Jenni Potts) (Supreme Hustle)

Foes (Sub Nation Dub)

And which current bangers are on repeat play on your iPod?

Two Fingers – Vengance Rhythm (Koan Sound Remix) (Ninja Tune)

Bring Me The Horizon – Antivist (Epitaph)

Wizard – Mind Control (Sub Slayers)

Joe Ford – Behemoth (Bad Taste)

Flatmate – Hot Ball (Vexisle Remix) (Caliber Music)

Anodyne Industries – Rev (Hopskotch)

What are your thoughts on the never ending vinyl vs. digital debate?

To be honest I don’t really have an opinion on this as I use Ableton when I play out. But I know it’s a lot cheaper and more cost-efficient to release digitally and not on Vinyl. Either way, if Vinyl stops being produced there’s still programs like Serato and Traktor about so you can still play out the latest tunes and mix it up with your classic vinyl collection.

Game Of Thrones or Breaking Bad?

Neither, but I’ve been watching a lot of Phoneshop recently.

You have a new EP out on Sub Slayers, can you tell us a bit about that?

Essentially it is a follow-up / sequel to “The Inner Circle” EP that came out last summer, and it’s like and album split into two sections. There are themes and musical that began in the first EP that is continued into the second EP.

There are five tracks, a robotic Drum & Bass “The Second Renaissance”, something that sounds like and end-of-the-world-death-rave that is “Extraction Point”. Followed up by a deep Drum & Bass tech-y roller collaboration with long time producer friend Anodyne Industries, and 2 future jungle tearouts “Oceans Apart” and “Voyager”

Lastly, what’s coming up in the near future tune wise, how can we stay updated with TIB and any big ups/shout outs?

I’ve just wrapped up two Neurohop tunes, “Foes  &  Get Funky” that’ll be out on Sub Nation later this year, Sub Slayers’ new sub-label.

There’s also an album in the works.

The 'Outer Circle EP' is out now on all good download stores

Interview With Renegade Soundwave’s Danny Briottet For Future Jungle Blog

Rhythm Riders is a collaboration between Tony Gad & Drummie Zeb of UK dub icons Aswad, Danny Briottet of electronica pioneers Renegade Soundwave and Tim Bran of Dreadzone / Subsonar, alongside vocalists Solomon, Sweetie Irie and Brother Culture among others.

Rhythm Riders takes the musical heritage of Aswad into a 21st century urban setting, with intricate harmonies and conscious lyrics fused with state of the art rhythms and production, taking in elements of contemporary bass music - Dub, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Breaks, UKG, Deep House.

First single 'Come With The Love' on Sub Slayers comes with remixes from top producers in all fields from the U.K, U.S and Europe.

Rhythm Riders is 3 generations of London musical culture with its roots in dub and its eyes on the future.

We have been granted an exclusive interview with Danny from Renegade Soundwave to whom we are most grateful and to Jay Cunning and all involved in this massive release available from all good download stores…

You Have Been At The Very Roots Of The Rave Scene Since The Late 80's And Worked Alongside Some Of The Pioneers Of The Dub/Electronica Sound, Can You Tell Us A Bit More About How This Came About?

We Grew Up Around West London And Spent A Lot Of Time In New York And Berlin & Were Exposed To All The Different Cultures & Musics Such As Dub, Hip Hop, Punk, Early House And Channelled All That Into Our Music. Our Sound Was The Sum-Total Of Our Experiences And Represented London At The Time. We Used The Early Basic Technology That Was Available Such As The Akai S900 Sampler , Juno Keyboard And Notator Sequencing Software As Well As Regular Instruments And Turntables To Enable Us To Do This. This All Became Pretty Standard Stuff, But It Was New At The Time. As We Progressed So Did The Technology And The Studio Became Our Instrument.

Most People Know You For 'The Phantom', A Seminal Tune From The Early 90's, Often Sped Up To +8 By Djs Favouring The Hardcore/Jungle Sound, Did You Have Any Idea It Would Become Such A Big Tune?

That Tune Was Written Very Quickly And It Just Kind Of Had A Spirit Of Its Own, That's Why I Called It The Phantom. Didn't Write It With It Becoming Big In Mind, But After We Let A Few Copies Out To Selected Djs You Could Feel That Something Was Happening. By The Time It Came Out You Could Hear It Everywhere From The Pirates To The Big Clubs. I Think It Was One Of Those Records That Just Captured The Moment And Give People A Lift At The Right Time. It Was A Very Exciting Period With Lots Of People Being Turned On To Various Things That Has Previously Been Known Only To A Few. I've Also Been Told Many Times That It Was The Tune That Drew A Lot Of Black And Asian People Into The Rave Scene.

You Have Produced In A Variety Of Styles And Genres, Is There A Style That You Prefer To Make Tunes In?

No, Whole Point For Me Is Just To Do Your Own Thing & Not Try To Fit In With Anything. I Think That's Why You Can Still Play The Rsw Stuff.

Genres Will Come & Go But Good Records Stand The Test Of Time.

The Vocalist On 'Biting My Nails' Sounds So Much Like Shaun Ryder, Is It Him?

