Guido: Anidea

Of the plethora of producers currently mining the post-dubstep terrain, Bristolian Guido stands out as one of the most gifted. He arranges sound with an elegant precision, as though painting a still life; finely judged beats are overlaid with broad, lavish synths, with the results ranging from the delicate staccato strings of Cat in the Window to the disorientating squall of Mad Sax. Like the best R&B, it is also geared towards a kind of emotional opulence: Orchestral Lab is as heart-tugging as abstract electronic music can get. Anidea also features actual R&B vocalists: on Beautiful Complication, Aarya is torn between succumbing to the thrill of the crush and panicking at her loss of control. "Every time he smiles at me, I gotta talk about it," she gasps, as Guido sets off electric shocks around her.
