Nobody would ever accuse Bassnectar, a beatmaker from Santa Cruz, Calif., of being flighty or slight. Typically, "Timestretch" is heavy, with a slow, ominous bass pulse that serves as gravity on the bottom and moody, methodical beats that crack in a complicated lattice up above. Textures raw and singed give it all an almost rock 'n' roll feel, but this is seething-circuit electronic music all the way. -- Andy Battaglia
