Today, one of Hyperdub‘s yungest, brightest talents steps up with a highly accomplished debut album weaving between house, garage and grime with a lean R&B swerve. Walton has just released his debut LP titled Beyond as HDBCD017, and is a maturation of his steadily distinguished sound, defined by a full-rounded feel for engaging arrangement and effervescent production, cohesively switching style and pattern and showing a canny knack for hooky sample placement. Across 13 tracks he strides from digitally-dusted US garage hinting at Chez Damier or Todd Edwards on Need To Feel, to more rugged UK styles with the acid-chewed flex of Help Me Out. The skeletal bounce and nagging rave licks of Memories or the Zomby-esque Frisbee, through to footwork-aware percolations in the glossy midnight black of Can’t U See or the future soul burner Love On The Dancefloor. Highly recommended!
