Fractal Dubstep
When Fractal and BT unleashed fury with their dubstep collaboration, Letting Go, fans of the long-time trance legend didn’t know what to think. A surprise? Most certainly so. A betrayal? Not at all. BT’s successful attempt at skillfully stepping outside of his original realm of music production is a good sign. This means that he is up for adding his unique style to other genres that are catching fire in electronic music, and bridging gaps between the bass world and the trance family.
