The Hybridz
The duo entitled “The Hybridz” was formed in early Jan 2011 and encompasses two simplistic minds from the furthermost corners of the earth – Australia & Brazil. Having only recently meet through, Jefferson’s (Integration Now) release on Jamie’s (Forge) label – Silk Recordings, the pair had very similar tastes in music and the direction they each wanted to take there own sound in. Before the name was even created they had already made their first batch of tunes. “Roots Of Resistance” (forth on Silk Rec) was finished in late December 2010 and would serve as the starting point for the duos first collab and set the standard for the influx of high quality tracks that were soon to follow.
Not sticking to one tempo and experimenting with all types of time signatures and beat patterns “The Hybridz” stands for deep experimentation and a simple but melancholic and bass driven sound with no boundaries. Building on this concept and keeping to their own musical tastes and roots, the duo are set to take this project in any direction they wish by both drawing on their musical and cultural influences, which at this point are as diverse as the music they make.
The duo’s first release on Solace was also the labels debut digital release in the form of a 4 track digital E.P.

eleven8
Edd Legg, aka eleven8 is a young producer hailing from East Grinstead. A keen musician from an early age, Edd picked up several instruments – more notably the drums. After several years of playing in Punk and Post Rock bands, he decided to transfer his skills as a drummer to electronic music – which has influenced his productions heavily. His sound is now often known for his distinctive percussion and acoustic samples. With a precise blend of industrial, warped sound effects and melodic snapshots of real, organic samples, his productions are beginning to make waves.
Showing his versatility, ‘eleven8’ shows off his production skills in this release which incorporates elements of guitars, synths, dirty bass and clean crisp drums to show off what a seismic style this young producer has.
Alone’ is the title track and has ‘eleven8’s’ signature sound strewn all over it. Tight razor sharp drums over a skippy time signature and brooding subs make this one a heavy affair. A very catchy vocal riff and driving atmosphere round off this intricate track.
The aptly titled track “Remember Me’ is a tribute to a friend of ‘eleven8’s’ that sadly passed away. On first listen you can hear the meaningful melodies of the guitars and the emotion ‘eleven8’ really has passed into this track. A very soft track with deep meaning but don’t be fooled; the baseline is still perfect for rattling any club sound system.
LATEST RELEASE
Integration Now
Intergration Now emerged in Recife around 2009 by producer Jeferson Paulo, with the goal of producing electronic music with a different footprint. Without neglecting the influences of where he was brought up, Jeferson’s blend of styles range from DNB, Heavy, Minimal, House, Downtempo, experimental to MPB, and other atmospheres.
Having recent releases on sister label ‘Silk Recordings’, Integration Now expands his sound with his debut solo offering on ‘Solace’. A jam packed E.P full of amazing atmospheres, subtle soundscapes and song arrangements to die for. This E.P really shows how versatile this producer is and hearing influences from dubstep, DNB and right thru to 2-step, it shows he’s capable of nailing any tempo he decides to make in the studio.
On top of all this Jefferson has been working on his new project “The Hybridz” which connects Brazil / New Zealand through a partnership with producer and Forge. ‘The Hybridz’ project has loads of releases lined up including 12″ + digital formats for labels such as Silk, Soalce and GBDA. Integration Now is just beginning his career and promises great things for the future.
