STUDR009 Cotti Feat 2 Nice – Warrior Charge / Lost & Found – Studio Rockers
Hailing form Brixton, Cotti is an established Dj, Mc & Producer and is fast becoming one of dubsteps new breed of rising stars. With an already enviable repertoire of releases to his name including ‘Sensi Dub’, ‘Legacy’ & ‘I Donít Give A Dub’, 2009 sees him release his debut 12″ for Studio Rockers entitled ‘Warrior Charge’. For this track Cotti teams up with well respected reggae dancehall artist 2Nice who has worked alongside the likes of Ricky Ranking & Horseman as well as such producers as Curtis Lynch, Seani B and Mafia & Fluxy. ‘Warrior Charge’ sees Cotti conjur up another hook-laden anthem. The track kicks off with haunting strings rising over piano stabs & deep subs that combine subtly to draw you in. Stuttering hi-hats then ghost their way into the mix beneath the soaring reggae vocal before the sound flips with heavy synth stabs that signal the ‘Warrior Charge’ for 2Nice to take his flow in a fresh direction. Certain to make an impact both in the clubs and on the radio this future dubstep anthem truly provides something for everyone. On the flip is a striaght-up dancefloor killer in the guise of ‘Lost & Found’. Ominous horns combine with deep bass stabs & a churning synth line to create an edgy sound that grips you from the off and never really lets go. With the dubplate already doing some serious damage worldwide ‘Lost & Found’ will surely continue to devastate dancefloors for months to come.
Review:
It’s become fully apparent now that Cotti only makes lethal Sound System weapons, unfortunately those looking for jazzy interludes and trancing breakdowns will have to look elsewhere. Following from his quaking Soul Jazz drops of late ‘Warrior Charge’ for Studio Rockers is no less deadly or effective, featuring vocals from 2Nice over waves of mammoth subbass pressure bound to bowl weak knees over. ‘Lost & Found’ on the flip is a much scarier beast, with an electro-shocked dub-rave riddim haunted by freaky synthline poltergeists wreaking havoc in the dance. Big tracks!

Cotti feat 2nice – Warrior Charge (Studio Rockers) South Londoner Cotti is often at his best when working with vocalists. His Beanie Man bootleg ‘I Don’t Give a Damn’ is a classic, if not 100% legit, dubstep anthem. Here he teams up with known dancehall artist 2Nice for the vocal collaboration. ‘Warrior Charge’ delivers another meaty hook-laden tune that lilts and grots with equal measure. ‘Lost & Found’ comes sans 2nice and gets back to the roughneck bizzle.
