140 BPM Jeff The Dolphin - (3:32) 140 BPM
Review: Any Seinfeld reference always raises a few smiles here at the Juno office, and this latest EP from Nightwave has already earned a special place in our hearts with its name and artwork. The music itself may not have anything to do with the sitcom, but the music is as good as it's ever been from the producer, showing her production skills and ideas to be coming on in leaps and bounds with every release. The title track combines fluttering melodies over booming bass and solid 808 kicks, whilst "Jeff The Dolphin" takes a rapid arpeggiated synth line, gloopy bass, delicate organ notes and woodblock percussion to create the perfect fusion of Detroit and London bass sounds. "Jazz312" meanwhile combines Rhodes and trumpet samples with drawn out vocals and a fast juke flex, while the EP closes with "Heart Bit", a slower machine-funk number with rough, glitchy textures that recall Drexciya. This is undoubtedly Nightwave's most consistent EP to date, and comes highly recommended.
