Deadbeat is one of the most influencial artists of modern
electronic dub with close relationship to the minimal techno scene on
one hand and the rising dubstep scene on the hand.
This is
Montreal-based Deadbeat aka Scott Monteith's fourth full-length release
on the ~scape label. Since the release of his previous outing, New
World Observer in April 2005, Monteith has spent the vast majority of
his time on the road, honing his skills as a master craftsman of genre
defying electronic dance music. Though fans of Monteith's previous
~scape full lengths might find it difficult to envision his music as
the soundtrack to a rollicking dance floor, Journeyman's Annual is the
first to showcase an updated version of the Deadbeat sound that has
quietly been overtaking his more meditative work over the last year
and-a-half. Easily his most diverse album to date, Journeyman's Annual
is a far reaching account of new creative connections and rhythmic
inspirations drawn from the four corners of the globe, and a
spectacular sign of things to come from one of electronic music's
premier low-end prophets.
