Subtronics Drops Wild New Dubstep Single “Itchy Scratchy”

Subtronics Drops Wild New Dubstep Single “Itchy Scratchy”

Subtronics has once again proved he’s the king of turning internet chaos into pure bass magic. His latest single, “Itchy Scratchy,” is a full-on dubstep spectacle built around a viral video from creator Paige Ewald, who famously described her dream driving playlist as “wonky woo woo wubby music” with “wubs that sound wet.”

Rather than just nodding to the absurd request, Subtronics treats it as a mission statement. Every element Ewald called for—wet wubs, itchy-scratchy textures, spiraling riddim drops—makes an appearance, stitched together with his razor-sharp production. The result is a track that feels as much like a meme come to life as it does a carefully engineered bass weapon.

“Itchy Scratchy” follows a lineage of Subtronics’ internet-sampling anthems, including Sploinky Dub, Blastin, and Wicked Witch. But here, the humor is sharper, the sound design even more unhinged, and the pacing relentless. The bass snarls and glitches as if the song itself is caught mid-glitch in a late-night Twitch stream, while the drops hit with the kind of reckless precision only Subtronics can pull off.

It’s a reminder that dubstep’s most exciting moments often happen when producers don’t take themselves too seriously. The track lands as both a crowd-crushing festival weapon and a wink to the online communities that fuel so much of dance music’s weirdness.

With Itchy Scratchy, Subtronics isn’t just delivering another banger—he’s reinforcing his brand as EDM’s chief chaos alchemist, taking something ridiculous and turning it into something you can’t stop headbanging to.

You can stream Itchy Scratchy now on all major platforms, but fair warning: you might come out of it craving more “eer eer eer” in your life.
