ULTRAGORE #008: HELICOPTER SHOWDOWN—THE WRESTLER EP
The San Francisco Bay has been traditionally known as a hotbed of underground sounds by those
fortunate enough to know where to look. For a time, the East Bay hyphy movement had kids
from Santa Rosa to Salinas ghost ridin’ the whip, and for years the underground warehouses
and speak-easys of The City have been owned by the warm thump of quality house music.
More recently though, dubstep has been creating a foothold on the Golden Gate, with a slew of
emerging artists carving out a space in the underground music scene both locally and nationally.
New kid on the block to SFO bass music, Helicopter Showdown is set to take the dubstep world
by storm with their blistering production style and heavy sound. Comprised of area producers
Blake Powers, Joshua Small, Devan Day, Ryan Wade, the foursome has their eyes set on bass
music domination with their tracks getting support from BARE, Mark Instinct, Vaski, JOGO,
Liquid Stranger, and Point.blank.
On their debut EP, The Wrestler, the foursome releases their night terrors inducing sound on the
world with a fearsome five-pack not for the faint of heart.
On the title track, The Showdown joins Sluggo for a big slice of epic rave tear-out, sure to keep
heads high and hands up. With Life On The Edge, HS takes things up a notch with a plodding
stepper heavy on the murder bass low end.
Digital blood-lust takes center stage on The Terror, as a slew of arpeggiated wind-ups and
slow-downs keep ‘em guessing. Belgian duo Point.blank take remix duties on The Terror
(Point.blank Remix) with murderous results, and to round out the EP, HS throws an audio curve
ball on Push Forward. Blending serene ambience and a squelching low end, they create what is
easily the most diverse track on the EP.
Heavy on bass with a style all their own, Helicopter Showdown show and prove with The
Wrestler EP.
