Instruments from around the world, ghostly remnants of 8-bit video game soundtracks, and breaky drums from 60s-70s funk are just some of the things that can often meet with rhythms inspired by drum n bass, footwork, dubstep, and 'trap'. In the early days of dubstep, Coleco made waves in the scene with his 12" releases on Soul Motive, 'Campfire Funk', and 'Hypnagogia'. Bringing together dubstep, world music, and his signature style in the engineering of funky breaks, he saw support from scene leaders such as Skream, and Nihal (BBC R1). Other releases at around 140bpm include featuring as the first release on Thelem's 'Orientis Records' label. Always staying one step ahead, as music has morphed, so has Coleco's productions. The new rise of uptempo 160/170bpm footwork and 'trap' inspired beats has seen Coleco bringing a distinctly UK edge to these fresh rhythms, with tunes like Spatial and Focus 10 reminiscent of the dark basslines of breakstep, with more speed and swagger. He's also been pushing these new styles of music to a receptive crowd with the Inflect brand, which he co-runs with his partner. Consisting of a blog and series of nights in Bristol with a heavy emphasis on future facing uptempo 160/170bpm styles, they've hosted the likes of Alix Perez, Phaeleh, Boxcutter, Fracture, Ital Tek, Lung, EAN, Adam Elemental and lots more. Coleco's fresh blend of styles has recently drawn support from pioneering names such as dBridge, Rockwell (BBC R1), Xtrah, Kode9, and Sam Binga. 2013 has also seen a release on Med School's 'New Blood 013' compilation, widely received free tracks on TrapDoor Records, and mix features for FatKidOnFire and Hedmuk. With unannounced releases in the pipeline and a hand in various projects aimed at bringing through the freshest music, you'll be sure to hear alot more of Coleco's name in the coming years.
