Boddika & Joy Orbison - Froth / Mercy [New Release]


Purchase: Redeye Records | Chemical Records

To be honest, I've been waiting a while for this release to come out, and I'm about to pick it up after I write this post, and you should too after listening to the previews at the bottom. So basically, this is the first release by two of the biggest underground artists in the dubstep/post-dubstep/bass music/whatever-the-hell-you-want-to-call-it scene on their newly formed label Sunklowun, which is where Joy Orbison and Boddika will be putting out several 12" releases. These two producers are no strangers to collaborating, specifically with their last collaborating being "Swims," which was released exclusively on 12" on dubstep artist Loefah's Swamp 81 label not too long ago. While Joy Orbison has been known for putting out deep dubstep bangers, most notably "Hyph Mngo," his releases lately have been influenced towards a more house-y sound. His collaboration with Boddika's more techno influenced style leads to some interesting results, with the strict, rigid four-on-the-floor beats that characterize techno with the more rhythmic chord stabs that characterize house. Since there's no word yet on whether or not there will be a digital release on this, it's best that you bag this before the stock runs out. This release has definitely got me groovin', and I definitely look forward to anything else that comes out of this huge collaboration!
