<Dubstep> Joker’s debut mainstream album is a version of the gentler, softer Dubstep we see appearing in more mainstream pop productions as many artists are toying with the genre. Slaughter House resembles an R&B infused Dubstep that could remind me of the kind of track that plays on a radio station’s top ten. Tron seems to get a little more into that dirty Dubstep feeling, with a lot less vocal and stands out as one of the best on the album. Milky Way gives that floaty synth air, while spinning the sound waves in your ear drums. Delicate, deep and entrancing in its effect on your consciousness and just when you thought it got too soft, it breaks all grimy, then back to being a luscious, beautiful track. I put it on repeat. The interlude on track six combines an old school disco sound with a Pop/R&B style used widely during the nineties, this gives the middle of the album a feeling of familiarity and a sense of being home. The second half takes on a slightly heavier set feel as though the beats have progressed to something a little more grown up and serious on the same disc. If you have been enjoying the Dubstep pumping out of 2011 and like some variation in the genre you will no doubt love this one.
