After finally getting around to listening to the Dead Language release by Mesck from the Chestplate imprint, I’m rather upset that I hadn’t busted it out until now. This release has all the ingredients you love about dubstep; strangely syncopated rhythms, dark samples, deep bass and swirling percussion effects. To put it bluntly, it’s great. If I had to pick a favorite track from the E.P., I would go with the Dead Language. It has the pace of an 11 PM tune, with the depth of a 3:30 AM psychedelic header. The L.A. based artist’s tunes sit nicely on Chestplate, the legendary imprint created and curated by one of electronic music’s finest tastemakers, Distance. This E.P. a short journey into a strange world that I’m happy to enter… with the right sonic tour guide… and Mesck is just the one to lead the way.
