Finish copy promos. Distance’s Chestplate imprint continues its mighty release run with another double dose of his very own indomitable productions. The 3rd plate from the label liberates V and Present Day from Distance’s dubplate archive; two tracks which highlight the versatility of one of Dubstep’s most distinguished producers. Fans will be appeased with the release of V, a track which has been tearing up the rave with its heavy as 100 ten tonne trucks devastation. Weighty is not the word. The track pounds and stomps, crunches and growls. It should come with a warning: this track can kill! A real contrast to its flipside, Present Day sees Distance on a different flex. The track groans with aching bass and burns slow in epic proportion. Synths linger around a piano lead like the whispers of a ghost in the dead of night, the gothic sonics unnerve the listener and send shivers down the spine. Alongside contemporaries like Benga, Skream, Pinch and Digital Mystikz, Distance has been responsible for shaping the Dubstep sound as we know it today. Chestplate intends to showcase the freshest of his own productions which have been devastating dances and flooring radio listeners over the recent months. The two tracks featured on the release have been firm favourites in his live sets and on his Rinse FM show, garnering major support from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Hatcha, Pinch, Chef and Cyrus along the way. In addition to the releases on Chestplate, Distance has also released on several essential Dubstep labels such as Tectonic, Hotflush and Ringo. Last year he released his critically lauded debut album, My Demons, on Mike Paradinas’ Planet Mu label.
