Bogtrotter “Meltdown”
I was not familiar with Minneapolis artist Bogtotter before I got an email with his new song “Meltdown,” and I was also surprised to read he was a “fixture of the Twin Cities Dubstep Scene.” Color me naive, but I didn’t realize we even had a dubstep scene here, let alone one that had fixtures. Anyways, the track, released by Student Run Records (another new thing to me…maybe I’m out of touch), is a warped, funky, jittery ride that barrels along in its dark cocoon, enveloping the listener with its deep bass and spastic twitches. I wouldn’t call myself a dubstep expert by any stretch (unless owning and really liking Untrue counts), but this seems pretty cool and provides another extension to our scenes already impressive catalog of genres bands are willing to tackle.
