Extensive Definition
Various, or Various Production, is an English
dubstep/electronic
music duo formed in 2003. The group blends samples,
acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and singing from a
revolving cast of vocalists. Its members, Adam and Ian,
purposefully give very little information about the group or
themselves, and tend to do little in the way of self-promotion.
Nevertheless, the group began winning critical acclaim with its
single
releases in 2005 and 2006. Their full-length for XL, The
World is Gone, arrived in July of 2006. They have released a large
number of vinyl EP's and 7" records, as well as digital exclusives
for Rough
Trade, iTunes, and Boomkat.
The duo signed a publishing deal with the newly
formed Fire Songs in November 2007. A division of eclectic
London-based record label Fire
Records
