his new 3xLP Eight is without a doubt the most upfront, muscular Deadbeat record to date.

Deadbeat - To Much Pressure

Deadbeat - Double Bubble
3
Deadbeat - Rattle The Roof Down
Canada’s dub maestro Deadbeat makes a welcome return to Echocord to round out the year with his ‘Pressure Double Down’ EP, comprised of three original cuts.
Adopted Montrealer, Scott Montieth aka Deadbeat has been at the forefront of dub tinged Techno and Minimal leaning sounds since the turn of the millennium, racking up albums on the beloved Pole helmed ~scape in the early 2000’s before going on to run his own label BLKRTZ where he regularly release material, as well as further releases on imprints such as Wagon Repair and of course Echocord, where he returns here with his latest collection of works.
‘Too Much Pressure’ leads the EP, a fifteen minute excursion through intricate percussion, choppy, dubbed out stab sequences and psychedelic vocals all infused with Deadbeat’s signature subtly unfurling flair and nuanced dynamism.
‘Double Bubble’ follows and lays down an amalgamation of delicately intertwined chord melodies, sub bass tones spiralling echoes and a crunchy analogue rhythm section. ‘Rattle The Roof Down’ then concludes the EP on a more minimal tinged tip, bringing a heavy low-end dub reggae bass groove to the front while spacey percussive delays and murky swells ebb and flow throughout the hypnotic groove.

SHORT INFO:
Over the past 24 years, Scott Monteith's Deadbeat project has spanned a dizzying array of musical references and genres, exploring everything from left-field reggae to downbeat experiments, purifying drone excursions and ambient noise, extranational percussion workouts, and hypnotic techno and house.
VITAL SALES POINTS:
In the last 24 years Scott Monteith's Deadbeat project has covered a dizzying array of musical references and genres, exploring everything from from left field reggae and downbeat experiments, purifying drone and ambient noise excursions, outer-national percussion work outs, and hypnotic techno and house.
On his first solo album in 5 years, Monteith offers up what is perhaps the most powerful, tightly dance floor focused album of his storied carrier, and a soul cleansing, poignant sound track to the fears and hardships of a world gone mad, entitled Kübler-Ross Soliloquies.
The Kübler-Ross model describes the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. A soliloquy is defined as an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud alone by oneself or regardless of any hearers.
Over the album's 8 tracks, Monteith explores each of these stages with a clear eyed focus and confidence that are a testament to his dual role as a kind, smiling musical selector and monkish technological nerd ball of the highest order.

DeadBeat - Adieu Chez Cherie
After releasing Undefined, Kazufumi Kodama and Babe Roots, the 4th release from a Japanese experimental dub label newdubhall welcomes the ever-evolving pioneer of minimal dub and dub techno Deadbeat, a solo project of Scott Monteith hailing from Canada. Side A 'Things Fall Apart' will feature a beatless dub ambient which shares a perspective of free jazz and 'Adieu Chez Cherie,’ an absolute knockdown four on the floor dub techno on the flip side. Though simple, both sides are layered with complexity, let yourself experience the profundity of newdubhall with this masterpiece.

deadbeat - VQ Infinity Dub
This June will see the release of Deadbeat's "Jacks and Slow Dances" EP on Visionquest Records. The EP kicks off with massive bass, big toms and cascading synths and effects that build with the "Boom Jack" vocal, until diving into a driving kick. The patient tension continues and the repeated synths rise and fall as the rhythm of the vocal becomes more frequent and more manic, sure to excite the dance floor. For the A2 Shaun Reeves' remix of "Keep On Dancing" drops a 4/4 kick on the track and adds a classic Berlin low slung bass line that bumps along with some added sub bass, while delayed keys drift across the top. It's perfect for summer sessions at Club Der Visionaire, which is a frequent haunt for both artists. The B side kicks off with the original mix of "Keep On Dancing", and sounds as though the listener is dropped into some remote jungle in the middle of the night. Monteith's beautiful and casual vocal arrives drenched in reverb while the minimal percussion accompanies his thoughts along the way. The song continues through the night as an arpeggiated bass synth leads the listener toward the 4/4 kick and the delightfully swung hi-hats that follow. The EP is rounded out by "VQ Infinity Dub, an uptempo jam that starts with his mature building of percussion and cascading synths and vocals that drive and pulsate the track forward. Foregoing the typical use of the big clap/snare, Montieth instead relies on the kick and shakers to keep the track moving and it just goes to show how effective his unique and unconventional his style can truly be.

The album began with the simple idea of asking friends from across the globe for messages of hope. No musical input was provided before hand, and each participant was free to interpret the request as they saw fit. Though some of the names involved will be familiar to electronic music listeners (Gudrun Gut, Thomas Fehlmann, Mike Shannon), the common thread linking all of them is their friendship with Monteith and the many hours he has spent enjoying their company over the years. As so often happens when good conversation is shared among good friends, the results are as surprising as they are inspiring, spanning original prose, dialectic word games, and timeless quotations in six languages. Each song on the album was then composed around the content received, and named after the people who did the speaking. Ranging from the overtly political to the tenderly inspirational and many points in between, Wax Poetic For This Our Great Resolve provides verbal expressions of hope as diverse and rich as the experiences of the people who so generously delivered them.

