Some Think Sounds At Juno Download

Review: An excellent debut from a new crew comprising Hyperdub/Lightworks funky house producer Ossie, as well as Paul Black and Orial. Bringing some lo-fi vocal soul to UKF, the trio announce themselves with three stark but huge tracks - the shimmering and jacking title-tune, the mesmerising Detroit waves of "Nobody Knows" and the warped house of "Messing Around" - complete with background studio chatter for extra trippyness. Ossie's own mix of "Back Of My Car" is also included, and makes for an intense astral hardcore makeover that rounds off this enormously impressive introduction.

Review: In the year since his first release for Somethink Sounds, Eliphino has seen his profile continue to rise, with releases on Hoya:Hoya and Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings under his belt. This EP for Somethink Sounds is arguably his most potent statement yet, crossing genres with ease, and evoking the sounds of contemporaries such as FaltyDL. "More Than Me" is a UK funky-infused deep house groover with spectral vocals; in a similar vein is "No More" which utilises skipping percussion over warm sepia tones and UK garage style vocals, while the melancholic 2-step of "Devoted" combines its rich melodies and soulful vocal samples with the skill of Hotflush artists Sepalcure. Perhaps the best of the bunch is "I Played"; a dark roller with a growling sub bass sitting beneath its rattling rimshots, it sounds quite unlike the rest of the EP but adds some vibrant nighttime energy which contrasts quite nicely with the summery vibe of the rest of the EP.
