"This is the new sound of laidback electronica and dubstep, where lounge meets the bass and reggae vocals fuse with a warm bass. All artfully served up by our new favourite producer right now, Brighton-based New Era Sounds.
So much dubstep is hard-up, grating and abrasive. This takes the elements of chillout that I love, intricate melodies and delicately positioned vocals. And fuses it with a nearly sexual bassline.
Watch out for his EP dropping later this year, and enjoy the tracks."

'He Who Be' starts as a twinkly piano affair with an underlying skanky break, before the bassy noise kicks in to tempt your body to jerk..or at the very least headnod to the track.
Its definitely a very Brighton based sound, think the DIY ethos and sound of the Tru Thoughts back catalogue (Quantic, Alice Russell et al) mixed with a bit of The Skatalites and you may come close. Either way, im liking it..a lot, but i'll leave you to form your own opinion.""
