Modestep‘s newest release had me doing a sonic double take after the first time I heard it. “Inside My Head” featuring sounds from Teddy Killerz and Ghetts has Modestep exploring some darker sounds compared to the rest of their catalogue of high energy sounds. A moaning bass sets the tone before the chorus brings back a semblance of the grimy dubstep sounds we’re accustomed to hearing.

I especially enjoy the bit of electric guitar that finds its way into pockets of the track, most noticably at 2:17, where the track clears some space before taking off into some hip-hop territory. A brilliant use of samples from Dexter had me really getting into Ghetts’ lyricism toward the end of the track. Although this might not become a major hit for Modestep, I have to give them props for experimenting with some cool genre blending sounds. Enjoy the track below and head to Modestep’s SoundCloud for a free download of “Inside My Head.”
