Dubstep goes Detroit

We Say...
Taking his artist alias from his zip code in The Hague, Dave Huismans may be nodding to the localism that famously has given London grime and dubstep their distinctive qualities, but there's nothing parochial about the music itself. In addition to classic Jamaican dub reggae and the musky, dusky music of his English contemporaries — dubsteppers like Skream, Shackleton and Pinch — 2562's debut album also draws upon the rich chords of Detroit techno and the echo-soaked expansiveness of Berlin's Basic Channel crew. "Kameleon" might be a self-deprecating admission of his mutability, as it manages to synthesize virtually all of those sensibilities into a lithe, mercurial form. The hiss-infused "Greyscale," true to its name, recalls Burial's murky uncertainties, and there's a touch of Deadbeat's post-digidub in mellow numbers like "Redux" and "Moog Dub." But Huisman has a sound of his own, as is evident from tracks like "Morvern" and "Channel Two," which drizzle melting keyboards over driving, knife-sharp percussion and staggering sub-bass. "Techno Dread" is even heavier: a heaving low-end tosses chords and haphazard production sky-high, letting the pieces fall where they may. And the closing "The Times" might just be the slowest, emptiest dubstep cut yet released.
