Joaan At Juno Download

Review: After a brief period of inactivity midway through 2011, it's good to see 7even back on fine form again. At the point when dubstep was well and truly exploding in everyone's ears, the French imprint stood as one of the first trustworthy bastions of the techno bass music crossover, with a strong contingent of loyal artists on the roster. "Nocturnality" sees Joaan applying dubstep and garage signifiers to a steady house beat. The key hook is the mid 90s organ synth, here played out with a mournful quality that lets it echo around fellow pads for an altogether deep and engaging track. "Out Of Slang" meanwhile plots a more familiar trajectory for industrial-strength dub styles. The space in the track is palpable, with the punchy bassline taking all the glory while the beat patiently waits its turn to get stuck in. Highly recommended.
