Fleeing further

As promised, more of the irresistible Music for Our Future giveaway compilation - from Lusine's intricate pinging poptronica to Willits & Sakamoto's stately, shuddering unfurling via staging points as diverse as King Midas Sound's sonorous future-dub, White Rainbow's accreting analogue haze & Untold's clicky warps...

King Midas Sound's Waiting For You is one of the albums of the year, clearly. Smearing woozy ethereality over a dubstep with the emphasis on dub is unanticipated - & often mesmerising.

Its accumulating intensity is highlighted in the spacey, chiming Too Long, featured alongside an illuminating interview with The FADER earlier this week.

All of KMS's earlier Dub Heavy - Heats & Ghosts EP - which includes the, ironically, original Too Long Dub - & their Surround Me track from the outstanding first Box of Dub compilation can be heard in this Spotify playlist, by the way. No surprise that the new version & the dub mix together beautifully (hear them together via SoundCloud below)...& whichever of the countless original Troddings that seems to be cited in Too Long ought to fit too.

Shuffle & shimmer

Mesmerising shuffle & shimmer in a subtle, distinct take on dubstep (Japstep?): quarta330's ASUTATA50 (from MO'ZX EP, Maltine)

Thanks to the ultra-prolific & sharp-eared Sonic Router for the tip. 

Past quarta releases/remixes: this & this (both Hyperdub).

Time Patrol - Kode9

Cavernous depths

Kode9's cavernous, stuttering/shimmering Konfusion is the deepest new dubstep I've heard this year - particularly the supremely measured vocal version. Can't share it here, but listen to these samples (or Bleep's or Boomkat's).

Meanwhile, enjoy the clonking earlier remix of Burial's Distant Lights (from Distant Lights EP). & here's Sine of the Dub (from Sine of the Dub) & Bodies (from Memories of the Future).

Bonus: Burial's original South London Boroughs (from South London Boroughs EP).

NB: all tracks on Hyperdub.

Step on the night bus

Last week saw the release of the second album by reclusive dubstep producer Burial. The addition of vocals to the tracks on new album Untrue lends a yearning quality to the minimalist dubstep beat that makes this one of the releases of the year so far. Listen to this short ambient piece from the first album evoking the comforting bleakness of a rainswept street and aptly entitled Night Bus.
