Album: Ready to Go by Klaypex (2012)
Genre: Dubstep
Record Label: Klaypex
Format: Album

Description: The Miami electro duo Klaypex is known for its ability to bend time. Once Johnny Atar and Mark Emmanuel take to the decks, it’s easy to get so lost in deep dubstep grooves that before you know it, the sun has risen and it’s six in the morning. The title cut of 2012’s <i>Ready to Go</i> has everything you need: sweeping synth lines that stop and flutter like strobe lights, infectiously danceable beats, androgynous vocal samples, and a fathoms-deep bass wobble that rattles the solar plexus. Don’t be fooled by the simple jungle rhythms that introduce “Crazy.” As soon as that low end seeps in, the song gets anthemic with stormy synthesizers, big booming beats, and a gargantuan bass that drops like an elevator with cut cables. The rhythms drunkenly stumble around the beginning of “Hello” before jumping back on the tracks and chugging along with a locomotive flow. Not even halfway through, the tune drops dancehall hammers that sound tailor-made for smiling, sweaty faces and a sea of hands in the air. “Song 12” closes with a gradual swell of distorted tones.

Music Scene: Emerged in the contemporary era. Associated with Dubstep movement.

"Loose Dirt" showcases Klaypex's signature blend of energetic dubstep, characterized by heavy bass drops and intricate synth work. The production is polished, with a crisp clarity that highlights the dynamic range of each track. Songs like "Lights" and "Hit Me" feature aggressive rhythms and pulsating beats, while "Sleep to Dream" introduces a softer, melodic texture, creating a contrast that enhances the album's overall flow. The tempo varies, maintaining a high-energy pace that invites movement, while tracks like "Rain" incorporate atmospheric elements, adding depth. The inclusion of remixes, such as "E.T." and "Not Getting Any Better," showcases Klaypex's ability to reinterpret familiar sounds, making "Loose Dirt" a distinctive entry in the dubstep genre.
