Rabit
Status: Emerging
Why You Should Pay Attention: Houston producer Eric "Rabit" Burton made a name for himself by reworking the aggressive skittering of U.K. grime to fit his own creative obsessions. His recent tracks still retain trace elements of that style, as well as the brooding of dark ambient and the brutality of industrial music. But on the 2015 album, Communion, his moody, shape-shifting compositions, both emotionally and rhythmically unsettled, stutter and careen off into a spooky realm of their own.
