Stuff sounds like scattered beep, bop, and bloop's to me... but if somebody else gets it then that's their bag man.

The Harmonimixes are a perfect example of why James Blake deserves the exposure he gets, the A Milli one in particular is a well-constructed remix which completely reverses the vibe of the original tune. Although I'll admit it's not always the most listenable music in the world, the guy has made some of the most unique sounding tracks in the history of this genre. To be honest, I'm glad he doesn't mind being known as a dubstep producer because it shows there are still people in this genre that are making innovative, non-formulaic UK music which is what dubstep has been about from the beginning.
