"one of Hull's finest producers"
Alan Raw, BBC Introducing Humberside
abeZilla is a music producer and live electronic musician from Hull, UK. While he doesn't consistently fit into one genre, the term "Northern Drum n Bass" has been used often to describe his music which has a "filthy, subversive" sound atypical of poppolar contemporary electronic music.
"Breakbeat driven, heavy Bass music" would be a good overall descriptive term, for those who like to categorise things...[full bio]
This is abeZilla's latest release, the single "I-W.E.S.T-B.A.D".
Showcasing the gritty ambience synonymous with the abeZilla sound but with a more mature feel than previous releases, the programmed drums duck and dive around the insistent "car chase" riff in the bottom end while a piercing synth dials a direct line to your brain.

This is the first EP of the Dodecandrous project, and also abeZilla's first release for three years. It marks a return to the familiar Northern Drum n Bass sound he has crafted over the years.
Think hard-edged atmospheres, off kilter beats and paranoid synths and you'll be on the right track. The EP opens with effected piano sounds drifting into consciousness before the deafening screech of a siren signals the launch of an aural assault. I-W.E.S.T-B.A.D is similar to the single release, but a new mix adds extra life to the track which thunders through to Road to Speculation. Videogame synths keep the bounce going as this trap-influenced drum n bass number grabs you and draws you in. The EP finishes with an updated version of "...Neurosis...". Right from the outset it batters you with techy drums before a short breakdown. Normal service then ensues with layered synths and FXd drums paving the way for the centrepiece wobble, which helped make the original a live favourite.
This EP features:
Memento Mori
I-W.E.S.T-B.A.D
Road to Speculation
In The Grip of The Neurosis Peddler
