Bleep

Another month another example of new directions dubstep music could go in, as Darkstar drops two tracks for hyperdub that sound totally fresh. 'Squeeze my lime' combines vocoder a bit 8 bit bassline and a cute melody, it's completely minimal with hardly any drums, which is a rare and brave step in dubstep. There are elements of r and b and Flying Lotus like electronic hip hop in there too, giving the track a nice dayglo groove. More propulsive but equally exciting is the b side 'need you', with it's 8 bit chords and vocoder sound like dubstep stripped to its bare bones.
