In 2021, REAPER & Josh Rubin combined to create “RUNAWAY,” a fan favorite track from his debut album. Now they’re back in force with a brand new Drum & Bass hit. “Monster” launches during an overwhelmingly successful year for both artists, and is sure to take the bass music community by storm.
“Monster” leads off with a moody atmosphere surrounding Josh Rubin’s soulful voice. It’s clear from the start that the songwriting plays a crucial role in the song, immediately putting his performance in the spotlight. The high octane production REAPER is known for makes an appearance early as well, driving the track to its heights. The drop comes in fast, still keeping room for Rubin’s exquisitely performed vocal. Within the cacophony of smashing drums and grinding basses, “Monster” finds its namesake; there are, however, numerous melodic elements swirling within the chaos. They offer the listener one more verse and a breakdown before bringing back the energy for a larger than life second drop. With these perfectly executed elements, “Monster” has something to offer for any fan of electronic music.
Both REAPER and Josh Rubin have been having an incredible year to date, showing why they are masters of their craft. With their numerous releases and performances, there’s no doubt that “Monster” will find its place to shine. The combination of ruthless bass and fervent vocals put this one in a league of its own. Whether you need a new road trip song, a work out soundtrack, or you just want another reason to see these artists live, “Monster” can fill that role.
