Over the past few years, J:Kenzo has gone from being a promising one-to-watch in the dubstep scene, to a deeply respected producer capable of approaching the genre from all manner of angles. Alongside fellow Tempa signings SP:MC, LX ONE and Proxima, his tracks—deep, dense and physically overbearing—offer continued proof that a minimalist approach can, if wielded properly, give devastating results. Having made his Tempa debut last year with the cinematic halfstep of 'The Roteks', and followed it up with the subtly anthemic 'Ruffhouse', his third 12" for the label shows off two varied sides of his sound. A-side 'Invaderz' is, in many ways, classic J:Kenzo: its whipcrack snares fortified with rude, plunging sub-bass and licks of techno-leaning melody. Like all of his music, it's dark and foreboding, but carries itself with an intuitive sense of funk. As its name suggests, 'Depth Charge' on the flip plunges deeper still into the vortex, its snappy percussion paired with caustic rips of sub-bass, like the grinding of heavy machinery. Put simply, dubstep in 2012 doesn't get much heavier, deeper or more forward-thinking than this.
