We're very proud to present the first two nuggets from Stylus Rex's debut album Amplify. These two original tracks set the tone of what's to come when the album drops in December.
Rhythm Roller - This is a bass pulsing future warehouse synth warping innovation. Warm blobs of bass keep the track rolling on the freshest of grooves while crisp and wobbly synthlines snake around it building the mayhem and releasing the pressure. Influenced by dubstep, breaks and the sublime sonics of Rhythm & Stealth era Leftfield, this is the sound of a producer unencumbered by genre boundaries and looking to break new ground.

Blatant Elephant - A completely fresh rework of the Stylus Rex classic 'Blatant' originally released on Punk Funk in 2005, the new cut has evolved into an elephant sized slab of dance-floor-focused production. The track evolves continually throughout with twisting sonics and tech-funk thrills coming at you as if you're cutting between several perfectly matched records and features a breakdown & build that electrifies. This is bass-lead feel-good breakbeat of the highest order.

You can pick the release up at Beatport, Juno, iTunes and all good digital retailers.

Ground Level still going from strength to strength! Blatant elephant is HUGE! Will support. - Breakonomics, RTE Ireland
While the form Stylus Rex sticks to is streamlined, very 'now' breaks that kick perfectly on the dance floor, his technical prowess pushes his sound to the next level. He is as much a composer as a producer. - Tiny Mixtapes Blog
Blatant elephant absolutely rocks! - Greg Churchill, Aural Trash Radio New Zealand
