(Electronic, Grime, Dubstep, Eskibeat, UK Bass) Zomby - Mercury’s Rainbow - 2017, MP3, 320 kbps

Zomby is an electronic artist who began releasing music in 2007. He has released music on several labels, including Hyperdub, Werk Discs and 4AD labels. Zomby's influences are wide ranging, including that of jungle music and Wiley's eskibeat sound.

The London producer Zomby may have one eye trained firmly on the future, but he has never been one to neglect the past. His 2008 debut album, Where Were U In ’92?, was one of rave revivalism’s first major statements. Mercury’s Rainbow, an album recorded “over an intense couple of weeks” somewhere around the release of his debut (but only now seeing the light of day), finds Zomby revisiting another of his musical touchstones: the glacial eskibeat sound that Wiley pioneered in the early 2000s on tracks like “Eskimo,” “Ice Rink,” and “Ground Zero,” which drained UK garage of all its warmth, replacing heat with minimal synth melodies, corporeal bass, and sparse percussive touches.
