2562 – Unbalanced

2562 follows on from his groundbreaking first LP ‘Aerial’, pushing both his creative talents and the boundaries of dubstep to another level. ‘Unbalance’ is an exceptional body of electronic music that fully demonstrates 2562′s adept ability to move through engaging soundscapes by means of pin-point precision drum programming and innovative sample regeneration.

2562, real name Dave Huismans, is named after the postcode in The Hague, Netherlands where he lives. A city detached from the main epicentres of dubstep, it brings a cultural distance and uniqueness to the project. Following the release of his two now classic 12″s – ‘Channel Two’/Circulate’ and ‘Kameleon/Channel One’ – ‘Aerial’ was released to critical acclaim, ending the year as the defining dubstep album of 2008.

‘Unbalance’ sees 2562′s vision of dubstep moving forward into previously unexplored areas. Warmer than its predecessor, innovation and experimentation is as evident as ever, as influences of Theo Parish and Flying Lotus meet with the deep end of Bristol bass music.

Tectonic label boss Pinch says: “I’ve worked closely with 2562 over the last few years and I can honestly say that ‘Unbalance’ is an incredible album – it’s one of the most exciting releases that Tectonic has seen to date – it vastly exceeds the already high standard he set himself with ‘Aerial’.”

With this new LP for Tectonic, 2562 breaks new ground – in moving away from the dub-techno associations of his earlier works, he creates a whole new world.
