Subscape Mallet | Ease The Pain [Preview] Sub Soldiers

Don’t call it a comeback because he never went away: this might be Subscape’s first release since his ‘MyStyle’ project in 2013 but his sound and influence have remained a key cornerstone of modern dubstep during his time away from the release game.
One of the most distinctive, creative and musical contributors to the iconic Dub Police sound, Subscape has been entrenched deep in the field,forging his future. Exploring his new machines, processes, ideas and inspirations, the man behind vibrant and melodic scene-unifying hits such as ‘Turn Me On’ and smouldering emotional steppers such as ‘Nothing’s Wrong’ has been crafting an entirely fresh body of work... Which we’re about to experience in the coming months as we build up to his debut album project to launch.
Developing on his long-established brooding atmospheric signature with genre variations and tempo mutations, the Woking deepsmith is set to reveal more and more layers to his sound imminently.
Fittingly he’s kicking off with two of his most unconventional tracks to date: ‘Mallet’ ignites with his star-gazing sonic autograph before hurling us into a fuzzy, gritty bass hook that really hits as the title promises. It’s not until midway that we’re blindsided by a new synth hook that blazes over the gritty, stamping bedrock and brings the impact to life. ‘Ease The Pain’ also fulfils its title: its intro instantly soothes the mallet wounds with a soft-footed
UKG-inspired two-step and springy synths and we’re momentarily disarmed. But before long we’re plunged into much more glacial waters as a mechanical bass texture groans and shudders in the dubspace. Weighted but restrained, barbed and just a little introspective, once again the message is clear: Subscape is sitting on a cannon of fresh weapons. Who knows which direction he’s going to fire in next?
Only Sub Soldiers have the answer. Subscape is the only other artist to release on the imprint besides the label boss Caspa and longstanding partner in vibes Rusko. Don’t call this a comeback... This is a
takeover.
