2562: Dave Huismans is a producer who in the space of barely a few releases
has managed to make both the techno and dubstep communities sit up and
take notice. Named after The Hague zip code where he lives and works, the
2562 project is characterized by a post-garage skippiness, with rolling bass
and hyper-edited snares learned from broken beat, a sense of space and echo
learned from dub, and a devastating 4/4 anchorage and attention to detail
from techno old and new.
The result is more than the sum of its parts, an incredibly fulsome yet lean,
natural-sounding, dancefloor-wrecking hybrid that's found favour not only
among dubstep heads but anyone drawn to fresh and innovative club music.
Huismans also made some rather kick-ass bruk tunes himself under the
name Dogdaze. Although that project is now retired, he continues to turn
out incredible deep house and techno confections as A Made Up Sound.
