33 Below Returns Swinging With New “Mash Up”

33 Below Returns Swinging With New “Mash Up”

After nearly a year of radio silence, 33 Below crashes back into the scene with “Mash Up“, a track that kicks it clean off its hinges. The New Zealand-born producer, who’s made a name for himself by blending the subterranean pulse of underground bass with a glossy, genre-defiant sound, has returned, and he’s not playing nice.

“Mash Up” is exactly what its title suggests: a chaotic, combustible collision of styles, sounds, and swagger. But this isn’t some stitched-together Frankenstein of electronic music tropes. It’s a precision weapon, meticulously engineered to devastate dancefloors and slap headphones with seismic force.

The track opens with skittering percussive patterns that tease tension before plunging into a grimy undercurrent of low-end filth. It’s a sonic free fall that lands squarely in the darker corners of UKG, with just enough grime grit to make it feel like it was smuggled out of a West London warehouse at 3 a.m.

Enter Scrufizzer—a veteran of the grime scene whose vocal delivery is as rapid-fire and relentless as ever. His flow is the accelerant to 33 Below’s flame, igniting the track into something that feels both anthemic and unpredictable. It’s not often that a feature feels essential rather than ornamental, but Scrufizzer commands the beats.

And that’s what makes “Mash Up” so refreshing. While many producers flirt with genre boundaries in ways that feel calculated or sanitized, 33 Below bulldozes them. This is the sound of an artist who isn’t asking for permission anymore—he’s taking the wheel and burning rubber across genre lines.
