Shed's Shedding the Past was released late last year to well-deserved critical acclaim-- it was a gorgeous hybrid of restless dubstep beats and warm, enveloping synths, of brutal four-four minimal techno and echoing, dubbed out atmosphere. In a word, it was the best record of last year. So what does Shed have to do with EQD? He's been pinned as the man behind the second in this series of "anonymous" singles, and it's hard to see anyone else but him in the music, both in sound and in quality. The A-side is solid but little more than a warm up for the magnificent B-side: a cold, celestial synth backs the buoyant blips and beeps that drive this track forward, which seem to move in and out of focus while building up to the tremendous, organic beat that makes this track so exceptional. A must-own!
