Bingle Beats Plastic People might be closed off, but the spirit of FWD continues to live on; this latest cut from Mosca feels like a portal back to the early stages of dubstep. Early doors sound with modern production sensibilities Favorite track: Look After The Dead.

Svebbe A really mesmerizing cut inspired by the early 140-sound. This swings like a pendulum.

about

RENT035 - early dubstep bassweight >>>

OK so you'd be forgiven for thinking that this doesn't sound exactly like dubstep... but there was a super fertile period before the halfstep orthodoxy took over that had stronger roots in dark garage and early grime - a real sense of skippiness, angular beats on the offbeats, more of a driving technoid momentum, definite 140bpm material as opposed to 70bpm.

This is a one-off nod to that era - one of my favourite times in music, partly cos I was a teenager and partly cos it pulled together so many things I love about music (still) - it was minimal and stripped back but carried a lot of energy, it was dark but not in the cartoonish way that some dnb and other genres went, and it had a spiritual element, but nothing cheesy - it just felt like this music *meant* something. Strong community, respect, a physical culture (dubplates, soundsystem building, record shops etc), admittedly too many blokes. And we spelt everything with Ks and Zs, perhaps the most important part.

If tunes like Fire Elements, Disfunktional Minds, Awake, Life Dub, Depth Charge, Neverland, Walkin Bass, Truly Dread, Off, Congo, Beat Them, Da Wrath, Amazon, Babylon Dub etc mean anything to u then this is almost certainly up your alley. And like my two other throwbacks (God Of Thunder and Shut Everything Down), you'll know that there was precious little of this stuff released really, so I'm happy to add to that small pool of tunes.

So onto the tune itself - I tried to keep everything as 03/04/05-ish as possible while keeping the mixdown clean and soundsystem friendly (there were a lot of self-taught kids starting out in production back then and not everything sounded great tbh - this was before the youtube tutorial days mind). I dug through old sample packs of mine on external hard drives, avoided any influence that came after 2005 etc. A very Digital Mystikz type snare and kick, Loefah / jungle type shakers, early modulated wubs, delayed sonar bleeps, a warping, filtered, almost-Plasticman type bass synth, a sparse horror pad, a Tappa Zukie sample through sketchy ringmod. And of course lots of dubbed out FX and stock rainforest ambience. The plan is that this won't stick out like a sore thumb in an early dubstep set, but also that it stands up against modern 140 stuff.

Hope u enjoy and thank u for all the support so far with the Rent gear >>>
