Latest drops from Texan badman Jason Mundo for his neat Dub Assembly imprint. Continuing to skirt the edges of the dubstep style in his usual fashion, Mundo works out a fierce bass gremlin on 'Fear no one', with a taut rhythmic infrastructure providing support for his rampant bass growl mista Mundo tweaks the riddim into dance driving shapes worthy of a big soundsystem. 'Hear youts' continues his winning formula with his syrupy screwed basslines ... READ MORE ABOUT: MUNDO, Fear No One / Hear Youts, DUB ASSEMBLY ![]()
Ridiculous low-end business from Mundo here - by far and away the best thing this producer has put his name to yet. You can't get any clearer than labelling your track "Low" - especially when it truly is one of the most f*cked up examples of slowed down, decimated BASS engineering you'll hear this year. The track travels at a deceptively slow skank, looped and dominated by a solitary, slowed down vocal sample and a heaving low-end rumble that nev...

The return of Jason Mundo after a wee absence, once again presenting another 2-track dubplate of bass ruffage for your delectation. "Down in The South" tumbles in with a raucous blend of gnarly strings and a grinding bassline, the obligatory vocal samples doing their thang very nicely over the top. "Dub Of The Dread" on the flip is a more rootsy affair, valve-operated synths providing the vintage Dub keys while a steppers vibe permeates the mix -...

Jason Mundo keeps loading them up thick 'n fast, now onto the 4th release in the Dub Assembly schedule, further defining his deep south dubstep ideal. 'Big up' runs with an 808 styled riddim, taking the same T la Rock/Mantronix reference point as Loefah and now Kode9 (check this weeks Soul Jazz release), and shackles it to a snarling bass for an effective dancefloor driving sound. 'Threat' comes down with the fear on the flip, entering an echo ch... READ MORE ABOUT: MUNDO, Big Up, DUB ASSEMBLY ![]()
Barely pausing for breath, Dub assembly unleash another 10" plate of fiercely warped dubstep killers from the man like Mundo. Taking a cue from Loefah, 'My Sound' incorporates some blatant early electro/hiphop swagger cowbell drawing connections between New York's Jamaican sound-system culture and today's floor scouring, roof wrecking bassline techniques for an nasty dancehall shockout gagging for multiple rewinds. 'Burn it down' is another chop ... READ MORE ABOUT: MUNDO, My Sound, DUB ASSEMBLY ![]()
As all dubstep heads worth their salt know, the second drop always hits hardest and it couldn't be more true for Dub Assembly's next installment from Mundo. Rolling in with distant steel drums and heavily compressed percussion (to sound better on a big system) Mundo hacks in some Distance style metal guitar chops over a bassline that could almost be Pinch's 'Punisher' bass, but isn't. Hooking up with Lifted MC for the B-side spreads the wide open... READ MORE ABOUT: MUNDO, We Kill You, DUB ASSEMBLY ![]()
Hailing from the dubstep hotbed of Texas, the number one UKG DJ in the USA Jason Mundo launches his new Dub assembly imprint with the massive 'Still Stand Rasta' riddim. Kicking off innocently enough with a rigid 2-steppers beat before declaring 'I am a rasta' and plunging deep into the sort of bassline most UK producers would kill for, Dub Assembly lunges into the dubstep cognoscenti. Riding this mammoth b-line Mundo adds in some sparkling dub c... READ MORE ABOUT: MUNDO, Still Stand Rasta, DUB ASSEMBLY ![]()
