Dutch producer 2562 has carved himself a solid niche in the murky territory between DUBSTEP and TECHNO. Characterised by a POST-GARAGE skippiness, with rolling BASS and hyper-edited snares from broken beat, a sense of space and echo from DUB, along with a devastating 4x4 anchorage and attention to detail from TECHNO old & new. Lean, natural-sounding, dancefloor-wrecking hydrid that has found favour not only amongst DUBSTEP heads but anyone drawn to fresh and innovative club music.soundcloud.com/2562amadeupsound
