i was one of those who dismissed dubstep early on when everyone was started to buzz on it. my good friend jan henrik was one of the early ones to get on it but he had a passion toward uk bass music. i think i didn't get it and i wasn't all up on the halftime tracks.
i liked more frantic drums instead of wobbly bass but i caught on eventually and i found the things that was dubbed break-step the most likable. despite a really stupid name it made sense and it still had the aesthetics of it's core music but with more emphasis on the drums.
vex'd track was things i liked the most since they had that eeiry atmosphere, chunky deep bass but really heavy drums. there were a few tracks that came to me like "canyon", "gunman" & the a-side on this track "lion" but this one remains my favourite.
right from the start that stabbing kick and popping snare demands attention and as soon as the dark pad builds up tension it slowly ushers in that brooding bass. this was a track i found a way working into so many sets where i felt i either wanted give a kick in the balls or just bang out drums.
in ishkurs there is a comedic punchline about the basslines of drum&bass darkstep and how the growling sounds eventually come off like it's talking to you. in this track vocodered voice samples are actually talking within the midrangy bass frequencies.
it's more apparent in the latter half of the track, near the end of the track, where it's done with effect in mind of a ghost talking to you. i can't decipher what it's saying but i'm saying that you need this track now.