Deadbeat presents the second vinyl only release leading up to his forth coming album, Walls and Dimensions. While the first installment featured a lucious extended ambient drone piece over 2 sides, part 2 features extended dubs of 2 of the albums dance floor cuts filled to the brim with the space age dub effects, mournful melodies and rumbling bass lines Deadbeat fans have come to expect. Another exciting indication of things to come with the soon to be released 10th Deadbeat album.

Deadbeat and Sa Pa are pleased to present their first collaborative album on the anniversary of BLKRTZ's 50th release, and defer to Albert Camus to describe the "Whys" and "Whats" of it:
" I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain. One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

Appleblim. Deadbeat. Shackleton. For anyone with a penchant for dub wise low end sonics and bleeding edge beat science over the last 2 decades seeing any one of these names on their own on a record would make it something well worth having a listen to. Having all 3 together on the same record however very easily launches it into the realm of "buy on sight". Comprised of 4 side long tracks previously only available via the BLKRTZ Bandcamp page, Dub Conference vol 1 sees these 3 masters of bass weight meditations exploring some of the most low slung and psychedelic corners of their respective catalogues. Vinyl only and strictly limited edition, this is a meeting of the minds not to me missed.

Canadian Berlin based producers Scott Monteith aka Deadbeat and Colin de la Plante aka the Mole are please to announce the release of their debut collaborative album, simply titled Deadbeat meets the Mole. While the two have performed and toured extensively together over the years particularly via their shared association with the Mutek festival and the Cynosure and Wagon Repair labels, this is the first time they've worked in the studio as a duo. Composed over the lock down period in Berlin, the album's ten tracks traverse the full range of their shared bonkers musical interests, taking in low slung house, dub, hip hop, and smoked out sound collages. When asked about the albums motivations they had this to say: “I guess Capital H Hosers is a badge we could both wear pretty honestly. Perpetual tweakers of knobs and pushers of buttons both literal and personal might be another. Stay at home dads. Tellers of untold incredibly bad jokes. Yet miraculously, some 20 years on, still somehow on the same weird page, and counting our lucky stars for all you kind folks who still care to listen. We finally got around to making an album during this little unscheduled vacation from normal life, and we hope you'll have as much fun listening to it as we did making the stuff.”

Ryan Crosson - Feet VanVleet (Deadbeat's Raptor Dub)
The 401 highway which connects Detroit on it’s southern end and Montreal some 900 km to the north east is quite possibly one of the most ugly, boring drives known to man. A seemingly endless stream of nondescript pine wood forests and cookie cutter suburban hell holes fill the gaps between 3 magnetic poles. Detroit, the Motor City of former untold grandeur, and current bastion of cheap rents and boundless American artistic enterprise. Toronto, the city Drake built, alongside the World Champion Raptor basketball team from which this EP takes it’s inspiration. And Montreal, the sin city of the north, the French Canadian Mecca of contact dancing strip bars, where bikers and the Mafia’s 6th family jockey for power and have everyone from the mayor’s office on down in their pockets. No great surprise then that this geographical well spring of nocturnal indulgence and scrappy street hustle has produced some of the greatest music purpose built for late night dance floors, be they housed in gay bars, illegal raves, private lofts, after parties, or forward thinking drug dens. And if any two people were qualified enough to recount the sordid tales one might find in the nooks and crannies of these secret sanctuaries of the wee hours, rest assured Ryan Crosson and Deadbeat have stories for days. For the 20th release on Deadbeat’s BLKRTZ label, these 2 long time friends deliver 2 atom bombs of breaks driven groove filled with dubbed out vocals, massive funk and impossibly heavy bass weight, sure to appeal to fans of their previous work and Djs from across the dance music spectrum. House, Techno, Breaks, Two Step, Dub Step, Hardcore...File under HEAVY weaponry and love for days.

The album began with the simple idea of asking friends from across the globe for messages of hope. No musical input was provided before hand, and each participant was free to interpret the request as they saw fit. Though some of the names involved will be familiar to electronic music listeners (Gudrun Gut, Thomas Fehlmann, Mike Shannon), the common thread linking all of them is their friendship with Monteith and the many hours he has spent enjoying their company over the years. As so often happens when good conversation is shared among good friends, the results are as surprising as they are inspiring, spanning original prose, dialectic word games, and timeless quotations in six languages. Each song on the album was then composed around the content received, and named after the people who did the speaking. Ranging from the overtly political to the tenderly inspirational and many points in between, Wax Poetic For This Our Great Resolve provides verbal expressions of hope as diverse and rich as the experiences of the people who so generously delivered them.

