Jack Sparrow At Juno Download

Review: Leeds dubstepper and Tectonic regular Jack Sparrow ascends from the misty depths with a killer debut on Mala's Deep Medi Musik label! Borrowing a hefty vocal sample from The Watchmen that influences the title, "Afraid Of Me" is the latest in Deep Medi's long tradition of twisted next century steppers, all heavy kicks and pulsating sub bass that craftily descend into the shadows midway through before dropping back into laser precision focus. Sparrow pays heed to the meditative vibes of the label with "Good Old Days" adopting the laid back jazzy tropes of more liquid forms of drum and bass but applying them to the 140+bpm mainframe.

Review: Leeds producer Jack Sparrow puts a big dose of Funky into his dubsteppy beats on "Terminal", keeping the bass and the pace in equal measure makes for a blistering tune. "Torment" is a slower, darker tune which uses some beautiful atmospherics to fill out the space between the half-step beats. Released on the highly touted Tectonic imprint, Jack Sparrow is a name to follow in the future.
