Well known on the DnB and Dubstep scene for his fiendishly twisted artwork, UK creative genius Monsta is also a beast of a producer. In this, his third release for Subtrakt he teams up with 'Mr Key' to bring us 'Space Raiders', a vocal Dubstep demon of truly gargantuan proportions, so huge, in fact that it threatens to bring down mankind itself. Or maybe its just a packet of crisps? Dean Rodell bravely attempts to contain the threat on his remix, but an army of space raiders march up out of their packet and flatten the whole city using a supernatural arsenal of sonic weapons that pull down skyscrapers with rasping bass and fry a million brains with shrieking sirens that can be heard in even the far corners of the galaxy. On the second remix DnB hero 'Raiden' stands up, and the guerilla war begins. Taking his inspiration from the paranoid B-movies of the cold war era he morphs the original lead sounds into something so spooky and bizarre the Space Raiders have no choice but to pack their flying saucers and piss off back to ZetaReticuli. Phew, that was close. Supported by: Maryanne Hobbs (BBC Radio1)
