"San Francisco, CA's Surefire Sound starts off the new decade with a bang and launches their brand new label with an energetic single by Eprom. A fast rising West Coast bass technician, DJ and producer, Sander Dennis, aka Eprom, delivers funky, techy four-four beats on 'Never.' Eprom's original mix opens with rattling hi-hats and a hushed female vocal accented by Eprom's patented twitchy synths. A hefty kick drops, braced by a thick, bouncy mid-range bass pattern. Like recent tracks by Untold or Ramadanman, 'Never' blurs the divisions between dubstep, funky, techno and garage to form an irresistible new creation. Hyped newcomer FaltyDL had a breakthrough year in 2009. The New Yorker introduced his versatile, soulful electronic styles on a slew of singles for Planet Mu and Ramp. His Rephresh mix is a moody, shuffling reconstruction that features echoing samples, an infectious start/stop rhythm and mighty bass sweeps. DL's mix is built for maximum club pressure. About Surefire Sound: Surefire Sound is a new record label presented by the Surefire music group whose goal is to showcase upcoming and established talent in electronic music. The label is part of a collection of projects under the Surefire banner including a booking agency, PR firm, and events management division.

"Surefire Sound's second single release features four heavyweight producers representing the UK and North America. This innovative tag-team set brings together dub-tech pioneers collaborating on a pair of earth-moving tracks. Leading off the release is the UK's Tony Williams, a.k.a. Headhunter, a veteran Bristol producer with numerous releases on Tempa, alongside Joseph S. Hanks Jr, -- Djunya to his mates -- a stalwart SF artist whose tracks on Narco Hz, Lo Dubs and Eight FX have established him as a major player. Combing the best of their respective spacious and spacey sounds, 'El Presidente' is a luminous, rolling track, equipped with pulsating bass and reverberating synth stabs. It's truly King Tubby-style dub for the 21st century. The track is getting massive advance play from artists like Jus Wan, F and Mary Anne Hobbs, to name a few. SF's Dean J. Grenier, a.k.a. DJG has risen quickly in the electronic ranks via singles on Tube 10, Subway and Narco Hz that showcase his potent techy tracks. He links up with Toronto, Canada's XI, whose releases on Formant and Immerse have lead to mixes for Sonic Router and a growing international following. 'Putney Says' features an intricate, percussive rhythm that lumbers like a giant, each step punctuated by mountainous bass thumps. Sizzling analog synths, vaporous filtered pads and well-timed drops round out this effective and tension-building work. "
