CHLLNGR is the last single before Dubfire's debut album EVOLV drops. An 11-track visionary into the mind of Dubfire to be released on his long-standing label SCI+TEC. EVOLV's concept? The journey of the "hybrid" being and its evolution since its first appearance in 2015, as part of his two-year world tour following the release of his retrospective release A Decade Of Dubfire. With a career spanning over three decades, Dubfire has achieved global success as an artist with relentless drive, talent, and intuition. Pioneering commercial notoriety came initially as one half of the Grammy award (2001) winning duo Deep Dish, before embarking on a truly groundbreaking solo career in 2007. A career filled with timeless tracks include his early works "Ribcage", "Emissions", "Roadkill" and the highly acclaimed "Exit" with Kiss Kitten. Collaborative work highlights include Luke Slater, Moscoman, Oliver Huntemann, Chris Liebing, Tiga and co-producing two tracks on the legendary Underworld's Barking album. Sonically, the journey so far has been like a dystopian landscape, but "Decent" brings a kaleidoscope of color and sound before dropping into the "CHALLNGR" duo. "CHALLNGR 1.1" is perhaps the most contemporary track on the album. Dubfire picks up the rhythm for a full-on dancefloor focused track. It's no-nonsense techno at its best, with heaps of pure energy. Two versions appear on the album.

Dubfire announces his debut solo album on his SCI+TEC imprint. With a career spanning over three decades, Dubfire has achieved global success as an artist with relentless drive, talent, and intuition. Pioneering commercial notoriety came initially as one half of the Grammy award (2001) winning duo Deep Dish, before embarking on a truly groundbreaking solo career in 2007. A career filled with timeless tracks include his early works "Ribcage" (2007), "Emissions" (2007), "Roadkill" (2007) and the highly acclaimed "Exit" (2014) a debut collaboration with Miss Kitten. EVOLV is a visionary trip into the mind of Dubfire to be released on his long-standing label SCI+TEC. It's concept? The journey of the "hybrid" being and its evolution, which kicks off with "Dark Matter" and "Dust & Gas" set a brooding atmosphere. The rougher percussion, and eerie lead in "Dark Matter" is accompanied by a stripped-back sound and glitchy vocals sitting in a spaced-out atmosphere in "Dust & Gas". Its deep and minimal drum work is exceptional. "Escape", a deep, dark and pulsating track that sets the tone for the body of work on the album. Coupled with "Elevation" and it's understated arp and crisp percussion for the second single. "Bottom Dweller" give you two different versions, the original is straight forward, yet effective for a late-night head down cut, where the "Meltdown Mix" takes a minimal path, and faster pace. "Swerve" sees Dubfire return to that stripped-back sound with heavy swinging percussion, a landmark and much-loved element in his music. Sonically, the journey so far has been like a dystopian landscape, but "Decent" brings a kaleidoscope of color and sound before dropping into the "CHALLNGR" duo. "CHALLNGR 1.1" is perhaps the most contemporary track on the album. Dubfire picks up the rhythm for a full-on dancefloor focused track. It's no-nonsense techno at its best, with heaps of pure energy. Two versions appear on the album, "CHALLNGR 1.2" retains the BPM but reigns in the percussion with a snappier approach and a more euphoric warped effect. As music evolves, so does Dubfire. EVOLV is a special project from this pioneering producer showing his interpretation of techno in his own unique vision. Five-LP boxset; matte with front UV spot varnish.

SCITEC 182EP

Eminent SCI + TEC founder Dubfire returns with another chaos-conjuring techno composition. Dubfire finally unleashes "Dust Devil"."Dust Devil" is all about precision momentum. A move that Dubfire's made his signature, you can physically feel movement and destination throughout. Maksim Dark provides a remix of Dubfire's classic "Rabid". The young Russian talent Maksim takes the listener back to the roots of Ali's journey as Dubfire, stripping out the hypnotic percussion of the original while retaining the intoxicating textures and twisted processed vocal, fixing the focus on space-aged, widescreen synth strikes and relentless low-end pulsation.

SCITEC 003EP

Remixes by Audion, UNKLE, and Booka Shade! "'I Feel Speed' -- the third release by SCI+TEC -- offers a rousing progressive house interpretation of an overlooked Love & Rockets song with Dubfire on vocal duty. A substantial nod to his musical beginnings, 'I Feel Speed' is further proof that artistically, Dubfire isn't afraid to push boundaries, something for which he's been increasingly heralded. While the 'Dubfire Original Club Mix' is not a true reflection of Dubfire's current sound, the remix package certainly is! The original is based around live drums, rock riff and a vocal from Dubfire himself that generates real emotion. First on remix duty comes the awesome Booka Shade who expertly chop up the vocals and efx, matching them with a driving electro rhythm and their trademark synths. With a super fresh remix from Matthew Dear in his Audion mode, the track pushes the boundaries of modern sound. Once again, Dear delivers a quirky remake that is totally different yet refreshingly upbeat -- tailored completely for the main room floors!! UNKLE completes the package with a torrential progressive house take."
