This week I’m going to start off with Rdubz, a producer who sent me half a dozen demo tracks due out for release soon. Here is a review of three of the six tracks he sent me, with the other three coming soon.
The first track I kicked off with was “Creep”. A nice ominous atmosphere on the intro which I always like, then the hats and finally a steady, rhythmic drum pattern with a delayed snare followed. But what grabbed me was the leadbass synth. Retro-style, almost 8bitty, it was refreshing to hear…because I must admit I thought I was going to listen to quite a heavy brostep track with saw-tooth wobble going by the name and the intro. The bassline work was fluid and catchy and an altogether interesting track.
Then probably the pick of the half-dozen, “Dirty Air”, the intro consisting of stabby synths which gave the track a gritty urban feel. The bass was reminiscent of Rusko- “Mr Chips” and again a nicely progressive, catchy bassline and drum pattern with intermittent breaks of the intro synth. The second drop had a nice arped lead which adds to the atmosphere.
“Stonehead” delved more into the brostep territory, with trademark Cockney vocal sample, and a danceable piano to keep the rhythm, supporting an angry distorted bassline. This is more up filth-lovers street.
The tracks are due for release on various labels soon so we’ll keep you posted.
