B - Other People
A two tracker of freshness from Boxcutter, aka Barry Lynn, a questing producer who was taking stylistic chances and constantly mutating his dubstep-based music, long before anyone thought it was time to start discussing 'post-dubstep'. This single precedes his new album "The Dissolve", due out in April, and pretty much throws all previous Boxcutter records, sounds and styles out the window. "Allele" builds from echoey drums into a tight juke-influenced drum pattern with lots of tight edits, before adding a vocal that hints at old school hardcore, wavering chords and drops, before the whole thing finally resolves into a restrained but ravey breakbeat. "Other People" simply but effectively mixes hazy, live sounding 2-step drums with a lush bitter-sweet melody reminiscent of the Drexciya offshoot TheOtherPeoplePlace, which glides subtly through a background of shimmering effects and delays.
