Review: 'West End Wobbler' EP - Zero

Zero - West End Wobbler EP

Released 29th January 2025

Deadbeats

Zero’s first release of 2025 is a face-melting wobbler as its name suggests. A tearing 2 tracker that’ll rattle the windows out of any building or vehicle you play it in.

He’s taken dubstep right back to its early roots, reminiscent of early Circus Records releases or something Rusko might’ve cooked up in his loft in 2013.

I think the videos on his socials of the title track doing damage in the clubs is all you need to see to know that this one needs to be played loud and with a sub.

The A side is a heavy hitter, but the B side isn’t one to be messed with either. An equally wobbly, but slower and chuggier track that’ll have you stomping to the front-left speaker to rot your eardrums.

In Zero’s words - ‘Make Dubstep Wobbly Again’ - and he’s done just that.

Do we think this is the resurgence in that early 2010’s sound of dubstep? With the improvement of VST instruments such as Serum & Vital, those early sounds can be replicated with greater control and fresh ideas. Let me know via the submit form!
