Coming soon: Deep Dubstep

Review: After a leapfrogging debut on Juan Forte way back in 2021, London dubsteppers Leftlow return with another well-wrought 12", again front cover artworked by in-house cartoonist Chas, 'Ones & Twos'. Snakes and frogs battle it out in spectacular antipathy, as a thick-rimmed double bill of heavyweight contemporary dubstep drillers prove difficult to flub. Juan Forte has been threading sound system culture through vinyl, visuals, and low-frequency gatherings since 2016; Beavs, Brizz, Dott, Fonz, Jaya, and Underhill hear loop-ins from resident illustrator Chas, building a growing family of producers; this latest pair of slammers is but one of at least six new ones to top up the exquisitors' outlet, whose remit spans everything from riso zines to CD-R style listening sessions.
