JDNB Premiere - Conrad Subs - Nasty Shit [Murky Digital]

JDNB Premiere - You Heard It Here First! This week we showcase Conrad Subs forthcoming EP on Murky Digital Whats that lurking deep inside, festering away and ready to take hold...? Murky Digital presents Widowmaker, the latest release from veteran producer Conrad Subs. Known for smashing many styles, Conrad Subs has racked up stellar releases on Symmetry, Dread, Soulvent, Liondub and many more, with Widowmaker marking his third solo EP on Murky Digital. Fans of the label’s dark and underground soundscape will delight at this latest twisted offering. 'Dormant' kicks off Widowmaker. Weightless pad arrangements introduce the track, setting an ominous atmosphere like a misty fog coalescing on still-air hilltops. The gloomy sounds of the intro eventually give way to the verse. Here, rolling percussion sets a continuous vibe while foundation-shaking bass tones rumble and contort. 'Causing Danger' is up next. Bugged-out synths descend from the speaker in the intro, and after a brief vocal sample, the tune heats up. Here, the low-end is like an avalanche. Seismic in proportion and gritty in sound, it's paired off with militantly rhythmic drum lines: the two combining to create a rugged roller built to make bodies move. 'Widowmaker' opens with a staccato synth. It warbles in pitch, eventually expanding in scope and bringing every facet of the brain alive. Elsewhere, 'Nasty Shit' opens with eerie flute riffs and driving percussion before throbbing bass tones fall from the speaker like an avalanche. They continue to distort, eventually reaching a lava-thick fever pitch. 'Aftermath' closes the record. Steely rhythm lines provide the anchor, while monumental bass tones give the tune a galloping feel as though the sonics are on an odyssey from the speakers. Widowmaker will arrive to Juno Download and Spotify on 19th August, landing on all digital platforms a week later on 26th August.
