Surface Tension Recordings

About Me

Surface Tension Recordings is dedicated to releasing good music that sits somewhere in the outer fringes of dubstep, techno and garage. We love music with melodies, creative beats and bass that stirs the soul and moves the feet at the same time.
Our goal: to bring you electronic music that retains a firm hold on its roots, but finds new ground and moves past the formulaic templates of each genre.
Bass music: redefined.
Surface Tension is run by US DJ/Producer DJ Shiva (www.myspace.com/djshiva) and fellow DJ/Producer Fibrous Oxide.
Releases:
Indigo "Torn Apart/Ignite" (Nov 08)
Phaeleh "Fire (feat. Ngaio)/Isolate" (Feb 09)
Overcast Radio "Midnight Sun/Vendetta" (May 09)
Phaeleh "Lounge/Geiomix/Atrium(Phaeleh mix)" (Jun 09)
Various - "14Tracks: the Bristol new school" (Apr 09)
