Weekly MP3 #201: Boxcutter - Waiting for the Lights

Lovely digidub track, available via another decent enough Adult Swim compilation that starts playing as soon you open the link. (This track is one of the two highlights, IMO, although if you're into UK bass stuff more than I am you'll probably like a lot of it - Ikonika, Cooly G, SBTRKT, Zomby, et al.  The other one I liked is Dauwd's 'Ikopol')

Boxcutter's track's a really trad one compared to most of the comp, it took a few listens before I really paid attention to it.  But it has stuck with me.

 Irish muso Boxcutter has been releasing for a wee while, about 7 years I think... done a bunch of albums for Planet Mu, as well as lots of singles around the place.  Despite getting tagged as "dubstep" he usually mucks around with funk sounds and tempos a lot, even has tracks with octave-spanning disco slap bass and the like.
