67 BPM Review: James Edward Jacob came out of the dubstep scene, but the London based producer has since been quite diverse within his sound, releasing records via Shy FX's Digital Soundboy and Tiga's harder hitting Twin Turbo imprint. His new release lifted arrives courtesy of his own Boom Ting imprint with some interesting takes on directly executed moments for the dancefloor. Take "Hovver It" for instance, where a wonky/grinding UK bassline takes charge over minimal breaks on this contorted take on electro. He proves his deft hard at Bristolian style techno on "Paranoid" where bouncy kicks and howling drum patterns back a Marcel Dettmann style plucked melody. Similarly "Ghost Optics" tears up the blueprint of another genre to give a modern reinterpretation - in this case drum & bass: and it's impressive.
