This is a rip from the Gilles Peterson – you all know how much support I have been giving Joy Orbison, he can do no wrong! <3

Once again I will state that I love Joy Orbison and what he is doing for electronic music. It is a refreshing sound that is cleansing our burnt out/bloghaus banger palette. There is a a hint of the crazy dubstep everyone is raving about but in a very tasteful way. My favorite element of Joy Orbison’s productions is his nod to classic UK Garage and the greats such as Todd Edwards, especially what he does with vocals. Joy is the master of subtly – pulling from all the best parts of dubstep, Garage, 2-Step while creating his own version of warm and soulful electronic loveliness.

A more up beat/housey sounding track from Joy Orbison – a great follow up to “Hyph Mngo” and “Wet Look”. He is definitely in my top 3 new acts list of 2009. I want more!

This is one of very few times I checked out and artist just because of their name and it has paid off, JOY ORBISON. Best. Name. Ever. AND his music is fucking awesome. This is dubstep that isn’t full of annoying huge warbly basslines, instead it is that introspective chilled out dubstep that Mount Kimbie and Burial have perfected meets that old school Garage sound, which I both love. Also I saw “Todd Edwards, Martin Hannett, and Mike Watt” in his influences section of Myspace and that won me over. Check out these 2 fantastic 40 min mixes as well as some clips of Joy Orbison’s own productions on myspace. I am going to be watching out for this guy.

This mix opens up with an amazing remix of Jamie Lidell’s “Another Day” by Rustie, it sounds like a drugged out Timbaland/Justin Timberlake collaboration.
