Mob Killa distills pressure and experimentation on new 'Misericorde' EP for Chestplate Records Chestplate Records returns with Misericorde, a two-track EP from Mob Killa that captures both the ruthless efficiency and left-field curiosity at the core of the label's ethos. Across two sharply contrasted cuts, Mob Killa explores minimalism, movement, and musical hybridity-resulting in a release that feels as much at home on a sound system as it does under close headphone scrutiny. The title track, 'Misericorde,' is a dark, evolving dubstep stomper built for maximum physical impact. Stripped of excess, the track leans into tension and space, allowing its low-end weight to breathe and mutate over time. Sub pressure rolls with intent, percussion lands with military precision, and subtle shifts in texture keep the energy in constant motion. It's a track designed to test rooms, rattle chests, and reward DJs who trust restraint as much as force. On the flip, 'Throwing Deck' reveals a different side of Mob Killa's production palette. A melting pot of jazz and dubstep influences, the track folds skippy, swung drums into brushed snare textures, creating a loose, elastic groove that feels both experimental and deeply musical. Jazz phrasing weaves through the rhythm section, giving the track a playful, almost improvised feel without sacrificing weight. It's a strikingly distinct piece that pushes beyond genre convention while remaining grounded in sound system culture. Together, the two tracks form a concise but deliberate statement. Misericorde isn't about maximalism-it's about control, contrast, and confidence. With this EP, Mob Killa reinforces his position as a producer unafraid to balance raw functionality with adventurous ideas, while Chestplate Records continues to carve its lane as a home for forward-thinking, uncompromising electronic music.
