Andy Stott:
Looking back at UK dub techno producer Andy Stott’s body of work as a whole rather than two or three tracks at a time reveals a back catalog every bit as rich as his peers. Blessed with an ear for space and a knack for constructing tracks that are simultaneously smooth and rumbling, Stott neatly strides the axis between intelligent techno, dub techno and dubstep.
Drawing inspiration from the usual dub techno suspects (Basic Channel is loud and clear) and fusing them with minimalist ideals and bathwater-warm melodies and textures, Stott’s tracks offer a deep home listening experience, as well as the requisite punch to make club floors move.
Working with consistent tones and a palette that never seems to get tired, Stott makes even his most dissimilar material sit comfortably together long enough to take a loving family portrait.

12″ Review:
Been working ourselves up into a sweat with this one, the first one-sided twelve on Modern Love for over a year and Andy Stott’s biggest club destroyer since the release of his overnight sellout ‘Hostile’ 12″ a couple of years back. “Night Jewel” is a classic dancefloor builder, amassing deadly ingredients on shuffling keys, a heaving square bassline and the kind of reverberating chords reminiscent of Move D at his most mesmerising. In between his darker bass experiments, it’s nice to see Stott getting peaktime moves out of his system and onto the floor, channelling a heaving mass of feelgood vibes, honed and primed for the early hours. Essential twelve!
