To some people, this is the album of the year waiting to happen. Breaking out the new dawn of the Dubstep genre. Unleashing the fat beats onto the commercial public over the last few weeks Magnetic Man have done very well with their single releases – as has Katy B coincidently – but today the release of the long awaited album have excited the Dance music masses as well as the Perfect Stranger single (below)

For one. The tracks that have previously been heard on YouTube or the radio in live performances are to be perfectly honest, pretty excellent.

Having heard Skream’s Outside The Box and loving it I can see comparisons. But also, not just similarities, exact copies of certain drum beats and samples that I’ve heard before. So the MM work, I’ve noticed to be not THAT original even though in a fashion it is. That is my only gripe about the album but I doubt many will notice nor even care. Sam Frank reappearing on the vocals of Boiling Water is one fantastic example but we won’t count that.

It has got some brave, piercing tones that’ll rock and vibrate your breast bone giving you a new beats-per-minute heart rate. K Dance and Karma Crazy will most definitely annoy the neighbours!

Most of us already know of I Need Air ft Angela Hunte. Without doubt a sublime record and more recently Perfect Stranger featuring @KatyBmusic storming up the UK charts from today (below). There are some seriously great tunes on here although not to everyones tastes. If there’s one track which gets me when in Clubland mode is MAD. The balance is delightful and the grime is pure filth with a sweet top end riff. You’ll notice similar with the first track on the record being Flying Into Tokyo. I think that’s the money maker to be honest. It’s really, really lovely and will no doubt be heard on many an advert if they’ve managed to pay the right price. The Bug being Artworks “favourite at the moment” is also one of mine. It’s deep, it is tight work and got an awesome groove.

I think it’s great to hear Ms Dynamite coming back out more so onto the scene. With recently her vocal work with DJ Zinc on ‘Wile Out’ we have Fire and this time, Ms McLean is far hotter!

I must say that I believe that the main almighty track on this record is Getting Nowhere ft. John Legend. It has a great reminiscence of Moby’s work and can sell the album all by itself. It is an excellent piece of material and sounds great. THAT is the track that will cement them into the commercial charts. If it isn’t released as the next single then I’ll be incredibly surprised.

The boys @artworkmagnetic, @I_Skream and @iambenga have here a pivotal moment in Dance music history by unleashing Dubstep very much into the commercial side of the industry.

Magnetic Man have done extremely well over the Summer. I hope it continues.
