- The Australian dubstep producer will release his debut LP in October.
Sydney-based producer Westernsynthetics will release his debut LP, May Day Radio, via Sub Continental Dub next month.
O'Neill has been one of the most prominent artists flying the dubstep flag in Australia for some time now. Over the years, he's become a regular DJ fixture on the Sydney broken beat circuit, and is responsible for founding the city's foremost dub label, Sub Continental Dub. For his debut full-length, though, he's ventured into techno territory. The sounds on the album range from the more traditional dubstep sounds of the bass-heavy "Workers Dub" to the mechanised techno of "Apartheid Downunder". As you may gather from the LP's title and tracklist, the album is thick with socio-political references, and subsequently O'Neill has called upon a few vocalists to help him get his messages across, including U.S.-based MC Werd2Jah.
