Review: Despite being away from the main stage for a short while, there is no denying that Caspa is one of dubstep music's truly legendary figures. He is back action on his native imprint of Ghost Town with five system-sizzling originals, kicking off with the bulbous LFO squelches and potent vocal displays of Crazy D on 'Light It Up', really kick-starting the project with a punch. Next, lethal sub-textures dissolve across the low end with 'Drifter' rolling into view, followed by the super gnarly synthesizer drones of 'Bump This' which again add an extra level of intensity to proceedings. Finally, two additional heaters, with the more grimy drum structures and lethal bass warbles of 'Outstanding' arriving first, before the constantly shifting synth textures of 'Family' gives us a stomper send off to round out the project with a slap!
Review: It's always good fun to see the return of a dubstep legend, a scene we can enjoy today as Caspa returns to Ghost Town for a sumptuous four track display. We begin with 'Locomotive' a grizzly display of waving LFO slides and subtle percussive influxes, followed by the system-smashing snare drives and bulbous bass crunches of 'Full Flow'. From here the super wonky rhythms and swampy bass textures of 'Original Bad Bwoy' send us down an entirely different avenue, throwing us left, right and centre with some unique sonic expressions. Finally, 'That Low Low' unleashes a creepy, warbling masterclass in sublow-inspired dubstep, rounding off with the EP with a cracking finale
Review: If you grew up during the original rise of dubstep's fame, there is no way you can not know who the legendary Caspa is. We were therefore to see him land another new school scorcher on Ghost Town with this lively new four track project. We begin with 'Babylon Bill', a grizzly stepper, alternating between gnawing synthesizers and gritty LFOs, before the title track 'System Failure' fuses metallic percussive stabs with hard hitting basslines with great results. From here we then more into the more experimental rhythms and high pitched synthesizer designs of 'Silence Them', to take the EP down a different avenue entirely before finishing up on 'Cut That', a swampy original that sends the listeners eardrums from left to right with its naturally swaying arrangement. It's an impressive selection from one of the scenes original founding fathers, what's not to love?
Review: It's always good to see the legends of a genre return and that is most certainly the case here as we see Caspa launch another storming dubstep selection, this time supplying us with a potent six tracker via Ghost Town. We begin with the wonky LFO structures and haunting choir stabs of 'From The Gods', followed by the swivelling synth melodies and choppy drum rhythms of 'What The Brass'. Next, we welcome a gnarly selection of bass sounds which warble away with an evil tone on 'Sedated', before the more stripped back subs of 'Lost In LA' and catchy vocal sample work of 'Blame You' roll into play. Finally, the wonky synth-based pitch bends of 'Don't Know When To Stop' gives us one last jolt to finish off this fabulous return for Caspa!
