Two names quickly advancing the ranks of modern dubstep, Josh Cassidy & WRAITH are only just beginning an onslaught of audible terror. Exploiting the vast expanse lodged just between trap and dubstep, Sydney’s Josh Cassidy has grown notorious for sound design dexterity and an unrivaled ability to champion his own authenticity in remixes such as Spag Heddy’s ‘Zoom’ or a flip of RL Grime’s edit of ‘Acrylics’ by TNGHT. Maintaining an air of secrecy surrounding his style, Perth-native WRAITH capitalized upon the massive trajectory surrounding his debut Circus Records release ‘Vermin’ alongside AXEN, which set an initial standard of excellence that has only been further challenged with preceding releases such as ‘Imperial Flow.’
Working cohesively for the release of their latest collaboration, ‘FLEX’ utilizes an introduction like a surprise ambush. Leveraging the suspense of a nonchalant piano melody, a sudden fragmented vocal sample ignites a furious build that seizes the track within its clutches before launching into a variegated gauntlet of gritty bass and wildly resonating digital frequencies.
