The latest offering from
KJah is another telling
sign that classic drum and
bass is making a marked
resurgence in the modern
musical landscape. This
EP oozes white- label
dub plate and reeks of
high grade. Starting with
the title track Jabber
Jaw, a classic jump up
track with a focus on a
beefy bassline, sporting a
familiar but always thrilling
tone. Mixed with the
cartoon samples this song
emcompasses how much
fun good dnb should be.
The next track "Gassed to
the Max" harks back to the
classic dark jungle vibes
of the mid 1990s, a motif
filtering through to the
next track "Show Me Your
Love", which mixes the
jump up vibes of the title
track with the old school
samples of its predecessor
and culminates in a
wonderfully uplifting track.
A great EP for DJ's and
bassheads alike.

Silence Groove
Progressive trance meets Drum and Bass
Silence Groove is essentially a progressive trance artist who has
stumbled into drum and bass. Early offerings from the Polish DJ
are expansive and interesting, see 'Shiny Snow' the first rude essay
of an 18 year old. With the 'Eat Me Softly' EP however Silence
Groove found that a more rhythmic, measured approach actually
counterpoints the flowing progressive texture of previous releases
and allows space for melody, which comes in a fairly typical piano-
led format. The most recent iteration of this blending is 'Reflection',
a single released on Soul Deep. This record has a heavy rhythmic
element but still manages to blend a pulsing, glowing background
with drifting vocals in the foreground.
