originally hailing from halifax, nova scotia, canada, jon dacey a.k.a. dubious began playing in scuzzy lo-fi noise punk bands at age seventeen. an obsession with 4-track cassette recording spawning his initial productions. now residing in toronto, ontario, canada, dubious interests in crazed dance music fuel his dj sets and productions alike. playing everything from drums, guitar, bass and keys, his take on left field disco house production is distinctly his own. dubiouss musical appetites bounce from wild cosmic rock to blazing acid house, he has few boundaries, yet he remains focused on the funk first and foremost.in addition to his debut on bear funk gold he has also produced for deep freeze, truffle, loop: recordings and on prize (the label he founded). theres nothing dubious about this fellas music

when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

nice booty.. here you will find the typical eighties cure sound combined with a mellow 4x4 beat which will take you right back to that time..

>miscalate< starts off as a smooth, deep house record but quickly chooses a darker path and a big rumbling bassline takes over with sharp electronics following closely behind. as with all the production work of audiofly and paul harris, its the interesting structure and musical side of the track that really makes it stands out. partial arts, a new project from ewan pearson and al usher, take control and not just remix but remake the track! theyve delivered something rather special. a very unique, different and exciting production that will surely be turning heads and pricking the ears of many
