Kryptic Minds - One of Us
(2009 / Swamp 81)
dubtep / darkstep
Loefah's Swamp 81 imprint gives birth to a darkside mutant in the form of Kryptic Minds' debut full length dubstep album. A favourite of Martin "Blackdown" Clark and obviously Loefah-most-high, Kryptic Minds are probably the most successful and respected of the barrage of D'n'B refugees to enter the Dubstep camp. They've succinctly adopted the Bass swollen halfstep swagger that Loefah pioneered with a string of seminal releases a few years back, but added a precision engineered darkside vibe more commonly associated with their other genre. The results are impressively slick, possibly comparable to the Clubroot sound but shaped with the experienced touch of a true D'n'B technician, allowing for a warehouse-spacious sound with powerfully dynamic rhythms. 'Generation Dub' is considered dread science of the highest order, while 'Six Degrees' and 'Secure Lost' will easily impress any D-Bridge or Burial heads, heading straight for their night bus iPod playlists. Definitely one for all the edge-of-the-dancefloor, hoods-up skankers. Smart. (boomkat.com)
My Rating: 3,5/5
