BUKEZ FINEZT  –  HOMEWORK / 22DUBS

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We have come to expect that Bukez Finezt will offer up neck snapping harsh snares coupled with stomach rumbling bass lines and he continues in the same vein here.  In fact, the Berlin producer leaves you in awe of his ability to hit hard but also bring multiple layers of change and story to his productions.  Homework continually grabs the ears attention whilst bolstering feel for the body.  And the flip, 22Dubs shows why Bukez is considered one of the Finezt in the grime scene.  Check this out on Next Level Dubstep  Listen / Buy[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]
