SCRUB 023EP
|
Loefah's Swamp81 imprint with countless dubplates in circulation but few actual releases, Traces are one of dubsteps quickest rising duos. Scrub a Dub has been showcasing some of best new talent of late from ALXZNDR, Josi Devil, and Rapture 4D and Traces are no exception dropping three prime cuts on the next 12". Each track sounds equally fresh while reminiscent of the dubstep glory days in the mid-2000s. Mungo's have been championing these tracks for some while and back when a dance was a thing, they were damaging dancefloors.

Josi Devil, aka JD, the enigmatic producer behind the "Rules Of The Dance" remix featured on Kahn & Neek's Fabric mix (FABRIC 180CD, 2016), returns with a double 12" and two absolute melters. "DigiDub" has been on dubplate for a few years doing the rounds with the likes of L U C Y, Commodo, and Sir Hiss while "Misnakes" is a different beast and possibly the coldest release on Scrub-a-Dub to date.

SCRUB 018EP

US production duo Alter Echo and E3 have linked up with Bristol's Ishan Sound to create an awe inspiring warrior stance anthem. Ah Mi Guide features a hypnotic sample from Rider Shafique, over an unrelenting beat crafted by E3 and Ishan then mixed in dub by Alter Echo. The flipside remix comes via ascendant dubstep producer Egoless, who transforms the stark original into a slow burning fire, garnished with a flourishing flute refrain. Either side is guaranteed to shake up and mesmerize a dance.

SCRUB 017EP
|
"Ghori" from D-Operation Drop is a driving soundsystem roller with a low-swung beat crushed through '80s sci-fi algorithms and burnt onto analog tape. On the flip is "Natty Coil", one of the crew's most requested tracks, a masterful mix of organic bass and robotic shuffled hi hats from these mix scientists. D-Operation Drop are a crew from Italy who gravitated around their love of bass, releasing music on labels such as Artikal, Lion Charge, Zam Zam, and Moonshine.

Limited available stock. Soulquencies is a perfect harmony of deconstructed soundsystem music, beautifully rebuilt with ambient textures, hints of grime, steppers while always melodious, musical, and underpinned with bass weight. It perfectly transcends from clean and heavenly harmonies to bass weight and grit, icy to warm in a masterful way. Soulquencies is the latest project from Chikuma Tsuboi. A classically-trained musician hailing from Tokyo, Chikuma moved to the party city of Glasgow in the early 2000s. There he became instrumental in the music scene hosting some of the cities earliest dubstep nights bringing artists like Silkie and Goth Trad. He helped take small basement sessions to the larger clubs supporting the likes of Mala at the Art School. He played some of the earliest Outlook festival parties and was a tour engineer for Mungo's Hi Fi before returning to Tokyo to complete his Soulquencies project which has literally been years in the making.

"Joseph Cotton at his ruffest alongside Paris crew Liquid Wicked (Von D & DUB-4) on the buttons. This track causes serious damage on the dancefloor. The flip features a dutty stripped down riddim by Twisted with an infectious mutating groove."
