The Awesome โJewel Kidโ is back with a new release on Gregor Tresherโs ‘Break New Soil’.
It only seems two minutes since I was reviewing the โBreak New Soilโ release of โFac3offโ which is still actively doing the rounds with intent and purpose. I talked about the quality of music and artists this label has brought to us over the years including โEnrico Sanfgiulianoโ, โFrankyeffeโ, โMars Billโ, โThe YellowHeadsโ as well as โGregor Treshersโ himself.
In line with the label name itโs defiantly seems to be a label that has initially introduced us to a lot of the currently respected artists and sounds we currently listen to. Artists and sounds which are now firmly embedded into our minds and its certainly great to see more of a โBreak New Soilโ influx hitting our ear drums now.
So on this release we have โJewel Kidโ, Heโs an artist whoโs been an insistent force for quite some time. โMaltaseโ based his work has a quantity of flair and uniqueness compounded to a techno production output. You can find is other works featured on all the hot tech influenced labels including is own imprint โAlleanzaโ and heโs also a very notable DJ with array of international club / radio features.
On this EP with have three tracks to hear around the 126 BPM mark and we start with the title track โAbout Lifeโ. Instantly with this track you get the impression of what I would call a truer or more traditional Techno approach with abstract riff patterns that roll throughout. It quite quickly adds a rolling bass that makes great impact and drives it along very well. Further synth lines are introduced and build with intensity and make more transient but in the modern way.
Next up on rotation is โ The Highway Manโ that in title sounds like itโs a feature film. This one starts off in tightly distorted drum fashion with a creepy techno line from the off. Its more intense than the prior as it quickly pulls you in to a darker electronic sculpture. Thereโs clever sounds neatly worked in as moves along in arrangement and atmosphere sounds that emphasizes its intent.
The third title is โAu Faitโ which I believe is term used to describe knowledge and detail. This quality cut is a warmer sounding affair with a slightly softer touch to the rhythmic sections whilst maintaining hypnotic intensity in the prior tracks. Its builds seamlessly as it transitions from on section another providing a capsulation abduction affect.
Another impressive release for โBreak New Soilโ and โJewel Kidโ continuous his unique journey in style.
