As one of the most respected names in modern dubstep, FuntCase has solidified his reputation as a master of the genre with the release of his latest EP ‘Job For A DJ‘. This 5-track offering showcases the UK artist’s incredible talent for crafting earth-shaking basslines and relentless rhythms that will have dancefloors trembling.
FuntCase has established himself as a leading figure in dubstep over the past decade, known for his ability to balance raw, uncompromising sound design with a keen melodic sensibility. This latest EP sees him doubling down on the genre’s core elements, delivering a collection of tracks that are guaranteed to ignite any room.
The EP opens with the visceral banger “Go F*ck Yourself”, a collaboration with MVRDA. An ominous, growling low-end provides the foundation for a barrage of glitchy sound design and pummeling drum work. It’s the kind of track that will have headbangers whipping their necks in pure ecstasy.
On “Slow Jams“, FuntCase teams up with Merky ACE to deliver a more subdued, yet equally impactful cut. The track’s title is somewhat deceiving, as there’s nothing ‘slow’ about the relentless syncopation and gut-punching bass tones. Merky ACE’s vocals add a nice melodic counterpoint to the track’s raw power.
One of the standout moments comes with “Drown“, which features a mesmerizing vocal performance from chae. The track builds tension masterfully, with the vocals weaving in and out of the cavernous low-end and frenetic percussion. It’s a prime example of FuntCase’s ability to balance brutality and beauty.
The ominous “The Devil’s Reign“, a collaboration with Neonix, is a dark and foreboding cut that showcases FuntCase’s talent for crafting cinematic soundscapes within the dubstep framework. The track’s eerie pads and ominous vocal samples create a sense of unease that gives way to an explosion of distorted bass and jarring rhythms.
Closing out the EP is “Keep On Rockin‘”, a track that lives up to its name with its relentless energy and unbridled intensity. Waves of distortion and gut-punching sub-bass converge to create a track that will leave listeners breathless. Job For A Dubstep DJ’ EP solidifies FuntCase’s status as one of the most exciting and innovative producers in the genre. Each track is a masterclass in sound design and rhythmic complexity, delivering a listening experience that is both exhilarating and cathartic.
