Title:	Terre/Unwill
Label:	7EVEN (FRANCE)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	7EVEN 001EP

"There's really very little music released under the dubstep umbrella that gets us excited these days, but the last couple of weeks have been an absolute treasure trove of low-end goodness for the more progressive bass-heads among you. Enter Likhan, a French operator who we know close to nothing about but who's pushing all the right buttons as far as we're concerned, here punching in two stripped bass killers that will absolutely crush dub reductionists amongst you with its impeccable production and unfussy arrangements. Admittedly we think this material sounds much much better slowed down to 33, but nonetheless Likhan has bought himself entry to that exclusive club inhabited by the likes of A Made Up Sound, Peverelist, Appleblim, T++ and the like, pushing boundaries and keeping the development and enrichment of style and function at the forefront of masterly sonic objectives."

Title:	Qumran/Daoine Sidhe
Label:	7EVEN (FRANCE)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	7EVEN 003EP

"Likhan is one of the original pioneers of dubstep in France. After years behind the decks spinning jungle and UK garage on the French dancefloors, he started producing in 2002, when the sound was 'dark garage.' He's already getting support from the scene leaders in dubstep including Mary Anne Hobbs who played his tracks several times. His eclectic musical influences and his safe knowledge of bass music makes Likhan's productions easily recognizable. Tight production, subtle effects and a clever use of sampling create a unique, mystic musical universe. His debut 12" Terre/Uwill on 7even Recordings received a large wave of appreciation being selected as 'Single Of The Week' by Boomkat.com. An instant sell out! Two massive tracks combine dubstep, techno and dub sounds, rhythms and vibes with an impeccable production and unfussy arrangements. 'Qumran' and 'Daoine Sidhe' are already supported by major DJs, including Mary Anne Hobbs and Bunzero. Likhan is pushing boundaries and keeping the development and enrichment of style and function at the forefront of masterly sonic objectives."

Title:	Phase One/Icon
Label:	7EVEN (FRANCE)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	7EVEN 004EP

"Techno and dub waves meet fine and wicked beats for a deep dancefloor time! Maximum heavy guaranteed -- 'Phase One ' on the A-side is one for the feet: a long introduction leading to a massive drop -- deep sub, sharp stabs and dubbed-out atmospherics in the vein of contemporary dub techno stylings. On the flip, 'Icon' combines elements inspired by Detroit techno with its melancholic chords and pads, and an original structure of drums and various abstract effects. Techno and dub waves meet fine and wicked beats for a deep dancefloor time! Already supported by Joe Nice, Headhunter, Ramadanman, Scuba, Bunzero, Dave Q (Dubwar NYC) and Peverelist."

Title:	Energy Distortion
Label:	7EVEN (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	7EVEN 001CD

F is the alter ego of French producer and DJ Florent Aupetit. Florent discovered drum and bass as a teenager, an early enthusiasm which pushed him straight out to buy records and a pair of decks. Slowly after this, he set foot on the production path, and began making drum and bass tracks using Fruity Loops. He began to develop a passion for and deepen an interest in the emergent style of UK underground music called dubstep, and eventually started producing dubstep tracks in 2008. His growing love for techno, and other minimal forms of dub led him to combine elements of both styles with stunning results. French dubstep pioneer and 7even Recordings label-head Greg Gouty was immediately captivated by the impeccable levels of production and fresh beats streaming from this talented newcomer. Following a succession of now sold-out 12"s for 7even, F's drops have time and time again grabbed attention from all the major players -- Appleblim, Pinch, Martyn, Scuba, Headhunter, Joe Nice, Peverelist, Untold, Ramadanman are all rinsin' the dubplates. In a little over two years, F has established himself as a pioneering force in new and emerging bass music. Traversing different worlds, atmospheres and vibes, Energy Distortion features much sought-after unreleased tracks ("0907," "Poka," "On The Corner," and "Hologram") and brand new material ("See The Light," "Chillin'," "Perspective"). The album has been beautifully cut and loudly mastered by Shawn Joseph and Jacko Adams at Optimum Studios in Bristol.

