Argon Records?

Post by tasurinchi » Thu Jun 26, 2014 11:12 am

Hi there,

I was just listening to some old Argon Radio show from SubFM and thinking how great these guys were and what smashing tunes they used to release. Matty G, Babylon System, Noah D etc. rocked the dancefloors some years ago when I started listening to dubstep. Does anybody know what happened to them and to owner Nick Argon? A quick discogs search tells me they haven't released anything after 2012. Are they still active producers/djs? Maybe under different names or on different scenes than the dubstep one?

Cheers

I can't speak on their behalf but from my perspective i got the impression that since they were geographically right at the hotspot where dubstep 'started to go wrong' (obviously debatable although i'd say absolutely) they just slowly fell off due to the disencouraging situation, Nick first and Matty got into exploring other sides of music he's always loved but returned to doing so by himself as far as i know. Both are the best of people as well as being responsible for some great music.

I know that the Babylon System guys have been doing their side projects (Roommate and No Thing) but definitely not at the same pace...

Which is too bad, because they actually did some of the best tearout ever.

that's a good question. i asked matty g on facebook, he replied:

"Nick Argon moved on to other things and is now making clocks with a 3d printer, Justin Roommate is still making music and running his label Avocaudio. Noah D and Tom (the other half of Babylon System) are working on a jungle project together. I'm not really making beats anymore, at least not trying to do it the way I was, so I'm a bit out of the loop. Hope this helps"

I heard that the reason why Nick Argon moved on is because of some troubles with physical sales. Kinda dissapointing, they were releasing some good stuff back then.
