Alberta native J.me.J has been the talk of the glitch-hop town this past year with some searing successes on Addictech. Proving his diversity with releases on labels spanning the globe such as Skanky Panky, Theoretic and Tycho, Jayme now graces Street Ritual with an EP showcasing his stylistic range. His trademark clean beats combine with heavy basslines, infectious melodies and meticulous sound design, telling the story of a talented self-taught musician honing his skills for nearly three decades. J.me.J tunes have received recognition from key members of the community like Ooah, Ill Gates and Samples. The title track, “Final Approach” skillfully creates tension with simmering strings, weaving excitement with every perfectly stitched edit. Skittery percussion, well-placed silence and relentless buzzing bass drone you into a higher state with “Impressions”. The wild card on this EP comes with “Uptempo Funk Sticks”, a true testament to Jayme’s diversity with its electro-paced frenetic stabs, hypnotic swells and driving momentum. A fitting finale to a successful year for this artist!

Tracklisting:
A) Final Approach
B) Impressions

New York heavy hitter Luca Venezia aka DROP THE LIME is finishing up his European “Hot as Hell” tour, and with every big tour, there is a big release to spin around. With the single bearing the same name as his tour, “Hot as Hell” is a throwback towards his extatic love of 50′s rock & roll. With the remix roster looking oh so wicked, you can expect Canblaster, Para One, Will Bailey, Yolanda Be Cool, and an extra special treated remix by Nouveau Yorican.

Fun Fact: Nouveau Yorican is a duo consisted of Laidback Luke and Gina Turner.
