Bleep

Having been a central pillar of the associates at Osiris Music for some time, this debut LP from Killawatt is a hypnotic manifestation of his bass-laden exploratory electronica. Riddled with both sharp and aggressive samples as well as deeply driving beat patterns, the record flitters between the abrasive and the accessible while spanning the tropes of dubstep, techno and other mutations of UK club music. Highlights of the LP include the muffled breakbeat of Schakk and the swollen dubstep of Pressgang. For all its nods to club sounds of years gone by, there’s something decidedly experimental and futuristic about Émigré- an album in its own lane.
