Singles & EPs Round Up - 27th Febuary, 2022

Justus Raym - Epileptic EP (average negative)

Vertical Divider

When taking a wide-eyed look around, words weren't enough for Raym to describe what he saw. Musical assistance was the answer & what better genre than jazz's free flowing, reactionary vocabulary to help? Even then he had to invent his own one man, post truth, anthropocene dwelling nujazz lexicon to fully express the madness & absurdity we've created.

Pantology - Dragonfly 44

Pantology jumps right in with both feet so hold tight as he uses those funky, neck snapping old school hip hop drums to fuel this nu-jazz space age fusion trip that once the initial shock is over just freezes you in its headlights until the last note. Apparently this is just the start. I'm excited.

Meskerem Mees - Where I'm From

Vertical Divider

This tune is amazing and so is the video, I'm guessing bigger things await this rising star. Kicking off in a jaunty folk pop fashion it then takes a quick contemplative, slightly sorrowful string break to catch its breath before going full tilt until the end, demanding with it's almost punk like attitude that you pay full attention and then hit repeat, although you'll probably already have done that.

Meetsystem, Victor De Roo - Was het maar eens niet zo'n feest (Kontakt)

​

You've got to love a bit of Meetsystem and his warped (and rightly so), leftfield wonderland of electro poppy post punk. Familiar sounds are smelted and beaten in his workshop into weird and oddly angled new shapes, over which he lyrically puts the world to rights. I don't know what he's saying, but for some reason I believe him.
