Subchaser EP by Truth
"Releasing music with DEEP MEDi is like returning home. MEDi was the first label we released on, and was so instrumental in introducing us to the dubstep scene as a whole. We love the MEDi sound, vibe and what the label represents.
This EP is something special. The title tune was created together in Los Angeles right before we headed off to Shambhala and then Outlook Festival... two of our most favourite events of the year, so we were able to test it out when it was brand new and fresh. The name comes from the sample, taken from a 50s "b movie horror" type TV show and also from all the sounds we synthesised in the track which are super "wet", wanted this one to sound underwater.
Tui is a collaboration with NZ Legend Tiki Taane, who plays a bunch of traditional pacific instruments on the track (in fact the working title was "Conch"). A Tui is a native New Zealand bird with a beautiful call, the track pays homage to our birthplace and contains native NZ birdsong. We also made the song together in NZ the week after we won a NZ Music Award for "Best Electronic Artist", the awards are known as "Tui"s.
Shadow Samurai is creepy, dark and melodic, and it's got the funk. Especially happy with the switch which comes in about 1.48 in the tune.
I would also encourage people to listen past the end of Tui as we have been known to slip extra audio on records, all those of you who caught the secret extra long outro / tune after Lion (on our last DEEP MEDi release) will know that."
