Dubsided Records / Dave Taylor

Kenton Slash Demon mentioned that for their first EP on Tartelet Records in 2009, they were heavily influenced by the percussive sounds of UK label Dubsided. Dubsided was run by producer Dave Taylor who released music under the aliases of Switch and Solid Groove.

Dubsided was influential at the time for bringing the fun back into house music, with Switch and friends being responsible for coining the tongue-in-cheek sub-genre of  ‘fidget house’. The label released music from Jesse Rose, Sinden, Herve, Trevor Loveys and early Duke Dumont.

Below is an interview from 2008, as Switch had just completed producing MIA’s album, and was currently working with an at the time unknown Santogold (later Santigold).
It seems like Dubsided has gone a bit quiet in recent years, although this nice track from Nadastrom appeared on the Soundcloud last year.
