Imagine combining Lifted Music with 3 of the Dubstep scenes biggest, most progressive artists. Now, throw in the fact that two of Lifted Music’s most recognised back catalogue anthems have been remixed by these said artists. Then, let your mouth water at the idea of a 12” consisting of Spor ‘Knock You Down’ (Eskmo Remix) and Apex ‘Nowhere to Run’ (Datsik & Excision Remix). Go on, we’ll let you dribble for a moment…
Scheduled for full release on 31st May 2010, Lifted Music presents their debut release within the Dubstep genre, and judging by the enormous feedback, things look sharp. Featuring heavily on rotation in both scenes, including BBC Radio 1 airplay in mixes, LFTDSTEP001 has raised the level of Lifted Music’s output once again. Crossing the boundaries between the two scenes is often an eyebrow-raising moment, but having drafted in Dubstep’s finest exports, confidence is at an all-round high.
Eskmo’s grudging approach to the seminal debut release from Spor on LFTD001 with ‘Knock You Down’ is a testament to progression at its finest. Around 4 years old, Eskmo has breathed life into an already exhilarating classic. Fortunately, it doesn’t stop there. Aggro ‘140’ maestros Datsik & Excision go hard on ‘Nowhere To Run’, the original from Lifted Music specialist Apex on his LFTD004 ‘Wall of Sound’ EP. Transforming and growling between bars, this industrial remix was recently featured in Excisions recent BBC Radio 1 Mix.
Full release is penned for 31st May 2010 from all good outlets but you can by a pre-release copy on shoplifted.co.uk. Audio, as ever, is available to hear over out the official Lifted Music YouTube Channel.
March 29th 2010 marks a historic day for Lifted Music, with Spor at the centre of attention. The most anticipated release of the year has finally landed, and we know it was worth the wait. Fronted and packaged by some of the most intricate,
and downright naughty, artwork we've seen yet, the 'Conquerors and Commoners' EP is finally available worldwide from all good outlets. If, for some unknown reason, you haven't managed to catch a ear of the 4 masterpieces yet, head on over to the Official Lifted Music Youtube page to review the tracks. Otherwise, head straight over to your desired outlet for your own copy or get it from us directly by purchasing from shoplifted.
Four of the most exciting tracks to date from Spor, the ‘Conquerors and Commoners’ EP is a benchmark for both Lifted Music, and the scene as a whole.
Many producers have begun to try their hand at genre-bouncing into Dubstep, but in our opinion, very few pull it off in style. With that said, here's a clip taken from the latest Radio 1Essential Mix featuring 'Pacifica' from Spor. You make your own mind up...
Two of Canada’s greatest dubstep exports have landed on the LFTD soil, and my have they left an imprint. Currently being played to death on YouTube with over 24,000 views on one video alone, as well as being cained in both DnB and Dubstep sets, the dynamic duo have opened the ears of many to the Lifted Music sound. In keeping with the progressional vision that Lifted strives to maintain, their exciting take on Apex’s ‘Nowhere To Run’ leaves little room for pussy-footing, demonstrating that raw, trademark aggression blended superbly with Apex’s original vibe.
This release is also available for pre-order on Lifteds online store, shoplifted.co.uk.
Now, You’d be forgiven if you came across ‘StevenRock137’ on YouTube if you went in search of LFTDSTEP001, as we ourselves did. Not only were you treated to the aggressive sounds of Datsik & Excision, but also a heartfelt message before an onslaught of Dubstep stomping courtesy of Steven.
Unfortunately we couldn't grasp the full extent of pain from your family loss in the video Steven, but with that in mind, we at Lifted Music salute you, and wish you all the best for the future!!

Brendan Angelides, or Eskmo to the Dubstep world, is a San Francisco based producer, live performer and long time favourite of the Lifted collective. Having performed and produced since '99, he's covered numerous styles throughout the years, and his music has now developed into a trademark sound that's instantly recognisable. With such a strong back catalogue, it was only a matter of time before we asked him to remix a track for Lifted. After consideration, it was agreed that Eskmo would rework the A-side from the The Prologue; – Spor’s ‘Knock You Down’.
