THE JAFFA KID Vinilo y CD

Review: The sheer volume of material The Jaffa Kid puts out himself makes it tricky to keep up, but fortunately you can count on labels like Gated to offer a more manageable window into his sound. Taking elements from electro, breakbeat and electronica, Daniel Pringle surfs sinewaves and sequences to create heartfelt machine music with blood pumping in its circuits. Presented across double vinyl, this is a proper album experience which takes in starry-eyed chill-out, misfit acid techno, crunchy hardcore and much more besides. You might call it braindance, or you might just call it The Jaffa Kid.

Review: Don't let the screen ambient opener fool you because Jaffa Kid's new album is a rave ready offering packed with acid and breakbeats that it is frankly impossible not to love. The sound designs throughout is exquisite, from the fresh drum sounds to the deep space synth lines. It's all arranged in an ever evolving fashion that keeps you on your toes from the floaty vibes of 'Chaz Lemon' to the more bristling breaks of 'Lerryunder'. 'Ilk Hummer' is another one that shows off this producer's knack for cinematic soundscapes as well as dance floor beats.
