Japans City1 makes a powerful debut on LDH Records with the Spring Man EP, delivering four dynamic tracks that capture his signature blend of deep bassweight and innovative sound design. Originating from the tropical shores of Okinawa and now based in Tokyo, City1 is a core member of Goth-Trads Back To Chill crew - a key force in Japans flourishing dubstep scene. The title track, Spring Man, sets the tone with pulsating low frequencies and hypnotic rhythms, showcasing City1s undeniable mastery of the genre. Disturbance, a collaboration with Møndaigai, unfolds with dark atmospheres and relentless percussion, while Mad Kingdom, another joint effort, ventures further into eerie sonic landscapes.

Pushing the boundaries of dubstep while remaining rooted in its foundation, Spring Man is a testament to City1s ability to craft music that resonates both on the dancefloor and in headphones.
