**Limited white vinyl - Includes digital download code redeemable from the label** Two years since his debut LP, Martyn drops one of 2011's most anticipated dancefloor albums. With 'Ghost People' he cements well-nurtured ties to Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder camp, pooling his blend of UK Bass, US House & European Techno with the label's kaleidoscopic vision of electronic beat music, one which already spans the sounds of Lorn, The Gaslamp Killer, Teebs and Samiyam among others. Guided by a steady, experienced hand, Martyn refracts ideas borrowed and assimilated from every corner of the modern 'floor into a spectrum of helplessly futurist funk. Most notably, he's nudged the tempos down to a cooler groovin' 120-135bpm bracket, and what happens within this tempo zone is not far short of alchemy. From the top, Spaceape lends a sense of impending epicness to the synthscape intro 'Love And Machine', before 'Viper' sets up corrugated Techno riffs and metronomic hi-hats like a cosmically darkside D&B take on Zomby's Eski-dubs. The groove proper comes with 'Masks', a brooding Tech-House swinger with plump Reese bass and rippling Dub chords, next to the 2562-style rhythm mechanics and signature melodic progressions of 'Distortions'. At the album's apex, the sample-savvy breakbeat number 'Popguns' earns him countless future B-Boy points, while 'Ghost People' and the dippin' 'Twice As' will endear him no end with the sub-loving post-Dubstep/Funky masses. To close, we're taken further into Techno zones with the mighty, radioactive arpeggios of 'Bauplan' and the psychoactive Chicago stomp of 'Horror Vacui', before the tranced-glazed breakage of 'We Are You In The Future' leaves us floored and gurning for more.
