Hybridity is a difficult trick to pull off: graft the elements together without the requisite deftness of touch, and you end up with a Frankenstein's monster, the stitching all too visible. To hear it done properly, turn the headphones up loud on 'No One Else': a globular, half-submerged bassline, straight out of 90s dark garage, bumps up against contemporary synthetic-funk flourishes, a driving, complex beat that plays off a 4x4 kick, a hyperactively syncopated snare and hard-swung hihats against each other, and a timeless, soulful vocal sample.
