Figured

507projex presents, “Figured.”  Figure performed at the Loft in Minneapolis May 14^th, 2011, brought to you by local dubstep heroes, Twin Cities Dubstep. 

As dubstep’s ubiquity has continued to pervade the electronic music scene both nationally and internationally over the last several years, I must say the unrelenting onslaught of sub-sonic bass nasty can get to a fellow.  Granted, my preference for dubstep is muted in comparison to the ravenous thirst Minneapolis has for the genre, so it is not hard for me to become disillusioned and perhaps (aghast!) a bit bored with the style.  In fact, this is essentially the trending of my thoughts regarding the music over the last two years.  However, this is not to say that I dislike dubstep.  That would be an insincere statement.  I do like dubstep, sometimes I just need a break from it—or, I need someone to come along and drop kick me in the mouth with bass lines that tickle LFO fancies I never knew existed.  Such a drop kick was delivered, in full force, some months ago when TC Dubstep posted Figure’s track, The Werewolf.

I literally could not stop listening to it.  Whenever I was in the mood for an absolute brawl with bass, I would turn to Figure.  His tracks are as in-your-face as dubstep can get, foregoing the emo-ish hooks of Skrillex and the at-sometimes redundant robot sex of Excision.  Terming his style “Monsterstep,” Figure injects a horrifying freshness into the scene that must be heeded; dubstep producers that fall complacent, those that continue to churn out the same ol’ dubstep, ought to pay attention.  Because Figure is unearthing continents of untilled dubstep, and he is taking his sound with him straight to the top.
