Implosion unites British bass explorer The Bug (Kevin Martin) and German dub experimentalist Ghost Dubs aka Jah Schulz (Michael Fiedler) for a split release on Martin’s PRESSURE label. It’s a record built on extremes—minimal yet crushing, stark yet hypnotic—designed to envelop listeners in sheer low-end force.

Martin delivers some of his most stripped-back and atmospheric work since his Kevin Richard Martin recordings, while Fiedler pushes his Ghost Dubs project into its heaviest territory to date. Tracks move between haunting ambience, subterranean bass pressure, and meditative repetition, with echoes of dub techno, sound system culture, and even doom metal.

Mastered by Stefan Betke (aka Pole), the album is punishing yet controlled, heavy without distortion, and always focused on tone and texture. Drawing on influences from Roots Radics to Adrian Sherwood, Implosion stands as a monumental, uncompromising dub statement that redefines HEAVY.
