Artwork by Sougwen Chung
With Dubstep branching out to see how far the genre can be pushed a ton of new ideas start to surface and a fusion of appealing sounds start melting together. One group i’m really excited about is Sepalcure which is a collaboration of Brooklyn’s Praveen and Machinedrum. the duo is doing a fine job of taking hints of soulful house and dubstep to create what they call Lovestep. One thing that Sepalcure has that other dubsteppers don’t usually have and ISO50 fans might also really enjoy is fine art direction by the multi talented designer Sougwen Chung. As you can see above and below her posters and videos of her work are a perfect fit for this heartfelt music.
Sepalcure’s debut performance alongside Untold, TRG, Pole, 2562 & more is February 13th at Unsound Festival NYC.
Below is a “Lovestep” mix done by Percussion Lab Founder/Sepalcure’s very own Praveen.

‘Taking You Back’ might be one of the sickest songs I’ve ever heard. I love the added voice about 1/2 way through. Blends perfectly.
Awesome!!! 🙂
It’s great to see the soulful and deeper side of dubstep getting some attention now, especially in the US. Should do wonders for my little trip/tour planned!
this just makes me imagine what it would be like if tycho and nosaj thing collaborated.
Sick, really good stuff. I’m excited.
it’s funny I don’t think it’s very interesting. Just like UK 2step from year 2000, but without passion.
Music is great. Where can I find it?
Ooooohh, Warning is crissspy.
Thanks for the love guys! I just posted Vol. 2 of the lovestep mix! You can grab it here:

This post clinched me bookmarking this blog. I heart the dubstep and lovestep seems fitting near to Valentines day… ha x
If Dubstep and Tycho had a baby : )
Weird – I had no idea that Lovestep was a term that other people called this strain of dubstep! i did a mix a few months ago on a similar tip – you can check it out here:
