“One the best and biggest surprises for me this year was The New Law’s releases…beautiful, emotional, cinematic… Its near perfect”
- John Richards (The Morning Show, KEXP 90.3FM)

“The New Law sounds like moody, atmospheric, largely instrumental trip-hop genius.”
- Ethan Georgi (properlychilled.com)

“This duo is versatile as can be. Ambient is a word that’s thrown around a lot. The New Law has proven that they know the meaning.”
- Dan Vidal (Urb Magazine)

“Deftly arranged, orchestrally inclined hip hop that evokes Ninja Tune’s glory years and Portishead’s doomed-romance aura.”
- Dave Segal (The Stranger)

Dead Noise
(aka Suttikeeree, Fourthcity)
http://suttikeeree.bandcamp.com/

One of the founding members of the Mind Movers crew, Sean has produced tracks for a number of notable names in Seattle, including Gabriel Teodoros, Asun, Phreewill, Leland Jones, Rajni Eddins, and Jerm. He provided several beats for Khingz’ critically-acclaimed “From Slaveships to Spaceships” (Fresh Chopped Beats/MADK) and also supplied some sounds for the Ninjatune/Big Dada release “True Hollywood Squares,” the debut LP from Kail of LA’s Customer Service crew. In 2006, Sean placed second in the Project Blowed Beat Battle at Leimert Park, Los Angeles, thrilling judges Fat Jack, DJ Drez and June One.

Drawing influence from artists like Jean-Michel Jarre, Pink Floyd and Alan Parsons Project, Dead Noise composes rich, haunting sonic landscapes that demand repeated spins. This isn’t the work of your typical cut-and-paste beatmaker. Dead Noise is a “Producer” with a capital P, crafting densely-layered instrumentals that showcase hard-hitting drums, obscure samples and eerie, evocative melodies.

Wd4d
(Fourthcity, Stop Biting, The Good Look)

WD4D aka Waylon Dungan is one of Seattle’s most talented and ambitious beat scientists whose bold style has injected new sonic fusions into the city’s hip hop and electronic music communities. Versatile and always fresh, WD4D’s sound ranges from left-field experimental beats and funky upbeat dance music to jazzed-up hip hop and soulful underground rap.

Producing and DJing for almost sixteen years, WD4D was recently dubbed “The Feel-Good DJ of the Decade” by Seattle’s The Stranger newspaper. This innovative producer’s dedication to his craft has resulted in an impressive discography; his debut album Some Assembly Required (2005) was followed by a slew of both signed and unsigned releases, including his latest EP Post-Hyphy-Romanticrunk (2010) that features a crew of female vocalists from the area.