Title:	Undivided
Label:	7EVEN (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	7EVEN 002CD

7even Recordings is proud to present the debut album from French electronic music explorer Helixir. Back in his early days, Kevin Martin aka Helixir was affected by his first strong musical experiences listening to Frank Zappa, AFX, Quasimoto and Plastikman. A drummer, bassist and guitarist, in 1997 he founded the experimental jazz rock combo Maelstrom, and soon became interested in working on sound montage on a Tascam mag-tape. Kevin also discovered the computer universe and started to explore new possibilities for his music. A new world appeared, a natural extension of the instrumental world, where Kevin could experiment with many new techniques to blend seamlessly and creatively. Kevin cuts, pastes and distorts notes, beats, waves, genres and effects. He explores these concepts further also as part of Strasbourg's Sens Inverse Crew, playing live at parties in the east of France and in Germany. Recognized for the quality and versatility of these productions, his style is impossible to label -- it is known simply as the "Helixir" style. A master of programming, sound mixing, bass science and EQ, Kevin always surprises and never does the same thing twice. Just listen to his four prior 12"s on 7even Recordings and you'll find different tempos and genres at work: dub, breakbeat, dubstep, drum & bass, indo and techno flavors. Mala, Untold, Mary Anne Hobbs, 2562, F, Ramadanman and Brendon Moeller all support his music. With Undivided, Helixir takes us on board for a deep sonic exploration. This album is not a mere compilation of tracks: this is a story, a musical trip, a vehicle to bring you somewhere else altogether. Press play and let yourself be transported. Two tracks are exclusive to this CD.

Helixir's back for his second 12'' on 7even Recordings! Helixir do it again with "Helicraft" and "Dub 4 P," blending all kinds of influences, from dubstep to techno, jungle, breakstep and dub, produced and executed with immense attention to detail. "Helicraft" is a mad track -- wicked beats, techno loops, old school sounds and tricky mixing potential make it a killer cut. "Dub 4 P" is a real smasher, rolling on a broken riddim and bringing the horns to the dancefloor. Killer.

Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	7EVEN 006EP

The return of the mysterious F on 7even Recordings! "The Untitled Dub" is a melancholic yet melodic track, fusing dub chords with filtered horns and groovy drum patterns. This track has been on the biggest DJs decks, including Appleblim, Ramadanman, 2562 and Peverelist. The journey continues with the minimal darkness of "Phantom" on the flip, a dubby progressive number built on a lush polyrhythmic structure underpinned with a massive surrounding subbass. A certified killer.

Title:	Epilogue
Label:	7EVEN (FRANCE)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	7EVEN 009EP

F has made huge waves on the scene with his unique sculpted approach to dubstep and techno. Dub techno styled A-side "Epilogue"'s clean production and atmospheric textures create the backdrop for a distant beat which drills into the psyche. On the B-side, Ramadanman weighs in with a rework which absolutely slays. You could call it garage, you could call it dub-tech, but this track is so fresh, we're sure it'll have the funky house heads on their hands and knees.

Title:	Convultions/Let Me Drive Now
Label:	7EVEN (FRANCE)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	7EVEN 011EP

Second release by Helixir on 7even Recordings. Recognized as one of the most versatile of the new breed of French electronic music producers, the man from Strasbourg presents two bass-heavy productions in his own percussive style. "Convultions" is a real dancefloor weapon -- the robotic riddim subtly brings a deep sub-bass that becomes more and more insistent. "Let Me Drive Now" brings us through magical percussion, galactic synths and smoky atmospheres. Beautifully and tightly produced.

Title:	115 State/Splendor In The Grass
Label:	7EVEN (FRANCE)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	7EVEN 015EP

"Splendor In The Grass" builds sheer beatdown vibes over a cannily-deployed half-speed drum and bass simply tailor-made for dBridge fans. Gently add a skweezed synth at 1:30 and some emotive strings before some covert riffage turns this into a full-on main room joint. "115 State" picks it up on a revived electro tip, slightly cagier with dubbed-out, delayed figures across a smart Detroit transphixion. DJ support from Mary Ann Hobbs, Laurent Garnier, Marcel Dettmann, and many more.
