How long have you been making beats and how did you get into it?
We’ve both been producing for about 5 years now, we both heard dubstep for the first time around the same time and wanted to explore producing it!

Where do you draw inspiration from when producing new tunes?
Everything! The music we’ve been listening to lately, particularly metal has a great influence in our music.
And when you’re not making beats what do you like to do?
We both love to play video games.
Tell us about this new release.

Well, we wanted to do something new. So we gave ourselves the challenge to write an EP that all flowed together as one piece of music. We wanted it to cover a lot of different styles, so we transcended many genres when writing it. The intro ‘Avidity’ is meant to be similar to a cinematic trailer soundtrack, to get you ready for what is to come. Depths is a dark and heavy metal drumnbass song that we had Maksim do vocals for, it’s the most in depth (no pun intended) produced song on the EP. ‘100% DEATH’ is kind of an homage to our older sound that got us most of the fans we have currently. ‘Back Again’ is a new direction for us. It’s a 100bpm tune, and we’d never written one of those before. ‘Coda’ is an instrumental hip hop outro we wrote to kinda bring the listener back down after the sonic assault of the rest of the EP! This is our EDMasterpiece.
It’s tough out there in the music industry, any words of advice for new artists?
Carve your own lane, don’t just fall in line.

If you’ve locked onto one of Erb N Dub’s streamed studio sessions, then you’ll have witnessed a producer who revels in the craft of music-making. And that sense of musicianship comes through whether he’s in front of a DAW, behind a real live drum-kit as part of Wicked City or delivering a furiously scratch-laden DJ set. It’s the musician’s symbiosis of the technical and the artistic that means an Erb N Dub production is always innovative and frequently unexpected.

This time round, in Speak & Spell, he commandeers that eponymous Texas Instruments sound and bends it to his will. Right from the beginning, a repeated “Danger” sample over falling arpeggios and ominous strings lay down a warning of an explosion to follow. Then the build is dominated by a Speak & Spell countdown that’s going to make this tune instantly recognisable whenever it’s dropped.

Even though the iconic voice synth sound is deployed to great effect, there’s a lot more going on in this track than that. Erb N Dub flexes some heavyweight production skills to bring us huge stomping drums and chest-reverberating basslines that make this a dancefloor killer. Then there’s the dark journey that the arpeggios take us on, and the sinister presence of the atmospheric strings.

Erb N Dub has taken the classic Speak & Spell sound and used it to guide the rave through a dangerous sonic mission, fraught with fire and impact. It’s another example of this producer’s dedication to his art and his skills and another reason why we should all be paying close attention to what he does next.

Toronto Is Broken Talks About His New Track On Viper Recordings ‘The Sound Of Drum & Bass 2016′ Please tell us a bit about yourself. What have you been up to lately?

Hi, I’m Christian, otherwise known as Toronto is Broken, and despite the name I’m actually based in Leicestershire in the UK. I’ve had my head down in the studio the past couple of months, working on new music, as well as release two singles in quick succession, “Way Down / Original” followed a couple months later by “Voyager II / Want You” and I’ve been really glad with the support and feedback I’ve gotten from these tracks

How did the release on Viper Recordings come along?

Well, last year I released “This Way Up” on the 2015 edition of the album, and since then I’ve kept in contact with Futurebound, sharing brand new music of mine with him and generally

keeping him in the loop with what I’m up to. “Zero One” happened to be one of the dubs I sent over to him which he loved and he decided to stick it on the compilation.

Please tell us a bit about your track featured on ‘The Sound of Drum & Bass 2016′.

“Zero One” originally started life as the bassline of another track of mine, but I decided to take that track in a totally different direction. I kept the bassline however on my hard drive as just an audio file, as the source was heavily processed and a bit unpredictable. I stumbled across this at a later date and chopped it up, added some drums and “Zero One” was born!

The title is inspired from “The Matrix” franchise, the name of the nation the robots created for themselves, after becoming banished from human society. I’m really drawn into science fiction and anime, which has always, has a major influence on the music I make and how I name my tracks.

What are your plans for 2016?

I’ve already 95% finished my next single for Sub Slayers, that came together quickly, so that should be out early summer, I believe. On top of that, I’ve got a brand new 3-track EP coming out, that’s been my biggest project to date since my debut album “Section Nine” just over a year ago. Over a years’ worth of work has gone into these tracks and I’m really proud of them! I can’t say the title or where it’s coming out yet, but as it stands it’s due for a late April release. I’ve just finished a couple of remixes and I’m starting a fresh batch of them that will be out over the course of this year.
