Youth is a kaleido-sonic visionary and master sound manipulator who never stops creating in all mediums — a spelunker of the artistic and expressive psyche . Though he is also a poet , painter and multi-instrumentalist , his production prowess has been honed for decades , nurtured by the cross-pollination of his many mediums . He has also been an instrumental force in the genesis of many genres . post-punk , industrial , acid house , trance , chillout , future dub and countless other un-categorical mashups that manifest when Youth is at the helm . Again , it is hard to know where to start , but I believe the Celtic Vedic In Dub album by Dub Trees is a good place to start with Youth production ; it is also an amazing album to jam along to on guitar . This record revolves around Jah Wobble ’ s iconic plate-shifting basslines , which underpin a swirling cosmos of drone , resonance and shape-shifting atmospheres generated by both Celtic and Eastern instrumentation mixed with electronic treatments . Sympathetic drones from bagpipes , sitars and human voice intertwine , while elephantine rhythms charm and hypnotise us into the infinite . Skipping-stone rhythmic patterns flitter in and out of the mix , sliding us into a transcendental atrium of sound where any snare hit can explode into a million little universes or drop the ground beneath us , exposing yawning cavernous chasms of wonder . Youth is a stateless sonic explorer in the geographic and metaphysical sense and one can find truly new sounds and styles in every release on his Liquid Sound Design label .
