The French composer of electronic dance
music known as DJ Pad has released his latest official LP album,
“Dubstep: Second Strike.” The album contains 15 original tracks
for an approximate total listening time of one hour. Like Pad's other
records, it has been proudly published as an independent release by
the 4000 Records underground label. Kaleidoscopic, pounding with
bass, and full of tricks and surprises, “Dubstep: Second Strike”
is perhaps the most innovative material to come from DJ Pad yet.
DJ Pad is perhaps best known around the
world for arguably being Europe's most prolific EDM artist, if not
her most prolific musician altogether. Having been composing
electronic music since 2008, Pad has amassed a titanic repertoire of
more than 700 original tracks in over 30 music genres, mostly
electro- house, trance and dubstep. He averages about 100 songs each
year, most of them over four minutes long.
If a DJ Pad fan were to listen to all
of Pad's music end-to-end without taking any breaks, DJ Pad songs
would still be pouring from the speakers on the dawn of the third
day. Amazon Digital Music alone hosts more than 200 of these original
songs available for sample, sale and download.
Yet Pad somehow still finds new ways to
branch out and discover melodies. “Dubstep: Second Strike” is a
highly polished sequel to his 2014 record, “Dubstep: First Strike,”
and an avid music listener can hear the subtle complexities which
have arisen in Pad's style over the last two years. Another change is
that “Second Strike” is only an hour long. Some Pad albums are as
long as three.
Speaking of his new LP, Pad writes, “In
this quite 'short' album, I've wanted to give to all my fans my
vision of dubstep with generally complex drops and intro/breaks
coming from other genres.”
Tracks which are sure to stand out
include the opening song, “Arpy,” the eclectic “Spacy and
Curvy,” and the mellow “Beach Basket.” A reggae-flavored track,
“Not so Long Title” is also prominent. Pad's closer, “Glossy
Elephant,” is a welcome throwback to the golden age of electronica
with a heavy coat of dubstep on it.
As DJ Pad fans have come to expect,
this is yet another remarkable success from the artist, one which no
Pad collection is complete without. This is likely to be perceived as
the best from DJ Pad so far.
“Dubstep: Second Strike” by DJ Pad
is available from 4000 Records online worldwide now.
