Digital Mystikz - Haunted / Anti War Dub
Jan 05, 2009
Haunted!
Big Tune, This was one of the first ever dubstep songs i heard on a mock video of dubstep that someone uploaded to youtube, ever since i have been addicted to this song and its dark twisted mood it brings every time i listen to it. i always find my head nodding backwards and forwards to the sound of the dark bass line which hits on every beat of the bar and doubles up at the end which leaves you quite dizzy if you are trying to skank to this one hah, on the flipside to this is anti war dub whihch is not really my cup of tea but it has got a very distinctive beat and one of the weirdest; but most natural sounding drum pattern and shuffle i have heard in dubstep, and the realistic snare sample helps to enhance this also. the vocal sample aswell is good and helps to give it that "roots" feel that it sounds like its trying to achieve. whenever i look at the price of this vinyl i almost cry as its so so much as there really wasnt that many pressed as mala likes to keep things rare i read once, i have seen a few go for sale on here and they ranged between £40 - £90... gutted i will never own this, whoever has got this go and play it for me haha Lewis | ||||
It annoys me when i have to keep listening to 30 second clips of artists like this on various vinyl websites because most of his songs are so hard to come by you would have to personally know them or have some kind of connection to hear all his songs...
anyway,
I personally like Zomby's twisted 8-bit sounding ghetto tunes with their big snares, rigid claps, bloops, bleeps and all sorts of other lofi noises he can produce.
Some of his tunes are heavily influenced by what i can only describe as noise... sounding like they are just sounds that an 80's spaceship would make orbiting earth with really weird random arpeggio-ed Gameboy sweeps and bit crunched claps that have no reverb on them at all leaving the tracks very sparse and empty but at the same time makes you want to hear them again and again, over and over.
Zomby's biggest songs for me are his Hyperdub releases, "Mu5h", "1up" and "gloop" are, for me, his biggest songs to date bringing some big style gangster beats with the most minimal sounds i have ever heard, which leaves me listening again and again to try and figure out how he makes the song sound so full and Big.
Keep up the big releases Zomby!
Lewis.
