Heads High

Chinua Achebe was right. Things Fall Apart….or at the very least, divide and evolve. Take Dubstep. Once used to denote a specific crossbreed of steroid-pumped dub and skunked out two-step, the term now shelters a clutch of vaguely related forms ranging from the technoid to the unashamedly dubwise . When I first heard the sounds of 2562 aka Dave Huismans and his alter ego A Made Up Sound, I was excited. he’d managed to carve out his own niche, and by the time his debut Aerial LP dropped he’d built up a long list of accolades and received perhaps the greatest compliment – imitators.

One and a half years later and it’s that time again. November 2nd will see the release of his second collection Unbalance. With more than a hint of the detroit disposition of his A Made Up Sound alias, Unbalance promises to be everything you’d expect and quite possibly, a little bit more. We’ll leave the last word to Tectonic head honcho Pinch

‘I’ve worked closely with 2562 over the last few years and I can honestly say that Unbalance is an incredible album – it’s one of the most exciting releases that Tectonic has seen to date – it vastly exceeds the already high standard he set himself with Aerial’

Nice….
