Nottingham-based producers Geiom & Shortstuff have packed a huge amount of innovation into this two-track single, their first for Planet Mu. Reminiscent of early Black Dog, "No Hand Signals" works dizzy Arabic synths into a melodic hyper-rhythmic dubstep workout with lots of detailed breakdowns and wormholes. It's a first for dubstep, which until now has never seen this degree of melody in a track this catchy. "Wardenclyffe" on the flip is clearly inspired by funky house's rhythmic inventions, and comes in at a slower BPM. A tense, squidgy synth melody unfolds over a tough soca-style beat that develops and stutters in reaction. These two tracks simply sound like no others, and are better for it.A No Hand Signals B Wardenclyffe
