Redlight “Metronome”

If there’s any guy who has seriously flown under the radar here in the US, it’s Redlight. He was way ahead of the bassline frenzy with tracks like “Stupid” and “Source 16”; he then shifted gears slightly and cranked out monsters in “9TS” and “Gold Teeth.” His debut album X Colour is due this fall, and it should hopefully see him make the almighty crossover into Gorgon City/Disclosure territory. Hopefully.

If you think I’m blowing smoke, then I’ll let “Metronome” do the talking. Roses Gabor gets things moving with a naughty delivery before Redlight’s tuned 808s drop into the mix like an atom bomb. It’s clear his foundation was molded from the ‘90s UK D&B scene, but it’s his ability to look into the future and create something entirely fresh and individual that’s exciting.

I also have to throw in a sneaky plug for our Metronome mix series, so you can go get lost in the archives after you give this track a few more spins.
