OUT JUNE 6TH ON BANDCAMP & STREAMING: https://hypeddit.com/685itn

"Mariposa EP" is a fresh reimagining of dubstep — one that breaks away from familiar genre tropes while doubling as a tribute to some of the most personally influential video games to W3C.

It kicks off with "Rise and Shine," a celebration of the 20-year anniversary of Half-Life 2 (2004). Much like in the game, you're woken up and thrown straight into action, with industrial ambiance and a downright menacing bassline setting the tone.

The title track, "Mariposa," reworks the Brian Eno-esque ambient soundtrack of Fallout 1 (1997) into a more dramatic but equally enigmatic trip through bottomless subbass.

"Resonance Cascade" channels the claustrophobic energy of Half-Life 1 (1998) into what seems like a classic dubstep shape — until it suddenly accelerates into a corrosive techno roller in its second act.

Rounding things out, "The Land of Opportunity" is a leftfield dubstep spin on the already ice-cold theme of GTA4 (2008), driven by a fittingly off-kilter kick pattern.
