TRACKLIST
01) (04:52) Galla Shot
02) (05:10) Ubikus
There are many good reasons why IJO is sometimes known as the Lithuanian Aphex Twin.
His mastery of glitchy breakbeat annihilation has been well known in his home country
for many years, and his below-the-radar releases on labels across europe are
testament to his high level of perfectionism and international appeal. His live shows
are an unpredictable mix of hard-hitting beats, mysterious keyboards,
hands-in-the-air rave explosions and synthesizers ripped to shreds. But more
important than his aggressive sound palette, IJO's strongest link back to Aphex Twin
is his neverending sense of tension and beauty. Despite his reclusive character,
IJO's first demo for us (Time Symphaty, LOW002) was instantly picked up by Mary Anne
Hobbs at BBC Radio 1, so we are now proud to present to you his first solo release on
Lowvibe.
Ubikus
The perfect introduction to the complexity of IJO's sound, Ubikus is simultaneously
ambient, jungle, dubstep, glitch and chillout. Forget about classifying it, and allow
your ears to explore the layers upon layers of sliced-up oldskool drum breaks,
floating keys, sandpaper synths and infinite vocal stabs. As always on lowvibe,
expect some seriously deep bass to scoop you off the floor and throw you to the back
of the room. When you wake up, you won't know if you just had a dream or a nightmare.
Galla Shot
Now there's no holding back, with a straight-up cut-up breakbeat assault from
Lithuania's master slicer IJO. The simplicity of the roots jungle vibe on this track
covers an intricate framework of redesigned classic breaks. The constantly switching
rhythm explosions are designed for only one purpose, to blow out candles standing 100
metres away from the sound system, while the deep sub bass vibrates through the
ground all the way to the next town.
