Loefah is without doubt a bastion of dubstep. With a multitude of releases on labels such as DMZ, Planet Mu, Big Apple, Tectonic and Deep Medi, Loefah holds a distinctive sound which recalls early hip hop, dub and jungle. Bass is the primary function in his productions and with tracks like 'Goat Stare' and 'Ruffage' this can be heard to full effect. Loefah’s use of sub-bass frequencies in his productions is legendary. He is widely considered as the man with the heaviest basslines in dubstep. As well as pumping out a steady flow of releases and remixes on virtually every major dubstep label, he has been smashing dance floors the world over with impeccable DJ skills and exclusive selections.
Unlike other producers (Skream, N-Type, Caspa and Pinch to name but a few), Loefah's bass excursions don't venture into the wibbly wobbly sub-aquatic realms. Instead they attempt to shatter the listener's rib cage with frequencies that could be used by French riot police. It is interesting to compare his earlier production outings on Big Apple and the Grime compilation for Rephlex with his later efforts. It's obvious from tracks like 'Jungle Inflitrator', 'Indian Dub' and 'Fire Elements' that he has a keen ear for rhythms, but we are yet to be fully exposed to "that" bass sound, which is (for better or worse) now considered his trademark. But these earlier rhythmical experiments have helped him forge a sound which encapsulates crisp and clipped ethnic/tribal beats with bass sonics that verge on the brown note.
