Release Sheet
300dpi artwork
When we released Aardvarck's Nosestep as part of his Well Well Well Ep in the summer of 2007 it cause quite a stir in the then formative dubstep scene, almost anybody played that track. Now we re-release it with a new version by Cosmin TRG, who transformed it into a strong acidic stepper, 2010 style. On the b-side we find an unreleased Nubian Mindz remix from Aardvarck's Spoken release from 2001. We didnt release it at the time, but with the whole new future house movement coming strong, the timing couldnt be more perfect (Kode 9 also thought so on his recent DJ Kicks Mix).
