#30 Feat. Staff Picks in 140 / Deep Dubstep / Grime

Following their debut earlier this year, the enigmatic duo Soundboy Dead step up to bat for Dub-Stuy with Soundclash Story, a fierce tribute to the art of clashing featuring UK veteran vocalist Don Cotti. The title track captures the heat of the dance, Cotti at the mic delivering a vivid tale of dubplate warfare over a menacing steppers riddim built for the battlefield. On the flip, Soundclash Dub pushes the pressure even deeper, with a stripped down, FX-laden version that will test the heaviest rigs. Following their explosive debut EP for Dubquake, Soundboy Dead continue their mission of crafting uncompromising dub music rooted in sound system culture. Pure energy. No gimmicks.
