TRSR 004EP
|
Addison Groove is back under his Headhunter guise with a duo of trademark dubstep cuts in that inimitable style. Dank, rolling technoid mutations at 140 are in order on "Atinjo", effortlessly combining the dark-side sound palette and modulated bass with lush chord stabs stretching out into the distance. Driving percussion and immaculate production levels keep things steaming ahead throughout the duration. "Ina" is cut from the same cloth but with a hint of his Addison Groove alias creeping in. Crafty percussion is swiftly backed up by rough edged, elasticated bass and some more glowing chord stabs.

BLACKBOX 020EP
|
Black Box presents the first solo 12" of proper Headhunter material in some time. "Clone" features mechanized rhythms, rushing white noise and relentless bass drops, while "Projector" scatters fidgeting arpeggios across a purely synthetic soundscape. Both tunes have received exclusive weekly plays on Youngsta's show on Rinse FM, with recent support from Kryptic Minds and Icicle.

TEMPA 014CD
|
This is the debut full-length release from Bristol, UK-based dubstep producer, Headhunter. This is also the first time a collection of Headhunter music can be found anywhere on CD. Nomad is a heavily techno-influenced bass-driven album, further pushing open the dubstep envelope and giving the album mass appeal to fans of dubstep, techno and electronic music in general. It was titled Nomad as each track was recorded in a different location across Europe and North America. One of dubstep's most revered producer/DJs, Headhunter is thought of as a prominent rising star in the scene and as such is a regularly headlining DJ at venues including Ministry of Sound, The End (London) and Cornerstone dubstep nights and Subloaded. He has played with Maurizio from Basic Channel, Gilles Peterson, and revered turntablist Z-Trip, has recorded for labels including Planet Mu and Tectonic, and is about to start his third tour of the United States. Headhunter is Tempa's newest album artist joining Benga and Skream in a line of artists that have achieved worldwide acclaim for their releases on the most respected label in dubstep. Textured, fleet-footed dub that is meant for dancing, not brooding.

TEMPA 031EP
|
Originally released in 2007. Headhunter presents an exciting and futuristic second release on Tempa. "Locus Lotus" is an up-tempo, summery track with a bouncy soca-style. "Drop The Waste" features a heavy half-time rhythm. N-Type has been caning "Sushi Brain," with its distinctive, submerged techno intro leading into a sick drop. While "Quanta" jacks it all up, the ghost of rave hovers in the cut-up, high-pitched vocals of "Spyro." Radio & DJ support from Hatcha, Rob Da Bank, Youngsta and Tes La Rock.

TEMPA 027EP
|
Originally released in 2007, and Headhunter's first 12" for Tempa. As a member of Bristol's notorious H.E.N.C.H. crew, he has repped the dubstep sound hard in the Southwest. After blistering sets at FWD>> in London and the H.E.N.C.H club night and Pinch's Subloaded rave in Bristol, this release cemented his reputation as a major talent in dubstep. All three tracks have been mainstays of pioneering dubstep DJ Youngsta's sets on dubplate, and have received plays from Plastician (BBC Radio One) and by N-Type on Rinse FM.
