Boston’s bass music monster, AxH takes a “Boulevard Stroll” down the ubiquitous night lit city streets with Dubs Alive Records. Aggressively deep, forward thinking and original, it’s easy to see why the likes of premier Dubstep label Tempa has shown an interest in this unique artist. Grimey mid range basses effortlessly swell and growl amid layers of white noise while perfectly placed skanks delineate the musicality of the composition, all culminating with a beautifully delayed techno synth lead which minimally guides us through the darkness. Tasteful, driving percussion strolls atop the sweeping synth pulses giving the tune a proper swing. Pausing for a moment to take in the night air, AxH’s anthemic synth wave develops the breakdown into a recapitulation of sound system shattering intensity. AxH masterfully blends this club tweaked, half time crusher with a tasteful essence of true dub music.
In a truly special AA side gem of a remix, the London Dubstep pioneer N-Type has reinterpreted the single with his signature dance-floor mentality, tweaked for peak hour performance while remaining true to the vibe of the AxH original. The genre defining master rolls us over with basses that snarl with round, vocal like pulses, creating the classic UK sound updated for the future. Always representing as one of the best DJ’s on the scene since day one, N-Type’s fruitful career has blessed a tenure at Rinse FM since 2003 along with managing three premier Dubstep music labels. This vast experience breeds a remix that will flex the full fidelity of the world’s best sound systems, ringing out a true statement from the roots of Dubstep showing us a rich combination of heavy, deep and classy.
