Proper Tings by Usurp The Throne

The latest release from the Simply Deep camp comes from Usurp The Throne. Simply Deep is seeing through its 11th release with this piece which features 5 tracks, including an original and 4 remixes from ETHER, Imanzi, Aranha and a Proper Junglist VIP from Usurp himself.

The intro to most of the tracks within the EP start off with some very melodic even euphoric soundingchords mixed in with a real feel good flute to get it rolling. Hard hitting 808s & kicks are mixed in throughout each individual track. Usurp gradually comes through with a clean squarewave bass spreaded throughout 16 bars along with the 808 side chained which makes the kicks seem to have authority throughout.

ETHER is a well established dubstep producer from the mighty USA - Denver, Colorado. He has seen releases on legendary labels such as Encrypted Audio & Well Rounded Records. He comes in with a 147bpm grimeesque remix, where kicks & choppy snare movements are a main factor within the tune. The sub bass on this one is roaring and it’s movements in the frequencies are so satisfying and weighty. From start to finish it kept me locked with the second drop being very glitchy, but sticking to the main theme of the track.

Imanzi, a long term server for Simply Deep, steps in with a Footwork remix which gets the head bopping at the sheer quality of amen breaks dripped throughout. This track is like stepping into a Jungle/ Breaks rave in the 90s, and we love it! Aranha is a new-ish face to the Simply Deep crew with another release from the previous compilation ‘Vol 2’. Part of Hexagon Dubs, he’s mostly revolved around the 140bpm mark but this remix sees him step into a 160ish section.

Usurps VIP of Proper Tings blows me away though. From the double time focus on the main drop to the half-time snares, to the in yer face bass, it really gets a feel from some of the high end producers such as Ivy Lab, Shield, HØST etc.
