When Kush Arora dropped his fourth title, "The Dread Bass Chronicles", a while back, we at Properly Chilled pointed out that he had produced a hybrid of dub, industrial and dancehall for the new millennium. That assertion remains true when addressing the newly released "Boiling Over", described as the first instrumental album by the San Francisco-based producer and remixer in five years.
Now that the first decade of the new century is fast drawing to a close, dubstep has to be named one of its greatest achievements in music. The deep dancehall-flavored bass sounds, which, in Arora’s case, are informed by the Southeast Asian inebriant perfumes of bhangra, are impossible to miss when looking in retrospect at these exciting new times.
This is music for late-night driving, for the after-hours activity that you may surrender yourself to after a long and tiresome night out. The reworking of "Alabaster Dub" by Kush himself and Sub Swara is especially suitable for that worn-out feeling of the mind and body, as is "Constructing the Absence". When abstraction is king and your senses are dormant, listening to this vacant kind of music is like getting punched in the stomach, only not painfully and quite enjoyable after all.
