1. Original Mix
Hectic’s new release on Rub-A-Duck will make you bounce your head from beginning to end. ‘The Ripper’ is a one-of-a-kind track with a huge sound, mixing UK Dub with heavy reggae and jungle influences. Definitely a must-listen!
Tim Fitzpatrick; known in the industry as Hectic, has dropped a wide variety of acclaimed tracks in a very short period of time, ranging from dubstep to glitch hop to garage and UK bass music. Hectic's previous releases, including the tracks “Complex”, “Evolve”, “Fatal”, “Sudden Death”, “Don’t Tell Me”, “Zone 10”, “How Could You” and “You Got Me” have established his name once and for all. His latest releases, the ''Trendsetter'' EP and ''Drop It'', as well as various tracks on DJ Hatcha's label, Hatched, delivered a raw, uncut and heavy dubstep workout to the dancefloors. Setting the pace with relentless beats in a spacious and rough soundscape, it is clear that Hectic gives a new twist to the dubstep genre. He has received radio play and support from BBC Radio 1Xtra, Kiss FM, XFM and Sub FM.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The top bass record label Rub A Duck is definitely huge success story in the music business. The label manage very shortly to establish unique sound and recognised identity from its followers worldwide. Bass heavy music is the name of the game for the brand new release by Hectic. The Ripper is an excellent hybrid of sounds, styles and influences in truly urban underground mode that doesn't afraid to go against the grain and explore new territories. With superb reggae dub, trip hop and even dubstep and jungle samples the track will remind you Orbital, Tricky, and even Portishead. With melodramatic strings and dark, moody and sinister atmosphere is the type of track that you can easily listen in a video game or tv series. Its one of those tracks that you close your eyes and let your imagination run away wild and free cause many mental images come to your mind. Love iT
