Deadboy Earth Body

Long-awaited debut album by Deadboy - one of UK underground music's most
influential and respected artists. His early singles "U Cheated" and "If U Want
Me" predicted an entire generation of post-dubstep dance music, bringing muchneeded
r&b, house and dancehall influences to a landscape dominated by grime
and dubstep and helping to pave the way for a new age of UK club music. After
developing his unique attitude to the club across longer EPs like Blaquewerk and
Here, 2015 saw Deadboy usher in a new phase of his career with his deepest
record to date, White Magick - which saw elements of new age, meditational and
ambient music. Earth Body is not only Deadboy's first album, but the first time his
own vocals have been front and centre of his music rather than simply sampled.
Although this is clearly an album by someone who's done their time in the clubs -
as evidenced by the clattering drums of "Caballero", for instance - it's ultimately a
pop record, inspired by Deadboy's long-standing love of Scott Walker, Sade,
Drake and the Beach Boys and filled with bold choruses and multi-tracked
harmonies.
