#64 Feat. Staff Picks in 140 / Deep Dubstep / Grime

DDDs favourite Berlin-based bass butcher Bukez Finest is back on the label, and this time hes cut up beats so rotten theyre gonna putrefy your very existence. Across three gnarly Putrefied Soul riddims, the Germans genome shaking production prowess is bordering on clinical insanity. Tortured genius or certified madman? Well let you decide. The eponymous opener stays true to Bukez heritage, with ice cold metallic textures and system shattering bass - before a techno breakdown that wouldnt be out of place at the Berghains most debauched raves. Malas been rinsing this one. Who Da Buckezt takes things in an all the more urban direction, with faux gangsta swag, nasty putrid beats and savage satanic synths. EP closer Bussin might be the nastiest of the lot, as discordant, disorientating swells, swoon and gloom, gorging on misery and discombobulation before glitchy breakbeats finally drag you down to the pits of hell. Ready to have your soul putrified? Youd be lucky.

Bukez Finezt, Phil Phader
