Review: More astro travelling through the avant-garde from West Coast imprint Deepblak, and the first collaboration between label boss Aybee and fellow space jazz cadet Afrikan Science. The Nibiru Projekt sees the duo dive head first into futuristic deep otherness, with typically mind bending results split right down middle between club business and more introspective noodlings. "Strange Task" is all neck snapping bruk house with a speaker punishing bass line submerged in jungle deep atmospherics, with the duo demonstrating a lighter side to their productions on the female vox lead broken beat of "Some One". Aybee and Afrikan Science conjure up some excellent ambient machine funk on "Ordinance" with "Threshold" being reminiscent of Tricky in his most experimental paranoid pomp.
