Sonarpilot label focus and exclusive mix for Point Blank

Sonarpilot Audio is always on the lookout for up and coming electronic music producers who have a certain something to their sound. While we constantly bring in the established name artists like Ramadnaman and Marcus Intalex to feature on our releases, we are also are known to ask complete unknowns to head up a release, if the music demands it. The man responsible for the wall rumbling 'Singapore Bass' remix of Ocean Dub, Evan Roberts AKA Team Brooklyn, is a fine example of this ethos. His mix headlining EP5, quite a first release for anybody when you look at our back catalog. Team Brooklyn was introduced to us by a mutual friend, of sorts...

We are lucky to have very close links to London's Point Blank music technology school and its here that Sonarpilot Audio label manager Jonny Miller, a course developer and tutor at the school, was to meet and tutor Team Brooklyn back in2011. 

Sonarpilot himself has also tasted the school's forward thinking approach to education via the online school's Logic training, so we feel like we know the place pretty well. Naturally, when they asked us for an exclusive label mix for their ever popular blog, we got busy and have put together something very special. The mix features some choice Sonarpilot remixes and a couple of of brand new cuts coming out on the label later this year. You can check out the mix below and read full blog piece and mix here.

OCEAN DUB REMIX EP OUT NOW

Sonarpilot Audio proudly bring you the 5th installment of the remixes series - Ocean Dub, a brand new track from Sonarpilot reworked by two more forward thinking artists from the underground electronic scene. During the promo period leading up to release, the EP enjoyed plenty of club and radio play including the BBC's Bobby Friction spinning sounds from the release four nights in a row on his Asian Network show.

Remix number one and two come courtesy of another little Sonarpilot discovery, a young producer who will be making waves in the post dubstep, Bass Music scene from here on in. Evan Roberts, AKA Team Brooklyn, is a professional sound designer and studio engineer at the infamous Gunnery Studios in Malaysia. His intense ‘Singapore Bass’ reworking of Ocean Dub brings razor sharp synths, a wall of sub bass and heavyweight dubstep beats into play. Roberts them marries this modern sound with an epic Bollywood style vocal track, recorded in New Delhi by acclaimed movie soundtrack composer Gaurav Dayal. Both vocal and instrumental mixes will appeal to lovers of Eastern electronic music as much as Bass Music aficionados with the tracks sitting comfortably into a DJ set alongside other bass music artists like Chase and Status, Nero and Skrillex.

Sonarpilot’s soulful and chilled original mix swiftly follows with a more organic flavour. Moppert’s original productions once again shine through on the EP as his sound evolves and expands. His music always features that trademark Sonarpilot tight programming, sonic experimentation and root soul that wins him new fans with each release.

Lastly deep house mainstay Soy Mustafa gets to work remixing under his S2000 moniker. Soy’s Cinematic label is one of the most respected deep house labels in the world and regularly features the very top names in the scene, artists like Chez Damier, Alex Kid, John Tejada and Alex Celler feature on every release and the labels insistence to keep manufacturing vinyl has ensured Soy a loyal fan base. His ‘Dub Rendition’ remix takes Ocean Dub back to the 4/4, house dance floor with a rolling bass groove, clever percussion, subtle sound effects and haunting chords that seem to give the track a ‘classic’ deep house sound throughout.

You can buy the EP directly from us via as a high quality FLAC download from our digital store at http://www.surus.co.uk/sonarpilot-audio/
