Review: Having first appeared on the evergreen bass innovation stable for their Integrate album last year, Manchester's JFO returns to Southpoint with a full EP that lives up to its name... Lean, minimal and humming with authentic dubspace science. The title track says it all; shimmering subs and reflective synth ripples, it's as pristine as we've come to expect from the Crystal Recordings founder. Elsewhere we're massaged by eastern pipes on "Illy Dub", we're pushed into the cavernous jaws of deep dubstep with the vibrantly percussed "Darka" and given a royal slap with strings and grimey rifle snares on "Peak". In case there wasn't enough reason to bag this, Triple S has twisted up "Illy Dub" for good measure. Powerful.
