Mount Kimbie are on paper a dubstep duo from London, but their sound is far from the 'wobble-fest' most people have come to expect from the new darlingof the mainstream.Off their deubt album 'Crooks & Lovers', 'Carbonated' is a bubblingly fresh song that takes its inspiration from the roots of dubstep, a sound now being forced to the fringes of dubstep's varied spectrum.
The track itself is a sumptuous piece of minimalist music. With elements of deep house, tech house, minimal, dub as well as dubstep (of course), the track manipulates each component to create a flowing song which transports the listener's mind to another planet for four minutes and twenty seconds.
A lavish buildup of 80's electro flicks and blips are then hit with an understated but none-the-less effective low sub bassline. the entrance of the chords only enhance the euphoric aura. It's at 02.22 that Carbonated takes the leap from good track to great track. Chopped up vocals (from a sample that sounds suspicously similar to Beyonce) are neatly interwoven to an already established beat. For the final two minutes, the track is as close to musical perfection as the album gets, and boy does it get close with Carbonated.
A stunning song from a stunning album, well worth an investment for any fan of dubstep/house music, to be honest - it's a good investment for anyone who likes music!
