JoeB has been out here killing it from day one, he’s so cracked

[@Nawtystep]

Do you have a favourite JoeB track?

[@ecli3690]

@@Nawtystepit’s really hard to choose but if I HAD to pick I’d probably say cackatones, since I waited ~3 years for it to get released. The sound design and flow is quite unique and it really stands out to me

[@v0idcaster]

@@Nawtystep either ici ca bz or his easy lover remix imo

[@MrQuang-ch5mv]

JoeB is the definition of cracked

[@Nawtystep]

I love how many people are using this word 😂

[@Bozonuts12]

7:35 my exact reaction 😭

[@Nawtystep]

We’re not so different, you and I 😎🤝

[@rahulk4482]

JoeB stands for quality over quantity

[@Nawtystep]

A good point that needs saying 🤝

[@hobabo9703]

toxic if swallowed will most definitely be in my favorites of 2024. That high drill sound mixed with the heavy ass bass is so insane

[@Nawtystep]

It’s sooooo good 🤤 really well done given how much is going on

[@TheGabrielPT]

10/10. Pure creativity with well done heaviness. What bass music should be about

[@Nawtystep]

Love this comment!

[@stereokuuji]

11:53 My exact reaction to the song Bro said I'm finished 😂 Fatal if inhaled is peak JoeB for me

[@Nawtystep]

It was a genuine mortal kombat ‘finish him’ moment I was floored 😂

[@NICXIDE]

Can't believe that I like EVERY SINGLE track of this man, he just??? idk dude how tf he does it but he delivers every single time, singles, eps, bootleg and remixes, fatal if inhaled is dangerous stuff, cant believe its 4/4 tbh

[@Nawtystep]

It’s very rare that happens isn’t it? Think every track of his hits in some significant way, even if some tunes are markedly better than others

[@YesTheyAreUnderrated]

Bro ain't wrong on thinking this shit's crazy, I almost fell off my chair with 'toxic if swallowed', best one on the EP

[@raincastmusic]

I agree One of the craziest and best songs ive heard in a while

[@Nawtystep]

Seeing the track titles typed out makes me realise that’s a great part of the EP too 😄

[@frasermcnally4483]

Fatal if inhaled is melting my brain there is NO CHANCE that's 4/4. I'm hearing 9/8 but I'd love someone who can count better to correct me. Such an exciting tune I wish more bass music did this

[@badnarrator62]

it is 4/4! it's just on an absurdly low tempo for dubstep

[@frasermcnally4483]

​@badnarrator62 oh you're totally right! The rythmn of the drop just had me tripping balls

[@dubzy4485]

listen to the Mental Kill EP by Underbelly, it’s filled with cool time signature changes

[@dubzy4485]

also it thinkkk most of it is in 4/4 but the rhythms are rly rly wonky

[@Veepot]

JoeB goated

[@Nawtystep]

Veepottttt ✨

[@rohangoyal613]

You fookin want it? you definitely fookin got it

[@Nawtystep]

I really did 😂 such a good way of warning you what’s to come with that opening vocal sample

[@luismorales4401]

Man I can’t stop seeing your reaction to Hazardous Statement from JoeB Especially the 3rd song I felt bad you almost left.😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@collage_zzz]

JoeB becoming one of my favorite artist ong

[@Nawtystep]

Do you have a favourite from him?

[@collage_zzz]

@@Nawtystep cackatones from his other EP is so good, that whole ep is 🔥

[@Th_exclamation_mark_s_Guy]

This EP is one of the reasons why JoeB is one of the best artists to ever exist

[@Nawtystep]

Very high praise there!

[@kitsvne_writeups]

Absolutely mad EP, best of the year so far for sure

[@Nawtystep]

Guy did indeed drop a madness here 🔥

[@kitsvne_writeups]

@@Nawtystep oh absolutely

[@PianoScoreVids]

"How does he do it, fuck"

[@Nawtystep]

Indeed 😅 most of it left me baffled

[@crim-jim6814]

7:36 The most genuine get out from Connor, JoeB has some bad manners. 😭😭

[@AwarSurrect]

He got so much better in his production and ideas that he created a class of his own

[@Nawtystep]

That goes into an interesting point - do you think he in a way has created his own genre? 🤔

[@AwarSurrect]

@@Nawtystep another genre? I don't think so, it still has the form of dubstep but it sounds so different to what dubstep used to be and at the same time it sounds nothing like the rest of the current scene. Production wise he is definitely one of the best. Its like if you would take some extravagant structure of idm basses and steer them into more organised heavy/dubstep focus.

[@thegrandyata]

This fuckin slapped lmao

[@Nawtystep]

Favourite track of the 4?

[@Pyroific]

each song is amazing i love joeb

[@Trazziiee]

*Dear bloody god.* I have been an absolute sucker for anything abstract, things that steer into left-field lane and refresh the palette... I could only describe this EP as absolute ghastliness, clamouring throughout the industrial landscape in the most shameless manner possible. Everything about _Hazard Statements_ is what I have been yearning for the most in Dubstep currently - a refreshing and unparalleled creative direction. Yes, it may not be for anyone despite the EP's contorted and unconventional elements. But, for me, it left me in sheer awe.

[@Nawtystep]

I fucking LOVE comments like this, some top description and imagery here with what you’ve written. Live for that. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it so much!

[@Trazziiee]

@@Nawtystep Thank you! Writing introspective descriptions and imageries has been a bit habit of mine (for some years now), hahaha.

[@nineseven7528]

FINALLY! I’ve been waiting

[@Nawtystep]

Had to schedule it out properly after the Mellodeath vid ✨

[@nineseven7528]

@@Nawtystep was waiting to hear what you think about the last tune hehe

[@Bozonuts12]

This EP was absolutely FUCKING AWSSOME

[@DJOverturned]

Your thumbnails are really cool they give me a comic vibe

[@Nawtystep]

That’s the intention! Gives it a bit of energy and colour before viewing the actual vid. Thinking about finding a more comic book kinda font, if you know of any good ones let me know!

[@DJOverturned]

@@Nawtystep Janda Manatee and Adventure are some comic-y fonts I use in Photoshop

[@NICXIDE]

Btw would love a review of this EP, like and "in depth" type video

[@Nawtystep]

That kind of video will be on the Patreon from now! Reaction stuff on here, normal reviews and anything else not using music on there. Loads on offer, so if you like what I do consider signing up :) link in description ✨

[@Nawtystep]

With some fantastic comments from your good self as per 📝

[@mr.fufucudlypoops8207]

Fatal if inhaled just made me think "polyriddim and its consequences" and i fucking love it. I love this style from the last few years of great dubstep producers seeing just how many rules they can break while still making a great song. Ironically, it's often much heavier than simple quarter note briddim, which this style seem to be in very deliberate contrast to.

[@RandiOW]

Fatal if inhaled is insane

[@busapeti]

LETS GOOOO
