Style : hard dubstep

After years of work as samplers and electronic textures operator in the famous French live dub band Kaly Live Dub, Stephane Bernard aka Uzul decided to launch his own hiphop indus live project.

His influences vary from roots and old school dub to lo-fi, noise and the massive Indus electronic music from the likes of Techno Animal or Scorn, whom he shared a tour with, made his music a subtle mix of all kind of massive electronic musics. Being constantly watching for vibes traveling from other countries.

Uzul discovered Dubstep and felt in love for its huge sound and sub-frequencies focus. His true live performances shooting Dubstep into live unexplored areas gave him much respect from the heavyweights in the scene such as Skream who did a remix for his “Under Pressure E.P.” on Dub technic in 2009. A few months after Uzul is back on record with an ultra heavy devastating track - “Ruffneg” – and a not less prestigious remixer: The award-winning Dubstep DJ / producer and label owner N-Type, for the First time on a french label! 2 perfect weapons to boost a Dj set when the pressure seems to fall.

RELEASES :
- «UNDER PRESSURE 1» Dub technic/Expressillion SEPT 2009
- «UNDER PRESSURE 2» Dub technic/Expressillon SEPT 2009
- «RUFFNEG» Dub technic/Expressillon SEPT 2010

Emerging/UK about Uzul (Sep 01/09) :
"Not usually accustomed to hearing the words "France" and "dubstep" together in a coherent toss of a thought they usually leave that up to the dark and dank UK kids/descendants of the Skream/Caspa/Hatcha phase most of the countrymen of this new act who goes by Uzul would probably cry foul at the mere thought of a sub-bass track that shapes itself more akin to the soundsystems and selectors of the West Indian areas of London instead of Lyon. And it's not more Trouble than it is Bass (see that, we got jokes) with "Rumble Inna Station" and "Under Pressure", two 12" singles coming out via Dub Technic, that bring the sense of dark, tunneling low-end and sinister vibes rather than the "touch" of French electro as it sits atop its perch today. And, with news that "Rumble" comes b/w a B-side remix from Skream himself, walls will certainly be crumbling once it's all heard."
