Jay Haze At Juno Download

Review: Jay Haze may have been lumped in with the minimal explosion, but the often outspoken US producer has so much to offer than plinky-plonky hamster fart rhythms. "I Can Love You" shows why he is such a maverick; featuring a high-pitched falsetto - think Prince in particularly tight pants - its tumbling rhythm is also endowed with the kind of melancholic synths that prevailed on Autechre's Amber. At the other end of the spectrum is "Snoop Hang Low"; featuring a contribution from Michael Ho, its doubled up drums provide the basis for dense, glitchy percussion. But Haze is also a producer with a track record for making deep dance floor tracks and the spacey, layered chords of "Third Eyez Open" and "Chamber of Love" are testament to this.