No Its Not But We Were Down With Shaun. There Was Supposed To Be A Happy Mondays / Renegade Soundwave Tour Of The States At One Point But It Fell Apart For Reasons I Won't Go Into.

Which Of Your Personal Productions Over The Years Are Your Favourites?

The Phantom Would Be One, And Some Of The Other Rsw Stuff Like The Dub Of Cocaine Sex. My Remix Of Moby’s 'Why Does My Heart' And Cypress Hill’s ‘Checkmate’... A Record I Did Under The Subsonic Legacy Guise Called 'Revolution (Bring The Noise)'...Grace Jones 'Corporate Cannibal'

And Who Do You Rate Musically In 2013?

Julio Bashmore, Breakage, King Yoof, Stylo G, Lg Bass Terror, @It... I Like Some Of The U.S Trap Stuff, Mainly Because It’s The First Time You've Got White Indie Kids Making Records With Black Urban Producers. We've Always Been Racially And Socially Mixed In The U.K - That's Why We Invent So Many Kinds Of Music Like D&B And Dubstep, But In The States Its Always Been Too Segregated. There's Always Interesting Stuff Coming Off The Streets Here - You Never Know Whats Round The Corner But Kids In The U.K Will Always Be Creative.

Which Brings Us To The Present Day And A New Release, A Colaboration With Aswad And Solomon Where You Have Ressurected Your Rhythm Riders Alias Along With Renegade Soundwave, Its An Incredible Tune With A Positive Message, Whats The Story Behind It?

Thanks, I Became Friends With Drummie Zeb From Aswad A Long Time Ago And We Used To Hang Out And Mess Around In The Studio. Then Him & Tony Gad Started Talking About Doing A Project In A Different Direction To Aswad, So Rhythm Riders Happened Naturally In My Studio. I've Done A Lot of Work with Tim Bran (Ex Of Dreadzone) So The Four Of Us Started Putting Down Ideas And More & More People Such As Soloman, Sweetie Irie And Brother Culture Got Involved.

Aswad Were Great Heroes Of Mine When I Was Growing Up So It Was An Honour To Find Myself Working With Them. Rhythm Riders Is Like 3 Generations Of West London Musical Culture With Its Roots In Dub And Its Eyes On The Future.

There Are Several Remixes Of 'Come With The Love' Due For Release Alongside The Original, What Do You Think Of Them?

Jay Cunning Has Done An Amazing Job Putting This Together With All These Excellent Remixes. All The Producers Have Delivered A Terrifying Array Of Versions. It’s Great To Hear Our Music In All These Different Contexts And The Response Has Been Very Positive.

Finally, Thanks For Taking The Time, Any Final Words And Shout Outs?

This Is The First Release From A Project That Has Been Simmering For A While And Now Ready To Go. There Will Be More Records And Hopefully Rhythm Riders Live And Sound System Dates And A Video To Come.

Sub Slayers 24: Rhythm Riders feat Aswad, Renegade Soundwave & Solomon by Sub Slayers

Warehouse Wax-Ruffneck Rydims Vol 2

This, the second installment of Ruffneck Rydims, follows firmly in the footsteps of the first one, some may say that it has even upped the anti a little bit! The lead track is nothing short of a corker. The awesome VIRUS track from last year, which was a collaboration between VINYL JUNKIE and the almighty BACKDRAFT, gets a massive overhaul from one of Sub Slayers finest, the one and only TORONTO IS BROKEN, who has stamped his very own unique trademark sound on it. This is an absolute killer.

The EP also includes a couple of our friends from across the Atlantic. all the way from California. The hugely talented duo ODEED & WISH with what is in our opinion, one of their rudest tunes to date. BUCK THEN DUCK, dancefloor destroyer. Next up, one of the people who was a pioneer in the birth of the new 140 Jungle sound, back in the days when people used to call it J-Tek. Mr MADCAP has been making quite an impact lately on the D&B circuit with releases scheduled for some pretty big labels. He has done us the honour of knocking out a slower number for the 140 crew. EASTERN PROMISE will get your pulse racing for sure. Last but by no means least, London rudeboy, the man like PRESSA shows us a bit of BADBOY STYLE. Sick!!!

Sub Slayers 017 - Toronto Is Broken 'The Inner Circle EP'

Sub Slayer's next E.P is ready to drop soon, welcoming back Toronto Is Broken who saw the new year in with a bang, debuting on this fine imprint. 'Metropolis' and 'Hemisphere' continue in the 140 Jungle/Dubstep vein and will be gracing the decks of all the top 140 Jungle DJs, that's a given, 2 superbly produced tracks. I actually like 'Annunaki' the most from this E.P with it's off time drumstep vibe similar to Sanxion's 'Boizo' from the same imprint, 'Bor's theme' and 'Hear you' are quality DnB and future garage numbers respectively, the latter really reminds me of MJ Cole. This E.P touches all bases and does it really well. Don't take my word for it, take the words of the creme de la creme of Drum and bass,breaks, dubstep, 140 jungle and U.K/Future garage along with radio One DJs all of whom are feeling the distinct sound of Sub Slayers.
