On his first full-length release, Bristolian dubstep producer Joker reveals his own vision for the genre, attempting to freshen things up by incorporating various unexpected elements into his sound including croaky rappers, megadrive blips, soul crooners and even children’s choirs. The record flutters between rough basement fillers (like the grimy ‘Tron’) and catchy pop tracks (‘On My Mind’ gloriously resembles decade-old UK garage). There’s even a cheeky nod to New Jack Swing on ‘Level 6 (Interlude)’. But with its mechanical beats and flat hooks, The Vision has an emotionless streak running through its core. Technically proficient, sure, but a rather dreary listen nonetheless. Dean Van Nguyen
