BVDUB & SOFIE LOIZOU - "MILLIONS" released on Clone Records

Bvdub and Sofie Loizou are two passioned artists who have a special collaboration on this Southern Outpost offshoot! Sofie Loizou is at the forefront of the electronic music scene in Australia and Brock Van Wey (bvdub) is one of America's most prolific electronical artists known for his excellent deep house and dubby techno releases. The EP is evocative and wistful, enveloping the listener in a dream state. The two made an equisite piece of lush ambient techno with vocals of the Polish Natalia Grosiak (produced by Polish sound artist Dawid Szczesny). The combination of Natalia's enchanting vocals and exquisite textural sound beds creates a sublime experience of blissful melancholy. This is a highly limited run of only 200 copies... yeah we know.. it's crazy to have a Bvdub collaboration this limited... but its just a fun project of Southern Outpost and friends! Don't sleep!

Index with Clark (Warp/Plant Mu), Sub Bass Snarl and more

INDEX is set to finish the year on high with one of the most exciting new talents in electronic music today, the Warp Records man of the moment, CLARK. With comparisons made to the mighty APHEX TWIN, Clark has been turning heads for some time and his most recent album "Totem’s Flare" has been widely touted as one of dance music's records of the year.

The unique sound that CLARK has demonstrated that he’s the primary torch bearer amongst a new generation of artists who continue the vision that Warp was built on. Making innovative and boundary pushing electronic music that is difficult to replicate, CLARK's arsenal of beats will complimented by what is a killer local support lineup.

Local WARP Records artist HARMONIC 313 has promised something special for his last appearance at VOID party for 2009. With a recent release on KODE 9's, HYPERDUB label and one forthcoming on MALA's, DEEP MEDI MUSIC, Mark is one artist who is also making massive waves internationally.
