Current Shennanigans

We've been on hiatus since the last set of releases from Prod, Micoland & Holly Bretton, and the LEGO Project went live over the holidays. We hope you enjoyed/are enjoying the music as much as we have.

We have been busy on other fronts though; big thanks to everyone who made the return of Gonzo at Beaverworks in Leeds such a good party last month. The night featured some great music in both rooms, a hilariously brilliant debut from The Clartbuster Morris Show, and an amazingly friendly crowd who raved until the early morning.

We have more of the same planned for later this month when we will be featuring guests Mortal & Chemist (Skam, Icasea, 33). Click on the flyer below:

Dead Christmas

If the annual torrent of Pogues, McCartney, Geldof et al fills you with Bah Humbug, you'll be pleased to know we have another set of quality and 100% non-festive releases on Dead-Channel.com!

First up is The Lego Project - our local and international artists taking the same soundbank and twisting it into their own sordid little creations. What began as an experiment in remix-craft quietly turned into an interesting and diverse little album which showcases some of our artists more experimental edges (and our best efforts at Lego-punnery).

Next is a release we've been waiting for since day one. Our friendly neighbourhood jazzcat Prod drops a selection of tunes from the archives and shows us his harder-but-still-effortlessly-funky side. Fashion Sickness has had some serious rinsage at DC hq and we're sure you'll love it too. Fans of Plug, Squarepusher, and anyone of a Ninja Tune persuasion will dig this baby.

Our third release is the also-long-awaited collaboration between Micoland and Holly Bretton. A perfect combination of Mico's deep, dark beats and Holly's ethereal vocals which will sit nicely between Massive Attack and Portishead in the Chillout folder. Highly recommended for the morning after...

And finally, our last Deadmix of 2008 is a floor-shaking two-laptop dance-off from Leeds' newest noise terrorists Wobble & Dubb!

Thanks to everyone for your support in 2008, we'd like to wish you a loud, bassy Christmas and a euphoric 'hands-in-the-air' New Year.

Look out for the return of Gonzo in January...

Chin chin,
Ant & Chris

Still Alive...

All's been quite on the Dead-Channel front over the last month or so. Don't panic, we know how vital Dead-Channel updates are to your continued mental helath and well-being. We're still here for you.

Look out for a special Christmas present from us to you, coming very soon in the form of some of the best music (well we think so) to be released on DC thus far.

We should also have some exiting news regarding future Gonzo/Dead-Channel exploits in the new year - especially if you live in Leeds or the north of England.

You lucky, lucky people....

Better Late Than Never: Octobers Releases

We've been super busy this past month, but we've finally got this months releases uploaded for you to download. Check it:


[channel017] Various Artists - One for the Ladies
It’s finally here, 12 tracks of biting satire, tongue-in-cheek beats and off the wall humour. We’re pleased to present for your listening (dis)pleasure – One for the Ladies.




[channel018] Blip!
Shadowy operators Blip! (Kubex & Dot9) have been working away on the underbelly of the Leeds electronic scene for a good few years now. This, their first release, is a collection of work recorded between 2001 and 2007.




[channel019] Gwylo & Micoland - Hale Bopp
Dirtyload Records and Dead Channel are proud to present the follow up to Gwylo & Micolands 2006 Dirtyload debut 'Reinfections'. Hale Bopp sees the duo in a more diverse mood than last time, but having no less of an impact. The heavy dub vibes are still present, but this time round the pair have stretched their musical limbs out wide and embraced a plethora of styles.


[channel020] Kubex - LS4EP
Kubex returns to Dead Channel after his acclaimed debut ‘Circuit Cities’ dropped in August. Not new material, but material that needed to see the light of day, ‘LS4EP’ is a collection of older, harder tracks from the archives.




[deadmix004] Gwylo
This month we also have a new Deadmix courtesy of Gwylo, Gonzo lynchpin and the man behind Dirtyload Records. This months mix sees him doing what he does best: banging out an hour of the finest quality dance floor exploding rave tracks.


All releases are free to download, and come with full colour CD artwork and embedded art for computers and MP3 players. Get on it!

Tell us what you think (if your that way inclined) of Dead Channel's releases, new and old, and we may even send you some Dead Channel stickers (if your nice): dead-channel (at) live.co.uk

Thanks for all your support!

Noisepsalm '23rd Abduction' Video

Keeping it in the family. Enjoy:

September Releases

After a hectic month at the Dead Channel bunker, we've finally got this months startling array of releases online, ready for you to peruse and download:


Caulfield - Caulfield EP
A debut release, and a new find for us in the shape of one Lawrence Northall, hailing from the south of England. Unique, quirky and brilliant electronics from a bright future prospect.

Little Nobody - Remember Radio?
More abstract cut-ups from one of Tokyo's hardest working artists and the man who brought you the Double Click to Play EP.

Naffdogg - Sheepscar EP
It's been a while in the making, but it was definately worth the wait. The debut EP from one of Leeds best kept secrets.

Noisepsalm - The Injured Aerm Army
Math Lewis from Sacramento California is the man responsible for this dark gem of a release. Featues remixes from fellow Americans Interloper and Headcase, and guest vocals from none other than Math's son Phoenix.

Wobble n Dubb - Knock Down Ginger
This collaborative effort from two of Leeds finest comes packing a heavyweight punch, and in a cool, slightly unconventional format. Watch yer bassbins.


All releases are as always, free to download and come with full colour art and embedded art for ipods and MP3 players... what are you waiting for?

Love and kisses
Chris and Ant xxx
