Zomby's debut on Hyperdub and a record widely regarded as a high watermark for the late-2000s wonky and mutant dubstep moment — two sides that arrived in 2008 and immediately signalled that something genuinely new was happening within and around the dubstep ecosystem. The anonymous, masked producer brought a cartoonish, psychedelic sensibility to a scene that was at the time still finding its own extremities, and Mush captured that quality perfectly.
Mush occupies the A-side with the deconstructed, wobbly energy that defined Zomby's early output — melody and rhythm bent into strange new shapes, the dubstep framework present but treated with a gleeful irreverence that pointed toward the mutant directions the music would take in the years that followed. Rustie's remix of Spliff Dub on the flip brings the Glasgow producer's own hypercolour sensibility to bear — pitched-up textures and kaleidoscopic energy that feels both entirely of its moment and entirely ahead of it. A seminal twelve-inch from a pivotal year in UK club music history.
