Album: 2562 - Unbalance (2009)
Track: “Lost”
Buy: iTunes // Amazon

2562 is Dave Huismans, dubstep/techno maker from the Netherlands. The man has been steady releasing quality goods on the Tectonic label since 2007, including his 2007 full-length debut Aerial and this just released hour of goodness, Unbalanace.

I really dig the minimalist techno sounds that he manages to push into dubsteppy-beat territory. “Like A Dream” sounds like something right from Detroit, but instead of bass/hi-hat eight notes, the beat shuffles underneath. The title track is a slow-builder that clocks in over seven-minutes, with keyboard wobbles and an ADD-riddled beat composition. You can see the knob-tweaking in the atmospheric “Love In Outer Space” that forms the base underneath some frenetic synth-lines and really neat hi-hat interplay.

All in all, a dope sophomore album from one badass Dutchman.
