PREMIERE: Shackleton - International Fires
A lot of the music emerging out of the ever-expanding, loosely affiliated umbrella genre dubstep is noted for its connections to hip-hop, jungle, and, of course, dub. But Shackleton's corner of this world is notable for its references to completely separate forms of music: Music from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, with subtle hints of jazz and classical. It may sound stuffy, but Shackleton's breed of bass music is incredibly deep and approachable: A blend of clanging percussion, microphone taps, blurred voices, and sustained bass notes. Shackleton's installation in the London club Fabric's excellent mix series is set to be released next week, and his mix features both new and previously released tracks. "International Fires" is one of the former, a spooky, yet groovy, textbook example of Shackleton's music.
