2K88
SHAME
Boomkat Product Review:
Formally known as 1988, producer Przemysław Jankowiak loots the Polish rap canon on his 2K88 debut, peppering dusty samples over his cinematic fusion of soundsystem-ready basslines, slippery breaks and dizzying ambient textures.
Even if you're not familiar with classic Polish hip-hop, there's plenty to sink yr teeth into here. Jankowiak has been producing for years, and his latest is inspired by PL SOUND, a local scene that's indebted to British bass music but muddles its output with social messages that developed as Poland's new identity materialized after the fall of communism. On 'SHAME' he reflects the past with flickering snippets of rap from the turn of the millennium, but this isn't an exercise in nostalgia - 2K88 is eager to thread these elements through vastly different backdrops, creating a new story in the process. On 'SAYIN' GOODBYE I BEGIN, I STRIKE WITH A FLAME', he gives a nod to drill with the chattering snares, but doesn't try and replicate the form, instead using the hits to cut through layers of eerie ambience made from processed voices, sampled guitars and heaving basses. It's music that exists in multiple time zones, using fragments of the past to suggest an alternate future.
Jankowiak edges further towards peak time on 'GODMODE', pacing his breakneck kicks with Burial-like reverberations, Autotuned whines and euphoric pulses, and knocks the tempo back and forth on 'EXHALE', retching between moody, low-lit halfstep and frenetic widescreen jungle. He dispenses with beats altogether on the noisy interlude 'DIODES', before stepping into Squarepusher territory on the title track and tweaking complex snare rushes around hiccuping loops and stifled vocal cries. 'SHAME' wears its influences proudly on its sleeve, stitching a meaningful patchwork of imported and home-grown ideas into a firm statement that doesn't just play to locals, it shows anyone who cares to listen just what Poland's vibrant hybrid club scene has to offer.
