Substax - Beam Me Up Scotty
11 Jan 2006 // A review by claudia
'Substax are the new kids on the block in the emerging New Zealand breaks scene. In a musical genre affectionately known as the bastard child of all things electric, Substax are dedicated to a sound that adds and cuts the phat in all the right places. Their rhythms are an exercise of musical hopscotch based on the breakbeat, injecting a refreshing twist to the elastic diet of dance muzak.'

Substax - Play Records Album review
11 Jan 2006 // by claudia
Having provided the soundtrack for many memorable moments at Splore parties and the like for a number of years, Substax finally touch down with their debut full-length; a veritable cornucopia of warming beats and bass for the chilly winter months. Primarily regarded as a breaks outfit (Timmy Schumacher cut his production teeth with Substax), Electro Soul Plane opens up the field to include a wide array of styles, all undertaken with considerable aplomb.
