Trampa & Marauda – Ruckus

“Ruckus,” a collaboration between dubstep musician MARAUDA and DJ Trampa.

I’ve introduced a lot of tracks, from mellow to experimental, but this one is arguably the most hard-hitting, all-out banger of the bunch.

The strength of the beat and the aggressively forward-leaning synthesizer sound make for an irresistibly in-your-face production.

Combined with the male hype vocals, it achieves a pretty formidable level of aggressiveness.
