label update: Dub Police & Storming Productions

Storming Productions was the first label started by Caspa back in 2004, followed by Dub Police’s launch in 2006, since then the labels have gone from strength to strength and right now can be considered (along with Sub Soldiers, also ran and owned by Caspa) two of the biggest and most popular dubstep labels in the world.

Storming Productions has been on a bit of a break lately, but they will be back with a supreme bang in the next few months with a 2 track release from Emalkay (following on from the hit song ‘When I Look At You’ – Dub Police).

Fresh off the back of the massive single ‘When I Look At You’ & ‘AGS’ on sister label Dub Police. Emalkay steps up to Storming Productions with two wicked tracks. They have been tearing up dancefloors worldwide over the last couple of months. Both remaining permanent fixtures in the sets of Caspa, Benga, Skream, The Others, N-Type, Hatcha and just about anybody who is anybody in dubstep right now.

Solid State is a brutal anthem that has been melting a few faces as of late. The track has a dark and mystical intro with drums tougher than Mike Tyson’s knuckles. This is all before dropping into an unforgiving crunching bass that will bring any dancefloor to submission.

On the flip is the heavyweight ‘Battlesuit’ this is a dark roller with a real swing. An atmospheric soundscape with rolling drums that don’t prepare you for the warping sub bass. This bassline will smack you in the face at the drop, as the track seemingly morphs and progresses into a dark techy monster. Another essential release from Emalkay and a welcome return of one of dubstep’s foundation label.

Coming soon on Dub Police:

Dub Police comes with the goods again. This time its the turn of one of dubstep’s founding fathers D1, here to show them what its all about. ‘Jus Business’ has been finding its way into the sets of all the big hitters lately. With its dark rave stabs, tripping jungle beats and pounding sub bass its not hard to see why – serious business from D1.

Things couldn’t be more contrasting on the flip with the energetic party roller ‘Pitcher’. Skipping beats and a quirky lead line, with funky esq. melodies and soulful grooves – a really bouncing track. All in all another top draw release from Dub Police and a quality slab of vinyl from D1 showing us just how diverse this artist really is.
