Hectic presents a brand new two track EP on the Rub A Duck imprint, featuring the titles “Don’t Tell Me” and “Zone 10”.
Talented UK Dubstep producer Hectic already made fame with various releases on Ministry of Sound and most notably with his recent batch of unofficial remixes that he made of tracks taken from The Prodigy album “Invaders Must Die”. The first title to kick off the EP is “Don’t Tell Me”, an undercooled but perfectly set up dubstep gem. A subtle use of synth and string programming gives the entire cut a movie soundtrack style sound that draws full focus on the beats, supported by a crisp and deep bassline. The synth line that sets in after the break will remind the older cats of the intro to the movie “Wild Style”, which adds even more street feel to the track.
The second title of the EP is “Zone 10”, a cut with rough industrial drum programming. It’s clear that Hectic doesn’t shy away from elaborate arrangements, in this case orchestral string chords with an attractive dark undertone, not to mention of course the deep rolling bassline. Here and there we hear subtle references to classic Coil productions, especially if you check out the beats. With this EP Hectic has definitely put his name on the UK dubstep map, giving every self respecting DJ two superb cuts to ignite the world’s dancefloors.
Dimitri Kechagias review:Rub-A-Duck provides to the dubstep fans a brand new ep that is quite slower that usual dustep tunez. Both Hectic tracks included in this EP are quite atmospheric, laid back, trippy and cinematic in their construction. Slower tempo and complex composition are the main characteristics of both tracks that will definitely add an edge on any dj set that maybe used particularly in a room with plenty of thick smoke and good light system. For some minutes you will feel lost inside Zone 10 so Dont Tell Me that you dont want to take the challenge. Get on this rough after drum n bass style and enjoy the rough ride.
