"The friendly ghost is back in town with this badboy long player. West London native Caspa opens the proceedings on new label Sub Soldiers in style. Providing dubstep fans with an epic and anthemic ride through some rough bass terrain! Opening track 'Big Headed Slags' has already seen heavy rotation on London pirates and is being championed by scene top-boys Skream, Hatcha and N-Type. A synth and rasta-chant intro gives way to a distorted pulsating bass that hits like a ton of bricks from the soundsystem. 'Tribal Basher" sees Caspa in a dance floor mood, in keeping with his expertise in strong melodies and well timed drops. Opening the next vinyl is 'Custard Chucker' a collaboration with labelmate Rusko (King of Acton). 'Velvet Rooms' -- Caspa switches up into some liquid 2-step. Pumping shuffled drums and sweet-as-you-like vocals underpin a warping bassline that never leaves the brain. Pure class."

"A1. 'Cockney Thug': Rusko opens the EP with undoubtedly one of the biggest tracks this year in the shape of 'Cockney Thug.' If you haven't heard this track you have probably been living under a rock, with huge support from the cream of the dubstep scene including Caspa, N-Type, Hatcha, Skream, Chef to name only a few, also massive support from BIG hitters outside the scene like The Scratch Perverts, Clipz, TC, Sinden, Tayo, Mary Anne Hobbs, Claude Von Stroke, Chase & Status & Artic Monkeys. From the opening this is an all-out dancefloor killer, with its distinctive 'cockney thug' sample and then into the garage driven swinging beat and stomping bass which will keep you hooked before the catchy horn line that has braced almost every dubstep dance floor this year. B1. 'Love Is Real': Rusko goes back to the old skool with this bubbling garage track, showing the true diversity of the EP. With its sweet vocals and luscious strings over the top of a 2-step beat and sub-low 808 garage-style bass, and Todd Edwards style vocal chops on the second drop, this one is sure to get any old skool garage heads up and on their feet. C1. 'Jahova': Further reinforcing the strength of this release is another anthem that again has gained massive support from all the key players in the scene, is the superb dub-driven killer that is 'Jahova.' With its extremely catchy melody, dubbed-out synths and driving bass, this track has caused devastation to many dancefloors across the globe, and is essential for any aspiring dubstep DJ. D1. 'Lions Paw': Rounding off the EP is the dubbed-out splendor that is 'Lions Paw.' This has gained massive support from Skream, who has been battering it on his Rinse FM show as well as his live sets. And with its dub delayed drums and reggae-influenced horns, it's sure to be a firm favorite with anyone into the dub-style sound. This EP really shows the growing strength of the fast rising Sub Soldiers label (offspring to the popular Dub Police imprint) and is an absolute essential to any dubstep DJ's record box."
