Mystique has long been a powerful tool in garnering interest from the dance music media. I remember picking up the latest offerings from Dillinja back in the day excited by the fact that I didn’t know who he was or what he looked like. The same rule holds true today but evolution has brought us more potent strains of the condition with artists like XL’s SBTRKT and Zomby (pictured) holding down healthy DJ schedules behind public personas they have crafted with the use of masks and subterfuge. Thankfully, both artists work is genuinely innovative and more importantly, damn good so it would seem masks and good music are now synonymous with one another….although i’m not too sure about Zomby’s stylist – looks a little dark if you ask me.
Helter Skelter comes direct from Zomby’s forthcoming ‘One Foot Ahead Of The Other’ offering on Ramp Records.
BIG!
