The first release of the new Danish dubstep label, Kraken Recordings, is definitely certain to make Denmark known for more than just bacon, street riots, and the Vikings of old. Kraken 001 features tunes from two of the most promising producers in Copenhagen: Obeah’s Copenhagen Massive and Wolf Man’s Eye of the Demon.
What started as tunes shared with other up-and-coming producers via the influential dubstepforum.com, has since been recognized as groundbreaking productions by the established international DJs. Statements quoted below, tell of a first release from Kraken Recordings that might turn into a tomorrow’s dubstep classic. Despite Kraken 001 being the debut release of both Obeah and Wolf Man, both producers have (under different monikers) released several records since the mid-90´s – as well as being part of the award-winning Danish crew, OHOI!
Obeah – Copenhagen Massive:
The absolute anthem of the Danish dubsteppers!
Obeah (a.k.a. DJ and producer 2000F) has created a catchy but heavy, half-steppin’ floor-filler, inspired by dub reggae and jungle. This unique salute to the crews of the Capital city features a vocal sample of Supa Mikes, the legendary ambassador of everything Jamaican in Denmark. Copenhagen Massive has circulated with the biggest DJs on dubplate, getting instant calls for “rewinds”, due to the immense jump-up bass line and the haunting, characteristic melodica melody.
Wolf Man – Eye of the Demon:
Featuring bass frequencies from the depths of a 1000 fathoms, Wolf Man (a.k.a. DJ and producer JSL) has created a dubstep beast of magnitude that will send the crowd rattling to the floor. Eye of the Demon is all about dark, evil atmospheres, bone-shattering drums, and eerie vocal samples smothered with dub effects. “There’s no stopping what can’t be stopped, no killing what can’t be killed!”
Kraken Recordings 001 is being released the 16th of April 2007, and will be terrorising the seven seas and dubstep raves around the world!

The intro on Copenhagen Massive is sick. I mean it. Sick. The drums, the fx, the bass, the vibe, it’s all perfect. Copenhagen is my favourite city in the world. I would live there tomorrow if it wasnt so frikin expensive.
