Dub Police are proud to present ‘Mad Man’, a release that truly taps into the deepest heritage of UK bass culture. Caspa’s new material features one of London’s most lyrically chiselled MCs in prize fighting mode... And it brings us right back to the scene’s original roots when grime and Dubstep were deep seeds planted together to grow vastly different trees.
This collaboration between the pioneering producer and Roll Deep affiliate debuted on Dub Police’s ‘Past Present Future’ album. It turned heads instantly: Riko’s sharp-tongued venom, Caspa’s thick, lava-like bass, anchor-like kicks, the graveyard drama intro: it ties together everything we’ve ever loved about both Dubstep and Grime in a timeless, fearless fashion. No unnecessary over-production, no extremities: just a thunderous, sub-surged stepper that snarls with Riko’s distinctive, aggy deftness.
J:Kenzo was the perfect man for the remix fix. Having supported the original, he understood the track implicitly and knew how to pay respect to Caspa’s creation while making it his own. Retaining the pranged sensations of the original intro, the Tempa tearaway subverts the vibe with his signature deep, spacious twists and smoky undertones, stretching the bass and stripping the beats back to a mean, lean swing.
To give both sides to this unique collaboration their own leases of life, both the instrumental and Riko’s acappella are also included in this heavyweight release. The complete package, no sonic stone has been left unturned.
