Becoming Real is a young producer based in the suburbs of nowhere, channeling his very own post-apocalyptic vision of London. A haunted and haunting spectre, his self-termed Ghost-Step soundscapes are as much influenced by a conceptual future dystopia as they are by luminaries Zomby & Mount Eerie.
Re-imagining the iciest of grime synths through a warped K Records aesthetic, Becoming Real has forged a cryogenically frozen sound that forever thaws but never fully melts, whilst still retaining an unequivocally human touch. This is music for seas drowned in oil, tar-coated forest landscapes, and a forgotten world of underwater clubs and haunted dancefloors.
"Tracy Chapman" is one of the most special and personal songs you will listen to in 2010. A shapeshifting mixture of Dubstep, Soul and Electronic Psychodelia, it will take you constantly by surprise with every change in tempo and structure in a composition that is as luminous as it is dramatic.
"The Thing" on the flip is Bay Area Hyphy jammed into an industrial grade blender, a headbanger destined for a grime rave in a psychiatric ward, psychotic crunk... as hard to describe as Becoming Real himself. |
