Transition. It's a word that takes you from one place to another. It's also a small studio round the back of an unassuming building in South London. More specifically, it's the working HQ of
Jason Goz
, the man who helped shape the dubstep sound with his Neumann cutting lathe -- and his higher level ears, if course -- and it is the first port of call for a whole roll-call of artists from original nuttahs like
Mala
,
Coki
,
Loefah
,
Burial
,
Kode 9
,
Skream
and
Benga
to the international artists who only want their shit cut at Transition, as well as a heady brew of musicians including everyone from
Jah Shaka
to funky man-of-the-moment
DJ Paleface
to avant-garde ambient don
Christian Fennesz
. Initially, most of the custom came from the reggae community. Word soon spread and thanks to some flyers in Big Apple and a call from
Magnetic Man
's
Arthur "Artwork" Smith
, Jason became the man that all the early dubstep producers went to for their dubs. It's also why he runs two labels, one named after the cutting house Transition and another named Ringo, after Jason's sadly departed dog who would be there, lying under the desk at 2am when Jason would be cutting and cutting for late-night sound-clash business. The labels are going strong, which is why Ringo has compiled these CDs of past and future releases, including 3 brand-new exclusive tracks. Other artists include:
Distance
,
LD
,
Cluekid
,
G Squad
,
Kromestar
,
Johnny Clarke
,
Mr. Lager
,
Alyce Be
and
Silkie
.

Format:
12"
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
RNG 006EP
"LD's sound is his own. Drawing on his roots, you can hear the drum pan sounds of Jamaica resonating throughout, flashes of Soca drums, subtle tribal nuances, and the ghost of jungle reverberating in the warm, pulsating sub bass. So what next for LD? It seems now is the time for LD to make the transition from behind the scenes and into the limelight. DJ support from Mala, N-Type & DJ Chef."

Artist:
CLARK VS. MALA/COKI, JOHNNY
Title:
Sinners/Goblin
Label:
RINGO RECORDS (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
RNG 008EP
"Ringo Records, the outward spew of the legendary Transition Studios, snug in the heart of dubstep territory, confound the unsuspecting public with more heavyweight material from the scene's core artists. Mala re-rubs a Johnny Clarke classic with typical panache; reverential dub-wise handling invested with bass technology and infused with Rasta teachings. Fellow Digital Mystik Coki provides a coarse counterpoint with 'Goblin,' a 'Spongebob part 2,' with ferocious synth action that few, if any, can better."
Artist:
LD VS. CLUEKID
Title:
Jays Reese/The Intro
Label:
RINGO RECORDS (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
RNG 010EP
"A strand emerging within dubstep is a mutant jungle strain within the sound. Needless to say, it's impossible to imagine dubstep without the DNA of jungle: it's prominent in so many ways and places, from Burial's Foul Play influences to Loefah's love of the sound itself. Members of the scene used to DJ jungle, from N Type and Kode9 to Jason (Transition's mighty mastering engineer). In fact the whole 'dark' component that makes dubstep distinct from UK garage has its roots in El-B's twin love of Metalheadz and 2step. Jungle is less an influence on dubstep, more like the foundation on which the whole scene, via garage, was built. But in spite of all that, a re-emphasis on jungle-flavored dubs is emerging within dubstep; songs that use chopped breaks, epic pads, and vocal samples like it was 1994, from producers LD and Cluekid."
