Soothsayer is a hard, maximal drum n' bass label based in Atlanta, Georgia. The label was initiated in the fall of 2003 with the mission of releasing uninhibited breakcore, mashup and drum n' bass. After ten releases and the addition of a new sublabel, Dubplatelet, the Soothsayer doctrine of "hard beats and angry bass" has been firmly established. The objective is quite simple - to release the most uncompromising beats and bass regardless of trends, vogue, scene politics or consumer demands. BEATS THAT HURT!
Dubplatelet, the new Soothsayer sublabel, has been conceived as a conduit for releasing the most visceral ragga jungle, breakcore and dubstep to be had. Harkening back to the initial Soothsayer Doctrine of hardlined, genre-bending riddims and deafening bass- Dubplatelet begins with both a sense of precedence and that of a new direction. This label will address the many raggacore and jungle fans who've dearly missed the "uninhibited" sounds of the first two Soothsayer releases; whilst allowing us to sidestep genre exclusivity and dabble in different musical frameworks- including dubstep and downtempo.
