unslaved s punjab is a journey through three unconventional club tracks, hear genres entwined, sounds broken down and set free in the most spell-binding way. first track punjab is an eight minute creeper built from insane drum patterns and layered with an eerie, yet blissful melody. with an almost ambient quality, punjab is an off- kilter yet perfect. on the ip, b1 apogee is a dark masterpiece with the rawest, yet most striking of characters. a track that wouldn t have been out of place in early dubstep or grime circles with a spine-tingling bass line, apogee has that sparse, stripped-back feel where listeners discover hidden elements on each listen. exploring the murkiest corners of electronica, apogee is an intense mover that sets a high standard for the release.

jami bassols has been a close member of hivern since its beginnings as one half of aster. now, following the release of noche/ templo, his two acclaimed edits for nvh, he returns to the label with his solo debut as jmii. in thrills, the barcelonian producer displays a sound that s equally raw and lively, with a very personal sense of quirkiness. the title track is jmii s most expansive production to date. an uplifting house number built around an elastic bassline and sprinkled with a bubbly arpeggiated melody, echoed vocal snips and ravey pads. bailar is a sort of lunatic take on chi-house, with a crude bassline, psychotic organ chords and feverish percussion coming together to form an ultra-infectious groove. tightbrass follows a similar path, but conducted by frenzied synthetic horns that bring to mind a marching band of manic robots. in his remix, comeme s christian s. brings the track to a darker territory, reducing it to it s core elements and focusing in a nasty bassline that will for sure cause serious damage in the dancefloors in the upcoming months.
