Founded early in 2011, Orientis Records aims to introduce new deeper and emotive dimensions to dubstep and other bass musics, by working with artists already breaking the surface, and seeking out underplayed talents deserving of the limelight. For their third release, Orientis welcomes the Bristol based duo Killa and Instinct. Over the last year this duo has sculpted their own unique deep, dark and minimal sound, similar to the early foundation sounds of dubstep, making a heavy impact in the scene and gaining support and recognition from a wide range of DJs. A side ‘Revolt’ is a solo production by Instinct; starting with a unique distorted kick drum sound that rolls along with sparse percussion and spacious metallic re-verbs, the tune then drops into some pure heavy weight sub, accompanied by ghostly choral atmospherics and scattered percussion rhythms guaranteed to get the body moving in any room. On the flip is Killa & Instinct’s remix of Orientis label owner Thelem’s ‘Drones’, which twists up the original with the use of crashing claps and sparse percussion, a hard-hitting pulsating sub, and droning sci-fi atmospherics.
