BMR002: RICHIE AUGUST - DEATH PROOF

Richie August is the master of violent and intoxicating dubstep. His career started in 1998 as a DJ oscillating between hip hop and drum and bass. In 2000, he extended his talents to production and brought his own sharp artistry to crafting examples of both genres. The next seven years were spent working with hip hop artist Skope the Lyrical MC, until August was exposed to Dubstep in 2008.
Dubstep is the perfect outlet for August's razor like approach to electronic music. Taking cues from American pop culture, and focusing on what is already implicitly vicious, August creates a disconcerting ambience fuelled by malevolent leads and earthquake bass. To cut an accurate cross section of contemporary fears and obsessions, you must need a very sharp knife. August therefore slices and samples everything from Cheers to Tarantino movies, then lets the outward aggression and commentary get tugged underground through the seismic rhythms of Dubstep. The effect is like raving in quicksand: the harder your response, the more it sucks you in.
Debuting on Betamorph Recordings, August now has releases on Savory Audio, Shift, Stupid Fly, 20Twelvedubstep, Filthy Digital, Bass Punch, Dirty Circuit, Dubfront and Trillbass Records.
