Boxcutter - Philly

Boxcutter makes the kind of weighty productions that share the broad appeal of Burial or Vex'd, while keeping one foot firmly planted in the more melodic, electro-centred margins of the genre. Packed with gritty bass, glitched-up beats and all manner of multi-layed furies, he first roused the dubstep community's appetite in 2005 with 12"s on Hotflush and Planet Mu, as well as a debut LP that is due to be followed up this winter. A true heavyweight of the scene, the incredibly inventive and original Boxcutter sound continues to defy expectations. For the latest Hotflush 12", Boxcutter delivers yet again two fantastic tracks from his array of sounds. On the A-side is 'Philly', a jazzier number with an syncopated assault of crisp drums, as featured on Hotflush's compilation CD 'Space and Time'. It is backed with 'Endothermic', a tune drifting more on the laid-back side, with dazzling warm synths and a deep bassline.
