Record of The Week: 2562 'Aerial'

It was a close shave today. I could not have been hesitating between two styles more remote from each other. After listening again to the Australiana delivered by Pete Murray in the train this morning I was really tempted to pick it up as my record of the week. But how could I dismiss what could be one of the records of the year? Last week I picked Applebim’s 12” mentioning it was probably the biggest step in dubstep since Burial’s album but this week’s comes from 2562 first full length ‘Aerial’ which will revolutionise the movement from now on and is setting a new benchmark on how and where the style should progress. A truly and utterly essential purchase! Record of the day of the week of the month of the year.

Martyn "All I Have Is Memories / Suburbia" (Apple Pips)

After taking you slightly into the past with my previous musical choices, let me take you right into the future this time with an amazing 12”. It is the first release from Applebim’s new label called Apple Pips. You can check him out on his myspace page. Last year consecrated Burial in the Dubstep genre, this year could see this lovely plate from Martyn rise into fame with its hybrid music that can be called dubstep whilst taking it to a new level incorporating some sounds generally found in minimal house, techno and some incredible ethereal and deep layers mixed in. This record can be purchased from the usual suppliers of good beats: Piccadilly Records, Phonica, or Boomkat.
