The Sub Swara collective tossesa monthly party at Love, a club that boasts perhaps the clearest sound system in the city. That might account for the crew’s obsession with detail; Coup d’Yah is a sonically crystalline collection, with every drum hit sharp as a knife and each bassline deep as a canyon. But the real appeal of the album lies in the way it melds its dancehalland dubstep inclinations with Middle Eastern melodies, subcontinental percussion and ragga-style toasting into a spare, dark stew, with its precise arrangements keeping the focus on the funk.
