A Recommendation: Clubroot - Scars/Hellion

When we interviewed Jamie from Solace Records back in January, we spoke a little about their first forthcoming release by dubstep don Clubroot. Well, we're now a little closer to the release date, and I thought I'd tell you a little more about it.


If you've listened to Clubroot's stuff before then you know what to expect (and if you haven't you're seriously missing out!) and A-side Scars won't let you down. A deep, dark track with a huge sub to keep things rolling. Check it out below:


However, for what it's worth, my opinion is that the flip, B-side Hellion, is the stand out track of the two. It's a powerful track with plenty of (tastefully-done) midrange, something that quite a lot of producers seem to try nowadays, but none seem to have the impact that Clubroot does on this track. Check it out.


The release has got a lot of support from DJs as varied as Rob Da Bank to TRG to Mary Anne Hobbs to Sasha, and it really is quite a way for Solace Records to introduce themselves to the world with a stunning debut, that will definitely keep me happy until Clubroot's long awaited third album drops.

You can bag it in stores on vinyl and digital from stores on February 27th 2012. Put that in your diaries now, you won't want to miss out.
