In January of 2009, WattHz (Watt Hertz) began as a regular dubstep night in Perth, Australia. It has provided a platform for many local dj’s and producers, both new and experienced, to show their wares. It has also teamed up with other local promoters to bring over international players such as Pinch, Kryptic Minds and LD.
Now after 2 years of dubstep promotion, WattHz is proud to announce its arrival as a record label. The first release is a continuation of its focus on unearthing local talent. The Isolated City LP is a compilation of local producers who are all contributors to underground music in Perth.
Some of the artists on this LP have already had a number of releases whilst for others it will be their debut. From the ambient sound-scapes of Eggchan and Vishnu to the neuro-dub flavours of Zanetic, from the deep n dubby contribution from Ylem to the crunchy dancefloor modulations of A-Step, the melodic stepper from DYP to the dark vibe of Proximity Effect; there is a little bit of something for everyone on the Isolated City LP.
Whether you have played a set, helped promote, attended a gig or produced a track for WattHz… I would like to thankyou very much for that support. With plenty of releases in the pipeline, branching out into many genres and places abroad, WattHz will endeavour to continue to expand and diversify underground electronic music.
