Dubstep & Grime
September: 10 dubstep & grime releases you need to hear this month
Swindle, The Bug, Kaido and more
Kaido 'X26/Lightyear' (Fent Plates)
More gorgeous, ambient and immersive music from the Fent Plates stable, with Kaido’s two-track single the latest to catch our ear. The rolling pressure and crunchy beats on ‘X26’, matched by blurred and distant vocal samples and hyper-emotive string melodies, pack enough weight for the club, too, while ‘Lightyear’ lands as a proper stunner. With a subtle, half-time dubstep lean, it weaves a series of cosmic intertwining melodies that fade in and out of focus like a beautiful mirage.
9/10
