Warp’s latest is something of a find, a 23-year-old Detroit native on a mission to breath new life into the sounds of Motor City. So while the reference points are apparent – D.May-esque percussion and washing machine basslines – Edgar’s willingness to blend old with the new (glitch-hop, Timbaland-inspired r’n’b beats, laptop electronica and digital dub) has resulted in a pristine and damn near perfect future/retro update (Magic Juan would no doubt approve).