Units and Measurements is the collaborative project of Christopher Hreno, Mathew Jonson and Colin de la Plante. The project sees these long times friends and veteran producers exploring the limits of hardware based improvisation and deep synthesis and effects programing . Documenting a single epic 24 hour session at Jonson's mothership studio in Berlin, this first release sees the trio exploring some of the headiest ambient and tunneling hypnotic techno to be found in any of their admittedly vast individual back catalogs. This release is without question a portrait of 3 masters of their craft at work, and quite unlike anything else you are likely to hear this year.

Deadbeat presents the second vinyl only release leading up to his forth coming album, Walls and Dimensions. While the first installment featured a lucious extended ambient drone piece over 2 sides, part 2 features extended dubs of 2 of the albums dance floor cuts filled to the brim with the space age dub effects, mournful melodies and rumbling bass lines Deadbeat fans have come to expect. Another exciting indication of things to come with the soon to be released 10th Deadbeat album.

Deadbeat. Tikiman. Infinity. Dub. A quadrangle of such obvious statement and perfect musical inference may very well never have been uttered for those of the wholly weeded out persuasion. Indeed, when the great book of Dub music is written the names Scott Monteith and Paul St Hilaire will undoubtedly figure highly in its chapters devoted to recent years. Monteith, the last great prodigal son of the doctrine handed down from the Blue Mount of Lord Scratch and King Tubby, St Hilaire the undisputed voice of a generation, those fanatical warrior monks, followers of the most Holy House of Ernestus and Von Oswald incarnate. Having developed a fast friendship from their very first meeting in Montreal at the premier Micro Mutek event a decade ago, Deadbeat and Tikiman's occasional collaborative performances have since blown the minds of audiences from Berlin to Tokyo and many points in between. No great surprise then that their first album length venture is a Tour de Force of Dub music of the highest order. Nearly a year in the making, the genetic code of Deadbeat's Infinity Dubs series gets shot through with a Dreader than Dread Kingstonian logic, hi hats dropping back from the three to the one, Tikiman at his most militant, poetic, fierce, and flowing. These are the recordings of two lions uncaged, and none who bare witness shall escape their fiery judgement. If music is truly eternal, here be two voices which shall echo in infinity with all the weight, reverence, and dire power unleashed with every tectonic bass hit, and every whimsical turn of phrase. And if these eight burnt offerings are any indication of what happens when these two sit down for a session of smoke and reasoning, here's hoping they choose to do it frequently. Dub without end. Ad Infinitum.

Deadbeat's dub credentials are by this point are as solid as they come, and being asked to remix 2 of the genre's heaviest hitters, not once, but twice is just about the greatest complement anyone in said position could ever hope to receive. Originally released on CD as part of the deluxe package for the mind blowing collaborative Orb and Scratch albums via Cooking Vinyl, we here at BLKRTZ are over the moon excited to commit these 2 dub monsters to wax for the first time. Without a doubt, this limited vinyl only 12 inch release is an essential purchase for any and all archivist of all things dub wise.

The latest installment in Deadbeat's Infinity Dubs series sees him submerging his rhythms deep into the echo chamber, offering up 2 solid state dubs with basslines so low only the largest systems will even register their presence. Enlightenment through stoic repetition is the order of the day here, and Deadbeat once again proves his unrivaled skills as a master hypnotist on both cuts. Don't sleep

Deadbeat continues his Infinity Dubs series with 2 more peak time burners of dubby dancefloor goodness. ID3 features the unmistakable vocals of frequent collaborator Paul St Hilaire aka Tikiman arriving mid way through the side and invoking a perfect summer time message of peace and love for all. ID4 on the flip meanwhile takes things into vintage hardcore territory with a razor sharp lead voice of classic analog stabs and a tougher than tough rhythm of thrashing two step snares and power techno kick drums. Whether prime time at the club or beach side these 2 newest salvos from the BLKRTZ don are sure to kick any summer dance floor worth it's salt into a frenzy.

Originally released on Montreal's long defunct Intr_version label in 2001, Primordia was Scott Monteith's first foray into the album format, and some 13 years on serves as a remarkable document of the driving aesthetic touchstones which even at this early stage were bubbling to the surface and have gone on to define the sound of his Deadbeat project in the many years since. Over the course of 7 colossal slabs of crackling digital atmospheres and rumbling drone, a dirge of muted kick drums serve as the only steady anchor in a sea of wildly unhinged and naive sound experimentation, with the whole lovely mess plummeting into a endless cloud of decaying echos, granular processing, and cracked software reverb plugins. With it's production coinciding with the first years of his tenure at the Montreal based music software company Applied Acoustics systems, Primordia is the sound of the young dub Padawan reveling in the endless possibilities of modular software synthesis, and relishing each and every new discovery and mistake along the way. Re-released on CD and for the first on lavish double vinyl with remastering by long time friend and cohort Stefan Betke aka Pole
