The Others
Gravity EP
A) Gravity
Starting off with a dreamy-like theme intro that takes you into a sick anthem that will make you want to raise your hands high, on any dance floor. Just as you are convinced that you are back in the 90ʼs raving in a dirty warehouse. D-code and Dexterous will smashes you right back into 2010 as their signature bass drops in and rolls you around on the floor like a little puppy. Gravity has already gained lots of support from DJs like…Caspa, Skream, N Type, & Mista Jam from BBC 1xtra. After you hear this track – you will dream about hearing it again. Future classic…Gravity!
B) Puppetwalk
This track starts with a rather minimalist “Twilight Zone” intro. It then drops into a heavy monster of a tune soon enough. With a baseline that sounds like it was infected by something that “didn’t kill it, but only made it stronger” It literally sounds sick! I really needn’t say too much about this one except; sparse and heavy as FCUK. Personal favorites. Love it.
C) Karma
A sparse upbeat intro shows its first glimpse of soul through a delayed chord stab that immediately throws your mind into a deeper state. The phrase “eyes down” comes to mind as this tune drops in to a really soothing and beautiful deep roller that seems to be tailor-made for your mind to drift away. At the same time it has both breaks and stabs that keep things moving. Although The Others may be more widely known for their tougher tunes to some, this is a clear reminder that they really are amongst the top producers on the deeper side of dubstep as well.
D) Dot 2 Dot
With a very suspicious thriller intro, Dot 2 Dot clearly states that you are heading for some sort of trouble. Since itʼs The Others, itʼs easy to believe it has something to do with a filthy bass line right from their bass laboratory. Mad scientists D-Code and Dexterous realized that their creation was alive, much like Frankensteinʼs monster. Only this monster is a giant, dizzy, vinyl robot that has one goal – to get you. Yea …get you good. You should definitely try this one out on the biggest and best sound system available to you.
