Now this dude really is something. Rephlex laid virtually dormant for a while because they just don't follow the fashion train whatsoever. They gave the world the seminal Grime comps then they left it all the heck alone. I feel that's because they don't want to compromise the classic Rephlex sound. Now, Jodey K IS the Rephlex sound, his last EP was a cracking collection of hyper-catchy acid house & sharp electro-ish tunes & so is this 6 track beauty. He molds Chicago House, Detroit Techno & that distinct squiggly "braindance" groove into fresh, funky shapes without too much technical trickery or flash stuff drowning out any of the flow and vibrancy. He keeps it pure, infusing each track with lush synth lines and undeniably tasty rhythms. His stuff isn't remotely samey either - each track has a strong individuality and many work in multiple ways - they could straddle various disparate DJ sets much like AFX himself, or Drexciya. This is totally brilliant gear, my favourite label coming up trumps again with one of the finest contemporary producers out there!
* Rephlex hooked up with Jodey Kendrick after hearing some tracks from his debut CD on Napalm Enema, out of Canada. One might say it’s very Drexciyan or Aphexy music, but that’s because it’s rooted in Rephlex’s favourite genres of New York Disco, Chicago House and Detroit Techno, though with a certain mystery something special added. Careful use of microtuning and analogue tweaking, combined with a very British pastoral quality, Jodey provides us with something pleasurable and original to listen to every time.
* An extremely prolific musician, with more than 1000 tracks in the vaults, 2 double albums in the pipeline for imminent
release, our journey with Jodey has only just begun. It’s exciting instrumental electronic music and the tracks on this EP
are particularly good on the dance floor; as usual they have been previewed in clubs globally, from Space in Ibiza to O2 arena, where they have consistently rocked the joints.
* This EP is the followup to last years ‘Indus Silver Club’ and serves as a preview for his forthcoming 2CD.
