Son Raw is basking in the afterglow of Mala’s live set last night at Igloofest.
Soundcloud snippets don’t usually warrant posts around here but Addison Groove’s upcoming release on Modeselektor’s 50 Weapons label isn’t your usual release. As one of the few producers working in England equally adept at deep, sci-fi influenced Dubstep as he is at frantic, dirty Footwork, Antony Williams’s latest album (and first under the Addison Groove moniker) could very well be my most anticipated record with a release date and a rare potential consensus builder amidst increasingly fragmenting scenes. All bases are covered: wobbling bass? Check. House rhythms? Check. Chopped up vocal samples? Double check. Ridiculous synthesizer break down? Against all odds…check. There might not be enough here to sink your teeth into, but this definitely wets our appetites. Also included above: half-step banger Clone released last month under the Headhunter name, a tune guaranteed to soundtrack the forthcoming cyborg apocalypse.
