mp3: ALCHEMYST la secte
mp3: ALCHEMYST shaolin
more belgian dubstep for you, following last week’s grimelock post. like them, alchemyst began life as a drum n bass dj and cites vex’d, anti pop consortium and kool keith as departure points.
if you’re still fence-sitting on the dubstep genre, alchemyst might help to convince you. there’s much more at play here than in your usual dubstep output – tracks morph and fluctuate throughout and, as a result, it feels more organic, there’s more warmth. if there’s one criticism levelled at dubstep that holds true from time to time, it’s that it’s a little too cold and distant around the edges. alchemyst meets that critique head on, and offers something that feels somewhat more human.
