Soltan Drops High-Voltage Bass EP, “Dustinations”

With his awe-inspiring dubstep and bass music production, Soltan has dazzled the masses time and time again. His new Dustinations EP only stokes the wonderment, providing us with five festival-ready bangers.

Out now on NGHTMRE and SLANDER's Gud Vibrations label, Dustinations is Soltan's first EP since 2016's Jadugar, though he's released no shortage of singles and collaborations since. "Serpent King" kicks off the project out on a raucous note, its punchy drums and acid-fueled bass promising a wild ride ahead.

Then comes the titular "Dustinations" and "Masyaf," where Soltan dips his toes into the turbulent waters of bass house. He seamlessly transitions the second drop of both back to his signature dubstep style, showcasing his formidable versatility in the studio.

"Babel Bug" finds him exploring a more languid sound, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's any gentler. Chopped and muddled samples saturate the mix while grimy, textured 808s propel through like toxic sludge. Though a standout on its own, it seems to operate as a segue into the EP's final track, "Blinking Stars," which acts as a jolt strong enough to electrify listeners into a stupor.
