Chad Dubz 'Kingdom Dub' EP (Foundation Audio)
Militant bass pressure from Bristol’s Chad Dubz, who returns to Foundation Audio with this new three-track EP. The raw, bludgeoning power of the crunching title track is truly deepest, darkest stuff, while on the flip, the trippy, experimental and almost cartoony flow of ‘Space Cadet’ makes for an equally great listen. Final track ‘Drainpipe’, meanwhile, is a skeletal, percussive heater spiked with killer doses of grizzly sub; it’s been making waves in the club for the last 12 months, and signs off the EP in a playful mood Grab a 12” while you can.
