Numan makes a step up to Planet Mu with four unique examples of his dubstep fusion sound. Raved up releases on Wicky Lindows and Slit Jockey cemented the 18 year olds status as one to watch, and now under the wing of u we can really see what's happening in his hard drive. The looped flute stabs of the title track bely his early Grime influences but soon morph into a cyber-sino road vibe more akin to Ikonika. 'Photograph' follows with a deep, swaying slice of 'lectronic soul music worthy of someone far beyond his years, before 'Voodoo' juxtaposes Juke-ish drum patterns with Balkan fiddle and grid surge subs. 'XX' caps a very impressive EP with a craftily sinuous Grime riddim nodding to Swindle or J Beatz.
