Kapsize is very proud to present our next release from none other than international dubstep superstar - BENGA! A man who should need little introduction - Benga has been famously instrumental in shepherding dubstep music from its inception almost 10 years ago, right through to the global phenomenon it has become now. Having stormed the charts and festivals recently as one third of the mighty Magnetic Man, Benga is still able to walk a delicate tightrope - consistently providing us with credible underground dancefloor music with an accessible edge. The two cuts Benga lets loose here on Kapsize, 'Faithless' and 'Acid Lie', exemplify this finely tuned understanding of how to work a dancefloor into a frenzy without losing one's cool. So onto the music... 'Faithless' has been a staple of Joker's sets for several months now - a solid power anthem of a tune. Building up initially with a 4/4 kick pattern and fast chopping cyber samples, 'Faithless' soon introduces a Prodigy-esque riff - something that sonically sits between a distorted guitar sample and futuristic synth sound - before laying down the sub-heavypressure of the full drop. A massive club tune by even Benga's own standards! Flip then for the equally excellent 'Acid Lie' which leads with a looping, low-slung and sleezy live bass line - think something from the soundtrack to Kill Bill or Snatch, warning the imminent presence of some bad dudes! Rising textures bring in the leading acid riff line which continues to morph dynamically over the thundering sub bass. A retro rave reference with a very futuristic twist - one for the heads and the ravers alike!
