Dr. Nimble - Make Contact


Strings. Strings. Strings. If you know me personally or are an avid reader of this blog (ha!), you know I'm a sucker for strings. And really, that's what's sucking me into this track. The strings are by no means that of a virtuoso, but they're present and in dubstep's childlike development stage, that's all that counts right now. Put these strings in a breakcore track and I'd throw it out the window (metaphorically, but hell I might burn it onto a CD just to do physically), but with the simplistic nature of most dubstep tracks, they work in this one. The bass packs a solid punch and there's a handful of variations that keep the track interesting. There aren't many layers, but when I heard this I immediately thought "double-drop mashup" so that could play into a DJ's hands for the best. Some people use strings similar to this as a cinematic opening to draw you in (and allow for a mixpoint before the drop) and then throw away, never layering them back in, but Dr. Nimble doesn't tease--he delivers. He throws them back in and that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
