Comments: The British trio Magnetic Man is at the forefront of the dubstep movement, which their music is helping push into the mainstream. The band's eponymous debut was issued in the UK back in the fall, and it's now getting a proper stateside release. Magnetic Man a very intriguing dance record, combining the band's mostly instrumental tracks with pop numbers that feature rising star Katy B, R&B king John Legend and British MC Ms. Dynamite, among others.

Though the record is solid from start to finish, Katy B steals the show on "Perfect Stranger" and "Crossover". (There's also a remix of the former song by Magnetic Man's Benga.) She's got the makings of a pop superstar, and here's hoping that these two songs speed up the U.S. release of her debut, Katy on a Mission. In the meantime, dance along to Magnetic Man with tracks 7, 3, 11, 14 and 4.
