If the names James Blake or Skream mean nothing to you, then you may as well stop reading now.
Still here? Then you're in for a treat.
Pray is the debut single from producer Deco Child: five minutes of blissful electronica. Imagine the minimalist style of Blake but with more of a dancefloor flavour like that of Skream or other dubstep producers. Pray is a downbeat, mid-tempo effort full of dizzyingly layered synths and mesmeric vocal samples that sure enough live up to the track's title. Mix in a dubstep beat and some bass drops and the result is this contemporary piece of haunting solemnity. Let's hope there's more where this came from.
4/5
