Dave Huismans' first EPs as 2562 were early indicators of a shift in dubstep that tangled up its half-speed cadences with techno's forward drive. Two years later, Unbalance consolidates and deepens his vision of bass music at the crossroads. It's not just an intersection of genres: mixing up slinky, skanking grooves with controlled bursts of carefully tuned percussion, and offsetting industrial clang with rich, Detroit-inspired synthesizers, Unbalance could commandeer any dance floor, but it doesn't limit its ambitions to the club. 2562 sticks to a handful of hallmarks — dry, fidgety drum machines; bright melodies needling out of a fog of fuzzy chords; bloated sub-bass whose girth doesn't impede its dexterity. But he manages to make something new of them with every track, from the bleepy, pining "Flashback" to the feverishly minimal "Like a Dream," to the 2-step-meets-techno-jazz-meets-kazoo of "Dinosaur." "Lost," "Unbalance" and "Superfight" follow a spelunker's path to a wellspring of ambivalent emotions — tense, yearning, frenetic —l while the slow-mo meltdown of "Who Are You Fooling?" suggests a new direction in Huisman's rhythmic explorations.
