Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Mark Kloud

dope plates 005 brings retro flavours from some of the scenes freshest talent. north london based sicknote delivers a beautiful rolling track called -2000 ad-. east asia based brit scape comes with some serious ambient amen pressure with -escapism- and u.s producer mark kloud ends the release with his superb track -strength-.

over the past several years, j(ay).a.d has released several eps touching on footwork, dubstep, grime and dancehall, approaching dance music with a wide open lens that tends to blur accepted genre lines. a bjork co-sign earlier last year jettisoned the amsterdam-based artist into the popular consciousness. raised in suriname, j(ay).a.d is the consummate dance music outsider and despite living in amsterdam, his music hardly ever fits in with the citys house and techno hegemony. the ogri ai ep is very much a blueprint record, simultaneously paranoid and dark, its seeped in industrial dread and natural beauty. and while many of j(ay).a.ds contemporaries attempt to create more alien sounding music at the expense of a human element, the ogri ai ep has been a overlooked milestone for the hybrid footwork & grime realm, and its now back on re-stock.
