dBridge, Skream & Instra:mental join forces on Autonomic

April 12, 2010

The highly-anticipated Autonomic label launches with an essential release, available now on vinyl and digital formats from Boomkat

Like some stepper's wet dream, D-Bridge, Instra:mental and Skream initiate the Autonomic imprint with the monolithic 'Acacia Avenue' backed with 'Detroid'. All three characters are in deadly dread mode for the A-side, consciously crossing the lines between ultra-modern Dubstep, D'n'B and Dancehall with stunning efficiency. Stripping down to the essentials, they syncopate rasping snares and ninja-sly hi-hats with swaggering, near-infrasonic subs and a martian synthline to control bodies on the floor with pin-point precision. On 'Detroid' Instra:mental and D-Bridge go it alone, carving out a muscular tech-stepper with offset drum smacks and unruly bass sweeps for fluid robo-stepping motions. This is a truly deadly record, most likely one of the years finest in this field. Highly recommended!
