The Paris-based producer makes his debut on Bassrush with South London emcee Big Jest.
Paris-based producer IVORY has been behind some of the most destructive sounds in dubstep, boasting a catalog that includes boundary-breaking riddim, trench, and tearout that spans the last decade. Making his debut on Bassrush comes the gritty grime-meets-riddim anthem, “Trenches,” alongside esteemed South London emcee Big Jest.
“Trenches” lives up to its name, calling in the heavy artillery for a battle-ready banger that fuses the best from both artists. Haunting vocal bends lay the foundation that bleeds through like a haunting war cry. Big Jest controls the track with a militant delivery, tactical bars, and lethal thematic wordplay. Icy synths and drill-inspired 808 slides add to the grime-leaning intro before stray gunshot samples and commanding percussion shift the scene. Ivory brings in the rail-riding cavalry with a diabolic riddim onslaught. Metallic sounds enhance the laser leads, glitchy textures, destructive drums, and soul-shaking low-end. A vocal-driven break resets the scene and brings back the anthemic appeal before the epic climax of dubstep destruction. This one is a festival weapon of the highest grade.
Expressing his excitement for the release, IVORY says, “Big Jest and I teamed up for what's probably my heaviest song to date! His voice is incredible on this track; he really brought my vision to life. Can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”
Hailing from Paris, France, IVORY is a certified veteran in the scene with a career stretching over a decade across dubstep, riddim, drum & bass, and breaks. His impressive career showcases collaborations alongside Shaquille O’Neal, NITTI, Dirtyphonics, Bear Grillz, Kompany, SampliFire, plus remixes for Gryffin, SLANDER, Wooli, Kayzo, Herobust, Space Laces, and Spag Heddy.
