The 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 and Osiris Music.
