ever-changing and ever progressing: over the course of a few years, 2methyl (formerly known as 2methylbulbe1ol) has become something of a well kept secret. with only a few records (including one on peace offs ruff label shared with niveau zero and one featuring a remix by hecq), he has developed an intricate, intense and particularly sharp sound, somewhere at the meeting points of genres. orb is his long awaited first adventure into drumnbass. the tempo has become faster, the sound a bit more stripped, and the focus has greately gained in precision and drive. and still, 2methyl knows better than repeat and copy. orb is a very intricate work: clear, heavy, sharp and adding this musicians experience and experiments to beats which are sure to pack the dancefloor. an ep for the feet as much as for the brain from an artist to watch extremely closely.
