At the moment, the genre that gets savvy media types and scene kids all whipped up in excitement is the electronic offshoot known as dubstep.
Made popular to the commercial masses since Burial gained himself a Mercury music prize, this brand of lazy sounding music has continued to grow in terms of producers and fanbase.
With the good comes the bad and annoyingly, comes the utter gash. Sifting through the offerings, Mount Kimbie are a break from the releases we?d rather use as CD coasters.
Instead of presenting a bass heavy melody and shoving it through the wobble effect filter on fruity loops, the duo create elements of songs that could be released on their own before weaving extra elements in.
Added touches of synth or extra drum kick with a dash of vocal makes the listen that little bit better. Mount Kimbie are ones that you will hear about, it just might take a while before they get picked up.
