Onyx is everything wrong with what I would describe as 'live show culture' within Electronic Dance Music, but less broadly, Dubstep. From Decimate to Crusher, Onyx is nothing more than a compilation of poorly-produced, heavy-hitting Briddim tracks with a couple of Meldub and Hybrid Trap tunes interspersed in between; this is where live show culture begins to rear its ugly head.

A fantastic display of Squarepusher's versatility as an artist as you journey through his glitchy, jazzy and full soundscape. You truly cannot get better than jamming out to some Vic Acid or just skateboarding at night around the deserted downtown area of your city while listening to Beep Street; there's nothing else like it.
