Artist MOLDY Ft Preston Murphy

Catalogue EMB005

Release Date November 30th, 2010

Distributed by ST Holdings, LTD.

Mastered by Dave Sharma

Words by Shortstack

Embassy Recordings returns with a two track release from one of the originators of stateside dubstep in Portland, Maine’s Moldy.  The release shows us two deep cuts which clearly establish the legitimacy of his Heavy Pressure concept.

A. Embrace the Filth ft. Preston Murphy employs the use of an upright that graced the hands of legendary jazz bassist Charles Mingus.  The track teases a jazzy ambience with an electric keyboard over fierce stepper-oriented beats.  The tune drops hard with a pulsating bass indicative of the unpredictable temperament of Mingus himself.  The tune is carried by militant marching snares and angrily plucked basslines before dropping sharply back into a subdued dark funk.

B. On No Means To Smoke It Moldy offers us his trademark sound.  Starting with an appropriate vocal sample and dubbed-out melody, however does not waste time before exposing itself as one of the deepest grooves of the year.  Sparse percussion sits atop a rolling bassline in a call-and-response framework creating a hollow oscillation that pushes the track forward beside reggae tinged piano.

Juakali’s Smoke Clears EP is the 4th release on Foreign Familiar featuring two original songs and two remixes within the dubstep genre. The title track is a dub-centric roller produced by Los Angeles’ SMOG affiliates Kelly Dean & Steady that boasts the two remixes one by skillful producer/DJ from India known as Breed, the other by Maine’s Heavy Pressure commandant Selector Moldy. The Breed remix maintains dub elements captured in the original, married with sub-stutter popular in current dubstep releases. Moldy’s remix harks to a well-honed sub pressure context that nods toward rebellion. Juakali’s vocal is commanding on all versions. His lyrics are considerably noteworthy for topical debates. A gem of a tune called Bodega is the ‘b-side’ of this release. Produced by San Francisco’s Jus Wan warranting Jua’s playful yet heart-felt approach in performance. Multiple playbacks is encouraged. There is really nothing quite like this release in the market.

Dub War Podcast 12 – Moldy by Moldy

HPR004
Moldy ft. Dynamo-P

1 Pegasus [feat. Dynamo P]

2 Pegasus Dub

Heavy Pressure is back with Moldy’s long awaited Pegasus. Portland, Maine based MC Dynamo-P makes his debut with a slice of urban mythology as Moldy harnesses simplicity and darkness on the buttons once again. Hypnotic synth work and primal drum machinery lead the way to a face full of bass. A feathery flute and ominous atmospherics complete the equation. The result? A dubstep/rap hybrid that’s been proven in the dance time and time again with DJ support from the likes of Dave Q, Incyde, Joe Nice and The Bomb Squad.
