RND (aka RaNDom)





RND aka RaNDom is an electro-dub project started by Matt B in winter 2003 in Tokyo.Shortly after in spring 2004 the critically acclaimed demo 'Cuts One' was released : a mix of electronica and dub cuts. Following the overwhelmingly positive response to their independently released e.p 'Point Two' in winter 2004,RND have since taken a subtle shift in direction by including in their line up tabla player Shinsuke Inoue(a long term student of the revered Kul Bhushan Bhargava). Adding this new percussive drive and flexibility to their other live instrumentation and digital manipulation has continued to make RND's live appearances(from London's Alexandra Palace to Tokyo's Womb)such a success.It has also ensured their tracks are regularly played by chill out luminaries such as Nova(Ultimae Records)and Gaudi (Interchill Records). Roger Linley ,aka the Viscount, joined the crew during the 2005 european gigs and soon became a very important contribution of what is today's RND sound.

Bass Science





Bass Science fuses dubstep, glitch hop, IDM and dub into a fresh new sound that is simultaneously super filthy and extremely clean. Italian-born, Tokyo-based MattB (RaNDom) and Chicago-born, LA-based Steve Nalepa developed a virtual friendship out of mutual respect, remixing each other and releasing on compilations together before their first realtime communication. After sharing bills together in the UK and California, the pair of dub scientists began collaborating, the resulting soundclash melding serious low end, deep pocket rhythms, crunchy distortion, glitchy mouth percussion, blips, bleeps and a heavy dose of dub delay. Individually, these two standout producers have flourishing solo careers. Together as Bass Science, they are a force to be reckoned with, crushing dancefloors around the world with with their unique brand of glitchstep/dubhop.
