Review: For us, Chad Dubz has been one of the most consistent names across the dubstep sound for the best part of the last few years, so to see him make the leap upwards to the legendary Deep MEDi imprint is no surprise. He arrives with a dazzling album display, featuring 9 captivating original creations, exploring the full range of the Bristol-native's musicality. Opening up with the introspective sounds of 'Universal Vibration' alongside the legendary Warrior Queen / Bozanna Evans, we also see a collection of other heavyweight vocal presences step forward, including D-Los, Logan, Riko Dan, Killa P & Magugu. Even with this star studded display, Chad still manages to impress on his solo creations alongside this, with the blippy beauty of 'Forever', dubwise mastery of 'Love Is Everything' and drippy soundscapes of 'Om' all bringing something refreshing to the table of this very well thought out LP. Fantastic work from Chad Dubz, as always!
Review: Foundation celebrate three years and 20 releases with this supersized clutch of deep, dark and forward-thinking exclusives. Painting a picture of dubstep's most exciting frontiers, highlights hang, slide and oozes from every cavernous corner: Drew's Theory provides meditative intensity on "Harmony", Deafblind & Darkimh twist up the drums in the sludge-packing "Concrete Groove", Krease soundtracks your next nightmares with his late night graveyard romp "Hindsight" while Dillard digs deep into the proper roots with its shimmering classical dub designs. Weighing at 24 tracks, Foundation have pulled out all the stops here... A seriously detailed piece of bass music futurism.
Review: Foundation Audio founder Chad Dubz steps up with his debut album. And, as you'd expect, it's a document of daring dark design. From the moment the anvil-like kicks of opener "Transcending" punctuate with precision, you know you're in for a treat. Deeper into the narrative, cuts such as a "Shaka" and "Dark Ones" tell ominous stories of minor key jungle-minded mischief while cuts such as "Stay" bellow with such a moodiness and such bulbous bass detail that you have to stop and catch your breathe. Further into the blend again we hit cuts like "Witnessed" where dungeon-destined spaciousness plays the lead role, showing the Chad knows the genre and his craft with an intimacy most artists dream of. Debut albums don't come any clearer. Any further questions should be directed to Chad directly...
