Dr. Ozi never disappoints. The Canadian producer has a unique style that makes his tracks immediately enjoyable, without becoming repetitive after a couple of listens. You can still hear bass DJs playing out his 2016 track ‘Youth In Asia’, while ‘HartyHar’ and ‘BLT’ are still in my personal rotation of dubstep favourites. Earlier this year, his Vital EP was followed by an electric single, a ground-shattering Never Say Die: Black Label release, and a signature remix for LAXX. Today, Dr. Ozi continues his dominance with a dual-single on Never Say Die titled Pitchforks & Fire / Formula.
‘Pitchforks & Fire’ gets straight in your face with wicked knocking synths that were masterfully transitioned from a background element in the intro to a powerful drop lead. After a brief pause, Dr. Ozi ups the ante with more tortuous basses. If, for some reason, you thought the track wasn’t dirty enough, the second drop will put you at ease, as Dr. Ozi’s distinct sounds with expert arrangements hit hard. In ‘Formula’, Justin Starling’s vocals lead listeners into another dubstep classic. Again showcasing the Canadian producer’s impeccable sound design, ‘Formula’ goes from gnarly dubstep to absolute riddim mayhem in a matter of seconds.
Prepare yourself, because Pitchforks & Fire / Formula are a trip into the future of dubstep. Check them out below!
