Dropping rather later than planned is the latest major waxing from man of the moment, Jeff Orbison. His sultry take on airy house-tinged dubstep is a rather refreshing concoction. I like the soulful vocal snippets, all woven beautifully into the standout track: 'The Shrew Would Have Cushioned The Blow'. Its definitely a total propulsive mood setter with gorgeous fluttering synths, a beautifully paced rhythm track & all his palette of sounds & sonic trickery on display. It fit nicely into the recent Scuba mix CD we all liked here & now fits firmly into my heart. The 'So Derobe' tune pumps up its low end, possesses a sharper beat and feels a bit more steppy & glitched. A different kind of silicone soul & certainly another floor shifter. The Actress remix of 'The Shrew..' gives off this bleepy Euro-tech sheen. It sounds like a minimal B-Pitch number with some classic Detroit references, the sporadic 4/4 all compressed & blunted, the whole arrangement pretty sparse & "Berlin" sounding! It's a fine version indeedSo Derobe
