Review:
A drummer by trade, New Zealand's Julien Dyne extends his mastery of the beats into his follow-up to 2009's Pins And Digits LP, Glimpse. Having high profile fans in Gilles Peterson and Benji B, BBE have picked up this latest album which mixes hazy 2012 bass textures with a healthy hint of soul - often coming via vocalists such as She's So Rad, and Electric Wire Hustle's Ladi6, as on the standout "Who Are You" which recalls Erykah Badu's brilliant 2008 tribute to J Dilla, "The Healer". A must-have for fans of future-thinking soul and wonky, post-Dilla beats.
