Artist:	BOXCUTTER
Title:	Philly/Endothermic
Label:	HOTFLUSH (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	HF 018EP

"Boxcutter makes the kind of weighty productions that share the broad appeal of Burial or Vex'd, while keeping one foot firmly planted in the more melodic, electro-centered margins of the genre. Packed with gritty bass, glitched-up beats and all manner of multi-layered furies, he first roused the dubstep community's appetite in 2005 with 12"s on Hotflush and Planet Mu. A true heavyweight of the scene, the incredibly inventive and original Boxcutter sound continues to defy expectations. For the latest Hotflush 12", Boxcutter delivers yet again two fantastic tracks from his array of sounds. On the A-side is 'Philly,' a jazzier number with a syncopated assault of crisp drums, as featured on Hotflush's compilation CD Space and Time. It is backed with 'Endothermic,' a tune drifting more on the laid-back side, with dazzling warm synths and a deep bass line."

Title:	Tauhid
Label:	PLANET MU (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	ZIQ 146EP

"Guitarist and producer Barry Lynn (aka Boxcutter) became the talk of the dubstep scene in 2005 with the release of his astounding Brood/Sunshine single on London's taste-making dance label, Hot Flush. On his second release, Tauhid, Lynn continues to revolutionize the garage and breaks sound with a fresh mix of fractured breaks, Eastern inflections and a deep dub sensibility. The title track is a micro-symphony of writhing bass, FX-laden guitars and blurry half-step rhythms that quickly devolve into pure breakbeat abstraction. Other tracks, like 'Silver Birch Solstice,' harken back to the two-step garage craze of a few years ago. With heavy rotation from influential DJs like Ras Kwame, One World and Breezeblock, Boxcutter comes into 2006 as one of the hottest dance artists around."

Title:	Oneric
Label:	PLANET MU (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	ZIQ 147CD

"Northern Ireland's Barry Lynn burst upon the Dubstep scene in 2005, generating major hype with his Brood/Sunshine single on London's Hot Flush label. The CD edition of his new full-length, Oneric, features both single tracks plus ten new tracks while the DJ-friendly double-vinyl edition features a V.I.P. mix of 'Sunshine' and seven others. The Boxcutter sound is cosmic dubstep with guitar, flutes and twisting breaks. The melodies and production evoke prime mid-'90s electronica, but the bass attack is purely up to date."
