KONGKAST number 117 proudly features Bristolian producer FORSAKEN, whose original productions span flavours from dubstep, garage and grime to house music.

Forsaken is Pete Thomas, label co-owner of Soul Motive and one of Bristols super creative breed of music makers. Obsessed with combining all his influences in his creations, he released on two of the most highly acclaimed Dubstep labels, Punch Drunk and Soul Motive, soon turning heads in the scene to critical acclaim. Though not hugely appealing to just any dance floor situation, Forsaken music is much more appreciated as a creatively sculpted intricate listening experience.

Isola Dusk is Forsaken’s latest musical project – a collaboration of 3 established artists (Forsaken himself, Ben Blackmore on guitars & a vocalist Alice Marie-Archer) weaving influences from broken beat, blues, folk, dubstep and house into a unique new sound.

With this week’s exclusive mix, take a peek at what currently inspires the Forsaken mind.

Many thanks, Pete, for sharing your selection on KONGKAST – Asia’s drum n bass and dubstep podcast.

About Forsaken:

Co-founder of Soul Motive and one of the most creative producers around, Forsaken has created some of the most electrifying music in recent years with a string of releases that defy all genres and create some new ones in the process.

Debut release Boat Noodles on Punch Drunk was so different to the glut of Dubstep records that it instantly found favour with DJs like Mary Anne Hobbes and Gilles Peterson.

Forsaken invests his music with a sense of cinematic glamour – beats and strings invoke widescreen visualisations of places past that few producers can match.

Forsaken recently started a band called Isola Dusk, you can listen to some of their songs here: http://soundcloud.com/soul-motive/sets/isola-dusk-demo
