  • Walton will release his debut album on Hyperdub in July. To date, the 22-year-old Sam Walton's sound has been a blur of different influences ranging from old-school house to grime and UK funky. Beyond arrives off the back of two previously released EPs for Kode9's label: his debut effort, Walton, released in 2011, was followed by last year's All Night, which took "roughly-hewn grime elements and polished them up in bright colours and brighter melodies" according to a review by RA's Andrew Ryce. A third Hyperdub 12-inch, Baby, will precede the album on May 27th (you can listen to the title track here.) The producer said he wants Beyond to offer a "contrast between bright and dark." He added: "I didn't want to stick to a specific genre either. Just a vibe." The album will be Hyperdub's first full-length release of 2013. Tracklist 01. Beyond 02. Need To Feel 03. Help Me Out 04.
