Deadlynoiz Turns Phone Recordings Into Dubstep on “Block”

Most producers have folders filled with samples, synthesizer presets, and recordings they’ve collected over the years, but there’s a good argument that some of the most interesting sounds start with material that wasn’t intended for music production in the first place. A phone recording, an improvised vocal noise, or something captured without a particular musical purpose can become an entirely different sound once it’s brought into a DAW and processed.

That’s the approach Deadlynoiz has taken with “Block,” his October release through EDMArmy Records.

The New York-based producer began creating parts of the track by recording random noises into his phone’s Voice Memos app, then transferring those recordings into his production software and manipulating them until they no longer resembled their original sources. The finished track combines that experimental approach with aggressive tearout dubstep, rap vocals, and hardstyle influences.

We’ve covered Deadlynoiz several times throughout 2026, mainly through his bass house work, including “Disco Weapon,” “What You Gonna Do,” and “Waiting.” Those releases have already established his interest in aggressive bass processing and increasingly unconventional production choices, but “Block” offers a particularly interesting example of how he’s developing his sound. Instead of relying exclusively on synthesizers or established sample libraries, he’s using his own recordings as the starting point for much of the material.

From Bass House to Tearout Dubstep

Deadlynoiz has maintained an active release schedule throughout 2026, moving between bass house, dubstep, and related styles. Earlier this year, we covered his single “Disco Weapon”, which concentrated on direct club energy, heavy low-frequency processing, and a relatively straightforward bass house arrangement.

His subsequent release “What You Gonna Do” continued that approach through a compact arrangement built around two aggressive drops. More recently, “Waiting” introduced a darker approach to sound design, placing greater emphasis on atmospheric elements and unconventional structural decisions. Those releases provide some background for understanding why Deadlynoiz has moved into more aggressive dubstep territory with “Block.”

His musical influences also explain some of that movement.

Deadlynoiz has cited artists including Skrillex, Martin Garrix, Kompany, and NGHTMRE, drawing from different areas of electronic music rather than concentrating on one production style. In September, he also released a dubstep remix of Martin Garrix and Seth Hills’ “Biochemical,” further extending his interest in heavier arrangements. “Block” continues that direction, though using original phone recordings gives it a different production starting point than a conventional remix.

Why the Production Process Is the Interesting Part

There’s an important distinction between making a heavy dubstep record and developing the actual sounds that give it its identity. Producers can achieve aggressive bass processing using established synthesizers and effects, but incorporating original recordings introduces another opportunity to create material that doesn’t begin with the same oscillators, presets, or sample libraries other artists are using.

“Block” was released through EDMArmy Records in October 2026 and is available through major digital music retailers. The release adds another example to Deadlynoiz’s growing bass catalog, following his recent work in bass house and experimental dubstep. For producers interested in sound design, the most relevant detail is how little the original source material needed to resemble the finished production. The recording process was straightforward, while the creative decisions happened when those sounds were brought into the DAW and transformed.
