Honestly, the current state of dubstep is in a really weird place at the moment. After experiencing tons of success across the U.S. during 2010 and 2011, the booming genre took a bit of a backseat to house and trap during the past couple years. But something has smelled different in the 2014 EDM air. Sets don’t look – or feel – quite the same. Upon looking more closely, you’ll notice that there is a bass music shift that’s slowly taking place. Trust me, if you’ve listened to recent live sets from big name artists like 12th Planet, Datsik, & Excision, it’s pretty darn obvious that they are just itching to get back on board the dubstep express. All aboard everybody! The train is leaving the station.

Speaking of producers like 12th Planet, Datsik, & Excision, they all have one thing in common – an undeniable affinity for JPhelpz productions. C’mon people, how could these masters of hard and heavy dubstep not take notice of this ear-assaulting prodigy? He’s been popping up all over the place lately! First it was his Genius LP released via Prime Audio and now Firepower Records brings us his raunchy Living Dead EP.

These four new dubstep tunes are specifically aimed at the most tough and rugged individuals, so please be careful about pressing that play button if you are ill-equipped to handle bloodthirsty bass music. Personally, I haven’t been able to stop blasting “Brains” since the second I first heard it and “Summon The Dead” is that type of musical nastiness that I go to bed dreaming about late at night. Oh yeah, and the other two tracks aren’t too shabby either. Truth be told, I could make a very strong argument that this release might be the most dominant dubstep EP of 2014 thus far. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
