Review: Four quality house cuts here from Joint4Nine, AKA Bogota, Columbia native Ivan Lozano. Opener 'Be Alright' has echoes of a certain Urban Soul classic in the vocal department (though it's not actually a sample - it's more of a 'feel' thing), a cool synth bassline and some classy sax work, 'Have A Dream' is pure late 80s Chi-town nostalgia and 'Slappin' Basslines' is a nicely wonked-out affair with lots of lovely squelchy 303 bass. The standout to these ears, though, is 'Where Were You When You Heard Acid?', which chugs, squelches, bleeps, whispers and just doesn't stop for (nearly) seven glorious minutes.
Review: Get To Know AKA Larry Holcome cut his teeth as the in-house mixing and mastering engineer at Cr2 Records, and made his production debut in the mid-00s with a string of breakbeat releases on labels like Botchit & Scarper and Spin Out Records. None of which would give you any reason to suppose that his latest release, which comes on his own Future Sound Of Then label, would be a dusty, lo-fi, mid-paced Balearic kinda jam that makes extensive use of a Janet Jackson vocal sample, but such is indeed the case. Solid ammunition for all those afternoon, poolside, warm-up and BBQ sets this summer.
