A noteworthy constituent of France’s bolstering dubstep scene, Graphyt has expertly navigated a thrilling hybrid-bass style that incorporates playful minimalistic introductions, as a tribute to the earliest upbringings of UK-dubstep, which grow effortlessly into massive builds that break cleanly into barrages of sonic frequencies.
Dual-wielding lethal volumes of bass, Graphyt’s latest two-track release simulates an exhausting audible altercation. Disguised by a glowing synth melody, a gripping bass undertone slowly seeps into the introduction of ‘Upside Down’. A momentary break exposes a furious digital cadence, which grows amid dominant drums before heaving into an outright invasion of bass.
An abrupt riser unleashes a relentless, grungy bassline leaving no time to spare as ‘Smashing’ begins to take shape. Aptly placed beat breaks provide a choppy tempo, which Grapyht contrasts ingeniously with an insatiable synth pattern and deafening horns. A piercing build begins to materialize as a well-timed sample intensifies the energy of the track to a peak, launching into tumultuous ripples of bass.
Flaunting the dexterity of his sound, Graphyt’s latest two-part saga further reveals the complexity and expertise of his production capability. Utilizing riveting synths and upbeat drums to build an impassioned preamble, ‘Upside Down’ takes a lethal turn as catastrophic walls of resonating frequencies rain down, while ‘Smashing’ wastes not a moment getting right down to business.
