Until now Duffstep has hidden in the seedy undergrowth of London always in disguise, clandestine and covert, ever plotting his imminent escape. This bid for freedom then, is called ‘Getting To Sirius’. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, in Ancient Greek times Sirius was said to mark the beginning of summer, where women became aroused and men became weak.
Duffstep’s debut album ‘Getting To Sirius’ is a blend of dub influenced, down tempo beats winding through layers of melody, synths and vocals softening the blow and giving a nice, warm and fuzzy edge to the thick slabs of sonic concrete. Though you don’t have to wait long before a nice big bass-line knocks you down on your arse again.
It’s a migration from early morning blissful sweeps and sonic washes. It is the soul of rave, it is it’s long dead cousin come back to haunt it. It is the sound rave makes when it re-enters the earth’s atmosphere.
Aside from travelling to Sirius on weekends, Duffstep can also be found sharing a stage with some of the biggest names in electronic music, Flying Lotus, Martyn, Kode 9 and King Midas Sound to name a few.
Duffstep will be debuting his AV live show, a collaboration with one of the UK VJ scenes star assets Rebel Overload in July at Cargo. Keep an ear out for Duffstep releases on Join The Dots, Electric minds & Saigon Recordings in the near future.
