Dubstep pioneer Doctor P just doesn’t seem to slow down, having already released a slew of new originals and remixes in 2020. While many of those songs perfectly reflect the hard and heavy dubstep sound that the seminal bass music producer is known for, his latest is a stunning offering that dives even further into his more melodic side. “Won’t Let Go” is an emotive trip, with heart-wrenching lyrics and vocal melodies that soar above bubbly, 8-bit inspired synths. Without those vocals, the track would almost feel more akin to an arcade game soundtrack, but the perfect balance of the playful synths and sentimental vocal work gives “Won’t Let Go” a unique and distinctive character. Doctor P’s most recent release comes just after his last s...

Let’s be honest—no matter how much undying love you and your rave bae have for each other, you fight sometimes despite being closer than peanut butter and jelly. GLD‘s latest release, “Mad, Cause I’m Right,” isn’t for the couples that work things out, though. It’s for those that are no longer lovebirds. The track, which arrived by way of Flux Pavilion‘s Circus Records, has all the makings of a sad boy anthem with heartbreak-themed lyrics, aching future bass chord progressions, and an infectious hook. Mattie, one-half of GLD, vocalizes the all-too familiar-feeling of arguing in circles with your significant other and the heartbreak that ensues. The track’s vocals have a unique feel akin to a Juice WRLD ballad, tugging at t...
Doctor P is back with his first single following the release of his most recent album, Animal Vegetable Mineral, Pt. 2. With his latest work, the bass music kingpin has put aside his filthy basslines, instead turning his attention toward serving up a bright and lively set of synths with his latest, “OD” alongside KOOLKID. It’s not everyday we hear Doctor P operating within the pop music framework, but “OD” is a timely reminder the “Big Boss” producer has an affinity for keeping listeners guessing. Subdued sonic textures gently usher in KOOLKID’s verse as a progression of 8-bit style leads begins to emerge. Doctor P has made video game-inspired sonics his calling card in years past, and he’s tailored the signature style ...
