1980s-inflected cinematic brilliance emerges from the dubstep scene

One of the most powerful things about the dubstep movement – aside from the monumental sound itself – is how its rootedness has provided a platform for a generation of artists to launch out into other things from. The spaciousness, drama and flexibility of the template has allowed maverick producers like Mala, Shackleton and Kode 9 to create their own unique sound worlds that bridge the gap between clubland and the avant-garde, far more than, say, drum'n'bass ever did. And now Bristol-based producer David Corney can be added to that list.
