Caspa – Project X [Bassrush Records]

Caspa flips the switch on a new era of dubstep with ‘Project X,’ a five-track juggernaut arriving June 13 via Bassrush Records. A year in the making, ‘Project X’ is a fully collaborative effort, pairing the UK pioneer with a hand-selected crew of cutting-edge producers: PEEKABOO, Distinct Motive, Ternion Sound, EAZYBAKED, and MYTHM. Each track is built from the ground up in true creative partnership, fusing legacy with innovation and driven by a collective vision to push the genre forward.

On lead track “Gut Feeling,” Caspa and Detroit’s breakout phenom PEEKABOO deliver a haunting dubstep cut that draws power from minimalism and tension. Eerie vocal fragments and atmospheric dread give way to sharp rhythmic shifts and expertly dialed sub frequencies, showcasing both producers' ability to weaponize silence and space.

“Affinity," Caspa’s collaboration with Canadian producer Distinct Motive, opens on a deceptively serene note. It rolls out with shimmering synths and a slow-building bassline before plunging into heavyweight dubstep chaos, anchored by a monolithic wobble that snarls with vintage attitude. Switching between warped melodic motifs and hard-hitting rhythmic patterns, “Affinity” rides the line between hypnotic groove and controlled destruction.
