Release Notes:
Jitterbug's paltry Discogs entryùit only includes this releaseùis a bit
deceiving: This UK-based producer's debut EP is a fully-formed
statement of intent, putting them in orbit immediately with Jus-Ed's
Underground Quality and the deep house sound that has been crafted
slowly but surely over the past few years via his influential radio
show. (J-bug proudly points out on MySpace that Ed played two tracks
recently.)
Each track here falls neatly into that smeared house sound, one in
which the synths sound as if they're being played in a cardboard box
before they're let out into the world. Black Jazz Consortium's New
Horizon EP did the same thing, reveling in distorted drum programming
and minor key riffing. "Dream Memory" is the best original here, taking
A-side honors and tying an Aphex circa Analogue Bubblebath-era melody
to a house beat. It's psychedelic, and far more immediately engaging
than its successor, "Speakers Corner," which wonders how much mileage
can be had out of a cymbal and muted tones. (The answer: At least
six-and-a-half minutes.)
"No Pressure" does the same as "Speakers Corner" for the most part,
adding a funk guitar line to keep things fresh, while Strength Music
man DJ Qu turns up for a remix and proceeds to keep things boiling
mercilessly for six minutes, never letting "No Pressure" climax in any
discernible way. It's a nice metaphor, in fact, for Jitterbug's debut
EP when you think about itùa collection of tunes that hint and feint,
never really doing much more than creating excellent mood music to
build into and out of.
