What their label says...

Martyn's 3024 mission continues with further explorations on the boundaries of dubstep and techno, with two new tracks supported by DJs right across the dance music spectrum. If intergalactic robots discovered UK Garage and decided to have a go at making their own version in 30th century style, ‘Natural Selection’ may well be close to their output, with vocals that open a vein of soul over lush Detroit electro grooves reminiscent of Aux88 and Juan Atkins. ‘Vancouver’ finds sees Martyn at a much darker point in time. Bleak, twisted stabs progress menacingly throughout the track, carried by a sunken, swollen bassline. Yet, it is the shards of jazz keys and broken samples of a joke half heard and misunderstood that adds extra depth to the eerie ambience. "Martyn is dealing with dubstep's groove deficiency with some of the slinkiest, lushest productions around.” - Kode9.
