Widdler
Born in Tel Aviv and now living in Austin, TX, The Widdler
became a known commodity
in US dubstep thanks to Excision’s yearly Shambala mix series and a massive online
presence. As the YouTube views increased, so did the attention of the dubstep world
Yoni Oron’s music was soon being supported by everyone from Mary Anne Hobbes and
6Blocc to Bassnectar and Skrillex, providing a rare bridge in the
undergroundmainstream gap.
Widdler songs get their power from Oron’s expert sound design. “I like to bring different
aspects of sound, be it musical, cinematic, ambient, etc.,” said Oron, “then mold them
into a deep bass template” The result is an array of provocative original sounds
powered by big rolling basslines, a pleasant experience for music fans of all
backgrounds.

Thelem
Thelem’s come a long way since first firing up Fruity Loops Studio in 2006.
In the intervening decade, after spending a few years honing his craft, Thelem has earned widespread
recognition for building devastatingly heavy beats whilst always looking to create fresh and challenging
directions for his music. Matt combines pulverising sub frequency architecture with a highly varied
production palette, ranging from intensely dark and skeletal halfstep rhythms to the surging raw energy of
his more hip hop influenced sound. He is supported by some of the most influential selectors in the game.
Inspired by textures and soundscapes and drawing from Drum and Bass, Hiphop and Grime, Thelem
showed promise early on. With a dedicated and meticulous approach to studio time, and an emphasis on
high quality control of his output, he was soon picked up by two of Dubstep’s flagship labels, Black Box
ad Osiris Music.
