Review:
A relative newcomer, Dubzta has already scared the pants of folk with his fiercely fresh take on bassline driven music. Now, following his debut, White Dee, Dubzta squares up to fellow beat maverick Mr Dubz for the action-packed Round 1. "Maybe" has a furious electro-bassline with multiple vocals jabs and synth washes, while "Still Got Love" is speedy garage house with a wobbly uppercut. In Dubzta's hands, the former becomes musclebound two-step and the latter is a brutal 4x4 assault with a mercilessly bassy low blow for good measure. A total knock out!
Review:
UK beat maverick Mr Dubz touches down once again on the Project Allout imprint with four new slices of penetrating speed garage. "Losing It", as the name suggests, is a nutty blend of shuffling percussion and raucous, twisted basslines, while "Sekkle" is tough little grime monster for the head-nodders. "Bwoi Fi Dead" is another heavy half-time monster complete with all sorts of dread vocal shops, while "Ready Fi War" takes us back to the early-to-mid noughties when grime and hard-hitting wobble-step were being mashed up left, right and centre.
Review:
Undiluted chop-slapping 4/4 speed garage vibes from genre-melting UK filth peddler Mr Dubz, "Back For More" ignites with a salvo of old school detuned synth stabs before switching the unpredictability vibe with a bassline so sick it needs medical health insurance. Remix-wise Flava D focusses purely on the darkness with a fine-tuned bass warp, Spooky adds a sinewy grimey flavour, Deadbeat gets twisted with a repurposed dubstep bassline, Moony injects a jazzier sensation with chopped vocals and neat organ additions while Dr Cryptic closes the show on a heavy edge with a bassline that dynamically flickers from far away to right in your face. All angles covered, whichever remix fits your set the best, we guarantee you'll be coming back for more.
Review:
Mr Dubz is back y'all, coming right at you with some sleazy strip club booty shakin' bass for urban freaks, as clearly demonstrated on the bombastic "The Dragon". Next up "Shadow" is a far more serious affair; this kind of dubstep rolls not just deep but pretty dark as well. There's no more kush inspired nightmares again, rest assured; "Twister" crosses over from bass music into trance with its rapid arpeggios and uplifting brass section with an undeniable gangsta feel about it which we thought was tight!
Review:
Battle-bound gutter grime: "Ardcore" shows Mr Dubz at his heaviest and hard hitting. A punishing riddim track surges forth, coated in an array of screaming, savage bass elements. Complete with a well-executed, tightly-edited vocal, it's crying for some heavyweight MC action. Remix-wise all flags are flown: Filthy Vicars mix up a two-steppy brew, Hi5 Ghost looks back to the likes of Altern-8 and LFO for inspiration, Dubzta gets strung out with a series of stabs so sharp they'll shave the skin off your ears and Juzo serves up the ugliest, most uncompromising mix. Hardcore indeed!
Review:
Cardiff's Dubzta meets Sheffields Mr Dubz; these guys are brothers from different mothers if we've ever seen it! This is dark and dirty street level UK underground music."Ganjaman" is the ultimate party starter with its pitch shifted vocals, hands in the air chant and that killer bassline, but the Dubzta remix takes it down a notch in a more grimy fashion. "The Realm" ventures deeper into the darkside on this deep dupstep joint; not for the faint of heart (is that an Anne Clark sample?) and finally Dubzta's remake goes for the jugular on this dark and grimy exploration for the true heads.
