I may have written about James Blake, or perhaps his collaborative project Mt. Kimbie, but it is finally clear that the post-dubstep landscape has unexpectedly found a heart-throb poster-boy. James Blake is somewhat of a digital minimalist composer D’angelo. What sets him apart from so many producers in the scene is that he is cute, soulful, emotive and like 22, rather than just futuristically polyrhythmic. He is the brightest in a batch of child prodigy producers along with Jamie XX, Joy Orbison, and to a lesser extent The Fantastic Mr. Fox (I just can’t get into him). This scene is not exactly brand new in the era of internet 15 minute fameitude , but it is still fresh-faced, young and progressing rapidly. It’s probably only a matter of time before Britney Spears has a bunch of clattery percussion and side chained organ.
