In the wake of a weighty mix series and a sell-out Bristol show, Sudo Sound are here with another killer EP. Take the Lead is a well-matched pairing between a rising label and an established name - none other than Chord Marauder corner stone Jafu

Whilst the Canadian artist has worked with the likes of Geode, J. Sparrow, Kodama and Congi, his personal discography bears enough merit alone to cement his name in the scene for good.

Take the Lead comes a year after Jafu’s 26 track LP Stack City (Chord Marauders) and carries the same originality and sonic dexterity whilst leaning more towards the firmly dub-oriented feel that Sudo Sound has been championing in recent years.

The EP exemplifies Jafu’s ability to artfully present playful melodies, radical drum patterning and far-out sonics without pretence. Melodic progressions are anchored to head-nodding percussion and smile-inducing licks – explorations in sound that carry a modern edge whilst paying respects to the techniques and experimentalism typified by dub music’s originators.

Jafu opens with the titular Take the Lead which launches from a hyped-up vocal sample into an adventure that veers between trademark melodic expression and darker phrases too –eastern accents and whip cracks peep out from between murky lows and provide subtlety to an otherwise body shaking track.

In Used To, Jafu opens with light atmospheric chord work before pulling the rug from beneath us as we find ourselves in the midst of trudging wobs and steady kicks. As with Take the Lead, the central motifs of the song are maintained but modified – modulated by melodic expressions and dubbed out snippets from the spacey beyond.

The EP is not done there. Bonus track Flux n’ Fux is as irregular and swung as the last 18 months and yet just as enjoyable as your first night back in the dance. Delightfully catchy melodies sit astride asymmetrical drum patterns in a track exemplifies Jafu’s reputation as a boundary pusher.

"J. Kong is back for his 4th EP outing on In:flux Audio, delivering two original tracks that showcase his talent as a producer within the 140 scene. Title track 'Santana' sees him arcing back to his early grime sounds as he teams up with the talented Charlie Dax on vocals, the pair complimenting each other to create a right earworm of a track to kick off the EP. The B-side to the release, 'Delight', sees J. Kong bringing more of his recent production vibes to the EP - a much more stripped back affair that showcases the producers love for sound design and keeping the listener engaged throughout. Stellar work!

On remix duty we bring through man like Dunman to tackle 'Delight'. The producer has been on absolute fire this past year, and here is no exception, as he takes the track and flips it into UK Garage hybrid, with the smoothest intro you'll hear this year before the 2nd drop breaks out in the best way possible."

KAMAL - PANINO [LDHF] (FREE DL)

For a tune that literally screams at you heavyweight champion, Bare Knuckle fits the bill perfectly. With that first bell ringing you know you’re in for a knockout tune followed with resonating bass that slowly builds up drawing you in, sounding like a rail gun starting up and ready to do absolute damage. The first bass in the drop starts you off like many classic FWD tunes from back in the day when we were trying to define the 140 sound, with a touch of modern Grime-esque flow. This song switches up into some out-of-this world sounding layers that make you feel like you’ve been abducted. Bare Knuckle has it all and finishes that soon, it makes you want to reload it instantly
