Title:	Battle Sequence/Feel Me
Label:	CHESTPLATE (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	CHST 002EP

"Chestplate follows up the success of its first release with another double A-side from label boss, DJ and producer, Distance. Distance was inundated with requests for certain tracks to be released on Chestplate and it is impossible that 'Feel Me' and 'Battle Sequence' will disappoint. The release is an essential addition to the boxes of any discerning Dubstep fan or DJ. Alongside contemporaries like Benga, Skream, Pinch and Digital Mystikz, Distance has been responsible for shaping the dubstep sound as we know it today. With Chestplate, he intends to showcase the freshest of his own productions which have been devastating dances and flooring radio listeners over the recent months. The two tracks featured on the release have been firm favorites in his live sets and on his Rinse FM show, garnering major support from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Hatcha, Pinch, Chef and Cyrus along the way. 'Battle Sequence' sees Distance exercising his darker side. It is a metallic stomper with lethally programmed precision percussion, full of low-end gnarl and stray feedback squeals. On the flip, 'Feel Me' reflects Distance's lighter side. With a suggestive female vocal sample and motorik drum patterns, the track skips along amidst ring modulated synths and subtle low slung, pulsating bass."

Title:	Victim Support
Label:	CHESTPLATE (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	CHST 005EP

"Two of Distance's roughest and toughest riddims to vinyl. If your ribcage hasn't been rattled enough from the previous plates, this one will undoubtedly make your chest cavity collapse. Packing a far more powerful crunch than any downturning economy, Chestplate 005 is essential ammo in the arsenal of any self-respecting dubstep DJ. 'Victim Support' is a classic slice of Distance devastation. Straight-up tear-out material, guaranteed to destroy and more gnarly than Satan's own caged rabid hell-bear. 'Misfit' is the weird, deranged cousin of its flipside. A full body assault, par excellence. When you place this on the platter, make sure you have the Samaritans on speed dial. These tracks have been getting major support from across the dubstep DJ spectrum with full blessings coming from the likes of The Bug, Skream, Mary Anne Hobbs, Benga and Mala, just to count 'em on one mutant hand. Disclaimer: Distance takes no responsibility for any injury, loss of consciousness, heart failure or fatality that results from the playing of these tunes at high volume. Alongside contemporaries like Benga, Skream, Pinch and Digital Mystikz, Distance has been responsible for shaping the dubstep sound as we know it today. Chestplate continues to showcase the freshest of his own productions which have been devastating dancers and flooring radio listeners over the recent months."
