Mary Droppinz channels the chaos of Fortnite into something physical, filthy, and undeniably filthy in her new single, “Drop In.”
A sub-heavy salute to the iconic game, “Drop In” succeeds where many crossover attempts fail, speaking authentically to both gaming enthusiasts and bass music aficionados without pandering to either. The result is both accessible and uncompromising, precisely what makes Droppinz one to watch.
Out now under Zeds Dead’s Deadbeats banner, “Drop In” is a nasty, expertly carved slab of deep dubstep that doubles as a nod to gamer culture. What elevates the track beyond mere gamer fan service, however, is her DIY approach to sound design. Droppinz, a producer’s producer, melds Apache drum loops and Think breaks to create a rhythmic backbone and even samples the pang of her own glass water bottle.
The track’s highlight is its wonky bassline, which provides the gravitational pull around which Droppinz’s vocals and samples orbit. Her own vocals purr the titular command, but it’s the drop’s woozy low end that brings it into banger territory, wobbling like heat off asphalt.
