if you had to define what it is about offshore's music that makes him stand out a little from the the whole post-dubstep brouhaha, it's that he combines an ability to make big, vicious, system-shaking tracks that also sound human - eccentric and handmade and unique. using the space given him by the full-length and informed by spending more time listening to gang of four than the latest edm / trap sensation, ewan robertson crashes together styles and instruments and ideas like an eccentric 19th century anarchist pastry chef given access to a moulinex. the result is exhilarating, funny and cutting edge, yes, but also deeply affecting. there aren't that many electronic musicians who make music that sounds so personal, so much an emanation of their own personality.
