Cory Enemy & Dillon Francis - Ultra EP [Dubstep.net Review]

“Ultra” EP Review

By: Aaron Rush from Dubstep.net

LA based monster producer Dillon Francis released his long awaited collab with Cory Enemy, better yet this absolute steal of an EP is being given out for free! Enemy and Francis, being long time mates took the time out of their summer tours to bring out this belter that will stay with you long after you stopped hearing its dulcet tones. “Ultra” was going to be released on Francis’s label but with a lot of samples that couldn’t be cleared it was just released for free lads! 

Cory Enemy & Dillon Francis - Ultra EP by DILLONFRANCIS

The EP starts off with the title track, which has some slow progressive synths matched with some cute backing vocals…  Until it breaks in with a street fighter reference, moving to the heavy mid section, perfectly balanced with some harmonics and chilling synths.  With all that going on you’d think it’d be too much, but ‘Ultra’ balances it all perfectly.  A perfect start and exactly what would be expected from the two producers.
Moving onto the second track ‘Who the fuck are you’, these two make unique sounds that seem to mix dance style harmonics with a hefty dub influence.  A minute in and it’s already far less hectic, more something to chill out to at a house party, or that’s how it seems.  Until it all breaks in with a cheeky vocal drop “Who the fuck are you”.  The slower bass lines match seamlessly with the high and pure electronic notes.  Picking you back up and throwing in the flawless mix of styles.  The track seems simple, but deep, mixing in euphoric chimes to leave you with a feeling of purity, until we move into the finale. 

‘’I love you’’ Picking it back up again with some stunning vocals and an edited Beyoncé sample start to enhance the atmosphere, before a huge vocal drop.  Winding back up to the mid section, full of samples sounding like a dying Nintendo that you can hear throughout.  The second drop mixes deep bass with an overly sweet but chilling “I love you”, before breaking into the drop.  The swing changes the entire feel of the song, and it seems like this is a track that is constantly evolving as you listen to it.  Whilst the sweet electronica influence screams at you right the way through, making every drop have much more impact.  What a beast of an ending, but I would of been disappointed with any less. 

If you haven’t downloaded this already stop reading, go to Soundcloud and do it….RIGHT NOW!  DO IT! CLICK IT!  CLICK IT WITH YOUR FINGERS AND THEN LISTEN WITH YOUR EARS. Right, done it?  Good.  This absolute belter of a collab not only shows why Dillon is at the top of his game at the minute and keeps on climbing, but also that he is still able to work with and help promote one of his biggest influences in the genre.  They mix genres and themes and break the concept of just hefty bass to sell a track.  It’s no doubt that you will hear this when you’re out, hopefully through a stack that will actually do it justice.

Beats Antique - Revival (MartyParty Remix)

Click the image below to grab MartyParty aka Mr. Folb aka the Purple Bass Eater's new remix of "Revival" by Beats Antique.  The piece goes everywhere one would expect it to, a very Marty remake of the track that first appeared on BA's 2010 release, Blind Threshold; note the near extraction of the glitch from the original, in its place purplesteppery is left like breadcrumbs.

Echaskech - Change the Station

Echaskech is a UK-based live electronica outfit with a voluminous range in genre and sensibilities.  Their new single "Change the Station" (available for free download on their site) is a synth-riddled wobbleriffic hip hop tour de force featuring US rapper, The Napoleon Complex.  Asserting that the "news makes me nauseous," this track not only convinces the brain to nod its head--it also elevates the ethereal beat into a discussion of mainstream media.  Watch the great video of "Change the Station" below or check it out on their Soundcloud page.
