Kuedo - Dream Sequence

* Kuedo is the new name for Jamie Vex'd, one half of the duo Vex’d, one of the most legendary dubstep groups whose 2005 album "Degenerate" re-wrote the rulebook and was one of the founding documents in establishing the dubstep sound out of 2-step & UK garage, by bringing industrial, techstep, breaks and grime influences to the fore.

* Lead track 'Starfox' has a construction of rhythmically abstract beats giving the track a lurching bounce, while
synthesizers play a game of call and response amongst layers of abstract computer game noise, which barely conceal the lush melodies at the track's core.

* ‘Shutter Light Girl’ is a short track that rivals Burial’s beatless instrumentals for the ability to paint imaginary scenarios in a listener’s head. On the B-side, ‘Joy Construction’ takes stumbling drums, a sampled chord of female voice, tweaked synths and rolling bleeps through a see-sawing melody. Then the EP finishes with the charming ‘Glow’ which pits 2-step beats that sound like they are struggling through mud, against a spiky melodic bassline, marimba and airy female vocals.
