Producer Spotlight: 2562

Category: , By brockolio


2562 (pronounced twenty-five sixty-two) has been putting out some of the most interesting electronic music in the past year. His tracks bring a nice change of pace to the Dubstep scene, which can sometimes be criticized for having a very generic, overly droning sound for some. Hailing from the Hague, Netherlands, 2562 wields warm sub basslines, lush percussion, sounds reminiscent of Detroit techno, and a broken-beat influence to his style that helps set himself apart from many of his fellow producers.

His most recent release 'Techno Dread/Enforcers" is out now on Pinch's Bristol-based Tectonic label and is easily in the running for best 12" of 2008 thus far. Techno Dread relies on beautiful, reverb heavy synth lines over an up and down roller-coaster of bass and percussion. The track goes back and forth between a minimal tech and dubstep vibe, at times surging into some pretty serious 4x4 territory before returning back to beatless synth echoes that swing you into the second drop.

These two tracks will be featured on his LP 'Aerial' also releasing on Tectonic at the end of the month and is now available for preorder (2xLP or CD) through Boomkat.com

You can find his most recent mix for Surgeon's Electronic Explorations radio show here.
