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.[1] Nevertheless, the group began winning critical acclaim with its single releases in 2005 and 2006.[2] Their full-length for XL, The World is Gone, arrived in July of 2006.[3][4][5][6][7] They have released a large number of vinyl EPs and 7 records, as well as digital exclusives for Rough Trade, iTunes, and Boomkat.[8]

Joseph Conrad (born Jzef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski; 3 December 1857 3 August 1924) was a Polish novelist. Many critics regard him as one of the greatest novelists in the English languagea fact that is remarkable as he did not learn to speak English fluently until he was in his twenties (and always with a Polish accent).
