CASPA Before he guests at Xplicit, swaggering dubstep king Caspa shows us his dance- floor weapons.
One of my favourite tracks at the moment is my new single Caspa ‘War’ (Positiva), which has got Keith Flint from The Prodigy on it. There’s a Subscape remix that has every- thing, it’s dancefloor but it’s not overly cheesy, it’s very heavy but it’s still got its roots. For me it’s one of my biggest tunes at festi- vals and clubs at the moment. Next one would be a tune from
The Others, ‘The Way You Make Me’ (Dub Police), that should be out soon. It kinda reminds me of if Daft Punk were to make dubstep – it’s very French electro but dubstep. Another tune from a guy with a funny name, Trolley Snatcha ‘Disco Stick’ (white label) – it’s a real heavy dancefloor banger. It’s got a really weird sample – it just goes ‘disco stick, disco stick, rock’n’roll’ then it drops. There’s no ifs or buts it’s just a big banging tune.
There’s an up-and-coming singer called Lena Cullen. To me she’s like Florence Welch from Florence + The Machine, but in the electronic world. She has this new tune, Lena Cullen ‘When I See You’ (white label), and again it’s produced by Subscape. I think it’s going to be a Top 10 UK chart tune that will come though from the underground; it’s so, so big but it’s only just started doing the rounds.
The final one is laidback but it can still work on the dance- floor, it’s from a new artist in the dubstep scene, Mydas ‘What I Do’ (Dub Police). It’s very emotional and deep. He’s very sample-based, very old school and he builds his dubstep tracks that way, so I love this tune to listen to at home as well as to dance. ■ Liquid Room, 225 2564, 18 Aug, 10.30pm–5am, £12.
