Following on from the sell-out first release featuring Benga & Walsh and the hefty drumfunk of Andy Skopes & Madcap, Immerse Records focus once again on the dubstep with the Substratum EP. This is a weighty 2-part release featuring a clutch of new producers repping from Bristol to Barcelona, all supplying tunes designed to work as well off the dance floor as on it.
Part 1: Spanish dubstep impresario's 23Hz & Numaestro finally see 'Galleon Dub' touch wax after what seems like an eternity on dubplate! Ethnic tinges and paranoid pads drift over the resonating subs and crisp percussion. Grim soldier Atki2 gets choppy with 'Douceur,' building tension throughout with sliced & reversed drums; mournful strings and nasty squelch bass
