Horsepower Productions & Raw Future Sound

Horsepower Productions are known for their originality and unique style, and have inspired many with their groundbreaking approach to music production. Many credit them, alongside El-B, Zed Bias and others, with the creation of the genre now known as dubstep, while they also played a key role in establishing the seminal Tempa Recordings imprint. Their debut LP/CD, In Fine Style, was released in November 2002 and is still available today, having been regarded as a classic by many commentators from the scene and other influential artists. Many of their early 12" vinyl releases (now largely out of print) have become highly collectible and have been included on compilations documenting the origins of the dubstep scene. They have consistently delighted and surprised critics with their constantly innovative approach to production. What is most apparent when listening to their music is the diversity of their influences. Their inspiration is drawn from a broad cross-section of musical culture, including UK Garage, Techno, House, Reggae, Hip Hop, Jungle, Funk and Soul, as well as a particular interest in film and cinema. Raw Future Sound is more than a music project; it is a journey into art and creativity, inspired by sound as a concept. Raw Future Sound blends Early Reggae, Dub, Experimental, Ambient, Dance and Contemporary Music, at times flirting with the genres of Future Folk and Outer Dancehall. Raw Dub meets harmony, creating a space for musical intuition.
