Serbian-Australian DJ/producer Dirty South (a.k.a. Dragan Roganović) epitomizes the state of modern EDM, winning a global audience with his sweeping, mellifluous productions. Populated with guest vocalists and designed to accompany a 38-minute film of the same name directed by Roganović himself, With You alternates between pulsing house and atmospheric downtempo, unfolding with cinematic grandeur. "Freefallin'" has a shoegaze sheen to it à la M83, while the reverberated guitars of "The Unknown" recall those of The xx. But epic feel-good beats are Dirty South's bread and butter, with the euphoric "Unbreakable" setting the high-water mark here.
