Andromeda EP
More itchy techno dancehall weight from the Duppy / Roolingz / Bokeh crew, this time connecting with Japanese soundsystem don Element. RIYL Equiknoxx, East Man, The Bug, Kelman Duran.
Having opened a studio last year in Jamaica, the Duppy Gun / Roolingz / Bokeh stable of artists have already been busy dubbing tracks that stretch across established genre boundaries and geographical borders. The original project linked the US with Jamaica, and on the 'Andromeda EP' they bring in Japan's renegade soundsystem and label Riddim Chango, tapping producer Element to provide two stargazing riddims. Duppy's I Jahbar and Darkblood take center stage immediately, going back-and-forth over Element's tweaky 'Andromeda Riddim' on 'Love My People'. It's one of the more off-kilter tracks the crew has stamped their name on, with winding synth arpeggios curved around squashed bouncing-ball beats, spooky strings and gut-punching sub, but with I Jahbar and Darkblood's rhymes everything's grounded in Jamaican positivity.
'Puff It' pushes the airlock-grade weightlessness of its predecessor to one side, heading into classic dancehall modes and allowing I Jahbar and Darkblood to take the lead again, while 'Walk & Stagger' - based on Element's 'Rum Song Riddim' - might be our favorite on the set, using the classic 'Pulse X' overdriven TR-909 kick and ASMR trills to evoke a bizarre UK-to-JA hybrid sound that feels effortlessly global.
