Goran Simonoski is one of the more established producers on Svetlana. He was the key creative engine behind Belgradeyard Soundsystem, one of the first Serbian acts to get some international recognition, releasing for the now defunct German label Ear Sugar with a track featured in Bonobo’s Solid Steel mix CD for Ninja Tune. He also releases minimal as half of Cheap and Deep, releasing on Berlin’s Hardwax and scoring a sizeable underground hit with their first single, Words, Breaths and Pauses.

Under his Piece of Shh… identity Goran plumbs a deeper well, combining a more overt dub influence with glitched noises and the tension and delayed release reminiscent Helixir or Shackleton; almost the opposite of breakdown-heavy ravestep, the tracks constantly develop but hold off on giving you the expected breakdown and drop, creating a totally different dancefloor experience.

London-based Spanish dubstep producer Hektagon (Audio Freaks, Z-audio) has delivered a banger of a remix for the track Diablo Riddim so expect a video and 12” for that very soon. We’ve also got “Zomby’s Acid Mix”, a slice of extreme gloopiness from the legendary bleep producer, but we’re keeping that one under wraps for a little bit ;-)
