Review: Following on from a seriously impressive run of releases, we see the magnificent Kodama link up with Force Recordings for a very impactful two tracker, exploring the vast depth of soundscaping possible within the lo-fi end of UKG. We kick off with the stunning title track 'Almost Made You Cry', a Burial-like epic dripping in sumptuous reverberations and powerful bass warbles, taking us somewhere we have never visited before with a truly outstanding original creation. On the flipside, we emerge from the fog somewhat as we are greeted by a much more stripped back bop in 'Blurred Faces', another emotive masterclass in 2-step, this time pushed forward by the heavily reverberated vocal lines and potent bassline below.
Review: One of America's most on-point junglists Jaybee breaks into a new year with two absolute stinkers on Force. "Anti-Paradise" is a howling hurricane of groans and moans over some devilishly tight rolling drums while "Bumbaclot Selekta" pays homage to your old lady with a plough-like energy and a dark bass texture that wouldn't have gone amiss on 31 in its scene-shaping infancy. Jaybee's not messing around here.
