(each post will be a quote btw so just look in there)

right i'm done, yap fest over (for this post at least), go listen to V004 even if you don't like dubstep, Space Laces truly is the Hideo Kojima of dubstep

it's like they were all met with pure disgust - it sounds like the cleanest hellscape, it's so distorted and broken but also so clean and vivid at the same time and it just resulted in a permanent stank face

anyways

i can't name a single song in there i didn't like, of course some had a higher impact but that's beside the point - sandworm especially

i went through so many people's reactions to V004 and one of the most consistent things was people's reaction to sandworm

like I don't plan on making dubstep or anything, that's not my style anymore but like

ice pick made me want to pick it up again JUST so i can say i gave up because of ice pick, that's how it feels

it's more like i love it to the point i looped right back around to hating it, like what kind of sorcery did Space Laces & Svdden Death pull to do that and WHY does it sound so evil

i was legit mad for days after listening to it. it just made me so bitter, what the hell man

actually imma fixate on 'ice pick' for a second because that's one that Space Laces teased before releasing V004, and both my partners can verify that ice pick just straight up made me mad, not because i hated it mind you, kinda

but then there's songs like 'loose ends', 'untouchable', 'ice pick' and ESPECIALLY 'sandworm' that, like i said, bring about an odd feeling of despair in knowing that i'll probably never get to experience anything like that ever again

songs like 'keep it cool', 'worm time', 'rewind', and 'tank' all take me away from what i'm currently doing to get me to focus on what i'm listening to

there are moments in this mix that i've obviously heard before, but like, done with a level of mastery that's just downright stupid to hear - like yeah you can throw tomato stuff, meat and an onion in a pot and call it a bolognese, but it's that meticulous care and details that are required

it made me realise that barring two or three artists like Eptic, Eliminate, or even Svdden Death, Space Laces is currently the only consistently reliable pillar remaining in this genre. the scene evolves when he evolves, that's just how much influence he has over the genre

if you're gonna go ahead and call me a Space Laces glazer then you'd be goddamn right because good lord the sheer amount of despair this mix threw me into purely because it made me realise no one else could ever possibly come close to Space Laces as far as production level goes
