Two deep dubsten dons and masters of their craft, Wraz and Distinct Motive, just unleashed their new single, “Ricky.” Released on Zeds Dead‘s iconic label Deadbeats, the track is a filthy bass barrage that showcases the two producers’ expertise. These two artists have previously collaborated, gracing the bass music scene with dirty, deep beats on the tracks “SSN-21,” “Wallace,” and “Wallace VIP.” 

Today, the duo is back with another banger. “Ricky” grabs your attention quickly, and in the snap of a combined producer tag, it thrusts listeners into a sonic realm of dirty bass-face-inducing rhythm.

Wraz is a producer from Montreal known for his dark and dubious soundscapes. The DJ has been making waves recently, releasing numerous tracks and playing legendary shows at iconic festivals such as Shambhala, Lost Lands, Lightning in a Bottle, Infrasound Music Festival, and Sound Haven.

Wraz also has a weekly show on Twitch called ‘Gunfingaz Thursdays’ with Substance and a weekly special guest.

Distinct Motive, hailing from Toronto, is a bass artist who employs a minimal and dark production style. His projects, including “Ricky,” are jam-packed with wobbly wubs and headbanging energy. He pushes the boundary of dubstep, using simple yet filthy sound design to create a unique, deep bass feel that pays homage to early tracks of the genre. Distinct motive has collaborated with big-name producers like Ganja White Night and has garnered support from massive artists like Subtronics, Zeds Dead, Excision, Tape B, and Of The Trees. If you like low-end sound design with visceral energy, Distinct Motive is a can’t-miss artist. Make sure to check out his upcoming live dates under the embeds.

“Ricky” is a slapper of a track, adding another hit to both artists’ diamond-studded discographies.
