The Friday Five - January 13th, 2023

This post was definitely, definitely posted on Friday and I definitely didn't forget to hit publish until early Saturday morning. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Anyway, welcome to this week's Friday Five - the segment where I select five new songs released this week to share with you and give my thoughts on. Remember that they're not in any particular order. Enjoy!


5. Babz - Ghost

Ghost by Babz stars us off nice and gritty with a creepy and wobbly tune, released this week through the Manic Mind Collective. Massive vibes and even more massiver bass make this track a great listen.

4. EVILNET - SHADOW BEAST

SHADOW BEAST by EVILNET is a self-released banger with a Hunt: Showdown-esque intro featuring plucky strings that lead into a giant, slowly chugging metallic drop. Huge tune that should make it into your rotation ASAP. 

Support EVILNET and grab the free download now:






3. KUMERA - BANKAI!

BANKAI by KUMERA packs some serious anime angst alongside sounds that aren't messing around. An atmospheric intro with hints of bass and an energetic vocal sample leads into a cascading wall of bass that only let up to fit more vocal cuts before jumping back in.

Show KUMERA some love and stream the song:

2. GUPPI - DROWN EP

DROWN by GUPPI released through MALIGNANT differs from the rest of the list in the sense that it is actually a four track EP, rather than a single. And in case you're not familiar with GUPPI, they have a very distinct style that I'd describe as part Loompaskettee, part um.. and part something else entirely his own that I can't put into words. Regardless, this EP slaps hard, I fuck with it and I think it's worth a little taste test if you want new music.

Find the EP and GUPPI here:






1. GorillaT - Ascend (feat. elena)

Ascend by GorillaT featuring elena is a beautiful, melody masterpiece. It opens an emotional intro featuring haunting vocals and orchestral instrumentation that quickly melds into a short hip-hoppy section before ramping things up into a headbanging beast of a drop. A must listen in my opinion.

Stream Ascend and support the artists here:

LAYZ - EYE OF THE STORM EP Review

     Eye of the Storm is the debut EP by bass music artist LAYZ , released through Bassweight Records . While this is the first EP for the LAYZ, she's certainly not new to the scene. Lost Lands and other mixes alongside a small handful of singles pad her back catalogue with enough cred for her to command respect in the scene. With just 3 tracks and coming in a hair over 10 minutes, Eye of the Storm keeps things brief but hectic.    INCOMING alongside RZRKT starts with a menacing SFX that continues under an equally menacing synth refrain. Different percussive elements fade in with quick hitting top percs skittering around with huge reverb tom hits adding tension to an already heightened mood. This really starts the EP out on a good foot as the mystique and energy really pulls you in, making you want to hear what comes next. The sound fades away as the track goes quiet before frantically speeding up with a snare roll and pulsing SFX before coming to a head wit...

An Introduction

I've never been great at introductions, but you have to rip the band-aid off at some point if you want to start something new. I'll try to keep this brief but concise, which is what I hope this blog will continue to be throughout time. I'll be posting new dubstep music announcements, trench or riddim dubstep reviews, and even some product reviews for music production equipment further down the line.      I'm Drew, and I'm a massive fan of music. I like virtually all music, but I've been particularly drawn to electronic music - especially dubstep/tearout - since around 2010 when I first heard "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" by Skrillex. I enjoyed what I referred to as "techno" before that (mostly trance with some hardstyle if we're being genre sticklers), but I considered dubstep to be random noises. I even went as far as calling it "not real music" for a short period. Yikes.      But something legitimately changed inside me wh...
