Rubber Banned / Sabotage

DJ Primecuts of the world-renowned Scratch Perverts steps up for Stretched Records' second release, in the wake of his collaboration with Dynamite MC on ‘Warning’ and his vast remix of Foreign Beggars ‘Gash’.

Both tunes were championed by dubstep’s established heavy hitters such as Skream, Benga and N-Type, with ‘Gash’ featured in Herve’s hugely successful ‘Ghetto Bass’ compilation. ‘Rubber Banned’ is a guaranteed dance destroyer already causing mayhem in Scratch Perverts sets across the globe.

Disjointed, twisted bass patterns sit astride booming subs, wrapped up with huge, evolving synth lines ensuring that this astonishing track stakes its place as a certified club banger. On the flip, ‘Sabotage’ finds Primecuts drawing influences from jungle, hip hop, and old school rave, combining and entwining the best of each to create a devastating dubstep floor filler.

As the lead melody is fed and manipulated through pounding drums, crunching bass and gritty synth work, each element combines in the kind of rib shaking effect that demands a rewind. Bearing down like the adrenalysed offspring of the ominous18-wheeler in Spielberg’s “Duel”, this is a record of inevitable massive impact.
